"What did you do? How could you possibly hurt Mother?"

Black Zetsu's voice was filled with coldness. To him, Kaguya Otsutsuki was everything, and anyone who hurt her would make him angrier than anyone who hurt him.

"Just like you saw, I simply moved my finger, and then, whoosh..."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he made the same gesture as when he attacked before, but this time he was just going through the motions. Kaguya Otsutsuki, however, took several steps back.

The attack did not come as expected, and coupled with Yi Shuihan's astonished look, Kaguya Otsutsuki felt somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Don't be nervous! I'll warn you before the next attack."

Yi Shuihan chuckled softly, finding Kaguya Otsutsuki quite interesting in this form.

After a moment of stunned silence, Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression twisted in shock.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, almost splitting it in two, with no end in sight.

"Roar"

A beast-like roar came from the sky above Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the entire world, or more precisely, the space she created, began to collapse, shattering like glass.

“You’ve really angered Mother. She’d rather destroy an entire space forever than not kill you.”

"Do we really have to go this far?"

Yi Shuihan stared speechlessly at Kaguya Otsutsuki, whose body was already halfway into the void rift.

"Damn it! Two idiots, do you think I won't leave here?"

Even though it was obvious that this space was about to be destroyed, and it might be destroyed at any moment, Yi Shuihan remained calm and composed, and began to sense other spaces.

Sensing can detect space, but it cannot traverse space.

"What's going on? Is this space interfering with me and trying to prevent me from leaving?"

The space, which was originally not even a small world, felt alive to Yi Shuihan at this moment. It was like a madman whose life was coming to an end, locking onto him tightly and interfering with the surrounding space, making Yi Shuihan temporarily unable to leave.

Of course, if Yi Shuihan had some time—not too long, just a few tens of minutes—he could figure out a way to leave. But time obviously doesn't allow it now.

"This is what happens when you underestimate your opponent! You become careless because you think you are strong. It seems that I have become complacent because of my comfortable life over the years."

Originally, Yi Shuihan would never have fallen into this dangerous situation. He could have prevented it from the beginning. If it weren't for his arrogance, Kaguya Otsutsuki wouldn't even have had a chance to be resurrected. And if she were resurrected, he would have had an even greater chance to seal or kill her before she entered this space.

He realized that if he had acted faster, he could have left with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In one minute, Yi Shuihan racked his brains but couldn't think of a way to leave. Of course, he wasn't in any danger. With his strength, he could survive even if the world were destroyed; at most, he would be seriously injured.

Even if all else fails, he can rely on the system to travel through time. With the system's incredible abilities, this predicament is nothing to him.

"Unfortunately, I can't leave now. Who knows if Naruto can still be the protagonist? If he can't, Tsunade will be in danger."

I guess I can only rely on the system now. I hope I have a skill that can get me out of this predicament. Damn it, my cultivation points!

"System, help me find the skills that are suitable for me to use now."

"Ding, skill search in progress..."

"Search complete. A total of 911 skills meet your requirements. Please select one."

The system did not disappoint Yi Shuihan; it really did have many methods.

"Um, remove the skills I don't have the ability to pay."

Chapter 492, Filial Piety Moves Heaven, Black Zetsu

Looking at the panel that was originally dozens of pages but had suddenly been reduced to just a few, Yi Shuihan's lips twitched, feeling a sense of poverty.

You only realize how little you know when you need it, but for him, "books" are merely a means of self-cultivation.

"However, there is still the awkward situation of not having a single one."

"Minor Boundary-Breaking Transfer Technique, Spatial Escape, Void Fusion Body..."

Considering the cost-effectiveness, Yi Shuihan finally bought a one-time minor boundary-breaking teleportation technique, spending 1000 cultivation points, which made Yi Shuihan feel heartbroken.

"Damn it, this matter can't be left so easily. My cultivation points aren't so easily swindled."

Originally, Yi Shuihan was just playing around, but this time he was completely enraged. 1000 points could allow him to spend an entire world's worth of time with Hancock and the others.

Using a minor world-breaking teleportation technique, Yi Shuihan finally left this place, which he somewhat regretted coming to, before the world collapsed.

The world of ice

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly clutched her heart, her face contorted in pain, and her aura suddenly weakened considerably, even compared to when she was first resurrected.

"Mother, are you alright? That boy should be dead. No one could survive in that situation."

Black Zetsu's judgment was not without reason, because the collapse of the created space is not such a simple matter.

Generally speaking, creating is difficult, while destroying is easy. Given Kaguya Otsutsuki's ability to create space, it would be very easy for her to simply destroy a space and no longer use it. She could even recreate the space from destruction to rebirth in a short period of time.

However, what Kaguya Otsutsuki did just now was not simple destruction, but rather the abandonment of a portion of her own power at its root, which created an extremely powerful binding force in that space to prevent anyone from leaving.

