Obito roared furiously, his wounds healing before their eyes, instantly transforming from a body full of holes into a monstrous patchwork of restored flesh.
Seeing this, many in the crowd felt anxious.
The enemy's self-healing ability was outrageously strong. To defeat him, they needed to inflict damage faster than he could recover. Yet none of them knew any Sage Arts. Would relying solely on Lord First Hokage and the other Lord truly be enough?
Obito regained his composure and spoke leisurely, "Sage Arts do not counter my abilities. They merely turn ineffective attacks into actual damage. Under these circumstances, you two alone can never defeat me!"
"That makes sense. That's why I've decided to ask for help!" Mizuki said matter-of-factly.
"Help?" Obito blinked in confusion, then watched as Mizuki formed a seal. A shadow emerged behind him, radiating a holy and divine light like a god's presence.
Everyone watched in stunned amazement.
"What is this? Why do I feel an urge to bow and worship just looking at this light?"
"Just seeing it feels like my soul is being purified!"
It wasn't just them—even Obito, who claimed to be immortal, felt his mind going blank.
In his understanding, only the Shinigami summoned by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal had a similar aura.
However, even the Shinigami summoned through the Dead Demon Consuming Seal had never given him such a feeling of spiritual oppression!
"This is the power of a 'god'?" Seiki mused inwardly. Sage Mode was a given, and he had used the demonic physique many times. Yet, this was the first time he had truly utilized the divine system's power.
Judging from the results now—it looked pretty good!
He hadn't even actively used his abilities yet. This was merely the natural aura radiating from him affecting others!
Those who were friendly toward him would feel spontaneous reverence and worship, while those hostile toward him would feel intimidated and fearful.
If it weren't for Obito having advanced into the Six Paths body, someone like him, with spiritual imperfections, might have gone insane from a mere spiritual shock!
Frowning, Obito said, "This is your strategy? Nonsense!"
Seiki ignored him and manipulated Mizuki's body to step before Jugo. "Jugo, lend me your body."
Though the request sounded somewhat impolite, bathed in divine light, Jugo didn't hesitate at all before agreeing, "Yes!"
Seiki placed Mizuki's right hand on Jugo's forehead, dispersing the natural energy within him outward.
The Divine Cursed Seal—this was one of Aizen's research achievements targeting Jugo!
Green specks of light flew from Jugo's body, drifting down like raindrops. Everyone struck by these droplets shivered slightly as an indescribable force flowed into them.
"This Cursed Seal will allow everyone to temporarily gain Sage Art abilities. Now, you can all participate in the battle!" Seiki announced loudly.
"A Cursed Seal?" Sasuke instinctively touched the back of his neck. The cursed power, once removed by his older brother, had returned. "No, wait—it feels even stronger than before! So this...Mizuki actually…No, wait a minute! This aura—it's from Lord Seiki?"
Sasuke couldn't help but feel a jolt of alarm. Orochimaru had spent over a decade researching before finally developing the Cursed Seals of Heaven and Earth, yet Lord Seiki had simply taken one glance before creating a new type of cursed seal!
Moreover, the Cursed Seal placed immense strain on the body. Kimimaro was the only one able to bear the Cursed Seal of Earth, and only Sasuke himself and Anko could endure the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
But what about the cursed seal created by Lord Seiki? Its power was even greater, yet practically anyone could carry it!
"Indeed," he thought, "compared to that brute Obito, who merely possessed strength without wisdom, Lord Seiki truly seems more like a god!"
Hearing Seiki's words, the Allied Forces members excitedly began testing their newfound power.
Even Tobirama couldn't resist joining in. After a brief test, he remarked with admiration, "So this is the power you've mastered, Aniki? Truly impressive!"
"The truly remarkable one is this leader from a parallel world!" Hashirama couldn't help but exclaim in praise. "To grant everyone the power of Sage Arts? That's simply unheard of!"
"This bastard actually..." Obito could hardly believe his eyes. Had everyone really gained Sage Arts?
"Cursed Seal... then I'll kill you first!" Obito flashed before Mizuki and instantly swung his staff downward fiercely.
Obito's speed was indeed fast. After advancing into the Six Paths body, he had already surpassed human limits. If this were Seiki's real body or a clone, there would naturally be no problem.
But Mizuki's body was indeed somewhat weak. Even though his mind could keep up, it was difficult for him to control his body to react in time.
Fortunately, behind him stood a "godlike" illusion capable of disrupting the minds of approaching enemies—in short, an IQ-reducing aura (or "debuffing aura")!
As Obito prepared to smash his enemy's skull with the staff, suddenly a lightning bolt struck his mind, "Wait, something's off. This guy looks calm and collected, so there must be a trap waiting for me!"
Thinking this, Obito hurriedly retreated.
Once outside the IQ-lowering aura, Obito's clever intelligence took over again. "Wait a minute... what calm and collected? His face was blank—he hadn't even registered what was happening! Dammit, I actually got scared by him!"
Obito approached once more, ready to swing his staff when he suddenly froze. The staff froze mid-air. "Wait, what was I about to do again?"
Seiki casually greeted him, "Hey there!"
Obito shyly responded, "U-uh, hello. Excuse me, do you know why I'm here?"
Seiki spoke with absolute seriousness while spouting nonsense, "You're lost and came here to ask for directions. You should go straight back the way you came."
Obito suddenly understood and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you! You're such a good person!"
After Obito turned around and left, Seiki immediately gave the order, "Focus fire on him!"
The Allied Forces members had been watching the performance with completely bewildered expressions. Suddenly hearing Seiki's voice, they quickly focused and combined their Cursed Seal powers with Ninjutsu.
[Sage Art: Grand Fireball Jutsu!]
[Sage Art: Water Dragon Bullet!]
[Sage Art...]
After walking a few steps away, Obito finally realized, "Wait, wasn't I supposed to kill him...?"
Then, Sage Art attacks from all directions engulfed him!
Seeing the helpless Obito at the mercy of Seiki, Madara was deeply shaken. "There's something off about that man—stay far away from him!"
"Arrghhh!" A furious, humiliated roar burst through the dusty air. "You're all going to die!"
As the words faded, a gigantic tree erupted from the energy shockwaves, its massive roots plunging into the ground like mountain pillars!
The onlookers, who'd been eagerly waiting for the result, were shocked by the sudden twist.
"What the hell is this thing? Another yao monster?"
"It kind of looks like the Ten-Tails... but not really!"
"True. The Ten-Tails looks more human, but this one is nothing but a tree!"
"This... is the God Tree?" Seiki thought. He had never seen its full form before.
