Chapter 1241: Im's Confession to Stussy!
Within the eerie green dimensional space.
The massive Noah's Ark floated in mid-air, overlooking the city below, home to over 500,000 people.
On a spacious lawn somewhere in the top floor's inner palace.
Im was silently looking at the juvenile Ten-Tails lying in front of him.
Of course, this Ten-Tails had been miniaturized. Its body size was roughly comparable to a small white car.
At this moment, it had swallowed Hoshigakure's 'Hoshi' and also signed a master-servant contract with Im.
Not only could they communicate mentally and understand each other's will.
He could also summon it to his side at any time, or temporarily absorb it into his body to personally experience the feeling of being a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Since the current Ten-Tails was still very weak, it couldn't significantly improve Im's strength.
Let alone achieve the so-called sublimation of life essence.
To be honest, in his opinion, the 'Six Paths Obito' and 'Six Paths Madara' in the 'Canon' were essentially just temporarily turning their bodies into Otsutsuki.
This could be seen from their whitened skin color and the horns on their heads.
Perhaps it was because that Ten-Tails contained the complete data of Otsutsuki Kaguya and half the body data of Otsutsuki Isshiki?
But the effect was far inferior to 'White Karma', which could permanently turn someone into an Otsutsuki.
And if Im were to absorb this juvenile Ten-Tails into his body.
It could temporarily grant him Chakra, allowing him to use various Ninjutsu.
He found this quite interesting.
"Speaking of which, to make the Ten-Tails grow quickly, it seems it needs to be fed an Otsutsuki clan member. Im happens to have one..."
Im looked at the juvenile Ten-Tails, lost in thought.
He was hesitating whether to feed the remains of 'Otsutsuki Isshiki' to it.
Because he had previously planned to send it to the Biochemical Research Institute.
But thinking carefully, what could they research that would be worth a true Chakra God Tree?
But then again, would a Chakra God Tree be useful to him or the World Government?
Although it could extract planet energy and bear magical fruit, it would take a thousand years!
Such a long time cost was simply too impractical.
Even if it were planted in the Ninja World and the resulting time could be shortened to a hundred years, it wouldn't make much difference.
A hundred years from now, who knew what kind of colossus the World Government would be?
The so-called Chakra Fruit would probably just be another decent secret treasure added to the Holy Land Treasury.
The key was that this would damage the planet of the Ninja World.
It would likely cause strong opposition, or even a large-scale rebellion, from Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and others.
Im felt it wasn't worthwhile.
"Lord Im, that Otsutsuki Kaguya has already been escorted to the World by CP1."
Just then, Stussy's voice sounded from the side.
Im withdrew his thoughts and looked over, finding that Esdeath had also followed and was curiously examining the juvenile Ten-Tails.
"Lord Im, is that Otsutsuki Kaguya the third Heavenly Empress?"
Esdeath was as direct as ever, asking such a matter without any shyness.
Im was somewhat speechless by the question, but after thinking about it, he still answered.
"That depends on whether her main body consciousness awakens, but Im believes her value as a Star God is far greater than as a Heavenly Empress."
This was his real idea.
For the World Government to maximize its interests with Otsutsuki Kaguya's strength and ability, it was best not to take her as a Heavenly Empress.
Otherwise, how would the subordinates dare to casually order a Heavenly Empress around?
Take Esdeath, for example. Her strength was certainly good, and her talent in war was also excellent.
But the Command Department would not dispatch combat missions to her unless absolutely necessary.
Historia was the same. Even if The Rumbling needed to be activated.
They would have to report to him through the Five Elders and finally get his agreement.
The entire process couldn't be called troublesome, but it definitely had to be treated with caution.
"Alright."
Hearing this answer, Esdeath seemed to be in a much better mood.
Because she didn't really like Otsutsuki Kaguya.
From her skin color, to her appearance, identity, and even her personality and strength, she didn't like her, and she also heard that the latter had two sons.
"You've always wanted an opponent you could fight with full strength, and this Ten-Tails is just right."
At this moment, Im pointed at the juvenile Ten-Tails and said to Esdeath.
"It?"
Esdeath felt a little doubt.
But when she used Observation Haki to perceive the Ten-Tails' aura, she was immediately startled by the enormous energy within its body.
