I'll kill you after I finish this game!

An energy field powerful enough to shake the universe erupted in an instant, and the force that surged forth was so vast and terrifying.

Two pure white celestial serpents opened their mouths wide towards the sun on the other side, and then a crimson divine power, like that of a lotus flower from hell, burst forth from their mouths.

In the void, a grand chant emanating from Lei Zhe could be faintly heard.

"The sun and stars have been competing since ancient times, and this rivalry will never end (Die SonnetonetnachalterWeiseInBrudersphaerenWettgesang)."

“On the designated road, they galloped swiftly, like thunder (UndihrevorgeschriebneReiseVollendetsiemitDonnergang).”

"Its speed and speed far surpass all things in the world, and it seems to be trying to break through the eternal circle (UndschnellundbegreifichschnellInewigschnellemSphaerenlauf)."

Accompanied by sacred and solemn incantations, the crimson lotus light spewed from the giant serpent's mouth spread out with unimaginable power.

An overwhelming aura erupts, capable of causing any ordinary thing to tremble and collapse at the slightest touch.

The immense soul power within Lei Zhe was burning wildly, and this burning soul power made the energy field even more powerful.

"Transform into light, destroy the enemy in front, and burn itself out in a single strike (DaflammteinblitzendesVerheerenDemPfadevordesDonnerschlags)."

"It is something that no one before us knew, something that no one before us had reached, and it is the highest creation (Dakeinerdichergruendenmag,UndakkedeinenhohenWerke)."

Inside the giant serpent's body, within the Kirby stomach dimension possessed by Reiji, it had long been stained with boundless blood.

The energy throughout Lei Zhe's body is undergoing a qualitative change, transforming from gas to liquid, from liquid to solid, from solid to crystal, and the crystal is being repeatedly hammered, causing its mass to be compressed and collapsed even more frantically!

Spiritual energy or spiritual pressure are no longer enough to describe this new power that Reiji has integrated and compressed. This is the divine power born within Reiji's body!

"Our desire is the original majesty (SindherrlichwieamerstenTag)!"

"【Creation (Briah)】—Nirvana Silence—Finale (Eine Faust Finale)!!!"

The extreme compression of divine power has now inevitably led to its spread, causing time and even space to ripple outwards like waves, suddenly unleashing an incomparably magnificent and enormous impact.

In an instant, the speed of Raize's inner universe distorted with that of the outer universe, creating another world!

Space and time twisted into a ring under this divine will, manifesting the divine power of 'moment' which distorted the timeline, and the surrounding speed difference reached a height of more than ten thousand times.

With his own speed and even his devouring speed boosted to faster than light, Lei Zhe opened his abyssal maw with an incomparably joyful smile in his snake eyes, manifesting an attraction akin to that of a dark celestial body!

Devouring souls is no longer necessary; now is the time to elevate one's own divine power and even one's quality!

P.S.: My collection and subscriptions dropped quite a bit, which scared me so much that I immediately updated 10,000 words. I know many people are tired of Naruto, so I'll finish it right away. Please vote, please recommend, please even give me some criticism! If you get any, I'll continue updating like crazy...

Chapter Twelve: The Ultimate Creature Beyond the Food Chain

A month later.

In a star field 1600 light-years away from the ninja world, there exists only one planet in a star field completely shrouded in cosmic darkness.

All the surrounding planets had turned into barren, dead stars, but this one planet, the only one with life and ten times the size of Earth, was inhabited by a group of powerful beings.

They were called gods by weaker civilizations, and they themselves believed that they were the mother planet of the Otsutsuki clan, a race of gods.

At this moment, within a magnificent palace built in the sky on the Otsutsuki mother planet, a peerless figure with skin that was not as pale as other Otsutsuki, but rather crystal clear, smooth, and snow-white, sat quietly on the throne.

"Isn't it time for offering sacrifices? Shouldn't the other members of the clan who are living elsewhere have returned? Why haven't we seen any clan members returning one after another?"

The woman sitting on the throne, her face resting on one hand with her beautiful eyes closed, asked softly to the crowd below.

She had long, snow-white hair, two black and red horns that curled backwards, and a golden nine-tomoe Sharingan in the center of her fair forehead. Her graceful body was dressed in very luxurious robes.

