His form was not a fixed entity, but a constantly surging, changing nebula-like aggregate, composed of cold planetary debris, frozen stellar cores, and endless dark matter, its vastness comparable to a small galaxy.
Countless stars flickered within his body, like his breathing.
He had no specific facial features, but any being that gazed upon him could feel an absolute will that encompassed the universe and disregarded all living things.
His mere existence caused the physical constants within several light-years to become chaotic, light to twist, and gravitational fields to become abnormal.
And Naruto, suspended in this cosmic vacuum, confronted this colossal entity.
His human body appeared incredibly tiny and insignificant in the cosmic vacuum, with only the Rinnegan opened on his forehead burning with an unyielding flame.
"Insignificant worm—how dare you profane a god with a mortal body!"
The god's will swept over him like a supernova explosion, directly impacting Naruto's soul.
"Your existence, your power, will all become a part of me!"
Countless stellar spears, composed of frozen matter and gravitational anomalies, shot out from the god's massive body like a dense meteor shower; each strike contained the kinetic energy to penetrate planets and a strange power to distort rules, instantly engulfing the space where Naruto was!
On a cosmic scale, ordinary Ninjutsu was meaningless.
Naruto's body surged with five hundred million years of life force and the vast Chakra stored in his Yin Seal, raising his various attribute parameters to an extreme, making him a true numerical monster.
The Take-Mikazuchi Mode with all Eight Gates open was still maintained.
Even the Strength of a Hundred Seal, after the release of the Yin Seal, further enhanced Naruto's regeneration and physical functions by another level.
"Am I fighting a true god of the One-Punch World?"
Naruto's Rinnegan on his forehead and his two azure eyes rotated continuously, perceiving the trajectories of the stellar spears.
"Ultimate Shinra Tensei!"
An invisible repulsive field expanded at the speed of light in the vacuum, colliding violently with the stellar spear group!
Countless silent explosive sparks lit up in the universe, like festive fireworks, but each "firework" was enough to vaporize a planet like Earth.
However, the god's attacks were endless.
It could mobilize the fundamental forces of the universe simply by existing.
The gravitational field transformed into an invisible giant hand, attempting to crush Naruto.
Cosmic radiation was gathered into a destructive torrent of energy, surging towards Naruto.
Even space itself began to fold and break, forming dimensional traps.
Such methods clearly transcended the "ordinary" category.
They were far more sophisticated and powerful than all the enemies Naruto had encountered before!
So powerful that they were not on the same dimension of existence!!
Naruto pushed his speed to the limit, constantly flickering through cosmic space, unleashing the Rinnegan's ability—Limbo: Border Jail.
He used Limbo shadows to interfere with the god's perception, and combined Daikokuten with the Preta Path's ability to frantically absorb and convert the incoming cosmic radiation.
He tried to use Super Chibaku Tensei, but the core he condensed instantly collapsed under the god's powerful gravitational field.
Even if Super Chibaku Tensei could seal Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and form a moon, such a satellite is too insignificant for a cosmic-level powerhouse or entity.
To seal a true god of the One-Punch World, or rather, a high-dimensional life form, not to mention Super Chibaku Tensei, even a super-super-super-super Chibaku Tensei would be useless!
He tried to use the Void Cage of the Shadow God-Kingdom for spatial banishment, but found that the surrounding spatial structure had been completely controlled by the god.
Naruto's heart sank completely to rock bottom.
He originally possessed Six Paths level strength.
Yin Seal: Release combined with Eight Gates Take-Mikazuchi had already touched upon or even reached super-Six Paths level.
So even Saitama Orochi would be crushed by Naruto, allowing Naruto, who was exerting his full power, to feel no pressure.
Because of this, Naruto thought he could defeat the god.
But the result—
The god of the One-Punch World was incomprehensibly powerful.
All his methods, Ninjutsu, Rinnegan, including the authority of the Shadow Monarch, were useless.
"Futile struggle. Your power system is vulnerable before the truth of the universe."
The god's will carried cold mockery.
A shockwave composed of dark matter, impossible to observe or defend against with conventional means, silently penetrated all of Naruto's defenses, slamming heavily into his soul!
"Pfft!"
Naruto suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his spirit instantly withered, and the light of his Rinnegan dimmed a few shades.
An attack on the soul level, impossible to guard against!
With Creation Rebirth and the Demon King's Self-Healing stacked, Naruto could instantly reconstruct his body at the cellular level, but this was not a physical injury at all!
The gap was too vast.
The opponent seemed to be the embodiment of rules, the manifestation of the dark side of the universe.
And he was just a somewhat powerful life form with special abilities.
"Surrender, offer up everything you have. The gamble—it's time to end." The god's will carried the meaning of final judgment, and its entire "body" began to contract and condense inwards, as if to transform into a cosmic singularity that would devour everything, reducing Naruto and this space to absolute zero.
Surrender?
End?
Naruto wiped away the "soul blood" from the corner of his mouth, looking at the constantly contracting singularity that emitted an aura of ultimate annihilation, his consciousness wavering in intense pain and nothingness.
The smiles of his companions, the future of the Ninja World, Hinata, Ino Yamanaka, Karin, Shion, Kurenai Yuhi, Tsunade, Nameless, Shinobu Kochou—one after another, figures—scene after scene flashed before his eyes.
"I—have never liked to give up!"
A resilience originating from the deepest, most unyielding part of life, mixed with his unique "transcendent" power, erupted with a roar!
He wasn't fighting alone!
His power came from every single person with whom he had formed a bond!
This bond transcended worlds and space!
"The gamble—it's not over yet!"
Naruto roared, pouring his last will into the dice of the gods!
"My wager—increased! I bet all my bonds, all my karma, all my future!" The dice spun at an unprecedented speed, its light illuminating this dim star field.
"66
Mandatory Rule: Quantum Level Equivalence!!"
This was an all-or-nothing gamble!
The stakes were incredibly high, after all, Naruto's bonds involved more than one world, and his karma and future were unimaginably vast.
[Gamble—accepted!]
The dice of the gods erupted with its final, most intense light, and the power of rules forcibly intervened!
The singularity condensed by the god suddenly paused; it felt its own vast and boundless power being confined by some invisible upper limit!
