Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Battle Against The Twins (III)
The man formed from the fusion of Le Orio and Di Orio—let's call him "Gemini"—looked coldly at Taro. His tall body floated in the air not far from him, his expression as icy as Le Orio and Di Orio's had been before. He slowly raised one hand toward Taro.
As Gemini arm rose, Taro's heart raced wildly, his eyelids twitching as an overwhelming sense of danger filled his mind!
Ten million.
And his current base power was barely over two hundred thousand.
Suddenly, a light appeared.
A purple beam shot across.
Visually, the trajectory of such an attack was beyond Taro's ability to track. The only thing he could rely on was his instincts, honed through countless battles as a martial artist with sharp sensory perception for ki—
There was no time to think. As the purple light flashed in his retina, a sharp pain suddenly surged in Taro's forehead. At the same time, he dodged with all his might, but another wave of pain hit his right shoulder.
The beam vanished, having only flashed briefly.
It was like an illusion.
Only the blood hole in Taro's shoulder, with vibrant blood spilling out, proved the attack had indeed happened.
"Heh... You're really strange. The power of that instant was even stronger than before, wasn't it?" Gemini sneered coldly, still raising his arm. His finger curled slightly, revealing that the terrifying purple beam had been shot from his fingertip.
Frieza's technique, huh...
Taro ignored the blood hole in his shoulder and calmly said, "It's you who's strange, isn't it? Not only do you have immortality, but now you can also gain even more power through fusion?"
In the time it took to say this, the blood on his shoulder had already stopped flowing, and the wound was healing at a visible speed. This was the terrifying vitality and regeneration brought about by the God Tree physique.
"I'm just restoring my true form... But you." Twins squinted, speaking coldly: "What's the reason... you can unleash such incredible power in an instant?"
Would Taro answer such a question in the middle of a battle?
Of course not.
His expression remained calm, and his jet-black eyes instantly changed—
Swish.
In his eyes appeared nine spinning rings adorned with hooked jade, the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Your eyes changed? What trick is this?" Gemini observed the change in Taro's wound, his tone indifferent. He pointed at Taro. "But I want to see what tricks you can pull when faced with absolute power."
With that, dazzling purple light shot from his fingertip again!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several beams of purple light, carrying the aura of death, tore through the air and were almost upon Taro in an instant!
But Taro's expression did not change.
A tidal wave of spiritual energy poured out, activating the power of the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan. The Eye technique controlled every strand of ki in Taro's body, defying logic! Breaking through limits! Forty times his base power erupted in an instant!
The purple beams were now right in front of him, yet Taro did not dodge or avoid them. He raised one hand, and with a "slap, slap, slap, slap," in an instant, he sent all the purple beams flying away!
Sizzling sounds echoed as white smoke rose from his palm due to the intense heat.
Gemini was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Taro to take his attack head-on with just his palm!
Taro didn't have much time or interest in exchanging words with his opponent.
It was time to go all out.
Boom!
A massive, tangible ki burst forth from Taro's body, instantly condensing into an enormous, samurai-like figure! This giant ki figure enveloped Taro, and in the next moment, it rapidly contracted, condensing into a layer of material resembling burning armor or battle attire, covering Taro's body.
Nine Tomoe Rinnegan were pushed to their limit, with mental energy rapidly depleting.
Not far away, Taro, fully clad in his complete Susanoo armor, suddenly vanished from his position. Under the effect of the forty times amplification from the Eye technique, his explosive power had become terrifyingly close to nine million!
He raised his hand, and a blazing ki wave was hurled toward Twins!
Hiss—
The ki wave tore through the air, reaching its target in an instant!
But did Gemini care? He sneered disdainfully, not intending to dodge such an attack. He raised one leg and kicked the ki wave back toward Taro!
However, by that time, Taro's figure was already gone.
Unnoticed, Taro had already appeared at Gemini's side, wearing a faint red Susanoo armor. His expression was cold, and with an intense burst of ki, his punch whipped up a fierce gust of wind, striking toward Gemini!
Gemini's eyes shifted, and with incredible speed, he reached out and grabbed Taro's wrist with one hand, while his other fist, carrying a force even stronger than Taro's punch, slammed into his chest with a resounding "Bang!"
Blood dripped from the corner of Taro's mouth.

