Chapter 193: Mutual Destruction

Katakuri's voice had just fallen when Minato gripped the picture frame tightly, fine beads of sweat already seeping from his forehead; in this Space, there was no way to directly use Flying Thunder God to leave.

Losing the Mirror Dimension Passage meant being completely trapped here, and outside the others were facing the fury of the entire Big Mom Family; time was life.

Raikage A said in a deep voice: "Minato, you find a way to break out first; these two guys I'll handle."

"Useless." Katakuri's eyes were cold, the Trident rotating lightly in his hand, "Here, you already have nowhere to escape."

Cracker clapped his hands together fiercely.

"Pa!"

The sweet scent of Biscuit instantly permeated the air; countless Biscuit fragments danced in the sky, rapidly condensing into fully armed Biscuit Soldiers one after another.

"Must find a breakthrough." Minato's eyes sharpened; he hung the picture frame at his waist, and simultaneously his right hand flipped, three Special Kunai already sliding into his palm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

He violently swung his arm; three streaks of cold light broke through the air, heading straight for the distant unbroken Mirror Dimension.

"Dream on, Mochi Blade Bullet!"

Katakuri flicked a finger; instantly three pitch-black bullets instantly struck the Kunai.

"Ding ding ding!" Amidst the crisp sounds of metal collision, the Kunai were all knocked down.

"Cracker!" Katakuri shouted in a deep voice, "Destroy all mirrors, not a single one can be spared!"

"Understood, Elder Brother Katakuri!"

At Cracker's command, the Biscuit Soldiers immediately swung their weapons, launching a fierce attack at the Mirror Dimensions all around.

"Crack! Crack!"

The mirrors shattered continuously under heavy blows; silver fragments fluttered down.

Minato's eyes sharpened; he instantly made a judgment: "Raikage! Cracker was just released from the binding, his condition is poor. You deal with him first; Katakuri is mine!"

"Good!"

Voice not yet fallen, Raikage's legs suddenly exerted force; his whole body like a streak of blue lightning charged at Cracker.

At the same time, Minato raised his right hand; a Special Kunai broke through the air and flew out.

His hands rapidly formed Hand Seals, chakra flowing at his Fingertips: "Kunai Shadow Clone Technique!" | "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

One Kunai instantly transformed into dozens of streaks of cold light breaking through the air, forming a dense, airtight metal torrent, shooting toward Katakuri.

"Too slow."

Katakuri's expression unchanged, the Trident rotated lightly in his palm. His wrist suddenly accelerated; the weapon drew afterimages in the air.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Crisp collision sounds rang out continuously; sparks flew everywhere; some Kunai were easily flicked away by him, drawing irregular arcs in the air.

"Vertical Rain Mochi!" Katakuri's right foot suddenly retreated half a step; his heel stomped heavily on the ground; "Crack" — spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from beneath his feet as the Center.

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Minato's feet suddenly bulged; rubble instantly burst upward; several thick white Mochi burst from the soil like cannon shells, aiming straight for Minato's vitals.

Minato's Pupil Shrunk; he instantly Manipulated Chakra: "Flying Thunder God!"

Golden light flashed; Minato's figure vanished without a trace.

"Boom!"

The Mochi Pierced through the Location where he originally stood; the tremendous impact smashed a deep pit in the ground; rubble splashed, Dust billowed.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Minato's voice suddenly rang out. Four puffs of white smoke exploded simultaneously; the smoke not yet dissipated, the left and right two clones had already charged out. Their toes touched the ground; borrowing force they surged forward; both hands simultaneously formed Hand Seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

The two clones simultaneously took a Deep Breath; solid wind bullets whistled forth; air compressed into sharp blade glints, crossing as they attacked Katakuri.

"This level of attack." Katakuri's eyes narrowed slightly.

He shook his right wrist; the Trident split the wind bullets in half like cutting tofu; the dispersed airflow exploded behind him, carving gullies into the ground.

"Mochi Whip!"

Katakuri waved his left hand; two thick Mochi like long whips broke through the air and flew out.

"Puff!"

The clones hadn't even had time to dodge before being Pierced through the chest by the Mochi; white smoke exploded; the two clones instantly Dissipated.

At This Moment, the third clone suddenly dive-bombed from the sky above; the Rasengan condensed in his hand already formed; a piercing sonic boom reverberated in the air: "Rasengan!"

"Too slow."

Katakuri's toes lightly tapped the ground; his whole body leaned back; simultaneously the Trident thrust upward, aiming straight for Minato's throat; however, just at the instant it was about to hit.

"Bang!"

The moment the weapon was about to connect, "Bang" — the Shadow Clone actively self-detonated. White smoke surged out, instantly obscuring Katakuri's vision.

Suddenly Katakuri felt his foot sink; a hand covered in mud burst from the ground, five fingers like iron pincers dead-locking his ankle.

