Uehara Naraku took the last two world-class items from the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild and tossed a Ring of Destiny to Momonga, making the deal a great bargain.
For Momonga...
This deal was also very advantageous. At least in his view, he would no longer have to worry about Uehara Naraku causing them trouble in the future.
Momonga carefully placed the Ring of Destiny on his finger bone and looked at Uehara Naraku, asking, "Touch me and Hubert are still alive, right..."
"Yes."
Uehara Naraku nodded indifferently, casually putting away the world-class items, and said softly, "If you want to see them, perhaps there will be a chance in the future as this world is about to connect with the game world."
"Connect?"
"Yes."
Uehara Naraku nodded slowly, explaining softly, "But it's necessary to wait until the game company completely creates NPCs to maintain order in this world... Moreover, when future players come, they must be downgraded."
Otherwise...
This world would become a paradise where players could act recklessly!
Once Uehara Naraku confines this otherworld, he will reconstruct a new World Tree, placing Earth, the nine major game worlds, and the otherworlds, all eleven worlds, in the same galaxy of the Black Hole Universe.
With the last two world-class items in hand...
The fear spread to the entire otherworld continent after slaughtering tens of thousands of adventurers previously. Once the main quest was completed, Uehara Naraku acted to incorporate the otherworld into the Black Hole Universe.
This welfare task was finally completely concluded.
Just with Earth's players, the nine major worlds, and most importantly the otherworld, plus two hundred world-class items, Uehara Naraku's world power significantly increased!
"World Power..."
Uehara Naraku glanced at his value panel, eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Eighty million world power, it should be enough... The next world is one that targets the soul, and it seems I need to find a way to prepare well."
Black Hole Universe.
In the depths of this universe.
Uehara Naraku opened up a hidden Divine Domain, and the black hole of the Divine Domain slowly opened an entrance, with figures stepping in one by one.
"How's the Pirate World handled?"
Uehara Naraku looked at Yakushi Kabuto in the forefront.
"It's already on track."
Yakushi Kabuto spread his palms and smiled lightly, saying, "Akatsuki represents the highest status in the world, and no one will dare resist Akatsuki's rule..."
After saying this, Yakushi Kabuto surveyed the figures around, his smile growing deeper: "It seems I've kept up with Lord Naraku's pace the fastest..."
Because apart from him...
The surroundings are full of Reanimated beings!
Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Gol D. Roger, Edward Newgate...
Not a single living person from Akatsuki is present here!
Of course, Yakushi Kabuto doesn't believe Uehara Naraku intends to kill him for Reanimation because he knows his boss well. This boss would never turn on his own people...
If he doesn't betray Uehara Naraku...
He can surely witness even more grandiose sights.
According to Yakushi Kabuto's speculation, Uehara Naraku did not summon others, indicating that in Uehara Naraku's heart, only he is useful for Uehara Naraku's future plans.
After all...
Only Yakushi Kabuto's performance in the Pirate World was the best.
Frankly speaking, Yakushi Kabuto had long realized that the gap between these Akatsuki members and Uehara Naraku would only grow, so he tried every possible way to catch up!
"Well, you could say that..."
Uehara Naraku tilted his head, speaking softly, "Because in the next world, I might need some souls, and coincidentally, Kabuto, your specialty is the Reanimation Jutsu, and you have a batch of Reanimated members..."
Because the next world to go to is the Bleach World.
In that world, Yakushi Kabuto's Reanimation Ninjas are the most suited to survive there, as long as they can absorb spiritual power to become Shinigami...
They can be transformed into a formidable fighting force!
Hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Yakushi Kabuto's expression immediately turned serious, and he looked at Uehara Naraku, speaking softly, "Lord Naraku, can you share some of the universe's secrets with me?"
"Hmm..."
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brows tightly, nodded, and said, "It's slightly complex; their power is peculiar, with the main power being the use of spiritual power to turn into a Zanpakuto..."
This exchange took quite some time.
With Uehara Naraku's explanation, Yakushi Kabuto gradually got a rough understanding of that world.
Yakushi Kabuto suddenly smiled: "Lord Naraku... if soul cultivation is needed, I think perhaps Lord Orochimaru can assist you..."
To be honest...
Uehara Naraku and Yakushi Kabuto felt quite sorry for Orochimaru.
For so long, Orochimaru only wanted to study his own affairs, yet Uehara Naraku would occasionally scheme against Orochimaru, forcing him to resist. However, each time his resistance led him into Uehara Naraku's control.
Until in the end...
Orochimaru could not escape his fate as a pawn.
If possible, Yakushi Kabuto hopes to rescue Orochimaru, at least to avoid living a life in the dark depths of Ryuchi Cave.
Until now, Orochimaru has not reclaimed his body.
Orochimaru cannot conduct his beloved research, and can only use chakra daily to protect his soul enabling its survival in Ryuchi Cave...
As someone who once benefited from Orochimaru's care, Yakushi Kabuto naturally wouldn't want someone he respects to continue living in such misery...
"Orochimaru, huh?"
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brows, recalling his first encounter with Orochimaru, and finally sighed slowly: "I understand, Kabuto, but this time our journey will be arduous..."
"No problem."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled and shook his head, speaking softly, "Lord Orochimaru once told me, he is no longer who he was... solely in soul research, I believe Lord Orochimaru can certainly help Lord Naraku."
"Then let him come along too!"
Uehara Naraku nodded and spoke softly: "Perhaps this time you'll need to endure hundreds or even thousands of years of solitude, as that world doesn't really have much of a concept of time..."
Yakushi Kabuto is not wrong either...
Orochimaru is indeed useful, and he seems quite knowledgeable about souls. Anyway, for researchers like Orochimaru, Uehara Naraku doesn't mind having more.
The Bleach World is a new world...
The more hands the better, of course.
Moreover...
Not to mention...
Using Orochimaru as a scapegoat is quite convenient.
