Terumi Mei: "I've wanted to ask this for a long time, but why do all of you undergo a transformation after becoming a Herrscher?"
First Herrscher - Uchiha Hoshino: "That is because under the effects of Honkai Energy, our bodies become more perfect, and the Herrscher Armor, Herrscher Dress, and the like on our bodies are also formed by Honkai Energy. They cannot be compared to ordinary clothes."
Orochimaru: "Honkai Energy has this effect too?"
Hiruko: "More perfect?"
Hiruko realized that there were still many flaws in his experiments.
"Perhaps I can use Honkai Energy to cultivate the Chimera Technique..."
"If that's the case, I might even be able to reach the level of fusing with Honkai Beasts like the First Herrscher..."
Hiruko's eyes instantly lit up.
"Hmph! When it comes to the fusion of Bloodline Limits, I am the greatest!"
[Karin walked to the edge of the broken floor, then spread her arms and leaned her body forward.
Then, her high heels lightly pushed off the floor, and her body plummeted towards the ground. The hem of her dress fluttered in the wind like a butterfly with broken wings.
Looking at the rapidly approaching ground, Karin did not feel the slightest bit nervous, because...
Whoosh~
Accompanied by a gust of wind, a butterfly with a wingspan of nearly seven meters appeared beneath Karin, catching her falling body and carrying her high into the sky.
Boom!
The thick clouds were scattered by a force, and sunlight once again spilled across the earth. At this moment, the people of the Reanimation Jutsu who remained in New Konoha dazedly thought they were witnessing a miracle.
The enlarged Death Butterfly carried Karin further and further away until they disappeared at the edge of the sky.
And with Karin's departure, the Honkai Beasts in New Konoha seemed to turn into headless flies, wandering aimlessly within New Konoha.
The Herrscher had left, but the Honkai Energy had not disappeared. The Honkai Beasts still roamed New Konoha. The disaster seemed to have passed, yet it also seemed like it hadn't.
The giant butterfly carrying Karin flew all the way to the east.
They flew out of the Land of Grass, flew past the Land of Fire, crossed the ocean, and arrived at a rather large island.
"Land of Whirlpools, I have returned."
Above the Land of Whirlpools, looking down at this island that she did not have much impression of, Karin revealed a complicated expression.
Following that, the Death Butterfly carried her down into the Land of Whirlpools.
In an instant, countless black substances rose from the island, shrouding the entire island!
On the island, whether animal or plant, anything that touched this black mist was turned to ash.
For a time, the entire island was covered in these black embers.
And in a pond at the center of the island, a black lotus bloomed, wrapping Karin and the Death Butterfly, which had shrunk to the size of a normal butterfly, inside.
Karin held the Death Butterfly against her chest and slowly closed her eyes.]
Haruno Sakura: "Is it over?"
Looking at the Sky Screen, where Karin seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but ask.
With so many big shots around, she originally wouldn't have dared to speak up. However, as a survivor who had personally experienced the First Honkai Impact, the psychological trauma the Great Honkai left on her was simply too immense. She couldn't believe that Karin had actually just flown away without doing anything.
Minato Namikaze: "It looks... like it."
Looking at the Sky Screen, all the ninjas of Konoha breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then it was acceptable.
Compared to the Herrscher flying into a rage and directly wiping out Konoha with a breath attack, simply leaving like this was truly a blessing in disguise.
First Herrscher - Uchiha Hoshino: "Heh~"
Looking at these naive people, Uchiha Hoshi couldn't help but want to laugh.
Senju Tobirama: "What are you laughing at?"
Second Herrscher - Kazahana Koyuki: "Let me explain. The appearance of a Great Honkai will only get stronger each time. The disaster area of this Great Honkai eruption might be even larger than you imagine!"
["We can't stay in New Konoha anymore. Let's go find Tsunade and the others."
Senju Hashirama looked at New Konoha, which was being ravaged by Honkai Beasts, his eyes full of complex emotions.
In the end, he sighed and led the others away from New Konoha.
With the current concentration of Honkai Energy in New Konoha, even if there were no Honkai Beasts around, it would probably be uninhabitable.
However, barely a few miles out of New Konoha, they saw a massive swarm of Zombies gathered. Their hearts sank as they immediately guessed that these Zombies were transformed from the residents of New Konoha.
They could only dispose of these Zombies, but as they continued forward, they kept encountering more Zombies until they saw New Konoha's group of survivors.
"Is it... just you guys?"
Looking at the group of only a few dozen people left, Senju Hashirama felt a heavy heart.
"First Hokage..."
Upon seeing Senju Hashirama, the Jonin leading this squad immediately burst into tears.
"First Hokage, it's tragic, it's too tragic!"
"We took thousands of survivors and left New Konoha at maximum speed. But it wasn't long before signs of Honkai Sickness appeared among the group."
"But before we could even attempt treatment, these people had already transformed into Zombies. We had no choice but to kill them."
"But soon, more and more people developed Honkai Sickness, and more and more turned into Zombies. In the end... in the end, only we ninjas survived. Everyone else... they all died!"
Listening to the Jonin's near-breakdown voice, Senju Hashirama's expression was incredibly grim.
"Has the Honkai Energy actually spread this far?"
Senju Hashirama looked back towards New Konoha. Without the burden of ordinary people, at a ninja's pace, they were at least several dozen kilometers away from New Konoha by now.
Yet Senju Hashirama could still sense extremely dense Honkai Energy flowing in the surrounding air.
"Sage Mode!"
Senju Hashirama immediately clapped his hands together and entered Sage Mode.
Relying on the powerful sensory abilities of Sage Mode, even though he couldn't unleash his full strength due to the Sacrifice, he could still bring out forty to fifty percent of his power after swapping to the Sacrifice Senju Tobirama had specially prepared for him.
And by relying on Sage Mode, he could even sense the entire Land of Fire at this moment!
But exactly because of this, he also sensed just how massive the range of this Honkai was!
"Comparing it to the size of the Land of Fire, its area of effect is at least as large as seventy percent of the Land of Fire."
"The surrounding small countries have all been affected, and even in the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, Honkai Beasts have appeared as well. Even the Land of Wind..."
In the end, Senju Hashirama reached a shocking conclusion!]
Onoki: "What? Even the Land of Earth..."
Rasa: "Even the Land of Wind was affected? You should know that the Land of Rain separates the Land of Grass and the Land of Wind!"
The Tsuchikage and Kazekage were both shocked.
And the surrounding small countries were trembling in fear even more.
Didn't this mean they were dead for sure?