"Earth Release: Heart Thrust Technique!"

The ground beneath his feet suddenly turned soft, collapsing inward like quicksand. Katakuri's legs sank; his whole body began to sink down.

"Bang!"

Just then, the distant ground suddenly exploded with a patch of smoke; Minato's figure charged out from the smoke and dust. His feet tapped on the rubble; his whole body like an arrow released from a bow shot forth.

"Just this level?"

Katakuri's right foot stomped heavily in the sunken ground; large amounts of Mochi surged from beneath his feet, Spreading outward. The white Mochi writhed like living things, instantly assimilating the surrounding ground.

"Boom!"

His legs suddenly exerted force; a tremendous power erupted from beneath his feet; the ground instantly shattered; rubble scattered; Katakuri borrowed this recoil force, his whole body soaring into the air.

Minato's left hand raised; a Kunai entwined with Wind Release chakra broke through the air and flew out; simultaneously, his right Palm had already begun condensing chakra; spiral chakra rapidly Compressed into a sphere.

Katakuri's pupils shrank, his upper body turning aside as the incoming kunai brushed past his cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood. But before the kunai could fly far, his right hand struck out, the trident stabbing straight at Minato's heart like a venomous snake.

Yet at the moment the trident was about to strike, Minato's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

"Flying Thunder God Second Stage!"

Minato's figure appeared beside the kunai still in midair, the Rasengan in his hand already blasting toward Katakuri's back. The howling wind tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistle.

"You think I don't know?"

Katakuri snorted coldly, veins bulging on his right arm as the trident spun nimbly in his palm. The thrusting posture instantly changed into an upward slash, the whole movement executed in one fluid motion.

"Pfft!"

The sharp trident precisely pierced Minato's body.

"I saw it long ago." Katakuri's tone was calm. "Before my Observation Haki, none of your movements can escape detection."

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the "Minato" who had been stabbed suddenly turned into a white mist and dissipated, while the Rasengan charging beside him also exploded into a cloud of white smoke at the same time.

"What?!" Katakuri's pupils shrank suddenly. The Observation Haki he was proud of had actually been toyed with!

In the blink of an eye, the real Minato appeared from the white mist, his palm already pressed against Katakuri's shoulder, the light of the technique flashing in his palm.

And a few minutes earlier, on the other side of the battlefield: "The fight here will end soon!" A sharp light flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes. "Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

Boom! With a tremendous crash, electric patterns instantly appeared on the Raikage's bronze-colored skin.

Blue lightning like leaping flames flowed across his body's surface. With every arc of electricity leaping, a sharp crackling sound rang out, and the breath of ionized air hit the face. "Don't be too arrogant!" Cracker clapped his hands rapidly, the "papapa" sounds connecting into one piece, countless golden biscuit fragments condensing in the air, instantly turning into rows of fully armed soldiers.

The Biscuit Soldiers drew their long swords, cold light flashing. The armor on their bodies gleamed with a metallic cold light, stepping in neat formation before Cracker.

"Tear him to pieces for me!" Cracker waved his hand and ordered.

The Biscuit Soldiers roared in unison, pointing their long swords forward, surging toward the Raikage like a tide. The soldier in the very front raised his long sword, slashing down at the Raikage!

"Overestimating yourself." The Raikage's eyes turned cold, his right foot suddenly retreating half a step. "Hell Thrust: Three Fingers Pierce Hand!"

"Boom!"

The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered under the tremendous force, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outward. The Raikage shot out like a shell from a cannon.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A blue lightning bolt shuttled back and forth through the Biscuit Army. Whenever the electric light flashed, several Biscuit Soldiers were instantly smashed to pieces, blue lightning and golden fragments intertwining in the air.

"Damn it!" Cracker gritted his teeth and kept clapping his hands. The biscuit fragments on the ground constantly reassembled, new soldiers rushing toward the Raikage one after another. But a sudden sharp pain came from his old abdominal wound, and his clapping motion hesitated.

"Your stamina has reached its limit, hasn't it?" The Raikage sneered, quickly forming hand seals with both hands. The lightning all over his body suddenly turned a deep black.

"Lightning Release: Black Lightning!"

Boom! The air seemed to freeze in that instant. Black lightning wrapped around his right arm, emitting a teeth-grating hum.

Then the Raikage suddenly punched out. Black lightning instantly swept across the entire field, dense electric light splitting in the air and spreading outward like a spiderweb. Electric arcs struck the walls and ground, leaving trails of charred marks.

The frontline Biscuit Soldiers were instantly torn into fragments by the black lightning, golden debris flying everywhere in the electric light.

"Hell Thrust."

The Raikage growled lowly, his fingers thrusting forward. Black lightning condensed at his fingertips, electric arcs intertwining into a sharp long spear.

"One Finger Pierce Hand!"

His whole body shot out like a shell from a cannon. A visible white air wave formed beside him, and piercing sonic booms exploded one after another.

