Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 588 Transformation into a Motorcycle

Just before he spoke, a strange panel, perceptible only to him, silently unfolded deep within Li Zhongren's consciousness.

In an instant, everything around them—the falling raindrops, the sleeping breaths of the Nagato family in the distance, the chakra flowing in Madara Uchiha's eyes, and even the subtle wriggling of Black Zetsu—all froze in absolute stillness.

Time seemed to freeze, but his mind was racing at an unprecedented speed.

He "looked" at the luck bars representing Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu on the panel and began a frantic simulation of lies.

'I am the goddess of the Rabbit.'

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the two luck bars on the panel dimmed to almost extinguished, and a huge, despairing "Insufficient" sign appeared behind them.

Sure enough, even the combined fortunes of these two were far from enough to support such a shocking lie involving the Mother of Creation.

'I am the Sage of Six Paths.'

The luck bar is fluctuating wildly and still shows "severely insufficient".

……

Li Zhongren's thinking went through several deductions and trials in the stagnant space-time. In the end, a lie that could both maximize the extraction of luck and leave enough room for ambiguity and interpretation was selected.

'I am the third son of the goddess of the rabbit.'

On the panel, the luck bars representing Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu suddenly dropped, but did not reach the bottom. Instead, they stabilized at a critical value, and the "Feasible" mark appeared behind them.

"That's it!"

Li Zhongren made up his mind.

This is a well-thought-out lie.

Having lived for thousands of years without dying, Black Zetsu has seen too much. No matter what strange lies he tells, Black Zetsu will not immediately confirm them, but he will not immediately deny them either, especially after he wrote the words "Eye of the Moon".

This would mean he would use at least half, or even more, of his luck. After all, if we're talking about the chosen one, Black Zetsu is the one who will have the last laugh. He perfectly completed his mission, but the Goddess of the Rabbit was too weak and wasted Black Zetsu's efforts.

Therefore, only lies related to the Goddess of the Rabbit would be something that Black Zetsu would definitely reject. As an extension of the Goddess of the Rabbit's will, he knew all too well that the Goddess of the Rabbit could not possibly have a third son, or rather, even if she did, it would be Black Zetsu himself, not anyone else.

This is no longer a lie, but blasphemy, and Black Zetsu would absolutely deny it!

As for Uchiha Madara, his greatest characteristic as a person is his deep experience. Therefore, he can tell whether someone is lying just by looking at his eyes. So, as long as someone lies, his intuition will deny the lie, regardless of any so-called reasoning.

The panel shut down silently, and the frozen time instantly resumed its flow.

Li Zhongren raised his head, a peaceful smile on his face, and uttered the lie that had been refined countless times in the temple of thought:

“You may call me ‘the third son of the goddess of the rabbit, who was left behind in the human world’.”

[The lie is true!]

[Absorbing the target's luck... Successfully absorbed!]

[Based on the core of the lie, "the bloodline of the Goddess of the Rabbit," corresponding abilities are beginning to form...]

[Ability generated: "Goddess's Bone"!]

An indescribable force instantly coursed through Li Zhongren's entire body!

It's not a surge of chakra, but a deeper qualitative change and awakening originating from the bones themselves!
His consciousness immediately sank into his body to "check".

The bones throughout the body seemed to have transformed from fossils that had been dormant for thousands of years into living chalcedony, warm, tough, and containing unimaginable terrifying power.

He could clearly sense that he could control every inch of his bones at will—grow, deform, peel, and reassemble!
The hardness of the bones surpasses that of any known material, granting them absolute defense.

Even more terrifying is that an attribute of "annihilation" is deeply imprinted in every bone cell, a destructive force that touches the level of rules.

His soul seemed to have found its final resting place, perfectly merging with this newborn skeleton.

A realization dawned on him: as long as there was one bone left, his soul would not perish, and he could use it as a foundation to draw energy and reshape his physical body!

This is true immortality!

At the same time, a vast amount of combat experience and data surged into the depths of his consciousness like an instinct. These were the combat memories of the Otsutsuki clan, imprinted in his blood (bones), spanning countless star seas, which transformed into the most advanced Bone Ninja Taijutsu.

What's even more amazing is that he felt every bone in his body had become a spatial coordinate, and he could travel between them whenever he wanted!

All of this may seem like a long story, but it actually happens the instant the lie is established.

Almost as soon as Li Zhongren finished speaking, Madara Uchiha's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!
Although he couldn't completely believe it, the sudden surge of aura emanating from the other person—different from chakra yet incredibly noble, carrying a faint sense of pressure—along with those eyes that were immune to genjutsu and excessively calm, made him more inclined to believe it was true!
"How can it be!!!"

