A minute later, a Black Dragon thousands of meters long, with a wingspan of more than two thousand meters, roared in anger!!!! It had four regal curved horns on its head, purple eyes, with sharp sword-like protrusions emerging from its neck all the way to the end of its tail, which was as sharp as a spearhead.
Its two arms were filled with strength, and the purple scales covering them, each the size of a human, reflected the moonlight. Its claws, each with five fingers tens of meters long, were capable of tearing apart Tailed Beasts through sheer strength alone.
{ WRITE THIS PROMPT IN YOUR AI AND PLEASE POST ANYONE. My Ai is useless. }
Seeing this, Itachi smiled in satisfaction. Although Sagittarius was not as large as Yggdrasil, that was because it had consumed fewer souls. Ultimately, unlike Yggdrasil, it was a weapon-type God.
"ROARRRRRRRR!!!"
Hearing the roar, Sasuke and the others felt dizzy and didn't dare look directly at it. Just staring at Sagittarius made them feel as if they were falling into an endless abyss that suffocated them to the point they could barely breathe.
RUSTLE
Hearing Sagittarius's roar, the leaves and branches of Yggdrasil rustled in response, ready to deal with its arch-enemy.
SWISHHHH
The next moment, Sagittarius flapped its wings and rushed toward Yggdrasil's massive Trunk, its mountain-sized claws ready to tear the tree apart. Sensing Sagittarius's approach, Yggdrasil used hundreds of branches and hanging roots to bind it.
"ROARRRRR!!!!"
Seeing this, Sagittarius opened its mouth and roared. In the next instant, hundreds of spears, each dozens of meters long, shot out from its mouth, every one targeting a specific branch or root.
The moment a spear collided with a branch, it neither exploded nor pierced through it as one would expect. Instead, at the point of contact, it expanded into a purple-black sphere hundreds of meters in radius.
A few seconds later, when the purple-black sphere disappeared, everything inside it had already been reduced to oblivion.
The same happened with the other hundreds of spears, destroying most of the incoming branches and roots.
'Hmmm, that's a good attack, like Truth-Seeking Orbs. Let's name this... Sagittarius Style: Star Fall,' Itachi commented to himself.
When Sagittarius was less than three kilometers away from Yggdrasil's trunk, thousands of roots, each hundreds of meters long, burst from the ground and rushed toward the dragon.
But the moment they came within a few meters of Sagittarius, space itself seemed to distort. All the roots were crushed before being absorbed into the black mist emanating from the dragon.
'Is that Sagittarius's defense? Something like Gojo Satoru's Infinity? Except instead of creating an infinite space between two points, it distorts space itself breaking everything and absorbs everything into the black mist to obliterate it. Let's name this... Sagittarius Style: Event Horizon.'
One second later—
Sagittarius finally reached the trunk and slashed with its two claws, forming an X while its mouth lunged forward to bite.
But at that exact moment, Yggdrasil suddenly began to shine so brightly that Sagittarius froze in place. Before it could defend itself, hundreds of roots and aerial roots wrapped around it, binding the dragon like a dumpling.
'So everything until now was a tactic? Yggdrasil deliberately allowed Sagittarius to approach without using its stronger abilities, only to ambush it at the perfect moment? Using itself as bait... quite ruthless.'
Itachi watched the sudden reversal with anticipation, though there was no one present to hear his thoughts and give him company.
"ROARRRR—"
Sagittarius had just regained consciousness and roared in anger when Yggdrasil viciously forced roots into its mouth, shutting the dragon up.
At the same time, more and more layers of roots and branches wrapped around Sagittarius, increasing the difficulty of escape with every passing second.
Sensing this, Sagittarius concentrated all of its essence into its tail, causing it to expand dozens of times in size. The next second, the empowered tail shattered all the roots binding it.
Immediately afterward, Sagittarius twisted its kilometer-long body and thrust its five-kilometer spear-shaped tail toward Yggdrasil's trunk.
Sensing the attack, Yggdrasil created a storm barrier of lightning around its trunk. In the next moment, Sagittarius's tail pierced through the storm with great difficulty before finally reaching the trunk and exploding into a purple-black sphere hundreds of meters in radius. Although smaller than expected, its power was many times greater and concentrated than the previous attacks.
A few seconds later, the purple-black sphere disappeared, revealing the damage it had caused.
Half of the hundred-meter-wide trunk had been annihilated into nothingness.
Yet within the next few seconds, Yggdrasil regenerated completely, erasing all of Sagittarius's efforts.
The very next moment, Sagittarius was once again tightly bound by hundreds of lightning roots. The roots not only numbed its body but also interfered with the magical pathways inside it, preventing Sagittarius from properly using magical energy.
'Tsk, tsk, tsk... now this really feels like Hashirama versus Madara. You injure him with great difficulty, and he just regenerates within seconds. Though that last move from Sagittarius was truly cool... is this really only Half-Six Paths Level?'
Ten seconds later—
Realizing there was no way to escape this time, Sagittarius decisively self-destructed.
The next moment, a purple-black sphere larger than anything before expanded outward, more than a thousand meters in diameter.
All the roots binding Sagittarius were erased into oblivion, but Yggdrasil didn't care.
If you destroy ten, I will create ten thousand.
A few seconds later, when the purple-black sphere disappeared, a purple-black spear slightly over two meters long remained at the center.
But tens of thousands of branches and roots were already waiting outside to welcome it.
Seeing this, Sagittarius changed forms once again, transforming into a tiny black panther with purple spots and glowing purple eyes, only a few tens of meters long.
The next moment, tens of thousands of branches and roots rushed toward the black panther.
In response, all the purple spots on the panther's body glowed, and countless pencil-sized spears shot out from them, colliding with the incoming branches. At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a column of black flames, forcefully creating an opening for itself.
Wherever the panther stepped, it left behind marks that formed miniature black spheres tens of meters wide, causing destruction everywhere it passed.
With its much smaller size, it was several times faster than its previous form. It leaped from one branch to another, stepped across leaves, and ran along the hanging roots as if walking on solid land.
Itachi was impressed by this form.
If this creature had faced the eighty thousand ninjas Madara fought during the Fourth Great Ninja War, the battle might have ended within a minute.
Even Minato and Tobirama would not last long against Sagittarius because they were inherently at a disadvantage against it.
Sagittarius could manifest black holes, control gravity, and all of its attacks carried effects similar to Truth-Seeking Orbs. Space-time ninjutsu also became nearly useless near it, as Sagittarius distorted space itself, making the Flying Thunder God technique essentially ineffective in combat and only somewhat useful for escaping for a few seconds.
Even if someone somehow managed to land an attack on it, it would hardly matter because of its overwhelming defense.
And beyond that, it could regenerate just like Yggdrasil.
And until now, Sagittarius still hadn't gone all out.
