Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 912 Black Zetsu's Deception

Black Zetsu looked at the mountain that was broken in two and the underground rock formations. It was obvious that Virgil was not as easy to deal with as the other ninjas.

"You can continue to try to run away, but I can't guarantee that the next blow won't kill you."

Virgil said with a smile.

"You misunderstood, Lord Virgil. I just wanted to talk to you in a different place."

Black Zetsu said quickly.

"Let's go then."

Virgil nodded, not really angry. Why would a strong person get angry at a weak person?
Wouldn't it be better to just chop it off with one knife?

After Black Zetsu realized that he couldn't escape even with the Mayfly Technique, he completely gave up. He was mainly worried that if he told the truth, Uchiha Obito would find out.

However, Black Zetsu was not that honest. On the way, he was also thinking about how to trick Virgil.

Uchiha Obito stood there without moving.

Unlike Black Zetsu who thought he would follow, Uchiha Obito didn't think that Black Zetsu was hiding anything from him.

Isn't it just the Moon Eye Project and Infinite Tsukuyomi? He knows everything about it, and he also knows how to implement it when the time comes.

In this case, Black Zetsu is of no use to him. Now that Vergil has come and is so powerful, he can just use Virgil's hand to get rid of Black Zetsu.

It wouldn’t matter even if Vergil didn’t attack Black Zetsu. Uchiha Obito didn’t care at all. He was more concerned about Nagato’s Rinnegan.

“Black Zetsu…”

Uchiha Obito looked at the direction where Black Zetsu left with a bit of gloating, and then he used Kamui to run away quickly, to avoid Vergil venting his anger on him if he couldn't get what he wanted, which would be bad for innocent people.

Black Zetsu led the way to the Valley of the End. After discovering that Uchiha Obito did not follow, Black Zetsu thought about it and knew what Uchiha Obito was thinking. He couldn't help but secretly call him a fool.

However, based on the amount of information Uchiha Obito knew and his brain, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing as crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Black Zetsu was speechless, but also relieved.

"Go ahead."

Vergil said as he stood on top of the statue of Hashirama Senju in the Valley of the End.

Black Zetsu stood on the solemn and ancient statue of Uchiha Madara, surrounded by an indescribable gloomy atmosphere, as if even the air was heavy.

Facing a strong man like Vergil, any lie could be exposed in an instant, but in order to protect the real purpose behind it - the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he had to carefully weave this web of lies.

"Master Vergil, the Moon Eye Project is actually a continuation of the ancient prophecy of the Otsutsuki clan."

Black Zetsu's voice was low and magnetic, trying to add a sense of mystery to his narration.

"As for the method of advancing the Samsara Eye, that is a secret that is not passed down in our clan."

Black Zetsu continued to weave lies, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

"It involves a deep understanding of the nature of life and death, as well as a powerful spiritual force. Only a strong person who truly masters this power can bring the power of the Rinnegan to its fullest extent and achieve the feat of infinite moon reading. And Madara-sama is such a strong person."

"Legend has it that when the power of the two most powerful eyes, the Rinnegan, reaches its ultimate fusion, it will open the portal to the divine realm and summon the sleeping ancestor, Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. And Madara-sama is the key figure in this prophecy."

Virgil narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a torch, as if he could penetrate Black Zetsu's disguise and look directly into the depths of his soul. However, his face still maintained that indifference and detachment, without showing any emotional fluctuations.

"go on."

He ordered briefly.

Black Zetsu's heart trembled, and he continued, "Lord Madara, as the strongest of the Uchiha clan, he desires not only power, but also endless control over the world. He believes that through the infinite moon reading, he can create a perfect world without pain and conflict. And the starting point of all this is to collect the power of the nine tailed beasts, merge them into the ten tails, and then open the Moon Eye to realize his ambition."

Having said that, Black Zetsu deliberately paused and observed Virgil's reaction.

However, Virgil still maintained that indifferent expression, as if he already knew all of this, or simply didn't care.

This made Black Zetsu secretly anxious, but he knew that he must not reveal any flaws at this time.

"However, there is a deeper secret hidden behind this."

Black Zetsu took a deep breath and decided to reveal even more shocking information.

"Otsutsuki Kaguya is more than just the originator of chakra. She is a god from another world, who came with a mission to change this world. But her plan was betrayed by her tribe and eventually sealed. The Moon Eye Project is actually a continuation of Kaguya's will, in order to allow her to come back and complete her unfinished business."

A strange light finally flashed in Virgil's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

"You mean, resurrecting Kaguya is to allow her to continue her 'career'?"

There was a hint of amusement in his tone, as if he were examining an interesting toy.

Black Zetsu nodded, secretly glad that he had bet on Virgil's interests.

"Yes, Lord Vergil. Princess Kaguya's power is far beyond what this world can imagine. Her resurrection will bring unprecedented changes. It will be an unprecedented opportunity for both the ninja world and for strong men like you."

Virgil chuckled, a laugh that contained both sarcasm and disdain.

"Opportunity? Perhaps. But for me, I value the fun of the process more. Moreover, reviving an ancient god just to satisfy her selfish desires is too boring."

Black Zetsu's heart tightened, he knew that his lies had begun to shake Vergil's patience.

But he had no way out and could only continue.

"Lord Virgil, you may not think this is your goal, but please believe that when you see Kaguya's power with your own eyes and feel that existence that transcends everything, you will change your mind."

Virgil did not respond immediately, but turned slowly and looked at the endless mountains in the distance, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he turned around, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Black Zetsu, your words are indeed very tempting. But I never rely on other people's plans when doing things. If Kaguya is really worthy of my resurrection, then I will achieve it in my own way."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu felt mixed emotions.

He knew that although his lie temporarily stabilized Virgil, it did not completely win his trust. However, this was enough, at least he bought himself a little breathing time.

"Master Virgil, whatever you decide, I will remain loyal to you."

Black Zetsu bowed his head respectfully, but was thinking about his next plan in his mind.
