The moment Nagato's words fell:
"Whoosh!"
In that instant, the young man who had been standing in the vast hall vanished from sight.
Seeing this, Nagato's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately looked around, preparing for defense.
"Whoosh—"
A sharp sound of cutting through the air suddenly came from behind him.
Nagato frowned, glanced behind, and readied himself to defend.
"Bang!"
A violent impact instantly shattered Nagato's defenses, sending his body shooting backward like a bent lobster!
Mid-air, his eyes widened in disbelief! How could such unimaginable strength really be from this guy?
"Boom!"
His body slammed solidly against a large stone pillar beside him, heavily falling to the ground.
"Cough!"
Nagato struggled to prop himself up, coughing deeply.
"Nagato!"
Konan, pale-faced, watched this scene and called out worriedly.
Then she swiftly moved toward Nagato, who was painfully kneeling on the ground.
The young man, who remained standing and hadn't continued his attack, watched this scene calmly. His green eyes slowly turned to Nagato, speaking in a cold voice.
"I can feel that the power contained within you should be more than this, yet you haven't managed to use it at all."
"A person like you, even using this weak human body, I can easily deal with you."
Saying this, his green eyes slowly shifted to Konan, who was rushing towards Nagato, and spoke indifferently.
"Feel it, then. What can someone powerless like you do in this situation?"
Hearing his words, Nagato's head shot up, alarmed by the young man's gaze.
He hastily shouted.
"Konan, be careful!"
However, it was still a step too late. The moment the young man's words fell, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot!
Konan, in her rush, only felt a sudden chill in the air beside her.
"Bang!"
Before she could react, her body was thrown helplessly aside like a discarded rag doll.
Where she had been, a cold figure stood quietly, maintaining the motion of a single-handed swipe.
Seeing this, Nagato's pupils dilated!
Everything seemed like a slow-motion replay to him, every detail vividly imprinting in his mind.
The panicked, pale expression on Konan's face, the blood droplets lingering in the air slowly falling, and her body dropping aside like a discarded doll.
His mind was in excruciating pain, an inexplicable force seemed about to burst forth from his eyes!
His face twisted in agony as he glared at the indifferent young man, his voice heavy with suppressed rage.
"You bastard!"
"I will never let you go!"
As his words fell, he suddenly stretched out a hand towards the young man standing still, his Rinnegan eyes flickering with a strange luster.
"Shinra Tensei!!"
With a roar, a bizarre force burst forth from Nagato's body, spreading around him!
"Buzz—"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
In the silent and vast hall, what had been a very stable airflow suddenly whipped up a terrifying current!
The tumultuous airflow, driven by some bizarre force, exploded from around Nagato, breaking several thick pillars in the hall and shooting them outwards.
The young man's body was also uncontrollably hurled about by this strange and powerful force!
"Crash!"
His body slammed hard against the pale wall above, instantly cracking it, creating a dense web of fissures.
After releasing the Shinra Tensei, Nagato didn't wait to check on the young man's condition; he immediately rushed toward where Konan was falling.
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly appeared beside Konan, who was lying on the ground with a pale face tightly furrowed.
Nagato carefully helped her up, asking anxiously.
"Konan, how do you feel!?"
Hearing Nagato's voice, Konan furrowed her brow, struggling to open her eyes.
Her lips curved into a bitter smile, her voice weak.
"I'm okay, Nagato. Cough cough"
Seeing the surrounding devastation, she asked worriedly.
"Did you do this, Nagato?"
"If Lord Aizen sees the destruction of Las Noches, he might get angry."
Hearing Konan's words, Nagato feigned a relaxed smile to comfort her.
"Don't worry, it's all this guy's fault. If he hadn't attacked you, I wouldn't have done this."
"Lord Aizen won't be partial in this matter."
Hearing Nagato's words, Konan felt a bit relieved, but her face soon showed a hint of dejection again, quietly saying.
"I'm sorry, Nagato."
"He's right. I'm too weak. Always a burden to everyone."
"Even now."
"What are you talking about, Konan!"
Her words were cut off by Nagato, who looked at her intently. Nagato spoke seriously, word by word.
"Me, Yahiko, we are all your comrades. It's not just you striving for Lord Aizen, and you're not the only one without achievements."
"Every day, we are all making progress. Compared to before, we've grown so much."
"We're just a bit ahead of you in being able to assist Lord Aizen."
"Yahiko and I have no doubts that one day, Konan, you will become Lord Aizen's right-hand!"
"Because, you are the child who Lord Aizen himself has praised as 'the lucky one', and the first among us to be acknowledged by him."
Hearing Nagato's words, Konan looked stunned.
After a moment, she stretched out her pale hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, her voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you, Nagato."
"I won't let others disturb my beliefs anymore. Like you said, as someone expected by Lord Aizen, if I don't have confidence in myself, it would be a disgrace to Lord Aizen."
Hearing her words, Nagato smiled slightly, gently patting her head.
The next moment, he looked up, his eyes marked with spiraling patterns flashing a cold glint. He spoke in a deep voice.
"Next, I have to settle the score with that guy!"
"He still owes you an apology, Konan!"
As his words fell,
Not far in front of him, on the ceiling of the palace, a figure slowly landed on the ground.
The young man stood there upright, his black and white uniform slightly dusty. He gently patted it off, his gaze calm as he looked at Nagato, speaking indifferently.
"Indeed, those eyes of yours harbor bizarre powers, don't they?"
Saying this, his green eyes glanced indifferently at the surrounding destruction, and he spoke calmly.
"Is it a power to push everything around you away?"
"According to Lord Aizen, this doesn't seem to be chakra power. I'm quite curious."
Hearing the young man's words, Nagato slowly stood up, his gaze heavy as he looked at him, speaking in a deep voice.
"None of that matters. What's important is that I will defeat you, and then you will apologize for your words!"
In response, the young man in front of him remained calm, looking at him and softly speaking.
"Is this the thought process of a human child?"
"As someone who will be solving problems for Lord Aizen in the future, I'm not reassured by such a simplistic way of thinking."
Saying this, he lightly raised his hand in front of him, glancing at his own arm and speaking softly.
"Do you really think that with just the kind of attack you've used, you can defeat me?"
"Even without super-speed regeneration, just with this weak body, I can withstand it."
"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you."
The moment his words fell,
Nagato immediately felt an intimidating aura emanating from the young man before him!
His back felt a chill.
His gaze fixed firmly on the young man standing in the open hall, where shadows and light intermingled.
