ACSP: Chapter 176: This is a Concept-Level Divine Technique!
"How is that possible? That brat actually saw through Captain-General Shimura's ability?"
Asakura stared in disbelief at the scene below, where Shimura Kenta had been slammed into the ground by Jiang Chen's Susanoo arm. His fists tightened, eyes wide with shock.
But soon after—
He slowly relaxed his grip.
A faint, almost mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Heh…"
"So what if he figured it out?"
"Captain-General Shimura's ability doesn't simply affect attacks—it rewrites reality itself."
"As long as he refuses to acknowledge something, it can be negated. It is as if it never happened."
"To a certain extent… it already touches the domain of time reversal."
"That is a true Concept-Level Divine Technique."
"S-rank? Super S-rank?"
"Those things don't even qualify to be mentioned in front of Captain-General Shimura."
His gaze shifted toward Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen… so what if you're a Super-Kage level Contractor?"
"Everything you do is meaningless before that divine technique."
"Because none of it can ever become reality."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Susanoo is indeed troublesome… but a technique like that consumes enormous ocular power. With your current Mangekyō Sharingan, just how many more times can you maintain it?"
As that thought crossed his mind—
A figure slowly reappeared opposite Jiang Chen.
Shimura Kenta.
Unharmed.
Unbroken.
As if the previous destruction had never occurred.
Seeing this, the tension in Asakura's chest finally eased completely.
As expected.
Captain-General Shimura, who possesses a concept-level skill, is invincible!
Meanwhile, Li Yanran and the others were all stunned upon seeing the reappearance of Shimura Kenta.
"What's going on? How did this guy come back to life again?"
"Could it be that those Jiang Chen killed just now were all his clones?"
"Impossible. A Physical Clone would immediately disperse upon being attacked, and his Chakra signature definitely vanished just now..."
"It seems he must have an extraordinary skill on him."
"This is bad. Although Jiang Chen's Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu is powerful, it can't be maintained for long. If this guy remains unkillable, things will get ugly."
Li Yanran and the others watched with burning anxiety, wishing they could go up and help Jiang Chen immediately.
But in the end, they still didn't act rashly.
Because they were all very clear in their hearts.
The current situation was no longer something people of their level could participate in.
Moreover, there were quite a few Dongdao Contractors nearby watching like hawks.
If they were to act now...
...those people certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
At that point, the situation would only become even worse.
...
"My Ocular Power can't sustain Susanoo indefinitely—but what about you?"
Jiang Chen stared at Shimura Kenta coldly, his tone filled with undisguised disdain.
"Can the Sharingan embedded in your body let you use Izanagi without limit?"
He took a step forward.
"Although the skill [Izanagi] looks invincible…"
"…that is only under the premise that the user is strong enough."
"For example, Uchiha Madara."
"One Izanagi exchange was enough for him to force Senju Hashirama into a near-critical state."
"And Uchiha Obito, even at his weakest, still managed to push Kakuzu to the point of burning through all his resources."
"But when this technique fell into the hands of Danzo…"
"…it only resulted in blowing up a bridge."
"And even that outcome cost him ten uses of Izanagi."
Jiang Chen's gaze turned even colder.
"In the end, it all comes down to a certain saying."
"There are no useless Martial Souls in this world—only useless Soul Masters."
"The strength of Izanagi depends entirely on who is using it."
He looked directly at Shimura Kenta.
"And the contract character you rely on… is Danzo Shimura."
"In my eyes…"
"Even if your level has reached ninety-plus…"
"You're still nothing but trash."
His voice dropped slightly.
"To be honest, someone like Danzo doesn't even have many abilities worth mentioning."
"Half-Kage level?"
"That's just a flattering title."
"In reality, he doesn't even reach the level of an Elite Jonin."
"His so-called strength is nothing more than the Sharingan arm he stole—and his dirty, shameless methods to compensate for his weakness."
"In a fair fight, Kakashi could insta-kill him with Lightning Blade."
"It seems you really do know quite a lot about my Izanagi. In that case… I can't afford to let you leave this place alive."
Shimura Kenta stared at Jiang Chen, killing intent fully exposed in his eyes.
If before, he still had the intention of recruiting Jiang Chen for the Empire…
Now, that thought had completely vanished.
Only one thing remained.
Kill him.
The reason was simple.
Izanagi was his ultimate, undefeated trump card.
But this technique had a fatal limitation.
Each activation consumed one Sharingan.
Over the past two years in East Island, he had used every possible method to collect Sharingan from other Contractors.
Even so, the Hashirama arm he possessed could only embed a maximum of ten eyes.
In other words, in a single battle, he could only use Izanagi ten times at most.
If his right eye Mangekyō Sharingan was included, that number rose to eleven.
This weakness had always been known only to Shimura Kenta himself.
To outsiders, Izanagi was an absolutely invincible Concept-Level Divine Technique.
No one should have known its limitation.
And yet—
Jiang Chen knew.
Shimura Kenta had no idea how this information had been exposed.
But one thing was certain.
Since he knew…
Then he must die.
Without another word, Shimura Kenta bit his finger and began forming hand seals.
His movements were unusually slow, almost clumsy—like a Genin just learning ninjutsu for the first time.
Full of openings.
If it were anyone else, knowing that this technique could rewrite reality, they would never dare to act rashly.
But Jiang Chen was different.
He understood Izanagi—and its cost.
The moment he saw Shimura Kenta forming seals…
Jiang Chen moved without hesitation.
Susanoo manifested instantly.
A massive chakra bow formed in its hands.
An arrow of condensed power was drawn back to its limit.
And released.
"—WHOOSH!"
A piercing sonic boom erupted across the battlefield.
The colossal Susanoo arrow tore through the air at unimaginable speed, striking Shimura Kenta before he could complete a single seal.
It was a direct hit.
The arrowhead tore through his body and blasted a large crater into the ruins behind him, shattering earth and stone as a massive cloud of dust filled the air.
Shimura Kenta died again.
But soon, his figure reappeared on the other side. As for the version of Shimura Kenta that had just been pinned to the ground by the Susanoo arrow, he once again vanished completely from everyone's sight.
"It's useless. Captain-General Shimura's conceptual-grade skill isn't something that can be broken so easily. No matter how many times you kill him, he can just ignore reality..." Asakura let out a cold laugh, his disdain for Jiang Chen growing even deeper.
In his eyes, any of Jiang Chen's current attacks were entirely futile, as it was impossible to truly harm Shimura Kenta.
When the other Dongdao Contractors saw Shimura Kenta appear once more without a single scratch, smug smiles broke out on all their faces. Captain-General Shimura truly lived up to his reputation as His Majesty the Emperor's right-hand man.
With this unsolvable conceptual divine technique, even those max-level Super Kage-level Contractors would likely be helpless if they were here—let alone a young Super Kage-level Contractor who hadn't even fully matured yet.
