Chapter 1165: Goddess Hanti's Mockery!
"Ah ha ha ha ha----"
Feeling the vast amount of aura surging from all directions on the Underworld Boat Deck, Gol D. Roger immediately let out a hearty laugh.
After laughing, he looked at the back view of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, grinning to reveal two rows of pearly white teeth.
"Sage of Six Paths, it seems your words have angered the other side!"
"No matter what I say, the result would be the same."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo shook his head helplessly.
Then he turned back to look at Roger, as well as Mu and Uchiha Kagami.
"Then I'll leave this place to you all. Just guard this ship and the River Mouth."
"Yes, Sage of Six Paths!"
Mu and Uchiha Kagami nodded respectfully in agreement.
And Roger, after they finished speaking, instantly drew the long saber from his waist, identical to his beloved sword 'Ace' from when he was alive, and laughed loudly:
"Of course, as a pirate, the most important matter is to protect the ship and my partners!"
When Mu and Uchiha Kagami heard the word partner, one of them, though wrapped in bandages from head to toe, making his expression unclear, had a noticeable tremor in his gaze.
Although he appeared very cold and was known as the 'Tactician' of the Ninja World, famous for his conspiracy and politics, the Stone Village of the Land of Earth was the most united Ninja Village. As the Second Tsuchikage, he also valued the concepts of 'protection' and 'partner'.
There was no need to mention Uchiha Kagami. His heart dedicated to protecting Konoha was even acknowledged and accepted by Senju Tobirama.
Thus, the three had formed a good friendship during their journey together on the ship these past few days. Especially Uchiha Kagami and Roger. Mu, however, was somewhat distant from Roger. This was because he cared more about Hozuki Gengetsu, who was killed by Rayleigh. Although Hozuki Gengetsu died with him, it created a bond between them. They were used to arguing with each other in the Pure Land, but now he couldn't hear 'Little Beard's' nagging voice.
Soon, Otsutsuki Hagoromo disappeared without a trace.
Leaving the three on the deck to face the horizon on both sides of the riverbank and the scattered black shadows gradually appearing in the sky.
These were the Undead Army, numbering in the tens of thousands, densely packed.
"I'll take the left side, how about it?"
Roger, with a face full of smiles, looked at Mu and Uchiha Kagami.
The latter two exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement. They clearly understood that Roger's strength was indeed much stronger than theirs. This was the man who could defeat Madara Uchiha.
The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!
"Ah ha ha ha ha, then let's fight!"
Roger tilted his head back and laughed, then leaped high into the air.
With a heavy 'Bang', he landed on the frozen earth nearly fifty meters away from the Underworld Boat, causing cracks to radiate from the ground beneath him.
Roger's eyes flashed with aura as he scanned the countless undead surging towards him like a tide.
The next moment, he roared out his most common battle cry from when he was alive.
"Come!"
"Leave everything you have behind!"
[Swish----]
His 'Ace' in his hand was first quickly dyed with a smear of black over its blade. Then, crackling black and red lightning began to visibly leap on it.
[Bang!]
He took a step forward with his right foot, and the frozen earth immediately exploded and burst open.
Roger, with terrifying strength condensed in his hand, swung 'Ace' towards the Undead Army.
[Roar--------]
Instantly.
A dazzling purple-red radiance bloomed in this Netherworld heaven and earth.
And in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant blade light that seemed to cleave heaven and earth, rapidly advancing forward.
"Divine Avoidance!!!"
The ice and frost earth within several hundred meters around Roger disintegrated amidst the violent tremors. The originally calm black water in the Underworld River behind him became turbulent with waves.
"..."
Mu and Uchiha Kagami, who were about to take action on the ship, saw such an astonishing scene. Their eyes widened, and their mouths were open, but they couldn't make any sound.
What a powerful man!
"Heh, the World is truly a magical world. To think it can nurture so many experts..."
From high altitude in the distance, Otsutsuki Hagoromo heard the commotion behind him. Turning his head, he looked at the power of Roger's single strike and was filled with emotion. In their Ninja World, only Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju possessed this strength. Looking at the world over there, well, there was simply no comparison.
