At their level, any significant power increase usually took centuries. While most otsutsuki were naturally indolent, it was still unreasonable for someone to strengthen so drastically within just a few days!
Ichimomozuki felt singled out. Ever since arriving on this planet, nothing good had happened to him!
After his fury passed, he calmed himself.
Although the growth rate of those two was beyond his expectations, overall, it wasn't a huge problem.
He could clearly sense that each of those two was still weaker than him.
He had been knocked away just now purely because he was too confident—attacking both of them at once had left him unprepared.
As long as he concentrated his firepower and eliminated one of them first, victory would still be his!
"Crushing the weak with overwhelming strength—advantage is mine!" Ichimomozuki regained his confidence and flew leisurely out from the huge crater. "Don't think…"
Before he could finish speaking, Seiki and Aizen appeared almost like they had used otsutsuki Teleportation, one on each side.
One lashed out with a fist, the other with a sword.
"Again?!" Ichimomozuki angrily ignored Aizen and instead slashed his right leg downward like an axe toward Seiki.
[Spiral Meteor Explosion!]
Seiki clenched his fist tightly, detonating the spiral stellar core compressed to the extreme within his palm.
Immediately, energy integrating four systems erupted from his fingers, forming a storm around his fist, rushing forward with cataclysmic might to meet the enemy!
"This bastard tricked me!" Ichimomozuki widened his eyes. He had thought the opponent was just trying to test physical strength against him!
How despicable—he used underhanded tactics, disregarding honorable conduct!
Boom!
Under Seiki's overwhelming punch, the once stable space shattered like glass, black cracks spreading across its surface. The chaotic currents from the Void nearly tore Ichimomozuki's body apart!
[Space Solidification!]
Clenching his jaw, Ichimomozuki suppressed the spatial chaos. But before he could relax even for a moment, he heard a "tearing" sound—and a black sword pierced through his chest!
"Pu!" Ichimomozuki spat out a large mouthful of blood. Turning his head, he saw Aizen standing behind him, pinning him into the Void with the sword!
"Huh? How come it's Truth-Seeking Balls?" Ichimomozuki was puzzled. The weapon Aizen held just now was clearly an ordinary sword. Moreover, hadn't he not mastered that power the last time?
Before he could recover, Seiki approached again, hands clasped together, crashing down on his head like a heavy hammer!
Ichimomozuki was smashed away heavily, almost breaking out of his Gatai state!
"Damn bastards! Don't think you can win just by ambushing me!"
Ichimomozuki bellowed in fury. Ignoring his bleeding wounds, he forcibly activated the Shinra Tensei, unleashing an incredibly powerful repelling force from his body.
Amplified by the golden Rinnegan multiple times over, the repelling force nearly transformed into a storm, flinging both Seiki and Aizen away.
Seizing the moment the force had separated the two, Ichimomozuki quickly activated the otsutsuki Teleportation, instantly appearing before Aizen, then accelerating the shrunken Moon before launching it toward him.
Once the Moon exited the Dojutsu space, its size rapidly expanded back to its original dimensions, yet its speed didn't decrease at all!
After being struck by the Moon moving at speed rivaling a bullet, Aizen's body instantly exploded into dust!
But in the next moment, a brand-new Aizen emerged from the illusion!
Ichimomozuki's expression turned grim. Last time, he had been completely outmatched and had no clue his opponent had a move like this!
"Sure, he can revive, but why can't I sense even a hint of weakness from him?"
After the Moon collided with Aizen, its growth in size and acceleration showed no sign of slowing, continuing its descent toward the surface unabated!
Although the Moon in this world was nowhere near as massive as the Moon in Shimaseki Seiki's past life, when such a celestial body appeared in the sky of a planet, its impact was still immeasurable!
The seas surged into tides, mountains crumbled and collapsed!
Most importantly, the Moon began to break apart and disintegrate under the gravitational pull of the planet!
"If this keeps up, both the Moon and the planet will be destroyed, and Kaguya sealed within the Moon will escape too!"
"What reckless behavior!" Shimaseki Seiki's face remained calm, showing no sign of panic. "Fine. Let the Moon serve as our final battlefield!"
The 2.0 version of the Dream World, infused with the spatial power of the Three Sacred Lands, instantly enveloped the Moon. In the moment just before impact, the Moon was transformed into a secret realm similar to the Three Sacred Lands!
This chain of events happened in the blink of an eye—unless one could think beyond the limits of time, there was absolutely no way to react!
"What just happened?"
"Huh? Did something happen just now?"
Only the Kage (Shadow)-level experts could barely follow the battle.
"To use the Moon itself as a weapon... I couldn't even imagine it without seeing it with my own eyes!" Senju Butsuma exclaimed in awe. "Hashirama, could you pull off something like that?"
"I definitely couldn't—" Hashirama began instinctively, only to realize belatedly what he'd heard. "Father, why are you here?"
"You damned brat, do I really have to come looking for you?" Butsuma grumbled. "And what the hell is that Otsutsuki summoning us here for? With our power, we clearly can't take part in a battle like this!"
"These two actually..." Ichimomozuki frowned. Suddenly noticing the two looking in his direction, his heart skipped half a beat. He tried using Shinra Tensei once again to push them apart.
However, the same technique was completely ineffective against ninja!
Shimaseki Seiki instantly activated [Time Stop], and together with Nagare, launched a brutal assault on Ichimomozuki!
[Time Stop] ended quickly, and Ichimomozuki regained control of his body in an instant.
Furious from the overwhelming wave of pain flooding in, Ichimomozuki roared, "[Time Stop]! Don't think you're the only one who can do it!"
Dodging Aizen's strike while kicking Shimaseki Seiki aside, Ichimomozuki used the final moment of his time-stopped ability to fiercely grab Shimaseki Seiki by both legs and tore him in half!
When time resumed, Ichimomozuki, covered in blood, laughed loudly. "Who's next, then?"
"Ahh!!"
A sharp scream jolted him out of his frenzy. Looking down, Ichimomozuki saw that the one he'd torn apart was just a White Snake!
"How is this possible?!" Ichimomozuki widened his eyes in shock. Naturally, he wouldn't apologize to some mere local, and disgustedly tossed the White Snake aside.
After a moment of thought, Ichimomozuki quickly figured it out and glared at Aizen. "[Genjutsu]! Did you use it to manipulate my vision before [Time Stop]?"
"Not too clueless after all!" Aizen clapped his hands and glanced to the side. "Seiki, it's your move!"
Seiki replied concisely, "Beat him!"
With their perfectly coordinated use of [Time Stop - Genjutsu], Ichimomozuki was beaten so hard he started questioning his reality within just a few seconds!
According to his limited combat understanding, he should have had the advantage!
He might not be able to dominate outright, but the opponents shouldn't even have teamwork experience!
Yet these two clearly had never cooperated before, so why were they so perfectly in sync?
Could this be what they call the battle intuition of strong fighters?
