Chapter 864: Chapter 33: Humans, Witch, and Demon_4
Chakra is merely the medium for conveying darkness; its essence is the darkness of the human heart, a stark contrast to the Tailed Beast’s existence.
The Tailed Beasts are based on chakra, influenced by the dark parts of the human heart, causing the chakra to become violent.
How could a sealing treasure tool that targets chakra be effective against a creature like it?
The mouth of the Amber Purifying Pot before Hakushi suddenly burst forth with a white holy light, the body of the pot flashing with white barrier jutsu, creating a terrifying suction force on Mouryou’s body and soul.
"Damn it! This combines the Witch’s jutsu?"
Betrayed.
Having lost part of its body and soul, Mouryou suddenly felt agitated.
"Casually lending the Witch’s power to humans, are they really worth your sacrifice? Answer me, Mire!"
Compared to losing part of its body and soul, Mire’s trust in humans was the real reason for its anger.
Why go to such lengths?
Why fight for humans?
Why always oppose it?
Thousands of years of entanglement, is it not enough to repay humans?
Despite being non-human... still retaining a ’human heart’?
How pitiful!
How foolish!
Mouryou’s heart was somehow filled with the desire to destroy everything.
Watching the Witch sacrifice step by step for foolish humans.
This obsession has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Mouryou could not understand, nor could it agree.
Aren’t they the same kind?
The only two individuals of their species in the world.
They should be on the same side.
Why kill each other?
Trapped in an unchanging tragic cycle for a thousand years?
It’s all these hateful humans, all these boring ninjas, who created such a sorrowful world.
If it weren’t for these foolish creatures, then it could reach that purity and light.
This purity and light, humans have no right to possess!
"I want to destroy everything in the human world and welcome back my true kin—"
Then, establish a Dark Empire with no humans.
Let the Witch be the only light to illuminate it in the darkness.
This ambition is about to be fulfilled.
No one is allowed to ruin it.
"Die, filthy worms!"
A dark torrent shot out from the magma.
Unlike tentacles, it was Mouryou’s most essential darkness, a crystallized product of its condensed darkness.
A dark power humans absolutely cannot resist.
Anyone would be eroded by such darkness.
Humans are inherently aggregations of selfish desires; before its most essential darkness crystal, no matter how powerful a ninja is, there would be a gap in their spirit.
The spreading dark torrent, like an ocean, flooded and overwhelmed.
In an instant, the position where Hakushi and the others stood was completely consumed.
The world was stained black.
Only Mire’s standing spot was shielded by a holy barrier, unaffected.
"Haha, spread, keep spreading, this world will soon be mine! Mire, do you see, this is humanity! Compared to me, they are the true evil! Before my darkness, they can only become the nourishment to enhance my power!"
The emotions boiling within it were released alongside its laughter.
Below the magma, the blood eyes burned with a fierce desire for world destruction.
The twisted and frantic pleasure had never been so exhilarating.
Just a bunch of bugs, being invaded by its darkness proves how selfish and greedy humans are.
The dark power deep within the human heart.
"Indeed... my suspicions were correct..."
A voice that shouldn’t have appeared interrupted Mouryou’s laughter.
The dark torrent disappeared, although it had successfully merged into its body, Hakushi stood there unharmed, merely turning his neck slightly with a smile, eyes remaining clear, unaffected by Mouryou’s darkness.
"!?"
This scene, Mouryou couldn’t understand.
Why wasn’t Hakushi affected by its darkness.
Impossible, that level of dark negative energy should be an attack humans absolutely cannot withstand.
Is this human its kind?
No, there was no sense of kindred from him.
He was just a human.
Why?
Countless questions arose in Mouryou’s heart, but not a single one offered a satisfying answer.
"Haven’t you realized yet?"
"What?"
Mouryou’s tone became uncertain.
"I told you from the beginning, I’ve seen through your tricks. All your talk of dark evil is merely using chakra as a medium to achieve control and erosion. The last time we encountered, I already learned all your info, weaknesses included, and how to target them."
"Could it be..."
Mouryou thought of something.
"Just as you thought, my body has no chakra left; no matter how heavy the darkness, once you block the ’chakra’ transmission channel, it becomes useless."
Chakra can that convey will, this is the consensus in the Ninja Realm.
The reason Mouryou could control the human spirit is because chakra conveyed consciousness through a special channel.
Because of this, humans facing Mouryou had no power to resist.
As long as the humans’ bodies still possess chakra, a conveyer of consciousness, Mouryou can utilize it to erode humans through this channel.
To meet the conditions for battling Mouryou, one must first remove chakra from their body.
But there’s a problem too, humans would die if they lost their chakra.
Hence, seeing chakra-less Hakushi still lively here would seem quite incredible for Mouryou.
"Impossible, how could a human live after losing chakra—"
"Witches have their ways, humans have theirs too. Don’t underestimate the weight of the word ’human’, humans aren’t as incompetent as you think, adolescent dark creature."
Hakushi’s firm and calm voice slowly echoed throughout the vast space.
These words further stabbed Mouryou’s heart, anger roaring under the magma.
