The Otsutsuki clan members on the cosmic vessel all wore grave expressions. The atmosphere was tense.
Otsutsuki Mitoshi and Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi, who had been arguing earlier, had almost come to blows. The other two divine realm members could not stop their momentum to fight even when trying to mediate. At the critical moment, Karura managed to contact the Otsutsuki Clan Leader, barely defusing the crisis.
"We are about to arrive at our destination. Everyone should set aside personal conflicts for now and focus on the external threat first," Otsutsuki Karura sighed and advised.
However, the parties involved did not respond to him. Instead, Otsutsuki Karashi spoke up.
"To this day, I still do not believe Zeroshiki would betray the clan. This matter is too suspicious. We should first confirm the situation before choosing whether to use force."
Otsutsuki Karashi was on good terms with both Zeroshiki and Karura. He did not believe Zeroshiki would defect, even though the reason given for the defection could be plausible.
"That guy Zeroshiki has most likely already fled. After all, he must know the clan would come to capture him," a clan member at the Six Paths level from the main family stated.
"No matter. Mitoshi's eyes can see past scenes. And with my spatial ability, even if Zeroshiki has a head start, as long as he dares to stop, I will be able to catch up to him," Otsutsuki Karashi declared confidently.
He also thought Zeroshiki would run, but he was confident no one could escape the pursuit of himself and Otsutsuki Mitoshi.
"Something's happening."
Just as the group was discussing the issue of Zeroshiki, a clansman who was using the Byakugan to stand guard suddenly cried out in alarm.
"That's... Meishiki." He saw the figure of Meishiki. And staying with Meishiki was a very unfamiliar young man in black clothes.
"What. They actually didn't run. Or are they waiting for us." Everyone on the vessel was astonished by the two figures on the distant barren star.
"Where is Zeroshiki. Why do we only see Meishiki and not Zeroshiki." Someone raised this question, but no one could give a definite answer.
"Looking at the state of these two... Could it be... Could it be that Zeroshiki has already completed the possession. That young man is Zeroshiki." Otsutsuki Karura suggested this possibility.
"Look at Meishiki's left eye. It seems completely closed. This means he has already used the God Slaying ocular technique. So Zeroshiki most likely successfully possessed someone using 'Karma'."
Otsutsuki Karashi made a deduction based on the information he knew.
"What enormous audacity. Knowing we would come, how does he dare to stay here waiting for us. Does he really think possessing a lowly human body makes him invincible under heaven." Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi spoke in a deep voice.
"Based on my understanding of Zeroshiki, he must have a very high chance of winning to dare act like this. Everyone should still be careful and cautious," Otsutsuki Karura reminded.
"Is there a need for caution against a lowly human who could be defeated by Zeroshiki." Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi crossed his arms, his face full of disdain.
"What if the person before us is not Zeroshiki... but a human who defeated Zeroshiki and intentionally lured us here." Otsutsuki Karashi suddenly proposed this shocking idea.
"Uncle, stop making such unrealistic jokes... How could Zeroshiki possibly lose to a human. Moreover, Zeroshiki and his son have already stated their position in front of Grandfather the Clan Leader. Could both of them have been controlled by that human."
Otsutsuki Mitoshi could not help but retort.
"That's not certain," Otsutsuki Karashi answered with a grave expression.
"Stop being overly suspicious. Accelerate and bring the vessel closer. Everything will become clear then." Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi spoke lightly.
When the Otsutsuki clan saw Ryun, Ryun on the barren star also saw them.
"They're finally here."
Ryun stood up and gazed into the distance, seeing the densely packed figures on the vessel.
"However, aren't there a bit too many people."
Seeing a whole ship of Otsutsuki heading towards him, even Ryun, skilled and bold, could not help but feel some tension in his heart at this moment.
Originally, he thought he could take out another small group of the Otsutsuki clan's top experts. A lineup like the previous Otsutsuki Zeroshiki's would have been perfect.
But now, every single one of the Otsutsuki on this ship was a formidable character not to be trifled with. This wasn't much different from single handedly fighting half the Otsutsuki clan.
However, with matters reaching this point, there was no room to retreat and not fight. Ryun could only brace himself and meet the battle head on.
'With so many people, I can only rely on 'Eternal Night',' Ryun thought to himself, subconsciously reaching up to touch his left eye.
Both his eyes had the ability to counter the Byakugan. Especially his left eye, which could suppress all ocular techniques in the world. As long as 'Eternal Night' could be successfully activated and seal the eyes and ocular power of these Otsutsuki, then he was confident he could take them all down in one go.
Seeing that the entire ship of Otsutsuki had already spotted him, Ryun put the Otsutsuki Meishiki, who had been standing beside him, back into the Kamui dimension.
This puppet thing couldn't help him fight. Moreover, the God Slaying ocular technique in Meishiki's left eye still hadn't recovered. Keeping him outside was only to confuse the Otsutsuki clan. Other than that, he served no purpose.
Unless the cooldown time for that powerful ocular technique could refresh, this guy was useless.
"Meishiki is gone. Is that guy planning to face us alone." Someone among the Otsutsuki clan exclaimed in surprise.
"What a brave heart he has. Seeing so many of us, he doesn't even plan to run... Is this guy really that cautious and prudent Zeroshiki. I truly find it hard to believe." Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi spoke gravely.
If the opponent had two Zeroshikis, upon seeing the four of them appear together, they would probably flee in panic.
But the current situation was... This person's demeanor remained composed and unperturbed. His pair of Nine Tomoe Rinnegan were calm and undisturbed. His tall, straight figure stood proudly atop the mountain peak. From a distance, he truly appeared peerless and majestic. Before the two sides even got close, everyone on the ship felt an overwhelming, terrifying aura that seemed to swallow the world.
"This guy is not simple at all... If he is not Zeroshiki, then he is definitely the strongest human I have ever seen." Otsutsuki Karura narrowed his eyes as he assessed.
"This man is indeed extraordinary... Can outward aura projection be this exaggerated. Even across such a vast distance, it can still affect us."
Otsutsuki Mitoshi could not help but ask in surprise. This might be the only time she had praised a young male, and the other party was a human.
"This is not that kind of intimidating aura reliant on chakra emission... It is the natural imposing aura possessed by one who has experienced countless battles undefeated. Plus, he is borrowing the mountainous terrain of that planet. This has greatly enhanced the aura around him." Otsutsuki Karura seriously answered Otsutsuki Mitoshi's question.
The Byakugan's field of vision was wide. From the angle of the vessel's approach, it looked as if that man was treading the mountain range underfoot. The 'presence' on Ryun was amplified to the extreme at this moment, even reaching a level that inspired awe.
The people on the vessel felt as if they were not there to capture this man, but rather as if this man had come to conquer them.
