Chapter 295: Trinity, The Final Battle (Part II)

The monster from the Jujutsu World, bolstered by a level of Cursed Energy stronger than ever before and combined with the precise manipulation of the 【Six Eyes】, displayed unparalleled destructive power.

【Hollow Purple】, radiating a black-red luster, was fired in continuous succession; the battered Elden Beast kept fleeing into the void, but no matter where it appeared, the new attacks were always drawing closer.

"Ha~"

Gojo Satoru was by now unable to realize how terrifying he had become in his current state; he was completely swept up by the Killing Intent Wave, entering an extremely fearsome state.

Boom!

Boom-boom!

Explosions continued to erupt from several kilometers, even tens of kilometers away; those were the terrifying sounds of missed 【Hollow Purple】 shots impacting mountains and the earth.

This combination of intense repulsive and attractive forces caused annihilating damage to all matter.

Uchiha Shisui watched Tao Baibai, who was "fully releasing his power"; that posture was as if he could destroy the world single-handedly.

Moo!

The Elden Beast kept attempting to shift through space, but its speed was far too slow compared to Gojo Satoru's Instant Movement.

Before long, it was struck by a 【Zi】, and a massive hole appeared in its body.

The Elden Beast wailed as it plummeted from the sky; its golden blood was far more concentrated than the radiance that fell from the Golden Tree, and the power of Grace it emitted was even more intense.

Many people or creatures upon whom the blood dripped instantly saw golden luster bloom in their eyes.

Gojo Satoru paid them no mind; seeing those people and beasts, he casually struck them down with a single blow.

The Killing Intent Wave grew increasingly intense; Bai Cangshu's consciousness merely watched this scene with a smile. He knew very well that after today, he would inevitably be temporarily dominated by the killing intent, and it would be difficult to consciously make any plans before returning to the space.

But the entire script had already been written.

Whether it was Gojo Satoru or Uchiha Madara occupying the lead, Bai Cangshu could observe his surroundings through the body's senses at any time.

Naturally, Uchiha Shisui, who appeared not far away, was also seen by him.

He knew that once he completely entered the state of "Killing Intent Bai," that overly kind Uchiha would, out of concern for his power, release his final, precious 【Kotoamatsukami】 of the last decade or so onto him once again.

And it would still be... completely selfless.

Bai Cangshu's eyes held a mocking look. He did not actually look down on Uchiha Shisui; on the contrary, to possess such a terrifying weapon yet still be able to suppress one's own ambition—

Uchiha Shisui was a man of character.

But the irony was that the other party was born in the wrong world; in this world, such benevolence often did not lead to the ending he wanted.

Whether in the original work, or now...

"Madara, could it be that I really am some great villain?"

Bai Cangshu looked at Uchiha Madara, whose soul was squeezed to the other side, and asked sincerely. At this moment, he felt that compared to Uchiha Shisui's mind, which was clear to the point of being almost simple, he had practically become one of those scheming arch-villains from the scripts~

Uchiha Madara looked coldly at this host, who seemed to have gone completely insane, yet whose soul body solidity and soul strength both overwhelmingly surpassed his own and that frivolous white-haired man.

"Hmph, can you not even see your own nature clearly..."

Uchiha Madara let out a cold snort, unwilling to answer such a worthless question.

To him, good and evil had no great value; as long as it was for his ultimate goal, then no matter how others evaluated it, it was useless to him.

And at this moment, with the three souls kneaded into one body, what kind of nature the three truly possessed could not be hidden at all.

A guy whose nature and empathy as a 【Vessel】 were likely so faint they were about to disappear was actually questioning whether he was a good person.

Uchiha Madara only felt that this host was truly absurd on a level beyond power.

"Hey hey hey, Madara, I can't just pretend I didn't sense that thought; are you, an alien remnant, actually questioning my human nature..."

Intense soul power filled the Consciousness Space; Uchiha Madara was indignant but increasingly suppressed.

He could feel that beneath the host's eccentric words and deeds lay that "anthropomorphic" nature.

It was as if someone had taken material far superior to an ordinary human soul and, with extremely exquisite blade-work, polished it into the shape of a human.

He would even be more obsessed with appearing human than other humans, but in the final analysis, beneath that exterior, beneath that human embryo, was a completely alien soul.

No human would be so careless with their own soul and self-will; this guy called Tao Baibai did not take his own body, his own free will, or even his soul seriously at all.

He allowed a large number of souls and yin spirits to reside within, and even actively incited himself and other yin spirits to fight for and control the body.

And now, to achieve a certain goal, he had deliberately drawn that dangerous power into his body, completely swallowing and controlling the consciousness of the body.

This kind of behavior was simply not something a 【Vessel】 should do; the other party lacked the human instinct for self-preservation.

Bai Cangshu read Uchiha Madara's thoughts and judgments; he frowned, indeed realizing some of his own peculiarities.

But soon, he revealed a smile.

Pfft!

The light of the Golden Tree had by now obscured the entire sky; Gojo Satoru kept using Instant Movement, chasing the Elden Beast as it rapidly traversed space and distance.

Seeing the larger-scale bloodshed and the cycle of Return to the Tree that resulted from the Golden Order manipulating a large number of humans and ninjas into mutual conquest, the Golden Tree was by now likely nearly ten thousand meters tall.

