The battle between Namikaze Kirito and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was meant to test his limits.
If he could not even crush Kaguya, then talking about overturning the order of the world was nothing more than empty arrogance.
Kaguya's bone rods were lethal to anyone else.
The All-Killing Ash Bones carried an absolute power of disintegration. Once pierced by them, the body would crumble into ash from the inside out.
But to Namikaze Kirito, that power was not enough.
Putting aside his Six Paths-level strength, his upgraded Armament Haki alone could offset part of that destructive force.
But simple defense was not what he wanted.
The power of the Yami Yami no Mi had already been completely sublimated. Even the power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan could be absorbed by it.
Light.
Matter.
Chakra.
Space.
Everything could be dragged into that darkness and swallowed.
At this point, calling it darkness was no longer accurate.
It was gravity.
A black hole.
A power that devoured all things.
However, the Gura Gura no Mi was still in the middle of its own sublimation. Namikaze Kirito had never been able to grasp what it still lacked.
But now, after seeing Kaguya release the All-Killing Ash Bones, he finally understood.
The power of tremors still lacked a true concept of destruction.
And wasn't the ash-destroying power of the All-Killing Ash Bones the perfect nourishment for that?
The moment that thought crossed his mind, thick black mist rose from Namikaze Kirito's palm.
It gathered, twisted, and formed a dark vortex.
"Black Vortex."
The All-Killing Ash Bones rushing toward him from every direction were instantly pulled off course.
One after another, they flew straight into the black vortex in his hand.
Under that darkness, all power was dragged in, swallowed, and reduced to nothing.
The instant that black aura appeared, Kaguya's Byakugan widened.
That power…
It made her feel uneasy.
For the first time, an ominous chill passed through her heart.
She tried to see through its nature with her Byakugan.
But the moment her gaze touched that darkness—
Kaguya immediately looked away.
For one brief instant, she felt as though even her vision was being pulled into it.
If she kept staring, she would be swallowed.
That darkness could even absorb a gaze?
Now she finally understood why her clansmen had been devoured by this boy.
"This child…"
Kaguya muttered softly.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Black Zetsu, hidden inside her sleeve, did not dare make a sound. At this moment, he was afraid even the slightest interruption might disturb his mother.
More than that…
He had also begun to feel how troublesome Namikaze Kirito truly was.
For the first time, Black Zetsu almost regretted resurrecting his mother.
Meanwhile, Namikaze Kirito continued absorbing the destructive power of the All-Killing Ash Bones through the darkness.
The instant that faint trace of destruction entered his body, it fused with the power of tremors.
He could feel it clearly.
Once the Gura Gura no Mi completed its sublimation and gained that destructive attribute…
Its tremors would no longer simply shatter space.
They would erase everything they touched.
"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki…"
Namikaze Kirito slowly raised his head, a smile spreading across his face.
"I should thank you for this gift."
His smile remained calm.
"But sorry. I still intend to kill you."
"I cannot wait much longer for the birth of a new order."
That smile made both Kaguya and Black Zetsu feel a chill deep in their hearts.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Seeing Namikaze Kirito about to move, Kaguya immediately opened a spatial rift, intending to retreat first.
But the moment the black portal opened—
A fist shot out from within it.
It was Namikaze Kirito.
Kaguya was not the only one who could use Yomotsu Hirasaka.
BOOM!
Because the Gura Gura no Mi was still undergoing sublimation, this punch did not carry the power of tremors.
Instead, it was wrapped in Armament Haki.
And faintly around it…
There was even a trace of Conqueror's Haki coating.
In the world of pirates, this was the power used to strike without direct contact—the advanced form of Conqueror's Haki.
A power capable of injuring monsters like Kaidō.
And now, after being strengthened by Namikaze Kirito, its force had grown even further.
His fist slammed directly into Kaguya's head.
The air exploded.
Before Kaguya could even understand how Namikaze Kirito had appeared there, she was sent flying.
Her body crashed into a distant iceberg, shattering it completely.
A single punch brought down an entire mountain of ice.
"Damn brat…"
Kaguya slowly rose from the collapsing ice.
"To treat me like this…"
Crack.
Before she could fully steady herself, one of the horns on her forehead snapped and fell to the ground.
Half of her face was covered in blood.
The injury was severe.
But almost as soon as it appeared, the wound began healing.
That was Kaguya's confidence.
It was also the reason even the Sage of Six Paths had been unable to truly kill her.
After eating the fruit of the God Tree, Kaguya had become immortal.
She could be sealed.
But killing her was nearly impossible.
Namikaze Kirito showed no intention of giving her time to recover.
The moment he saw her wounds healing, he rushed forward again.
"Do not look down on me!"
Seeing him charge at her once more, Kaguya's expression finally filled with anger.
Did this boy truly believe she was someone he could toy with?
Ridiculous.
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Kaguya unleashed her strongest taijutsu.
In an instant, countless gigantic fist shadows filled the sky, raining down toward Namikaze Kirito like a storm.
Facing that overwhelming attack, Namikaze Kirito did not slow down.
He silently covered his body with Haki and forced his way through.
One fist shadow after another slammed into him, producing heavy, muffled impacts.
But they could not stop him.
They could not even reduce his speed.
"Amenominaka!"
Seeing this, Kaguya immediately activated her dimensional technique.
Yomotsu Hirasaka had failed against him.
But Amenominaka belonged entirely to her.
This was not something he could simply copy.
The frozen world changed again.
In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow vanished.
The two of them appeared inside a supergravity dimension.
A terrifying pressure descended from every direction.
Anyone who entered this space would be crushed to the ground instantly.
Even Kaguya herself was no exception.
Although she was the creator of these dimensions, she still had to obey their rules.
In other words, each dimension was like a small world.
The creator controlled it.
But even the creator had to follow its laws.
That was also why Namikaze Kirito did not fear the so-called order of the world.
As long as something entered the world, it had to obey the rules.
And something bound by rules was not truly terrifying.
Under the sudden supergravity, even Namikaze Kirito's charge was forcibly stopped.
Unlike Kaguya, however, he did not fall to the ground.
His movements became heavy, but he still remained standing.
His gaze fell on Kaguya, who was not far away.
"You dragged me into this space, but you have to obey its rules as well."
Namikaze Kirito spoke calmly.
"That means you cannot attack freely either."
"And your so-called killing techniques have already failed against me."
Kaguya said nothing.
Because she knew he was right.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
All-Killing Ash Bones.
Both had already been used.
Neither had caused Namikaze Kirito any real damage.
In all the years she had lived, Kaguya had never seen someone like him.
Even among her own clan, there was no one this strange.
But would she admit defeat?
Of course not.
She was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
The progenitor of chakra.
Her eyes hardened.
A decision had clearly formed in her heart.
Then she raised her pale hand.
The space changed once more.
The crushing supergravity disappeared.
The world around them transformed from the supergravity dimension into a burning sea of magma.
