Chapter 496: Completely Stop Being Human
Dark Uchiha Dali had completely fallen into Uchiha Dali's trap.
At this moment, he was still doubting himself, tangled over and over in his own mind.
Uchiha Dali, meanwhile, had already begun preparing to receive the other side's energy at any time.
"After all, you're just a part that split off from my true body. Trying to play with me? You're nowhere close."
"Even if you're the ultimate Great Evil God, so what?"
Uchiha Dali held nothing but contempt in his heart.
Just as he was envisioning how he would slowly remake this universe after reclaiming all of Dark Uchiha Dali's power, the Dark Uchiha Dali—who had been sitting in meditation—suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up at once. "I'm done playing!"
"So that means you admit defeat?" Uchiha Dali said with a light laugh.
He remained seated, composed and unhurried.
It looked as if he didn't take his opponent seriously at all—or rather, at this moment, he was completely confident in victory.
And this attitude was exactly what infuriated Dark Uchiha Dali the most.
Because that calm, effortless air was something he himself lacked.
He knew he was impatient and violent, without the slightest tolerance.
If something he wanted didn't happen immediately—like killing Uchiha Dali on the spot and absorbing his energy—he would feel extreme anger.
And that anger would further agitate his emotions, destroy his composure, and drag him into a vicious cycle.
Yet, even knowing the problem, he simply couldn't change.
The more Dark Uchiha Dali thought about it, the more he spiraled, the angrier he became.
Finally, he let out a cold laugh. "I'm not admitting defeat, but I'm done with this little contest of words!"
"If you have any real ability, then come at me!"
This blatant provocation didn't shake Uchiha Dali one bit.
He only looked at Dark Uchiha Dali with a faint, ambiguous smile, neither responding nor taking action.
"Uchiha Dali, don't think I can't do anything to you."
"I'll go destroy the other universes right now. Let's see how long you can stay calm!"
As soon as the words fell, Dark Uchiha Dali disappeared.
Of the twelve universes, the Sixth Universe had been completely absorbed and destroyed by Uchiha Dali, and the Seventh had been erased by the Grand Zeno.
So ten universes remained with life.
Of course, life and civilization were secondary.
The real point was that those ten universes still contained unimaginably vast energy.
Dark Uchiha Dali's little scheme was instantly seen through by Uchiha Dali.
He was planning to go absorb the energy from the remaining universes.
"You've certainly got it all planned out."
"But you think I'll let you?"
Uchiha Dali snorted and transformed into a streak of nine-colored light, disappearing as well.
...
First Universe.
Arriving there, Dark Uchiha Dali didn't say a word before unleashing his Dark God-Level Devouring Refinement Technique upon the entire boundless universe.
This upgraded technique of his was terrifying beyond belief.
Even though the target was an entire universe, to him at this moment it felt as simple as eating or drinking.
The best part was that the universe didn't resist.
So the absorption proceeded extremely smoothly, without any obstacle at all.
In just an instant, Dark Uchiha Dali completely absorbed every bit of energy from the First Universe.
With all of its energy gone, the First Universe immediately collapsed.
In moments, the entire universe became nothingness; all the countless worlds and endless stars vanished.
After devouring everything within this universe, Dark Uchiha Dali instantly gained an immense surge of power.
Although this energy wasn't equal to what he gained from consuming one of the five Great Evil Gods, it was close to one-tenth of that amount.
Most importantly, this energy gave him a tremendous overall boost.
It wasn't a simple addition—it was multiplicative.
Exactly the effect he wanted.
Clenching his fist, feeling the turbulent energy surging through him as it rapidly merged with his original power, Dark Uchiha Dali let a savage grin spread across his face.
It had all happened too quickly.
Though it sounded long, in reality it took only a moment.
At that instant, a figure appeared before him—Uchiha Dali, who had followed him here.
The moment Uchiha Dali arrived, a sweep of his perception revealed that everything had become pure void.
He immediately understood what had happened.
"You… you bastard…"
He looked at Dark Uchiha Dali with serious eyes.
The latter appeared relaxed and unconcerned, smiling. "What? Ready to fight?"
"I've been waiting."
He mimicked Uchiha Dali's earlier calm, spreading his hands and watching him with amusement.
Uchiha Dali, however, showed a rare trace of solemnity.
Everything had been going perfectly.
Under his guidance, the other's body and mind were being purified.
If they had continued, success would have been guaranteed.
But now, it was clear that they had failed.
His malice had ultimately overpowered that faint desire for self-purification.
Now, Dark Uchiha Dali had learned to use new tactics to threaten him.
"You've gotten smarter," Uchiha Dali said casually.
Which implied he hadn't been smart before—instantly angering Dark Uchiha Dali.
But this time, he didn't break into the same hysterics.
He snorted. "You go on talking, Uchiha Dali. Since you won't fight me, I won't waste my time. Goodbye."
He even waved politely before disappearing.
Only when he vanished did Uchiha Dali's expression turn completely grave.
He knew very clearly what was about to happen to the remaining nine universes.
At once, he opened his Observation Domain, locating Dark Uchiha Dali without effort and immediately giving chase.
But it was still too late.
When Uchiha Dali arrived in the Second Universe, he witnessed the complete destruction of the universe—from existence to nothingness.
Every ounce of the universe's energy was brutally ripped away by Dark Uchiha Dali.
After absorbing everything in an instant, Dark Uchiha Dali's aura grew even stronger.
He turned, looked at the arriving Uchiha Dali, and said, "Goodbye."
