Chapter 415 - Strength Never Lies in the Ability Itself, But in the Person Using It

"Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb!"

After a brief standoff, Kaguya decisively unleashed one of her most potent powers. Known as an ability capable of sealing all things in creation, annihilating all matter, reducing the world to nothingness, and even serving as the starting point for a new space, its appearance immediately blotted out the sky. It acted like a black hole, devouring everything in its vicinity.

In this Super-Gravity Dimension, movement was agonizingly difficult. Escaping the radius of effect through high-speed movement, as one would in a normal gravity environment, was virtually impossible.

"Hahahahaha! You're dead! Tremble before Mother's power!" Black Zetsu poked half his head out from Kaguya's sleeve, laughing with reckless abandon.

In his eyes, no one in this world could withstand the power of the Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb! Even those rebellious sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, would have no choice but to wait for death if they were enveloped by this black-hole-like entity.

"Dead? I don't think so!"

With an excruciatingly slow motion, Allen drew his bow once more. He drew the black aura and two white auras floating around him into the arrow, simultaneously channeling chakra to coat the entire projectile in an opaque, pitch-black layer.

Not just the arrow, even the limbs and string of the bow were completely encased in this ultimate creation of Yin-Yang Release!

Just as the Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb was about to swallow him whole, the fingers gripping the bowstring finally let go. At that exact moment, Allen finally activated the ability of his other eye, awakened alongside his Mangekyō Sharingan.

That ability was to drastically amplify the destructive power of his weapons! Specifically, it targeted the destructive force of his arrows!

Under the crushing shackles of gravity, the opaque arrow still streaked forward with unbelievable velocity. The instant it plunged into the heart of the black-hole-like Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb, it unleashed energy that bordered on the cataclysmic.

Before Kaguya could even process what was happening, blinding pinpoints of light erupted from within the black sphere. Then... white light completely scoured the dimension!

BOOM!

Accompanied by a deafening roar and violent tremors, the Super-Gravity Dimension was torn asunder. It didn't stop there, the surrounding dimensions of Fire, Ice, Desert, and Acid all collapsed and disintegrated under the force of this single strike.

Everyone who had been forcibly transported, including Obito, was returned to the real world.

"What happened?" Obito asked, surveying the surroundings in surprise.

"Nothing much. I just broke the spaces that woman created. That's all," Allen replied nonchalantly, lightly plucking the black bowstring.

"The... Amenominaka and the Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb were broken? How is that possible!" Black Zetsu's voice was thick with fury and disbelief.

Not just him, even Kaguya was too stunned for words. Although ninety percent of the most vital medium within the Ten-Tails had been stolen, causing her chakra recovery to lag, she hadn't held back in the slightest when deploying Amenominaka and the Expansive Truth-Seeker Orb.

That final arrow, which seemed capable of shredding both heaven and earth, was a level of power few humans could ever hope to attain. Even within the main Otsutsuki house, those with this level of strength were few and far between.

"Nothing is impossible. No matter how great the power or ability, it can never be truly perfect. And if it isn't perfect, it can be destroyed. True strength never lies in the power or ability itself, but in the person using it. Though you command one-third to half of this planet's chakra, surpassing me dozens of times over in sheer volume, the user is simply too weak."

As he spoke, Allen locked onto Kaguya again, his eyes radiating raw, unmasked murderous intent.

"Must you kill me? Could we not join forces and rule this planet together?" Kaguya proposed, carefully maintaining a safe distance.

Clearly, she was finally starting to feel fear. Unlike her two sons who only wished to seal her, Allen truly intended to slaughter her, and he hadn't hidden that intent for a second. Despite having lived for thousands of years, Kaguya had no desire to die; if she did, she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of creating a thing like Black Zetsu to help her escape her seal.

"Join forces? Joining because you can't win? Sorry, that runs entirely contrary to my intentions," Allen refused with a meaningful look.

As he had expected, Kaguya was not a true warrior. She lacked the resolve, the combat experience, and the strategic awareness of the truly powerful. Throughout her history, original timeline included, she never fought an opponent of her own caliber; she simply bullied those weaker than her, yet somehow managed to lose in the end.

Now, sensing the tide turning against her, her first instinct wasn't to leverage her advantages, but to seek reconciliation or an alliance. After all, Kaguya's past actions were a betrayal of her own clan; she had always been secretly on guard, even planning to raise an army to resist them.

"Intentions?" Kaguya frowned instinctively.

"That's right. I said from the start: I'm going to kill you and take everything you have. Did you think I was joking? No! Those were my heartfelt words. So, be a good girl and prepare to die!" Allen's lips curled into a mocking smirk.

The moment the words left his mouth, he once again absorbed the white and black auras into an arrow.

"Not good! Mother, get away!"

Black Zetsu shouted a warning while rapidly transforming himself into a solid shield. Since his body was composed of a substance similar to a Truth-Seeker Orb, he possessed extremely durable properties. Even if he couldn't completely block the arrow, he could at least dampen its force.

Unfortunately, he forgot that Allen wasn't alone.

In the next second, Obito instantly activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, sucking Black Zetsu directly into the Kamui dimension.

"NOOOO!"

With a heart-wrenching scream, Black Zetsu was once again forcibly separated from his mother. Obito dove into the Kamui dimension right after him, intending to settle the score with his final enemy.

Seeing the nuisance removed, Allen became even more reckless, using his mediums to drain the surrounding natural energy and funneling it all into the arrow as chakra.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

"All-Killing Ash Bones!"

Knowing she was locked onto and couldn't outrun the pursuing arrow no matter where she fled, Kaguya charged forward, attempting to disrupt his shot at close range.

Regrettably, just as she reached him, Allen released the string.

BOOM!

Because the distance between them was so small, the terrifying force of the impact not only devastated Kaguya but also caught Allen in the blast. When the explosion subsided, both their bodies showed signs of severe damage.

Kaguya, having taken the brunt of the arrow, had over half her body torn apart; the regeneration of muscle and bone was visible to the naked eye. On the other side, a large portion of Allen's cheek and neck was gone, exposing raw red muscle and white bone.

Had it not been for the protection of his red dragon armor, he would be in no better shape than her.
