Chapter 974: Admiral Kizaru's Method of Participation!
"You humans can never defeat Supreme Demons. This is a truth verified through countless wars!"
"Fire Devil Magic!!!"
Naamah looked coldly at Sakazuki, who was propelling himself upwards with magma jets from below, and shouted.
At the same time.
Waves of black flame, dark as ink, surged out from its left hand again.
The terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to boil once more, becoming blurry and distorted in the violent churning.
"In this world, besides justice, nothing else is absolute. And justice belongs only to humans!"
"If you cannot understand, then I shall grant you a complete and utter defeat!"
Sakazuki's right arm swelled madly amidst his roar. Large amounts of magma and black smoke mixed together, quickly forming a giant magma fist.
"Great Eruption!!!"
[Boom——————]
Black flame collided with magma.
Instantly, gale surged, and the rumble was deafening.
The surrounding air was instantly sucked dry, forming a visible violent energy blast that swept across the entire scene.
However, the result was beyond Naamah's expectation.
The magma fist was not quickly swallowed by the black flame.
Or rather, the speed at which it was swallowed couldn't keep up with the speed at which the magma was generated.
Even the outer layer of magma, which the black flame had attached to, would automatically detach, while the main body of 'Great Eruption' still aggressively blasted towards Naamah's location.
It was like a giant fist made of magma, enduring wave after wave of black flame, determined to land a punch on it!
"That guy is hiding inside!" Naamah immediately reacted.
Its guess was correct. Sakazuki was indeed inside the 'Great Eruption'.
His fighting style was similar to Crocodile's.
Both aimed to close the distance and engage in melee combat.
The difference was that his strength in all aspects was stronger, and he didn't need to face the mixed attack of demonic fire and demonic ice.
The latter was especially important.
Naamah's demonic fire and Lilith's demonic ice, when used individually, were not completely irresistible to Sakazuki, Kuzan, or even Crocodile and Hong Lian.
But once the two were mixed, their power was truly extraordinary.
Crocodile couldn't block it, and Sakazuki would likely be injured.
However, their demonic fire and demonic ice.
The most troublesome aspect was their targeting of the concept of rules.
But the problem was that the Mag-Mag Fruit and Ice-Ice Fruit abilities inherently lacked much in the way of rules concepts.
It wasn't completely absent.
The former's ability to burn out flames was a rule, which is why it was ineffective against Naamah's black flame.
Logically, the magma from the Mag-Mag Fruit should have a counter effect against most flames.
Unfortunately, Naamah's black flame could just happen to incinerate all of its special abilities.
As for the latter's recently learned 'Maha Padoma', it also counted as a type of rule ability.
This was precisely why Kuzan, who was further away, hadn't used it yet.
Not only was it useless, but it also wasted stamina.
However, Kuzan had his own idea. He felt that he shouldn't just blindly chase the opponent. He also needed to find a method to restrict the opponent's range of activity and force them into melee combat with him as much as possible!
For this reason, upon seeing Sakazuki charge out.
Kuzan used his awakening ability without hesitation.
"Ice Age!!!"
As his voice fell.
Lilith, his opponent, immediately sensed the strangeness of heaven and earth.
The entire earth vibrated violently with a 'rumble', followed by icebergs rising one after another.
At the same time.
Above, a giant vortex-like blizzard quickly formed. Even from the moon, one could see the changes happening here.
Lilith glanced at the rolling wind and snow pouring down from above, then lowered its head to look at the icebergs that were beginning to emit thick cold air.
"Stupid human, do you intend to freeze me, a demonic ice demon?"
After speaking, it couldn't help but laugh inwardly, covering its scarlet lips halfway and bursting into maniacal laughter.
"Ah ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha!"
Kuzan had no interest in explaining to it.
When the blizzard completely enveloped the entire earth, his entire figure also disappeared without a trace.
"Hmm?"
The next second, Lilith realized something was wrong.
And behind it, Kuzan, covered in frost, quickly materialized.