This was not surprising. The juvenile Ten-Tails' Chakra amount was already slightly more than the Nine-Tails.
It had just been fed a 'Hoshi' containing the Chakra of another adult Ten-Tails.
Its Chakra amount naturally received a further improvement, equivalent to a composite entity of two Nine-Tails.
A Vice Admiral rank combat power would already find it difficult to deal with this juvenile Ten-Tails.
And Esdeath's current strength had not reached Admiral level combat power.
So Im felt it was just right for her to practice, and incidentally find a game partner for the juvenile Ten-Tails.
Immediately, he conveyed his idea to the juvenile Ten-Tails using mental will.
This caused the juvenile Ten-Tails to look at Esdeath with its red Rinnegan, which had six Tomoe.
Perhaps it sensed that Esdeath's strength was not bad.
It immediately nodded in agreement and promised Im that it would try its best not to harm the other party.
Im wasn't worried about this aspect.
Because they would definitely fight outside the ark, and there would be Giant God Soldiers guarding nearby.
After Esdeath left with the juvenile Ten-Tails, Im returned to the study room with Stussy.
"You've seen Otsutsuki Isshiki's combat style. How is it? Can your Mini-Mini Fruit ability imitate it?"
Im sat on the chair, asking across the office desk.
"Shrinking incoming non-living things into nothingness from a distance without any physical contact requires me to activate my awakening."
Stussy seemed a bit resigned.
The effect that someone else could achieve easily required her to go all out.
"The potential of Devil Fruit ability is infinite. As long as you continue to research, you will sooner or later turn awakening into instinct."
After hearing Im's words, Stussy felt his care and encouragement, and immediately smiled beautifully.
"Yes, I will definitely put in the effort and never disappoint Lord Im!"
"However, before that, some external forces can also be utilized."
Im waved his right hand, and a small golden yellow box appeared out of thin air on the tabletop.
Stussy knew it was for her, so she took it into her hand and gently opened the lid.
"This is..."
She saw two small round thin pieces standing upright inside.
And the pattern on the surface was exactly Otsutsuki Isshiki's mutated golden Rinnegan and perfect Byakugan.
"These are contact lens type Imperial Arms that Im made from his eyeballs."
Im began to explain to Stussy.
"One allows you to use Sukunahikona and Daikokuten, and the other allows you to possess all the abilities of the Byakugan."
"And they can both give you more powerful dynamic vision, as well as the ability to see various invisible energies."
"Im gives them to you, not just for you to use as tools, but more importantly, for you to seriously comprehend the rules within them and make your Mini-Mini Fruit ability improve further as soon as possible."
"Lord Im, I..."
Stussy tightly covered her lips with her palm, her heart full of moved feelings, her eyes filled with infatuation and love.
"Although Im cannot take you as a Heavenly Empress, Im is willing to accept your will. Your status on this Noah's Ark will not be inferior to any Heavenly Empress. Im hopes you can continue to manage the harem affairs well for Im."
Im finally confessed his idea to Stussy.
"Why... why?"
Stussy didn't understand why she couldn't become a Heavenly Empress.
"Because you are the bottom line Im set for desire. When Im is about to lose rationality, you will become that self-rescue rope..."
Im murmured in a low voice, saying words that made Stussy feel despair.
The previous joy and mood vanished completely at this moment.
With Im's current status, he could arbitrarily toy with any women he had a slight favor for.
Mikasa, Akame, Tsunade, Tiffania, or even Louise, or Durga, whose father had just been sentenced to the death penalty, none of them could escape.
But he didn't do that. Up until now, there were only two Heavenly Empresses.
When facing Otsutsuki Kaguya, he could also rationally judge the gains and losses of interests.
Because Im always felt that he had to control desire, not be controlled by desire, otherwise disaster would surely strike in the future!
And Stussy before him was the woman he wanted to take but had to restrain himself from.
If he didn't even take a woman he liked so much, then for other women he only had a slight favor for, he could naturally let his feelings arise but keep them in check.
This was very unfair to Stussy, who was tearful at this moment.
But Im had to do this.
"Now, only you can be Im's bottom line, just like Lily back then..."
