Naruto: Copy System

Chapter 957: [957] : Shock

That kind of lightning power was absolutely not something a lower-tier God like him could possess. In fact, only the Thunder God—one of the absolute strongest Gods in their pantheon—could summon lightning of this caliber.

Suddenly, the blade in Shin's hand dissolved into nothingness amidst the roaring lightning, transforming instead into a brilliant beam of pure white light.

To the untrained eye, the white light might seem unimpressive.

But anyone with real power could sense that this light was brimming with limitless, devastating energy.

At this point, the God of Death was already feeling the pressure. But he was a God! How could he be intimidated by some unknown mortal's power?

He charged at Shin, swinging his massive scythe, clashing head-on with that beam of white light.

A deafening, crackling explosion echoed through the air, and a figure was sent hurtling backward.

Shin was now fully prepared. Putting aside the sheer magnitude of his current strength, just look at his state: he was in a state of Full Hollowfication. And this Hollowfication was entirely different from anyone else's.

This was the Ram Hollow, one of the top five Vasto Lorde transformations.

This Hollow form possessed incredibly lethal offensive capabilities. And his Muteki was a blade forged from pure lightning—arguably the strongest Zanpakutō in the entire Shinigami world.

Gripping the blade of white light, Shin launched himself at the God of Death.

At that moment, Shin felt an endless, inexhaustible well of power—the kind of power that could dominate anything and anyone.

It was coursing through his veins. He looked down at the so-called God of Death.

The two figures clashed in the sky, exchanging blows too numerous to count. However, the God of Death soon realized something terrifying—did this guy have infinite stamina? Who the hell am I even fighting?

He possessed infinite power because he was sustained by the fundamental laws of this world. But where was this mortal getting his endless energy from?

Moreover, that bizarre sword radiated an aura of pure, concentrated death. It was an aura so potent that even he, the God of Death, couldn't fully resist it.

For a fleeting second, he began to doubt his own identity. 'Am I really the God of Death here?'

"What kind of twisted tricks are these? Are you a God of Death from another world?"

"I truly never expected this. No wonder you're so arrogant. But you're forgetting one crucial detail—this world belongs to us."

"You better think this through. Your sword is undeniably powerful. If we weren't fighting in my Domain of Death, I probably wouldn't be able to beat you."

"But here, my power is infinite. And I highly doubt you have much energy left. I'm guessing you're running on fumes."

Shin was slightly surprised. Everything the God of Death said was technically correct. But what did it matter now?

There was no way Shin was going to admit it. He smirked. "I've already killed you over a dozen times. If the laws of this world weren't propping you up..."

"...you would've been dead long ago. But there's one more thing I haven't told you. Who told you I was running out of gas?"

"I have twelve variations of this Hollowfication. And I possess four swords exactly like this one. Surely you didn't know that?"

The God of Death was left speechless. 'What did he just say? He has twelve of these forms? And this isn't even his strongest one?'

That was exactly what he heard. He stared at Shin in utter disbelief. "Impossible. How could you possibly possess so much power? That's impossible."

"Then open your eyes and watch."

Shin wasn't lying. Thanks to his ability to copy everything, he had completely modified the Shinigami powers he wielded.

The Twelve Vasto Lorde corresponded to the Twelve Zodiac Signs.

Ichigo Kurosaki's Horned Hollow form was already capable of obliterating everything in its path.

Yet, among Shin's Twelve Vasto Lorde forms, it only ranked second.

Initially, Shin had planned to use his speed to instantly blitz and kill his opponent. But he figured that wouldn't be very satisfying, so he opted for the Ram Hollow instead. Actually, there was an even higher existence above these.

That was the Hollow King. The true Hollow King.

The Divine Hollow King.

Possessing that power meant wielding the absolute strongest force in the entire Shinigami world.

The power of an entire world wasn't just some ordinary, run-of-the-mill strength. While Shin could technically summon it...

The price was simply too steep. Furthermore, he couldn't perfectly control the Hollow King just yet.

However, he couldn't let this drag on any longer.

He slowly announced, "Twelve Vasto Lorde: Black Horse Hollow."

A dark, horse-skulled mask materialized on Shin's face.

The God of Death instantly felt Shin's power skyrocket to a whole new tier. This was not something he could casually brush off.

Seeing the panicked God of Death, Shin smiled.

"I'm not done yet. What are you rushing for?"

"It seems you really won't be able to defeat me today."

The God of Death tried to maintain his composure. "What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Even if your speed and power have reached this level..."

"...your sword can still only injure me; it cannot kill me outright. I can regenerate endlessly."

"What can you possibly do to me?"

"What can I do to you? Well, there's one more thing I haven't mentioned. This sword of mine can also be upgraded."

"Right now, the sword is only in its first stage. It can actually achieve a fifth-stage."

"And I am fully capable of doing that right now."

"But that's not all. I can summon four of these swords at once—Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. They can also fuse together..."

The God of Death was utterly speechless. 'Just how terrifying is this man's power?'

"What world did you come from? What is your purpose in this world?"

Shin chuckled and replied, "I came here to defeat you Gods, of course. Why would you even ask such a simple question?"

"Whatever. I still need to save someone, so you can go ahead and die now."

He then slowly declared, "Second Stage Bankai."

An unfathomably terrifying power erupted continuously from Shin's body.

"This power is dozens of times stronger than before! How can you possibly wield such energy? This is impossible. It's completely impossible."

"If you can continue to increase your power like this, I doubt even they could defeat you."
