Chapter 252: The King of Ultimate Benevolence and Goodness (3k, bonus for 1100 monthly votes)

When Catherine saw Pain rising into the air, she had already sensed something was wrong. She immediately took out the 【Magic Carpet】 hidden in her backpack. Noticing Bai Cangshu's peripheral vision fixed on her, she helplessly brought Ping Zhonghua and the heavily injured Uchiha Itachi onto it, then fled rapidly.

According to her memories, 【Super Almighty Push】, released by fully absorbing all Chakra, is a Disaster Grade ability capable of completely destroying an area of ten to twenty miles.

In the original work, the opponent used this move to directly collapse the entire Konoha Village.

This kind of technique has completely surpassed the scope of the 【Strong】 tier. Although the main body is weak, the ability of the 【Rinnegan】 is indeed heaven-defying, allowing Nagato to cause this level of destructive power.

Catherine only worried that the Magic Carpet's flight speed was not fast enough, but she forced herself to remain calm. She believed that if her guess was correct and Tao Baibai's Main Mission was truly to protect this woman named Ping Zhonghua, then at this moment, no matter what method was used, as long as she stayed with Ping Zhonghua, Tao Baibai would definitely not let that move hit her directly!

Bai Cangshu looked up, watching the spectacle of Pain unleashing Super Almighty Push, the Killing Intent Wave almost enveloping his entire being.

The so-called Killing Intent Wave is a special energy that can only be nourished by fighting and slaughtering such strong opponents.

Nourish strength with strength, nourish slaughter with slaughter.

Pain pushed his hands out indifferently, and a destructive repulsive force erupted with a boom.

At the same time, Bai Cangshu's figure appeared instantly in the air, appearing right in front of Pain.

He spread his hands, operating 【Art Style: Blue】 at full power. Without Gojo Satoru controlling the body, the Limitless imprinted in Bai Cangshu's body was not yet clear enough; he could only use 【Blue】, which is why he had not used 【Red】 to attack.

At this moment, that intense gravitational force, under the reinforcement of his extremely distorted Cursed Energy, created a pitch-black sight before him in an instant—that was the appearance of sufficiently dense Cursed Energy manifesting to a normal person's perspective after completely absorbing the surrounding air.

Nagato did not care at all how Tao Baibai resisted; he pushed forward lightly, and the power sufficient to destroy a Ninja Village erupted completely.

Boom!

Unlike the previous performance of Almighty Push colliding with 【Zhushu: Tingzhi Zhili】, this time, the entire space vibrated at the same frequency, and the destructive repulsive force acted indiscriminately on every inch of air.

Bai Cangshu saw the air in front of him shattering inch by inch under the action of two opposing forces. Those cracks, as if space itself were beginning to break, extended inch by inch from in front of Pain to in front of himself.

And under the action of 【Limitless】, it began to be continuously slowed down, but the space above, below, to the left, and to the right of Bai Cangshu was constantly cracking. This repulsive force had no blind spots.

In an instant, the requirement for Cursed Energy precision began to rise geometrically.

In Bai Cangshu's Consciousness Space, Gojo Satoru leaned sideways against the 【Heart Throne】. He could not seize control of this body, but when the other party drew him into the body, he could still perceive the situation in the outside world.

Seeing Bai Cangshu's incomplete Limitless struggling under such a destructive attack, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"Oh my, oh my, my technique isn't that easy to play around with."

He knew that the owner of this body was already an Immortal Body to a certain extent, so he was not worried at all that his host would die and become a lonely ghost. He just seized this rare opportunity to mock the guy who was, in a way, his own kind—an Outlier who was equally out of place with everyone.

Gojo Satoru deliberately tapped on the 【Heart Throne】.

"How about you give me control of the body? I can probably handle this kind of scene... maybe."

He spoke nonsense that was hard to tell if it was Arrogance or humility, which earned him Bai Cangshu's silence.

Bai Cangshu smiled at the corners of his mouth as he looked at Pain's indifferent face, feeling this terrifying attack capable of pulverizing dozens of kilometers of the surface, and gained a more intuitive sense of what Chakra as an energy could achieve.

The conversion rate is quite high, but... the destructiveness is not enough.

Subsequently, to Pain's slightly changed expression, that Tao Baibai actually spread his hands and deactivated that near-invincible defensive ability.

Bai Cangshu had already sensed that Catherine's Magic Carpet had flown far enough and was in the same direction as him; as long as the other party wasn't stupid, they definitely wouldn't let Ping Zhonghua die.

As for himself now, rather than struggling to resist this technique that was difficult to withstand, it was better to use his Immortal Body to personally experience the power of this technique.

He looked up at Pain—no, it should be said he was looking at Nagato behind Pain—and revealed an extremely cruel smile. Bai Cangshu was not only cruel to others, but equally cruel to himself.

"Nagato, I have come to experience the pain you are about to inflict..."

He spoke moving words that sounded like a hot-blooded protagonist, but his behavior was entirely that of a freak.

He released the 【Stopping Force】 of the Limitless, spread his hands, and did not even use 【Iron Block】, letting the terrifying power of Super Almighty Push slam into his body.

Boom! A terrifying force appeared from every angle of his body in an instant, as if a giant hand completely wrapping his body surface was about to crush Bai Cangshu's body directly.