She appears to be a fair-skinned, delicate woman, but if you don't look at her, you can't sense any presence from her at all; it's as if she doesn't exist at all.

At this moment, upon hearing the woman sitting on the throne, one of the men nodded slightly and said, "Chief, a thousand years have passed and the fruit should be ripe. However, some members of the tribe may return to the tribe very late because they found a suitable planet to plant the divine tree very late."

The universe is so vast, and the galaxies are incredibly abundant, but finding a suitable planet to plant a divine tree in this sandy expanse is a difficult task.

The Otsutsuki clan must return to their clan after a thousand years, while the Divine Tree takes at least a thousand years to grow, and this time may be extended if it encounters a planet with abundant life.

Recently, due to the overexploitation of life-bearing planets by our people, we can no longer find planets in the nearby star system where divine trees can be planted.

The Divine Tree takes a thousand years to grow, but it also takes the Otsutsuki clan a considerable amount of time to find it.

Besides the necessary offerings from the Hui people, each Ōtsutsuki (a type of religious leader) needs to eat the fruit of the sacred tree to become stronger, so the cultivation of the sacred tree has become somewhat troublesome in recent years.

"I don't care how late they find a suitable planet, as long as they deliver the required amount of divine tree fruit on time, everything will be fine. Otherwise..."

The beautiful woman on the throne slightly raised her eyelids, her pure white eyes sparkling as if an endless galaxy was flowing within them. An immense pressure caused the Otsutsuki clan members in the palace to kneel down with grim faces.

"Please rest assured, Chieftain, not a single fruit from the sacred tree will be missing from the offerings!"

The Otsutsuki clan members immediately assured them that there would be no mistakes, and the oppressive force that seemed to crush them slowly disappeared in the next instant.

"Something terrible has happened! Clan Chief, Elders! Something horrible has occurred!!"

Just then, the palace gates were pushed open, and a burly man walked in with a look of anxiety and panic.

"What kind of behavior is this in front of the clan chief! What's causing such a panic!?"

One of the elders frowned slightly and looked displeased, giving the impatient, hurried man a glare with his Byakugan.

An oppressive aura directed at the burly man forced him, whose face had turned red, to the ground.

Fortunately, the oppressive aura came and went quickly. Realizing his rudeness, the burly man immediately knelt down and bowed his head, saying, "Reporting to the clan leader and elders, nearly 60% of our clansmen have completely lost contact with us. According to intelligence sent back by an Otsutsuki clansman, they have encountered an attack by a technologically advanced civilization!"

boom!

Upon hearing this, even the woman on the throne, who had been calmly keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A massive micro-wave that shook the entire planet erupted, causing the Otsutsuki home planet to tremble violently.

All the Otsutsuki clan members who sensed this immense pressure changed their expressions and immediately knelt down towards the palace in the sky.

Their patriarch, their god, seems to be angry!

"...Chieftain, please, please calm down!"

The Otsutsuki elders inside the palace, who were suffering under this oppressive force, were in a terrible state, lying on the ground in a sorry state, begging their clan leader to calm down.

They naturally knew what the chieftain was angry about—no, what he was furious about.

Of all the Otsutsuki clan members present, this clan leader was the oldest, followed by the elders.

As the Otsutsuki clan traversed the galaxy, they naturally knew many cosmic matters, and the clan leader and other elders were well aware of the power of technological civilization.

Those who have grown into elders have not had a smooth journey to become who they are today.

Those weak races they looked down upon had also led them to the brink of destruction.

They had all clashed with technologically advanced civilizations, which also caused many of their Otsutsuki clan members to die.

What? You're saying this weft is more important than keeping the Otsutsuki alive?

Heh, this trick only works on those who are unfamiliar with it the first time. The Otsutsuki clan has ways to break this reincarnation technique.

Even people from other civilizations, even if they don't know the principle of the Karma seal, as long as they know the effect of this technique, some ruthless people who have been parasitized by the Otsutsuki will immediately end their own lives.

Their immortal wedges were considered utterly useless by Reiji back then; with their souls already pulled out, what kind of wedges could they possibly use?

