Psykos, crushed tightly together with the chunks of Orochi's flesh and dirt by the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei, suddenly felt something wrapping around her body.
The touch was wet and sticky, like countless cold tentacles, climbing up around her waist, loop by loop.
She immediately realized... Orochi's remnants were resonating with her.
Instead of being alarmed, Psykos was delighted. She muttered to herself, "Looking for a new host? Come on, give me your power."
Psykos couldn't help smiling.
As long as she could merge with Orochi's power, she was confident she could break through Makoto's technique and escape from here.
Orochi's Dragon Slayer Magic and Hollow abilities stacked together would be enough to blast through this damned rock.
Then... then she would make that man pay.
But the next second, Psykos's expression changed dramatically.
Because she realized that these remnants of Orochi still retained their own consciousness.
The chunks of flesh wrapping around her body were not submitting... they were devouring.
Not giving her their power, but instead trying to devour her will in return, making her a puppet dominated by Orochi.
Psykos gritted her teeth, desperately resisting the erosion invading her mind.
But her eyes visibly grew cloudy. Her pupils violently struggled between dilation and contraction.
She inwardly cried out... her spirit was being consumed.
A low, sticky voice echoed in her mind.
"Until now, to promote my growth, you worked hard to catch living sacrifices for me... thank you very much, Psykos. Now, it's your turn."
The rotting meat paste began eroding Psykos's beautiful body.
Gray-white chunks of flesh wrapped around her from all sides like vines, coiling around her limbs and abdomen, on the verge of completely devouring her.
At this critical moment—
Psykos suddenly opened her eyes.
The power within her exploded without reservation at that instant. Magic power and telekinesis burned simultaneously, shattering the encroaching chunks of flesh into cracks inch by inch. Her beautiful face, nearly distorted, let out a throat-tearing roar:
"Stop right there! Obey me obediently... I am the master!!"
Beneath the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei, Makoto's group had already captured all the prisoners who had escaped from Impel Down... Muzan, Sukuna, Heiji, and the others... and had fused their bodies together as Makoto had previously described.
Heiji's head had sprouted from Saguru's abdomen.
This guy's head emerged from Saguru's stomach, still connected to the abdomen by a few disgusting fleshy strands. Its mouth opened and closed, letting out the loser's wail at Makoto.
Saguru looked down at this extra face on his abdomen. His expression was like he had swallowed a fly.
The Teddy Devil and the others roared with laughter, clapping in delight. "What a masterpiece, Boss."
Beam also came over with a malicious smile, extending his claw to gesture. "It would be better to attach his head to the butt. The top mouth eats, the bottom mouth spits out."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the girls present turned pale.
Too vivid an image.
"How disgusting." Asuna commented with a look of disgust, instinctively stepping back two steps.
Makoto withdrew his gaze and looked down at the only surviving Anomaly Association's executive besides Pochi.
Black Sperm.
"Alright... how should I deal with you?"
Black Sperm trembled all over in fear.
Those dense little clones simultaneously stepped back, then quickly gathered together, rubbing their little hands in unison, their faces piled with ingratiating smiles. "Oh dear, Commander, I was forced! Actually, I've always admired you, really! If you don't mind, please let me serve under you!"
Pandora's Actor walked over from the side and dutifully introduced him, "Black Sperm, a Dragon-level executive of the Anomaly Association. His abilities are splitting and fusing."
Nijika, still a virgin, listened, lowered her head, and muttered quietly, "That name sounds so dirty..."
Suddenly, Hinata's face turned pale. She suddenly turned her head and shouted, "Everyone, be careful!"
Everyone simultaneously looked up at the sky.
The planetoid-like Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei suspended in the sky had begun to develop cracks on its surface. Astounding energy spilled from the cracks. White light, like sharp swords, pierced the darkness.
The entire planet was shaking, visibly collapsing... something was about to come out of it.
"No way?"
Tsunade, a native of the Naruto World who had also heard some legends of the Sage of Six Paths, widened her eyes in disbelief.
'Someone could actually break through the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei?'
Before her voice faded, the planetoid overhead exploded with a roar.
Countless rock fragments fell from the high altitude. The spectacle was far more spectacular than the scene in the original Naruto where Naruto in Nine-Tails Mode broke through Pain's Chibaku Tensei.
The Hyuga sisters, Hinata and Hanabi, simultaneously raised their hands. Two Shinra Tenseis exploded at the same time, sending the huge rocks falling toward their heads flying in all directions.
Amid the sky-filling smoke, dust, and rock fragments, everyone waited... to see what enormous monster would emerge from that shattered planetoid.
However, when the smoke slowly cleared, everyone was stunned.
Slowly descending from the sky was not the huge creature they had guessed, but a mature, beautiful human woman.
It was exactly Psykos, who had been sucked into the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei earlier.
Only compared to before, the aura radiating from her entire body was completely different.
The black-rimmed glasses that had hung on her nose had turned pure white. Her tall, beautiful body was wrapped in a bone-tight bodysuit. Beneath the glasses frames, those eyes roiled with unfathomable power.
Makoto watched this scene and raised an eyebrow. "She evolved at this moment?"
He saw at a glance what had happened to Psykos.
She had absorbed Orochi's power, which had also happened in the original work, so it wasn't strange.
But more importantly, she had clearly evolved from Adjuchas to Vasto Lorde.
The stronger a Hollow's power, the closer its form to human. And this woman before him had no trace of non-human characteristics left on her body.
She had completely entered the Vasto Lorde level, but had not yet achieved Arrancarization.
Psykos slowly descended from the sky, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold smile. "The era of Anomalies is coming."
Clearly, she was full of confidence in the power she had just gained.
And feeling the terrifying pressure radiating from Psykos, Black Sperm, who had been frantically ingratiating himself with Makoto moments ago, changed expression dramatically. All his clones froze at once.
'What was going on?'
'This woman's aura was completely different from just now. It was like she had changed into a different person.'
'Could Nishikawa Makoto still beat her?'
Makoto turned his head and said calmly to the girls, "Step back."
Then he reached out and again gripped the ring on his chest.
It seemed that this time, he would have to get a bit serious.
Just as he was about to transform into Black Chainsaw Form to completely deal with Psykos, who had evolved into a Vasto Lorde—
A familiar voice sounded in everyone's minds simultaneously.
[Reincarnation Game, preparing to start.]
[Other World: Shinigami World]
[Mission: Unify the Three Worlds]
[Countdown: 9, 8, 7...]
The familiar countdown pulsed in their minds, one beat after another.
Makoto's motion stopped. A rare look of bewilderment appeared on his face.
'Seriously? We're in the middle of a fight.'
He felt like the Reincarnation Game's activation timing had been getting more and more cursed lately.
