From the back of the neck to the spine, a tingling sensation surged up like an electric shock.
Zero-Tailed Beast slithered through the wound, diving into Uchiha Shi's body, rapidly sliding down along the spine, resembling a giant dragon.
In an instant, it had sunk into the abdomen, transforming into a pool of pure dark Chakra, and suddenly merging with this body!
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
The heart pounded, and the blood boiled for a moment!
The amount of Chakra that the little Zero-Tailed Beast carried was not much, roughly equivalent to the Chakra of a regular genin, flowing through the body, rekindling the spark of life in this withered form.
A sudden enlightenment filled Uchiha Shi's mind, gradually understanding the purpose of the Zero-Tailed Beast.
After becoming the host of the Zero-Tailed Beast, he gained two abilities.
They were [Dark Chakra Extraction (A)] and [Dark Awakening (A)].
These abilities were not complicated, Dark Chakra Extraction, which could gather the darkness from the hearts of those around him, including his own, and condense it into dark Chakra.
The deeper the darkness in one's heart, the more dark Chakra could be extracted.
Dark Awakening, which involved infusing the extracted Chakra into the body, achieving a state similar to when a Jinchūriki uses the Tailed Beast Cloak.
However, once this ability was used, while gaining the use of dark Chakra, one would also lose their reason, becoming arrogant and exposing the darkest aspects of their heart!
In simple terms, it was a weaker version of the Tailed Beast Cloak.
It lacked the armor, the Tailed Beast Chakra form, and all the flashy techniques like the Tailed Beast Ball.
It was a power that commoners created to emulate the strength of the Tailed Beasts, willing to accept the debuff of losing intelligence in exchange for Chakra.

At this moment, in the hall, before the Cross, Fugaku raised the Black Spear, aiming at the abdomen, and slowly thrust it downward.
Beside him, the High Priest of the Evil God, Tōgō Hayato, his eyes filled with madness, his mouth curled up, he spread his arms as if embracing pain, his eyes glowing with a sickening fervor!
Then, in extreme excitement and enthusiasm, he chanted loudly:
"Exactly so!"
"Exactly so!"
"God loves all, and thus shares their suffering!"
His eyes bulged, his mouth nearly reaching his ears:
"God says:"
"All who are born into this world are rooted in foolishness, arrogance, and blindness!"
"From this moment on, the three of us will link our souls, becoming one in body and mind!"
"Pierce, torment, hate! Destroy others, destroy yourself!"
"Abandon the prejudices and arrogance of the world,"
"Embrace the embrace of the deity!"
"Believe in Him! Love Him! Hate Him!"
"This twisted love—"
"Will be harder to shake than knowledge, harder to change than respect, and more enduring than hatred!"
Amidst his loud, fervent chanting, Fugaku's hands trembled, the muscles in his jaw twitching, his eyes filled with fear and terror as he looked at Uchiha Shi, his mind unable to fathom that Tōgō Hayato would control him to kill the person he was willing to protect at all costs!
"No, no!"
"Uchiha Shi!!!"
Fugaku's voice carried a sob, helplessly roaring:
"Open your eyes! Please, open your eyes, I, I'm about to kill you!"
As this cry fell, Tōgō Hayato's laughter grew even more deranged behind Fugaku, Fugaku's screams sounding like divine music to his ears, bringing him a sense of pleasure, his brain secreting more dopamine, masking the extreme pain beneath his deranged smile.
The spear slowly descended, tearing through the clothes, piercing the skin, blood beads appearing!
However, at this moment, the Uchiha Shi bound to the Cross suddenly erupted with a wave of evil and cold energy!
He abruptly opened his eyes, filled with madness, his scarlet pupils glaring!
Two black tomoe spun, his mouth curling into a mad grin.
Then, Uchiha Shi suddenly tilted his head back and laughed maniacally:
"Hehehe, hahaha, ahhahahahahahahaha~!"
His laughter was filled with mockery!
He suddenly narrowed his eyes, glaring at the High Priest of the Evil God behind Fugaku, laughing and taunting:
"Do you think you can kill me?"
