Seeing this originally terrifying scene, Ling couldn't help but let out a giggle. The skin around her neck tightened to an extremely narrow point where it had been twisted once.
"Damn brat!" Hidan realized he had made a mistake with his technique and, enduring the severe pain, twisted his neck back. This time it aligned properly, and his muscles quickly reconnected, bones grew, and Hidan was fully revived.
"This Immortality is very suitable as a test subject. For example, for transplanting Hashirama cells or conducting some inhumane experiments."
Ling was very satisfied with Hidan's Immortality and planned to capture him alive, then bring him back to Konoha for Senju Tobirama, who was revived by Edo Tensei, to research.
"Brat! What kind of look is that?! Are you treating me like merchandise?!"
Hidan, having been trafficked as a child during his tumultuous life, naturally understood what Uchiha Rei's gaze meant, which only infuriated him further.
However, before he could charge again, the Evil God stopped him. The Evil God looked up at Uchiha Rei; it noticed that Uchiha Rei seemed able to see him.
"Ignorant female human cub, and a hybrid of the alien Ōtsutsuki! Hmph!"
Ling could hear the Evil God's whispers, but being called a hybrid angered her a bit; no one had ever dared to speak to her like that.
"Are you the one called the Evil God? Do you dare say that to the Six Paths Sage? You're just a bully who picks on the weak..."
Ling, hailing from Zu'an, never tolerated anyone's nonsense. All sorts of curses and insults poured out, each word stabbing into the Evil God's heart.
"Annoying hybrid! I grant you death!" The Evil God's finger shot out a crimson ray of light. Its speed was absolutely light speed. Although Ling couldn't react to light speed, she could react to the Evil God's hand movement.
She instinctively used Flying Thunder God to shift her position, and the ray missed, cutting a tiny crack directly into the ground.
But Ling could sense that the crack was hundreds of meters deep, which was incredible. Ling had tried cutting the ground with Water Severing Wave, but it couldn't achieve such an effect.
"Is that all? Can't hit me! Annoyed? Nyeh nyeh nyeh."
As long as she could mess with someone's mind, Ling didn't care if she was a little scummy. As long as she could infuriate the Evil God, that was enough. In fact, she succeeded.
"You hateful bug!"
The Evil God's body emitted countless rays of light, which all curved and spread around Uchiha Rei, forming a blood-colored cage to trap Uchiha Rei to death.
Ling felt that even space had become dense, and trying to use Flying Thunder God to leave would require more Chakra. However, Ling had plenty of Chakra.
Watching Uchiha Rei fly out of his attack range again, the Evil God was somewhat annoyed. Space was not within his authority, so he couldn't trap this brat at all.
"Hmph! A descendant of the Six Paths Sage, and possessing a portion of Six Paths Power. This god will give the Six Paths Sage some face. Get lost quickly! Don't wait for this god to change his mind."
The Evil God had no way to deal with Uchiha Rei and knew that this brat had Six Paths Power left by the Six Paths Sage, fearing that attacking the younger one would provoke the older one.
"Give the Six Paths Sage some face? Then I beg you, please don't give the Six Paths Sage any face, okay?"
Ling understood that the Evil God definitely had no way to deal with her; otherwise, he would have killed her long ago. Why would he only start spouting threats now?
The Evil God did indeed have a way to deal with Uchiha Rei, but the cost of that method was too great, and he didn't want to waste it on Uchiha Rei at all.
However, Uchiha Rei's repeated provocations meant that if he truly did nothing, how could he spread his faith and how could he recover to his peak?
"Brat! You forced my hand. Today, you will surely die! Even if the Six Paths Sage comes, it will be the same!"
The Evil God released half of his divine power, forcibly suppressing the space in this area, and then, relying on his own divinity, forcibly took over the natural laws of this area.
Space was confined, gravity became chaotic, air was sucked dry, and light was stripped away. This was meant to instantly kill Uchiha Rei.
"Holy crap! Is this Domain Expansion?" Ling felt this operation was somewhat familiar, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of operation, which had a similar effect to Domain Expansion.
"I'm screwed. I don't have Domain Expansion. Fighting within someone else's domain naturally puts me at a huge disadvantage."
Ling fully activated her Wind Release Chakra Mode, resisting the chaotic gravity and divine power erosion within this black and red domain.
However, even the Wind King Barrier created by Sage Art Chakra could not completely block this erosion. Uchiha Rei could only apply the defensive capabilities of Tiger Burial to her shield.
With the addition of the Cursed Energy system, the combined power of the two systems finally allowed Uchiha Rei to move unimpeded within this domain.
"Unseen power, how interesting!"
The Evil God noticed the power activated by Cursed Energy. Although he could only barely sense the Cursed Energy, he knew it was definitely not a power that belonged to the Chakra system.
The Evil God instantly appeared behind Uchiha Rei. This was true instantaneous movement, and he kicked Uchiha Rei flying with one blow, nearly shattering her shield.
But even though it didn't shatter, it consumed a large amount of Chakra and Cursed Energy, which made Ling feel a bit frustrated. She had always been the one to torment others, but she didn't expect to experience it herself today.
"It's true instantaneous movement, and there's no consumption. This should be a built-in ability of the Evil God's domain."
Ling analyzed the Evil God's information. As soon as the Shadow Lightning activated, the ground around her was completely covered in Shadow Lightning, like oil.
Although Shadow Lightning couldn't harm the Evil God, it could amplify Uchiha Rei's perception. In this Evil God's domain, every additional boost Ling had meant an extra chance of victory.
Ling counted the intervals of the Evil God's instantaneous movements while running at extreme speed, leaving trails of Shadow Lightning coverage behind her.
As long as the Evil God touched the Shadow Lightning left by Uchiha Rei, Ling could instantly react and launch an attack.
The next moment, a whooshing sound came from Ling's back right. Ling raised her sword to block, and a huge force struck her. Ling was inevitably sent flying.
"Three seconds, or even shorter." Ling roughly estimated the interval of the Evil God's instantaneous movements and swung her sword, releasing dozens of wind blades that covered the Evil God's surroundings.
These wind blades not only carried the reversal effect of the Technique of Ten Divisions but also condensed sharp Wind Release Chakra, powerful enough to cut through a Tailed Beast's defenses.
The Evil God treated these wind blades as nothing, letting them cut him. In fact, these wind blades did cut the Evil God's body, causing numerous wounds on his surface.
"Interesting ability, to actually be able to hurt me. I'm willing to call you the strongest person below the Six Paths. Even Indra and Ashura back then couldn't do anything to me!"
The Evil God raised his hand and licked the wound on his arm. In the blink of an eye, the wounds on his body had completely healed. He truly lived up to his reputation as an entity capable of bestowing Immortality upon others.
"Super strong recovery, extreme speed, super strong defense, immense power, bizarre divine techniques—this is truly a tough fight."
Ling felt a bit tricky for the first time. She would rather fight Uchiha Madara than battle this Evil God. Ling and the Evil God were both beings of similar nature.