Under the light purple sky, the two of them engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat, their punches flying in a torrent, resembling giant dragons stirring the airflow in the sky. The area became a chaotic maelstrom, with any bird that came near being torn to pieces by the razor-sharp winds.
Countless ki waves and energy beams shot across the sky, crashing onto the land below, leaving craters and shaking the earth. Trees were obliterated, and sometimes even the sheer force of the passing winds was enough to pulverize animals into bloody pulp on the ground!
The figures of the two fighters had disappeared from sight, leaving behind a battle zone in the sky filled with erratic gusts, as though they were wind blades, rampaging across the air. Due to the energy disturbances they released, electromagnetic flashes even appeared in the atmosphere.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent air became scalding hot, and thunderous sounds rang out from every corner. These were the sounds of two super warriors colliding at speeds faster than sound. Often, the sound of their initial clashes would reach their ears only after a few exchanges.
The battle between two super experts, each nearing ten million in power, was terrifying. The villagers nearby emerged, confused, staring at the sky where strange phenomena were happening. They didn't understand what was going on but could feel a heavy, oppressive atmosphere emanating from that area.
The ground occasionally trembled, and distant thunder rumbled in the background.
The Holy Mage floated through the air with telekinesis, his eyes closed. His vast and profound mental energy spread across the entire planet, reflecting the scenes from the battlefield in his mind.
Yet, with his abilities, he was unable to capture the specifics of the battle between the two.
Even the terrifying energy on the battlefield caused a faint, stinging sensation in the Holy Mage's mind. In battles of this scale, divine beings clashing in such a manner wasn't something anyone could easily observe, especially not someone like the Holy Mage, who only possessed mental power and spiritual level, but lacked true combat prowess.
The crimson-colored immortal phoenix circled nervously around the Holy Mage, occasionally letting out a screech.
Bang!
Taro and Gemini collided with a mighty palm strike, both being sent flying back by the force.
"Ha... ha..." Taro, encased in his complete Susanoo armor, panted. After the intense clash, his clothes had been shredded, and there were bruises on his arms, chest, neck, and face. But soon, due to the powerful vitality of his Senju Physique, these injuries began to fade away.
"Your body seems to have quite a good healing ability?" Gemini appeared to be much more at ease now. He sneered coldly. The shoulder wound he had inflicted on Taro earlier had already healed in no time.
Taro wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
The Senju Physique granted him endless stamina. Although he had been fighting intensely with Gemini for a long time, after a short break, he was still full of energy. However, maintaining the Susanoo armor and activating the forty times Eye technique consumed his mental energy! If it weren't for the fact that he had spent the last ten years tirelessly honing his spiritual power through meditation, he would have collapsed long ago.
Taking a deep breath, Taro slowly raised his fist, his expression calm.
BSeeing this, Gemini's forehead veins bulged as he coldly said: "Are you still struggling? You don't have a chance. My power is greater than yours! You will only die by my hand!"
In Taro's calm, ripple-like eyes, an image of his humiliating, tail-between-the-legs existence before Frieza seemed to be reflected, filling him with an explosive surge of anger!
Sizzle... a terrifying energy ball appeared in Twins' palm. With a roar of fury, he unleashed a full-force strike, firing a deadly energy beam toward Taro!
But Taro did not dodge.
There was no sign of hesitation—his right arm bulged, and the faint red Susanoo armor around him blazed like it was solid. He threw a punch directly at the incoming energy wave!
The energy wave missed, continuing its flight unhindered.
Taro vanished.
Almost at the same moment he disappeared, his fist landed squarely on Gemini's cheek! It was as if time and space had been distorted—his punch, delivered on the other side of space, crossed the distance and landed directly on his opponent's face!
Gemini's mind suddenly shook. The force of the unexpected punch was so powerful that it nearly snapped his neck! He was sent flying, quickly regaining his balance, and moved his mouth as the pain from the slap still burned on his cheek.
His eyes blazed with fury as he looked into the distance, but there was no sign of Taro.
"Where did he go!?"
Gemini turned his head and searched, but he couldn't find Taro anywhere in the sky.

The Holy Mage was surprised to see Taro appear, battered and bruised (his clothes were torn).
"Argh—" The crimson immortal phoenix screeched loudly at Taro, but Taro paid no attention. His body was enveloped in a fiery, armor-like aura that emanated a terrifying presence, scorching the very air around him. His expression was cold as he kicked out at the empty space before him.
