Chapter 209: It’s Time to End This


    Chapter 209: It''s Time to End This


    The trajectory of the Deva Path Pain flying through the air resembled a parabola.


    Struck heavily by a punch from Hagoromo Gengetsu, it soared into the air, reached a critical height, then suddenly began to descend. It crashed into the ground several times, creating deep craters, and rolled more than ten times before finally coming to a stop.


    Even so, Hagoromo Gengetsu could sense that the Deva Path Pain was still able to move.


    "Pretty tough, huh?"


    Hagoromo Gengetsu didn''t give the enemy any chance to breathe. He moved swiftly towards the Deva Path Pain.


    Despite the Deva Path Pain''s Akatsuki robe being in tatters and its chakra transmitter damaged, it quickly rose from the ground. Had the five other Pain bodies not been destroyed, the power would have been concentrated in it, and it would have been destroyed like the others with that single punch from Hagoromo Gengetsu.


    "Such strength!!"


    Amazed, the Deva Path Pain half-knelt on the ground, bringing its hands together. With a massive amount of chakra infused, a black sphere far more powerful than any previous incarnation formed between its hands.


    As the black sphere rose rapidly into the sky, the Deva Path Pain shouted:


    "Chibaku Tensei!"


    In an instant, a terrifying gravitational force erupted from the black sphere.


    Crack! Crack!@@@@


    Flowers, trees, and debris on the ground were uprooted and pulled towards the surface of the black sphere.


    Following that, amidst the sounds of the earth cracking under the strain, massive chunks of soil began to rise from the ground, rapidly covering the black sphere.


    Soon, layers of rock enveloped the sphere.


    Originally the size of a ping-pong ball, the Chibaku Tensei quickly grew to the size of a small room.


    Even so, the gravitational force from above not only didn''t stop but intensified.


    Unlike in the original story, where the Deva Path Pain''s Chibaku Tensei was used in a weakened state against Naruto, the power of this technique was immensely stronger now, as the Deva Path Pain still had plenty of chakra left.


    Even Hagoromo Gengetsu had to stop and use all his strength to prevent being pulled into the sky, becoming part of the multi-layered disk.


    But soon, the pressure from the gravitational pull and the force beneath him caused the ground to crack under the strain. The soil turned into countless fragments and flew towards the Chibaku Tensei.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu was suddenly suspended in mid-air.


    Unable to stand firm like Superman lifting an airplane, he could only rise with the pull.


    Seeing this, the Deva Path Pain grimaced and shouted:


    "Increase the gravitational pull!"


    In Sage Mode, he could clearly sense the chakra flow in the rod and quickly found its source.


    "It''s time to end this."


    Hagoromo Gengetsu moved again, setting off.


    "Cough, cough, cough."


    Ten kilometers away from the battlefield, Nagato could no longer hold back. His coughing intensified, with blood splattering like plum blossoms onto the bedding.


    "Nagato! What''s happening?"


    Konan hurriedly administered some medicine to Nagato.


    Nagato, however, seemed unaware, his eyes dim as he murmured:


    "Pain... has been defeated!"


    Since mastering the Rinnegan''s power, Nagato had felt less fear even towards his former mentor, Uchiha Madara.


    As for the ninja world, he had not believed anyone could be his opponent.


    This confidence was the foundation for his plans to capture the Tailed Beasts, create the most powerful weapon, and conquer the entire ninja world to bring about peace.


    But today, all his reliance and pride were completely shattered.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu!


    That man, who once stood alongside Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha and had returned from the underworld, possessed an unfathomable strength!


    Even the Sage of the Six Paths'' Rinnegan was no match for him.


    Reflecting on it now, Hagoromo Gengetsu used only a few techniques throughout the battle, making Nagato continuously struggle and eventually overcome him with ease.


    Such power, how could it be any different from the legendary Sage of Six Paths?


    Nagato''s face turned ashen.


    With such a person existing, there was no hope for his meticulously prepared plans to succeed.


    "Nagato, we should retreat."


    Konan, shocked by Nagato''s defeat, still had more pressing matters to attend to.


    "It''s too late."


    Seeing Konan trying to help him escape, Nagato sighed deeply:


    "Konan, you should go. Find a quiet place with the remnants of me and Yahiko, and live out your life in peace."
