"Amenominaka!"
Just as Allen had anticipated, after tasting the terrifying power of the Sulfuras Sword, Kaguya completely abandoned the idea of close-quarters combat. She immediately used her technique to teleport Obito and Allen into two entirely different dimensions.
The location where Allen landed was a vast, white expanse of glaciers. Clearly, Kaguya intended to use the environmental factors to minimize the effectiveness of his fiery weapon. However, she knew that dealing with Allen would be no easy task; after dumping him in this world of ice and snow, she vanished instantly.
She had likely gone to handle Obito in the other dimension.
"Interesting. Trying to divide and conquer, are we?"
Feeling the terrifyingly low temperatures around him, Allen curled his lips into a playful smile. He began to survey this independent space created by the Rinne Sharingan.
It was evident that this was not a complete world, but rather a construct made through chakra and Yin-Yang Release. Furthermore, it wasn't actually as vast as it appeared to the eye; it used a certain method to deceive the senses and vision, creating an effect similar to a Möbius strip.
Just as Allen was about to attempt to damage or modify the surrounding space, he suddenly detected movement behind him through his En and Track Humanoids ability.
A split second later...
Kaguya phased through from another dimension, raising her hand to manifest a massive barrage of hard, bone-chilling ice shards, raining them down all at once.
"Ninety-Nine Ice Spears!"
"Naïve! You think an attack of this level would work on me?"
Allen sneered and instantly activated his Transmutation Nen ability, flash-melting all the ice shards into scalding water vapor. The area was immediately transformed into a thick, white zone of mist.
However, since Kaguya possessed the Byakugan, the fog served no purpose in obscuring her vision. Similarly, Allen had both his En and Track Humanoids active, allowing him to clearly sense the enemy's every move.
"Is this... ninjutsu? No, that's not right. This isn't ninjutsu, and it's not even caused by chakra. Is it a power system from another world?" Kaguya stared at the dense mist formed by the steam, a look of astonishment appearing on her face.
"Mother! This is a power called Nen! From what I know, it also functions by controlling life force to manifest various incredible abilities," Black Zetsu hurriedly emerged to explain.
"Nen? I see!" Kaguya nodded thoughtfully. "However, this energy indeed does not fall under my control the way chakra does."
But just as she prepared to launch a second attack, she suddenly felt the hair all over her body stand on end, as if she had been locked onto by something terrifying. Through her Byakugan, she saw Allen on the other side drawing his bowstring, channeling a horrifying amount of life energy into a single arrow.
"This is…?!!!!"
Kaguya's pupils dilated. Without a word, she immediately opened a spatial portal and dove in, intending to evade by leaving this world of ice.
Yet, the moment she entered another dimension filled with crimson flames, a terrifying black arrow pierced through space and distance. It struck with absolute precision, entering through her back and erupting from her chest.
BOOM!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion and tremors, Kaguya's entire upper body below the neck was instantly shredded by the staggering energy impact. It wasn't just the relatively fragile flesh and organs; even her bones were pulverized into dust and scattered by the wind.
"Mother!"
Black Zetsu truly lived up to his title as the most filial son in the world of shinobi. Despite suffering severe injuries himself in the explosion, he immediately liquefied, helping Kaguya reconnect her head to her body.
Within a few short seconds, this woman who possessed near-infinite chakra was restored to her original state. However, this cross-dimensional attack had clearly shaken her. With a solemn expression, she demanded, "How did this happen? I clearly left that dimension. How could his arrow still track and hit me?"
"Because of the ability of these eyes, of course!"
Following a familiar voice, Allen tore through space, stepping from the world of ice into this dimension of scorching flames.
There was no doubt: he had just utilized the Guaranteed Hit ability created through his Mangekyō Sharingan, while simultaneously using the Flying Raijin Technique formula carved onto the arrow to confirm the coordinates, forcibly breaking through her spatial blockade.
"Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Your eyes can actually switch between the Rinnegan and the Sharingan?"
Staring at the pupils with their eerie patterns, Kaguya's voice held unshielded surprise. To be precise, since the battle began, this young man had displayed far too many powers that astonished her. Whether it was that power called Nen or the ability to freely manipulate his own body and genes, he was in no way inferior to the Otsutsuki clan.
"Why shouldn't they? Whether it's the Sharingan, Byakugan, or Rinnegan, they are essentially just segments hidden within the genetic code. As long as you activate one when needed, it will naturally undergo the change. Furthermore, if it's Yin-Yang Release, why must it be channeled specifically through the eyes?"
As he spoke, Allen suddenly let his pupils return to their normal state, yet he drew his bowstring with the exact same motion as before. Even without the Sharingan active, Kaguya still felt the same terrifying sense of oppression.
She had been locked onto once again.
"Not good! Mother, quickly transport him to the final dimension!" Black Zetsu screamed a warning.
Without a moment's hesitation, Kaguya took her "son's" advice. She instantly shifted both of them into a green-tinted space filled with jagged, mosaic-like terrain.
The second they entered, Allen felt an indescribable, massive weight of gravity. He was forced to cancel his shot; even maintaining a standing position was immensely difficult. Kaguya fared no better, unable to even maintain her levitating flight.
This was the final dimension of Amenominaka, the Super-Gravity Dimension.
Though the exact multiplier of gravity compared to the outside world was unknown, the sensation of being pinned ruthlessly to the ground was something no ordinary person could withstand. An average human's organs, eyeballs, and brain would be crushed and deformed within minutes; broken bones or a snapped spine would be a lucky outcome.
However, through their superhuman physiques, both Kaguya and Allen endured it.
They stared at each other, poised to end the other's life under this crushing weight. There were no negotiations, and certainly no compromises. Today, only one person would leave alive. That person would be the victor...
