Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 973: Kaguya Otsutsuki's Heavenly Palace
"Mother! Are you okay?"

Black Zetsu was also frightened by Raditz. He never expected that Raditz would be so scary and could transform.

Moreover, his power after the transformation was so exaggerated that even his mother was vulnerable.

"I'm fine, but the most important thing now is to absorb chakra!"

This sudden change not only caught Black Zetsu off guard, but also shocked the entire ninja world.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ancient being once known as the "Ancestor of Chakra", also looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Although she possessed an immortal body, she was still ruthlessly blown away by Raditz's planet-shaking attack, and she traveled through the vast universe until she was able to stabilize her body deep in the moon.

After all, she has become immortal, and as long as she has chakra, she can recover from any serious injury.

Kaguya flashed and instantly crossed the distance between the moon and the ninja world and returned to the ninja world.

She did not appear directly in front of Raditz, but chose a more covert approach. A head-on confrontation was not a wise move, especially when the opponent had such a powerful transformation ability.

The power in Kaguya Otsutsuki's body surged like a sleeping dragon suddenly awakening.

Her figure began to change amazingly. Beneath her skin, it seemed as if countless roots were stirring. Eventually, they broke out of her body and turned into thick tree trunks. They instantly penetrated into the ground beneath her feet, with deep roots and lush leaves, closely connected to the pulse of this planet.

This is not only a change of form, but also an awakening of power. Kaguya seems to have become a part of this world, and her will resonates with the entire world.

Those newly grown branches stretched out wildly like living things. They not only covered the vast ground, but also extended to the sky, blocking out the sun, moon and stars, creating a doomsday scene.

Each branch contains a powerful suction force, as if they have self-awareness, accurately capturing those ninjas in the Infinite Tsukuyomi dreams.

These innocent lives were ruthlessly entangled and wrapped, and eventually became "fruits" hanging on the giant trees.

"Only in this way can I have enough chakra to fight Raditz."

Kaguya muttered to herself, a cold smile appearing on her face.

She knew that these captured life forms would become the source of her power, and by absorbing their chakra, she would quickly recover her strength and even surpass her past strength.

"If the plan hadn't changed, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Kaguya sighed inwardly.

Her original plan was so perfect: after sacrificing the first move, she would use this time to quietly accumulate strength on this planet, with Hagoromo and Hamura as her pure-blooded descendants, to assist her in devouring the chakra fruit of this world and cultivating a loyal and powerful White Zetsu army.

A thousand years later, when the mother and her two sons join hands, they will have enough power to shake the entire universe, and they will be able to easily win even when facing powerful beings like Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki.

"I should have been their strongest supporter, but I became their enemy."

Kaguya's voice was low and sad, and there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness and pain in her eyes.

She recalled the time she spent with the children, when they were still innocent children, snuggling up to her and exploring this mysterious world together.

However, as the years passed, different beliefs and pursuits gradually arose in their hearts, and eventually went against her.

She couldn't understand why the child she had poured so much love and effort into would eventually choose to be her enemy. This betrayal was more painful to her than any invasion by an external enemy.

"It is this world and all the living beings on this planet that have distorted my children with their wishes and will." Kaguya's voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Their hearts were corrupted by those lowly lives..."

There was a mixture of anger and sadness in Kaguya's voice that was difficult to conceal.

She couldn't understand why her child would betray her, give up the powerful strength and endless life that was within her reach, and choose to protect those fragile and short lives.

In her world, strength is everything, the law of the jungle is an eternal law, and she is the maker of the law.

"Mother, you still have me!"

Black Jue said immediately.

"Well, the Ai family knows."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

Now is not the time to dwell on the past. She needs to concentrate all her energy to fight against the powerful enemy in front of her - Raditz.

Although her plans were thwarted by the betrayal of her children, she did not give up. She believed that as long as she could use the resources of this planet, she could still regroup and even become more powerful.

Kaguya began to mobilize all the power in her body. She felt that her chakra was as vast as the ocean, and every drop contained destructive power.

She commanded the huge branches and weaved them into a huge net, which was not only used to capture enemies, but also a huge energy collector.

She wants to make every bit of natural energy and every bit of life force on this planet become her nourishment and be used by her.

As the sacred tree slowly revived under the nourishment of the abundant natural energy of the ninja world, its branches once again bloomed with bright light, and the fruits containing endless chakra quietly matured.

These fruits are not only the crystallization of power, but also a bridge connecting the most primitive energy in the universe.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not hesitate for a moment. She opened her arms as if embracing the whole world and took the most dazzling chakra fruit into her body.

At that moment, it seemed as if millions of rays of light exploded in her body, and the power that had been dormant for thousands of years was completely awakened.

Her chakra surged like a river flowing into the sea. Not only did it recover to its former peak state, but under the impetus of this power, it broke through the original limits at an astonishing speed.

Kaguya Otsutsuki ignored Raditz who was wreaking havoc in the Ninja World, but instead swallowed the newly grown chakra fruit.

However, just as Kaguya Otsutsuki was immersed in the joy of regaining her new life, a threat that could not be ignored was quietly approaching.

Raditz, the giant beast that was wreaking havoc in the ninja world, was approaching her step by step with endless destructive power.

But Kaguya didn't feel flustered at all. On the contrary, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" As the words fell, her three eyes burst into dazzling light at the same time. It was her unique and powerful pupil technique - Tian Zhi Yu Zhong.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and Kaguya Otsutsuki and the giant ape-transformed Raditz were instantly drawn into a completely new world - an extremely cold place with ice and snow.
