The next second, his figure vanished into thin air!
Vaccine Man didn't even have time to react before he felt an indescribable immense force smash hard into his cheek!
"Boom!!!"
Like a meteorite impact!
Vaccine Man's massive body instantly transformed into a deep blue afterimage, flying backward at supersonic speed, crashing through over a dozen skyscrapers before he barely managed to stabilize himself. Half of his face was cracked, with a fist-sized dent.
"Bastard! You've angered me!" Vaccine Man roared, both shocked and furious. "The planet's power is infinite! Transform!"
His body suddenly swelled, muscles further tensed, huge wings grew from his back, and violent energy lightning crackled around him. His aura was several times stronger than before!
"Is this Vaccine Man after transforming?"
"He's still significantly stronger than Bakuzan, the 'Dragon Shame'."
Naruto floated in mid-air, looking down at Vaccine Man, who had grown massive fleshy wings.
"Die! Planet Purifying Cannon—!!!"
Vaccine Man opened his enormous mouth, and a torrent of energy, dozens of meters in diameter, containing terrifying purifying (destructive) power, shot out, instantly piercing the blue sky, annihilating all matter in its path, and hurtling straight towards Naruto!
Facing this world-destroying attack, Naruto finally became slightly serious.
He slowly raised his right hand, fingers splayed.
"Daikokuten!"
An invisible black hole, several times larger than before, suddenly appeared!
The energy torrent, capable of purifying a planet, was once again frantically devoured and absorbed the moment it touched the black hole.
But this time, Vaccine Man's energy seemed endless, and his output power far surpassed any opponent Naruto had encountered before!
Even the Black Dragon Monarch's full-power breath attack was no more than this.
The energy beam emitted a dazzling light, and space itself twisted and trembled!
"It's useless! My power comes from the planet's will! It's infinite!" Vaccine Man continued to unleash his power madly.
"Infinite?"
Naruto's lips curved into an arc.
"If that's the case, then I'll take you off this planet and see if your power can still be infinite!"
Vaccine Man was using the entire planet as a "power bank."
If the "power bank" was suddenly unplugged, could Vaccine Man still maintain such infinite output?
"Whoosh!"
The shadow beneath Vaccine Man's feet was instantly dominated by Naruto, connecting to the Shadow God-Kingdom, directly swallowing Vaccine Man like a bottomless abyss and imprisoning him in the third layer of the Shadow God-Kingdom, the Void Cage.
"Th-this is...?"
Facing the dark and desolate void, Vaccine Man was completely bewildered.
He couldn't sense any connection to the planet.
That invisible "umbilical cord" seemed to have been severed by a strange and peculiar space.
Before Vaccine Man could recover, the energy cannon, which had been swallowed by Daikokuten, suddenly shot straight out from the distant void, appearing about to hit him.
"Th-this... How is this possible!?"
Vaccine Man was filled with doubt and horror.
This energy cannon was clearly an attack he had launched, so why was it now heading towards him?
"I'm returning the power you borrowed from the planet—to you!"
Naruto's voice echoed in the Void Cage.
Vaccine Man was scared out of his wits, using all his energy for defense, forming layer after layer of thick green energy shields!
"Boom!!!"
The energy shields shattered one by one, and the Planet Purifying Cannon, which Vaccine Man had unleashed with all his might, still solidly struck him, almost purifying him on the spot.
Before Vaccine Man could feel relieved, Naruto, dominating the Shadow God-Kingdom, caused countless dark thorns to pierce out from the void, impaling Vaccine Man's entire body.
Within the God-Kingdom, Naruto was an invincible existence!
Everything in the God-Kingdom was shadow; he could dominate everything in the God-Kingdom.
"Awaken, Vaccine Man, join my command, and become a member of the Shadow Legion."
Naruto, wearing a dark crown, appeared out of nowhere in the Void Cage.
The dark thorns that had pierced and instantly killed Vaccine Man melted like ice into ink, seeping into Vaccine Man's body and enveloping him in a dark sphere.
As Naruto was transforming Vaccine Man into a Shadow Soldier, a phantom image of a blue planet suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Is this the Will of the Planet?"
Naruto was slightly surprised.
However...
It was only a slight surprise.
The Will of the Planet was formidable, but this was his God-Kingdom, the Shadow God-Kingdom; whether it was a dragon or a tiger, they had to submit!
"Even if you are the will of a planet, what of it?
"If we were on the planet, I would show you respect, but this is the Shadow God-Kingdom, and even the Will of the Planet must be dominated by me!"
"Remember, no matter how big a planet is, half of it is covered in shadow!!"
Naruto raised his hand; his figure clearly didn't grow larger, yet it was like the Buddha's great divine ability of the Buddha-land in his palm, as his five fingers grasped the phantom image of the blue planet.
Soon.
Dark shadows covered the entire planet.
Naruto's Shadow Monarch's power of domination successfully enveloped Vaccine Man, transforming him into a Shadow Soldier.
"My Lord!"
The completely dark Vaccine Man flapped his wings and flew before Naruto, respectfully kneeling on one knee, declaring his allegiance to Naruto. "Mm."
Naruto looked down at Vaccine Man indifferently, raising an eyebrow.
"With the Will of the Planet covered, you probably won't be able to borrow the planet's power anymore. However, your birth is quite special; you are essentially an existence like a vaccine. From now on, you shall be connected to the Shadow God-Kingdom. I allow you to use the power of the God-Kingdom to purify all existences hostile to the God-Kingdom!"
As he spoke...
Naruto waved his hand, and Vaccine Man's invisibly severed "umbilical cord" surprisingly connected with the Shadow God-Kingdom.
Vaccine Man noticed that he had gained another "backer" after losing his previous one and couldn't help but want to shout, but seeing Naruto, he obediently held it in.
"Although the God-Kingdom is still in its early stages and cannot yet compare to a complete planet, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses this planet."
Naruto spoke as if to Vaccine Man, yet also as if to himself.
With another wave of his hand, Vaccine Man was teleported by Naruto to the first layer of the Shadow God-Kingdom—the Shadow Military Court.
There, the entire Shadow Legion resided, along with over a dozen powerful existences comparable to Vaccine Man!
Vaccine Man had thought he would be the strongest under Naruto's command, but upon seeing the Goblin God, the Black Dragon Monarch, and the top six of the Sixteen Underworld Demon God Generals, he was instantly horrified. Each of these existences was comparable to a Dragon-level Mysterious Being!!
Naruto returned to A-City, and a series of pop-up windows immediately appeared before him:
[Eliminated one Vaccine Man, EXP +700,000 points]
[Side Quest "Save A-City" completed]
[Gained 1,000,000 EXP, gained 100,000 exchange coupons]

Thanks to breaking the human limiter, Naruto's four basic attributes all significantly increased and became equal to his [Constitution] attribute value, reaching 1000 points.
