Chapter 491: Peak vs. Peak
The more impatient the other one became, the calmer Uchiha Dali appeared.
Facing Dark Uchiha Dali's cold questioning, Uchiha Dali smiled slightly.
"Your suggestion isn't bad. But I still think I should consider it a little longer."
"After all, a cool name can greatly boost battle power."
The moment Dark Uchiha Dali heard that, he immediately felt mocked.
His fury surged.
His fists clenched, and his violent energy swelled uncontrollably.
Uchiha Dali instantly sensed the shift in expression—but instead of reacting, he smiled again.
"No need to be so tense."
"Be patient. This is our final battle."
"If you win, you'll become the ruler of this void. If you lose, you'll obediently become a part of my body."
"For something this important, shouldn't we treat it seriously?"
Hearing that, Dark Uchiha Dali suddenly stopped being angry.
Instead—he laughed.
"Heh. I finally understand."
"You're still not fully used to that new body—so you're deliberately stalling, aren't you?"
He deduced it from his own experience.
After absorbing the five Evil Gods' power earlier, his body was unable to immediately withstand the unimaginable surge of energy.
He had needed time—time to digest it, stabilize it.
The sensation from then—only he understood it clearly.
It was like his body was on the verge of exploding from endless power.
Now, Uchiha Dali's behavior could only mean one thing in his eyes:
He was buying time.
And that meant—he hadn't fully adapted yet.
A perfect opening.
The grin on Dark Uchiha Dali's face vanished.
He was just about to strike when—
"So you intend to use that same move on me?"
Uchiha Dali suddenly spoke.
Dark Uchiha Dali froze for a second—then sneered.
"And why not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed the same ultimate devouring technique he had used against the Evil Gods—aimed directly at Uchiha Dali.
—But it failed.
The technique that had effortlessly devoured five Evil Gods—
Now had no effect at all.
The empty feedback stunned Dark Uchiha Dali.
He stared at Uchiha Dali, only to meet a faint, knowing smile.
"I see. No wonder you're so confident."
"You've evolved into a supreme realm—the energy within you is no longer ordinary divine energy. So even I can't absorb you."
"But that's fine."
"If I can't absorb you, I can seal you—or just smash you into dust."
With that, Dark Uchiha Dali struck again.
This time, space twisted violently.
A crushing force spread, enough to tear apart the void itself.
But—
Uchiha Dali remained calm, completely unaffected.
That sight stunned Dark Uchiha Dali again.
His eyes widened.
Full disbelief.
"You… what!?"
"You—!"
His attack hadn't even touched Uchiha Dali.
He was no ordinary being—he was a supreme dark god, strengthened through absorbing five Evil Gods.
Yet he couldn't even land a hit?
Was the difference really that large?
Unwilling to accept it, he attacked again.
Uchiha Dali didn't even blink.
"Pointless. Stop wasting your energy."
Seeing Dark Uchiha Dali panic and grow frantic, Uchiha Dali couldn't help shaking his head.
Dark Uchiha Dali suddenly froze.
"Don't tell me… you're not still adjusting to your body?"
"No—your guess was right. I am adjusting. I haven't fully mastered this power yet."
"Then why—"
Dark Uchiha Dali was completely confused.
If he was still adapting, shouldn't he be weaker?
Then why couldn't he be harmed?
"Looks like the difference between us is bigger than I thought."
Uchiha Dali smiled, amused.
"What difference!? What are you talking about!?"
Dark Uchiha Dali nearly exploded.
The gap between expectation and reality was crushing him.
He was the strongest being in the Demon Realm.
The first to ever become the Ultimate Evil God.
And yet—
A fused Grand Zeno form was untouchable?
Ridiculous!
"Yes. I'm talking about the gap between you and me."
Uchiha Dali continued calmly, provoking him further.
Dark Uchiha Dali's rage exploded.
"You'd better explain yourself—or I'll—!"
"Really?"
Uchiha Dali sighed in disappointment.
"To reach this realm and still act like a child…"
He paused—then nodded slightly.
"No wonder."
"No wonder what!?"
"No wonder you ended up becoming my heart-devil and rejected from my true self. If I were like you, I'd be disappointed too."
Dark Uchiha Dali trembled with fury.
"You—!"
With a roar, he flashed forward, swinging a fist at Uchiha Dali's head—
But the moment the punch connected—
—it passed straight through.
"?"
Dark Uchiha Dali froze.
His fist clearly hit—but there was nothing.
Uchiha Dali stood there—yet wasn't really there.
"Kamui?"
Dark Uchiha Dali narrowed his eyes.
He finally understood.
That was why his previous attacks failed.
It wasn't that Uchiha Dali was overwhelmingly stronger—
He was in an intangible Kamui state.
He existed—and yet didn't.
He had no physical form.
No attack could touch him.
Realizing this, Dark Uchiha Dali suddenly burst into laughter.
"So it's just Kamui."
"I see. Hahaha!"
