Victor glanced at Konan, who had already burst into tears, and shrugged with casual indifference. "Don't worry, my goal from beginning to end has remained the same, the Rinnegan."
"As long as you give me the Rinnegan, I won't do anything to harm you."
"And don't think I'm some wicked person. I'm taking your Rinnegan to save you."
Uzumaki Nagato, "..."
If he possessed the strength to defeat his opponent, Uzumaki Nagato would have declared: I have never encountered such a shameless person!
How thick-skinned must one be to describe outright robbery in such righteous terms?
Seeing the expression on Uzumaki Nagato's face, Victor understood exactly what he was thinking.
However, Victor didn't bother to explain further.
Facts would prove everything!
Once he removed the Rinnegan, Uzumaki Nagato would naturally understand whether his actions were truly meant to save him.
Squelch!
Uzumaki Nagato proved equally decisive.
After taking one final look at Konan and memorizing her appearance at this moment firmly in his mind, he gouged out his eyes without hesitation.
"Here!" Uzumaki Nagato endured the excruciating pain and handed over the Rinnegan with trembling hands.
Looking at those two bloody eyeballs, Victor felt a wave of disgust.
But he forced himself to step forward, suppressing his discomfort.
Just as he extended his hand to claim the Rinnegan, something unexpected occurred.
Suddenly, space twisted violently, and a dark arm stretched out from the distorted dimension, attempting to snatch away the precious eyes!
"Get lost!"
Victor snorted coldly upon witnessing this brazen theft attempt.
A powerful aura instantly erupted from his body, sending the newly appeared Uchiha Obito flying backward through the air!
Observing the Rinnegan that had fallen safely into Victor's hands, Uchiha Obito's concealed face beneath the mask revealed a trace of bitter unwillingness.
Still no success?
Damn it!
This worthless Nagato actually handed over the Rinnegan so easily!
And to someone with such terrifying strength!
The only option now was to retreat and find another way to reclaim the Rinnegan later.
With this thought, Uchiha Obito didn't hesitate to activate Kamui once more.
"I will return, and you will all pay the price for this!"
Victor raised his eyebrows with obvious irritation.
If you want to flee, just flee. I wouldn't bother pursuing you anyway.
But you still dare to utter such threatening words!
Is this tolerable?
Victor immediately extended his hand and forcibly pulled Uchiha Obito out of the Kamui dimension.
Then he delivered a devastating punch directly to the man's face.
CRACK!
The spiral mask shattered instantly like fragile glass.
The originally distorted and ugly visage suddenly became bruised and swollen, becoming even more hideous than before.
This ugly creature is supposed to be Uchiha Madara?
It was Konan's first time seeing Uchiha Obito's true appearance, and she stared at him with undisguised curiosity.
Ugh!
He becomes uglier the more I look at him.
Is the legendary Uchiha Madara really so repulsive?
No wonder he's remained single his entire life!
At the same time, the actual Uchiha Madara in the Pure Land suddenly felt an inexplicable itch in his nose, followed by an uncontrollable sneeze.
"Who's talking about me? It must be that fool Hashirama."
Returning our attention to the protagonist.
Uchiha Obito felt his head buzzing with disorientation.
Before he could recover his senses, Victor struck him with a sword technique, cleanly bisecting him.
After completing this execution, Victor didn't forget to claim the man's remaining Mangekyō Sharingan.
So brutal!
Witnessing this scene, Konan shuddered with terror.
Although Uzumaki Nagato could no longer see, the enhanced sensory abilities inherited from his Uzumaki clan bloodline remained intact.
He had perceived the entire process of Victor eliminating "Uchiha Madara" in a single instant.
He felt profound gratitude that he had surrendered the Rinnegan willingly.
Otherwise, he might have been the one split in half.
"Let's go, Konan," Uzumaki Nagato said softly to his companion.
Konan nodded in agreement.
"Wait a moment!"
Victor's sudden words made both of them instantly tense with anxiety.
Does he intend to break his promise?
"Don't be nervous," Victor explained reassuringly. "After all, I'm not a demon, so I won't take your possessions without compensation. I'll provide you with a new pair of eyes, and furthermore..."
"Don't you want to witness the resurrection of your old friend Yahiko?"
After hearing Victor's initial words, the pair breathed sighs of relief.
Upon hearing the latter statement, they whirled around instantly with expressions of pure shock.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Uzumaki Nagato asked with a trembling voice.
All traces of hatred had vanished from Konan's eyes, replaced only by endless hope and anticipation.
Victor didn't answer directly. Instead, he tossed a pill in their direction.
Konan caught the medicinal sphere reflexively.
"This pill can help you regrow your eyes. If you trust me, consume it."
The pill was called the White Bone Regeneration Pill.
As long as the patient remained alive, it could restore any severed limbs.
A mere pair of eyes presented even less of a challenge.
Konan remained hesitant after hearing this explanation, but Uzumaki Nagato directly snatched the pill from her hands and threw it into his mouth without delay.
"Nagato!" Konan cried out in worry.
Uzumaki Nagato waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry. If he truly wanted to kill us, there would be no need for such elaborate schemes."
Indeed, with their overwhelming strength, there was no reason for such unnecessary complications.
Realizing this logic, Konan finally relaxed.
The pill dissolved upon contact with his saliva, and medicinal power flowed through his meridians throughout his body.
Uzumaki Nagato could feel a warm current manifesting in his empty eye sockets.
Within moments, a completely new pair of eyes had regenerated.
"This... this is actually real?"
Uzumaki Nagato looked around in wonder and disbelief.
Everything in his surroundings appeared so familiar and crystal clear!
He had actually regained his vision!
"How can such medicine be so potent?"
Shizune, standing behind Tsunade, was equally shocked witnessing this miraculous healing.
As a medical ninja, she understood exactly how difficult regenerating severed limbs truly was!
It could be considered virtually impossible!
Even someone with vitality as powerful as the First Hokage couldn't accomplish such a feat!
"This demonstrates the miraculous nature of cultivation," Tsunade murmured with awe.
Although she had only been exposed to immortal cultivation for a brief period, she understood that the cultivation path defied the natural order.
Anything that violated natural laws could become possible for immortal cultivators!
"Chat group system, can you merge the Rinnegan with me?" Victor switched to the chat group interface.
Before beginning the experiment, he needed to integrate the Rinnegan with himself.
Honestly, he had no desire to gouge out his own eyes.
Fortunately, the system offered a method that didn't require such extreme measures.
[Ding! Rinnegan fusion requires 100,000 group points!]
"Then proceed with the fusion."
Victor agreed without hesitation.
As his words concluded, 100,000 points were deducted from his account.
Immediately afterward, the Rinnegan in Victor's possession transformed into golden light and flew directly into his forehead.
[Ding! Rinnegan fusion successful!]
Upon hearing this confirmation, Victor conjured a water mirror and examined his reflection.
He discovered that his eyes remained the same pair of black pupils as before.
However, when he channeled spiritual energy into his eyes, they instantly transformed into the distinctive purple Rinnegan.
Next, he experimented with converting the Rinnegan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Excellent. It appears the Rinnegan has become completely mine."
The ability to activate and deactivate them at will, plus freely switching between the Rinnegan, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and ordinary Sharingan, demonstrated that the eyes weren't simply placed in his sockets.
They had truly become one with him!
In other words, the Rinnegan no longer belonged to Uchiha Madara, they had become Victor's personal property!