A large number of epidermal cells began to die, 【Flame Dragon Scale】 triggered simultaneously, and at the same time, the crimson 【Solitary Jealous Fire】 was ignited. Bai Cangshu's physique began to refresh and rise continuously, and his defensive power also rose.

After a brief confrontation, his skin cracked, and then, following the appearance of the first wound, blood sprayed out.

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu's body, like a giant leaking balloon, was crushed in the air by a huge force, and then blown away by that powerful repulsive force.

He crashed into the ground with a boom, and accompanied by the complete collapse of the earth, he was buried underground.

Nagato stayed blankly in his hiding place. He began to be unable to understand Tao Baibai—is this guy a complete lunatic?!

No, he could feel that there was a Logic of his own in Tao Baibai's words.

But this kind of guy, clearly having such a frivolous attitude that completely lacked reverence for life, clearly possessing that space-time technique that could instantly change positions, and clearly possessing a defensive ability that could harden the body like steel, yet he used none of them.

Just for the sake of so-called... experiencing pain?!

Nagato felt exceptionally absurd at this moment. Although he wanted to use this technique to make the world feel pain, that pain should be the torment and suffering that others would encounter when they lost things because of this power.

How could someone really use their body to experience the pain of the technique Almighty Push?

The next moment, he understood the reason; the ground thousands of meters away exploded with a boom.

A fist reached out from beneath the ground, and although bloodstains remained on the arm, the flesh and blood had already recovered as before.

Bang!

The earth shattered, and that tall, cruelly smiling guy rose from the earth once again.

Nagato's Chakra was depleted at this moment, and Pain could not use other Ninja Arts for a while. The moment he fell from the air, a figure had already appeared in front of him.

His Rinnegan trembled. Although he captured the opponent's movement, his body was stiff, and his Body Flicker Technique was not as coherent, so he was grabbed by the throat in an instant.

Bai Cangshu had experienced the pain of having his skin and flesh almost crushed, but he did not feel lingering fear; on the contrary, he felt it was very novel.

Perhaps some people don't understand, but pain is actually a unique sensation, especially when that pain is not fatal and you know it won't cause any bad consequences; humans also have the pleasure of experiencing pain.

Just like when you have muscle soreness after exercising, but you still can't help but keep kneading and touching the sore spot.

Just like between some lovers, where some special punishment games are left behind.

Pain is also a kind of pleasure.

Bai Cangshu lifted Pain without effort. This corpse, which once belonged to Yahiko, was a major manifestation of the tragedy of the Naruto World, in that many Plot Characters in this world were very young when they died.

These teenagers, who were not even adults by the definition of the real world, began to think about what they should do to obtain happiness and how to let others obtain happiness because of the suffering of the world.

It is precisely because they are young that their thinking is incomplete.

But it is precisely because of this youth that the world is so dark.

When Bai Cangshu said that his 【Special Trial: Ultimate Benevolence】 was the most suitable for him, he was not joking; in his view, such a dark world was simply the best thing ever for someone like him!

In a world like this, even he would not be bound by any rules.

Ninjas have no principles to speak of; they shake hands and make peace today, only to pair off and kill each other tomorrow; they reach an alliance today, only to secretly break it tomorrow.

Bai Cangshu held Pain by the Deva Path, his gaze piercing through those Rinnegan to look at Nagato, who was controlling Pain; the cruel smile on the corner of his mouth was no longer mere posturing in Nagato's eyes—this was a guy cruel enough to treat everyone without discrimination.

"The so-called making the world feel pain is not something of this level, Nagato..."

"If you want to achieve that, you must figure out the Logic by which this world operates."

"The world will never stop because of the wailing and weeping of ordinary people like you; whether the world is in pain or not has nothing to do with those ordinary people in the Land of Fire, with those ninjas in Konoha Village, or even with the so-called Hokage..."

"The world is held only in the hands of the 【King】!"

Nagato did not continue to control the Deva Path, merely listening to the words of this madman.

Just then, a huge figure appeared in the distance; it was a turtle covered in spikes with three tails, which came ashore from the water with a massive commotion and then walked across the shattered earth.

Standing on top of this giant turtle was none other than Uchiha Shisui, who had been missing for several days.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui had only one eye open and had sustained many wounds, but he had indeed succeeded in capturing this Tailed Beast from the Mist Hidden Village.

Through the Rinnegan, Nagato also saw this scene.

Bai Cangshu continued.

"Nagato, if you want to make the world truly feel pain, go and make those true Kings of the World bleed."

"Only that kind of thing will make the world think about pain and feel pain, heh..."

Because of the depletion of his Chakra, Nagato did not refute him at this moment; strength is always the most powerful way to prove one's words, and even the stupidest plan can be realized as long as the person proposing it is strong enough.

Just like when Senju Hashirama distributed the Tailed Beasts in an attempt to balance the villages, there were no other constraints; simply because of the terrifying strength of Senju Hashirama that swept across the Ninja World, all the major Ninja Villages had to live in peace with him.

At this moment, Nagato also began to think about that so-called 【King of the World】...

He began to think about who the true initiators of those wars were, and who exactly had the qualifications to decide whether there would be war or not.

Bai Cangshu was still not satisfied; he shook the body of the Deva Path to make Nagato listen to him quietly.

"I have a plan, a 【Most Benevolent and Most Virtuous】 plan..."