The ice blade that had appeared in his hand at some point heavily slashed towards the back of the opponent's neck.
However, this ruthless strike merely cut through the air.
Lilith had also transformed its body into ice, scattering within the surging wind and snow.
Clearly, they could also use element transformation!
Simultaneously, Lilith shaped its left arm, which was completely condensed from black ice, into a crude, ferocious black spear filled with barbs and thrust it forcefully towards Kuzan.
Kuzan was not surprised.
In his opinion, as long as he could constantly attack Lilith, it was a success.
As for victory or defeat, it clearly wouldn't be decided in a short time.
The next moment.
The black ice spear and the white ice blade collided heavily.
[Clang!]
Cold air surged, and ice flowers splattered everywhere.
A powerful air current formed a ring and swept out in all directions.
Lilith's scarlet eyes, filled with the most malicious killing intent towards humans, met Kuzan's calm yet resolute gaze.
There was no retreat, no dodge.
Through his gaze, and also through the force of the ice blade in his hand, Kuzan silently conveyed his will. He was telling Lilith that he would definitely win this combat!
"Don't get carried away! You humans are only fit to entertain me with your screams, wails, and despair, and then die!!"
For some reason, Kuzan's gaze suddenly enraged Lilith.
In an instant, countless sharp black ice generated out of thin air, causing black frost thorns to spread everywhere in this sky obscured by the blizzard.
Not far away.
Sakazuki's rage, accompanied by every magma fist he threw, poured out onto the black flame released by Naamah without reservation.
At the same time.
The more than ten active volcanoes that had appeared on the earth at some point also cooperated with Sakazuki's offensive, erupting lava pillars one after another, surrounding Naamah's direction of movement.
The entire scene was so spectacular it was jaw-dropping and terrifying.
To use volcanoes as anti-aircraft guns, only Sakazuki could do that!
On the other side.
The exhausted Ninja Alliance Army, under the command of Ōnoki, Rasa, Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, Chiyo, and others, mostly successfully retreated behind the defense line established by the Third Division and Fifth Division to rest. A small portion remained as rear guard personnel and were successively killed by the demons.
However, their sacrifice also bought sufficient preparation time for the army side.
At this moment, everyone had finished loading their seastone bullets.
And in the air, cannon fire from the three artillery regiments in the rear was still bombarding the middle and rear of the demon army, drowning large numbers of mid/lower-rank demons in fierce explosions.
"Open Fire!"
"Open Fire!"
"Open Fire!"
Just then, as the last surviving ninja returned.
The officers on the frontline looked at the charging demons and issued orders filled with killing intent.
[Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat]
[Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat]
In an instant, gunshots roared, and the muzzles of heavy assault rifles and heavy machine guns began to emit bright flashes.
Dense, countless large caliber bullets instantly formed an overwhelming metal firepower net, taking down the demons in the front ranks in batches.
The four airships belonging to the Air Force Headquarters in the air also unleashed their full firepower, continuously pouring their cannon fire onto the demons below.
"Report! Ten 'Conquerors' have arrived! Awaiting instruction!"
Charlotte Oven and Dalmatian received this news almost simultaneously, and their reactions were largely the same.
"Then what are you waiting for? Push them forward and kill those damn demons!!"
Charlotte Oven roared.
Seastone bullets could only knock down demons, but couldn't kill them outright.
The light ability of these 'Conquerors' came from Admiral Kizaru and would definitely have the effect of easily killing demons.
Not long after, whether it was Ōnoki, Jiraiya, and other ninjas, or the army soldiers who were fiercely shooting, they all saw five-meter-tall, blue-haired figures with double horns walking out from their own ranks.
War weapons using 'Tyrant King' Avalo Pizarro as the clone.
Twenty Conquerors!
The World Government had thrown most of the Academy of Science's stock into the Ninja World!
[Beep————]
[Beep————]
[Beep————]
Golden, brilliant light beams began to converge in the mouths of these 'Conquerors'.
Borsalino probably didn't expect that he would participate in the war on the Ninja World side in this way.
