World No. 2.
Shinji, who had successively planted two God Trees, sat on the top of the Small God Tree, gazing at the vibrant world before him.
Undoubtedly, after devouring World No. 4, the Hegemon had set its sights here.
Whoosh...
The tech ball 'Little Yuan' flew to Shinji's side and reported: "Information collection complete, system evaluation starting."
Shinji remained silent.
Once targeted by the Hegemon, destruction was a matter of time, no matter how vibrant this world was now!
A moment later, 'Little Yuan' completed the evaluation: "Evaluation complete. According to the model calculation results, this world will be destroyed in 51 days."
'Little Yuan's' voice was not a rigid mechanical sound, but a gentle female voice, yet the content of her report sent chills down one's spine.
"Another world is going to be destroyed..."
Shinji whispered.
On the time scale of an entire world, fifty-some days was but a fleeting moment.
Knowing he couldn't stop all this, Shinji put away his lamentations and immediately activated the power of the 'Lamp', opening a spatial rift leading to the shinobi world.
Considering that the Otsutsuki in the starry sky could descend on the shinobi world at any time, even while in World No. 2, he maintained a communication frequency of once a day with the shinobi world. Because if Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki, these Otsutsuki he knew well, descended on the shinobi world simultaneously, he was really somewhat worried that the shinobi world wouldn't be able to handle it.
As the spatial rift opened, messages were transmitted to Shinji's side.
"Uh..."
Shinji, who received the messages, was stunned at first, then his expression became a bit strange.
The flying fortress and the research institute sent reports to Shinji simultaneously.
The content of the report from the flying fortress was that after a great battle, they successfully captured Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki who descended on the shinobi world, leaving only Urashiki Otsutsuki at large. In addition, Toneri was plotted against by Urashiki Otsutsuki and imprisoned on the moon's surface, needing Shinji to rescue him.
The content of the report from the research institute was that Hiruko's ritual was interfered with, Hiruko died on the spot, and other researchers and security personnel suffered heavy casualties.
"Actually caught both Momoshiki and Kinshiki..." After the surprise, Shinji was somewhat speechless: "Are Momoshiki and Kinshiki here specifically to feed?"
Actually, thinking carefully, this wasn't too surprising.
In the original timeline, the shinobi world had almost no 'Six Paths Level' combat power. Naruto and Sasuke after the Fourth Great Ninja War were only at the Quasi-'Six Paths Level', yet they still dealt with the harassment of Otsutsuki like Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki.
And in the current shinobi world, just the 'Six Paths Level' combat power included Karin, Hikari, Toneri boosted by the giant Tenseigan, Orochimaru, Eida, and Daemon. So achieving the record of capturing Momoshiki and Kinshiki alive and repelling Urashiki was completely reasonable.
Shinji looked up at the sky.
Currently, the Hegemon had just begun to invade World No. 2, so the spatial barrier of World No. 2 was still relatively intact. Leaving for a short while shouldn't cause any big trouble.
But even so, before leaving, he still left two Shadow Clones to guard the Big and Small God Trees respectively.
Through the spatial rift opened by the 'Lamp', Shinji's main body returned to the shinobi world.
His first stop was directly the moon's surface, finding Toneri Otsutsuki imprisoned by Urashiki using time freeze.
Shinji walked around the imprisoned Toneri and sized him up, muttering to himself: "Just like my 'Shrine of the Gods', it's a dojutsu on the time side!"
Compared to dojutsu on the space side, dojutsu on the time side were rarer. However, the Otsutsuki clan's research in the space-time domain was very deep. Besides various dojutsu involving space-time, they also developed quite a few treasured tools involving space-time.
For example, the Otsutsuki clan's treasured tool 'Karasuki', found by Urashiki Otsutsuki in the shinobi world in the original timeline, was a high-level treasured tool capable of reversing space-time and returning to the past.
Shinji rubbed his chin, pondering.
As long as he used 'Shrine of the Gods', he could rescue Toneri instantly, but if he did that, Urashiki would notice.
Now Urashiki was fleeing. If he discovered that there was someone in the shinobi world who could release his time freeze, Shinji worried it would scare him so much that he wouldn't dare to show his face again.
One must know that although Urashiki gave people a feeling of being lackluster, mastering dojutsu like 'Time Freeze' and 'Yomotsu Hirasaka', he was a veritable 'Kekkei Mora', second only to Shinji in the current shinobi world. If he was bent on fleeing, even Shinji couldn't do much about him.
Suppressing the thought of rescuing Toneri, Shinji flashed back to his own flying fortress in the shinobi world.
"Leader!"
Seeing Shinji return, Karin and Hikari hurriedly went up to greet him.
Shinji smiled: "The harvest this time is not small!"
Karin said: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth either; the opponent's strength seems not as strong as imagined."
Shinji shook his head: "No, it's you who have become stronger!"
Momoshiki's paper data was actually very strong. Whether in the original timeline or this timeline, the main reason for his defeat was being too conceited and careless.
If Shinji were to control Momoshiki's body, plus the assistance of Kinshiki and Urashiki, he was confident he could easily sweep the shinobi world.
Uchiha Hikari lowered her head at this time, somewhat embarrassed: "Shinji, I made a mistake and let Urashiki Otsutsuki escape."
Shinji gently patted Hikari's shoulder: "Don't mind it, Urashiki is the strongest among them, a 'Kekkei Mora' of the same rank as me."
Hikari was somewhat puzzled: "But... but he didn't seem that strong?"
Shinji chuckled: "The environment the Otsutsuki live in is different from our shinobi world. They are born as gods, looking down on all living beings from high above, so they don't have many opportunities to fight personally. Even if there are battles, they are often crushing victories due to tiered strength differences, so they are very weak in terms of combat skills and will."
Hikari instantly understood: "No wonder I felt Isshiki Otsutsuki was much stronger than them, so it was because of this!"
Actually, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was plotted against by Kaguya Otsutsuki and laid dormant in the shinobi world for a millennium, was the anomaly among the Otsutsuki.
Other Otsutsuki like Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki, and even Kaguya Otsutsuki, hailed as the 'Progenitor of Chakra' in the shinobi world, as well as the 'Sage of Six Paths' Hagoromo Otsutsuki who founded Ninshu, and Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon, their true combat levels were just so-so.
The Fourth Great Ninja War in the original timeline was Black Zetsu plotting against Madara Uchiha to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki. If Black Zetsu failed, and the 'naive and sweet' Kaguya Otsutsuki was not revived, and Naruto and Sasuke still faced Madara Uchiha whose combat literacy was maxed out, the final outcome would really be hard to say.
So although in terms of chakra level, Kaguya Otsutsuki as a 'Kekkei Mora' was stronger than Madara Uchiha at the 'Six Paths Level', actual combat was hard to say...
