I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 351 Im's True Form

At this moment.

Many people on this battlefield had stopped fighting, maintaining a wary posture while turning their heads to look in the direction where the mushroom cloud was rising, their faces showing expressions of astonishment.

"Is this power... truly from the same dimension as us?"

Whether it's Lord Im or the "Witch of Light"... their battle seems meaningless in the face of these two clashing.

After all, experts of this level can easily sway the course of a battle. Whoever ultimately wins will most likely be able to kill more than 80% of them single-handedly. Therefore, instead of continuing to fight to the death here, it's better to rest for now and wait for the outcome of the battle over there.

And so, the situation on the battlefield calmed down in a strange way, with only the generals and the "emperor" continuing to fight.

Rumbling--

This sound came from the high platform where Im had originally been. Unable to withstand the impact of the "Super Meteor Shower," it showed signs of breaking apart after a brief delay.

From an observer's perspective, one can clearly see cracks spreading along the stone surface like a spider web, eventually turning into a large amount of rubble that collapses.

A massive amount of smoke and dust poured down like a tidal wave, engulfing the marines and pirates who hadn't managed to escape. In an instant, all figures were obscured, their fates unknown.

Deep within those dusty ruins.

The battle between Uchiha Hikaru and Im is still ongoing.

"He's still alive... oh, this guy."

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person opposite him.

At this moment, she had already broken free from the "Meteor Fireball" state and was maintaining her complete Susanoo, which was about twenty meters tall. She casually swung her dark red greatsword to clear away the dust in front of her and looked ahead.

Not far away, a massive, dark, humanoid creature, incorporating features of various monsters, was slowly writhing. Around it were numerous fragments of flesh and blood, which were being rolled over and absorbed by its tentacles, making it even larger and more terrifying.

That's right.

This strange thing is Im.

Uchiha Hikaru's "Flowing Starfall" attack did indeed cause him immense damage, even tearing him into countless pieces of flesh. Yet, this guy is still alive, and he's constantly absorbing and recombining the scattered pieces of flesh around him... forming the bizarre appearance he now has, resembling a flesh troll.

Putting aside this terrifyingly powerful regenerative ability.

Im right now looks like...

"A composite of flesh and blood from many mythical beast species?"

"Could it be that the Five Elders' abilities were all split off from this guy?"

After all, the Five Elders' classic black mythical beast form and their extraordinary ability to recover from injuries make it hard not to associate them with the Five Elders. Perhaps, this Lord Im is the true oddity of the pirate world; Blackbeard's special physique is insignificant compared to him.

Out of curiosity, Uchiha Hikaru did not attack immediately, but waited for Lord Im to gradually recover.

"Heh...heh heh..."

"Foolish woman, why didn't you take this opportunity to kill me..."

"Those idiots outside are ridiculous too, actually thinking you're the legendary 'Joy Boy'..."

Perhaps due to the reorganization of flesh and blood, Im's voice began to become erratic, as if it came from all directions.

However, he was right about one thing: Uchiha Hikaru was indeed not "Joyboy".

But at this point, these details are irrelevant. For Im, the only thing he must do is to do everything in his power to kill the enemy in front of him!

"...Although I don't know where you came from, since you dared to do such heinous things, then prepare to atone with your life!!"

With the last sentence.

Im's aura surged upwards like flames.

Uchiha Hikaru noticed that during his speech, this guy had dispersed his flesh and blood tissue in all directions, and then in an instant, it rose up and closed off the ruins, turning the place into a palace of flesh and blood, or like the inside of some kind of monster's entrails.

"So... this is your true form?"

Uchiha Hikaru casually glanced around, then nodded slightly: "This reminds me of an old friend."

The so-called "old friend" refers to a certain demon king in the Demon Slayer world.

Both are immortal beings, both are flesh-and-blood monsters, and the appearance of Lord Im before us vaguely overlaps with that of Muzan Kibutsuji. However, compared to Muzan, Im's strength is far greater, like the difference between the sun and the stars.

That being the case...

"Then let's take him back and try to study him a little."

Uchiha Hikaru brandished his blade and made his decision.

Im, who was opposite her, had obviously heard her words. His already unstable aura became even more frenzied. In an instant, he created countless flesh and blood blades with his body and thrust them toward Uchiha Hikaru with unstoppable force!

shhhhh--

The ear-piercing sound of wind breaking apart exploded into a cacophony.

These tentacles were clearly covered with extremely concentrated Conqueror's Haki, meaning that the intensity of each strike was faintly close to Yamato's "Conqueror's Haki: Thunderous Eight Trigrams". Uchiha Hikaru had already activated his Sharingan, seeing in all directions, and the greatsword in Susanoo's hand split in two, spinning and slashing down to both sides.

Although it was Susanoo wielding the sword, Uchiha Hikaru was able to roughly judge the hardness of these tentacles based on the extent of the damage to the dark red greatsword. They were indeed extraordinary.

What's even more troublesome is...

After being severed, the tentacles would wriggle back into Im's body as if they were alive, restoring his waning power. Even cutting the tentacles into minced meat was useless.

At the same time, Im was rapidly converging the surrounding "walls" made of flesh and blood towards the center, seemingly trying to squeeze Uchiha Hikaru's foothold in this way, ultimately sealing her entire body within the palace of flesh and blood.

"...Alright then."

"I was originally planning to practice swordsmanship with you some more, but now... let's just use this move instead."

Uchiha Hikaru sighed, then closed his eyes and opened them again amidst Im's increasingly maniacal laughter.

It's just a very simple blinking motion.

The next moment, a crimson flame appeared in her eyes, then gently spun into the shape of a kaleidoscope:

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames surged forth!
