The End of the Old Era

"Asshole! Damn it! Unforgivable!"

Momoshiki, who was knocked flying, barely managed to control his body.

His body was shaking with anger. He was beaten so badly by an indigenous human.

"Yuta, damn asshole!"

Momoshiki's eyes were full of scarlet blood.

He raised one of his arms and looked at the Rinnegan left in his palm, hesitation flashing across his face.

Should he do this?

Is it worth sacrificing so much for this battle?

"It's worth it!"

Yuta must be killed with his own hands.

Momoshiki gritted his teeth, and dug out the Rinnegan in his palm with ruthless determination.

Then, he swallowed it whole, chewing a few times before letting it slide down his throat.

As the Rinnegan was consumed, it transformed into a surge of pure Chakra, flooding Momoshiki's body and making his entire presence grow more menacing.

Buzz!

Momoshiki's once-white eyes began turning gold.

On his forehead, a dark golden Rinnegan emerged.

"Isshiki, are you still alive?!"

Momoshiki called out to Isshiki, who had also been knocked away.

"If you can still fight, help later. Don't let Yuta escape. I want to kill him with my own hands."

Isshiki, standing aside, observed Momoshiki's surging power with a hint of envy.

Thousands of years ago, he had been stronger than Momoshiki.

But while Isshiki had been hiding, and recovering from an ambush, Momoshiki had been planting God trees on different planets, becoming stronger.

Now, with the tide turning against them, Momoshiki could consume his Rinnegan to gain a burst of power.

But Isshiki couldn't. His body was still incomplete, his reincarnation body was only capable of lasting ten more days.

He needed a new vessel—fast.

Isshiki said, "After killing Yuta, don't destroy his body. I can use it."

Momoshiki's vertical pupil scanned Isshiki and he sneered.

He said, "Seems like in the past thousand years, you have been miserable. You even lost your body."

"As long as Yuta doesn't escape, and if his body is intact, I'll give it to you."

"But this planet belongs to me."

After consuming the Rinnegan, Momoshiki's confidence had soared.

Isshiki pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Without hesitation, the two surged forward at full speed, returning to the battlefield.

Yuta said, "Oh, you two still have the courage to come back? That's unexpected."

Yuta glanced at Momoshiki, whose aura had grown stronger, but he still remained indifferent.

Seeing Yuta hold him in such low regard, Momoshiki's anger flared.

He turned his gaze to the massive rock sphere where Kinshiki was sealed.

With Kinshiki's strength, there was no way he could break free alone.

"Ant, your growth stops here!"

Momoshiki sneered, pointing at Yuta in midair.

The dark golden vertical pupil on his forehead gleamed as he activated his ability.

"Freeze time and space! In this helpless despair, welcome death, ant!"

The moment Momoshiki's ability activated, Yuta noticed something.

The cosmic dust around him had frozen, fixed in place.

Freezing time and space?

So this was Momoshiki's unique ability?

Yuta remained still, leisurely watching Momoshiki approach him, arrogance written all over his face.

Momoshiki asked, "Weren't you confident before?"

"You said we came here to die?"

"You dared to say we would all perish?"

Momoshiki smirked, looking at Yuta, who was now motionless.

"Now, you can't resist at all. You can only wait for your death in fear."

Smugly, he swung his fist toward Yuta's face.

Suddenly!

Yuta didn't move but he effortlessly caught Momoshiki's punch with one hand.

A smirk appeared on his face as he said, "Freezing time and space, huh? Not bad."

"But you can only partially freeze time and space. That's just mediocre."

Crack!

Yuta's grip tightened. Before Momoshiki could react, his palm was crushed.

"Ahh…"

The pain made Momoshiki's forehead veins bulge, but he gritted his teeth, retreating quickly.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why had his time-space freeze failed?

Yuta asked, "Do you have anything else?"

"If this is all the so-called strongest clan can do, I'm disappointed."

Yuta raised his Tenseigan golden sword.

"If I hadn't held back, you two would already be dead."

"Damn it!"

Momoshiki seethed with rage.

"Who the hell do you think you're looking down on?!"

Raising his arm, he gathered a massive amount of Chakra, forming a Rasengan-like sphere in his palm.

"Die, damn bastard!"

Momoshiki roared, hurling a dark red Chakra sphere at Yuta.

Isshiki also didn't hesitate. His golden eyes gleamed.

He summoned massive black cubes, crushing the battlefield with infinite gravity.

"It seems that you really have no other moves."

Yuta sighed, disappointed.

"At this level, I don't even need to use my full power to defeat you."

Activating his Tenseigan golden sword, Yuta effortlessly sliced through the black cubes and the dark red Chakra sphere.

Boom!

A violent explosion engulfed Momoshiki and Isshiki.

"Godly Chibaku Tensei!"

Without pause, Yuta clasped his hands together, summoning a black sphere at the explosion's center.

Momoshiki and Isshiki's expressions shifted.

Buzz!

The small sphere erupted with overwhelming gravitational force, pulling them in.

In that instant, they forgot everything else.

Momoshiki no longer cared about killing Yuta for revenge.

Isshiki no longer cared about securing a new body.

All that mattered was escaping.

The two unleashed their full power, doing everything to try to break free, fleeing into the depths of outer space.

"You're running now?"

Yuta chuckled, his eyes flashing.

"Then let me show you my ability."

"Time Stop! The World!"

Buzz!

The universe itself seemed to have paused.

The floating cosmic dust froze in place.

Momoshiki and Isshiki felt their bodies become sluggish, as though they were trapped in quicksand.

Damn it!

So that's why Yuta wasn't affected before.

He had an even stronger time stop ability.

He had been pretending to be frozen—mocking him.

Momoshiki's power could freeze time in a specific area.

But Yuta…

He could stop time in the entire world.

"No! His ability must have a limit. We need to escape!"

Both Momoshiki and Isshiki activated their space abilities, trying to open a portal.

But in this frozen world, even their movements were painfully slow.

"It ends here."

Yuta wielded the natural energy of the entire land.

His Tenseigan golden sword extended endlessly, slashing through the starry sky— and through Momoshiki and Isshiki.

"No!!!"

Despite their desperation, space-time ninjutsu failed them.

They helplessly watched as the golden sword cut them in half.

Swish!

Time resumed.

The severed Momoshiki and Isshiki, along with the sealed Kinshiki, were transported into a separate dimension.

Yuta gathered his remaining Chakra and used an expanding Truth-Seeking Ball.

A tiny orb expanded rapidly, swallowing the three with pure annihilation.

"No, I don't want to die!"

"Yuta, stop it!"

But Yuta ignored their pleas.

He simply watched as their despair turned to rage, and finally.

Nothing.

Only pure Chakra remained.

Then, stepping into Earth's orbit, Yuta gazed at the endless void.

"The old era is over."
