When Uchiha Shi's words fell, the two people present immediately raised their heads in shock.
"W-What, what did you say?!"
Fugaku's pupils dilated as he looked at Uchiha Shi with a mix of shock and fear, asking in disbelief:
"You want me to... kill you?"
"You want me to... commit suicide?"
Fugaku clenched his teeth and roared in anger:
"What kind of joke is this! Uchiha Shi, have you gone mad?!"
Even Tōgō Hayato couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
Did he hear wrong? This kid actually wants Fugaku to immediately stab his heart?
The result of this would only be that both Fugaku and he would die here!
Indeed, Tōgō Hayato did want Fugaku to stab his heart and kill this Uchiha brat, and to eliminate any variables, he was even willing to destroy this Ceremony.
But he hadn't even spoken or made a move yet?!
How did this Uchiha brat predict his actions in advance, and even come forward to seek death?
What is this? Does he think he's dying too slowly?
For a moment, all sorts of chaotic thoughts flooded Tōgō Hayato's mind, and even if his CPU burned out, he couldn't figure out what this Uchiha brat was up to.
Shouldn't he be trying to resist and escape with Fugaku?
Tōgō Hayato looked stunned, not understanding what was going on.
However, at this moment, Uchiha Shi raised his head, looked at Fugaku, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but in less than half a second, he made a decisive choice.
Uchiha Shi immediately spoke in a cold voice:
"Fugaku, haven't you seen it yet?"
"The true purpose of this Ceremony, the sacrifice of this Ceremony, and how far this Ceremony will go!"
He raised his hand and pointed at Tōgō Hayato, shouting fiercely:
"This beast has already sacrificed over a thousand people; he is a complete madman."
"But he still hasn't gotten what he wanted."
"And you, Fugaku, are special; you have the physique he covets."
"This guy captured you to control you!"
"To make you kill all the people you care about with your own hands, to make your pain reach the extreme!"
"Then, to offer this suffering to the Evil God, to please the Evil God, and to turn you into a Human Weapon, to get what he wants from you!"
"Fugaku, you're not stupid; you should have seen it by now!"
Fugaku's lips trembled as he looked at Uchiha Shi, his body staggered, and he fell to his knees.
Then, he cried out in anguish, his face filled with fear, and asked:
"Yes, I have seen it!"
"But what does that have to do with what you said?"
"What the hell does it have to do with what you said?!"
"Why, why do you have to make me kill you?"
"Didn't you want to conquer the Five Great Nations, to unify the Ninja World?"
Fugaku gritted his teeth and shouted angrily:
"Are you going to give up here?"
Uchiha Shi shook his head, his expression heavy, and sighed mournfully:
"Because I can't stop him, and I can't protect you."
"I have no Chakra left, and my body has reached its limit."
Uchiha Shi raised his head, his eyes struggling:
"But there is still something we can do, and that is to stop this evil Ceremony."
"If I'm not mistaken, if you kill me and stab your own heart now, we will really die."
"He won't get what he wants."
"And you won't have to bear the pain of killing your loved ones with your own hands."
Uchiha Shi closed his eyes in pain and sighed:
"Fugaku, this is the best outcome."
"You... you..."
Fugaku's mind felt as if it had been struck by a heavy shovel, his head spinning.
He staggered back two steps, looking at Uchiha Shi in disbelief, his pupils gradually dilating, standing there in a daze, completely unable to believe that these words had come from Uchiha Shi.
This Uchiha, who was always so confident and even arrogant, more so than Fugaku himself, was actually going to surrender and wait for death?
In an instant, the pain of shattered beliefs, the shock of betrayal, and the rage of powerlessness, all these extreme emotions surged in Fugaku's heart, making him feel a chill all over, as if he were in an ice cellar.
At the same time, Uchiha Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, took a deep breath, and a tingling sensation spread through his limbs as Chakra surged.
A large amount of dark Chakra suddenly burst from his abdomen.
"Chirp chirp~!"
The small Zero-Tailed Beast inside him was excited, wagging its tail and howling, sucking in the dark emotions surging from Fugaku's heart.
It seemed like a fan, constantly drawing out the darkness from people's hearts, endlessly producing dark Chakra.
Filling Uchiha Shi's body, which was leaking in all directions.
Uchiha Shi felt the amount of Chakra inside him, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he felt that if he used this Chakra now, he could instantly gain the strength to shatter rocks with his bare hands!
But it wasn't enough, not enough to sustain the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration.
The opponent was the High Priest of the Evil God sect, and based on the information gathered by Aoi, the opponent was likely a Jōnin-level powerhouse from the Hot Water Village.
Moreover, the opponent had already experienced a terrifying sacrifice of a thousand people, and might have already obtained the special physique of the Evil God sect, the 'Immortal Body'.