The Otsutsuki are not truly immortal, but they are very difficult to kill. They have lost a large number of their people in battles with certain civilizations.

Besides their home planet, the Otsutsuki clan had many branch planets for their people to live on, but ten thousand years ago...

Their population dwindled rapidly, and many of their home planets were destroyed—a consequence of their battles with technological civilizations.

Although they won, they also paid a heavy price.

As the head of the Otsutsuki clan, Maya Otsutsuki had extremely cold and chilling eyes. She looked at the trembling Otsutsuki clansman who came to report and asked in a calm tone, "Did one of the clansmen fail to completely eliminate those earthworms when planting the Divine Tree?"

"Replying to the clan chief, with your and the elders' warnings, I don't think any Otsutsuki would dare to disobey this matter."

The Otsutsuki clansman who came to report was covered in cold sweat and responded respectfully to the clan chief on the throne.

The Otsutsuki clan has a rule that must be followed: after planting the sacred tree, all intelligent life forms in the nursery must be eliminated.

There was a previous instance where the Otsutsuki encountered a civilized planet and were prevented from planting the Divine Tree by the native inhabitants of that planet.

Although the Otsutsuki clan didn't take these inferior creatures seriously at the time, they suppressed them by unleashing a power that was like a natural disaster.

Among the native inhabitants of those planets were some formidable figures. They endured humiliation and served this Otsutsuki with great care, while simultaneously developing their technological capabilities at an incredibly rapid pace.

Originally, that planet was similar to Earth, with many different territories that were in a competitive and hostile relationship with each other.

However, when this Otsutsuki descended, because they had an incredibly powerful common enemy who wanted to destroy their planet in order to exploit its life force, all the natives were united together.

Listen to this, isn't it exactly the same as the situation in Naruto's Fourth Shinobi World War, where people were forced to unite because they had a common and powerful enemy?

But there were no ninjas on that planet; they were all tech-savvy guys.

How much power could be unleashed if all life forms on a planet were dedicated to accomplishing a single task?

For example, every country is researching new energy projects, investing a lot of money, talent, research equipment, and so on.

However, the same research progress and the same research mistakes could be happening in every country across the country.

In order to compete, they would even use their influence to sabotage other countries' research projects and hinder each other's progress.

But when a certain Otsutsuki (disaster) struck, they all faced the question of whether they could survive.

Therefore, in order to defeat the Otsutsuki clan, all life forms united their scattered consciousness and power, striving together for the common goal of revenge against the Otsutsuki clan.

A technological explosion occurred on that planet. The arrogance and oppression of the Otsutsuki clan caused all the technology on that planet to increase to an incredible level in a short period of time.

At this point, they prepared to take revenge on the Otsutsuki clan, and not just on the one Otsutsuki who had oppressed them, but on the entire Otsutsuki clan.

Their dagger-like smiles pleased the Ōtsutsuki, lowering his guard and causing him to rebel.

After capturing that Otsutsuki, they also learned about the Otsutsuki civilization.

Knowing that if the Ōtsutsuki they had captured did not return to the clan for a thousand years, other Ōtsutsuki would surely descend, they simply decided to go all the way and become enemies of the Ōtsutsuki civilization!

The remaining time will be spent on the battle between the technological civilization and the Otsutsuki cultivation civilization.

The clan leader didn't want to recall the extremely tragic situation the Otsutsuki had suffered. Although they had won, it was a victory that made them feel extremely humiliated!

After all, it was a disgrace to almost have their entire clan wiped out by a group of weak mortals.

But besides the shame, there was also fear—a deep fear of technological civilization. The Otsutsuki understood how much hatred their actions would provoke from some people.

If we think about it another way, if someone came to their home planet to grow trees and eat fruit, wouldn't the Otsutsuki hate such a person?

Hearing news of technological advancements again now filled everyone present with extreme solemnity and vigilance.

"Summon all military units, thoroughly investigate the intelligence, and eradicate that scoundrel who attacked my people!"

With an icy expression, Ōtsutsuki Maya gave the order, actually mobilizing the entire Ōtsutsuki military force.

Although she didn't know the specifics of this technological advancement, she was determined not to allow it to continue developing recklessly.
