On the other side, Otsutsuki Kaguya looked at her eldest son before her, and a rare trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.
She narrowed her Byakugan slightly, carefully studying Hagoromo's pair of purple Rinnegan, as well as the Truth-Seeking Balls spinning behind him.
'One son awakened the Tenseigan, and the other awakened the Rinnegan...'
'Is my bloodline... really that outstanding?', Kaguya thought to herself.
After the brief surprise, her gaze quickly turned cold again. Her overwhelming chakra pressure slowly rose, and her long white hair drifted without any wind.
"Hagoromo, you actually dare to come back."
"It seems you've completely betrayed me.", Kaguya's voice was cold to the bone.
Hamura quickly adjusted his expression as well. He stepped to Kaguya's side and stared coldly at Hagoromo, the killing intent in his eyes completely undisguised.
In the plaza, the three stood in a triangular standoff. The air itself seemed to freeze, and a world-shaking battle was about to erupt.
A violent wind suddenly swept across the plaza.
Holding the Ame-no-Nuboko, Hagoromo's purple Rinnegan shone brilliantly while several Truth-Seeking Balls behind him spun at high speed.
He wasted no words. His figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he appeared above Kaguya and Hamura. The Ame-no-Nuboko stabbed downward with power that could destroy heaven and earth.
"Mother! Today I'll destroy the God Tree and bring all of this to an end!"
BOOM!!!
The spear tip collided with empty space, and a terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire plaza.
The ground cracked apart, and massive boulders were blasted into the air.
Kaguya fully opened her Byakugan. Her long white hair swelled like a living creature, instantly turning into countless sharp spikes that met the Ame-no-Nuboko head-on.
The moment they collided, Kaguya's hair was instantly shredded by the Ame-no-Nuboko.)
"You think you can kill your own mother?", Kaguya's voice was icy. Her immense chakra erupted like a tidal wave as she launched Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack from afar. The enormous invisible fist shot straight toward Hagoromo's chest.
Hagoromo's Rinnegan spun rapidly, accurately tracking its path. The Truth-Seeking Balls instantly gathered into a shield in front of him.
The two collided. The Truth-Seeking Ball shield shook violently but barely blocked the attack.
Beside them, Hamura's combat experience was no less than Kaguya's.
A ruthless gleam flashed through Hamura's eyes. He fully activated the Tenseigan, alternating between powerful repulsive and attractive forces as he closed in on Hagoromo's flank. Then he unleashed the Tenseigan's unique dojutsu, Yin Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
"Die, you nuisance!"
Hagoromo clenched his left hand. Yin-Yang Release surged forth, and a jet-black Yin-Yang Release beam shot forward, colliding head-on with Hamura's eye technique.
A violent explosion erupted in midair, and both of them were blown backward by the shockwave.
The battle entered its fiercest stage from the very beginning.
Hagoromo faced two opponents alone, yet he showed no sign of falling behind.
The Rinnegan combined with the ten-thousand-times version of Six Paths power allowed him to face Kaguya's nearly limitless chakra and Hamura's Tenseigan techniques at the same time.
As he swung the Ame-no-Nuboko, every strike carried enough force to split mountains and seas. Meanwhile, the Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into whips, blades, and shields, seamlessly switching between offense and defense with endless variations.
The longer Kaguya and Hamura fought, the more alarmed they became.
She had thought that even if Hagoromo gained new power, he couldn't possibly become this difficult to deal with.
But now it seemed that not only had her eldest son awakened the Rinnegan, he had also perfectly mastered both the Rinnegan and Yin-Yang Release. That power even made her feel a trace of caution.
Kaguya vaguely felt that someone was secretly helping Hagoromo.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have grown so quickly on his own.
She directed her suspicion toward Mount Myoboku.
Because among Earth's native powers, only Mount Myoboku had such ability.
The previous thousand cycles had already proven that Mount Myoboku definitely possessed the power to contend with the Otsutsuki.
"This child... has grown too fast."
Kaguya's heart grew heavy.
"Mother! Pull big brother into another dimension!", Hamura hurriedly shouted.
