" A god? " Seeing Niddhogg, Itachi immediately felt the magical power within it as well as its immense strength.
Sagittarius, seeing Niddhogg, became irritated and also transformed into a dragon, spitting out a beam of black light.
" NIHILITY "
With Sasuke's command, Niddhogg devoured the beam within its mouth, but nothing Sagittarius expected happened. And this is Sagittarius under Itachi's Tariff, making it a thousand percent stronger.
During these few seconds, without interruption from Itachi, the two thousand Karmic Emperors combined together to form twenty Karmic Gods, each with Six-Paths Level strength.
The next moment, twenty five-hundred-meter-long Karmic Gods teleported next to Itachi, punching towards him.
YGGDRASIL : TEN THOUSAND FOREST BARRIER
Immediately, Yggdrasil expanded, covering Itachi on all sides with its tens of thousands of branches.
BOOMMMM !!!!!
Although Itachi wasn't hurt, Yggdrasil was nearly destroyed by facing twenty Six-Paths Level attacks simultaneously.
RYŌIKI TENKAI: HAKUA KYŪDEN
DOMAIN EXPANSION: WHITE HOUSE
' Just as I expected... I can't interfere with them... '
Just now, he tried to do Conversion on the Karmic Gods, but he couldn't.
" SIX-PATHS FIRE STYLE : WHITE... DEATH "
With Itachi's command, with him as the center... a tsunami of white flames rushed out, forming a three-kilometer-wide domain around him. Even Karmic Gods with Six-Paths Level strength were starting to burn within it.
" Haruto, I will take care of Sagittarius... do not let Itachi disturb me. "
Just then, Sasuke had defeated the Karmic Emperor and shouted to Haruto.
" Oka— wait... so this is your goal. Now I know why you travelled to the past. But travelling to the past won't change the future... Sagittarius is still with Uncle Itachi... "
" Hehehe, let me give it a try. "
" Niddhogg... merge with it. "
MANGEKYO LEFT EYE : GLUTTONY
MANGEKYO RIGHT EYE : PERFECT CONTROL
The next moment, Niddhogg, who was fighting WWE with Sagittarius, started to melt into a black slimy liquid and started to merge with Sagittarius.
ROARRRRRR
Sagittarius, feeling the foreign energy trying to enter its body, roared as it tried to self-destruct, but it couldn't even muster any energy.
Itachi also sensed Sagittarius's predicament, but he also couldn't recall it back or control it.
" Itachi, Niddhogg is made with Moryo's soul as a primary object, which has a natural superiority over Sagittarius, who is its body. Now I am just merging the two of them, making them unite once again. "
" Is this Nihility... the property of Niddhogg? "
" Indeed... unlike the Gravity or Black Hole of Sagittarius, Niddhogg has the property of cancellation. My Mangekyo Sharingan, Gluttony, allows Niddhogg to merge with other life forms as well... it's just that Sagittarius is the perfect match... as for Perfect Control... you know by its name. "
ROARRRRR
While they were talking, Niddhogg had completely merged with Sagittarius as it expanded into its new form. Within seconds, a ten-kilometer-long dragon with six purple horns on its head, four wings on its back, each kilometers long and wide, with mountain-like sharp protrusions from its back, emerged.
" Sigh... Yggdrasil, take care of your old friend. "
Having no choice, Itachi had to free Yggdrasil to prevent Sasuke from joining the Karmic Gods in besieging him.
" It's not over.
SUSANOO FINAL FORM : WORLD DESTROYING DRAGON : NIDDHOGG "
With Sasuke's shout, he landed on its head as purple Susanoo armor covered its entire body, making the already demon-looking dragon more fierce.
" Don't underestimate meee !!!!
FORBIDDEN JUTSU : WORLD OF NIHILITY "
With Sasuke's shout, a black fog covered tens of kilometers, suppressing Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil, who was about to use Six-Paths Lightning, wasn't even able to muster it.
FORBIDDEN JUTSU : HEAT DEATH
The next moment, NIDDHOGG started to absorb all the heat and all kinds of energy around it, lowering the temperature drastically as ice started to form on Yggdrasil. Within seconds, the entire Yggdrasil was covered in ice... like a frozen tree in winter.
FORBIDDEN JUTSU : TRILLION TON SLASH
Sasuke wasn't over with his combo as he { Niddhogg } flew next to the frozen Yggdrasil and used its few kilometers-long tail as a sword and swung towards the trunk of Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil, sensing the immense danger, finally was able to use Priestess Power, which was able to hold the Nihility energy away, letting it use its power once again, though still suppressed.
The next moment, its thousands of branches broke free from the ice and rushed towards Niddhogg to prevent it from attacking while it used its other branches to cover its trunk for safety.
The next moment, like a hot knife through butter, the tail slashed through all the branches and, although the Priestess Power stopped it for a few seconds, it still slashed it apart as the trunk of Yggdrasil was broken and the legendary lightning tree fell.
Itachi, who was dodging and teleporting from the Karmic Gods, seeing this gritted his teeth while transferring a major chunk of his chakra to Yggdrasil.
" Yggdrasil... let's show your true strength.
