Chapter 1232: The World Government Has No Chance of Winning!
"You! You! You!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki, who had become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, stared at the golden light pillar shooting straight into the clouds before him. The pride and complacency that had arisen in his heart due to his greatly increased Strength were completely swept away by the waves of Aura impacting him.
He stared dumbfounded, his Truth-Seeking Ball Staff pointing at Im, who was enveloped in the radiance, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Strong, unimaginably strong! Such a powerful Aura filled Otsutsuki Isshiki with dread.
However, unlike Sakazuki, with whom the difference was too great, Otsutsuki Isshiki could sense the Level Im was on.
But this was also the most unbelievable part for him.
"You! You actually possess Strength comparable to the Higher-Ups?!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki's voice trembled, but Im still heard him clearly.
Comparable to the Otsutsuki Higher-Ups? This sounded like a recognition of his Strength, but from another perspective, it wasn't necessarily a good thing.
The meaning of Otsutsuki Isshiki's words was that an existence as Strong as himself was only equivalent to one of the Higher-Ups in their Civilization.
And there couldn't be just one Higher-Up, could there? So, Im's Mood became heavy after hearing this.
"No! This is impossible! You are just a lower-class Human!"
Suddenly, Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes became ferocious, and he let out a hysterical Roar.
"This World, no, the entire Universe cannot have Living Beings capable of rivaling the Otsutsuki Higher-Ups!"
He felt that Im was just bluffing. His Aura looked terrifying, but his actual Combat Power wouldn't be Stronger than his current self.
"Go to hell!!!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki no longer hesitated, swinging the 'Truth-Seeking Ball Staff' in his hand with Full Strength. At the same time, the four Truth-Seeking Balls behind him quickly flew over. They merged with the 'Truth-Seeking Ball Staff' and grew longer, thicker, and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, a giant black rod, seemingly capable of absorbing light, blasted open the high-altitude cloud layer, carrying surging turbulent air currents, and smashed down towards Im.
"Just right, let's test the Power of this strike..."
Im had, at some point, already returned 'Xihe' to its Scabbard.
He leaned forward slightly, his left hand gripping the crimson-gold Scabbard tightly, and his Right Hand resting lightly on the Sword Hilt.
During this process, the pillar-like Colorless Haki converged onto the Blade like Flowing Water, forming crackling Golden Lightning.
At the same time.
The Spatial Power belonging to the Space Fruit/Op-Op Fruit, in the form of a pale blue Air Layer, tightly wrapped around the entire Blade.
Im knew very clearly that Truth-Seeking Balls had the Attribute of annihilating any Substance, even Souls. They were true chaotic Substance. Only Sage Mode Chakra containing Natural Energy and Space-Time Power could Resist them.
[Swish!]
Just as the giant black rod, pressing down with rolling air currents, reached less than a hundred meters above his head. Im finally drew the Blade of 'Xihe' again.
Instantly.
A golden Slash containing 'Sword Saint Intent', glowing with a faint blue light, transformed into a visible, heaven-shaking Thunder.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Aramaki, Little Kaguya, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Sakazuki on the other side.
In the blink of an eye, it tore open the gloomy Void, swept past the giant black rod, and also swept past Otsutsuki Isshiki's Body.
At this moment, Heaven and Earth fell into Dead Silence, the Storm froze, and it seemed even the Planet stopped rotating for a moment.
But soon, Space-Time recovered, and everything became lively again.
Only that dazzling golden Electric Flash remained in everyone's eyes.
The next second.
Cracks, blue tinged with gold like a spider web, began to appear on the surface of the black rod, which was like a pillar supporting the sky.
Looking at Otsutsuki Isshiki, a Black Barrier had appeared in front of him at some unknown point.
That was the Defense he had set up with his last Truth-Seeking Ball In the Nick of Time.
However, cracks, also blue tinged with gold, appeared on the surface of this Black Barrier as well.
[Bang!!!]
Almost simultaneously, the black rod and the Barrier exploded on the spot. They turned into countless tiny fragments that scattered in all directions.
But everyone's Attention was focused on Otsutsuki Isshiki.
And behind Otsutsuki Isshiki.
Im, dressed in white, was slowly returning 'Xihe' to its Scabbard, with flickering Golden Lightning still lingering on him.
"Although your Crime is unforgivable, Mu is in a good Mood, so I'll leave you a complete Corpse."
Im withdrew the Killing Intent from his eyes. He turned around and spoke softly to Otsutsuki Isshiki, who stood motionless in place.
Looking closely, one could see a layer of pale golden Flowing Light supporting Otsutsuki Isshiki's Body at his feet.
Because he was already dead, he was unable to float in the Air.
However, there were no Wounds on Otsutsuki Isshiki's Body; even his Clothing was completely intact.
But Little Kaguya, who possessed the Byakugan, could clearly see that Isshiki's Brain and Internal Organs had all suffered fatal Destruction.
"So Strong... He's actually this Strong..." Little Kaguya muttered to herself, standing on Hagoromo's Shoulder.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo, meanwhile, thought, this is just a Clone of Im?!
Aramaki lay slumped on the ground, his face utterly dejected, sighing repeatedly inwardly.
"It's over, it's over. Lord Im is so Strong, he definitely won't think highly of a Loser like me. Admiral Green Bull or whatever, I shouldn't even dream about it..."
Im, outside, naturally had no way of knowing their reactions.
For him, killing Otsutsuki Isshiki was just the beginning.
"You! You! What are you going to do?!"
When Im used the Divine Power of the 'Lord of the Sea Star Underworld' to retain the Soul that had just left the Corpse. Otsutsuki Isshiki was completely engulfed by Fear.
He truly hadn't expected Im to also have the ability to extract souls!
He was certainly no stranger to this method; after all, the Rinnegan had it too, and now it was his turn to Experience it.
Despair, utter Despair!
"You've already won! What else do you want to do!"
"Don't be too despicable, you are the Ruler of the World Government!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki's Soul roared almost madly, but he could only powerlessly let Im have his way.
"You don't even understand the Principle of winner takes all?"
Im calmly retorted casually, while simultaneously beginning a series of operations.
He first used Colorless Haki to invade the Soul's interior, quickly beginning Memory Reading.
Soon, a large amount of memory images and information flooded into his Mind like Flowing Water.
During this process, he saw many bizarre and vast Universe scenes.
He also saw Otsutsuki Isshiki destroying a Planetary Civilization and collecting those Giant Cubes.
Most importantly, there were scenes of the Otsutsuki Homeworld.
In the images, there were many Otsutsuki Clan Members wearing white Clothing and having various Double Horns on their heads, constantly entering and exiting the Planet.
And inside the Planet, one could occasionally see one Ten-Tails after another walking around.
He even discovered a few familiar Figures through Otsutsuki Isshiki's Viewpoint.
They were the Group of three who would descend upon the Ninja World in the Future: Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Urashiki, and Otsutsuki Kinshiki!
But compared to them.
Im placed more Importance on the six white-clothed Figures sitting on black chairs whom Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Kaguya knelt before when accepting Missions.
There was no need to think further; they were definitely the so-called Higher-Ups.
They possessed the Qualification and Authority to Dispatch Otsutsuki Isshiki, Otsutsuki Momoshiki, and these other Clansmen into the vast Universe to find suitable Planets to plant the Divine Tree.
Then, they would bring back the Chakra Fruit that ripened once every thousand years and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
"There are actually six..."
Im immediately felt heavy Pressure.
If a full-scale war were to break out, the current World Government clearly had no chance of winning.