"You, a piece of trash, a waste, a worm-like creature, do you even deserve to kill me?!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Clearly bound to the altar, clearly a fish on the chopping block, clearly powerless!
Yet, he was laughing maniacally!
This scene instantly stunned both Tōgō Hayato and Fugaku.
Tōgō Hayato's deranged smile suddenly froze, his brow twitching, thinking, damn it, God! I've never seen an Uchiha laugh maniacally while being sacrificed on the altar.
However, as the High Priest of the Evil God, he had seen people in their last moments go berserk.
Although this one was indeed extremely extreme.
Quickly, Tōgō Hayato regained his composure, his eyes narrowing, and he was about to control Fugaku to give this kid a spear first!
However, the cold and twisted Uchiha Shi was a step ahead, immediately barking at Fugaku:
"Fugaku, listen to me, thrust it in!"
Fugaku blinked, his face filled with shock, thinking, what are you doing, brother?
If I thrust this spear in, I'll be the one in excruciating pain first!
However, based on his trust in Uchiha Shi, he gritted his teeth, giving up his resistance to Tōgō Hayato's control, and immediately thrust the spear down!
The spear pierced into his own abdomen!
In the next moment, three blood holes appeared.
"Hiss, hiss"
Fugaku panted heavily, his eyes widening in pain.
Uchiha Shi paid no attention to the blood holes in his abdomen, immediately lifting his cold, scarlet eyes to look at Tōgō Hayato.
At this moment, a blood hole also appeared in Tōgō Hayato's abdomen!
Seeing this, Uchiha Shi's face showed a mocking smile, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood:
"Cough, cough! Blech!"
The blood trickled down his mouth, dripping into the blood pool.
The intense pain did not change Uchiha Shi's expression at all; he just lifted his head and laughed maniacally again:
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"So, so, it turns out—"
"This was your plan!"
His laughter was layered, starting from a low, mocking laugh, to a loud, clear laugh, and finally to a laugh that almost made him gasp for breath, tears almost streaming down his face.
In the next moment, he lifted his eyes, showing a sinister smile to Tōgō Hayato, sneering:
"Under these eyes—"
"I have completely seen through you!"
"You piece of trash!"
A surge of anger, born from the depths of his heart, a despair at the absurdity of this world, suddenly climbed up from Uchiha Shi's innermost being.
It turned into a raging flame, into a thick, dark Chakra!
It turned into the justice to rewrite tragedy!
It turned into power!
Boom!
Chakra erupted, breaking the ropes, flying out the nails, shattering the chains!
Tōgō Hayato didn't understand what was happening, why the kid bound to the altar suddenly burst with power?
Where did he get the strength?
What did he see through?
What did he want to do?
He didn't know, completely didn't know.
Only a sense of shock, a sudden disruption of his original plan!
A sudden change that shattered everything he had!
And what he wanted to curse was precisely this change.
To bring the world to silence, to eliminate all variables in the world!
This was his motivation, the driving force behind opening his bloodshot eyes countless times at night to study evil techniques!
It was his lifelong wish!
Thus, Tōgō Hayato's eyes narrowed, increasing his Chakra, and continued to control Fugaku.
He wanted Fugaku to immediately pierce his own heart!
The pain offered to the evil god was not enough, Fugaku might die, the ceremony might fail, but it didn't matter, a sacrifice could be found again, a ceremony could be held again, but this change, he had to crush it on the spot!
He wanted to use the Cursed Technique: Death Blood Invocation to pierce this kid's heart and kill Uchiha Shi!
[High Priest of the Evil God, Tōgō Hayato, has extreme murderous intent towards you!]
However, Uchiha Shi, who had been staring at the other with his blood-red eyes, also saw the murderous intent in the other's eyes.
At this moment, he sneered, and immediately laughed out loud, mocking:
"I said, under these eyes, I have completely seen through you!"
"Want to play tough, do you?"
"Then come on!"
Uchiha Shi immediately turned his head, barking at Fugaku:
"Fugaku, kill me!"
"Pierce the heart, kill me!"
"Now, immediately—"
"Kill me!!!"
