Chapter 41 - Chapter 40: The Void ii

Toneri increased his speed to four thousand times faster than sound(Mach 4000), becoming nothing more than a streak of emerald light in the void, weaving through their attacks with incredible agility. Despite his efforts, there were a few close calls, but he managed to evade each assault by eradicating them with his yang release.

"Yasogami Kūgeki!" (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Fists) he muttered, unleashing a barrage of enormous emerald fists from above. These fists rained down at speeds far surpassing lightning, each with the destructive capability to erase a city. The continental-sized monsters were struck by the fists, chunks of their forms being obliterated. Some of the fists crashed into the planet-sized monsters, causing massive damage.

The void shook with the impact of Toneri's attacks. Despite the destruction, the monsters continued to advance, their forms regenerating rapidly. Toneri summoned more techniques, using "Tenseigan Chakra Mode: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" to create a gigantic vortex of energy that tore through the monsters, scattering them across the void.

As he battled, something attempted to grab him from behind. He swiftly formed a new Gudodama (Truth-Seeking Ball) in his hand, channeling his Tenseigan chakra into it and shaping it into a broad sword. "Sei Chōseki Kinbō Tensei Baku!" (Orthoclase Wheel Reincarnation Explosion) he called out, swinging the sword and causing a matrix of colored energy to engulf the intended target and countless monsters.

"FWOOOOOOOOOOM"

The matrix expanded, breaking down the physical and spiritual energy of everything within it, erasing the separated components from existence. The attack cleaved through tens of millions of void monsters erasing them from existence before reaching one of the planet-sized monsters, reducing it to nothing as well almost instantly due to the it destructive nature .

Toneri observed the effects of his attack. "It works well against these entities," he thought. "This technique is a great defensive measure against most attacks."

The Empty Hand watched Toneri with keen interest. 'This foreign god wields power comparable to the New gods and Earth gods, maybe even more,' he thought. 'His strength and versatility are impressive. He could be a valuable asset or a formidable opponent.'

As the battle raged on, Toneri continued to fend off the void creatures, his mind focused on finding a way to escape as his tenseigan shun with ethereal light. 'This is starting to annoy me, I still can't pinpoint the frequency because of the chaotic energy all around here,' he thought.

The Empty Hand observed, his expression one of malevolent amusement. "You think you can escape, little god? This is my domain, the primordial darkness. You cannot leave unless I will it."

Toneri's eyes narrowed, a cold, intense light twisting in his azure Tenseigan patterns. He chuckled, his voice echoing in the void carried by his immense chakra. "Unless you will it?" he repeated mockingly. "Very well then."

Slowing his speed, his form shifted from the streak of emerald light and became visible again. Seeing this, the entire void surged toward his position. Countless eyes turned to him, billions of demonic and grotesque arms extended towards him, and innumerable maws with razor-sharp teeth opened up to swallow him whole. Some entities morphed into nightmarish horrors, others flew at him in the shapes of dragons, gargoyles and other unknown abominations forgotten to time, while a few took on the colossal forms of leviathans resembling Cthulhus with writhing forms and shapes ever changing from forms to forms all intended to bring an untold amount of horror to all that exists.

The Empty Hand cackled, reveling in the sight of Toneri seemingly not moving and just floating there shining like a beacon. "Have you finally understood, young god, how futile your efforts are? You cannot and will not escape, for I will not allow—" He paused, noticing Toneri's palms coming together in a familiar prayer hand sign. "Huh, what's this? Are you praying?"

Toneri's voice was steady and resolute as he muttered, "Ganrin Tensei Baku"(Prayer Wheel Reincarnation Explosion). He pulled his palms apart, manifesting two Truth-Seeking Balls that began to flatten into discs and generated a rapid spiral motion, forming them into giant energy discs, each infused with the five nature elements and an enormous amount of Yang chakra.

With a piercing gaze, Toneri fired the attack in rapid succession. The energy discs cut through the monster hordes with resistance due to the Yang chakra in them and the natural erasing qualities of the gudodama.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM"

The disc glowed and exploded generating massive explosions so powerful they could destroy multiple satellites upon impact. The white light from the explosion was so intense that it temporarily blinded the Empty Hand, causing him to groan in discomfort as the light carried destructive properties that pierced through the darkness devouring all that it touched.

The explosion annihilated the monstrous entities, lighting up the void for a few moment. As the light faded, a vast expanse free of any void monsters was revealed.

The Empty Hand's voice echoed through the void, a hint of grudging admiration in his tone. "Hmph, I commend you, young god. You do possess great power, but this is my domain, and my armies are endless."

The darkness began to emerge again all around Toneri, the void creatures regenerating and reforming at a rapid pace. The oppressive blackness encroached once more, ready to consume him.

Toneri's mind raced as he strategized his next move. "I need to end this once and for all," he thought, his resolve hardening. "There must be a way to defeat the Empty Hand and escape this void."

Toneri glared at the Empty Hand, his determination unwavering. "I will not be trapped here," he declared.

He quickly began to strategize, realizing he needed to stall the void monsters long enough to focus on opening a portal. He decided to focus on the absorption path of his Tenseigan, manifesting it into reality. The monsters were pulled towards him at an accelerated rate. The Empty Hand, leaning forward from his throne with interest, frowned and asked, "What will you do now, little god?"

As the monsters filled the space around him, Toneri called out.

"Keigaku Genshitokuiten" (Insatiable Primordial Singularity). Utilizing the Absorption Path, he projected a singularity into his surrounding. A vortex appeared above him, pulling everything into the singularity and bending space around it. A black hole the size of a town materialized, the enormous pulling dragging the monsters towards it with immense force. Toneri vanished from his position, reappearing a vast distance away from the singularity.

He focused his chakra once more, creating another black sphere of energy in his hand. "Tenseigan: Truth-Seeking Ball!" The sphere expanded and engulfed him in a seemingly white, transparent bubble, releasing a burst of energy that obliterated the void entities that crashed into him from being pulled by his black hole. He then invoked. "Amenokaguchi" (Heavenly fire force), combining the white flames with the sphere's energy to create a temporary safe zone around himself, eradicating the larger monsters that were trying to manifest underneath him.

Taking a deep breath, his eyes glowing with power, he thought with a smirk, 'I finally found the right frequency to open the portal.' Channeling his chakra, a shimmering gateway began to form in the void. The Empty Hand's eyes narrowed, sensing the shift. "No, you will not escape so easily," he growled, increasing the pressure of the darkness.

Toneri gritted his teeth, pouring more chakra into the portal. The void tried to prevent him from opening it, and he had to use an enormous amount of chakra to tear apart space and time. "Almost there..." he thought, feeling the strain of maintaining his techniques against the overwhelming darkness. The portal flickered, wavering under the immense pressure.

With a final surge of energy, Toneri stabilized the portal. He looked back at the Empty Hand with a distasteful look and said, "You are a terrible host," stepping towards the gateway.
