Chapter 404: The Deadly Ultimate Move
Ōtsutsuki Clan — Celestial Faction Camp.
At this moment, the king of the Ōtsutsuki clan and a large group of elite clansmen were watching the battle through the massive light screen before them.
They could clearly see how Uchiha Dali had defeated those enforcers and how he had absorbed and plundered their energy.
Naturally, they also heard the shocking words spoken by the enforcer captain.
The Ōtsutsuki King's expression was dark and extremely displeased.
Seeing his face like that, none of the other elites dared to suggest sending reinforcements.
Everyone simply watched in silence.
On the screen, Uchiha Dali had returned to that star region once again.
At this time, the captain of the Ōtsutsuki Enforcers was still desperately devouring the energy of the other team members.
Because those men were struggling to resist, the process was not particularly smooth.
But they couldn't break free from the captain's control and were unable to stop his plundering completely. So, in the end, it was only a matter of time before all nine enforcers were completely assimilated by him.
Of course, that was assuming no outside interference.
Now that Uchiha Dali had come back, there was no way he would just sit and watch his enemy grow stronger.
"Hello~"
Uchiha Dali instantly appeared in front of his opponent, waving with a grin at the hideous, bloated, and twisted monster whose body was deformed by unbalanced energy.
Seeing him reappear with that infuriating grin, the Ōtsutsuki captain snorted coldly. "You dare come back to die?"
"Who's dying hasn't been decided yet."
Uchiha Dali sneered back.
At the same moment, he raised his hand, preparing to unleash his ultimate move.
Coincidentally, the Ōtsutsuki captain also struck at that very instant, showing no mercy.
A terrifying wave of chakra pressure suddenly crashed down.
Immediately after, an almost tangible shockwave came roaring forward — incredibly fast and unimaginably powerful.
In an instant, that force surged toward Uchiha Dali like a tidal wave.
With a resounding boom, Uchiha Dali was struck before he could block.
But this time, he didn't retreat.
His entire body turned into a black hole — cold, merciless, and endlessly devouring the oncoming energy blast.
At the same time, Uchiha Dali's own attack took effect on his opponent.
What he unleashed was not an energy blast nor a simple physical strike, but a power of pure law —
The Law of Gravity.
This was a power Uchiha Dali had mastered long before awakening the Rinnegan. After multiple upgrades and enhancements, it had now evolved to an unimaginable level.
Its might far surpassed that of the Heavenly Rinnegan.
He simply rarely used it.
As soon as he made his move, a supermassive black hole appeared on his enemy's body.
The terrifying vortex released an endless, horrifying suction force.
In an instant, the space around the monstrous figure began to distort and visibly warp.
Not only that — everything within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers was affected, except for Uchiha Dali himself.
Within that range, meteors, planets, stars — everything — began to fly toward the Ōtsutsuki captain or shatter into countless fragments, all converging on that point.
Feeling the terrifying power of Uchiha Dali's technique, the captain's face finally showed traces of fear.
His gaze grew wary.
"This is…"
He looked uncertain and alarmed.
This power was nothing less than a super version of Planetary Devastation.
No — it was more accurate to call it Cosmic Devastation.
A normal Planetary Devastation might not even destroy one planet.
But what Uchiha Dali had unleashed through the Law of Gravity far surpassed such techniques.
One or two planets crashing in might not have been much — that level, the captain could still handle.
But what if dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of planets all came crashing down, converging around him?
That would be a serious problem.
There was no way he could withstand such an overwhelming mass.
Those materials would be compressed into a singularity-like region, and at that point, the sheer gravitational force alone would trap him.
He might not die — but he would never escape.
The captain realized that this move was essentially the ultimate sealing technique.
His pupils changed once again.
Right now, he took action to counter this fatal crisis.
"Rinne Pressure!"
He gritted his teeth and poured every ounce of chakra he had into an unimaginably powerful shockwave.
However — Uchiha Dali had already anticipated his counterattack.
"I can't let you do that~!"
"I'm still right here!"
As his voice echoed, he immediately used the Devour and Refine Technique again.
Instantly, the energy shockwave released by the Ōtsutsuki captain began to distort and twist — then, as if drawn by an invisible force, all changed direction.
Instead of spreading outward, they all converged toward Uchiha Dali.
Moments later, he had absorbed every bit of it.
Seeing this, the captain's face changed drastically, and his eyes grew even more wary.
Uchiha Dali, pleased with himself, chuckled. "I can't directly steal the energy inside your body, but if you dare use techniques, I'll absorb every single one of them!"
"Let's see who lasts longer!"
Hearing that, the captain was enraged.
Grinding his teeth, he roared, "You're getting too full of yourself, brat!"
"Since you love absorbing energy so much, let's see how much you can take! I'll give you more than enough!"
With that, he once again unleashed massive waves of chakra shock energy.
One purpose, of course, was to smash apart the rapidly increasing fragments of planets surrounding him —
But the other was to attack Uchiha Dali.
"Just what I wanted!"
Uchiha Dali smirked playfully and activated the Devour and Refine Technique once more.
And just as he used the move for the second time, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Ding! You have repeatedly used Ultra Instinct: Sign. Your understanding of Ultra Instinct has deepened dramatically. You have comprehended Ultra Instinct: Second Stage!]
[Ultra Instinct: Second Stage — A more perfected offensive and defensive state than the initial Ultra Instinct: Sign. Reaction speed, power, and defensive coordination are all greatly enhanced — a hundredfold increase over the initial Sign form!]
