The most courageous pirate hunter

This equals a virtuous cycle.

With this in mind, Hermes spent another year improving the Shadow Clone Technique, thus developing the ability to allocate power autonomously. If he wished, he could make these three thousand clones only take one-tenth of his power.

The result is that the combat power of the three thousand clones may not be very strong.

In short, the more power the clones take away, the stronger they become; the fewer they take away, the weaker they become.

"You may continue your cultivation!"

Hermes waved his hand.

The three thousand clones continued their cultivation. With more people, it naturally became noisier. It should be noted that these clones were all Hermes himself, meaning that each clone could think independently.

Even if it's all the same person, there are too many people. With so many people, problems are bound to arise, such as arguments and fights. In short, things quickly descend into chaos.

However, this is also a form of cultivation, a process of sublimation through battle.

Hermes ignored it, reclaimed some of his power, and then reached out and grabbed at the air. Kaguya and Madara Uchiha appeared in front of him, their eyes devoid of light, like walking corpses.

As for why Ban is in Hermes' hands.

That's because when Hermes was studying Kaguya, he discovered that Madara was inside Kaguya's body. Kaguya had used Madara as a vessel when she was resurrected.

Because Kaguya was defeated too quickly, she hadn't fully digested Madara yet.

Afterwards, Hermes used cloning techniques and successfully cloned Ban.

Not only Madara, but also Naruto, Sasuke, Might Guy, Kaguya, and many others were cloned by Hermes. The reason for doing this was that he wanted to cultivate the God Tree.

Since cultivating the Divine Tree requires members of the Otsutsuki clan, he would clone several more Kaguyas, using Madara Uchiha, Sasuke, and Naruto as nourishment.

I believe the chakra fruits that will grow then will be of even higher quality.

Hermes has now determined that the Chakra Fruit contains enormous energy and genetic information, and that members of the Otsutsuki clan will continuously evolve after consuming pills made from the fruits of the Divine Tree.

Hermes was very interested in the energy and genetic information of chakra.

I want to understand it thoroughly.

Let's see if we can transform the Chakra Fruit into pure energy for training and enhancing physical strength and Haki. The genetic information is also very valuable.

In some respects, Chakra Fruits and Devil Fruits are similar, both granting organisms extraordinary powers by altering their genetic chains, thus possessing significant research value.

This world has many powerful techniques.

Examples include Izanagi, Ame no Minaka, Bansho Ten'in, and the Qiudao Jewel.

After absorbing everyone's memories, Hermes was still only interested in the Eight Gates Formation and the Shadow Clone Technique; the other techniques were, frankly, useless to Hermes.

When he becomes strong enough, his pure power alone can destroy everything.

Moreover, he already possesses many abilities, and it would be a blessing if he could develop even one of them to its limit. There's no need to try to do too much at once.

However, these abilities are worth studying to broaden one's experience and knowledge.

After leaving the Book of Genesis and going outside, Hermes stood in outer space looking down at the vibrant planet below, and the next second he appeared on the ground.

"Come on!"

Hermes signaled to Ban to act.

As Madara summoned the Gedo Mazo, Kaguya willingly allowed herself to be devoured by it. Keep in mind that Kaguya possessed all the Tailed Beasts within her body, and she herself was an Otsutsuki.

All conditions are met.

Rumble~

The earth trembled rapidly, and a divine tree began to grow, its roots penetrating deep into the earth and spreading rapidly to all parts of the world, then began to absorb the planet's energy.

Once all the planet's energy has been absorbed, the planet will become a dead star!

To put it simply...

The chakra fruit that grows from the Divine Tree is actually the power of a life-bearing planet, and the evolution of the Otsutsuki is to devour life-bearing planets.

To put it bluntly, it's about plundering and devouring lives.

It's cruel and realistic.

Furthermore, the sacred tree may or may not bear fruit, and the quality also depends on the quality of the sacrificial Ōtsutsuki tree, so there will be differences between inferior and superior fruits.

Hermes roughly estimated that Kaguya should be considered a high-quality sacrifice.

After all, she had already eaten the Chakra Fruit and was considered to have evolved, but in order to be absolutely sure, Hermes cloned many Kaguyas.

If the quality isn't good enough, then you have to make up for it with quantity.

A wave.

The Book of Genesis appeared on the track. Opening a page, Kaguya clones began to appear, along with powerful ninjas such as Madara, Naruto, and Sasuke.

In an instant, tens of thousands of clones rushed into the roots of the divine tree like moths to a flame, and began to be absorbed by the divine tree as nutrients.

The divine tree, which had stopped growing, began to grow again, its top almost breaking through the atmosphere, and its branches continued to grow stronger, connecting heaven and earth, appearing from afar as a pillar supporting the sky.

This is much healthier than the divine tree that Kaguya and the others planted.

"what happened."

Far away place.

Yishi looked up in astonishment at the pillar connecting heaven and earth. From a distance, it looked like a huge mountain, but the more he looked at it, the more it seemed to resemble an enlarged version of the divine tree.

Take a closer look and feel it.

That aura was unmistakably that of the Divine Tree.

But what a joke.

Could a divine tree grow to such a size?

Could it be that someone from the Otsutsuki clan has arrived?

Yi Shi's expression was uncertain. If this really was a divine tree, then how powerful its fruit must be. If he ate it, his fate would definitely be in his own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

Suppressing his excitement, he vanished in an instant and quickly approached the Divine Tree. Regardless of whether other Otsutsuki had come to Earth, he was determined to have the fruit that the Divine Tree bore.

If this pace continues...

The divine tree doesn't need a thousand years to bear fruit; it might only take a year.

He could sense that the planet's energy was being rapidly absorbed by the divine tree at an unimaginable speed; a year could be a long time.

Chapter 558 [Otsutsuki Isshiki: I was terrified at the time]

"Huhuhu~"

Slow down your breathing.

Isshiki spared no expense in expending a large amount of chakra to reach the location of the Divine Tree. He peeked out from behind a rock and witnessed a scene he would never forget.

It wasn't someone from the Otsutsuki clan who came.

It is the creator god who destroyed the world.

Then Shiki's eyes widened even more. What he saw was a huge dragon-shaped book that was opened, like a portal, from which Kaguya emerged one after another.

There are also renowned figures in the ninja world.

what the hell!

Why are there so many Kaguyas?

Each one didn't seem like a clone created by ninjutsu, but rather a real Kaguya with flesh and blood.

Isn't this nonsense?

How did the creator god do it?

What's the deal with that book?

Ichishiki finally understood why the Divine Tree had grown so large. With so many Kaguya and powerful ninjas as fertilizer, how could it not grow big?

Uh ~

What happened to the creator god?

An ominous premonition filled Yushi's heart, because the figure in mid-air had disappeared.

"Interesting. I didn't expect there to be someone who slipped through the net. You seem to have very powerful energy within you."

"Is this a wedge?"

“A thousand years ago, apart from Kaguya and Isshiki Otsutsuki, there were no other Otsutsuki. It seems that you are Isshiki Otsutsuki.”

A cold, surprised voice rang in his ears, and Yi Shi's hair stood on end as he vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already more than ten meters away. He looked back in panic and realized that the Creator God had appeared in his previous position at some point.

Damn~

When to move behind yourself.

Hermes scanned Isshiki with interest. The reason he could tell Isshiki's identity was because of the black diamond-shaped marks on Isshiki's chin and palms, which were the unique Reincarnation Karma of the Otsutsuki clan.

Combined with Kaguya's memories, it's not hard to guess Isshiki's identity.
