Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: The Power of the Demon God

The female leader sensed things were going south fast and was about to pull the old "we're allies, you and I" trick.

But Naruto didn't give her the chance.

A crimson oval-shaped barrier instantly engulfed the entire surrounding starfield.

"Demonic Domain."

It was one of the Demon God's innate abilities—Naruto activated it to lock the three Ōtsutsuki within the field.

Inside this domain, Naruto could do as he pleased.

Meanwhile, anyone caught inside had their power drastically suppressed, spatial techniques sealed, and movement restricted.

It was practically the perfect counter to most of the Ōtsutsuki clan's tricks.

The moment they were enveloped, the three felt an overwhelming sense of dread.

Sometimes, the longer you live, the more afraid you are of dying.

They had long grown used to acting without fear, so facing death now only made it worse.

The female leader panicked.

No longer caring about turning Naruto into "fertilizer" or trying to recruit him, her right eye flashed red.

She activated her unique dōjutsu: Save Point Leap.

A technique that allowed her to return to a previously "saved" location—

And reset her body to the state it was in at that moment.

Like the Mangekyō Sharingan, Rinnegan abilities were often a reflection of the wielder's inner self.

This one? Purely designed to survive.

The fact she used it before the fight even started, just sensing Naruto's pressure, said everything.

But the move had a serious drawback:

It also reset her strength to what it was back when she marked the save point.

She had just devoured the chakra fruit from the planet below, and hadn't saved her state yet.

So now, using this technique… would mean throwing that power away.

Her heart filled with regret—and venom.

As the ability triggered, her inner voice burned with hatred:

'No matter what it takes—getting stronger or clinging to someone stronger—

I'll kill you one day, Naruto. I'll make you regret this.'

But…

Three seconds passed.

She was still standing in place.

Her eyes widened in horror.

"What?! Why didn't it activate?!"

She quickly realized—

It was Naruto's domain.

His crimson world overrode her technique.

Its authority surpassed her own.

Which meant one thing—

She couldn't beat him…

And she couldn't run.

Panic overtook her.

She turned toward Naruto, and the hate in her eyes melted into a pitiful look, lips parting to beg for mercy—

Only to see Naruto slowly raise his hand toward them.

Then—

A ten-thousand-meter-long blood-red spear tore through space from above, descending straight at the trio.

Just the aura it radiated made the three feel like their skulls were being split open.

Dodge?

That thought barely formed before being dismissed.

They tried to move—

But at that exact moment, countless crystalline Wood Release vines surged up around them, binding their limbs.

The vines were insanely tenacious—

Even when cut, they regrew instantly like a regenerative forest.

Above them, the giant spear loomed ever closer.

Below them, unending wood coiled and constricted.

Barely a few seconds into the battle, the pressure was crushing.

"Shit!"

The shorter male Ōtsutsuki behind the woman clenched his teeth and glared at Naruto.

Then, his right eye lit up.

Naruto saw it all.

That telltale flash, the slow wind-up—classic Ōtsutsuki arrogance.

They always relied too much on their stat advantage and flashy dōjutsu.

The short guy's ability?

Calamity.

It cursed the target—rapidly draining their vitality and energy until death.

He'd taken down stronger opponents before this way.

'Just land this curse, and no matter how strong he is—he'll eventually die!'

As he cast the jutsu, confidence surged through him…

But then—

Naruto's body lit up with blazing red energy.

A surge of pure power erupted outward, shattering the curse's black mist like dust.

Demon God's passive ability: Curse Immunity.

Immune to poisons, illusions, curses—

Any form of soul or body corruption was useless against him.

The shorter Ōtsutsuki just stood there, stunned.

His trump card—completely dismantled in a flash.

"This is bullshit...!"

And then, the spear fell.

With no time to dodge, the three could only pour everything into defense.

They formed a semi-transparent blue dome, lifting it above them to shield against the impact.

The moment the blood-red spear struck—

BOOM.

A blast of destructive force rippled out, shaking the nearby stars and shoving the lifeless gray planet several kilometers out of orbit.

That blue shield?

A divine technique the female leader had begged from the Ōtsutsuki elders in exchange for massive sacrifices.

One of their most unbreakable defenses.

And yet—

It was barely holding.

Cracks ran through its surface.

The massive spear pressed down with endless force, threatening to collapse it entirely.

"We need a plan—fast!"

But Naruto didn't wait.

In Demon God form, he vanished.

In the next instant, he appeared at the butt of the spear.

And then—

stomped.

His foot crashed down—

CRACK.

Space itself shattered.

Black-red void rifts spiderwebbed outward.

The shockwave was even greater than the initial impact.

The spear surged with power—

SHATTERED the blue dome entirely.

CRACK!!!

The shield exploded into azure particles.

And behind it—

The three Ōtsutsuki stood fully exposed.

The giant spear, still descending.

Fear took full hold.

The female leader's eyes went wide.

She forgot all pride, and screamed in sheer desperation.

"You can't kill me! If you do, the Seven Elders will hunt you to the ends of the universe!"

"Let me go—anything you want, it's yours!"

But Naruto didn't respond.

No words.

No hesitation.

The spear fell.

BOOM!!!

The explosion of blood-red energy that followed—

Was larger than an entire planet.

Naruto had reached star-killing level.

When the storm finally cleared—

Only devastation remained.

The two male Ōtsutsuki lay half-dead, barely breathing, clothes in tatters.

Naruto had held back—he needed their bodies as fertilizer for the God Tree.

As for the female?

Typical of a coward, she had every life-saving measure in place.

Somehow, she was still standing.

Barely.

Her robes were shredded, exposing pale skin all over—

Upper, lower… everywhere.

But despite that, she still stood.

Barely.

Her chakra was drained.

Her Rinnegan dim.

Her power? Nearly gone.

She looked up.

Meeting Naruto's gaze from above.
