CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 266 : KILLED IN BATTLE

Jigen’s body was never a perfect Karma vessel.

The truly perfected Karma seal, the one meant to fully incarnate Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, was still in development alongside Amado’s human experiments.

Because of this, Jigen could never access the full extent of Isshiki’s god-like powers.

Although White Zetsu’s self-destruction earlier hadn’t mortally wounded him, it left a mark.

Jigen was now a mess. His body torn, chakra system rattled, and pride completely bruised.

Tch. What a pathetic sight—

This was the worst condition Jigen had been in since being ambushed and almost killed by Kaguya millennia ago.

That moment still haunted him.

And now?

One White Zetsu had been dealt with.

But dozens more stood before him, each more refined than the last.

"Bastards..."

Jigen’s gaze locked onto Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Kurama with unrestrained hatred.

If this continued, he’d need Amado to unleash everything—no more holding back.

"Yasogami Kūgeki!"

BOOM!

An avalanche of chakra-infused air fists rained down on Jigen.

This time, it wasn’t White Zetsu launching the assault—it was Kaguya.

Freed by Kurama and enhanced with new powers, she no longer held back.

"Lord Kurama, please watch closely. I’ll deal with him swiftly."

Jigen’s pupils narrowed to black dots.

"What the hell is this?!"

The speed and force behind Kaguya’s Yasogami Kūgeki was beyond anything he remembered.

Not even when she devoured the God Tree’s chakra fruit did she radiate this much power.

Jigen’s instincts screamed at him.

This wasn’t the Kaguya of old.

This was a nightmare reborn.

A flashback of that betrayal—Kaguya driving him to the edge of death—flooded his mind.

He’d thought it fear buried long ago.

But his legs trembled.

This was pure, ancient fear.

"No... This isn’t happening again... It’s not possible!"

His voice wavered.

His knees weakened.

It was shameful.

Terrifying.

The barrage of chakra fists struck like meteorites.

Jigen hastily summoned his Truth-Seeking Orbs, forging a protective dome of black chakra around him.

The orbs—formed from Yin-Yang Release, embodying all chakra natures—should have been impenetrable.

But—

Crack.

The dome fissured.

Another blow.

Crack.

The structure shattered entirely.

Bang!

Fist after fist collided with Jigen’s frame, sending him spiraling across the battlefield.

Blood gushed from his mouth.

His body smashed through a cliff wall with a crunch, collapsing a mountain with the residual shockwaves.

Silence.

Jigen lay buried beneath rubble.

One move.

Just one.

Kaguya stood stunned, staring at her own hands.

"Was that... really my power?"

Her voice trembled.

The woman who had once ruled the world now couldn’t believe her own strength.

Isshiki—who had once rivaled gods—had been swatted like a fly.

"This is what Lord Kurama has given me..."

Kaguya’s lips curled into a slight, dangerous smile.

She had transcended.

Now, even if the Ōtsutsuki Clan descended in full, she no longer feared them.

"Lord Kurama, was that too much?"

She glanced at the crumbled mountain.

Kurama shrugged. "It’s fine. You’re still getting used to the power."

The smoke cleared.

From the rubble, Jigen emerged, barely clinging to consciousness.

Blood dripped from open wounds. His body trembled violently.

He was gasping, his chakra coils spasming from the overload.

Even he, in all his arrogance, couldn’t comprehend the growth Kaguya had undergone.

He stared at Kurama.

"What did you do to her...?"

Kurama said nothing.

Jigen coughed up blood.

This body wouldn’t last long.

Kaguya hovered high above him, looking down with calm hatred.

"Jigen... I should’ve finished you off millennia ago. Now I will."

Fear crawled down Jigen’s spine.

He could feel it—her ultimate move was coming.

The temperature dropped.

A bone-chilling aura surrounded him, making his body lock up.

Kaguya’s dimensional portals—Yomi no Kōra—materialized around him.

He tried to teleport away.

But a gate opened behind him.

And another in front.

Trapped.

A white blur surged through the portal.

Jigen’s eyes widened.

"No... not that—"

All-Killing Ash Bones.

The sharpened bone pierced through his chest with godlike speed.

A silent scream.

His mouth opened, but no sound came out.

He looked down and saw the protruding bone sprouting from his torso.

His eyes filled with terror.

That technique didn’t just kill—it erased existence.

Karma, chakra, and cellular structure all broke down.

"No...! Kaguya, if you kill me... the Clan... they’ll come for you—"

Kaguya’s voice was colder than the void.

"Shame you won’t be around to see it."

His body began to crumble into ash.

The divine bone reduced him to dust.

Piece by piece.

"Sayonara, Jigen."

And with that, he was gone.

Kaguya exhaled.

She landed gently beside Kurama.

For once, her usually stoic face softened.

She smiled.

"Lord Kurama... I was able to fulfill my duty."

Kurama smirked, ruffling her long hair.

"Good job. You getting the hang of that power now?"

"Yes... I feel like I’ve completely mastered it."

But the battle wasn’t over.

The remaining elements of Kara, the remnants still lurking in the shadows, began to emerge.

Modified humans stepped out.

Among them were Diluda, and others like "Wo Lou" and Tangya Senzai—Amado’s experimental trash.

They were twisted things.

Humanoid, but wrong.

Their chakra signatures were artificial.

"Clap, clap, clap."

A slow applause echoed from the trees.

Amado stepped forward, cigarette between his fingers.

"Brilliant. Truly. As expected from the man who supposedly crushed Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama."

Kurama: "...That wasn’t even me, dumbass."

Amado exhaled a plume of smoke.

"But of course, you’re the root of chakra on this planet, aren’t you? The ancient one. You’ve turned Kaguya into a divine weapon."

He grinned.

"I’m impressed. But this is far from over."

He snapped his fingers.

The cyborgs around him powered up, artificial Sharingan and Byakugan glowing.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes.

"You still want to die today, Amado?"

The stage was set.

Round two was about to begin.
