Chapter 292: Black Zetsu's Shock Part 27
Chapter 292: Black Zetsu's Shock Part 27
Being hit by the Killing Ash Bone would cause one to lose hundreds or even thousands of years in an instant, leading to the annihilation of the body... As the lost time far exceeded what Feng Ye could rewind, even he would be in a tricky situation if struck by such an attack.
Death was probably not on the cards.
But recovery would take a long time.
"..."
Princess Kaguya glared at Feng Ye, her palm summoning another Killing Ash Bone, which she launched at him.
But this time, Feng Ye merely sidestepped, easily dodging the attack.
"This move is indeed a threat to me, but if you can't land a hit, it's meaningless," Feng Ye said calmly. "A large part of your body is still in my control. How do you plan to oppose me?"
Feng Ye stood there, his demeanor unruffled.
Although his Rinnegan and Sharingan powers were still merging, rendering them temporarily unusable and putting him at a disadvantage, Princess Kaguya's situation was far worse.
With a portion of the Ten-Tails' body under his control, she was also unable to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. One could say that Princess Kaguya's current state was far inferior to that of Six Paths Madara.
The unleashed Killing Ash Bone was threatening, but its slow speed made it easy for Feng Ye to evade, even without his eyesight. He could easily sense and avoid it.
To him, the speed of the bone was painfully sluggish, like a moth slowly fluttering in front of him, devoid of any real threat.
"Such power..."
"So, you..."
Princess Kaguya stared at Feng Ye, her expression not one of anger, but of wariness. Through her highest-level Byakugan, she could clearly see that Feng Ye's movement speed was completely mismatched with his chakra and physical body.
Moreover, the means by which Feng Ye prevented her from controlling the entire Ten-Tails was also extremely bizarre. She could clearly see that as soon as her spiritual power intruded into that area, it would dissipate.
This dissipation was not a result of being crushed.
Instead, it reverted to its uncondensed state.
Reverse time—
Accelerate time—
This was the ability to manipulate time!
And from Princess Kaguya's perspective, she could vaguely make out something hidden deep within Feng Ye's soul, shrouded in mist and emitting a faint golden glow. Although she couldn't quite make out what it was, it filled her with a sense of unease.
That power definitely did not originate from this world!
Feng Ye was an outsider, just like her!
Upon realizing this, Princess Kaguya's heart sank. She could tell that Feng Ye was not from the Otsutsuki clan, but he had absorbed a significant portion of her power, which meant he must have also set his sights on the God Tree's fruit!
"I never expected to resurrect under such circumstances..."
"Hagoromo... Hamura..."
Princess Kaguya's heart seethed with resentment.
If she had been in her prime, she wouldn't have been as passive as she was now in the face of Feng Ye.
But because of Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, who had sealed her away for so long for the sake of the meager humans of this world, she now had to face an outsider in such an unfavorable state. Fortunately, Feng Ye was not from the Otsutsuki clan; otherwise, the power of the God Tree's fruit would have been completely taken by now.
Sizzle!!
As Princess Kaguya gritted her teeth, she opened her left hand, and a pulling force attracted a large amount of black substance, which fell into the sleeve of her left hand.
"Mother, his eyes are still unusable. Can't you retrieve the power of the Ten-Tails?"
Black Zetsu's voice echoed from within her sleeve.
Princess Kaguya replied in a subdued tone, "He has another ability that prevents me from controlling the Ten-Tails. The power I can currently wield is very weak, and I can't inflict any substantial damage on him.
The power of this world should never have been able to prevent Kaguya from reclaiming the Ten-Tails under these circumstances. Moreover, Feng Ye's abilities had repeatedly caught Black Zetsu off guard, leading to a suspicion that was almost too incredible to believe.
Could Feng Ye be an outsider?!
"No, that's impossible. He's the son of a Konoha ninja. While I'm unclear on the specifics, all the historical trajectories align. He didn't appear out of thin air, and his power has grown gradually over time..."
Black Zetsu voiced his disbelief.
Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Princess Kaguya's eyes narrowed as she said, "Is that so? Then it's possible that he arrived here in an injured state and intends to steal my power to gradually revive himself."
Princess Kaguya's words sent shockwaves through Black Zetsu's being, especially as he saw Feng Ye standing not far away, a faint smile playing on his lips. A sense of foreboding filled him.
This is bad!
This is really bad!
If Feng Ye were a ninja of this world, Black Zetsu believed that everything would have ended with Princess Kaguya's resurrection. But if Feng Ye was an outsider, that changed everything!
No wonder!
No wonder I've never been able to understand Feng Ye's power!
Either Feng Ye had been disguising himself as a ninja of this world all along, gradually cultivating and growing stronger, or he truly didn't possess much power at the beginning and was a fragment of consciousness that had fallen into this world, much like how Princess Kaguya had created me.
Then, as a ninja, Feng Ye gradually recovered and restored himself to the point where he now stood, possessing such formidable power!
"Damn it..."
As this realization struck Black Zetsu, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration.
How could I not have known?!
He was completely oblivious to this possibility. Had he known earlier, he would have found a way to eradicate Feng Ye when his power was still weak. But now, it was too late...
Feng Ye had already attained such a level of power and had even begun to absorb Princess Kaguya's Ten-Tails power, aiming for the fruit of the God Tree.
"Mother, this won't do. He's absorbed the power of the Rinnegan, and his eyes are evolving to an even higher level. Once that evolution is complete, we may be doomed."
Black Zetsu's voice trembled with fear.
Princess Kaguya's eyes narrowed as she replied gravely, "I know..."
Sizzle!
She raised her left hand and fired another Killing Ash Bone.
However, this bone was not aimed directly at Feng Ye. Instead, it shot towards the empty space to her left, causing the void to split open and reveal a pitch-black fissure that devoured the bone.
Yellow Spring of Hell!
Sizzle!
The black spatial fissure opened up behind Feng Ye, and the Killing Ash Bone shot out from behind him, aiming to pierce his body from the back!
"This has to hit!"
Princess Kaguya's gaze fixed on that spot, her tension reaching its peak.
With only a fraction of her power, using the Killing Ash Bone in conjunction with the Yellow Spring of Hell was already pushing her to her limits. Abilities like the Heavenly Hand Strength were simply out of the question, so this attack had to land!
Otherwise...
She had no other means to deal with Feng Ye!
