The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 412 Action

The atmosphere in that dark and damp cave was already oppressive and almost suffocating, but now it became even more tense because of Hidan's complaints.

"Why were we suddenly summoned?"

Impatient Hidan, his face full of frustration, yelled, "You're interrupting my prayers!"

He looked so angry, as if he had been deprived of something of utmost importance, and as he spoke, he waved the strange, large scythe in his hand with dissatisfaction.

"idiot."

Scorpion spoke coldly and mockingly, his tone full of disdain.

Hidan's complaints were, in his opinion, incredibly childish and ridiculous.

Scorpion stood to the side, exuding a cold and mysterious aura. His modified puppet body looked even more eerie in the dim light, and the occasional slight mechanical sounds from his joints added to the sinister feeling.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Hidan was immediately enraged. His eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and like an angry bull, he roared at Sasori, "I will sacrifice you to the Jashin!"

His voice echoed in the cave, carrying a fanatical and fierce tone.

It seemed as if he would immediately attack if Scorpion uttered even one more word.

"If you can do it, then bring it on." Scorpion showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was even more disdainful of Fei's cunning.

In his opinion, apart from his troublesome immortality, Hidan had no other noteworthy skills and no technical ability whatsoever.

He had already transformed most of his body into a puppet, possessing not only powerful combat abilities but also extremely strong defensive capabilities against various attacks.

Aside from the fact that there wasn't a single drop of blood in his body, how could he possibly fear Hidan's so-called secret technique?

"Ah~"

Hidan's voice suddenly rose, the sharp sound seemed to pierce people's eardrums, and he gripped the scythe even tighter, his knuckles turning white from the force.

The tension between the two grew increasingly palpable, as if a single spark could ignite an explosion, and the air in the entire cave seemed to freeze.

"Enough!!"

At this critical moment, the majestic voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the cave, instantly drowning out the argument between Hidan and Sasori.

All eyes instantly focused on him. Tiandao stood in the center of the cave, radiating a powerful aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

"The first phase of the plan is complete; it's time to move on to the second phase."

The voice of Heaven was calm and powerful, each word conveying an unquestionable determination.

"Haha, it's finally here!"

Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately became excited. The anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by barely suppressed excitement. He laughed loudly, "Finally, I don't have to do those boring missions anymore!"

His eagerness was like that of a wild beast about to break free of its cage and run wild.

"To attack a Jinchūriki is tantamount to declaring war on the Five Great Nations."

Kakuzu remained calm, his brow furrowed, his gaze deep, as he analyzed the situation and spoke slowly.

If action is taken against a Jinchūriki, it will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from the five great nations, drawing in all sides and making the situation extremely complex and dangerous.

Are you scared?

Kisame curled a mocking smile and said in a sarcastic tone.

The shark-like face appeared even more ferocious in the dim light, with two sharp teeth protruding, sending chills down one's spine.

"Hmph~"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, ignoring Kisame's taunts.

Apart from Itachi Uchiha, everyone else who heard about attacking a Jinchuriki showed eager expressions.

They were lawless people who loved seeking thrills and doing things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to imagine. This challenging and dangerous mission only excited them more, and their blood was boiling with excitement.

"Then let's start by capturing the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast!"

The Heavenly Dao swept its gaze over everyone before issuing its command.

Upon hearing the order, everyone dispersed and began to prepare. For a moment, the cave was silent, and then darkness returned.

A few days later, Sasori and Deidara dragged the unconscious Gaara to the cave.

Gaara's once vibrant body was now lifeless, limp and pale as paper, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury and fallen into a coma.

To their surprise, the true form of the Heavenly Dao appeared here.

In the past, the Heavenly Dao mostly conveyed commands through the Illusionary Body Technique and rarely showed himself, so this time it really surprised Sasori and Deidara.

"That's really strange."

Scorpion's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of doubt and surprise.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Tiandao, trying to discern something from the other's expression.

"Boss, you actually came all this way in person, hmm~"

Deidara's eyes widened as he spoke with a curious expression. His tone, which always had a strange ending, somehow sounded somewhat humorous in the serious atmosphere.

However, everyone's attention was focused on the Heavenly Dao at the moment, and no one cared about these details.

"Are jinchūriki that important, hmm~"

Deidara was very curious about the fact that Pain had come in person, since Pain had never shown such importance to previous missions.

"The recovery of the tailed beasts is the key to the plan, and I need to oversee it personally for the first time."

The Heavenly Dao looked serious.

"for you."

As he spoke, Tiandao tossed a scroll to Scorpion.

Scorpion took it, his eyes full of doubt, and casually asked, "What's this?"

As he spoke, he casually opened the scroll, but after just one glance, his expression instantly changed from casual to surprised, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is!!"

Scorpion couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; the scroll contained knowledge about mechanics.

It contains information about Vegapunk's development of the Pacifistas.

Although this knowledge had been rendered obsolete by Vegapunk, it was a priceless treasure for Sasori, who was obsessed with puppetry and constantly pursued the ultimate in puppetry techniques.

The dense text, numbers, and complex drawings were, in his eyes, the keys to unlocking a new world, and every detail was full of endless attraction.

Seeing this, Deidara also curiously came closer, craning his neck to look at the scroll, muttering, "What is this thing?"

The dense numbers and drawings made his eyes dizzy. He simply couldn't understand these complicated things, and soon lost interest and went back.
