Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 913 Virgil: Another fruit?

“Loyalty?” Virgil sneered, “In this world, so-called loyalty is nothing more than a toy in the hands of the strong. I am more interested in your true purpose and the true connection between the Samsara Eye and this world.”

Black Zetsu was panicked when he heard this. He realized that he might have touched Virgil's bottom line. This man's wisdom and strength were far beyond his imagination.

But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and continue to make up: "Master Virgil, you are right, but there are some things that even I cannot fully understand. The power of the Samsara Eye may be inextricably linked to the nature of this world, and all of this requires you to explore it yourself."

Virgil stared at Black Zetsu, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

He slowly walked to the edge of the statue of Hashirama Senju, then stepped into the air and approached Black Zetsu step by step. Each step was accompanied by an invisible pressure that made Black Zetsu feel suffocated.

"Black Zetsu, your lies sound beautiful, but they are meaningless to me. Now, tell me, what is your true value?"

Facing Virgil's questioning, Black Zetsu felt unprecedented despair. He knew that he had reached the end of his rope.

But at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind - perhaps he could use Virgil's desire for power to exchange for a glimmer of hope.

"Lord Virgil, I know a secret, a secret about the deepest and most powerful power in the ninja world. If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to tell you this secret."

Virgil paused, a playful smile on his face.

"Oh? What secret do you think is worth your life?"

Black Zetsu suppressed the fear in his heart and said slowly: "The secret about the Otsutsuki clan, this secret is enough to change the whole world, and even make you an existence beyond everything."

Black Zetsu took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound steady and seductive. "Lord Vergil, the Otsutsuki clan is a mysterious clan that has existed in this world since ancient times. They possess unimaginable power and wisdom, and are the true descendants of gods. According to legend, they travel between various planets in search of a certain 'fruit of the sacred tree', and our world is just one of their many testing grounds."

"Over the long years, the Otsutsuki clan clashed with the natives of this world, which eventually led to their defeat. But they did not give up completely, but left many tricks behind. The most important of these was the 'Rinnegan' that could grant people endless power. The true source of the Rinnegan was the legendary sacred tree, which absorbed the power of countless lives and eventually produced fruits containing the purest energy in the universe."

Black Zetsu paused here and observed Virgil's reaction. Virgil's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he was obviously very interested in this topic.

“However, this is just the beginning.”

Black Zetsu continued.

"Before leaving, the Otsutsuki clan arranged a huge plan to use the power of this world to reopen the passage to their home planet. The Moon Eye Project is part of this plan. By resurrecting Uchiha Madara and using his power to release the Infinite Moon Reading, the entire world will be shrouded in a dream, thereby collecting the chakra of all life and providing nutrients for the growth of the sacred tree again."

Virgil looked strange when he heard this.

There's no way, the sense of déjà vu is just too strong.

Isn't this what he did when he ate the fruit of the Anti-Kabbalah of the Demonic Tree?
But if Virgil wants to eat it again now, he has to exchange the fruit from the Lord God.

After hearing that there were similar things in this world, Virgil became very interested.

He doesn't think that he can only gain power from the Lord God. These worlds may be able to make his power even stronger!
The playful smile on Virgil's lips gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought.

He stared at Black Zetsu, as if he could see through his words the distant and mysterious past and the unparalleled glory of the Otsutsuki clan. "You said that the Otsutsuki clan traveled between the stars in search of the 'Sacred Tree Fruit'?"

Virgil's voice is deep and magnetic.

"And this world is just one of their many testing grounds?"

Black Zetsu nodded, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Vergil. The ambitions of the Otsutsuki clan go far beyond this. They desire to master the most powerful force in the universe and use it to conquer everything. The 'Sacred Tree Fruit' is the source of their power."

"Very good, Black Zetsu. I have seen your sincerity."

Vergil said while looking at Black Zetsu.

"However, you have to understand that even if you tell me this secret, I can't promise to let you go. Because in this world, there is no absolute trust."

Black Zetsu's heart trembled, but he knew that this was the best result he could achieve.

"I understand, Lord Virgil. I only ask that you give me a chance to prove my worth. After all, in this world, only living people can create more possibilities."

Virgil smiled slightly, and that smile showed both recognition of Black Zetsu and expectations for the future.

"Okay, Black Zetsu. I'll give you a chance. But remember, your life is in my hands now. If you dare to do anything to betray me, you will bear the consequences."

After saying that, Vergil turned and left, leaving Black Zetsu standing there alone with mixed feelings.

He knew that although he had saved his life temporarily, the road ahead would be more difficult.

"However, now that we have Virgil to help us, we should be able to resolve the issue more quickly. After Mother is resurrected, Virgil will not be able to defeat her at all!"

Black Zetsu began to think positively.

Not to mention, Vergil is so powerful that he can easily implement the plan to capture the tailed beast.

Judging from Virgil's appearance, he seems to be very interested in the fruit of the sacred tree.

Then he will use this reason to deceive Virgil and make him take action for the fruit of the sacred tree!
Vergil didn't care at all whether Black Zetsu would betray him or not, he wasn't the kind of person who would easily hand over someone he trusted.

Anyway, if Black Zetsu betrays him, he will just kill it. Virgil doesn't think Black Zetsu can cause any waves.

Virgil felt something was watching him, obviously sent by Black Zetsu.

White Zetsu followed Virgil carefully to ensure his whereabouts.
