Chapter 543 The Fate of Weapons, The Approaching Mighty Enemy
Two months after the formal showdown between Ōtsutsuki Zero and Ōtsutsuki Yasō.
"You are……"
Inside the palace, Ginshiki Ōtsutsuki stared in horror at the man sitting on the throne.
"Ginshiki, don't you recognize me?" Ryuun smiled faintly, his voice surprisingly belonging to Reishiki Otsutsuki.
"You're the head of the family? But why is your aura so different?" Ginshiki Otsutsuki asked cautiously.
He knew that the patriarch was planning to possess the human in front of him, but when this human appeared alive in front of him, while the patriarch and the young master had completely disappeared... this scene not only made him feel unfamiliar, but also filled him with fear!
The only thing that made the strange man in front of me was his voice, which was the same as the head of the family. But was he really the head of the family?
Ryuun stored the Zero-Shiki and his son puppets into the Kamui Dimension, then appeared directly in front of Ginshiki Otsutsuki in his true form. He wanted to see how this fool would react...
“I used the ‘Wedge’ to possess his body, so of course it’s his aura. What, are you questioning me?” Liu Yun asked expressionlessly.
"No...don't dare!"
Because Mei had informed Ginshiki Otsutsuki in advance, he had no choice but to accept the man's sudden appearance.
From the moment he killed Yang Shi, he lost the right to question!
In fact, after using the 'Karma' to complete a body-snatching, the Otsutsuki clan can freely choose a face. For example, Otsutsuki Isshiki can use Jigen's face, but he can also use his original face. This situation is not surprising among the Otsutsuki clan.
"I have a question for you now..." Ryuun suddenly said with a smile to Ginshiki Otsutsuki.
"Master, please feel free to ask any questions. Ginshiki will answer to the best of his ability..." Ginshiki replied with his head bowed.
"Very well... If one day I fall out with my family, will you support me or my family?"
Upon hearing this pointed question, Ginshiki Otsutsuki's eyes widened immediately, looking completely bewildered.
First, the underworld official asked him whether he supported the branch family head or the yang family head; now the family head is asking him whether he supports the branch family or the main family...
Both of these problems are fatal!
Trained as a weapon, he was taught from a young age to be unconditionally loyal to his family. He was originally told that he only needed to protect his protector (Yang Shi) to be loyal to the family, but he never expected to encounter a branch family head who was even more noble than Yang Shi...
He was forced to choose the position of 'guardian' over the position of 'head of the family' because both guardians and guards belonged to the branch family and were subject to the branch family's leadership.
But now the head of the branch family has made loyalty even more meticulous, and has even asked the crucial question of 'supporting the branch family' or 'supporting the main family'... This has really put Ginshiki in a difficult position.
Logically speaking, Gin should have chosen the main family's position without hesitation, since the branch family is under the control of the main family, and the main family has the highest status. Even the head of the branch family's position is only slightly higher than that of ordinary members of the main family.
But the question posed by the head of the branch family clearly made Yin Shi sense a death crisis. He had a premonition that if he answered the main family, he would most likely die in the next moment!
The instinct for loyalty and the instinct for survival were briefly locked in a stalemate, but in the end, Ginshiki Otsutsuki made a fatal choice:
"Within the family, the main branch... is supreme!"
Upon hearing Ginshiki Otsutsuki's words, Ryuun couldn't help but laugh.
"A weapon is still a weapon after all..."
Liu Yun shook his head and sighed. The next moment, he stretched out a finger toward the ground and pointed it toward Ginshiki Otsutsuki. A terrifying black lightning was faintly surging at the tip of his finger.
Although the air was thick with murderous intent, Ginshiki Otsutsuki remained kneeling with his head down, neither fleeing nor taking any precautions.
call out! ! !
The lightning was unleashed and instantly pierced through Ginshiki Otsutsuki's head, shattering his brain.
After twitching a few times on the ground, Ginshiki Ōtsutsuki quickly fell silent.
Liu Yun glanced at him and silently absorbed him into the Divine Might Space.
The reason he killed Ginshiki Otsutsuki was because he was leaving this planet!
The enemy is about to arrive here. If a major battle breaks out here, none of the billions of living beings on this planet will survive.
He intends to intercept the Otsutsuki clan on their path to this place, to prevent them from harming this inhabited planet.
"I wonder how many supreme experts at the Divine Realm that guy will send..." Liu Yun murmured to himself.
In the best-case scenario, the Otsutsuki clan would send one or two Divine Realm experts, along with several Six Paths level powerhouses. With such a lineup, Liu Yun was confident that he could devour them in one go, and there was virtually no possibility of a 'mishap'.
Liu Yun set up this scheme precisely to lure out the true master of the Otsutsuki clan!
He planned to take on everything single-handedly and draw the main force of the Otsutsuki clan.
As for the expeditionary force in the ninja world, it is aimed at annihilating the clan. As long as Ryuun's side can win, the expeditionary force will be able to devour the remaining forces of the Otsutsuki clan!
Of course, if Ryuun is defeated, then the Elephant Reincarnation clone on the spaceship will also die immediately. At that time, Orochimaru will decisively cancel the extermination mission and lead Ryuun's old troops to find a new home suitable for human survival!
They had planned all of these things in advance, even devising a 'defeat plan' for how to revive Liuyun after their defeat!
Orochimaru and Ryūun are both the kind of people who like to 'plan carefully before acting'; they've already considered failure before even thinking about victory...
Plan before you act, know when to stop and you will gain something; consider defeat before victory; these are the basic qualities a commander should possess!
Liu Yun sat cross-legged atop a mountain on a desolate star, quietly awaiting the arrival of the enemy.
This place is not far from the inhabited planet that Liu Yun previously set foot on. If there were enemies attacking from the direction of the Otsutsuki clan, they would not be able to hide it from his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. Similarly, he could not hide it from the Otsutsuki clan's Byakugan here.
Liu Yun sat on the ground gazing at the starry sky, but his mind connected with the 'Southern Sky' and the 'Northern Earth', using the Image Transformation to understand the situation in both places.
The expeditionary force was in stable condition. Orochimaru had the reanimated Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki pilot the spaceship. With their unlimited chakra output, the spaceship reached its maximum speed!
Reanimated beings have no human rights whatsoever. Orochimaru treated the two like beasts of burden, exploiting them relentlessly... Since the reanimated form possesses the ability to infinitely regenerate chakra, there's no harm in using such perfect tools...
Traveling through space is a very tedious and boring thing, so the group chose to cultivate on the spot. Liu Yun's avatar brought them the sparse natural energy scattered in the universe, which can be considered as providing them with a better environment for cultivation.
Meanwhile, the other clone in the ninja world is more leisurely and comfortable. He occasionally goes out of his room to chat with his family or take care of the children, but spends most of his time in his room drawing ultra-long-range summoning arrays.
Under his orders, the Ninja World's Sky Eye System monitors the outer regions 24 hours a day. He will only leave the Shadow Palace's territory if there is any movement from the Hidden Village. Otherwise, he will just be a shut-in!
