"Keep struggling. Your energy will eventually become a part of me." Takemi nodded.
Although this kind of devouring seemed tragic, it wasn't actually that bloody. Ten-Tails is a beast, but also a God tree. Their devouring also follows energy devouring.
Takemi's god tree source was different, and had received many of his resources. Now that he had cut off the god tree source's supply to him, his god tree source even larger and more terrifying. Dealing with a heavily injured Ten-Tails was simply a piece of cake.
"Recover well. There's another Ten-Tails waiting for you. I'm looking forward to your fruit."
Takemi listened to the shrill screams coming from the spatial passage and happily closed the spatial gate. He was truly looking forward to it now, waiting for those Ōtsutsuki to see his Kekkei Mora, and even higher-level Kekkei Mora.
Will they be internally surprised to the point of madness?
"But before that, I still need to get Shibai's remains. Fortunately, I've already located them. It just needs some time." Takemi muttered to himself, then smiled at Kaguya within him.
"Let's go meet that Shibai. Although he's already dead, his legends are quite numerous. Perhaps he can even help me."
"…"
Kaguya did not answer. She was still immersed in her own thoughts, and this silence made Takemi confused.
"Hey, what's wrong with you again?"
"…"
This voice brought Kaguya back to her senses.
Feeling the astonishing aura emanating from Takemi, looking at the vast, empty space where the Ten-Tails was no longer present, and the Ten-Tails' screams echoing in her mind, she sighed faintly.
"Hagoromo, you are even more cold-blooded and brutal than I imagined."
"?"
"I admit, I have completely lost."
"…"
Takemi vaguely sensed Kaguya's Chakra. He really couldn't understand what this woman was overthinking again.
However, he had guessed one thing correctly, the three Ōtsutsuki were indeed already going a little mad internally.
Although they hadn't met yet, the power that could break through Amenominaka's blockade made them guess that Takeshiki most likely used the ability of Kekkei Mora. And all of this was enough to make them have countless conjectures.
Kekkei Mora is something different. This elevation in life level was even more attractive than simply gaining power. And the Path to Godhood seemed to possess both, which meant something self-evident.
'If it's true, then the value of the Path to Godhood is too high, and too important.'
However, thinking of this, the three of them all stopped, because they didn't dare to continue thinking about it. The matter was of great importance, and even they had to carefully confirm it.
"Perhaps it was a wrong feeling. There are still many things that need to be confirmed."
After a while, Isshiki spoke in a low voice. His words made Urashiki and Momoshiki nod in agreement.
"Indeed, many things need to be reconfirmed."
"…"
Looking at the nonchalant expressions of the two, Isshiki knew that he had spoken in vain. However, he didn't mind, instead focusing more on the current battle situation.
"Hmph, Takemi has probably discovered our existence. Otherwise, he could have struck with heavy force, but he deliberately hasn't."
"Indeed he's waiting for something."
Momoshiki gave Isshiki a deep look, then turned his gaze to their vessels.
"It's like he's deliberately toying with our vessels, neither striking hard nor leaving. What is his purpose?"
"Could it be the Ten-Tails collected by these guys?"
Urashiki pondered for a moment, seemingly finding an answer.
"Since he has discovered us, he has probably also realized that continuous action will accelerate our release, but he is also worried that our accelerated emergence will disrupt these guys' plans."
"So he's stalling, waiting for the Ten-Tails to be released. Clearly, his goal is also the Ten-Tails."
Isshiki also realized something, but as soon as the Ten-Tails was mentioned, his fists clenched again. His personal dimension had been raided by Takeshiki. His Ten-Tails was gone. And what he was most worried about was not just the Ten-Tails, but the remains of Shibai hidden deep within his spatial dimension.
Given the personality of that madman, Takeshiki, once he found it, who knew what kind of mess would happen?
'This madman, he wouldn't be thinking of using the remains to create some Path to Godhood, would he?'
Although doing so didn't seem problematic to him, the crucial point was that all of this originally belonged to him.
'Damn it, this Takemi, because of his own ideas, indirectly helped Takeshiki.'
At the thought of Takeshiki indirectly benefiting, they all became extremely displeased.
After all, they hadn't revived yet, so they naturally couldn't stop Takeshiki from ambushing Isshiki's personal dimension. Of course, whether they could win if they revived and rushed over was also hard to say.
"Huh, why is Takemi's aura getting stranger and stranger?"
Suddenly, Urashiki looked at Takemi with some surprise, speaking in confusion.
"His aura suddenly weakened just now, and I found it a bit strange, but now his aura is continuously getting stronger. It's really odd."
"Could it be, this is the so-called evolutionist?"
Urashiki raised an eyebrow, and Isshiki's face also showed a strange expression.
"It's really strange, why is the God tree's aura on him getting stronger and stronger? What's going on?"
They couldn't be mistaken about the God tree's aura, after all, they themselves had planted countless God Trees. But Takemi's aura was getting heavier and stronger, which made them all wonder.
But no matter what, this seemed to further prove Takeshiki's approval. This guy truly possessed incredible energy. Once devoured, this would definitely be an important step on the Path to Godhood.
"Damn it, why is he also continuously getting stronger?"
Obito and the other two also noticed the difference in 'Takemi' before them. An incredible aura continuously condensed and brewed on his body. This power grew stronger and stronger, more and more captivating, filling the faces of the three of them with disbelief.
"Damn it, is he also continuously evolving?"
Suddenly, Obito realized something and spoke in disbelief.
These words immediately made Nagato and Kimimaro's faces become somewhat dazed.
Nagato was naturally someone who had felt the 'call of power'. The power within him constantly told him to keep fighting.
And while Kimimaro didn't quite understand the so-called evolution, he also knew that through battle, one could continuously unleash their power.
But how far Takemi had reached, they weren't clear, because he was simply too strong, so strong that he exceeded their imagination.
In this battle, they had originally intended to temper themselves through Takemi, and also wanted to see where his evolution limit was. Now it seemed they were about to see this limit, but the situation seemed to have become more complicated.
'It's the power gained by the god tree source devouring the Ten-Tails, which is being fed back to the clone.'
Takemi's God Tree Clone had a strange expression, as if he himself hadn't anticipated this scene.
But as the Chakra within him grew more and more turbulent, his body suddenly floated gently.
The next moment, endless trees burst out of the ground around him, and a layer of azure glow unconsciously appeared on his body. This glow burned like a fierce flame, and the pure Chakra aura was suffocating. And behind him, three Truth-Seeking Balls quietly coalesced around him.
"This is the power that Takeshiki used?"
Obito and the other two recognized it immediately. The golden sword formed by the Truth-Seeking Balls was unforgettable to them.
And at this moment, they also had a terrifying guess—
Takemi, has he reached the end of evolution?
However, Takemi's aura grew stronger and stronger. This aura was captivating, and despair-inducing.
Buzz—
The next moment, when this aura condensed to its extreme, the surging Chakra suddenly erupted. The roaring Chakra instantly turned the sky white, and the vast Chakra at that moment seemed to spread throughout the entire Ninja World.
Obito and the other two were knocked to the ground by this terrifying Chakra. They stared blankly at Takemi floating in the air, and at this moment, they clenched their fists.
"This is the true evolutionist?"
