Almost the instant Imu finished speaking, terrifying black flas engulfed the entire Heaven World.
Muspelheim!
It was a fla incomparably more powerful than the ra ra no Mi.
Naruto could even hear the wails of the dead within the crackling of the fire.
In a single strike, the Heaven World was completely set ablaze.
Steel lted into molten tal, rock into magma.
The flas not only easily incinerated the remaining ruins of the Heaven World but also ignited the main trunk of the Adam Tree.
Had anyone else been here, even if they survived the flas, they would have died from subsequent suffocation.
Fortunately, Naruto was no ordinary person... he couldn't even be considered human.
The Otsutsuki Clan was a race capable of traversing the stars. re inability to breathe was nothing.
A white coat, sowhat similar to Isshiki's, draped over Naruto, with nine magatama patterns on the back representing Otsutsuki power.
This was a slight modification he had made to his complete form, drawing inspiration from Isshiki's 'style'.
After all, compared to Isshiki, who was clearly more fashionable, Kaguya's old-style robe was rather unsightly and not very practical for combat.
Two backward-curving horns also grew from the top of Naruto's head, and a third eye opened on his brow.
anwhile, several black Truth-Seeking Balls floated and revolved around him like planets orbiting a star.
"That form again..."
Imu naturally rembered that when he had used the [Mother Fla] to launch the attack in an attempt to sink Impel Down, Naruto had also assud this inhuman form.
Of course, what left an even deeper impression on him was—
"The sa as that one who stole Mu's power."
He was referring to Kaguya, who had taken advantage of Imu's use of Domi Reversi to devour a large portion of his spiritual power.
Frankly, Imu's hatred for Kaguya was no less than his hatred for Naruto.
Now that Kaguya was dead, that hatred was also added to Naruto's tab.
He abandoned the idea of continuing his long-winded speech and launched a full-powered attack directly at Naruto.
"...With this newly acquired power."
Thorheim!
The giant's mouth opened, and pitch-black lightning, like a torrent, appeared before Naruto in an instant.
It was lightning far more terrifying than that produced by a certain God or Big Mom's Homie, Zeus.
Neither in intensity nor speed could they compare.
—Even Loki himself might not have wielded this technique with such power.
Imu, having lived for who knows how many millennia, clearly knew about the Nidhoggr Fruit long before Loki. His use of its power was no less skilled than Loki's.
But...
"You really don't learn from your mistakes, do you."
Naruto simply shook his head gently, not even bothering to form a barrier with his Truth-Seeking Balls.
The black lightning almost instantly swallowed his form.
Though it was just a 'breath', given Imu's current size, the range of this attack unleashed from his mouth was far from small.
But strangely, behind Naruto's position, there was very little residual lightning.
The annihilated lightning seed to have been absorbed by sothing.
Absorption!
Yes!
Imu finally recalled, hurriedly closing his mouth, and the terrifying torrent of lightning ceased.
As the lightning faded, Naruto remained in place, having transford into a human-shaped black hole using the Kokugan's Dojutsu, Onogoro.
"..."
Naruto opened his mouth, but because sound waves were also absorbed, Imu could not hear him.
But that did not stop Imu from knowing what would happen next.
Svartalfheim!
A massive pitch-black wall silently materialized from the void, as if it had always belonged there, blocking the path between Naruto and Imu.
Almost simultaneously, the converted and concentrated energy beam erupted from the chest of Naruto in his small black hole state, slamming directly into the wall that seed to have been pulled from the ancient past.
The wall appeared to be composed of so kind of tal, yet it did not lt under the intense heat of the energy beam.
It was as if the tal constituting this wall, once cast, could never be lted again.
And that was essentially true.
Imu had considerable confidence in the defensive power of this wall… even he would struggle to destroy it quickly.
But he overlooked one point.
Zzztt—
The mont the high-energy beam was blocked, Naruto vanished from his spot, teleporting behind Imu using Anotorifune.
That wall was indeed impenetrably hard, but unless Imu used it to wrap himself in an airtight sphere, it was useless against soone who could teleport at will.
The beam pierced the crown atop Imu's head without hindrance… had his reaction not been so swift, it would have been his head instead.