This wasn't the first time she had used this ability. Countless years ago, shortly after Kaguya Otsutsuki ate the fruit of the God Tree, she encountered a powerful being from another world. At the time, this person was even stronger than her. After a fierce battle, the person was about to seal her away.

When Kaguya Otsutsuki first used this ability, she sacrificed the largest space and forcefully destroyed that powerful enemy.

It was because of that incident that Kaguya Otsutsuki needed to absorb human life force from time to time to recover, and over time, she became that cruel queen who disregarded life.

The reason she didn't use this ability during her battle with her son and was eventually sealed away is because they were evenly matched at the time, and she even had a slight advantage. There was no need to use this ability. Besides, using it would have really hurt her. Of course, it's also possible that she still had feelings for her son deep down.

"Found you."

"How is this possible? You're actually alright."

When Yi Shuihan reappeared in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki, his face was clearly not looking good, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was utterly horrified and completely distraught. In truth, she had just felt a pang of regret for impulsively activating that ability, which had caused her a severe injury that she might never recover from. It would have been better if Yi Shuihan had died, since he was indeed a formidable opponent, which would have given her some comfort.

Now, Yi Shuihan is not only alive, but he also appears unharmed, and even seems stronger than before. How can Kaguya Otsutsuki possibly understand this?

However, she couldn't afford to think about anything else now. Yi Shuihan had no mood to continue playing with her. The skill he exchanged was a one-time use skill. If he had to do it again, wouldn't he lose another 1000 cultivation points? This was something Yi Shuihan absolutely did not want to see.

"Get ready, I'm about to attack."

He remembered what he had said before, a reminder before the attack, but he spoke too fast and Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't hear him at all. She was only paying attention to Yi Shuihan's movements and immediately became defensive when she saw Yi Shuihan's actions.

With his right hand wielding a knife, he swung it fiercely, unleashing a massive blade of energy tens of meters long.

This was certainly not the end. Next, Yi Shuihan's hand became a blur, constantly waving, and the sword energy formed a storm that swept across the sky.

The sword energy, composed entirely of spiritual energy, sent chills down Kaguya Otsutsuki's spine. She instinctively wanted to open a portal to another dimension, having no intention of confronting it head-on.

"It's not that easy to leave."

The moment a hand reached in, Yi Shuihan appeared behind her with a hand chop, faster than a flash of light. Kaguya Otsutsuki had no time to react before the hand separated from her body. At the same time, a tremendous force came from her buttocks, and she was sent flying, clashing head-on with countless sword energies.

At this point, leaving was obviously impossible. In the air, Kaguya Otsutsuki began to emit black bones all over her body, covering herself like a hedgehog. However, this time she was not trying to attack, but to defend.

The moment the blade energy clashed with the black bone, it unleashed astonishing power. The black bone, which was many times harder than the blade, vanished into ashes as if it had encountered its nemesis, revealing the person encased within.

"do not want!"

Otsutsuki exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with terror. Even her immortality couldn't give her any confidence!

If you were to actually get hit, you'd be seriously injured, if not killed.

At the critical moment, Black Zetsu made a move that Yi Shuihan would never have expected before. He flew out from Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve and transformed into a black shield to protect Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The sword energy clashed with the black-clad figure, canceling each other out and leaving the clothes tattered. However, at least it saved Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After several rounds of sword energy, the man in black had completely disappeared, and Hei Jue had also vanished from the world.

"Putting everything else aside, Black Zetsu is definitely a good son."

He spent his whole life trying to resurrect his mother, and in the end, he died for her. In some worlds, this would be considered incredibly filial piety!

Even Yi Shuihan, who had always looked down on Hei Jue and thought he was just a clown, felt a sense of respect for Hei Jue at this moment.

Chapter 493, You Can Do It Too

"You should really thank Black Zetsu for letting you breathe a little more air."

Looking at Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was kneeling on the ground with a bewildered expression, Yi Shui said in a cold voice.

Startled by Yi Shuihan's words, Kaguya Otsutsuki finally understood what had happened. However, her face did not show much sadness, or rather, she did not show the level of pain one would expect from the death of a loved one. If one did not observe carefully, it would be difficult to even notice that fleeting sadness.

"I guess Black Zetsu is just like a puppy pet to her!"

That makes sense, since Kaguya Otsutsuki created Black Zetsu just before she was sealed away, and only instilled in Black Zetsu the idea of ​​reviving her.

All along, Black Zetsu has only been a tool in her mind to revive her. And even after she is revived, she may only see him as a useful tool to quickly control the information of the current era.

Black Zetsu called Kaguya Otsutsuki "Mom" from the very beginning, but it's hard to say whether Kaguya Otsutsuki acknowledged this relationship in her heart. Even if she did, she probably wouldn't take it too seriously. Her heart had long been corrupted by power, and she loved power more than anything else. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so obsessed with chakra.