"This old man should also speed up his operation."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo turned his head and looked towards the location of Belnag Underworld again with his Rinnegan. He was also very curious, just how strong was the opponent, and what kind of magical abilities did she possess?
"Roar!"
"Roar!!"
Not long after, within Otsutsuki Hagoromo's line of sight, Ice Dragons appeared, flapping their huge bone wings, emitting faint blue light and cold air all over their bodies. Their quantity was estimated to be over a hundred. Around them were tens of thousands of White Scale Flying Dragons, though their body size was smaller.
This was Hanty's style. She always liked to overwhelm with a sea of Undead Army. Only after figuring out the opponent's means and wearing down their strength would she personally take action and crush them with a huge advantage.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's eyes flickered, immediately seeing through Hanty's idea.
"To still rely on the so-called military advantage, utterly boring!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo snorted coldly. He extended his right palm forward, and a spherical black ball as dark as ink quickly condensed in his palm.
"What is that?"
Hanty, who was in the air above Black Ice Castle, frowned. But what annoyed her the most was the constant feeling of unease she had since earlier. This feeling, counting from the day she became a goddess, had only occurred during the time Emroy killed the 'Former God of War and Madness' and seized his divine position.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
On the other side, Otsutsuki Hagoromo roared out the name of the black ball. The black ball flew towards an Ice Dragon's probing cold air breath. However, the seemingly surging low temperature cold air had no effect on the black ball and was instead absorbed completely.
This wasn't the end. When the distance between them reached within one kilometer, those Ice Dragons and White Scale Flying Dragons discovered an invisible but extremely overbearing strength. It was binding their dragon bodies and strongly pulling them towards the black ball.
"Roar!!!"
They struggled frantically, their dragon wings on their backs flapping desperately. Especially the Ice Dragons, they began to increase the output of magic power within their bodies, causing the blue light on them to become even brighter. But despite such effort, the distance between them and the Chibaku Tensei was shortening at a visible speed.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
In the blink of an eye, one Ice Dragon after another, along with their 'attendant' White Wing Flying Dragons, were continuously absorbed around the black ball, and squeezed together by the immense gravity. Their dragon bodies began to twist and break, their entire skeletons shattered bone by bone, and they gathered together with greater density.
Soon, the small black ball was no longer visible. In its place was a large white ball completely compressed from the wreckage of the Ice Dragons and White Wing Flying Dragons.
But this did not affect the intensity of the gravity. It was still attracting more targets around it, causing its volume to expand rapidly and continuously.
"This! This! This..."
'God of the Underworld' Hanty was filled with shock. Covering her delicate lips, she stared intently at the 'masterpiece' completed by Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Fortunately, she still had quite a few dragons on her side. A technique of this power, the opponent shouldn't be able to use it many times...
But just as Hanty was thinking this, Otsutsuki Hagoromo smiled and spread his two arms.
One Chibaku Tensei after another condensed in front of him again.
Until their quantity reached nine, Hanty was completely dumbfounded.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo said, "Lord, it's still not too late to surrender now!"
Hanty was startled awake by these words and became even more filled with anger. She considered this an insult and contempt towards her.
"I am a god!!!"
The goddess roared upwards, enraged, and a blue divine power radiance erupted from her body.
The next moment.
The dark clouds overhead in the Netherworld actually churned violently like boiling hot water.
Instantly.
Blue-black light pillars containing massive amounts of ultra-low temperature energy, which even froze the void, creating cracks, broke through the thick cloud layer one after another and descended towards Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"Since that's the case, this old man will no longer be polite."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's gaze became even colder. He first pushed the nine Chibaku Tensei spheres in front of him towards the dragon group. Then he raised his head and looked at the incoming group of light pillars with his Rinnegan.
"If this is all the strength you possess, then Lord, you will certainly be coming with me..."
A pitch-black 'Sage's Staff' appeared in Otsutsuki Hagoromo's hand. Behind him, nine more black balls had appeared at some point. However, unlike the previous Chibaku Tensei, they seemed to have more substance.
[Boom!!!!]
The next second, the first light pillar fell, completely engulfing Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"Is that all?"
"Heh heh heh heh..."
Seeing this scene, Goddess Hanti immediately let out a clear and pleasant, joyful laugh like silver bells. Her laughter was full of disdain and sarcasm.
