In the last episode, we saw Hatake defeat the mysterious man. But just as things calmed down, everything changed.
When Akaio returned to normal, a god suddenly appeared before him.
"Come with me," the god commanded.
Ekai stepped forward. "Why?"
The god's eyes glowed. "Because he is the perfect vessel for Hatake… and he must be destroyed."
Present Time
Without warning, the god teleported behind Ekai and kicked him across the battlefield. Akaio tried to fight back—but he couldn't even touch the god.
In a flash, Akaio's arm was sliced off.
But… it regenerated instantly.
Still, both Akaio and Ekai were already too injured to continue fighting.
The god laughed. "Ekai… the so-called strongest assassin. Pathetic."
Suddenly—
A crushing force slammed everyone to the ground.
Even the god struggled.
"What… is this power?!"
To counter it, the god summoned his guardian
Sun wukong
With Wukong's help, the god managed to stand again.
But in the next second—
BOOM.
A mysterious force kicked the god straight through the mountains.
Dust filled the air.
A figure slowly walked forward.
Wukong narrowed his eyes. "My lord… whoever that is… he's dangerous."
The god smirked. "No problem. We can handle him."
As the dust cleared, the stranger approached Akaio.
"Brother… are you okay?"
Everyone froze.
The man stepped forward, his eyes filled with rage.
"You touched my brother…?"
The god asked, "Who are you?"
The man replied—
"My name is Ketama."
In an instant—
Ketama punched the god.
His head exploded.
…but regenerated immediately.
Wukong charged with his staff.
"Wait!" the god said. "We fight together."
The battle turned chaotic.
Punches shattered mountains. Kicks split the ground. The sky trembled.
Ketama moved like a demon—jumping across mountains.
Then—
Wukong struck him.
The god opened a dimensional trap—
Ketama was sealed inside.
"We can't defeat him directly," the god said. "He's too strong."
But suddenly—
CRACK.
The portal shattered.
Ketama stepped out.
His presence… had changed.
Behind him appeared his guardian—
Hekonagi
Then—
A sword formed in his hand.
The Dark Katana, glowing with purple and red aura… dripping with blood.
Ketama vanished—
and reappeared in front of Wukong.
CLASH!
Their weapons collided, sending shockwaves across the world.
In a flash—
Ketama's blade cut across Wukong.
The god stepped back in shock.
"He's… a monster."
Ketama turned slowly.
"You're next."
In a single move—
He kicked the god into the air…
and sliced him into two.
Silence.
Then—
A dark figure appeared.
The Reaper consumed both the god and Wukong… growing stronger.
Just when everything seemed over—
An old man stepped out from the shadows.
