The Sage of Six Paths remained unmoved, his expression as cold as ice. He slowly raised his right hand. "Almighty Push!" A terrifying repulsive force, enough to easily move the moon, erupted from him. Kagami's huge Susanoo was sent flying backward.
But Kagami only sneered. "This little bit of power is far from enough." His Mangekyo Sharingan began to spin again, and a special power emanated from his Susanoo. Its armor faded away, and the muscles on its back expanded, condensing into a pattern like a demon's face—the Demon Back. With this new power, the Susanoo's attributes were greatly improved. It resisted the repulsive force and rushed toward the Sage again.
"How is this possible?" the Sage said in disbelief. He now held the authority of the entire ninja world; his power had reached an unprecedented level. There should be no one who could stand against him. Yet, Kagami had withstood his power.
The Sage quickly recovered. "It seems I still underestimated you," he said, raising his right hand again and quickly forming a seal. Huge black spheres, Truth-Seeking Orbs, condensed behind him, tens of thousands of them, each comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb and containing the terrifying power of the Six Paths. He waved his hand, and countless orbs shot toward Kagami. Even if Kagami could block them, the Sage, having integrated the authority of the ninja world, had an endless supply of energy.
Kagami frowned. Though extremely powerful, he might be in trouble if hit by these orbs. The Six Paths power they contained could destroy all matter and life force and could only be offset by the same power. But instead of wasting his energy, he had a better solution.
"So close, yet so far," he shouted softly, activating the ability of his Rinnegan. The whistling orbs all stopped a few meters in front of him, unable to move forward. They collided with each other, causing a huge explosion that turned the area within hundreds of kilometers into boiling lava. But Kagami stood there quietly, not even his clothes burned.
"Damn, why is this guy so difficult to deal with?" the Sage's expression became extremely ugly. He had thought he could easily kill Kagami, but now it seemed he had been overthinking it.
As the Sage felt a little flustered, Kagami slowly raised his right hand. "It's time to end this," he said faintly. "Dragon Scales, Backlash, Twin Meteors!" A huge black crack appeared in front of the Sage, and a slash that seemed to transcend time and space burst out, instantly cutting him in two.
This was Kagami's space-time slash, integrated with his soul power, capable of directly damaging the enemy's soul. An ordinary person would have their soul destroyed. Even the Sage of Six Paths should not have survived.
But something unexpected happened. Countless black energies connected the two parts of the Sage's body, and he forcibly healed himself. Kagami's pupils shrank. The Sage, having integrated the power of the ninja world, was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
The Sage looked down at the wound on his body and sneered. "Boy, your attack is indeed very powerful. If I hadn't merged with the authority of the ninja world, that blow would have been enough to kill me. But now, the power of the entire ninja world is at my disposal. I am immortal and indestructible! You can't kill me at all! Ahahahahahaha!"
"Immortality?" Kagami chuckled softly, his eyes becoming excited. "Looks like things are getting interesting." He didn't believe anything was truly immortal. If he destroyed the ninja world itself, he doubted the Sage could survive. And even if he was truly immortal, Mahoraga, with its ability to adapt to and analyze everything, could break the Sage's immortality.
"Mahoraga, start analyzing," he commanded as he controlled his Susanoo to rush toward the Sage once more.