The rearguard Biscuit Soldiers didn't even have time to raise their weapons before being pierced by this terrifying blow. Cracker was right before his eyes.

"It's over!"

A cold light flashed in the Raikage's pupils, the lightning on his fingers growing even more intense as he struck straight at Cracker's heart.

"Pfft!"

His fingers pierced Cracker's body, but Cracker's figure suddenly crumbled, turning into golden biscuit crumbs flying across the sky.

"A clone?!" The Raikage's eyes widened instantly.

Only to see a Biscuit Soldier beside him suddenly explode, and Cracker's figure emerged from within. His arms crossed over his chest, seven long swords wrapped in Armament Haki appeared behind him.

"I've been waiting for this moment!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cracker's eyes.

"Damn it!"

The Raikage's heart sank. The muscles all over his body instantly tensed. He wanted to withdraw his extended fingers, but due to inertia he couldn't change direction in time. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and his body turned with difficulty.

"Die!" Cracker let out a fierce shout, and seven long swords, accompanied by piercing sounds of breaking the sky, thrust out simultaneously.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The sounds of blades entering flesh rang out one after another, blood splattering in the air. But the next second, the smile on Cracker's face instantly froze on his face.

"What?!" Katakuri's pupils shrank suddenly, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Elder Brother Katakuri! How is this possible!"

Only to see Katakuri appearing before Cracker at some unknown time. All seven long swords had pierced into his body, blood dripping along the blades and pooling into a dark red patch on the ground.

"Flying Thunder God Revolving Technique."

Minato's voice rang out. At this moment, a kunai swayed slightly at the Raikage's waist—the special kunai previously given to the Raikage.

"Boom!"

The Raikage's fingers, wrapped in black lightning, were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Cracker's chest. Pitch-black electric light jumped wildly at the wound, and the smell of flesh and blood being scorched by high temperature permeated the air.

"Pfft!"

Cracker spat out a jet of blood. Crimson blood drew an arc in the air. His pupils began to dilate, and his legs could no longer support his huge body.

"Thud."

His heavy knees knelt heavily on the ground, kicking up a circle of dust. He swayed on the verge of collapse, his palm pressing hard against the ground, but his fingertips continued to tremble incessantly.

"... Sorry, Elder Brother Katakuri." Blood overflowed from Cracker's mouth, his voice gradually fading: "I've caused trouble for Elder Brother again and let you down."

"Rasengan!"

At this critical moment, Minato's figure suddenly appeared behind Katakuri. The blue light sphere condensed in his hand, accompanied by a piercing whistle, struck straight at the vital point.

"Hah!"

However, Katakuri's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations. He suddenly let out a low roar. The muscles on his back bulged violently, chunks of muscle writhing and squirming like living things. The long swords deeply embedded in flesh and blood began to tremble violently.

"Crack!"

A crisp snapping sound rang out, and seven long 【something】 were crushed and snapped by his muscles, fragments spraying through the air with a crisp sound.

"What?!" Minato's pupils shrank; the Rasengan was already within reach, yet he saw Katakuri suddenly turn around,

his right leg instantly covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, muscles bulging and coiled, like a black dragon about to pounce.

"Get out of my way!" Katakuri's voice now carried unprecedented Anger.

His right leg shot out like a shell from a cannon, the air instantly twisting under this terrifying force, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom!"

Minato had no time to react at all, and was struck squarely in the chest by this immensely powerful kick.

"Crack!"

Amidst the crisp sound of shattering bones, Minato's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, heavily crashing into the distant Wall.

"Cough..."

Minato spat out a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, slowly sliding down while pressed against the Wall; at this moment he felt his chest as if crushed by a great mountain, his ribs broken who knew how many.

"Bastard!"

The Raikage roared, the black Lightning Release Armor entwined all over his body becoming even more violent; he suddenly stomped and shattered the Ground, his whole body rushing toward Katakuri like a streak of Black Lightning.

"Slash Cut Mochi!" Katakuri bellowed, his right arm instantly swelling and deforming, the Mochi wriggling like a living thing. In the blink of an eye, the arm had transformed into a huge Mochi Mace, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, flashing with a heart-piercing cold light.

His arm suddenly swung, the huge Mochi Mace rotating at high speed, drawing a black arc in the air, carrying terrifying force to meet the Raikage.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided head-on, Air Waves scattering in all directions, and the Raikage was forced back several steps.

"Cracker!" Katakuri came before his younger brother, kneeling on one knee: "You have let no one down..."

Katakuri reached out and gently pressed his hand on Cracker's chest. A large amount of Mochi surged from his Palm, drilling into the wound like living things, trying to plug the gushing blood; although he didn't know if it would be effective, at this moment he could only do this.

"Brulee!" Katakuri suddenly looked up and shouted: "Hurry and take Cracker away!"
