Naruto's eyes blazed with anger.
"Madara, you bastard!"
Madara remained calm, an indifferent smile on his face.
"I think only I am suited for the Six Paths power, Naruto."
Naruto prepared to strike, but Sasuke's hand stopped him.
"Now isn't the time to act on impulse, Naruto," Sasuke said, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Madara. "We still have to handle Ashveil together with him."
Madara's lips curved into a slight smile.
As expected, Sasuke was clever. He truly didn't understand why such a powerful force like the Six Paths power would come to Naruto.
"Your suggestion is wise, Sasuke," Madara said with a nod.
Naruto opened his mouth to argue further, but Sasuke pulled him back.
"Focus, Naruto. We attack together; even Ashveil won't withstand our combined might!"
Ashveil watched this exchange with mild amusement, glancing at Madara's confident posture. He probably didn't realize Black Zetsu was preparing to betray him.
Then, Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara simultaneously unleashed their strongest techniques, blasting them at Ashveil.
Ashveil simply snapped his fingers, opening a Room in an instant.
Might Guy, lying severely injured on the ground, stared in shock.
"Isn't this… a healing technique?" he whispered. "It can be used for attack?"
A foreboding feeling gripped him as the Room manipulated Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara's attacks.
In an instant, their abilities were redirected back at them, including Tremor Flash and Ashveil's Golden Conqueror's Haki!
Rumble!
The resulting explosion shook the sky, the shockwave forcing even Might Guy and other survivors to collapse again. Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara were hurled to three separate locations, their movements hindered by lingering tremors.
Meanwhile, Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki reached a new peak, growing stronger with every second.
"Not bad… defeating three Six Paths-level opponents at once seems to yield the highest reward," he thought, satisfaction curling his lips. The system boost surged as he awaited the space-time pendulum's arrival.
At that moment, Black Zetsu made his move.
When Madara was vulnerable, a Black Tiger Steals Heart technique struck him.
Madara's face twisted in shock.
"Black Zetsu, why betray me?" he shouted. "Ashveil's Ninjutsu caused this?"
Ashveil smirked faintly.
"You've been too foolish, Madara. From start to finish, Black Zetsu used you just as you used Obito," he said, revealing the truth.
Under Black Zetsu's influence, Kaguya appeared.
"What?!" Naruto and Sasuke exclaimed in unison, stunned.
They hadn't expected the progenitor of Chakra to appear. Kaguya and Ashveil were both beyond human power—who should they strike first?
Before they could decide, the space-time pendulum emerged, unleashing massive energy across the battlefield.
Crackling arcs of raw power engulfed everything. Even Kaguya, the progenitor of Chakra, struggled to maintain her stance in the chaotic energy.
"This is unbelievable…" she murmured. "Could the God of Otsutsuki himself have arrived?"
The extreme energy seemed poised to tear the world apart, reaching toward another dimension.
Naruto and Sasuke could barely move, pinned by the force. Only Ashveil remained unfazed.
"The space-time pendulum wants to kill Kaguya… if that happens, my experience gain will be interrupted," he mused. "Perhaps I should use the Ope-Ope no Mi to save her later."
Ashveil had expected Kaguya would be unable to withstand such pressure, but the moment his Room opened, she vanished from her position.
"Space Power?!" Ashveil's eyes gleamed with interest as he seized the opportunity to follow. Crossing into Kaguya's created space, he felt the immense pressure firsthand. Yet his Conqueror's Haki rendered it insignificant.
"Now, while I have the chance, I'll defeat you, Kaguya!" he said, preparing to strike.
Kaguya's eyes narrowed in disdain. She was the progenitor of Chakra, unmatched by any ordinary opponent.
"All-Killing Ash Bones!" she roared, sending a barrage toward Ashveil.
But in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind her, moving with effortless precision.
"Space ability like mine?" Kaguya gasped.
Ashveil's lips curved in a faint smile.
"This isn't Space Ninjutsu. This is the Overlord Domain."
Kaguya had never heard of such a technique.
Ashveil condensed immense Conqueror's Haki into a golden sphere, compressing the gathered energy of space. The sphere radiated an overwhelming golden light and carried terrifying suction power.
Kaguya's space began collapsing under the pull.
"You… how can you generate such suction?" she demanded, fear flickering in her eyes.
Even the progenitor of Chakra found herself unable to escape or expand her space. The immense gravity of Ashveil's Golden Conqueror's Haki sphere suppressed her completely.
Boom!
A single strike slammed into Kaguya. Despite releasing mountains to block it, the sheer force of Ashveil's Haki absorbed them instantly.
"What terrifying power!" Kaguya exclaimed. "I'm actually being suppressed?"
Even for a being of her caliber, Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki left no room for evasion.
