"Huh?"
All the Dark People were stunned, thinking they had misheard.
With all Sixteen Demon Generals of the Underworld dead, how could they possibly stop Naruto and complete the ritual?
The Demon God King was destined not to be resurrected!
But—
Just when the Dark People thought the plan to resurrect the Demon God King was completely shattered, this arrogant golden-haired youth, who could kill gods and devils, actually told them to continue resurrecting the Demon God King?
It was simply unbelievable, inconceivable.
Was he too confident?
Or was he speaking sarcastically?
One Dark Person, as if possessed, shouted, "Don't think that just because you killed the Sixteen Demon Generals of the Underworld, you can defeat Lord Demon God King!" "What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and continue, don't waste my time."
Naruto impatiently interrupted the somewhat brain-dead Dark Person.
"Let's continue!"
"Quick! Quickly resurrect Lord Demon God King!!!"
Seeing that Naruto truly had no intention of stopping them, the Dark People immediately resumed the awakening ritual, beginning to resurrect the Demon God King, who had been eliminated by the previous Hero.
Just as Naruto had guessed, the Demon God King, like the Black Dragon Monarch, possessed the concept-level immortality bestowed by the world.
Even if completely eliminated by the Hero, the Demon God King, burdened with the mission of destroying the world, could still be resurrected endlessly.
The ritual continued.
After a while—
On the altar, a sudden change occurred!
The massive energy gathered at the core, composed of countless resentful souls and the essence of the Underworld, suddenly shrank inward as if out of control!
It wasn't dissipating, but rather condensing in an incredibly violent manner, surpassing the ritual itself!
The Dark People around, who were responsible for resurrecting the Demon God King, instantly became like noodles being arbitrarily stretched, their bodies elongating and bending, "drilling" towards the massive energy sphere at the altar's core.
Strangely, they were still alive, standing on the ground, unmoving.
"Oh no, the ritual is out of control."
"Why is this happening? Is it because the sacrifices prepared for Lord Demon God King are not enough?"
"Ah ah ah ah—"
"Help! I don't want to die, save me!!!"
The Dark People let out tragic screams, their bodies growing longer and longer, their heads and even their upper bodies already absorbed into the massive energy sphere,
but their voices could still be heard.
With a bang.
The energy sphere expanded like a black hole, devouring everything, pulverizing its surroundings.
Naruto reacted swiftly, instantly teleporting hundreds of kilometers away, standing in mid-air, looking at that terrifying "black hole."
"Ignorant mortals! Your struggles are my best sustenance!"
A terrifying will, mixed with the shrieks of thousands of resentful souls, vibrated throughout the entire core area of the Underworld.
The altar exploded, replaced by a rising, pure dark sun.
At the center of the dark sun, a figure rapidly took shape.
He was clad in dark armor woven from shattered stars, a twisted crown on his head, his face indistinct, with only a pair of eyes like two all-devouring black holes. In his hand, he held a Sword of Finality forged from solidified despair and annihilation, like a giant seated at a dining table, with this Green Moon as his table, his wide, dark cloak fluttering in the void.
His mere existence caused space to collapse and laws to wail!
The Demon God King was resurrected!!!
He was also a true World BOSS, far more powerful than the Goblin God who originally resided in the Green Moon crater.
"Oh? Interesting."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, yet still showing no trace of panic.
He had initially thought the Demon God King would only be around level 200.
Now it seemed that level 200 was merely the difficulty of preventing the Demon God King's resurrection. The truly resurrected Demon God King was definitely not just level 200, reaching level 250 or even stronger.
"In the name of the Underworld, I grant you eternal annihilation!"
The Demon God King raised his Sword of Finality. With just the tip of the sword pointed, the space around Naruto began to shatter like glass, and terrifying power of annihilation sought to completely erase him from existence!
"Absolute Cube!"
A perfectly square, pure black cube appeared out of thin air around Naruto, actually blocking the Demon God King's Sword of Finality, which was capable of destroying worlds.
"Crack—"
An almost inaudible sound came.
The Absolute Cube, touted as absolute defense and even capable of easily trapping Planet Godzilla, actually developed a subtle crack. "The Absolute Cube can't even block it?"
Naruto finally became slightly more serious.
"In that case."
He formed hand signs in front of his chest, lowered his eyes, and then suddenly opened them:
"Take-Mikazuchi Mode!"
"Buzz—Boom!!!"
Violent Chakra surged skyward, blue steam burned like raging fire, and dazzling lightning erupted from every cell in his body, instantly transforming him into a god composed purely of golden lightning!
Naruto's hair stood on end like dancing lightning, turning platinum blonde, and his eyes became pure blue-white, flickering with fine electric arcs.
The Sage Mode Cloak covering his body also became more solid, like ancient and sacred lightning-patterned battle armor, surrounded by constantly appearing and disappearing lightning spheres and jumping electric arcs.
A vast, fierce, and terrifying aura, wielding the punishments of heaven and earth, shot up into the sky, actually pushing back the Demon God King's deathly oppressive power!
"Bang—"
The Demon God King's Sword of Finality silently descended.
Wherever it passed, space left behind unhealable black crack, and even the Absolute Cube, which isolated time and space to form its own separate dimension,
was cut through by the Sword of Finality.
"Clang!"
Naruto moved!
In Take-Mikazuchi Mode, his speed had surpassed the limits of lightning, as if he vanished from the spot, instantly traversing most of the Green Moon. The annihilating power of the Sword of Finality could only futilely tear through the afterimage he left behind.
"Planetary Spiraling Shuriken Barrage!"
Naruto appeared above the Green Moon. After forming hand signs, hundreds of Shadow Clones appeared, then each raised an arm, condensing numerous Planetary Spiraling Shuriken, which they hurled towards the Demon God King standing outside the Green Moon.
From a distance, each Planetary Spiraling Shuriken resembled a Catastrophic Planetary Devastation, even more terrifying, dotting the Green Moon night sky like an attack from the stars, bombarding the Demon God King.
Even as powerful as the Demon God King, seeing such a saturated, high-power attack, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
No matter how thick his health bar was, he couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of the Planetary Spiraling Shuriken.
The Demon God King wielded his Sword of Finality.
The massive sword swept across the sky above the Green Moon, colliding with each Planetary Spiraling Shuriken, immediately erupting into one intense mushroom cloud after another.
"Lightning Slash!"
Naruto's true body appeared to the Demon God King's left, his fingers pointed like a blade. A hand chop, however, transformed into a golden lightning flash that tore through space, fiercely striking the Demon God King's dark armor!
"Clang—Crack!"
Amidst the harsh explosive sound, the Demon God King's shoulder armor cracked, and the power of annihilation was forcibly dispelled by the violent lightning power. He knelt back half a step, and for the first time, surprise appeared in his black-hole-like eyes.