With the combat ability of a Jōnin and the 'Immortal Body' that is almost impossible to kill, the opponent had already glimpsed the threshold of a 'Kage'.
To defeat the opponent, he must be prepared to die at any moment.
He had to deceive both the enemy and his teammate!
He had to risk everything, dancing on the edge of the blade!
He couldn't afford to make a single mistake!
And upon hearing Uchiha Shi's words, Tōgō Hayato's eyes immediately turned cold, he had wondered why this heavily injured, almost crippled brat suddenly perked up.
It turned out this little monster had this idea in mind!
He had almost been scared into making Fugaku stab the other to death.
"Brat, your idea isn't bad."
Tōgō Hayato immediately changed his mind, sneering, and suddenly raised his hand, the Chakra threads between his fingers tightening.
He stared coldly at Uchiha Shi and said with a sinister expression:
"But are you ignoring me?"
Fugaku, kneeling on the ground, immediately felt his body move involuntarily, he reached out and pulled out the spear, got up, and then raised the spear, stabbing down forcefully!
Thud!
The black spear pierced Fugaku's thigh!
In the next moment, three blood holes appeared simultaneously!
"Aaaaaah!" Fugaku clutched his thigh, his face contorted in agony, and let out a loud, anguished scream.
"Ugh... Ha!" Even Uchiha Shi couldn't help but wrinkle his brow, his right leg giving out, and he collapsed into the pool of blood.
"Hahahahahaha!"
With the same blood hole in his thigh, Tōgō Hayato laughed maniacally.
The blood hole on his leg healed at a visible speed.
"See that, Fugaku? This is the power of the Evil God!"
"This is the Immortal Body!"
He suddenly waved his hand, pointing at Uchiha Shi, and mocked Fugaku with disdain:
"The brat you believed in is just a puppet in such power!"
"Look at him, what can he do?"
"He can't even stand up!"
"Would you abandon your faith in the great Evil God for such a useless person?"
Tōgō Hayato's expression turned cold, and he took a large step forward, as he walked, the wounds on his leg and abdomen, which had just healed, tore open again, and blood gushed out.
But he didn't care about the pain at all, instead, he looked pleased.
He grabbed Fugaku and dragged him to Uchiha Shi's face.
"Come, open your eyes and look carefully!"
Tōgō Hayato grabbed Fugaku's head, forcing him to look up, his face trembling as he looked at Uchiha Shi, who was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, and in pain.
"This is reality, cold, harsh reality, a reality where you are powerless!"
"Born in this country, your only way out is to believe in the hidden deities of this land!"
"Use extreme pain to gain the ultimate power!"
Tōgō Hayato leaned close to Fugaku's ear and cackled:
"Now, you still have a chance, to give up all your illusions!"
"Cooperate with me, complete this Ceremony!"
Saying that, he threw Fugaku to the ground, pulled out the spear from his leg, and threw it to his side, opening his mouth with extreme pleasure:
"Come, make your choice!"
Fugaku stared blankly at the black spear thrown to his side, then looked up at Uchiha Shi, who was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath helplessly.
At this moment, the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart, his hands trembled as he hugged his head, his body shaking uncontrollably, his mind buzzing.
The pale patterns on his body twisted and climbed in extreme pain, about to form a complete loop.
"Aaaaaah!"
Under this extreme pressure, Fugaku collapsed, clutching his head and screaming in agony.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shi's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his teeth.
Just a little more, wait for the Zero-Tailed Beast to provide enough Chakra, and he would have a complete chance to win this battle.
But if he let the other side continue to torture, Fugaku might go completely insane.
He took a deep breath, no longer waiting for the Zero-Tailed Beast to continue to fuse with the dark Chakra.
He suddenly reached out and pressed his hand to his abdomen!
A pattern resembling Ouroboros appeared on his abdomen, circling his palm once.
As if unlocking a sealed door.
In the next moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and a strong wind rushed in all directions!
A dense dark light cocoon rose.
Tōgō Hayato was suddenly startled and turned his head sharply.
Then, he saw—
a youth with intense Chakra fluctuations tearing through the light cocoon, standing up from the darkness, surrounded by black wind, his eyes glowing with a pair of blood-red pupils!
Then, the blood holes in the youth's waist and thigh were quickly filled with flesh, repaired, and grew skin.
Completely unharmed!
Tōgō Hayato's eyes widened in shock, and the smile on his face froze.
What is this?
And the youth suddenly raised his head, his eyes shooting out two beams of blood-red light, laughing madly and shouting fiercely:
"What the hell is your so-called Evil God!"
"That broken wall thing, do you even deserve to be called an Immortal Body?!"
"Watch this!"
"This, is the real Immortal Body!"
There's one more chapter, it will be a bit late, as there are really too many things to do during the New Year, please bear with me.
