Chapter 295: Vast Heaven and Earth—Breaking Through the Atmosphere?
People across the world were highly intrigued by what Morgans had planned.
One phone call led to another, and news spread like wildfire.
Within a short span of time, a massive audience flooded into his live broadcast.
Soon, it had become a global spectacle.
After a brief period of anticipation, those with keen ears began to hear a grand, majestic, and solemn melody—a sound both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
With each passing second, the music grew louder, its presence overwhelming.
On-site, Morgans, understanding the psychology of his audience, shifted the camera toward the source of the sound—a seemingly empty sky.
> "Merciful gift from god"
(This is a gift from God.)
"But he cannot approve"
(But he does not acknowledge it.)
"If we cannot forgive"
(If we cannot learn to forgive…)
"All life returns to god"
(Then all life shall return to Him.)
"Pain…"
(Pain… Pain… Pain… Pain…)
As the ethereal chorus echoed, 100,000 celestial warriors descended from the sky.
Their floating islands, previously concealed by clouds, emerged above Judicial Island.
Every head turned upward.
Their formations were orderly and precise, covering the entire sky above the island.
With this sacred and solemn background music, the scene evoked an illusion of divine judgment.
To those below—and to the countless people watching the broadcast—it felt as if they were about to be judged by gods.
As if they were sinful mortals, awaiting divine retribution.
Would the heavens grant them mercy?
Or would they be wiped from existence?
The sudden, overwhelming presence of 100,000 celestial warriors made one thing clear—they had not come in peace.
Even a fool like Spandam—the leader of Judicial Island—understood the severity of the situation.
Panicked, he sent people forward to question their purpose.
The island's defenders were terrified.
Just looking at these beings was enough to strike fear into their hearts.
If conflict erupted, there was no doubt—they would be annihilated.
With the atmosphere properly set, it was finally Uchiha Itachi's turn to make his grand entrance.
"Skin: Lord of Calamity."
With a single thought, Itachi changed into a regal form.
He now sat upon a throne, exuding an unparalleled aura of majesty and dominance.
The winds howled, lightning flashed, and rain poured down—yet none of it could touch him.
Behind him, a vast cosmic void stretched endlessly.
Even this was not enough.
"Painting Projection: Vast Heaven and Earth!"
Using his own image as a model, Itachi expanded his form, casting a massive projection into the sky.
This time, he spared no effort—he increased its size to a staggering 500 kilometers.
From the perspective of those below, Judicial Island was no bigger than one of his fingers.
The clouds parted just enough to reveal his titanic silhouette.
Even though it was partially shrouded, the sheer scale was enough to leave the world in awe.
Total silence.
Not just on Judicial Island, but among the global audience.
This size was simply beyond comprehension.
To provide some perspective, the largest known creature in the world—Zunesha—was only several thousand meters tall.
But this?
500,000 meters?!
For context, Earth's atmosphere begins at 100 kilometers.
If this figure were real, Itachi's head would be in outer space.
"What is that?!"
"How could anything be this huge?!"
Many refused to believe their eyes.
They questioned whether they had been trapped in some illusion—perhaps a Devil Fruit's ability.
Others speculated that it was not a real entity, but rather some sort of projection or illusion.
Still, some doubted even that.
After all—how could such a thing be possible?
Of course, Itachi expected these reactions.
So, he decided to give them something more to fear.
Before their disbelieving eyes, the colossal figure moved.
It slowly raised a hand—then, with a casual wave, the clouds dispersed.
For the first time, the true form of the titanic being was fully revealed.
Absolute horror.
A chilling realization washed over everyone.
"T-That's…"
"That's Uchiha Itachi…!"
"THE FIFTH EMPEROR!"
"THE LORD OF CALAMITY!!"
Many collapsed in sheer terror.
They couldn't process what they were seeing.
Some even began to question reality itself.
Was this his true form?
Was this why he was so powerful?
Or had he always been hiding this from the world?
Mary Geoise – Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons
The Five Elders watched the screen in shock.
"Could it be…?"
"Did he eat the Mini Mini Fruit?"
It was the only explanation that made sense.
A Devil Fruit that allowed the user to change size at will.
This would explain why Itachi's strength defied all logic.
"Call him now. We need to understand his true intentions!"
Buru Buru Buru!
The Den Den Mushi rang.
After a few moments, the call connected.
"Uchiha Itachi, what is the meaning of this?!"
One of the Elders demanded answers.
"Hello, this is Captain Uchiha Itachi's secretary, Kalifa."
"He asked me to inform you—he's simply collecting interest."
"This does not affect our deal."
Kalifa's voice was calm but nervous.
She was fully aware of the consequences of speaking to the highest leaders of the world in such a manner.
Silence.
A cold silence from the Five Elders.
Then—
"Good… Good… GOOD!"
"Uchiha Itachi, you truly have no regard for us!"
They were so furious that they actually laughed.
"Our captain says you're free to think whatever you like."
"However, if you wish to cancel the trade, that's fine too."
"Just know that if you do—"
"He will execute every hostage."
"So?"
"Are you canceling the deal?"
Kalifa asked with a straight face, but inside, she was screaming.
Total silence again.
The Five Elders were at a complete loss for words.
No matter how they thought about it, rejecting the deal would be foolish.
They had spent centuries building up their forces.
If they simply let these high-level assets die, it would be an irreversible loss.
In the end, the Elders had no choice.
They reluctantly agreed to continue the transaction—while secretly plotting their revenge.
Meanwhile, Judicial Island trembled.
The world watched in stunned silence.
And Uchiha Itachi smiled.
