I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 384 The Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!

This move is the "spiritual" authority belonging to the White King, a superior power even more noble than the four elemental forces of earth, water, fire, and wind. Theoretically, it can even directly destroy a person's consciousness, or at the very least, cause the opponent to lose consciousness for a moment.

Taking advantage of the moment when Uchiha Hikaru paused, the White King's figure rushed in like a storm, reaching for her heart with a claw!

Snapped!

The dragon's claw was less than a centimeter from its heart when another slender, delicate hand grasped its wrist, freezing it firmly in place, unable to advance an inch. It tried to break free again, but to no avail.

"……impossible!!"

The White King's eyes trembled, his face filled with disbelief: "No one could remain unaffected by that level of mental shock, unless you're Black..."

"I'm sorry, I'm not the person you imagine. I just happen to possess the same 'spiritual' authority as you."

Uchiha Hikaru smiled.

Over the past six months, she has not only focused on physical training but has also honed her mental strength to a considerable extent. She has not only continuously increased the total amount of her mental strength through meditation, combat, and direct absorption, but has also constantly refined and solidified it.

After a period of arduous training.

Her Sharingan's power has steadily increased, reaching a rather astonishing level.

If the one attacking her now were the White King from several eras ago, at the height of his power and before being executed by the Black King, he might have been able to use his vast spiritual power accumulated over thousands of years to momentarily dazed her. But this mere flawed product born from a "holy corpse"...

We're still far from it!

It's as far away as the distance between heaven and earth!

In an instant.

Uchiha Hikaru exhaled and planted his feet firmly on the ice. With a sudden burst of strength, he grabbed Haku's wrist, twisted his waist, and swung the guy around on the ice before flinging him high into the air!

The White King's reaction was also quick.

After discovering that the "Mental Spikes" had had virtually no effect, the guy's last shred of hope was shattered. Realizing that Uchiha Hikaru possessed strength far surpassing his own in almost every aspect, and that continuing the fight would most likely result in his death, Haku finally decided to give up entirely.

Right now.

Taking advantage of the momentum from being thrown away, it broke free from Uchiha Hikaru's grasp and plunged straight into the dark night, clearly treating it as its pre-planned escape route!

In the blink of an eye, the White King had flown hundreds of miles away.

Uchiha Hikaru stood still, only looking up in the direction it had fled, secretly calculating the distance between them.

Until the figure of the White King was about to disappear from sight.

Her body blurred for a moment.

Then, in an instant, it traversed ten thousand meters and appeared even higher above the White King's head. Looking down from the night sky, which was nearly thirty thousand meters high, the bright moon was right behind it!

Under the moonlight, the Susanoo, thousands of meters tall, reappeared, with three pairs of crimson fire wings emerging from its back, and a two-handed greatsword that gradually lengthened like a torch—all of which were constructed from "Fire and Thunder God," held tightly by Uchiha Hikaru's hands and raised above his head.

—Although she hasn't made a move yet, her "qi" has already locked onto the White King, and no matter where he is, she can vaguely sense his presence.

Then, using both hands, press down on the sword towards the opponent's location:

"This sword strike is called..."

"Divine retribution!!"

—A divine punishment from the heavens, even more aptly named than the "Rod of God" in the original story!

next moment.

The greatsword slashed down!

With towering clouds and flames!

The White King was not slow in his escape, and he kept changing direction in the air, trying to dodge Uchiha Hikaru's sword.

Unfortunately, the range of Uchiha Hikaru's sword strike was simply too large.

From an observer's perspective, all one could see was the "Fire and Thunder God" drawing a perfect circle in the sky, like drawing a sun wheel under the moonlight, or like a sword opening the gates of heaven in Eastern mythology! It enveloped the entire sea area within several kilometers, while the White King, flying thousands of meters below, was directly swept onto its shoulder and crushed all the way down to the sea at high speed.

Even at this point, the White King was still trying to struggle to break free.

However, the extremely hot flames emanating from the "Sword of Divine Punishment" had already enveloped its entire body, rapidly burning and incinerating its hard scales.

From an outsider's perspective, it looked as if the White King was on fire from head to toe.

at last……

BOOM—!!

The nearly 20,000-meter-long greatsword pierced through the heavens and earth at that moment, carrying the White King as he plunged into the Pacific Ocean. It directly pierced through this calm sea, creating a whirlpool thousands of meters deep in the surface. Raging waves rose high, then transformed into torrential rain and clouds, followed by a massive tsunami that surged high into the sky!