While Madara Uchiha was shocked, Black Zetsu was also shaken. As an extension of the goddess's will, it sensed the power in Li Zhongren at that moment—it was its mother's power, there was no mistake.

"But how is this possible?!"

Beyond surprise, Black Zetsu felt more of an offensive rage!
How could the goddess of the Rabbit be defiled by a boy of unknown origin!

"Madara-sama, him"

Black Zetsu was about to say something.

But Madara Uchiha interrupted him directly. He didn't care who the other party was; anyone who interfered with his Eye of the Moon plan had to die!

He clapped his hands together, without forming any hand seals, and a massive amount of chakra erupted!
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

A raging inferno instantly formed, sweeping towards Li Zhongren under the corridor like a raging torrent! Its scale and power far exceeded that of an ordinary ninja, enough to instantly evaporate a small lake! However, this power cleverly avoided the unconscious family of three not far away, and allowed White Zetsu to move them to a more distant place.

Li Zhongren stood still, without even moving.

With a single thought, the bones within the body respond instantly!

Snap, snap——!
A huge, thick, and pure white bone shield instantly burst forth from the ground in front of him. The shield surface was as smooth as a mirror, yet it carried a certain absolute "rejection" power!
boom! ! !
The scorching sea of ​​fire crashed violently against the bone shield, producing a deafening roar. However, the flames, hot enough to melt gold and iron, couldn't leave even the slightest scorch mark on the bone shield! All the impact and heat were perfectly absorbed and insulated by the seemingly thin bones!
"what?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes. His Fire Release technique had been blocked so easily?
The next moment, Li Zhongren's figure vanished like a ghost.

Madara Uchiha was incredibly experienced in combat, and almost instinctively, he swung his arm backward to block!
clang--!
A crisp metallic clang rang out! Li Zhongren appeared beside Madara, his right arm covered by a layer of ferocious, sharp bone armor, with a sharp bone blade extending from his elbow, slashing fiercely at the chakra armor that Madara had hastily gathered on his arm!
Sparks fly!

Ban was forced back half a step by the immense force, his eyes filled with even greater shock.

Such immense power! Such incredible speed! And the aura emanating from that bone blade made him instinctively feel extreme danger!
"Storm Release: Light Fang!"

Ban retreated swiftly, simultaneously spitting out an incredibly sharp purple laser beam!

Li Zhongren neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his left hand with his five fingers spread open.

Puff puff puff puff——!
Five finger bones shot out from his fingertips like bullets, striking the Storm Release laser with pinpoint accuracy! The finger bones, imbued with the attribute of "annihilation," collided with the high-energy laser, silently and completely neutralizing and annihilating it!

At the same time, the bone blade on Li Zhongren's right arm changed shape again, transforming into countless sharp bone spikes that rained down on Uchiha Madara like a storm! Each strike contained exquisite taijutsu from the Otsutsuki combat database and deadly annihilation power!
Madara Uchiha used the Sharingan's perception to its fullest extent, dodging and blocking at lightning speed in the confined space, with dull thuds echoing as his fists and feet collided.

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became. His opponent's martial arts were completely unorthodox, yet they were perfectly natural. Every move was extremely cunning and ruthless, as if they had been tempered by countless battles! Those strange bones could change shape at any time, combining offense and defense, making them incredibly difficult to deal with!

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Ban clapped his hands, and the ground shook violently. Countless thick trees burst out of the soil, trying to entangle and bind Li Zhongren.

Li Zhongren snorted coldly, spun around, and countless bone spikes shot out from his body!

When the bone spikes, imbued with annihilation power, came into contact with the wildly growing trees, the trees withered, crumbled, and turned to ashes as if they had been thrown into ice and snow with strong acid! Wood Release techniques couldn't even get close!
"This power..."

Madara Uchiha's face darkened completely.

He realized that conventional ninjutsu and taijutsu would probably be insufficient to subdue this strange "child of the goddess" in a short time. Moreover, the opponent's power attribute seemed to be extremely effective against the vibrant Wood Release.

Most importantly, the Rinnegan is still in that unconscious brat over there; we can't afford to lose it! We must finish this quickly!

"There's no other way..."

Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a massive blue chakra shot into the sky!

"Susanoh!"

A massive skeletal skeleton instantly took shape, then rapidly covered with veins and flesh, donning a heavy Tengu armor! The fourth form of Susanoo wielded two swords, radiating a suffocating pressure; its mere existence caused the surrounding ground to crack and sink!
"You've got reason to be proud that you forced me to use this!"

Madara Uchiha's voice was icy cold from within Susanoo.

Facing this towering giant, Li Zhongren revealed an excited smile.

"Perfect, let's test the power of this new body!"

