Chapter 349: Slaughtered
Boom!
A towering figure appeared, engulfing the rotating particle prison along with Zane, whose eyes were constantly shifting.
[Mangekyo Sharingan - Susanoo]!
Zane's blood-red, spinning triangular eyes shone with a sinister light. He hovered at the heart area of the skeletal tengu's chest, summoned by Susanoo, still revolving.
Because Zane's eyes were only at the initial Mangekyo stage, the tengu around him was only cloaked in a skeletal layer.
Combined with Zane's deathly aura, the tengu appeared as a black skeleton, as large as the nearby giant.
Boom! Boom!!
The attacks from the two giants arrived in an instant.
Yet, as they struck the black skeletal shell, there was no reaction.
In the Naruto world, Susanoo was known as the ultimate defense.
Summoned now by Zane, it blocked the attacks from the seventh-dimensional deities with ease.
"Hmm, Chaos Gods from Japan?"
The Calculator and Analyzer, observing the tengu in the sky, looked puzzled. Their database recorded deities from a similar dimension to Zane's surrounding earth.
"Now, who's the fish, and who's the butcher?"
Zane's eerie gaze fixed coldly on the Calculator and Analyzer below.
With his last word, the tengu beside Zane morphed, forming a massive death scythe cloaked in black flames, swinging furiously down toward the two.
Instantly, the scythe grew enormous, slicing through the entire funhouse mirror's vertical plane, descending toward the ground like a mighty axe.
It split into two shadowy projections, the black-flame-tipped blades aiming straight at the Calculator and Analyzer's hearts.
"Even though we're part of the fourth division of the Celestials… don't underestimate our combat power!"
The two giants below roared, their armor erupting with a surge of energy to shield their bodies, preparing to evade the scythe's attack.
"Is that so?"
A cold voice sounded in their ears.
Suddenly—
Both giants' eyes turned blood-red with rotating triangles.
[Mangekyo Sharingan - Tsukuyomi]!
In a fleeting daze, black flames pierced through their bodies, and with a sudden twist, the two giants shattered into fragments of light, vanishing entirely.
At the same moment, the two brothers controlling the experiment high in the sky released two immense energy waves from their hands. When they collided, the energy surged, rolling down like a thunderstorm toward Zane's tengu.
"Now, it's your turn!"
After killing the Calculator and Analyzer, Zane's movements gradually resumed, likely due to the loss of immediate data feed, making the particle manipulation less effective.
Swish! Swish!
Zane hovered silently within the rotating particle prison, commanding the tengu to suddenly spread its thick skeletal arms and grasp the two giants on either side.
The giants struggled for a moment, but within a second, red light appeared in their eyes.
Without realizing, a mysterious orange-red aura enveloped them, though it failed to protect them from being crushed by the black skeleton tengu.
Strands of deathly energy swarmed like ravenous piranhas, devouring the remnants of the giants' bodies.
With that, Zane single-handedly annihilated the fourth strongest battle group of the deities.
As Zane prepared to collect the spoils—five divine cores—suddenly, the cores surged towards a single point in the void.
"Did I miscalculate the spacetime coordinates?"
A foreign voice suddenly echoed.
After intense battles, the vast, seemingly endless funhouse mirror world began to shrink rapidly.
Zane stood in the center, able to see the glass-like boundaries melting away and dissipating on all sides.
Then, chaotic streams of space-time surged in, like muddy, turbulent waters, filling the vacated space with a cacophony of roars.
After defeating the last two giant brothers of the fourth battle squad from the deities, the Magnetic Particle Cage trapping Zane vanished instantly.
Zane then released the massive tengu skeleton of Susanoo.
He hadn't expected that after his battle with Arishem, using the Mangekyo Sharingan from the Naruto world, this ability would prove so useful. Against the Celestial squad, which consisted of soulless energy forms, it was an unmatched force.
While his battle with the Destruction Celestial and Arishem, the Judge of the Celestials, was a challenging "one-on-one-seven" level feat, his encounter with these five giants from the fourth squad was a crushing victory.
Even in a one-versus-five scenario, despite these five being on a similar dimensional level as Zane, they were still reduced to fuel, absorbed to strengthen him.
This allowed Zane to finally advance from mid-tier to high-tier within the seventh dimension.
Breaking through a small level with the energy of five top fighters from the Celestial squad was a relatively easy achievement for Zane.
The level-up didn't bring any noticeable changes to him, so he focused his attention on the cores that had been ignored during the intense battle. Fortunately, no one had taken the chance to snatch them.
But then, the five perfect, translucent deific cores suddenly all floated away into the distance.
Moments later, a towering figure clad in a ten-meter-high orange-red armor appeared, radiating an indescribable, ethereal presence.
Calmly, he strode out of the chaotic space-time currents as if completely unharmed.
Then, with an outstretched hand, he grasped the five deific cores floating before him.
The cores merged into his body and vanished.
He muttered to himself, "I miscalculated the coordinates and arrived a bit late. But fortunately, the weapon is complete."
"Hmm, another Celestial from the group? But why so small? Although he's still taller than me."
Zane knew that after reaching the seventh dimension, one could adjust their size freely by communicating with the quantum field.
Yet seeing this armored figure, initially only a little over ten meters tall, much smaller than the previous deity squad, surprised him.
"So small, it must help concentrate energy and reduce unnecessary waste."
"Of course, under normal circumstances, the optimal approach would be to choose your true size. Constant resizing strains the body."
The mysterious, ethereal orange-red armored figure looked into Zane's eyes and seemed to read his inner thoughts instantly, then spoke indifferently:
"You must be that Earthling, Zane Sy? And it was you who killed my him, wasn't it?"
"Arishem told me everything about you."
"I doubt he expected you would willingly come and challenge him... though because of that, I missed my best opportunity."
"But knowing that you come from Earth does stir many memories for me…"
"Years ago, after my battle with the Watcher, I was exiled to Earth for creating and wielding the Infinity Gauntlet, sealing myself on a satellite orbiting Earth."
"A second moon, besides the usual one?"
Zane recalled his studies on Marvel Earth when he heard this.
