Chapter 180 - 180

"Namikaze Kirito!"

The Sage of Six Paths' face twisted hideously.

His Rinnegan, which should have been a clear purple, were now stained with a faint blood-red hue.

Or rather—

Not the Sage of Six Paths himself.

But the will possessing him.

A will that came from a far higher dimension.

The will of Shibai Ōtsutsuki.

He remembered everything that had happened to him.

A being he regarded as an insect had humiliated him.

His emotions ignited completely.

On the other side, Namikaze Kirito merely picked at his ear with an indifferent expression, as if the shout had actually hurt his hearing.

"I heard you. I heard you."

He glanced at him lazily.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"You're the one who pushed me this far!"

The Sage of Six Paths roared with all his strength.

In the next instant, a brilliant multicolored glow suddenly appeared around his body, and his entire figure began turning transparent again.

Seeing this, a faint trace of success flashed through Namikaze Kirito's eyes.

But the disgust in his voice did not fade at all.

"So what if I forced you?"

He sneered.

"Do you even dare descend completely into this lower dimension?"

"No matter what you claim to be, you still lost. In the end, you needed to possess a human you despise just to interfere here."

"What a cowardly god."

"Nonsense!"

The Sage of Six Paths' voice became distorted.

"No one can defy me!"

As soon as those words fell, the Sage of Six Paths disappeared from in front of Namikaze Kirito and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

At the same time, the entire sky darkened.

Fierce winds howled.

Dark clouds rolled across the heavens.

Within the pitch-black clouds, traces of lightning flickered faintly.

This was the appearance of the world's order restoring itself.

"Namikaze Kirito."

The voice seemed to come from the sky.

At the same time, it seemed to come from every direction at once.

It was still the voice of the Sage of Six Paths.

But compared to the hoarse madness from before, this voice was now perfectly calm.

Once the possessing will discarded the concept of being alive and returned to observing the world from a higher dimension, all emotions vanished with it.

Because of that, the voice no longer carried even the slightest hatred when it called Namikaze Kirito's name.

"Namikaze Kirito. You are a variable in this world."

"As the observer of this world, I shall punish you and erase you from this world."

"The true world is about to restart."

Hearing this, Kaguya glanced at Namikaze Kirito with worry.

She did not want anything to happen to the person standing before her.

Although she had never felt this way before, she understood one thing clearly.

Namikaze Kirito had already become very important to her.

Sensing Kaguya's worry, Namikaze Kirito turned his head and gave her a reassuring look.

Then he looked back toward the sky.

That's right.

This was his plan.

The being behind the Sage of Six Paths had said it himself earlier.

Because it came from a higher dimension, it could not fully interfere with the lower world freely.

That was why, from the beginning, Namikaze Kirito had been provoking the will possessing the Sage's body.

Now, the goal had been achieved.

The higher-dimensional will was about to attack him directly.

This was a very good result.

Of course, Namikaze Kirito was also gambling.

He knew very well that as long as that terrifying will continued watching this world, he would never truly be safe.

So he was gambling.

The existence that had sent him here would definitely make a move.

It was impossible for it to throw him into this strange world for no reason.

Likewise, in order to uncover the other party's true purpose, even if a greater danger waited for him beyond this, it was still better than being kept in the dark.

"Disappear completely from this world, Namikaze Kirito."

As the voice fell from above the sky, a white beam of light descended.

The instant it shone over Namikaze Kirito, he reached out and pushed Kaguya away.

"No!"

Kaguya immediately tried to rush back in.

But Namikaze Kirito used his ability to hold her in place.

At that moment, she could only watch anxiously with those pale Byakugan eyes.

The white light completely enveloped Namikaze Kirito.

Kaguya could clearly see that his legs had already begun turning illusory.

That transparency continued spreading upward.

Before long, Namikaze Kirito's entire body had become almost completely transparent, as if a single breath could wipe him away.

And yet, the strange thing was—

He still had that same smile on his face.

As if he did not care about his own disappearance at all.

Boom!

Just as Namikaze Kirito was about to vanish completely, a special force suddenly appeared.

It directly scattered the white light.

Namikaze Kirito's figure solidified once again.

The moment Kaguya regained control of her body, she immediately appeared at his side and carefully looked him over, as if afraid he might disappear in front of her eyes.

Seeing this, Namikaze Kirito could not help feeling a little speechless.

I did not even do anything, right?

Why is Kaguya acting like the two of us are already lovers?

Of course, he did not know.

For countless years, Kaguya had never truly cared about another person.

No one had ever entered her eyes.

But now, a man had appeared before her.

Not only had he defeated her head-on, but he had also shown her the truth of this world.

He had even saved her.

Without realizing it, Namikaze Kirito's figure had already been engraved into her heart.

At present, she still did not understand what this feeling meant.

She only knew that the man before her was very important to her.

Naturally, Namikaze Kirito would not reject Kaguya's kindness.

He gently held the small hand that kept checking him and spoke softly.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"Mm."

Kaguya suddenly realized that her heart was beating very fast.

Even her face felt faintly hot.

But she did not hate this feeling.

So she allowed him to hold her soft, boneless hand.

Just as the two were surrounded by that strangely gentle atmosphere, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Impossible!"

"You cannot interfere here!"

"What are you…?"

The voice paused.

Then, as if it had understood something, it became quiet.

"I see."

"So you are the Devourer."

"It seems I cannot escape."

"In that case… from this moment onward, this world is yours."

After those words fell, peace returned between heaven and earth.

Namikaze Kirito's Golden Rinnegan looked directly into the sky.

He knew that the will of Shibai Ōtsutsuki had disappeared at that moment.

The pair of eyes that had been watching him all this time had also vanished.

"In other words, even Shibai's will was not truly free?"

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Are you…"

Just as Namikaze Kirito was thinking carefully, a small figure wrapped in golden light appeared before him.

The reason it looked small was because it only reached his waist.

"Namikaze Kirito."

The golden figure spoke calmly.

"This is the second time we have met."

Kirito looked at it.

"Then is it time for you to tell me the truth?"

"It seems you are very clever. You already guessed that I would appear."

The golden figure's voice carried a faint smile.

"Then it was not a waste for me to place you in this world."

Kirito's expression did not change.

"Who are you?"

"And why did you choose me?"

"Do not worry. I will explain everything to you."

The golden figure raised one hand.

"But before that, I will give you something useful."

As it spoke, a white sphere appeared in its palm.

With a light flick of its finger, the white sphere drifted toward Namikaze Kirito.

Then it merged completely into his body.

Namikaze Kirito carefully sensed the changes within himself, then frowned slightly.

His strength had not increased.

There was not even the slightest change.
