After Setsuna finished giving his instructions, Kaguya looked at him and said, "From this planet to the Otsutsuki's home planet, the fastest would take ten years."
Setsuna shook his head slightly. "No need for that trouble. Recall the aura of the Otsutsuki's home planet in your mind."
Kaguya did not understand, but she complied.
She closed her eyes and recalled the aura of her home planet.
At that moment, a warm hand rested on her shoulder.
Kaguya's body stiffened, but she dared not move.
Setsuna softly uttered two words: "Instant Transmission."
Kaguya only felt space shift around her. When she opened her eyes again, below her was a familiar yet unfamiliar planet.
"Th-this is?" Kaguya could hardly believe it.
Their clan certainly used spatial abilities to travel through the universe, but at most they could cross a few light-years at a time.
To do what Setsuna did… cross infinite space-time in a single step and teleport directly to the Otsutsuki's home planet… was something she wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Setsuna examined the planet below. Its volume was at least a thousand times that of Earth.
His Cosmo swept over the planet and found that there were many intelligent beings on this planet, perhaps hundreds of billions, but the members belonging to the Otsutsuki Clan were very few, only around ten thousand.
Setsuna was not surprised by this. The more powerful a race, the more difficult it is to gestate life. This was very reasonable.
Just as Setsuna was examining the planet below, several powerful auras shot up from the grand city below.
There were seven visitors in total, all dressed in beautiful attire with the distinctive patterns of the Otsutsuki Clan, horns on their foreheads, and either pure white or rippled pupils.
Their auras were condensed and vast. The pressure each of them emitted was no less than that of Kaguya, who had just been unsealed, and some even exceeded her.
Kaguya's face turned slightly pale, and she said with chagrin, "Oh no, I just recalled the aura of the home planet's capital, where there are many powerful individuals."
Setsuna was unperturbed. "That's good. It saves me the trouble of announcing my arrival."
The leader was a middle-aged man with a cold and stern face and sharp eyes. He stared at Kaguya and mercilessly reprimanded:
"Otsutsuki Kaguya, how dare you unilaterally return to the home planet?"
His gaze swept over Setsuna beside Kaguya, whose aura was completely concealed. He frowned slightly but did not pay much attention.
"According to the rotation schedule of the [God Tree Cultivation Plan], the maturation period for the [Designation D-9527 Planet] that you and Isshiki were responsible for has long since passed!"
"Not only did you fail to return on time and not hand over the God Tree's fruit, but Isshiki has also completely lost his life connection!"
"Speak! What exactly happened? Is Isshiki's death related to you?"
A series of harsh interrogations, carrying condescending arrogance and the pressure of a superior.
Facing this familiar sense of oppression, Kaguya's body subconsciously trembled.
This was the imprint of fear in her heart towards the authority of her home planet.
But the next second, she thought of the unfathomable existence beside her. A twisted sense of retaliatory pleasure surged in her heart.
She abruptly raised her head, her voice high-pitched: "Insolent! I, Otsutsuki Kaguya! Am the inheritor of the ancestral bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan! The princess of the main family!"
"A thousand years ago, it was you ambition-ridden members of the branch family who colluded with external enemies, usurped power and authority, abandoned the glory of the ancestors, and betrayed the trust of the main family!"
"You exiled me to a remote galaxy, made me a servant to sacrifice to the God Tree, trying to squeeze out my last bit of value..."
"Now, I have returned! I bring termination, I bring destruction! I have come to collect the blood debt of a thousand years! To settle accounts for the ancestors, for the main family!"
The seven Otsutsuki powerhouses opposite Kaguya frowned slightly. They were not concerned about Kaguya's rebuke.
If anger were useful, what would power be for?
They were just puzzled: Where did Kaguya get her confidence? Could it be that the ancestor had responded?
Setsuna raised an eyebrow, his expression rather peculiar.
'Branch family usurps the throne, princess in exile? Heh, so it's a princess's revenge story?'
Setsuna felt somewhat amused, 'The Otsutsuki branch family on the moon had perfectly carried out the philosophy of the home planet's branch family.'
But he quickly shook his head. He had no interest in the Otsutsuki's family affairs.
Setsuna interrupted Kaguya's passionate and eloquent accusation and said calmly to the seven, "Your Otsutsuki Clan should have quite a few other members scattered across the universe carrying out your so-called [God Tree cultivation] missions, right?"
The seven opposite looked somewhat confused, 'Was this creature not Kaguya's servant? How dare it interrupt our conversation?'
Setsuna ignored their confusion and continued, "I will give you time to notify them, to summon all the powerful individuals within your clan. Bring them back."
"If no one can defeat me, then I will have no choice but to grant you destruction."
Deathly silence, then a volcano-like fury.
"Arrogant!"
"You insignificant lower life form, how dare you speak like that?"
"Kaguya! Is this the backing you brought? A deranged monkey?"
The seven Otsutsuki powerhouses were so angry they laughed, looking at Setsuna as if he were a stupid fool who didn't know his place.
Their Otsutsuki Clan ran rampant through this universe, devouring countless civilizations and planets. They were an invincible overlord race.
No one had ever dared to stand so arrogantly above their home planet and proclaim that they would 'grant' them destruction.
It was the most absurd thing in the universe!
"Capture them! Send Kaguya to the Trial Hall! Execute this madman directly!" The leader lost his patience and ordered harshly.
A burly Otsutsuki powerhouse beside him had long been unable to contain himself. Hearing this, he let out a ferocious laugh, his figure disappearing in an instant as if teleporting, and the next moment he was already in front of Setsuna.
A giant hand covered in dark gold Chakra, capable of crushing stars, with a shriek that tore through space, reached viciously for Setsuna's head.
"Die! You meaningless insect..."
His roar abruptly stopped.
Setsuna simply raised his right hand casually and lightly tapped him.
This burly Otsutsuki powerhouse burst like a ripe watermelon, his flesh and remains scattering from the sky.
The remaining six Otsutsuki powerhouses' faces instantly froze, turning into extreme horror and disbelief.
They hadn't even seen what happened. A comrade whose strength matched theirs was just gone like that?
How was this possible? Wasn't the Otsutsuki the most powerful race in the universe?
If the one who killed their comrade had been Kaguya, they would have felt better about it.
Kaguya watched from the side, feeling pleasure to the extreme.
While feeling pleasure, she also felt some regret. If she had known Earthlings had such defiant talent, she would have cultivated them properly back then.
Setsuna slowly withdrew his finger, as if merely dusting off some dirt.
He looked at the six Otsutsuki, who were now breaking out in cold sweats, his tone calm. "Now, can you go summon your people? Or do you want to die right now as well?"
The leading Otsutsuki, cold sweat streaming down his face, glared fiercely at Kaguya, who had brought this disaster upon them, then gritted his teeth. "Retreat! I will go summon the clan's powerhouses immediately!"
