MTLNOVEL Chapter 190: It's Me Who Lost
"Although it looks powerful, it's not even as good as Fujitora's meteor from One Piece,"
Guts said calmly, staring at the black sphere in the sky with its intense gravitational pull.
"Galaxy Divide."
Guts whispered.
His hand, wrapped in advanced Haki, punched into the air as if launching his whole arm...aimed directly at the core of Planetary Devastation.
BOOM!!!!
After a moment of silence, the sphere shattered under an even greater force.
The entire thing exploded, rocks and debris that had been sucked into the air now reduced to powder, falling to the ground like rain.
Konan still beautiful despite her age stared, lips parted, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Cough!"
Behind her, Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood. Konan turned quickly, worry written all over her face.
"Nagato!"
Nagato, hands clutched on his chakra rods, ignored the pain and said with deep eyes,
"Just using taijutsu skills... and he can reach that level."
Through his Rinnegan, he had seen everything.
After blasting Planetary Devastation, Guts landed back on the ground.
He looked calmly at the last remaining Tendo Pain and asked, "Now... do you have anything else to try? If not, then..."
Suddenly, Nagato's face shifted. His voice came through with a rare tone of serious alertness.
"He's getting serious, Konan."
Konan blinked in surprise. She couldn't see what Nagato could, but she'd traveled beside him for 20 years. She knew his voice well and this was no bluff.
In the center of the battlefield...
Red lightning crackled from Guts's body, shaking the earth itself.
If someone from the One Piece top tiers were watching this, they'd recognize it instantly advanced Conqueror's Haki.
From the very start, Guts had planned to toy with Nagato. Slowly crush his spirit. Let him try everything... only to realize none of it mattered.
But Guts underestimated one thing... his own patience. He got bored way too fast.
Honestly, using advanced Conqueror's Haki against this level of opponent was overkill.
But it had been years since Guts found anyone worth hitting with it and he was itching.
"You should be honored," Guts exhaled slowly.
His steps were calm, slow, and heavy. Each one cracked the ground beneath him. Red lightning snapped and burst in every direction.
"Well, I don't want to spend too much time on this battle."
He chuckled.
Tendo Pain stood frozen, trying to stay composed but horror was already creeping across his face.
He kept his eyes locked on Guts... but somewhere along the way, Guts had vanished.
Tendo Pain's face twitched. He blinked.
Wait... wasn't he right there just now!?
Swoosh!!!
Suddenly, a shadow appeared mid-air—Guts, fist drawn back, plummeting down like a comet.
Nagato's face shifted with an exaggerated expression and Yahiko, the body he was using as Tendo Pain, mirrored that terror with a roar:
"SHINRA TENSEI!!"
Nagato poured all his remaining chakra into it, the same super version of Shinra Tensei he once used to level Konoha.
"Galaxy Impact!"
BOOM!
Both forces collided, but Guts's Galaxy Impact overwhelmed Shinra Tensei in an instant and powered through without pause.
It was like a nuke had gone off... vaporizing the ground, flattening trees, turning the battlefield into a crater of devastation.
Tendo Pain's body disintegrated on impact nothing left but dust.
"It's me… who lost."
Nagato lowered his head, whispering the words to himself.
"From the beginning, I didn't think you would win against Guts" said a familiar, cold voice out of nowhere.
Nagato and Konan froze.
From distorted space, the masked man and White Zetsu stepped out.
On the other side, another Zetsu clone emerged from the ground and with him, the unconscious body of Utakata, who was spat out like trash.
"That was really close," said the White Zetsu avatar, wiping imaginary sweat off his forehead with a grin.
"Good thing Planetary Devastation distracted Guts. Otherwise, recovering the Six Tails would've been... difficult."
"Madara, what is the meaning of this?" Konan snapped coldly.
She already knew—nothing good ever came from him appearing like this.
But Obito ignored her. His eye locked on Nagato. His voice was calm, with a chilling edge:
"Nagato. The Rinnegan was mine to begin with. Return them to me."

Guts after landing down frowned slightly.
His Observation Haki swept the area... and he realized the problem.
He'd gotten distracted.
Planetary Devastation reminded him of Fujitora's meteor too much... he'd zoned out, thinking about it, comparing them. And in that brief lapse...
Obito or Zetsu had used it to snatch the Jinchūriki right out from under his nose.
'Was that bastard peeping at me from some space crack this whole time?' Guts thought, face twitching in annoyance. That was just creepy.
His own carelessness had cost him.
Guts ripped a chakra black rod from the ground... one of the rods left from Tendo Pain.
Gripping it, he closed his eyes.
Immediately, he could feel it, Nagato's location. The real one.
RUMBLE!!!
Suddenly, a massive explosion echoed from Guts's right side.
