Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 252 Orochimaru's Alchemy

At this moment, Orochimaru is in his underground laboratory.

Various test tubes and scrolls were placed on the lab bench, and whiteboards covered with experimental data were hung on the walls.

He stood before a huge circular magic circle on the ground, which was composed of countless intricate geometric shapes and mysterious runes, its edges shimmering with a faint glow.

This is a new system that Orochimaru acquired in the previous world.

He clasped his hands together and pressed them against the edge of the magic circle. A blue light, like electricity, lit up along the lines, and the entire magic circle began to operate.

"Equivalent exchange, the most fundamental truth of this world." A hint of excitement flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. "Energy cannot be created out of thin air, nor can it disappear out of thin air; it can only change form."

He began to mobilize the chakra within his body, and blue energy flowed into the magic circle along his arm.

Energy flows along a specific trajectory within the magic circle, gradually changing.

Chakra transforms into magic power, magic power transforms into internal energy, and internal energy transforms back into chakra.

The three energies circulate continuously within the alchemy array, like a perpetual motion machine.

Orochimaru walked to the lab table and opened a thick notebook.

This is research material he brought back from the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, which records a detailed theory about equivalent exchange.

"Interesting." He flipped through his notebook. "The transformation of energy forms is surprisingly stable."

It's filled with various records and charts, all of which represent the research findings from this period.

Orochimaru has been searching for connections between different energy forms, trying to find the underlying patterns.

"Human transmutation or equivalent exchange," he murmured to himself, "these are just different paths to the truth."

Orochimaru could sense that he was touching upon some deeper truth.

He recalled everything he had seen in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist. That white figure who called himself Truth.

He clearly remembered the scene in that white space, where the little man in the bottle sat there, believing he held the truth in his grasp.

They even delusionally believe they are the truth.

"A frog in a well," Orochimaru sneered.

In his view, truth is never something concrete. It is the Way, the law, the principle that pervades all things.

Alchemy is merely the fundamental law of that world. Just as chakra is the foundation of the ninja world, internal energy is the basis of the martial arts world.

But these are not the truths, they are just manifestations of the truth in different worlds.

"However," Orochimaru put down his notebook, his gaze fixed on a peculiar diagram, "their final ritual was quite interesting."

That was the final goal of the little man in the bottle, the final ritual for becoming a god in that world.

This alchemical array is far more complex in design than ordinary ones.

"Use the souls of half a million people as a price to open the door to truth," Orochimaru stared at the annotation on the blueprint.

"It's almost impossible to carry out a sacrificial ceremony of this scale in the current ninja world." Orochimaru stopped writing and glanced at the calculation results: "The ninja world is vast and sparsely populated, so it's simply unrealistic to sacrifice 500,000 people."

Moreover, the ninja world is too peaceful these days. Once they discover that he has such intentions, they will definitely take action against him.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: "What if we used a large amount of chakra to replace the soul?"

Orochimaru immediately sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and began writing frantically.

"The essence of alchemy is energy conversion. People in that world do not have an energy system in their bodies, so they can only use soul energy."

Therefore, theoretically, as long as there is enough energy, chakra can completely replace soul energy.

He quickly calculated the conversion ratios between different types of energy. Soon, the first page was filled with densely packed formulas.

"Based on this ratio," Orochimaru's finger moved across the numbers, "it would require at least the equivalent of tens of thousands of ninja's chakra."

"But where are we going to find so much chakra..."

"Tailed Beasts are possible," Orochimaru's voice suddenly stopped, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, "but unfortunately they've all been taken by that old man, Madara Uchiha."

Orochimaru stood in the laboratory, his fingers lightly tapping on the worktable.

As he pondered how to acquire enough chakra, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Urgent Mission: Invaders]

Mission Objective: Eliminate the invaders from another world.

[Task Reward: None]

[Time Limit: None]

[Note: The intruder's location is locked every five hours.]

This was also a choice that Uchiha Mine had no other choice, as the opponent also possessed the power of the Main God Space, making it impossible to continuously lock onto their location.

Even the God Watch we obtained earlier could only provide temporary location information.

"Invaders from other worlds?" Orochimaru's eyes flashed with interest. "Interesting."

Orochimaru closed his research notes, a smile playing on his lips: "Looks like I can stretch my legs a bit."

Meanwhile, the people in the Land of Iron also received a mission.

"You received it too?" Fugaku frowned as he looked at the others.

