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

Chapter 424 Farewell to the Gods

Danzo's face instantly turned ashen, like the gloomy sky before a storm.

His subordinates all perished in the "Planetary Devastation".

Danzo was heartbroken that his subordinates, who had followed him through thick and thin and served him, had now perished in this catastrophe.

Many operational plans could not be implemented as a result.

On the other side, Kakashi, with the help of Naruto's clones, was desperately dodging the Human Path's relentless attacks.

The Human Path's offensive was fierce and ruthless.

Although Kashi was experienced, his chakra was almost depleted at this moment, and his body was also covered with injuries from the previous battle. He could only barely hold on with Naruto's help.

"Hold them off."

Danzo gave Jiraiya and Naruto orders without any politeness, his tone carrying an unquestionable forcefulness.

In his eyes, Jiraiya and Naruto were merely tools to achieve his goals, and he would stop at nothing to realize his ambitions.

Why should I listen to you?

Naruto said angrily, his eyes burning with rage, dissatisfied with Danzo's tyranny.

However, Jiraiya stopped Naruto in time.

Regardless of Danzo's character or his selfish motives, he was always a member of Konoha. At this critical moment concerning the survival of Konoha, everything should be done with the greater good in mind.

"A Thousand Pieces of Immortal Hairpins"

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals.

In an instant, countless needles, as thin as hair yet as hard as steel, swept towards the Asura and Hungry Ghost realms at an extremely fast speed.

This technique is arguably the fastest and widest-ranging of all Jiraiya's techniques, instantly enveloping the Asura Path and the Preta Path.

These needles are purely physical attacks, rendering the Hungry Ghost Path's ability to absorb ninjutsu energy useless at this moment.

Upon seeing this, the Asura and Hungry Ghost realms reacted swiftly.

The Hungry Ghost Realm figure flashed and hid behind the Asura Realm, seeking protection.

With his powerful mechanical modification abilities, Shura Dao instantly assembled his right arm into a huge shield, completely shielding the two of them.

The needles struck the shields, making a dense "clink-clink" sound, but they could not penetrate the shields to cause them any harm.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Danzo rushed swiftly toward the Deva Path.

His eyes gleamed with fanaticism, and he had only one thought in his mind: to control the Heavenly Dao and master this powerful force.

"Spiritual communication!"

Upon seeing this, the animal beings quickly formed hand seals to summon it.

A giant panda fell from the sky like a falling meteor, hurtling towards Danzo.

Danzo reacted quickly, dodging the panda's attack with a swift movement.

"Baku!"

Danzo shouted loudly, and Baku heard the call.

He charged toward the panda summoned from the Animal Realm. The two summoned beasts instantly began to wrestle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the animal realm tried to form hand seals again to summon other spirit beasts.

However, Danzo was even faster than her.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade".

Danzo continuously poured Wind Release chakra into the kunai in his hand, and instantly a layer of sharp wind blades condensed on the kunai, forming an invisible yet extremely sharp sword.

Danzo suddenly swung his kunai, and a sharp wind blade whistled out, precisely severing the animal's arm.

Since the animal realm has lost its arm, it can no longer form hand seals, and naturally, it can no longer use the summoning technique.

At this moment, there were no more obstacles in Danzo's way.

As he drew closer to the Heavenly Dao, his excitement became increasingly difficult to contain.

With just one glance, he could use Kotoamatsukami to control this powerful enemy and realize his ambitions.

Everything went exactly as Danzo had predicted; Deva had fallen under the illusion of Kotoamatsukami.

"We succeeded!" Danzo was overjoyed, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.

He couldn't wait to issue the order of absolute obedience to the Heavenly Dao: "Stop the attack."

Upon hearing the command, Heaven stood frozen in place.

Danzo secretly rejoiced.

【finally.】

His long-held ambitions seem to be on the verge of being realized.

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

However, just as Danzo was basking in the joy of victory, a soft "hiss" sounded, and a black thorn pierced through Danzo's chest from his back.

Danzo's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief on his face. "??"

The Hell Path, which had been holding back until now, has finally made its move.

"Why?" Danzo was filled with doubt. In his understanding, the Deva Path was the core of the Six Paths of Pain. As long as the Deva Path was controlled, all the Six Paths of Pain could be controlled.

But he never expected that the Six Paths of Pain were actually independent entities, not as he imagined, where everything would be fine as long as he controlled the Heavenly Path.

I still have the Sharingan, and Izanagi.

A glimmer of hope flashed through Danzo's mind, and with the power of Izanagi, he was resurrected once more.

This time, Danzo did not continue his attack, but instead turned and ran.

In the brief exchange, Danzo had already made a profound assessment of the disparity in strength between the two sides.

In just a few minutes, he had already used up three Sharingan eyes. If he continued to fight, he would only face certain death.

Moreover, he thought to himself that Konoha's reconstruction still needed his strength, and he could not die so easily.

Danzo kept finding various reasons for himself, trying to cover up the fact that he had deserted his post.

"Protect me!"

Danzo was terrified and desperately issued commands to the Deva Path, which he controlled using Kotoamatsukami.

At that moment, he was like a frightened bird, his heart filled with the fear of death. However...

However, he never expected that the Heavenly Dao under his control, although seemingly able to obey his commands, was actually just an ordinary puppet, unable to unleash the power of powerful techniques such as "Divine Expedition" and "Universal Guidance".

Seeing this, Hell Path's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

He quickly formed hand seals, and with a billowing cloud of smoke, the enormous and sinister figure of the King of Hell slowly emerged.

The King of Hell was entirely black, exuding a chilling aura. Its eyes were like two burning ghostly flames, revealing endless eeriness.

The King of Hell slowly extended his enormous arm, like the scythe of death, effortlessly grasping the Heavenly Dao and the armless Animal Dao in his hand, then throwing them into his mouth.

Immediately following was a heart-stopping chewing sound.

Incredibly, the Heavenly Path and the Animal Path emerged unharmed from Yama's mouth, as if everything that had just happened was merely a nightmare. Then, Yama's figure gradually vanished, as if he had never existed.

Danzo, Kakashi, Naruto, Jiraiya, and the others watched this scene with shock and fear, their faces turning extremely pale in an instant.

"They're all puppets!"

Danzo was as if he had been struck by lightning, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

His face showed a mixture of shock and realization as he shouted, "These six people are all puppets; the real person is controlling them from a distance!"
