"It's actually… it's really the remains of Shibai."
While the entire Ninja World was in chaos, and even the Sage of Six Paths was preparing to make a move.
Within Isshiki's personal dimension, Kaguya saw the man who looked like a god in that hidden space and became somewhat flustered. What made her even more flustered was that she actually saw Takemi trying to take this person away, which really scared her badly.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing? Do you know what he represents?"
"Of course I do, but so what?"
Takemi asked with some confusion, but his hands didn't stop for a moment. He had already opened his own personal dimension.
He knew what Kaguya wanted to express, but he didn't care, because this time it was truly 'Isshiki did it too'. In fact, it was 'Isshiki did it first.'
He admitted that Shibai was a god-like existence, and his remains were an incredible treasure.
Even just sensing his aura made Takemi feel fear, but so what?
He had long since achieved transcendence, and he probably didn't even care about this body of his.
Isshiki had people extract his blood, used his body for research, and even replicated his Shinjutsu and transplanted it onto others.
After so much research and experimentation, this Ōtsutsuki God showed no reaction or response whatsoever. This was enough to show that this fellow had completely transcended, and was indifferent to this body that he had abandoned. He had soared into a higher dimension, becoming a true God.
"Since Isshiki did it, why can't I?"
Takemi raised an eyebrow. This was a crucial step for him towards the Path to Godhood, and he would never give it up.
"Do you really think Isshiki sealed him here without any other intentions?"
Takemi said disdainfully after transferring Shibai's remains to his own dimension.
"He dared to do it, why wouldn't I? Are you kidding me?"
"You… how do you know he dared?"
Kaguya hesitated for a moment, still asking with some fear, but this question stumped Takemi.
It seemed that Isshiki hadn't done it yet?
But Takemi didn't have time to dwell on it. Suddenly, he saw his God tree source had returned to the form of a giant tree. That towering tree was emitting an unparalleled aura, its magnificent branches seeming to pierce the sky. And above the tree canopy, the originally budding flower bud had slightly opened, a hint of crimson faintly visible within.
"It's already reached this stage?"
Takemi looked at his God tree source, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
"Then, next is the second Ten-Tails. The outside is also starting to gather, it seems everything is not far off…"
Kaguya saw Takemi ignoring her again and originally wanted to say something more. But when she saw the unimaginably vast God tree and the remains of Shibai that Takemi had brought in, she dared not say a word. All that remained in her heart was fear, afraid that if she said one more word, she would be the one to suffer. Moreover, she became increasingly certain of one thing.
'He even dares to use the remains of such a god-like being.'
"Hagoromo, you abandoning your bodies was indeed because of this.'
...
"It seems your luck isn't so good."
In the Ninja World, Takemi's God Tree Clone continued to deliver powerful blows.
This time, the increase in power was significant, at least for the God tree and the God Tree Clone covered in energy.
"My power has increased again, even possessing some of the Ōtsutsuki's strength, and I also have Truth-Seeking Balls?"
To be honest, Takemi felt very strange experiencing this power himself, because a thought popped into his head.
Could it be that my current strength has already reached that of a Human God tree?
In his memory, Human God trees were those things that Code kept evolving the Ten-Tails to destroy Konoha, but Ten-Tails broke free from his control. Finally, it 'self-awakened' with consciousness and displayed combat power not inferior to that of an Ōtsutsuki.
Takemi's situation was somewhat similar, because the God tree's power seemed too formidable, even the clone began to undergo a transformation.
'But the difference is that the essence of this God tree is the god tree source, and the control is entirely mine.'
Even the clone seemed like Takemi's will was superimposed on the 'split body'.
But this is even better.
Takemi's attacks became more and more relentless. The Truth-Seeking Balls in his hand simply transformed into short blades, and this made Obito and the other two unable to hold on.
"Damn it, is this the end point of evolution?"
Feeling the terrifying power erupting, experiencing Takemi's attacks that were almost at the Ōtsutsuki level.
This made them unbearable, but at the same time, they were inexplicably excited.
"Is this also the state we will eventually reach?"
While the three were still suffering from Takemi's heavy blows, in their consciousness space, the three Ōtsutsuki looked at each other.
"This guy…"
Momoshiki watched as Takemi casually condensed a Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Ball, which instantly blasted towards the three.
The next moment, the entire earth collapsed wildly, and the roaring energy, like a tide, continuously destroyed everything around it. This scene made him even more certain of one thing.
"He already has the power of the Ten-Tails. Is he really the Planet's Will?"
"I don't know either, but don't forget that this world has been rooted by the God tree and absorbed massive amounts of power."
Isshiki thought for a moment, then spoke with some uncertainty.
"Perhaps when the God tree absorbed the planet's energy, the planet intercepted the God tree's power, so…"
"It condensed its power and eventually turned into him?"
Urashiki nodded. Although the story was a bit bizarre, it at least explained Takemi's unusual nature.
"What an interesting fellow. No wonder Takeshiki set his sights on him. He's practically an existence like a Chakra fruit."
"That's right, in some sense, Takeshiki is also a pioneer."
Isshiki couldn't help but sigh, then nodded, which immediately made Momoshiki's face full of strangeness.
"Huh? If I remember correctly, weren't you the one who started it? Takeshiki was just following in your footsteps, wasn't he?"
"…How much have you unfrozen now?"
Isshiki was silent for a moment, having no intention of resisting, and simply changed the subject.
"I've basically reached the second stage of the freezing point and can try to control my vessel."
"I'm pretty much there too."
Urashiki raised an eyebrow, then simply said with a smile.
"Although Takemi's strength was too great, causing me to waste a lot of energy repairing my vessel, fighting him also accelerated my unfreezing."
"Me too."
Momoshiki didn't hide anything either, his progress was also quite good.
"Takemi is a good opponent. He has been controlling his strength, after all, he is also waiting for the Ten-Tails, but it's almost time to stop dragging it out."
"It seems the three of us will finally have to fully join forces."
The three Ōtsutsuki exchanged glances. They all had their own agendas, and even their current companions were no longer simple companions. But after being 'dead' for so long, the three of them had long since been unable to hold on, not to mention they also had a common enemy.
That was the most insane one, Takeshiki who created the Path to Godhood. Only by dealing with this mad clansman could the three of them rest assured and continue their plans.
"Hmm?"
However, just as the three of them excitedly awaited their revival, and Obito and the other two continued to be beaten savagely.
Suddenly, flashes of light flickered in the sky, and not only that, the earth also trembled violently at this moment.
"What is that?"
Takemi stopped, his gaze directed towards the distance.
The sky at this moment was already somewhat dim, and their location was no longer the Land of Hot Water.
They had already fought their way to the coastline of Uzushiogakure, so this area was originally the location of the final battlefield.
Feeling the changes around him, he finally couldn't help but whisper.
"They're here? That was quick."
As his voice fell, countless figures rapidly appeared in the distance. They surged like a tide, quickly converging from all directions towards this spot.
