Clang!
Napoleon, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, clashed with Kurai from a distance, tearing the sky and making the sea wail. A powerful Haki surged to the heavens, and then the Divine Departure gained the upper hand.
How could Renji's Divine Departure, charged with such power, be resisted by Linlin's ordinary moves?
Boom!
Under Linlin's terrified gaze, the power of Divine Departure shredded her Haki, wildly tearing at her like a man-eating beast.
At this moment, under the attack of that supremely powerful Conqueror's Haki and slash, even her body, known as an iron balloon, suffered immense damage.
"Zeus! Tenman Daijizai Tenjin!"
Mobilizing all her strength in an emergency, with Linlin and Zeus working together, terrifying lightning serpents, thicker than a human, manifested. A thunderous roar intertwined into a forest of lightning, frantically resisting Divine Departure.
Even so, Divine Departure still left a horrifying wound on Linlin's body.
Purple lightning brewed, an astonishing light flashed from within Zeus, and a terrifyingly powerful thunderous roar was poised to strike.
Sensing the dangerous aura within that lightning, Renji's Cursed Energy surged instantly, and an eerie, ominous aura permeated the sea.
Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!
Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!
Within the domain, all colors were erased, leaving only the black and white background of the world. A white bone shrine descended, bringing with it mountains of corpses and seas of blood. An incredibly dense aura of bloody slaughter filled the entire space amidst the desolate black and white.
With the simultaneous deployment of the dual domains, in just an instant, Linlin felt the entire space plunge into another realm, as if it were the Nine Hells, the deepest fear of the human heart. Her hairs stood on end, and Linlin's terror reached its peak.
It's those two techniques from the intel!
The invisible slashes and that technique that killed Whitebeard back then?!
She had been on guard, yet she still fell for it. Damn it!
In Linlin's terrified eyes, the next moment, countless slashes landed on her iron balloon-like body. Linlin, sensing the danger, immediately activated her Armament Haki for protection.
The Lv. 7 Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, in 0.5 seconds, only managed to shave off less than half a meter of Linlin's flesh.
Intense pain spread through her body, mind, and soul as Linlin became a blood-soaked figure.
"Not just my body! Something is attacking my soul!!!" Linlin's shriek echoed within Renji's domain.
Unlike others, Linlin, having eaten the Soul-Soul Fruit, actually possessed a soul barrier capable of defending against the attacks of Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void.
If it were two years ago, a Lv. 5 Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void would have needed more than ten seconds to break through this soul barrier.
However, now, Renji's Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void had been upgraded to Lv. 7.
"Zeus! Hurry!"
In less than a second, Linlin's soul barrier was torn apart. After barely managing to issue her last command, her brain crashed and stopped.
Losing her conscious will, the Haki entwined around Linlin's body began to weaken at an alarming rate.
"Mama! I'm coming to save you!"
The purple light in the sky brewed to its limit, and a lightning pulse, even larger than Kaido's Heat Breath back then, shot towards Renji.
Renji watched the terrifying purple lightning rage within the domain. Wherever it passed, the surging lightning even incinerated Cursed Energy. If this attack were allowed to explode, his domain would undoubtedly suffer severe damage.
"Quite capable, aren't you, Big Mom? I didn't expect you to last this long in a one-on-one fight." A cold smile appeared on Renji's lips.
He clenched his palm, disregarding the backlash from continuously mobilizing Cursed Energy without rest, and continued to frantically gather hellish Cursed Energy onto the blade of Kurai.
Just as the purple lightning pulse was about to engulf Renji—
"Fuga!"
Buzz—
With a single slash, that terrifying purple lightning pulse was instantly split in two. Divine Flame, after breaking through the attack, landed heavily on Zeus.
Renji was now capable of slicing souls, and Zeus, as a soul creature, suffered a devastating blow after taking this Divine Flame strike.
Zeus was split in two with a pained expression. Even after absorbing a large amount of soul power to evolve, he simply couldn't withstand this level of damage.
Just like Prometheus earlier, his soul was instantly extinguished, and his consciousness erased.
However, the next second, Renji's brows furrowed slightly.
He raised Kurai, preparing to deliver the most fatal blow to Linlin with lightning speed, when under the observation of his Heavenly Six Eyes, Zeus, which should have lost consciousness and been split in two, suddenly began to surge and expand. It was going to explode?
Renji's pupils constricted. Was this a move Linlin had prepared beforehand?
Buzz!
Purple lightning roared, filling the entire domain. Every corner of the air within the domain was covered in destructive purple lightning arcs.
Crack... Crack...
On the sea, a giant black sphere rapidly developed countless cracks on its surface, and simultaneously, streaks of lightning spread out from those cracks.
The next second—
Boom!
Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void shattered!
Lightning exploded everywhere, shattering Renji's domain, and then began to rage and dance wildly across the sea.
Amidst the dancing lightning, a figure flickered, her eyes glowing with a pale blue divine light.
Linlin, having broken free from the domain, regained some consciousness, but still couldn't speak. Looking at the approaching Renji, her monstrous vitality and combat power became evident at this moment.
Sizzle!
At this critical moment of life and death, the recovered Linlin immediately sacrificed her lifespan, exchanging it for a full-power burst.
The blade of Kurai, entwined with Haki and hellish Cursed Energy, was the first to plunge into Linlin's chest. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit took effect, and terrifying force instantly churned Linlin's insides into chaos, while her soul also endured inhuman agony.
"You brat! Let's die together!"
Linlin's face was as ferocious as an ancient hag. Her once corpulent figure and face had become gaunt and skeletal, and coupled with the large amount of flesh shaved off by Renji's domain slashes, her appearance at this moment was horrifying beyond compare.
Life force and lifespan rapidly drained away. In her state of sacrificing lifespan, Linlin's palm was entwined with both soul power and Conqueror's Haki. She then grabbed Renji's body.
Fire and lightning combined, and under the effect of the Soul-Soul Fruit, with Napoleon as the main body, a giant female light-image formed.
Mother's Visit Cannon: 3000 Leagues of Misery.
Held in the hand of the now deranged Linlin, Renji still wore a smile.
Blue and red light waves shone dazzlingly. At the center of the previous giant wave vortex was an enormous Blue.
And Red, which Renji had set up before the domain expanded, frantically swelled, finally coming into contact.
Unrestricted Hollow Technique: Purple!
Boom!
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully killing...]
