Chapter 1185: Nothing Special!
The round of offense from 'Summit Transformation Buddha' ended.
In the northern area of the Ice and Snow Mountain Range.
Aside from a few remaining snow mountains of moderate height at the edges,
it was difficult to find a mountain peak exceeding a hundred meters in height.
Beneath the thick snow cover were only broken rocks and remnants of ice piled up after the collapse.
The scene was one of utter desolation.
A biting storm raged once more, and a bone-chilling cold current howled past.
【Boom!】
Suddenly, the snow layer in a certain spot exploded.
A ball of pale yellow soft light, filled with a warm aura, broke through the ground.
Immediately after, four beautiful figures flew out from below.
They were the four goddesses who had miraculously survived: Erland, La, Milita, and Lunarieu.
However, they were now disheveled and covered in bloodstains.
Their originally gorgeous robes were tattered and torn.
Compared to before, they were several times more pathetic.
Their faces were devoid of arrogance, instead filled with panic and fear.
They didn't even dare to look up at the 'Thousand-Handed Kannon' still seated on the Blue Light Lotus Platform in the air.
"Words of thanks... if there's an opportunity in the future, we will certainly offer them along with a gift of gratitude. For now, let's leave this place!"
The 'Goddess of the Moon', Erland, spoke urgently, almost flying outwards with the 'Goddess of Wind', La, beside her as she spoke.
"Alright."
Milita, who knew how critical the situation was, didn't waste words either.
She and the 'God of Dance and Music', Lunarieu, fled rapidly in another direction.
It turned out that the 'God of Fertility and Nurturing' had used her full strength to erect a protective shield at the moment of crisis.
This was what had barely saved the lives of the four gods and simultaneously treated their injuries.
Although Milita was not skilled in combat, as long as she was stationed in the rear, it would be difficult to cause significant damage to their own side.
However, this was under normal circumstances.
The terror-inducing power and dense offensive of 'Susanoo: Summit Transformation Buddha' meant that even exhausting her full strength, Milita could only barely grasp a sliver of hope.
The four goddesses were completely terrified.
They only prayed that the two individuals above would show mercy and let them go.
However, Madara Uchiha's devilish low whisper suddenly echoed in the ears of the goddesses who had already flown a kilometer away.
"Sage Art: Universal Pull."
His voice was still as cold and ruthless.
This caused the expressions of Erland, La, and the other gods to turn pale, their pupils contracting in fear.
【Buzz————】
Before they could even react.
An invisible strength precisely captured those beautiful bodies.
Simultaneously, a powerful gravity pulled them back towards the sky behind them.
"No!"
"Let go of me!!"
"Ahhhhhh————"
The four pathetic goddesses screamed frantically.
At the same time, they desperately released their divine power, attempting to break free from the restraint of this gravity.
However, Madara Uchiha in Sage Mode was not an existence they could resist.
No matter how the light of various divine powers erupted from the four gods' bodies, it did not slow down the speed at which they were being pulled in the slightest.
"Hashirama, I remember during the Warring States Period, those weaklings seemed to call me 'Shura', right?"
On top of 'Susanoo Thousand Hands'.
Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed, ignoring the four goddesses flying backwards towards him, and turned to look at Hashirama Senju beside him.
"Hmm?"
Hashirama Senju was startled, not understanding why the other party was asking about this.
But he still subconsciously recalled the past events.
"Yes, because you never left prisoners after battles and were too excessive in slaughtering ninjas of various clans. But your strength was too powerful, and there was no method to deal with you."
"Everyone gradually started calling you the Shura of the Ninja World."
Madara Uchiha nodded, not feeling ashamed in the slightest, but instead sneering with a hint of arrogance.
"These guys aren't much in terms of strength, but they're pretty good at giving nicknames."
"Since that's the case, then I, Madara, accept this nickname! Let the 'Ninja World Shura' resonate throughout the Star Sea Myriad Worlds!"
Hashirama Senju heard these words and asked with doubt, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
"Hmph, a certain someone has the 'God of Shinobi', so naturally, they don't need to care!"
Madara Uchiha turned his head and let out a cold snort.
