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

Chapter 418 Flying Ashes

Everything along the way, whether boulders, trees, or other obstacles, was smashed to pieces by this powerful impact.

The earth seemed to have been cleaved open by a sharp blade, revealing a huge gash.

Kai leaped up and kicked hard at the Heavenly Dao.

This kick contained his entire life, all his beliefs, and all his strength.

There's no escaping the ways of Heaven; that would be too boring.

Calmly erect a repulsive barrier to withstand the attack.

Kai's move was so powerful that it even slightly distorted space itself.

The space rippled with visible force after Kai's kick.

Kai's kick broke through the repulsive barrier and struck Tiandao's chest heavily.

The powerful impact instantly shattered Tiandao's body into pieces, with fragments scattering like fireworks.

The aftershocks of the attack, like a raging tsunami, spread wildly in all directions from the Heavenly Dao as the center.

The surrounding terrain was instantly and completely altered by this force.

The surrounding mountains, like building blocks toppled by a giant, were instantly leveled by this force.

The dense forest vanished in the blink of an eye, the trees uprooted and turned into wood chips that flew through the air.

"It worked!"

With his last ounce of strength, Kai managed to utter a weak sound.

At this moment, his whole body was charred black, his skin was cracked, and his blood had dried.

His life was drawing to a close, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However, to his surprise, the Heavenly Dao's shattered body reassembled itself.

Kai looked at the Heavenly Dao, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment.

His lips trembled slightly as he tried to say something, but he no longer had the strength to utter a sound.

Tiandao looked at Kai and said calmly, "I told you this is just a puppet."

[Ride, Neji, Tenten, Kakashi, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop the enemy.]

In a daze, Kai saw his entire life flash before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He saw himself being ridiculed at the ninja academy when he was a child, but he still persisted in training hard;

He saw himself cultivating with his father, his father's eyes full of encouragement;

I saw myself and my partners carrying out missions together and facing difficulties together.

Finally, he saw his father, who gave him a thumbs-up and flashed his signature smile.

A gentle breeze, like a messenger of sorrow, quietly swept across this devastated battlefield.

Might Guy's body, which had once shone brightly in battle, was now as fragile as dust, shattering like a dream bubble under the gentle caress of a breeze.

Each fragment carries his passion and conviction, turning into fine ashes that drift slowly in the wind and gradually dissipate into the world.

Deidara was the first to arrive at the battlefield.

He sat atop a large bird made of clay, which swirled in the sky.

Deidara's gaze was drawn to the completely altered landscape below. The once rolling mountains had been reduced to flat land, and the dense forests had vanished without a trace, replaced by desolation and death.

"This is the power of the BOSS!"

Deidara muttered to himself, a fine layer of cold sweat unknowingly seeping from his forehead and slowly sliding down his cheeks.

"My C0 can't do that either."

His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with shock and awe.

The power that Tiandao displayed in his battle with Kai far exceeded his expectations, causing him to deeply doubt his own strength for the first time.

Not only Deidara, but also Kakashi, Naruto, and the other members of Konoha were completely shocked by the scene before them.

Kakashi held a telescope, his gaze fixed on the unharmed Pain.

"Such power!!"

He gasped, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? You're not even injured!"

Kakashi's hand trembled slightly.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Konoha Village is about to face an unprecedented crisis.

The Heavenly Dao sensed that someone was spying on him in the dark. He slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp as an arrow, precisely aiming in the direction where Kakashi was.

"retreat!"

Kakashi immediately gave the order without hesitation, his voice filled with unwavering determination.

"The enemy is not on the same level as us!"

If they do not retreat in time, the people of Konoha will face the danger of total annihilation.

However, Naruto Uzumaki was still not giving up.

"Gaara..." Naruto clenched his fist, tears welling in his eyes. He could never let go of his deceased friend Gaara.

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

"Naruto!" Kakashi stared sternly into Naruto's eyes and shouted, "Do you want Sakura and the others to die in vain?!"

Naruto was startled by these words. Although he was impulsive, he was not stupid.

He knew perfectly well that, let alone the Heavenly Dao, even Kai, who had opened the seventh gate, was no match for him.

The best course of action now is to bring the information from here back to Konoha and buy the village more time to prepare.

"I understand..." Naruto lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. His shoulders trembled slightly, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and sighed.

He knew that now was not the time to comfort Naruto; time was of the essence, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

Kakashi turned and ran wildly towards Konoha, with Naruto also suppressing his grief and following behind him.

"Your opponent has escaped," Tendou calmly reminded Deidara.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Deidara's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, and he immediately tried to control the clay bird to chase after it.

However, Heaven stopped him with a wave of its hand. "The mission is complete. Ignore them. We'll deal with these small fry later."

The voice of Heaven is cold and firm, leaving no room for doubt.

"But the Nine-Tails." Deidara wanted to argue a bit more, after all, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a huge attraction for the Akatsuki organization.

Didn't you hear me?

A sharp glint flashed in Tiandao's eyes, and the Rinnegan slowly rotated in its socket, radiating a powerful aura.

Under the gaze of the Rinnegan, Deidara felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I heard you clearly."

After today's battle, Deidara witnessed the terrifying power of the Heavenly Path, and he became much more docile.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and Chiyo, after many hardships, finally brought the information back to the village.

Upon learning the news, Konoha and Sunagakure immediately went on high alert.

In particular, Sunagakure has just lost the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara, and now the siblings Chiyo and Ebizo are temporarily acting as Kazekage.

A tense atmosphere permeated the village, and the villagers were filled with anxiety.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. She immediately shared this information with the villages of Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure, hoping that the villages could work together to be vigilant against the threat posed by the Akatsuki.

However, the results were minimal. The Hidden Cloud Village believed itself to be too powerful for the Akatsuki to easily provoke;

Kirigakure remained shrouded in mystery, offering only perfunctory responses to Tsunade's warnings.

Iwagakure, however, thought that Konoha was exaggerating and didn't really take it to heart.

Tsunade looked at these replies, her heart filled with worry.

She knew that a massive storm was about to sweep through the entire ninja world, and that Konoha and other villages had to be fully prepared to survive it.
