At this moment, Lin Xuan's entire body shone with unprecedented brilliance!
The radiance of lightning erupted, making him appear like another sun, illuminating the entire sky island in a blinding white light. Under this overwhelming glow, almost everyone instinctively shut their eyes, unable to look directly at it.
However, just a split second later, the all-consuming light dimmed abruptly, and Lin Xuan's golden Susanoo reappeared before everyone's eyes.
When they focused their gaze, their eyes widened in shock—some even froze in disbelief.
Because Lin Xuan was completely unharmed! His golden Susanoo crackled with electricity, seemingly even more imposing than before!
What left everyone utterly dumbfounded was that they actually heard Lin Xuan let out a satisfied burp, followed by a tone of lingering delight as he said to Enel, "Not bad. Give me some more!"
For a moment, the entire world fell into dead silence.
Not bad? Give me some more?
What did that mean?
Did he just… eat all that terrifying lightning?!
How was that even possible?!
As everyone stood frozen in shock, Enel in the sky was on the verge of losing his mind.
"Impossible! How could this happen?! Why?!"
His ultimate move, which he believed could annihilate everything, had been eaten by someone?!
Enel couldn't accept this reality.
With a frenzied roar, he screamed, "You forced me into this! You forced me! Hahaha… Fine! Then I'll make you truly experience the terror of a god! Let you know what real despair feels like!"
His maniacal laughter echoed across the sky island, snapping everyone out of their stupor.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, panic set in. Though they didn't know what Enel was planning, one thing was certain—it would be catastrophic!
Sure enough, before they could even react, Enel bellowed his next move.
"Raigo!"
BOOM—
A deafening explosion erupted as Enel and the Ark Maxim simultaneously unleashed a blinding surge of lightning, rapidly coalescing into a massive black sphere!
The colossal black orb crackled with electricity, resembling a monstrous celestial body descending from the heavens. It exuded an aura of utter annihilation, hurtling toward the ground as if intent on crushing the entire sky island into oblivion!
At the sight of this monstrous black thunder sphere, countless people felt their hearts sink into despair.
"We're done for…"
Sky Knight Gan Fall collapsed to his knees, his aged face pale with resignation, as if awaiting death.
On the White-White Sea, the residents of the sky island stood petrified, feeling as though the grim reaper himself had descended upon them.
Meanwhile, the Shandia warriors still on the island abandoned all thoughts of climbing the giant vine. Instead, they slumped to the ground in defeat, muttering, "It's over… It's all over…"
Everyone could sense the sheer destructive power of this colossal black thunder sphere.
This was no mere attack—it was divine retribution, capable of obliterating everything in its path. Even the island itself seemed to tremble in fear beneath its looming shadow!
Even stalwarts like Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Admiral Aokiji, and Master Roshi found it hard to remain composed, their eyes locked onto Lin Xuan.
They could tell that Enel's attack wasn't just fueled by his own power—he had harnessed the natural lightning energy surrounding the sky island through the Ark Maxim, making its destructive potential truly terrifying!
They were already prepared to intervene if Lin Xuan failed to counter this monstrous thunder sphere.
Yet, at this critical moment, Lin Xuan remained completely calm. Instead, he turned toward Senju Hashirama and called out, "Hashirama, I need to copy one of your abilities. Do you consent?"
Hashirama was momentarily taken aback, unsure of Lin Xuan's intentions.
But Uchiha Madara suddenly spoke up in a firm tone, "Agree to it!"
Trusting his old friend's judgment, Hashirama quickly nodded. "Very well!"
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan activated the Replication Card he had just purchased from the system.
To ensure success, he had even splurged on the highest-tier card available!
Target: Senju Hashirama's Sage Mode!
BOOM!
In an instant, an overwhelming surge of power erupted from Lin Xuan, his strength skyrocketing once again!
Then, to Hashirama's astonishment, Lin Xuan's face began to display the same sage markings as his own Sage Mode!
Even more shocking, the golden Susanoo's body was now adorned with intricate purple patterns, transforming into a dazzling violet-gold!
"So… his 'copying' means he can replicate my Sage Mode?!" Hashirama's eyes nearly bulged out of his skull.
Madara merely smirked, as if amused by his reaction. "What's the big deal? He copied my Sharingan the same way!"
While the two exchanged words, Lin Xuan had already sprung into action.
His golden Susanoo suddenly surged forward, aiming straight for the massive black sphere in the sky. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, he launched himself directly into it!
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned once again.
To their horror, Lin Xuan's leap carried him straight into the heart of the colossal thunder sphere!
This was sheer madness!
Even Aokiji lost his usual composure, muttering in disbelief, "Is he trying to get himself blown to bits?!"
But contrary to expectations, no explosion occurred.
Because Lin Xuan's body was still enveloped in the lightning energy he had absorbed earlier. To the Raigo, which was still gathering surrounding electricity, this was nothing more than additional fuel—it welcomed him in without resistance!
Thus, the massive black thunder sphere now contained a glowing golden core at its center!
The crackling lightning obscured any view of Lin Xuan's actions inside.
However, everyone noticed that the thunder sphere had abruptly halted its descent—and its expansion had ceased as well.
Seeing this, Hashirama turned to Madara and asked, "Madara, can you see what he's doing in there?"
The others also turned their expectant gazes toward Madara.
Madara activated his Rinnegan and peered inside—only to freeze in utter disbelief the next second.
"Nani?! How is this even possible?!"
