World No. 4.
Sitting at the top of the God Tree, Shinji reviewed in detail the reports sent by Amado one by one.
These reports were all some of the results recently produced by the research institute. The core part was undoubtedly Orochimaru's unprecedented fusion ritual.
Amado made very detailed records of the entire process of the ritual, from preparation to execution, and finally to the conclusion, which included images, audio, and various complicated data.
For ordinary people, it might be difficult to evaluate this data, but for Shinji, who had long been at the forefront of research and whose strength had reached the 'Kekkei Mora' level, as long as he paid a little attention, he could outline the situation of the ritual site bit by bit from the complicated data.
"To think it could reach this extent..."
As Shinji read this report in depth, his expression became increasingly grave.
It was obvious that the effect of this ritual not only exceeded the research institute's expectations, but even exceeded Shinji's expectations.
Judging solely from the data, the research institute seemed to have used Hiruko's ritual this time to successfully create an artificial human closer to Shibai Otsutsuki than the siblings Eida and Daemon!
Especially since this artificial human is Orochimaru, who possesses impressive strength and scientific research ability!
"Is my 'Kotoamatsukami' still effective?"
Shinji couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
The title of 'Kotoamatsukami' being the strongest genjutsu is not just for show, but ultimately it is only a Mangekyo dojutsu, only a type of genjutsu. So even Shinji, at this moment, found it difficult to judge whether his 'Kotoamatsukami' was still effective.
After all, Orochimaru, having survived the ritual, has now obtained Shibai Otsutsuki's chakra.
And reaching Shinji's level, he naturally knew that the foundation of all jutsu is chakra. So the contest between jutsu and jutsu, oftentimes, can actually be simply regarded as a confrontation between chakra and chakra.
Continuing to look through the report, Shinji's face sank slightly.
Amado mentioned in the report that Orochimaru after the ritual was very cooperative with the research institute's research and did not have any outrageous behavior. But based on his understanding of 'Shinjutsu', as well as the analysis of the data, he suspected that Orochimaru had already mastered at least one kind of 'Shinjutsu'.
As for why Orochimaru did not report it, this was worth pondering.
Thinking positively, it might be that Orochimaru has not completely mastered it yet and is in the exploration stage. Thinking negatively, that would be Orochimaru deliberately concealing it, plotting something in secret.
Amado also mentioned that he had arranged for Eida and Daemon to monitor Orochimaru around the clock, and transferred Orochimaru's old subordinates away from the research institute headquarters under various excuses.
Shinji put down the report and looked into the distance.
The sky of World No. 4 was currently obscured by dark clouds, and thunderstorms roared in the clouds from time to time, making people feel suppressed.
A miracle did not happen!
The Hegemon that swallowed World No. 1 did not let go of the remaining five worlds of the 'World Annihilation Society', but turned around and targeted World No. 4, starting a rapid invasion.
In order to deal with the Hegemon's invasion, Shinji had no choice but to plant a God Tree in World No. 4, once again snatching food from the tiger's mouth, and vying with the Hegemon for planetary energy.
Like the previous World No. 1, the Hegemon had actually long launched pollution against this world in secret, so the invasion went very smoothly. Obviously, the erosion had only just begun not long ago, yet cracks appeared in World No. 4's spatial barrier, allowing the Hegemon's power to penetrate in smoothly.
...
For this reason, Shinji had to guard beside the God Tree, urging the God Tree to speed up the absorption of planetary energy, and this was the reason why he did not rush back to the shinobi world to monitor the ritual.
Whoosh
At this time, a circular metal tech ball flew back from the distance to in front of Shinji: "Data collection complete!"
Shinji nodded: "Little Yuan, import the data model!"
"As you wish!" Pausing for a moment, the tech ball Little Yuan said: "Model calculation will be completed in fifteen minutes, please wait a moment."
Soon, the tech ball Little Yuan began to compute the model at full power.
After personally experiencing several worlds destroyed by the Hegemon, Shinji collected a large amount of precious data and established a model using this data. According to the model calculation, he could now calculate the time of the Hegemon's destruction of the world relatively accurately.
A moment later, Little Yuan finished the calculation and reported: "According to the model calculation result, this world will be destroyed in 46 days!"
"Not even two months..."
Shinji sighed faintly.
Those idiots in the 'World Annihilation Society' still thought they found a backer, but in reality, their world had long been thoroughly penetrated by the Hegemon. Under normal circumstances, the Hegemon needs at least one or two years of erosion to penetrate its power into the interior of the spatial barrier, but for their world, the Hegemon only needs less than two months to completely swallow it, showing how deep the pollution is!
And this also made Shinji feel a crisis. The Hegemon behind the 'World Annihilation Society' seemed more insidious than other Hegemons. This kind of Hegemon who plays dirty tricks made him very apprehensive, because if the other party could bewitch the 'Lampbearers' to found a 'World Annihilation Society', it could bewitch 'Lampbearers' to found a second one.
In a situation where the disparity between strong and weak is so great, 'Lampbearers' defecting to the Hegemon is not a small probability event.
"It seems in the future I must not only guard against Hegemons, but also guard against 'Lampbearers' who might have secretly defected to the Hegemon..."
After secretly warning himself, Shinji disappeared from the spot with a flash.
World No. 4 only had 46 days left. Under this circumstance, he had no qualms, so after planting his own God Tree, he chose another place and released the Little Ten-Tails.
Roar
Gaining freedom, the Little Ten-Tails immediately let out a roar, but after sensing Shinji's chakra, it instantly became well-behaved again.
The suppressive power of a 'Kekkei Mora' who had swallowed two 'Chakra Fruits' over a Ten-Tails is undoubted.
Landing on the Little Ten-Tails' head, Shinji tapped his foot: "Behave!"
The Little Ten-Tails hurriedly squatted down obediently.
Shinji looked around, then said to the Little Ten-Tails: "Take root here, absorb as you please, absorb as much as you can!"
The Little Ten-Tails became restless, but it did not immediately turn into a God Tree, because in its juvenile form, it could not transform into a God Tree capable of absorbing planetary energy relying on its own ability.
Shinji didn't waste words either, directly extracting his own chakra and infusing it into the Little Ten-Tails' body, ordering: "Go!"
After obtaining the nourishment of Shinji's chakra, the Little Ten-Tails roared to the sky, then transformed into a God Tree, and took root in the earth!
Shinji landed on top of the God Tree transformed from the Little Ten-Tails, looking at the dark clouds overhead, thinking: "I'll use two God Trees to absorb at once, let's see what you can do to me!"
