"Hhh… hhh…"
Urashiki struggled to make a sound. The last faint trace of life in his Rinnegan stared fixedly at the black pill in Kai's hand.
Inside his eyes, there was both expectation and satisfaction.
At the same time, there was also a trace of worry!
On one hand, it was as if a voice in his mind was saying:
Eat it.
Hurry up and eat it.
Let it burst you to death, you monster!
On the other hand, another voice was saying:
No!
Impossible!
Could his bloodline truly be nobler than mine?
Could I really be the lower-class one among the Ōtsutsuki clan?
Seeing this, the teasing smile on Kai's face grew even stronger.
He pinched the Chakra Essence Pill between two fingers and waved it in front of Urashiki.
Inside the pill, the black light that seemed to flow like stars was even clearly reflected in Urashiki's pupils.
"Judging from your expression… it seems…"
Kai deliberately dragged out his voice a little, as if suddenly realizing something.
"You're starting to hope I don't eat it again?"
"So tell me, should I eat this thing or not?"
Urashiki widened his eyes and nodded desperately, wanting Kai to eat it!
Right now, he could only gamble!
Gamble that Kai would be stuffed until his body exploded by this pill condensed from ninety percent of his essence!
Unfortunately, his body was so dried up that even swallowing saliva was difficult. His entire head could only droop there without the slightest vitality.
In the end, only a few mouthfuls of white foam leaked from his mouth.
He was furious.
"I've always been considerate enough to undress others. Since you have a request, then—"
Kai grinned, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious.
"Then—I'll grant your wish."
Before his voice had even fallen, he directly raised his wrist and stuffed the pill emitting a faint black glow into his mouth.
Crunch.
Crunch.
He even chewed hard twice, crisp cracking sounds ringing out from his mouth!
Crunchy.
Like fried cicada larvae!
Very fragrant!
"Second Brother!"
Seeing this scene, future Sasuke could no longer suppress the worry in his heart and hurriedly cried out in shock.
Could a mortal eat something this strange, obtained from the Ōtsutsuki clan?
He did not know, so safety should clearly come first.
But Kai had simply eaten it directly, decisively, without any inspection at all!
Who knew what would happen afterward?
Would he be possessed?
Controlled?
If Sasuke remembered correctly, the Ōtsutsuki clan was very good at possessing and mentally controlling others!
Unfortunately, by the time he spoke, it was already too late.
Kai even smiled back at him.
Gulp.
One pill swallowed into the belly—
My fate belongs to me, not the heavens!
Boom!
In the next second, an extremely violent chakra torrent erupted from Kai's body!
It exceeded everyone's understanding!
It exploded outward with a roar!
Like magma that had been suppressed for tens of millions of years suddenly bursting apart!
Boom, boom, boom!
Very quickly, Kai's entire body began emitting a dazzling deep-blue chakra glow!
Mixed within it were yellow, white, gold, red, and more, all blending together.
His hair also stood up strand by strand, sticking straight upward as if he had been struck by lightning!
The intensity of his aura was so great that it directly lifted the shrubs and grass that had just grown beneath his feet—
All of it was blown away.
The moist, black scorched earth beneath was faintly revealed.
[Ding! Chakra Essence Pill consumed. Temporary chakra quantity increased by 100%! Current chakra: 8,000,000+!]
[Permanent attribute increase: Reaction Speed +20%!]
"As expected, it doubled… eight million chakra…"
Seeing the first part, Kai took a deep breath. This kind of chakra doubling improved him far more than it would anyone else!
After all, his chakra base was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary people!
Although it was temporary, it still allowed him to experience a wondrous feeling, as if he could control everything with a mere movement of his hand.
Putting everything else aside, just Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm—
He felt he could use that one move alone to destroy the entire Konoha Village!
This was the benefit of an enormous chakra quantity. Quantity had caused qualitative change.
If Pain used a super-sized Planetary Devastation at this moment, for Kai, it would only take one slap to deal with it.
And his entire body radiated a comfortable, pleasant feeling!
Not only did his body feel no swelling at all, it instead felt like…
A rusty old object had been coated with top-grade lubricant!
Very smooth!
Buzz!
The change was not limited to chakra!
His speed was also changing.
The world slowed slightly in his eyes. Even Urashiki viciously lifting his eyelid could be sensed with perfect clarity.
And the instant a thought rose in his mind, his body had already made the most perfect instinctive response!
No delay.
True body-moves-with-thought!
Wait!
This was!!!
Zero-frame reaction?!
Kai suddenly froze.
He stared blankly at his hands and could not help wanting to cover his face and laugh again!
Amazing!
Too amazing!
Transcendent zero-frame reaction paired with Flying Thunder God and Dual Kamui spatial transfer!
This was simply unsolvable!
But very quickly, his brows furrowed again, and he looked somewhat dissatisfied.
"But wasn't it supposed to permanently increase life? Why did it only add a little speed?"
Zero-frame reaction was great!
Speed was fast!
But he did not necessarily want to be a fast man!
He wanted to be a long man!
The longest man!
The man with the longest lifespan!
And while he was complaining, Urashiki on the ground had already gone completely stupid.
His shriveled eyeballs suddenly widened violently, making it look as if they might fall out in the next second.
Looking at Kai, whose aura had surged explosively, the expectation in his eyes gradually sank.
His worldview collapsed completely.
"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a human withstand my power?"
"Even someone from my own clan would need a long time to digest this power perfectly."
"But he's just a human. On what grounds did he completely digest this power in just a few words?"
He found it utterly absurd.
Even somewhat despairing!
The pill refined by squeezing him dry had not only failed to burst the other party to death—
It had made the other party even stronger!
Where was he supposed to complain about this?
Or was it—
This human in front of him was not actually an ant in his eyes, but a hidden high-level member of the Ōtsutsuki clan?
Future Sasuke's feeling was even more direct.
With the help of the Rinnegan and Sharingan, he saw it very clearly!
If Kai's chakra before had been like compressing the amount of chakra possessed by the entire Uchiha clan…
Then now, it was like compressing the chakra quantity of the entire Konoha Village!
Terrifying beyond belief!
And both its purity and terrifying total amount were far beyond Sasuke even at his peak!
Only when the old man Six Paths had bestowed power upon him and revived him, and when he later absorbed the power of eight tailed beasts, had he been close!
But…
That state of his had only happened once!
And it had relied on the help of many tailed beasts.
His second brother, however, had merely eaten one black little ball and surged to this level!
Could it be—
That black chakra ball was truly that miraculous?
Thinking this, he subconsciously looked at the dried-up, skeletal Ōtsutsuki on the ground.
A faint impulse rose in his heart.
Should he try it after going back?