Minato, A, and Onoki all nodded. Yagura leaned against the wall with his arms crossed: "It seems there are more than two intruders."

"It seems we need to act quickly."

Minato took a step forward, and his kunai emitted a purple light before tracing an arc in the air.

Ripples spread through the space, and a portal slowly opened.

Without further ado, everyone got to work. Time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay.

………………

Meanwhile, Konoha Village

Allen hovered above Konoha Village, looking down at the city.

Her short silver hair swayed slightly in the air, and the hem of her black kimono swayed gently.

"Is this Konoha Village? The style is quite different from Seireitei." Allen slowly raised his right hand. "It would be better if you greet them first."

He took a deep breath and drew an arc in front of him with his right hand.

A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air.

"O Ruler," Allen began to chant, "Master of thunder and storm, thunder that tears the heavens, lightning that sweeps away the mortal world."

As the incantation was chanted, the sky rapidly darkened. Thick, dark clouds spread outwards from Allen's center, with flashes of lightning appearing and disappearing within the clouds.

"In my name, I unleash divine punishment, crushing the filth and purifying the world."

The thunder echoed through the clouds, growing louder and louder. The Konoha ninjas looked up, their faces showing surprise and uncertainty.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"What happened?"

"The weather suddenly changed like this."

Inside the Hokage Building, Hashirama Senju was processing documents. Suddenly, he looked up sharply, his gaze grave: "This energy...!"

"Not good!" Hashirama flashed and instantly appeared on the roof of the Hokage Building.

At this moment, Allen's chanting reached its final stage.

"Hado #88, Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with a Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!"

With both hands aimed at Konoha, in an instant, a bolt of lightning hundreds of meters thick descended from the sky.

The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire Leaf Village as if it were daytime, and wherever the lightning bolt passed, the air was ionized, emitting a piercing explosion.

At this moment, Hashirama looked at the lightning pillar descending from the sky with a solemn expression.

With just one glance at the pillar of lightning, he knew that this attack could almost level the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hashirama took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and his chakra surged wildly, orange eyeshadow appearing around his eyes.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Super Tree World Advent!"

Hashirama quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a burst of chakra.

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently, and countless giant trees rose from the ground. These trees grew rapidly, quickly covering the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"Not enough!" Hashirama's hand seals moved even faster.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

All the trees quickly gathered together, weaving a giant shield above Konoha Village.

A bluish light emerged from the surface of the trees, a strange phenomenon indicating that natural energy was being forcibly extracted.

The surrounding vegetation withered rapidly, and energy in the air was frantically extracted and injected into this huge wooden shield.

The moment the shield took shape, the lightning bolt crashed down.

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening explosion, the lightning bolt collided with the wooden shield. Blinding flashes of electricity scattered in all directions, turning half the sky a dazzling blue.

Countless fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the wooden shield. The power of the lightning was too violent; the surface of the tree began to char, and in some places, it even vaporized.

"Block it for me!" Hashirama roared, his chakra surging wildly and pouring into the shield.

The lightning began to be gradually deflected, and Hashirama seized the opportunity, pushing his hands sharply to the side.

The patterns on the surface of the wooden shield suddenly lit up, and a huge counterforce erupted.

The lightning bolt was finally deflected and blasted towards the distant mountains.

"Boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the distant mountains were instantly vaporized by the lightning bolts.

The mountains within a radius of dozens of miles evaporated into thin air, leaving only a huge, arc-shaped crater.

"This power." Hashirama looked up at Eren, his eyes serious.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, the entire Hidden Leaf Village would probably have suffered a severe blow.

Hashirama had never seen this kind of attack before. It was neither ninjutsu nor sage art.

The fluctuations and properties of that energy are completely different from chakra.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju remembered what Uchiha had told him before.

"Invaders from other worlds?" Hashirama's gaze locked onto Eren. This unknown threat was more troublesome than he had imagined.

At that moment, Allen looked at the pillars on the roof, his expression suddenly turning serious. His expression clearly showed surprise and confusion.

"Hashirama Senju?" Allen frowned. "How could that be?"

It should be during the Third Shinobi World War now, and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has been dead for many years.

Allen stared intently at Hashirama, his mind racing. Had the timeline shifted? Or was this not the original ninja world at all?

"Who are you?" Hashirama suddenly spoke, his voice steady and powerful. "Why did you attack Konoha?"

"Looks like something went wrong." Allen slowly raised his right hand. "But it's fine this way, we can get more points this way."
