Rukia Kuchiki let out a sigh of relief as she watched the enemy dissolve.
Finally, that bastard was dealt with!
She had to admit, if it weren't for her advantage in soul power, winning this fight would have been far from certain. Even so, it had taken this long to completely eradicate his soul and finally end the battle.
Her gaze then fell upon her Zanpakutō, Sode no Shirayuki, and she found herself momentarily lost in thought.
She had mastered techniques like Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash, and Second Dance: Hakuren, but using them had never been easy. Each time she unleashed a powerful ability, it drained a significant amount of her own energy.
Yet, she realized that just now, whether she was using high-level Kidō or her Shikai abilities, everything felt noticeably easier than before.
Not only that, but the power was also significantly greater. What surprised her even more was that her own energy consumption had been minimal.
This astonished Rukia. She understood clearly that it wasn't because her own strength had increased; it was likely a result of her current special state.
Thinking this, her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Lin Xuan, and she thought to herself, *"So this is the power of that man's methods?"*
At this moment, the impression Lin Xuan had made on Rukia Kuchiki grew even more profound and mysterious.
If she had been skeptical of the information that had appeared in her mind before, she was now beginning to believe it, at least to some extent. The situation certainly seemed to be playing out that way.
"Shunpo!"
Just as Rukia was distracted, a figure suddenly appeared beside the body of Urashiki Ōtsutsuki. It was none other than Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had been watching from the sidelines the entire time.
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki reached out and grabbed Urashiki's corpse. In the next instant, the body began to rapidly transform, quickly turning into a crimson red Chakra Fruit.
At the same time, his other hand extended in a different direction, and a powerful suction force erupted from his palm.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The corpse of Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki flew backward, pulled directly into his hand. Using the same method, he turned Kinshiki's body into another Chakra Fruit.
Then, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki devoured both Chakra Fruits in one go.
By consuming and absorbing the bodies of two of his kin at once, Momoshiki's own form began to change rapidly.
The horn on his head grew larger, his white hair billowed, a golden Rinnegan split open in the center of his forehead, and numerous black markings appeared across his body.
"This guy actually ate his own comrades to make himself stronger?" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock.
"He's incredibly strong. He's releasing an evil aura that feels far more powerful than the last one!" Minato Namikaze's expression also shifted.
Soon, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's transformation was complete.
At this moment, Momoshiki's aura had reached its peak, his power far surpassing what it had been originally.
In comparison, the Urashiki from earlier seemed much weaker.
Seeing Momoshiki's transformation, Jiraiya and Minato's expressions changed. They could actually feel a considerable amount of pressure.
This was significant. After training in the worlds of One Piece and Dragon Ball, their strength was already far beyond what it once was. Yet, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was actually making them feel pressured!
Lin Xuan watched Momoshiki's new form and smiled with interest.
"So he devoured two of them. That's a bit unexpected."
In the storyline Lin Xuan was familiar with, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had only devoured Kinshiki to achieve his transformation. He hadn't expected him to devour Urashiki as well.
This meant that the current Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was undoubtedly even more powerful!
At that moment, Momoshiki clenched his fist and a cold sneer spread across his face.
"That fool Urashiki, getting himself killed just like that. What a waste."
After speaking, his gaze locked onto Lin Xuan and the others, and an intense killing intent erupted from his body.
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was an incredibly arrogant individual. In his eyes, the humans of Earth were nothing more than lower lifeforms.
Even though Urashiki and Kinshiki had been killed by Rukia Kuchiki, that didn't change his mindset.
In his view, it wasn't that the enemy was strong; it was simply that Urashiki and Kinshiki were too weak.
The immense power now surging within him only made him more confident. His eyes were filled with a desire to crush everything in the world.
"Urashiki and Kinshiki were my men, after all. Since you lower lifeforms dared to kill them, there's no reason for you to keep living!"
As his words fell, a blade-shaped shockwave erupted from his body, sweeping in all directions. Everything it touched was utterly destroyed.
However, Rukia managed to dodge it, and the others also evaded the attack.
Momoshiki didn't seem to mind. He immediately launched another powerful assault.
"Inugami!" "Kijō!" "Gan'en!"
A ferocious three-headed earth dragon, a blazing firebird, and a colossal lava giant all appeared simultaneously. Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had unleashed three different powerful techniques of varying attributes at the same time.
These three devastating attacks hurtled toward Rukia, Minato, and the others, unleashing a destructive force so immense it felt as if it could tear even the moon itself apart.
"BOOM!"
At that moment, Minato and the others could no longer hold back. They quickly unleashed their own jutsu to counter Momoshiki's attack.
Rukia also acted swiftly. Her Zanpakutō slashed through the air, releasing an endless wave of freezing cold that collided with the firebird, triggering a massive explosion.
"Your strength is indeed impressive, but as lower lifeforms, your fate is still to be defeated and killed!" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki sneered coldly.