"Black Zetsu's intelligence is not low either. Perhaps he knew from the beginning his position in Kaguya Otsutsuki's heart. Even so, he died for her without any regrets. It's true that everyone has a time when their intelligence drops to zero when faced with a situation!"

So, are there any people or things that I would still be willing to give up my life for even though I know it's not worth it?

The answer to this question was hidden deep within Yi Shuihan's heart.

"Roar"

Just as Yi Shuihan was about to make another move, Kaguya Otsutsuki repeated the spatial collapse from before. In order to accelerate the speed and power of the spatial collapse, she simply abandoned several nearby spaces. If before it was killing a thousand enemies while losing three hundred of her own, now it was truly killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of her own.

Regardless of whether Yi Shuihan lives or dies, it is virtually impossible for Kaguya Otsutsuki to return to her peak strength, and she is likely to experience a further decline in power, possibly even falling below the Bronze level.

Having learned from his previous experience, Yi Shuihan immediately moved to Kaguya Otsutsuki's side this time and left together through the gate opened by Kaguya.

This fact filled Kaguya Otsutsuki's face with despair. The space hadn't completely collapsed yet, but her heart had almost died, and she felt utterly hopeless.

outside world,

When Yi Shuihan appeared with a blank stare, like a puppet, everyone looked at him strangely.

"Don't look at me strangely, worried that I'll retaliate. I haven't done anything strange."

Is such a blatant threat really a good thing?

However, some things seem to be more effective the more straightforward they are. If they are not explained clearly, they may cause misunderstandings, and the consequences can sometimes be extremely terrible.

Aside from the feeling of not being afraid of Yi Shuihan's revenge, everyone immediately kept their eyes and ears down, acting as if they wanted to stay out of it and not care about them.

"What's going on? Could it be that you've taken a liking to her? If you look closely, she is indeed quite pretty."

Tsunade pointed at Kaguya Otsutsuki, her tone not very friendly.

"How could that be? It was just due to some special reasons that this situation arose. I swear, she and I have absolutely no relationship like what you're thinking. Besides, she's not as pretty as you, and she's not as big as you. Most importantly, she's already a mother of several children, dozens of times older than me, and she has a bad temper, and..."

At first, it seemed normal, but later it was almost a thorough critique and explanation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's shortcomings.

As Yi Shuihan continued his rambling, Tsunade's expression softened, especially after hearing a few words of praise from Yi Shuihan, she revealed a "you know what I mean" look.

Those around Yi Shuihan exchanged glances, all full of disapproval. This side of Yi Shuihan was truly astonishing.

Under Yi Shuihan's persuasive words, Tsunade was satisfied, and the people around her were relieved. Kaguya Otsutsuki also temporarily forgot her own situation, her face full of shame and anger. She used the "killer look" that everyone knows, hoping to glare Yi Shuihan to death.

"You bastard, I used to be the most beautiful woman in the world, even the king of the neighboring country wanted to take me away, and you actually say such things about me."

In her mind, she had already cursed Yi Shuihan over and over again with every word she could think of, but unfortunately, she was still too naive and her vocabulary was severely lacking, so she could only curse him with the same few sentences over and over again.

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki herself didn't realize that perhaps because she was no match for Yi Shuihan at all, even running away was a luxury, and the outcome was already predetermined—either being sealed away or dying—Kaguya Otsutsuki's emotions were closer to those of an ordinary person. Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's sarcasm, her mindset had temporarily detached her from that of a cold and ruthless queen.

"So what are you going to do with her?"

"There are two options: one is to treat the symptoms, and the other is to treat the root cause: sealing it off or killing it completely."

"Kill her? Is that even possible? Even the Sage of Six Paths could only seal her away."

"Don't underestimate me, your man! That old man Liudao is nothing. If he dares to show his face now, I can beat him with one hand."

Upon hearing the mention of the Sage of Six Paths, Yi Shuihan suddenly remembered that it was precisely because the Sage of Six Paths refused to act as a grandfather that all the mess that followed had occurred, causing him to lose 1000 cultivation points. Immediately, he felt a surge of resentment towards him.

The Sage of Six Paths, far away in an unknown space, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He thought there was an enemy and hesitated for a long time.

"Actually, it's not just me, you can do it too."

"What?"

"To kill her, her nemesis is spiritual energy. You can't completely destroy her with chakra or other methods. However, if you want to kill her, it will probably take several days and nights. Your spiritual energy content is too low."

Upon hearing that she could also kill Kaguya Otsutsuki, Tsunade was initially quite pleased, after all, Kaguya was someone even the legendary Sage of Six Paths couldn't kill. However, Yi Shuihan's subsequent words made Tsunade want to hit him.

"We must kill her. She killed so many of our comrades, and her ideology is too dangerous; she poses a threat to all of humanity."

“That’s right. If we can kill them, we must kill them. Otherwise, how can we rest in peace if our brothers die at Rang’s hands?”

The crowd was in unison, clamoring to kill Kaguya Otsutsuki.