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the tsunami is expected to reach the Japanese coast within minutes.

"it's over……"

Uchiha Hikaru sensed the "White King's" aura being swallowed by the seawater and quickly sinking into silence. Estimating that the other party was already on the verge of death, he let out a soft breath, released his hands, and allowed the chakra armor on his body to dissipate.

He adjusted his breathing and waited for a moment.

Then a round of applause came from behind, accompanied by a little boy's voice: "Brilliant! Truly a battle of ten thousand troops!"

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced back and saw a little boy in a black suit standing behind her, looking at her with an old-fashioned expression. It was none other than Lu Mingze, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"It's you."

"Long time no see. Instead of playing house with your brother, you actually have the time to come here?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingze paused, skipping over the topic of Lu Mingfei, and instead asked, "I'm here because of a friend, of course. Judging from your appearance, you've had some new experiences in other worlds lately? Last time we met, you were only slightly stronger than Xia Mi and the others, I didn't expect you to have improved so quickly..."

"That's really surprising."

During their last meeting, Uchiha Hikaru revealed a little about his identity and background to Lu Mingze, so he knew about the existence of other worlds.

She could even determine which worlds Uchiha Hikari had visited by using the abilities she had previously displayed and by knowing Esdeath and others who had accompanied her to the Dragon World.

However, knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is quite another.

Given the strength that Uchiha Hikaru just displayed, even if he were at his peak tens of thousands of years ago, he wouldn't dare say he could guarantee a victory. Therefore, Lu Mingze's tone was slightly more polite at this moment.

Uchiha Hikaru exchanged a few pleasantries with him, briefly mentioning his recent situation without revealing too many details.

After the polite words were finished.

Lu Mingze continued, "Let's talk about Odin. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I've already tracked him down. He's been behind Herzog's various schemes against the White King for quite some time now, so he's probably keeping an eye on this incident and will likely appear in our sights soon..."

"Oh, I understand."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded.

She could probably guess Odin's intentions.

However, she no longer cared much about this guy.

After all, no matter how impressive this "Odin" may seem, he is essentially just a cunning old fox who only dares to scheme in the shadows, and is only slightly better than Herzog. Or rather, he is simply a plus version of the latter.

In the original storyline, it only gained considerable strength after absorbing the Dragon Bone Cross of Fenrir, Norton, and the White King—in reality, it didn't seem that powerful. Now, the Sannoh siblings are still alive, and their identities haven't been exposed; the White King is also targeted by Uchiha Hikaru. Under these circumstances, what kind of trouble can Odin possibly cause...?

Unless he is also a traveler of the myriad worlds.

"...It should be in this direction."

With his eyes slightly closed, Uchiha Hikaru sensed the extinguished aura of the White King through the "qi" he had left on him, and the final location where it had been left behind.

She plans to leave this thing on the seabed for a few days to see if she can use it as bait to lure out Odin.

In any case, the dragon bones will not decay in a short time, and the creatures in the sea dare not approach them casually until the dragon aura attached to them dissipates.

If we don't catch anything in the end, we can take out the bones, make a soup, and drink it with Erii. It's not too late.

"Oh, right, here, take this."

Uchiha Hikaru thought for a moment, then took out two vials of reagents from the multi-purpose capsule and tossed them to Lu Mingze: "I said last time I would help you get some materials related to the Sage of Six Paths, but unfortunately I haven't gotten them yet. These two vials contain Saiyan Goku and Namekian cell samples, respectively. Consider them a return gift and compensation."

The return gift was for the fragments of insights about the rules of time that Lu Mingze had given her last time.

The compensation, however, is for the White King's Dragon Bone Cross.

After all, fundamentally, all things related to dragons belong to Lu Mingze as his "property." Although Uchiha Hikari could forcibly take them, she saw herself as a traveler, not a conqueror.

In the absence of direct conflict, we still have to give some face to the people in charge of this world.

"……All right."

Lu Mingze hesitated for a moment, then acquiesced to the exchange conditions proposed by Uchiha Hikaru.

"Let's go." Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand. "It's late, we should go back to sleep. We can talk another day. I remember you bought a Black Stone Mansion here, right? Maybe I can take Erii over for a visit sometime?"

"Huh, you even knew about this information?"

Lu Mingze raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "You're most welcome."
