Uchiha Sasuke’s Collapse Chapter 032

The moment Sasuke activated the Divine Art: Ten Directions, he felt thousands of images flooding into his brain, like a tangled mess of lines.

These seemingly chaotic “lines” were by no means the simple strokes on a drawing board; they were composed of billions of images. Each “line” contained every moment, every second, every hour of the entire world. From tiny dust particles to the changes and destruction of those worlds, everything was revealed at a glance the moment the divine art was activated, as if—

A true deity was looking down upon the world it created, watching it head towards its predetermined destiny.

Is this why it’s called a divine art?

Does this mean that beyond this world, there is a vaster realm? Are the Sage of Six Paths, the Shinobi Sect, and the previous Hokage merely puppets in the hands of a god?

Divine Art…

Compared to the unknown divine art, what Sasuke needed most right now was to organize the chaotic information in his brain.

Due to his limited eye power, the divine art could only be maintained for a very short time. Sasuke could only remember a small portion of the related images, centered around himself, within that brief period.

In ninety-nine percent of the outcomes, Nagazora City ultimately met its destruction.

However, the reasons for its destruction varied.

Sasuke roughly categorized them, and they basically fell into the following types:

The first type: For various reasons, Sasuke was lured out of Nagazora City by someone dressed as a maid. Sometimes he would head west, and sometimes he would battle another golden-haired woman. During this time, Cocolia detonated all the Honkai energy storage devices in Nagazora City, leading to the Third Honkai Impact and the destruction of Nagazora City.

The second type: Raiden Mei became a Herrscher for various reasons. In some timelines, it was because Kiana died; in others, it was because her father, Raiden Ryoma, was killed. As a Herrscher, Raiden Mei actively initiated a Honkai Impact, destroying the entire Nagazora City.

It’s worth noting that in the timelines where Raiden Mei turned into a dark Herrscher, in a small portion of those timelines, Nagazora City was not destroyed. Some were redeemed and saved by Kiana, while others were killed by Sasuke himself.

And in those timelines where she was killed by Sasuke, in some of them, Kiana witnessed everything and eventually also became a Herrscher, initiating a Honkai Impact, and was ultimately killed by Sasuke as well.

In summary, in these worst-case scenarios, Sasuke not only failed to prevent the Honkai Impact but even chose the most disastrous outcome.

In the timelines where Raiden Mei became a Herrscher, besides the two possibilities mentioned above, there was another one, which could be called a good ending.

Raiden Mei seemed to have reconciled with the Herrscher’s power through various means. The Honkai energy didn’t seem to transform her into another person…

No, that’s not right.

It was more like a personality. Raiden Mei had reconciled with her Herrscher personality.

It seems the Herrscher’s power is not what he imagined, similar to a Kekkai Genkai. They also seem to include personalities and emotions.

So, since the Herrscher’s power is already within Raiden Mei and there’s a corresponding personality, perhaps Mei can try to control it or reconcile with it in some way.

Tsk…

Why does that sound so much like Naruto and the fox inside him?

How did Naruto reconcile with the Nine-Tails back then?

After some thought, Sasuke finally decided that if things became impossible, he might as well use his Sharingan to forcibly control Mei’s Herrscher personality.

Asking him to think about reconciling with the darkness in his heart was a bit too much for him.

These were the most common occurrences in Nagazora City.

Among the remaining outcomes, there was a very small portion, though the probability was minuscule, that still caught Sasuke’s attention.

Because they not only led to the destruction of Nagazora City but also to the destruction of the entire world.

The first type was a derivative of Cocolia initiating a Honkai Impact. Nagazora City, ravaged by Honkai energy, seemed to awaken a slumbering Herrscher. In those timelines, the system referred to her as the “Herrscher of Corruption.” Then, that Herrscher seemed to invade a technology in this world called “the network” and used it to control humanity’s own weapons, effortlessly annihilating the entire civilization.

In the final scene, Sasuke only saw a land full of ruins and radiation. He stood in the sky with his Complete Susanoo, wanting to save something, but could save nothing.

Even the most powerful Indra’s Arrow could not attack an incorporeal existence.

So, this city contained something like that?

Sasuke’s brows instantly furrowed.

Although this possibility was less than one in a million among countless timelines, even so, every single trace of it had to be prevented.

Once any accident occurred, this world would head towards complete destruction.

Cocolia…

A chilling killing intent flashed in Sasuke’s eyes.

It seems he must find a way to take away those Honkai energy storage devices.

Besides this, there were some rare outcomes that caused a subtly strange expression to appear on Sasuke’s perpetually unchanging face.

They were about himself.

In those timelines, Kiana or Mei met with accidents for various reasons, and Sasuke seemed to have a very good relationship with them.

So good that he didn’t hesitate to use “Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique” to resurrect them.

If it were just to this extent, it wouldn’t have caught Sasuke’s attention too much.

What truly puzzled Sasuke was that immediately after performing the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, he started to become abnormal.

In those dozen or so timelines, after performing the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, Sasuke immediately triggered a Honkai Impact far more terrifying than Kiana’s or Mei’s, and even gained mastery over multiple Herrscher authorities, making him almost omnipotent.

And, in those timelines, at the last moment before his consciousness collapsed, the system mentioned two words—“Herrscher of the End.”

Then, just as the system indicated, Sasuke brought about the end of the entire world.

No, not just the planet. Before his eye power was exhausted, Sasuke even saw his counterparts in those timelines preparing to destroy the galaxy where the planet they were on was located.

Why did this happen?

Why would using the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique cause him to transform into a Herrscher named “Herrscher of the End”?

Sasuke began to ponder.

The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique can be divided into two steps: first, the caster pays the life force required for the resurrected person’s physical body, and second, retrieving the resurrected person’s soul.

So, where did the problem occur?

Sasuke wasn’t sure, but at least he had gained important information.

In this world, he absolutely could not use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique; otherwise, he himself would transform into the most terrifying enemy.
