Chapter 982: Hashirama Senju vs. Death God!
"The West River Estuary has fallen so quickly?!"
Sanast, dressed in a red robe that didn't differ much from the black-robed Death Gods around him, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a mix of shock and anger, his tone filled with disbelief.
"You had a 300,000-strong Enma Army there, plus five hundred Death Gods, and you couldn't even hold out for a single day!"
But when he saw the scene of five Colossal Titans transforming and exploding together, he fell silent.
Although such power was nothing significant to him.
He had to admit that on the battlefield, they were indeed terrifying great weapons.
At the same time, this 'Death God Army Commander' also saw the combat performance of other Titan Shifters like the Armored Titan and the War Hammer Titan.
However, these failed to attract Sanast's attention at all.
After all, they were just abilities that looked somewhat strange.
As an expert from this world, he had long been accustomed to such things.
After all, this world not only has things like Devil Fruits, but also many races with special abilities, and even some superpowered individuals among humans.
Not to mention having seen things from other Underworlds in recent years, his perspective had broadened considerably.
"The explosive power of these Titans is indeed not small, but their limitations are also obvious. As long as we Death Gods rush up and engage in close combat, the opponent can't use them unless they want mutual destruction!"
Sanast understood in his heart that facing these Colossal Titans of unknown quantity and unknown explosion intervals.
The Skeleton Legion of the 'Enma Army' could hardly play any role.
Therefore, the subsequent combat could only rely on them, the Death Gods, who could fly and were stronger.
Fortunately, the opponent's other Titans didn't seem very strong and shouldn't be difficult to fight.
Of course, could there be some expert hidden within the opponent's faction?
After all, the opponent was flying the World Government's flag.
This required a little attention.
But just as Sanast was thinking this, he suddenly saw a black space rift appear out of thin air in front of him, with a hint of purple at its edge.
"That is..."
The soul fire in Sanast's skeleton eyes trembled violently.
At the same time, the three thousand black-robed Death Gods behind him all began to show vigilance.
Their ideas were similar: the power from the Ninja World had attacked!
However, that space rift did not grow larger as imagined, but slowly disappeared as two figures emerged.
One was a woman wearing a purple-gold kimono, holding a crimson gold long saber, with a slender and graceful posture, beautiful and full of charm.
The other was a black-haired man wearing crimson hanging armor over a black bodysuit, with a strange headband on his head.
"As expected, they are ninja!"
Upon seeing the headband, Sanast immediately recognized them.
Although he hadn't followed King Yama in attacking the Ninja World Pure Land.
He had seen the souls of a few ninja that Imu had sent before.
Although they didn't wear armor, ninja village headbands were standard issue for everyone.
Only...
"How do you have King Yama's aura on you?!"
Sanast's line of sight suddenly focused on the woman, and at the same time, he opened his right hand, quickly condensing a giant blood-red scythe in his palm.
"That's right, although I've known you for hundreds of years, this is the first time we've met in this form, so I'll introduce myself first..."
"Nice to meet you, Commander Sanast. My name is Enma, and I once had another name, Yama, but that was as a blade."
After speaking, Enma, who had recovered her mature appearance, smiled slightly at the opponent.
"You are the blade King Yama forged in the past!"
Sanast appeared very shocked.
He truly couldn't understand how this blade could turn into a human.
"Yes, but now I am called Enma, and I am no longer King Yama's blade, but Father... Lord Imu's blade!"
"Imu... the Ruler of the World Government?"
Sanast naturally knew Imu.
Connecting this with the World Government's fleet invading the West River Estuary, he immediately realized the opponent had ill intentions.
"That's right, I am acting on Lord Imu's order. From today onwards, I will serve as the Lord of the Underworld, taking over the highest regime of the Sea Star Underworld and managing all Underworld matters on behalf of the World Government!"
Great Enma announced with high spirits, but this caused Sanast to fly into a rage, roaring, "How dare you! King Yama is about to return, you are seeking death!"
"Commander Sanast, I know what you know, so there's no need to scare me with King Yama..."
Great Enma narrowed her beautiful eyes and said lightly.
"King Yama's result is already decided. The day of his rebirth is the time of his complete destruction. I advise you to see the situation clearly. I am very happy to accept you and your Death God Army!"
Sanast fell silent. After a moment, he raised the crimson scythe in his hand and pointed it forward.
He didn't speak, but his attitude had been made clear.
And the three thousand black-robed Death Gods behind him also raised the black scythes in their hands in unison.
"Ah, is it really impossible to persuade?"
Great Enma shook her head with a look of regret.
She sincerely hoped that Sanast would submit to her.
But since things had come to this, she no longer spoke nonsense, turning to look at Hashirama Senju beside her: "Those black-robed Death Gods are yours."
Hashirama Senju, while using Moonwalk under his feet, asked expectantly, "Can I fight this Sanast?"
He naturally hoped to exchange blows with an expert, but Enma replied lightly.
"You are not his opponent!"
As soon as the words fell.
Her expression suddenly turned sharp, and the long saber in her hand was drawn.
In an instant.
An incomparably dazzling golden light illuminated the Netherworld sky, which was as red as fire.
The black-robed Death Gods, illuminated by this golden light, scattered in a hurry like a startled flock of crows.
They seemed extremely disgusted and resistant to this light that carried a warm aura.
However, all the golden light quickly condensed in the air, forming a giant blade light that seemed to pierce heaven and earth, slashing directly towards Sanast.
"The sun's aura?!" Sanast exclaimed.
But the scythe in his hand did not hesitate at all.
He immediately unleashed a terrifying blood-red slash, meeting the incoming golden blade light head-on.
[BOOM!!!]
The moment the two collided, the entire Netherworld sky was forcibly split into two zones.
The invisible yuan qi between heaven and earth vibrated violently like boiling hot water.
The dark earth below began to crack layer by layer.
The surging air current, like a tsunami, completely scattered Hashirama Senju and the three thousand black-robed Death Gods.
Hashirama Senju, who had fallen back to the ground, looked up at the two streams of light still fiercely clashing and continuously unleashing terrifying energy, and murmured in a low voice, "Is this the strength of a higher level..."
He could feel that both Enma and Sanast were stronger than Admiral Aokiji, who had defeated him before.
This made Hashirama Senju's heart surge and his blood boil.
It was just a pity that he was too weak now and couldn't participate at all.
At the same time.
The three thousand black-robed Death Gods turned into afterimages, surrounding and attacking Hashirama Senju from all directions.
"Good timing!!!"
Hashirama Senju was not surprised but happy. He clapped his hands together heavily in front of him and shouted, "Deep Forest Emergence!!!"
