"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
Adam smiled and reached out to stop Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who was about to leave, casually dropping a few small metal balls nearby.
Those metal balls were machines he had Reed and Banner modify, based on HYDRA's quantum field disruptor, to prevent spatial movement.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki also possessed space-time Ninjutsu and could open space portals to move.
To prevent Ōtsutsuki Isshiki from escaping after being lured out, he had specifically prepared this backup plan in advance. Now that he had discovered Ōtsutsuki Isshiki at this moment, it was a good opportunity to use it early.
"I am not a fellow Daoist; I am Jigen, a wandering monk passing through here. I have no intention of getting involved in your war, so please allow me to leave."
Seeing Adam suddenly appear before him, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was startled, then quickly composed himself and replied expressionlessly.
Despite his arrogant demeanor, looking down on humans, the current situation was not in his favor. Unable to use his full power, he did not want to expose himself to the public.
Once a conflict arose, it would be of no benefit to him in his current state.
Especially in this state, even if he fought, he couldn't defeat Six Paths Madara and Adam.
"Master, you are too modest. I can sense a very powerful force within you. This war concerns the safety of the entire World. With such powerful abilities, how can you remain aloof?
With great power comes great responsibility. I hope Master can join hands with me to thwart Uchiha Madara's conspiracy and restore peace to the Ninja World!"
Adam spoke with righteous indignation.
Moral blackmail, if directed at oneself, is naturally disgusting, but if directed at others, it's a different story.
Of course, he was just saying it casually; Ōtsutsuki Isshiki wouldn't be morally blackmailed by him. Ultimately, it came down to strength.
"Such keen perception."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at these words.
He hadn't expected that despite his excellent concealment, not only was his presence detected, but the unreleased power within him was also sensed.
At this point, the best course of action was to leave.
Without answering Adam's question, he immediately used his ability, intending to open a portal and leave.
But in the next second, he froze.
"How could this happen?"
The circular space portal had just formed when it seemed to be interfered with, collapsing directly.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Although he couldn't unleash his full power in this state, opening a space portal was still a trivial matter.
Before he could figure out what was going on, an angry roar came from a distance.
"Adam, I'm going to tear you apart!"
It was Six Paths Madara, who had been kicked deep underground by Adam. After his body was repaired by Six Paths power, he burst out.
This time, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Ninja, flying directly towards Adam's location.
"How did Adam suddenly become so powerful again? And who is that?"
Naruto, from within Susanoo's brow, looked at the furious Madara, then at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki opposite Adam in the distance, his face full of confusion.
Sasuke shook his head:
"I'm not sure, but I don't think this is the time for us to be stunned. We should go and help."
Regardless of what happened with Adam's sudden burst of attack, or whether the new person was friend or foe, since Six Paths Madara had not been defeated, they naturally couldn't be complacent and had to quickly go help Adam fight.
The Five Kage and several Naruto from Edo Tensei had the same idea, and they also quickly pursued.
However, their speed was clearly no match for Six Paths Madara, and Fourth Hokage Minato and Second Naruto Senju Tobirama, who intentionally tried to use Flying Thunder God Technique, couldn't instantly move due to Adam's quantum field disruptor.
"Here you go!"
Seeing Six Paths Madara flying towards them at high speed, Adam stepped forward and slapped Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's chest, pushing him towards Six Paths Madara.
"Where did this ant come from, daring to block my path!"
At this moment, Six Paths Madara was filled with rage. He believed that he had been careless and fallen for Adam's trick because he was distracted by others. Now, seeing an unknown nobody daring to block him, he immediately decided not to hold back with a playful attitude.
"Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch!"
He launched Ninjutsu with both hands towards the approaching Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and a large amount of purple lightning immediately gushed out.
This purple lightning was not ordinary lightning created by Lightning Release, but special lightning containing Six Paths power, hundreds of times more powerful than ordinary Lightning Release lightning.
"Ah!!!"
Because the push was so sudden and the force so astonishing, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had no time to react and was directly hit by Six Paths Madara's Lightning Release, immediately letting out a scream.
"You lowly creatures, how dare you injure me! I will make you all die!"
Feeling the power of the Six Paths Lightning Release, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could no longer bother to hide and immediately released the power he had been concealing within his body.
As the complete Ōtsutsuki power was released, his body quickly transformed from human to Ōtsutsuki form.
There was no choice. If he didn't release all his power and complete the transformation, his Jigen's body simply couldn't withstand a Lightning Release of this level.
If Jigen's body were destroyed, he would also die with it.
Moreover, how could he, the great Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, endure such humiliation, being injured by a lowly human?
So, he simply released all the power within him, using Jigen's body for reincarnation, even though this body could only last two or three days before collapsing.
However, he had already thought it through.
If it came down to it, he thought Adam's body was quite good. Why not parasitic on Adam before his current body collapsed, and then slowly search for a suitable body for himself?
"What's going on with this guy?"
Watching Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body suddenly change under his Lightning Release, and a terrifying Chakra burst forth from within him, Six Paths Madara immediately stopped flying towards Adam, eyes wide, suspended in mid-air.
With a eyes in his left eye, and his right eye a golden wheel shape with eight triangles around the pupil, his entire body pale, and a strange horn on his head, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who looked nothing like a human, appeared in everyone's view.
The transformed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki waved his hand, dispersing the Lightning Release on his body, then flashed and appeared before Six Paths Madara.
He wanted to take advantage of being able to exert his full power now, first eliminate this Ten-Tails Jinchuriki who dared to injure him, and then parasitize Adam.
"Boom!"
Although Six Paths Madara reacted quickly enough and put his hand up to block, he was still kicked down by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
In terms of Taijutsu strength, the one-eyed Six Paths Madara was surprisingly no match for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki…