He held nothing back and unleashed the full power of the "Goddess Bone"!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Amidst the sickening cracking of bones, Li Zhongren's body began to expand wildly! Countless pure white bones, exuding an aura of destruction, surged out of his body, assembling and forming!
In the blink of an eye, a colossal creature, no less powerful than Susanoo, composed entirely of hideous skeletons, rose from the ground! This skeletal giant was clad in bone spike armor, wielded two enormous, twisted bone blades that seemed capable of tearing through space, and had eerie blue soul flames burning in its empty eye sockets!

"What's this?!"

Madara Uchiha was utterly shocked. In all his years of dominating the ninja world, this was the first time he had ever seen a ninjutsu of this form. The only one he could match was probably the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure, but their power, in his eyes, was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The skeletal giant let out a silent roar, wielding its massive bone blade with an aura of annihilation, and slashed fiercely at Susanoo!
Boom——! ! !
The collision of the two colossal objects produced an earth-shattering roar!
The shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, completely leveling the ruins of distant houses!

The twin swords of Susanoo clashed violently with the bone blades of the skeletal giant, each collision unleashing terrifying energy turbulence!

However, with each clash, a portion of Susanoo's weapons and armor would be eroded by that annihilation power. Although it could be quickly repaired with its massive chakra, Madara felt immense pressure as the power of annihilation diminished.

"Damn it!"

Madara Uchiha roared, and Susanoo formed hand seals on all four arms at the same time.

"Yasaka no Magatama!"

The enormous magatama, carrying destructive power, shot towards the skeletal giant.

The skeletal giant neither dodged nor evaded; its ribs suddenly opened, forming a massive vortex of bone! The powerful magatama that crashed into the vortex were like mud oxen entering the sea, completely ground and absorbed by the spinning bones containing annihilation power!
"How can it be!?"

Madara Uchiha's Sharingan fluctuated violently due to extreme shock, even absorbing the Yasaka Magatama?!
In the instant he lost his focus, the skeletal giant seized the opening!

A giant bone claw suddenly broke through the Susanoo's defenses, its five fingers like knives, and fiercely grabbed at Uchiha Madara at the core of Susanoo!
laugh--!
The fingertip, imbued with the power of the All-Killing Ash Bones, easily pierced through Susanoo's last defense and touched Madara Uchiha's true form!

"Ugh—!"

Madara Uchiha let out a painful groan. He watched in horror as his arm rapidly disintegrated and turned to ashes from the point of contact! And this disintegration was spreading at an alarming rate! Any attempt to block it with chakra was futile!
"Do not--!!!"

He let out a furious roar of resentment, trying to break free, but the annihilating power was like a persistent carbuncle, impossible to stop!

In just a few breaths, Madara Uchiha, who was renowned throughout the ninja world, along with his massive Susanoo, was completely reduced to ashes by this absolute annihilation power, dissipating into the air after the rain.
The skeletal giant slowly dissipated, transforming back into Li Zhongren's appearance and landing on the ground. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were bright. This was the first time he had fully unleashed this power, which had consumed a lot of energy, but the effect was astonishing.

His gaze swept across the edge of the battlefield, where only a small patch of black traces rapidly seeped into the ground. Black Zetsu, seeing the situation was dire, had decisively abandoned Madara when Susanoo appeared and used his unique escape ability to slip away.

"Running so fast."

Li Zhongren pursed his lips, not caring at all. He walked over to Nagato, who was still asleep in the illusion, and squatted down.

Extending his finger, the fingertip became incredibly sharp, gleaming with a faint bone-like light.

The vast combat database in his mind naturally contained top-level anatomical and medical knowledge.

With gentle and precise movements, almost without bleeding, Li Zhongren carefully removed Nagato's eyes, which belonged to Uchiha Madara and contained the power of the Rinnegan, and replaced them with his own. As for the Rinnegan, he inserted it into his own eye sockets.
The moment the Rinnegan was installed in his eye socket, Li Zhongren felt an extreme fusion and vibration.

The Rinnegan, like a fish that has been dried up for a long time, began to frantically absorb the power from his bones, while the bones also frantically produced energy through the bone marrow for the Rinnegan to absorb. The bones, lacking power, frantically absorbed the natural chakra between heaven and earth.
Everything naturally achieved a certain balance.
Li Zhongren opened his eyes, not knowing how much time had passed.
His eyes had transformed into rings of Rinnegan, and with them came memories stored within them, much like memories stored in his bones.

That is, the various secret techniques that Nagato used in the manga, including even the so-called Wheel of Death Border Grave Secret Technique that only Madara Uchiha could use.
This is a really lucrative opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zhongren couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Sure enough, it was worth the gamble; a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle.

Even if he were to return to the real world, he would be a powerful figure, since the combination of the Rinnegan and Sage Bone is no less powerful than the combination of the Rinnegan and Sage Flesh, and might even be stronger.
