Chapter 361: Yahiko: Everyone, follow my command?

"Since there is a reason, we will not pursue it further."

Onoki chuckled and said, "However, we will not compensate you for the Contribution Points for killing the God that you missed out on earlier."

Boss battles are always judged comprehensively based on the damage dealt by combat players, as well as the healing, buffs, debuffs, and crowd control provided by support players.

Since Mist and Dawn only arrived just now, I fear they will miss out on the good loot that drops later.

"It doesn't matter."

Terumi Mei's crimson lips curled slightly as she smiled gently: "Mist dispatched troops to rescue Konoha and save the Ninja World in the first place; I don't take a few Reward Points to heart."

Her words sounded as if she were implying that all the other Ninja Villages and factions had come solely for the Reward Points.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was not very pleasant, and he wanted to curse, but he said instead: "Many thanks for the Mizukage's rescue; Konoha is deeply grateful."

Did Mist not mention a single word about the millions of Reward Points Konoha Family paid out to beg various factions for rescue?

Mist took a reward of one million Reward Points based solely on Terumi Mei's personal strength.

However,

After all, it was Konoha that the God was attacking, and no matter how much it pained Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had no choice, unless he wanted to watch Konoha be destroyed with his own eyes.

Bang.

The God shook its arms, whipping up gusts of wind that deflected the top players' attacks entirely.

The stone-sculpted divine body was covered in mottled, uneven marks, but no substantial damage had been dealt; even the wounds on its chest torn by sacred flames and curse-flame dragons were rapidly recovering under the illumination of the black-red Xieshen Light.

"Let's deal with the God first before thinking about how to divide the spoils; otherwise, it won't look good if the Ninja World is destroyed by the God."

Akainu's words were harsh, but no one refuted them, especially the Ninja World players.

The brief battle had already made them realize that this God truly possessed the power to destroy the Ninja World.

Furthermore,

As the God ravaged the Land of Hot Water, the Xieshen Light floating on its body surface was visibly growing more intense.

If it could not be handled in time, it would become increasingly powerful, like a snowball rolling down a mountain peak.

"Explosive Flame Sun."

Terumi Mei slowly ascended, her spacious Mage robe, imprinted with explosive flame patterns, fluttering without wind.

Following a soft chant,

The air seemed to become dry, and all players felt as if the moisture in their surroundings was being evaporated.

Boom.

Even the God, burning with evil light, seemed to dim.

In the firmament, a crimson sun broke through the God's obstruction and slowly descended.

The extremely violent flames seemed intent on drying up all the moisture in the entire Ninja World; even the God's massive body appeared like the Nine-Tails being gripped by Wood Release under this Explosive Flame Sun.

"Explosive Flame Mage?"

Staff Officer Tsuru looked down at her sun-dried arms and said in shock: "Terumi Mei, the Forbidden Spell of an ordinary Explosive Flame Mage cannot have such world-destroying power."

The 【Frost Snow Mountain】 armor, with a full fifty percent attribute Reinforcement, is truly terrifying.

"So strong, it actually made me feel the aura of the Captain-Commander's Zanpakuto; indeed, no world should be underestimated."

Aizen pushed up his glasses, the reflection obscuring his gaze, and he silently withdrew his focus,

Continuing to care for the injured patients, his gentle voice seeming to have a magical power that encouraged the low spirits of the wounded.

The moment the Explosive Flame Sun crashed down, the others also launched their attacks.

The blinding flame light and scorching air covered the entire world, and the God, which had been as steady as Mount Tai, was actually beaten to its knees by this move.

"Abyss..."

A strange, complex, murmuring voice sounded like the chanting of a fallen Buddha.

Even Terumi Mei revealed an expression of disbelief.

The God, having taken her strongest finishing move 【Explosive Flame Sun】 head-on, stood up completely unscathed, and accompanied by the strange chanting, sounds of space tearing echoed throughout the world. Like a shattered mirror, the sky of the Ninja World suddenly burst open, and above the fractured firmament was the scene of a deep, bottomless Abyss.

Abyss Divine Light!

As if a twilight halo were spilling over the earth, a status effect appeared on all players.

【Abyss Halo】: Damage and negative effects dealt by players to the God will be transferred into the 【Abyss】, making it impossible to deal damage to the God.

"Invincible Halo?"

Raikage Ai cursed out loud directly.

The God, condensed from the countless evil thoughts of the Ninja World, already had a tough body, and ordinary attacks could not break its defense.

Now that it had actually activated an invincible halo, how were they supposed to fight? Marine Headquarters and the Scarlet Troll, including Terumi Mei and the leader of the Dawn Organization, all revealed expressions of shock.

Is this a Dark Gold monster? It is indeed powerful to the point of despair; the Abyss Halo can negate all damage, and even the strongest finishing move cannot break a single finger of the God.

The God.

After the Samsara Game opened, the first Dark Gold monster that players truly faced revealed its fangs capable of tearing the world apart.

"Do not panic!"

A figure wearing a Dawn robe pulled back their hood, revealing striking orange short hair.

Yahiko's expression was calm as he looked up at the monster, which had already raised its arms to release the 【God Beam】.

He said loudly: "Since the halo can grant the God invincible abilities, then break the halo, and then kill the God!"

The matter-of-fact tone left the top players present stunned.

Break the Abyss Halo first, then kill the God.

Everyone here was a top player, and everyone understood such a method.

However,

The difficulty of having to withstand the God in its invincible state to break the Abyss Halo behind it was the key reason the players felt despair.

However, Yahiko's tone seemed to show that he did not take the difficulties to heart at all.

If this had been said by an ignorant person, a commoner, or an ordinary ninja who did not know the power of the Dark Gold monsters, the players present would have taken it as an absurd joke.

However, Yahiko was clearly a player.

Moreover, the aura he exuded was not weaker than that of the top-tier players, and yet, when everyone was shrouded in the haze of despair, he was like a beam of light tearing through the dark clouds.

"Is it him... that brat from the Land of Rain back then?"

Tsunade frowned deeply and glanced at Jiraiya beside her.

Covered in wounds, Jiraiya struggled to straighten his body, his gaze falling upon Yahiko, feeling both familiar and strange.

With a complex look in his eyes, Jiraiya whispered, "Yahiko..."

"Teacher Jiraiya, long time no see."

Yahiko turned his head, looking with a full smile at the Toad Sage who had once taught them.

The Evil God beam surged out.

The earth cracked, mountains collapsed, stone waves were kicked up everywhere, and magma leaked from the underground—a scene of the coming apocalypse.

Under the death threat of the Evil God beam, Yahiko shouted aloud: "Navy, Pirates, everyone from the Four Great Ninja Villages, if we continue to remain in this stalemate, the world will face destruction."

"After the ninja world is destroyed, do you think the Sea World won't be attacked by the Dark Gold monsters?"

"Why not start right now, put aside our mutual hostility, and work together to kill the Evil God?"

"I am the Leader of the Dawn Organization, my name is Yahiko, and from beginning to end, I have believed that the ninja world, the Sea World, and humanity can coexist in peace!"

"Just as the game merchant said, cooperation, trust, courage, and the will to resist corruption are the most precious things that humans in any world possess..."

"Everyone, entrust your will to me at this moment and become the heroes who save the world!"
