Chapter 386: Divine Might · Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes
Seeing Uchiha Dali's attention momentarily waver, Àoshiki immediately gave a sly smile. "My humble ambition is definitely no smaller than his. You'll soon see through his disguise."
"This guy isn't as simple as you think. The way he acts in front of you is just his best performance — a perfect facade."
"Uchiha Dali, why don't you and I cooperate instead?"
"My goal is merely to evolve to a higher level. As for you — I don't care what you exist for. As long as we can coexist peacefully and stay out of each other's way, I'll support whatever you want."
"Even if you intend to destroy the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, I can support that too."
Àoshiki extended his invitation to Uchiha Dali once again.
It wasn't the first time, and Uchiha Dali couldn't even be bothered to respond.
Naturally, he also ignored Ōtsutsuki Kyōshiki, who was still greedily devouring energy as if Uchiha Dali didn't exist at all.
Right now, there was only one thing on Uchiha Dali's mind.
"Tell me more about what you mentioned just now."
He looked at Àoshiki and said calmly, "Those 'guys' you were talking about — what are they? Are they members of your Ōtsutsuki clan as well?"
"Our Ōtsutsuki clan? Heh…"
Àoshiki gave a vague, evasive smile.
"You really know how to draw lines, don't you? Even though you possess the power of the Ōtsutsuki and their blood flows through your veins, you still speak in such disappointing terms…"
"But no matter. I'll tell you — as long as you agree to cooperate with me."
"This isn't a negotiation. Whether you talk or not, I'll still take you down."
Uchiha Dali decisively rejected the offer.
If Kyōshiki knew something, he could always ask him later.
Àoshiki instantly saw through Uchiha Dali's thoughts and followed his gaze toward his younger brother, who was still devouring energy with insatiable greed.
"You expect my brother to tell you the truth? That kid's far more calculating than I am… Even I can't compare to his scheming."
"If you don't believe me, you'll be the one to suffer for it, Uchiha Dali."
"Looks like I'll have to speak to you with my fists — you talk too much."
As soon as Uchiha Dali spoke, his fist came crashing down.
At that exact instant, a familiar notification rang out in his mind.
[Ding! You have repeatedly used pure physical attacks. Your Taijutsu experience has reached its peak. You have mastered Taijutsu completely and awakened the ultimate Taijutsu technique: Divine Might · Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes!]
[Divine Might · Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes: A supreme Taijutsu finisher born from pure physical refinement. When activated, it unleashes overwhelming pressure, creating an omnidirectional, inescapable barrage. A single blow can shatter stars!]
…
"Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes… So it's an upgraded version of the Eighty Godly Strikes."
Feeling the surge of new knowledge within his mind, Uchiha Dali couldn't help but smile.
At the same moment he grasped the new technique, his punch had already landed — or so it seemed.
It struck only Àoshiki's afterimage.
His opponent's speed was impressive; in that split second, Àoshiki had already evaded the blow.
Seeing Uchiha Dali's unshakable indifference, Àoshiki's temper flared.
"So you really are just another thick-headed fool — no different from those other idiots!"
"Already losing your cool?"
"Your emotions seem… unstable."
Uchiha Dali raised his hand, and in an instant, countless overlapping fists flooded forward.
That all-encompassing, sky-filling barrage truly matched the technique's description — leaving no room to dodge.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, the massive wave of physical force obliterated the field of asteroids behind Àoshiki, turning them to dust that vanished into the depths of space.
Seeing this, Àoshiki's expression darkened, his eyes growing grave.
"This kid's Taijutsu… is this powerful?"
Goosebumps prickled across his body.
He had never imagined Uchiha Dali possessed such a devastating technique.
But Àoshiki wasn't one to be underestimated either. Quickly regaining his composure, he counterattacked ferociously.
It seemed he had finally abandoned all illusions.
"Fine! Let's go down together, then — let my damned brother take advantage afterward!"
Àoshiki snarled, swinging his arms wildly as he unleashed a storm-like counteroffensive.
Though his blows lacked the sheer grandeur of the Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes, his blinding speed made up for it.
In a heartbeat, a dense ocean of fists surged toward Uchiha Dali like a tidal wave, layer upon layer, without end.
"Not bad."
Uchiha Dali nodded, unfazed. Rather than dodge, he met the attack head-on.
"Divine Might · Three Hundred and Twenty Godly Strikes!"
As he silently uttered the technique's name, an endless barrage of fists once again poured out toward his foe.
"I've wanted to test myself against you head-on for a while now."
"This time, whoever runs is the dog!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Uchiha Dali entered the Ultra Instinct state.
Upon reaching the "Omen" level, his aura instantly surged — at least fiftyfold.
Àoshiki's eyes darkened once again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Their attacks collided in the void, clashing and canceling one another out.
Within moments, their strikes had completely neutralized each other — neither able to gain the upper hand.
But the deadlock didn't last long.
Empowered by Ultra Instinct, Uchiha Dali took the initiative, closing in for close-quarters combat.
His relentless, focused assault exuded an unstoppable momentum that inspired genuine dread.
Àoshiki, meanwhile, couldn't afford such composure.
Every so often, he glanced toward his brother. Of his more than one hundred clones, fewer than seventy or eighty remained — their numbers dwindling fast under the combined assault of Kyōshiki and Uchiha Dali's clones.
Once Kyōshiki finished dealing with those clones and absorbed all that energy to further boost his power, Àoshiki knew he'd be the one in trouble.
Uchiha Dali alone was bad enough.
Add Kyōshiki to the mix, and even if Àoshiki grew three heads and six arms, he still wouldn't stand a chance against the two of them together.
"Uchiha Dali, are you really not interested in learning the secrets of the Ōtsutsuki clan?" Àoshiki growled through clenched teeth.