YGGDRASIL : ROOTS OF JUDGMENT. "
With Itachi's shout, the entire broken tree started dissipating into ashes. Sasuke, seeing this, became more serious. He knew that the Yggdrasil he was fighting was just the base form and even the weakened version, unlike in his timeline... now it's Yggdrasil's Berserk or Final Form.
The next moment, Yggdrasil was only left as a small blinding white seed, which quickly turned black. Immediately, it started growing rapidly, expanding to a kilometer long in just a few seconds as it expanded more and more.
Within a minute, a fifty-kilometer-tall tree made of black lightning emerged from nothingness as the entire thousands of kilometers were enveloped in black lightning.
" Now that Sasuke is taken care of by Yggdrasil, let's take care of you. "
Itachi, who was already bleeding because of the continuous use of his Mangekyo Sharingan, said while looking at the twenty tall monsters who had already adapted to his white flames.
White flames are made when Dicyanoacetylene is burned in pure oxygen or ozone, with temperatures reaching more than five thousand degrees Celsius, equal to the surface temperature of the Sun. It's basically equivalent to Ryujin Jakka's Shikai from Bleach, but these Karmic Gods have already adapted to it, making Itachi feel like he was fighting multiple strengthened Mahoraga.
ECR : PLASMA FORTRESS
Seeing the Karmic Gods once again attacking, Itachi formed a huge fortress around him.
BOOMMMM
SIX-PATHS FŪINJUTSU : PLANETARY DEVASTATION
Next, Itachi quickly formed three black spheres and threw them towards the nearest Gods.
The next moment, the three of them were enclosed by huge rocks, finally forming ten-kilometer-radius meteors flying high in the sky.
SIX-PATHS FIRE STYLE : WHITE FLAME ANNIHILATION SPEAR
The next moment, after teleporting from the nearly destroyed Fortress, Itachi threw a white spear towards one of the Gods. Even though it tried to teleport repeatedly to avoid it, due to the hundred percent hit rate of Domain Expansion, it was still hit by it... The moment it hit the Karmic God, it expanded hundreds of times, with sealing jutsu acting on the God, immobilizing it while it was getting burned repeatedly.
FORBIDDEN JUTSU : DEATH PHOENIX
With another jutsu, Itachi formed a few-centimeters-long bird, which teleported next to a God and then became a black hole, trapping it while repeatedly destroying it.
BOOM
The next moment, Itachi teleported to another place to continue hunting the Gods one by one, but he was suddenly smashed by a kilometer-long mace and flew like a meteor, smashing through tens of mountains within a few seconds before finally stopping.
" COUGH COUGH COUGH "
Itachi turned to his side as he vomited blood and organs beside him while thinking of the damage.
' Hundreds of bones are broken... lungs have been punctured, spinal cord is broken... basically a cripple. '
CONVERSION : RAPHAEL'S INVOCATION
The next moment, Itachi converted the chakra within him into healing power and began to heal his injuries.
But before even a few bones were healed... four Karmic Gods with kilometer-huge hammers, each hundreds of meters wide, smashed them towards him while the remaining ten froze the space around Itachi to prevent him from teleporting.
ECR : MEHRANGARH FORT
Itachi, seeing this, stopped his healing and used ECR and Domain to form a fort around him. But this sudden defense couldn't stop the attack as it was broken within a second.
SPACE MANIPULATION : INFINITY
Seeing the destruction of the fort... Goj— ahem, Itachi created an infinite spatial barrier around him.
BOOMMMM !!!!!
The next moment, the four huge hammers smashed on top of each other as the entire ground dozens of kilometers around Itachi cracked and sank tens of meters.
Even though it didn't damage Itachi, he wasn't happy as little by little, force was traveling through the Limitless infinite space, hurting him more and more making him feel like being trapped in an ocean at a depth of thousands of meters. In just a few seconds, the Karmic Gods had begun to adapt to it.
" Uncle Itachi... you are trapped... admit defeat.... "
Haruto, looking at the tragic Itachi, said with a smile. Although he was also bleeding heavily, defeating Uchiha Itachi with such minor injuries...
Hehehe

Author's Note
Hello everyone!
So, as you can see, Itachi is currently getting his ass kicked.
What do you think will happen in the next chapter? Feel free to make your predictions.
I don't know whether I'm portraying Itachi as too weak or too strong, so I'd like to address that.
If you think he's looking too weak, remember that Itachi is essentially fighting around twenty Six Paths-level opponents at the same time. While all of them may be Weak Six Paths characters, they're still operating at that level.
This was actually one of the main reasons I wanted to showcase how overpowered this Bankai truly is.
Numbers become a terrifying advantage when everyone involved possesses high-level power.
On the other hand, if you're wondering why Itachi managed to survive for so long or why he was able to quickly trap several Six Paths-level opponents, there's a simple explanation:
Flying Thunder God.
It's an incredibly convenient technique for evasion and repositioning. After activating his Domain Expansion, Itachi can use Flying Thunder God without even requiring traditional seals or kunai, making escape and movement almost instantaneous.
Whenever things become dangerous:
Flying Thunder God → teleport away → problem solved.
That's the primary reason he has been able to hold out for as long as he has.
Anyway, that's all for now.
See you in the next chapter, and don't forget to leave your predictions!
