Delving into the Moon, Morpheus easily found Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, trapped and immobile.
Her eyes were closed, as if asleep.
She was a pitiable figure, betrayed by her sons and imprisoned in the Moon's darkness for over a millennium without going mad.
But on closer inspection, she wasn't so pitiable.
A thousand years ago, she sought to slaughter the ninja world, absorbing everyone's chakra to create White Zetsu. Such inhumanity made her imprisonment seem lenient.
She deserved death.
Though a lackluster chakra progenitor, Kaguya was still a progenitor. Even the Sage of the Six Paths couldn't kill her, only seal her.
But Morpheus was here now, and with him came justice.
While Kaguya was immobile, he began extracting her chakra.
Light particles rose from her body, flowing into Morpheus. His chakra swelled at an astonishing rate.
Sensing the loss, Kaguya stirred, opening her eyes to see Morpheus moving freely on the Moon.
"You… you…"
Morpheus smiled. "Sleep."
His hypnosis spell activated, and a wave of drowsiness hit Kaguya. She instinctively closed her eyes.
No, she couldn't sleep.
Feeling her chakra drain, she forced her eyes open, fighting the sleep. "Who are you? Return my chakra!"
"Hm? You can resist?" Morpheus was surprised but not shocked. Even a weakened Kaguya, having consumed a chakra fruit, had some resilience.
But it changed nothing.
Morpheus reached out, plucking the Rinne-Sharingan from her forehead, ignoring her agonized screams as he analyzed it.
He drained her chakra while fusing the eye.
He coveted its dojutsu, Amenominaka.
Named after the Japanese deity Ameno-Minakanushi, Amenominaka could instantly transport the user and others to alternate dimensions—lava, ice, hypergravity, sand, acid—all linked to the Starting Ball Space.
In the Starting Ball Space, Kaguya could absorb chakra from Infinite Tsukuyomi victims to restore and enhance her power.
Morpheus was intrigued by these dimensions. Absorbing them would further boost his strength.
Soon, Kaguya's screams weakened as her chakra dwindled. Her once-plump body withered.
When Morpheus extracted her final drop of chakra, the ninja world's progenitor became a desiccated corpse, truly dead.
Her Rinne-Sharingan merged into his Tensei Rinnegan, triggering a massive upgrade.
Amenominaka's dimensions were absorbed into Life Space, greatly expanding it and elevating Morpheus's power.
From this moment, no one in the ninja world could rival him.
It was time to summon his original self to consume the ninja world.
Acting swiftly, Morpheus left the Moon, setting up a massive magic array to call his original self.
Sensing the clone's summons, his original self, slumbering beyond the world, responded instantly.
With the clone as an anchor, Morpheus's original self crossed the world's barrier, appearing on the Moon.
He placed a hand on the clone's shoulder, and the clone dissolved into light, merging into him.
His eyes transformed into the Tensei Rinnegan.
But upon entering, Morpheus didn't consume the world immediately. He was stunned to find it vastly larger than expected.
Unlike Lostbelt worlds, mere Earth-sized fragments, this was a true universe—smaller than reality's, but spanning hundreds of galaxies.
A single galaxy held up to 400 billion stars, stretching 105,700 light-years.
This universe, with hundreds of galaxies, was staggering.
Compared to it, Morpheus's Light Dimension was like an ant beneath an elephant.
Consuming this world was no simple snake-swallowing-elephant feat—it was an ant devouring an elephant.
It couldn't be done quickly. Morpheus estimated that, at this rate, the otherworld would collide with the main world before he could finish.
His trip would be for nothing.
He needed a flawless plan to consume this world swiftly, preventing the collision.
After pondering, Morpheus decided to emulate the Ōtsutsuki clan.
The Ōtsutsuki, from a distant planet, lived for millennia, using "Wedges" to reincarnate, transcending death. Their goal was to consume planets' life forces before moving to the next.
Morpheus could adopt their method, targeting other planets to establish multiple consumption points, devouring the world simultaneously.
Though not Ōtsutsuki, he could create clones.
He grabbed a handful of his hair, blew on it, and it transformed into thousands of clones, each rivaling an Ōtsutsuki in strength.
His original self's power made this effortless.
"Go," Morpheus commanded. "Find life-bearing planets, establish consumption points, and help me devour this world."
The clones nodded, dispersing with their abilities to seek out planets.
Morpheus returned to the ninja world's planet, summoning the Light Dimension to begin consuming it.
A day later, the ninja world's planet was fully absorbed into the Light Dimension, making an indelible contribution to its growth.