Konoha Village had become a village at the foot of the Golden Tree.

And the Elden Beast was wailing at this time, its golden blood trailing behind it like ribbons.

On the Elden Beast's illusory body, a massive hole with a diameter of over five meters appeared near its head.

There were also a large number of wounds all over its body.

This kind of monster with a massive frame and low evasion ability was, whether for Bai Cangshu, Gojo Satoru, or Uchiha Madara, a very poor match.

All three of their abilities were very well-suited for causing massive damage.

Gojo Satoru's eyes were already completely shrouded in purple; his state was also not good. The Killing Intent Wave was not a docile power, and the increasingly surging Killing Intent Wave had begun to make it impossible for Gojo Satoru to manipulate Cursed Energy with too much precision.

Even the Six Eyes had begun to be interfered with.

But seeing the giant beast shot down, Gojo Satoru still revealed a cruel smile; his figure shifted in the air, head down with hands behind his back, and he dove toward the Elden Beast in a posture akin to free-falling.

Intense Cursed Energy wrapped around his fist; he had finally reached the end-point of a Cursed User—throwing punches.

After teasing Madara, Bai Cangshu teased Gojo Satoru; the other party's posture was insane, completely different from the elegance he usually maintained, which made Bai Cangshu feel it was interesting.

Hu~

The air whistled violently; the passive defense of the Limitless around Gojo Satoru's body had already vanished, as he had no heart to manipulate such things.

At this moment, he only hoped to land that explosive punch.

A pitch-black flash appeared in front of his fist; he had not yet fully thrown the punch, but surging, erupting Cursed Energy began to spew from his fist like a Cursed Energy cannon.

This was an extremely inelegant, extremely inefficient way to use Cursed Energy, but... simple, direct.

The Elden Beast let out a mournful cry, a pitch-black human silhouette tore through the air and appeared, throwing a punch that made the air howl like ghosts and wolves.

Pfft—Bang!

The Cursed Energy first spewed backward due to the intense Force, but as the fist struck the Elden Beast's head, pitch-black Cursed Energy erupted outward, and that pitch-black flash instantly pierced completely through the golden sky, stabbing into the earth.

The sound of the earth shattering followed only then.

Gojo Satoru's mouth curled up unconsciously, revealing a smile.

The golden Elden Beast shattered in mid-air, its flesh and blood turning into broken golden meteors, crashing down toward the ground.

With red hair streaming, a man whose stature had elongated to nearly three meters appeared from within the flesh and blood, his entire body radiating a golden luster; that incomparably huge golden greatsword fell into his hand, transforming back into the 【Golden Law Greatsword】.

A golden sword light lit up in an instant, and the next moment it had already slashed into Bai Cangshu's chest, golden flames and blazing fire igniting simultaneously.

Bang!

In the air, scorching white Ripples expanded in circles, and the immense force shot Bai Cangshu's body abruptly into the ground.

Boom!

The ground at the mountain peak rose up like lake water into a huge gully, expanding in a ripple pattern in all directions, then cracking inch by inch and beginning to collapse; the forest was completely destroyed in an instant.

Only then did the golden meteor fragments crash down from the sky.

Bai Cangshu stroked the depth of the sword wound on his chest, which had almost cut him in half at the waist.

He looked into the sky, where the completely god-man-transformed Ping Zhongshi held the Golden Law Greatsword high, golden light expanding from the greatsword, and flaming meteors shooting toward the surroundings.

The mountains were ignited, a scene of total Calamity.

"Tao Baibai, the Greater Will shall grant you punishment."

As the god-man Ping Zhongshi's words fell, it was as if some kind of will truly cast its gaze down.

Bai Cangshu did not answer; he also raised his right hand high.

Crackle!

A muffled thunderclap exploded.

Bai Cangshu pointed his finger at the sky, and dark clouds gathered instantly; that was the power of the planet's will, and at this very moment, Bai Cangshu's actions happened to truly conform to the requirements of the planet's will.

Complying with the power of 【Wild Light Concealment】, it was as if a will simultaneously descended into the air.

Ping Zhongshi aimed at Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu, however, merely pointed distantly at the sky.

"Accept the will of Heaven; this is the Merciful Release that woman grants you."

【Fate Lightning Arrow】!

Ring!

The golden sword light descended, as if a huge sword nearly a thousand meters long were slashing down at Bai Cangshu, and golden prayer light unfolded in the air.

But immediately after, the world suddenly went dark.

That was not the arrival of night, but a lightning bolt too dazzling, stealing all the light in the world.

Crackle!

Rumble!

The world lit up once again, and rolling thunder echoed in all directions.

Between Heaven and Earth, there was only Bai Cangshu, standing on the top of the completely destroyed mountain, holding his right hand high; that golden giant sword shattered in mid-air.

The charred body of the god-man Ping Zhongshi fell silently from the sky.

【You have killed the God-man: Ping Zhongshi】

【You have completed the Special Trial: Ultimate Benevolence optional quest: Merciful Release】

【You have obtained the Special Sequence: Virtue Sequence I: Merciful Release】

A brilliant white light appeared from Heaven and Earth, condensing on the back of Bai Cangshu's hand, almost completely covering that touch of scarlet.