Hashirama Senju immediately scratched the back of his head awkwardly, thinking to himself, "So that's what this is about."
He finally understood what was bothering the other party.
So what should he do? Quickly appease him!
"Ahem, Madara, speaking of epithets."
"The reason I decided to name the Leader of Konoha 'Hokage' back then was actually because I wanted you to be the First Hokage. After all, your Fire Release was unparalleled in the Ninja World at the time."
Madara Uchiha frowned upon hearing this and retorted, "At the time?"
"Are you saying there's a Fire Release ninja stronger than me in the Ninja World now?"
Those chilling gazes looked directly at him.
"Huh? No, no, no!"
This panicked Hashirama Senju, who quickly waved his hand in denial, and then immediately began to explain.
"I meant to say, although you didn't become Konoha's Hokage, you are now the Hokage of the Sea Ninja Village! So I think 'Hokage' suits you better, Madara."
He felt that the word 'Shura' had a very negative connotation.
The two of them chatted back and forth,
completely ignoring the four beautiful goddesses who had flown in front of them and were fixed in mid-air.
Yes, fixed, not floating.
The four gods were now not only unable to move, but they couldn't even make a sound.
This filled the goddesses' eyes with despair and fear.
In fact, Madara Uchiha had applied two opposing forces of 'Repulsion' on them, completely sealing their bodies internally and externally.
In the canon, Uchiha Sasuke was held in place like this.
However, the essence of these gods was spirit body.
"Hmph, 'Hokage' is just a position name for me in the Sea Ninja Village."
"I have decided to accept the nickname 'Ninja World Shura'!"
Madara Uchiha didn't listen to Hashirama Senju's words. In his view, he had to be equal to the other party.
My position as Sea Ninja Hokage is just a job title. To be equal to your 'God of Shinobi', I need 'Ninja World Shura' to be my personal title.
"Alright, alright then." Hashirama Senju could only shake his head in support, sighing inwardly, "Madara is just too competitive; he always has to compare everything with me."
He then turned his gaze to the four goddesses who had been 'waiting for a long time'.
"So what do we do now? Take them back to Alnus?"
Madara Uchiha said coldly, "Didn't you say the Sage of Six Paths would take them? Let's wait."
As soon as his voice fell, a familiar voice appeared.
"It seems this old man arrived a bit late, my apologies."
"I didn't expect you two to defeat the four chief gods so quickly."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo appeared out of thin air, looking at the four goddesses fixed in mid-air with surprise.
Their aura was naturally very weak now.
But this was clearly the state of having just been defeated.
So he was also a bit unclear about the strength of these chief gods.
"Hahahaha, it's alright, Sage of Six Paths. These four gods aren't very strong; they don't possess Admiral Level Combat Power!"
Hashirama Senju put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.
"It's also fortunate that this is the case, otherwise, even if Madara and I team up, we wouldn't be a match for four opponents with Admiral Level Combat Power."
"Hmph, not necessarily. 'Susanoo Thousand Hands' isn't that easy to defeat!"
Madara Uchiha didn't like Hashirama Senju's way of speaking, which diminished his prestige.
He felt that when the two of them teamed up, they had the ability to fight anyone!
"So that's how it is. It seems the strength of the chief gods in this world varies..."
"Admiral Ryokugyu, on the other hand, is facing three genuine opponents with Admiral Level Combat Power."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo took out the Benihisago, collecting the four goddesses Erland, La, Lunarieu, and Milita into it, while muttering to himself.
"What?!"
But Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"What was the result?" the former quickly pressed with questions.
Madara Uchiha desperately wanted to know how that bastard Kaido fared against three opponents with Admiral Level Combat Power.
Defeated? Or dead?
He couldn't possibly win, right!
"Result?"
"Two gods were defeated, one god was taken prisoner, and Admiral Ryokugyu is severely injured and in a coma."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo said the shocking answer with a strange expression.
"What!!!"
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha exclaimed in unison, together.
Their moods suddenly became unusually complex.
They suddenly felt that their victory over four chief gods without Admiral Level Combat Power...
was nothing special.