"Damn it!"
Having his crown pierced seed to touch a nerve with Imu, causing this always lofty being to curse like a common ruffian.
But there was no ti for anger. Naruto was already directing the laser beam downward, about to cleave Imu in two.
Midgard!
It was not the massive bridge forged from rainbow that could dock airships in Elbaf, but a shimring ring of light.
The mont the ring enveloped him, Imu's speed suddenly multiplied several tis over. He evaded like a phantom, then attacked Naruto without pause.
"If energy attacks are ineffective, how about this!"
Grotesque, sharp dragon scales rapidly erged from his skin, and his entire form swelled and stretched into a massive, pitch-black evil dragon.
The Nidhoggr Fruit was considered Elbaf's national treasure not only because it possessed all the powers of a mythical beast but also because it was arguably the largest among all Zoan-type fruits.
—The reason for saying 'arguably' was due to needing to account for the mutated Garuda Fruit, which had been altered by alien influence.
This power of gigantification could only be maximized when consud by a giant.
And when Imu seized Loki's body and further enhanced it with his own demonic power, this form could continue to grow.
Jotunheimr!
This was a power of Nidhoggr that even Loki himself had not known.
That ferocious draconic form swelled dozens of tis over in the span of a breath.
Now, it finally resembled the legendary destroyer that 'gnawed at the roots of the World Tree'.
At this point, Imu could truly be described as 'blotting out the sky'. His three pairs of dragon wings unfurled, completely cutting off the sunlight that perpetually bathed the Adam Tree's summit.
Simultaneously, both the surface and the Underworld were plunged into darkness.
"Roar!"
The slender high-energy beam pierced Imu's body, but given his size, the wound was trivial, not even requiring his immortality to heal. Simply contracting his muscles was enough to stop the bleeding.
It was like an acupuncture needle to a human.
The massive dragon claws descended like apocalyptic hamrs, the re shockwaves from their movent enough to annihilate an entire fleet.
Yet, facing this cataclysmic attack, Naruto, having reverted from his Onogoro state, remained calm.
—Frankly, even he did not know his current limits. Even Imu, in his present state, did not pose a fatal threat.
But...
"I can't let you run rampant like this."
Otherwise, forget the Heaven World, all of Elbaf would be shaken apart.
"Then let's try this technique..."
As he spoke, Naruto opened one of his palms.
In the center of his palm was actually another Kokugan!
But the pattern of this Kokugan was different from his own. It was closer to Isshiki's, only with the colors reversed… black background with a yellow border.
"Ew..."
Even Naruto himself seed sowhat unaccustod to having an eye on his hand, instinctively pulling back.
But considering the dragon's claw was about to land, he didn't waste any more ti and decisively activated the new power he had obtained from Isshiki's remnants and Jigen's body.
"Brahma."
Boom!
Under Imu's disbelieving gaze, Naruto, who had seed as insignificant as dust, began to grow at a terrifying speed.
Ten ters, a hundred ters, a thousand ters, ten thousand ters...
The massive dragon claw, which should have crushed an entire section of the canopy, now rely 'gently' landed on the giant's shoulder, unable to even shake his form.
"Seems like I'm the bigger one now."
Naruto grinned, looking at the dragon before him.
His words had beco like booming thunder due to his increased size.
"How... is this possible..."
For once, Imu was incredulous.
He had used his own fruit, Loki's body, and Nidhoggr's power to beco this massive. What right did Uzumaki Naruto have?
Otsutsuki power, kid.
Imu was simply unfortunate enough to clash with Naruto just as he had acquired this new strength.
Crack—
A sharp sound echoed across Elbaf, causing Naruto, who had been about to speak, to frown.
He quickly recognized the source.
The Adam Tree's branch had cracked!
"Looks like we can't fight here... Let's find another spot."
Saying this, Naruto's hand clamped down on Imu's neck like a steel vise, pinning him down.
"Roar!!"
Imu opened his massive mouth, unleashing a breath of mixed fla and lightning toward Naruto's chest, but it was blocked by the Truth-Seeking Balls.
In the next instant, Anotorifune activated, and their forms swiftly vanished from the Heaven World.
