Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 914 Trends
Virgil seemed unusually indifferent to White Zetsu's omnipresent surveillance.

In his opinion, this was nothing more than a weak attempt to spy on the strong, and it could not touch the slightest ripple in his heart.

And he has already mastered the method of finding Black Zetsu, but it is only a matter of time.

However, having a reliable contact person would undoubtedly make his actions more efficient and more secretive.

When Black Zetsu returned to the Akatsuki base, looking exhausted, a subtle sense of tension filled the air.

Uchiha Obito's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible disappointment.

He had originally hoped that Black Zetsu's "accident" would allow him to control the entire progress of the Moon Eye Project alone, but the reality was not as he wished.

However, as a far-sighted mastermind, he quickly adjusted his mindset and turned his attention to the information brought back by Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu, you're back."

Black Zetsu smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain countless secrets and calculations.

"Yes, I'm back, Madara-sama."

Nagato also looked quite concerned at this moment.

"Where's Virgil?"

He asked eagerly, his eyes flashing with curiosity and vigilance towards the unknown strong man.

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in his tone.

"He left, but I have managed to convince him to join our plan. However, Vergil has his own principles, and he has made it clear that he will not directly participate in the operation to capture the tailed beast."

After these words were spoken, Uchiha Obito and Nagato both looked surprised.

They knew that Virgil's strength was unfathomable, and if they could get his help, it would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the progress of the Moon Eye Project. However, Virgil's eccentricity made them feel a little uneasy.

"Tell me in detail!"

Uchiha Obito said immediately.

"Virgil, that guy, is indeed an elusive existence. His pursuit of power is almost to the point of obsession. But when I mentioned the Moon Eye Project and the permanent peace it could bring, he showed great interest. He agreed to join us, but on the condition that he would not directly participate in the capture of the tailed beasts. He believed that it was just a low-level use of power, far from the 'real waving' he pursued."

"What does Virgil want?"

Obito was the first to break the silence, a hint of urgency in his voice.

He knew very well that when cooperating with a strong person, he had to make clear the other party's demands, otherwise he would probably get into trouble.

Nagato, judging from his own experience, speculated, "Does Vergil also want permanent peace? A strong man like him might really have aspirations that transcend the average person."

Nagato frowned slightly.

He knew very well that Virgil's strength was unfathomable. If he could get his help, the success rate of the Moon Eye Project would undoubtedly increase greatly.

But Virgil's conditions also confused him. After all, within the Akatsuki organization, every member exists to achieve the Moon Eye Project, and any behavior that deviates from this goal is not allowed.

"What does Virgil want? Is the peace he seeks different from what we understand?"

"In this case, we must proceed with caution."

Nagato pondered for a moment, and found that he could not come up with an answer for the time being, so he said in a deep voice, "Although Vergil is not directly involved in our operations, his presence itself is a deterrent. We must ensure that he does not become an obstacle to us, and at the same time, we must also consider how to use his power."

Uchiha Obito was more cautious, as he was well aware of the changes that might be brought about by Vergil's joining.

Especially when he thought of Virgil's desire for power, an ominous premonition quietly rose in his heart.

He stared at Black Zetsu, suspicion glimmering in his eyes.

"Black Zetsu, what did you say to Vergil? Will he...want to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Obito's voice was low enough that only he and Black Zetsu could hear it, and every word revealed his deep worry about this possibility.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu raised a mysterious smile.

"Oh? Obito, you are indeed smart. But you don't need to worry too much."

Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth after hearing what Black Zetsu said.

"Are you crazy? Telling him about this, wouldn't that mean..."

Uchiha Obito felt that it might not be easy for him to compete with Vergil for the qualification of being the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

He knew that a man like Virgil would never be easily bound or used.

The cooperation between them is more like a delicate balancing game. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

His words revealed his inner struggle and anxiety.

He knew very well that Vergil's power was close to that of a god, and if he really mastered the power of the Ten-Tails, the consequences would be disastrous.

There was worry and determination in Obito's eyes. He knew very well that every step since he embarked on this path had been extremely difficult, and the current challenge was undoubtedly the most difficult one.

He questioned Black Zetsu in a low voice, his voice revealing an unquestionable seriousness: "Black Zetsu, what are you planning? We all know Vergil's character and ability. If he really becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the consequences will be disastrous."

The smile on Hei Zetsu's lips was still mysterious, as if everything was under his control.

"Obito, I understand your concerns, but it is this power that can be the key to our ultimate goal. However, please rest assured that I know what I am doing."

Black Zetsu's tone was calm and profound. He continued to explain, "Vergil's strength lies in his unparalleled swordsmanship and calm judgment, but it is not easy to truly control the power of the Ten-Tails. And I took advantage of this and revealed some information to him. My purpose was not to make him become a Jinchūriki directly, but to stimulate his curiosity and desire to explore, so as to buy us more time."

Upon hearing this, Obito frowned, obviously skeptical of Black Zetsu's explanation.

"Just to buy time? What about after that? What if he really falls in love with you?"

Black Zetsu smiled lightly and turned around, his eyes flashing cunningly in the candlelight.

"This is what I'm going to say next, Obito. If Vergil really makes a decision that we don't want to see, then we will have to take more radical measures."

"If that's the case, then we can use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive Madara-sama and let Madara-sama deal with Vergil. With Madara-sama joining us, even Vergil will have to reassess the situation."

Black Zetsu said without hesitation, although he didn't think Uchiha Madara could deal with Vergil.

Obito's face was gloomy and uncertain. He knew very well the strength of Uchiha Madara. He was an existence that even he was afraid of.
