Death God Evolution

Divinity (Weak)

Quality: Special

Description: A special trait of a great existence, an extraordinary gift radiating brilliance.

Effect: Unknown

On the ground, the woman’s corpse turned into blue-white ice, completely devoid of life. Her vast spread of blue hair lay on the beach like a flower.

In the sky, the frigid currents rapidly flowed back toward the sea. As Bai Cangshu canceled his ability, the thunderclouds swiftly dispersed.

Japan began warming up rapidly. Not only that, the rituals and altars that had already been erected across various places also began to collapse.

Ordinary people affected by the Ancient Alien God also began returning to normal one by one.

In the distance, the horizon began to brighten. As the frozen sea thawed, the crashing roar of waves rose once more, while the cries of seagulls and birds appeared in the night sky.

It seemed that life itself was beginning to return to this world.

The reincarnators had either died or fled. The monsters drawn in by the Shikon Jewel brought by the reincarnators had also been slaughtered, while the Outer Gods lured over by the reincarnators lost their chance to descend and turned their gaze away.

The world appeared to be on the verge of returning to normal.

Bai Cangshu looked at the Twin Ghouls before him. These two White Walkers lacked frontal combat ability, and now that they sensed the cold receding, they seemed to be growing uneasy.

Under Bai Cangshu’s gaze, they kept backing away.

The phantom of the Omen of the Evil God swayed over Bai Cangshu’s body, but he raised his right hand. White radiance shone from it.

Within the pure-white sea of consciousness, Satoru Gojo, Uchiha Madara, and Millennium Worm stood side by side in a small patch of open ground. This was probably the one place in this soul space of endless battles where they could briefly find peace.

Above them stood a strange broccoli-like plant, still growing slowly.

As the only Special Creation in the entire space aside from the Throne of the Heart, this place was regarded by the souls as somewhere special.

Thus, conflicts constantly broke out here.

Yet in the end, these powerful and clear-minded souls had seized this place.

As the Death God from the Naruto World drifted through the air, it suddenly seemed to sense something and looked upward.

Beneath the Throne of the Heart, a woman with ice-blue hair fell from the sky. Countless strange specks of light drifted down alongside her.

With a swiftness it had never displayed before, the Death God was the first to appear beneath the woman. It spread its arms, while simultaneously removing the ceremonial blade held in its mouth that could sever souls.

The aura of divine power!

Buzz—

Space suddenly twisted, and the Death God was instantly flung away.

Satoru Gojo casually waved both hands before him without a shred of sincerity.

"Sorry, Mr. Death God. I’m pretty curious about the thing you want so badly too~"

Blasted away by the power of Limitless, the Death God was undeterred and rushed forward again. That reaction finally piqued Uchiha Madara’s interest.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly as he shot into the air. The next instant, he directly sent the Death God flying.

Since they were both souls by nature, the Death God had lost many of its advantages when fighting ninjas.

After suffering repeated attacks, the Death God could no longer spare attention for cutting open the woman to search her stomach for divine power. Instead, it directly gathered several specks of divine power from midair.

It immediately felt its form become several times more solid, allowing it to steady itself in the air.

Uchiha Madara and Satoru Gojo noticed the change at the same time.

As a reincarnator, Millennium Worm knew a little more about such things. He frowned, hands in his pockets.

"This is… divine power?!"

"The Death God evolved by devouring divine power?"

Millennium Worm could not understand it. Not long ago, Mercenary Tao had still been evenly matched against him. If not for the "hell" hidden within him, he would probably have been defeated by Mercenary Tao’s Domain Expansion.

How had he come into contact with such a thing so quickly?

Looking at the woman falling from the sky, he could not recall any work that had a Goddess like her.

The only blue-haired Goddess he remembered was that unreliable Goddess of wisdom from a certain work, but the one falling before him was clearly not her in either age or appearance.

Satoru Gojo and Uchiha Madara, both maniacs in pursuit of power, did not care what divine power was. They too seized the remaining divine power.

But as they looked at the specks of light in their hands, neither felt any change in their souls.

"Divine power is probably something only beings with divinity can use. It has no effect on us."

Millennium Worm explained coldly, then leaped high into the air, knocking back the gathering cursed spirits before helping the woman up.

Very quickly, they learned what had happened from the woman, and their expressions turned somewhat strange.

She had actually made a deal with someone like Mercenary Tao, and even handed over her life first…

"Heh, I guess you’re about to be disappointed. That deity was right—Mercenary Tao is a greedy mons—"

Millennium Worm turned around and mocked the woman’s foolishness.

He thought that, given Mercenary Tao’s personality, he would most likely kill the woman first, then kill the Twin Ghouls with their special abilities to gamble on a possible drop.

Satoru Gojo whistled, his expression teasing.

"Haha, sadly, that guy really might be capable of doing something like that…"

Among all the souls, Satoru Gojo had interacted with Bai Cangshu the most, and he understood Bai Cangshu’s way of doing things best. There was no such thing as morality or empathy in him.

Bai Cangshu’s actions were closer to being entirely driven by self-interest.

Trying to move him with begging or pleas was almost impossible.

Uchiha Madara folded his arms and coldly tossed out the divine power. He watched as the Death God swiftly caught it and became even more solid.

It began to emit considerable pressure.

Then, the Death God’s form began to shrink, while soul after soul it had once devoured started being spat out.

Uchiha Madara’s eyes shifted. He saw the Nine-Tails being expelled as well. Although the amount of Chakra and the soul aura showed that this was not the complete Nine-Tails.

But…

Uchiha Madara’s gaze sharpened as he immediately took control of the Nine-Tails.

The next moment, a blond-haired figure also dropped to the ground from the Death God’s abdomen and curiously surveyed the surroundings.

Uchiha Madara had originally held no interest in these weak souls, but then he saw the special Hokage cloak worn by the other man, along with the words revealed when he turned around.

"The Fourth… Hokage?!"

He quickly connected many things.

At the same time, Namikaze Minato turned around and noticed the man with the unmistakable Sharingan in his eyes.

Their auras surged against each other.

Satoru Gojo rested both hands behind his head, with little interest in this sort of battle.

There were simply too many battles happening every moment in this soul space, and he had already begun to grow tired of them.

What interested him more was the host’s transformation. Even from a few scattered words, he could guess that the host was pursuing a power known as the heart.

"Ha~ Interesting. How very interesting… Let me see whether you can obtain that thing!"

Only Millennium Worm continued staring at the Death God that had devoured so much divine power. Its increasingly solid soul began radiating intense pressure.

That feeling could perhaps be called… Spiritual Pressure.

The Death God’s body began shrinking until it was only slightly larger than a normal human, over two meters tall, yet incomparably solid.

The ceremonial blade that severed souls had grown much longer, while the Hannya-like mask on its face had fully solidified into a white bone mask.

Millennium Worm looked at this strange, indescribable thing, his brow twitching. He felt that this thing’s threat level… was extremely high.