His battle sense was still working.
If he remembered correctly, Hagoromo still didn't have any spatial abilities.
As long as Hagoromo was exiled into another dimension, they would basically win.
His mother's battle sense wasn't reliable, so he had to act as her strategist and remind her.
When Kaguya heard this, she immediately agreed. Her long hair expanded again as she used Yomotsu Hirasaka, trying to drag Hagoromo into another dimension.
Hagoromo's Rinnegan focused, instantly seeing through the spatial fluctuations. He hurled the Ame-no-Nuboko, driving it directly into the entrance of Yomotsu Hirasaka and forcibly shattering the dimensional passage.
"Mother, those methods of yours are already useless against me now!"
Meanwhile, Hamura became more and more frustrated and frightened.
"Impossible... In the original story, the Sage of Six Paths wasn't this strong at this point! Rinnegan, Truth-Seeking Balls, Ame-no-Nuboko, and something still isn't right!"
Gritting his teeth, Hamura pushed the Tenseigan's power to its limit, continuously unleashing large-scale killing techniques such as Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, trying to disrupt Hagoromo's rhythm.
"I have to stall for time... Let Mother wear him down first! Or summon the Ten-Tails over!"
Hagoromo's gaze turned cold. Sensing Hamura's intention, he suddenly accelerated, and the Truth-Seeking Balls turned into several streaks of black light that shot straight at Hamura.
"Trying to run? Get past me first!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The three figures constantly crossed paths above the plaza, and every collision shook the mountains and the earth.
At this point in the battle, although Hagoromo was fighting two against one, he had faintly gained the upper hand thanks to the Rinnegan and the immense foundation of his all-powerful Six Paths abilities.
But Kaguya's chakra was nearly limitless, and Hamura's Tenseigan was also extremely troublesome. Ending the battle quickly was far from easy.
Kaguya's long hair danced wildly, and the killing intent in her Byakugan surged.
"Hagoromo, since you're determined to die... then I'll grant your wish!"
Her enormous chakra began gathering toward the God Tree as she prepared to awaken the Ten-Tails.
Seeing this, Hamura's eyes lit up with joy. He immediately widened the distance between them, preparing to cooperate with his mother in launching an even stronger offensive.
Hagoromo tightly gripped the Ame-no-Nuboko. His Rinnegan remained fixed on Kaguya, and his aura became increasingly sharp.
The God Tree shook violently, letting out a deep roar. The Ten-Tails' enormous body rapidly took shape, its savage form gradually revealing itself.
"Ten-Tails... come!", Kaguya shouted coldly.
Seeing this, Hagoromo narrowed his Rinnegan slightly. Instead of stopping her immediately, he paused and deliberately retreated a few steps, as though waiting for something.
He gripped the Ame-no-Nuboko tightly, his eyes locked onto the forming Ten-Tails, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When the Ten-Tails fully emerged and let out an earth-shaking roar toward Hagoromo before charging at him with its overwhelming pressure.
Hagoromo suddenly brought his hands together, palms pressed against each other, as the power of the Six Paths and the Rinnegan's eye power erupted to their absolute limits at the same time.
"Six Paths: Planetary Devastation!!!"
Along with his low shout, a terrifying repulsive force instantly spread outward from Hagoromo.
The clouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart. The earth trembled violently. Countless massive rocks, shattered stones, and even parts of the Ten-Tails' body were forcibly pulled upward.
A core sphere far larger and more terrifying than any previous Planetary Devastation rapidly took shape.
Kaguya's expression changed drastically. She sensed how abnormal this power was and tried to escape using Yomotsu Hirasaka, only to discover that the surrounding space had already been completely locked down by the power of the Six Paths.
"Hagoromo!!!"
Kaguya let out a furious roar. Her long white hair expanded wildly as she tried to tear open the seal, but it was already too late.
The Ten-Tails let out a painful howl as its enormous body was forcibly dragged toward the gigantic sphere of rock in the sky.
Kaguya herself was also caught by the irresistible force and pulled toward the core.
Rumble!!!
Countless giant rocks piled together layer upon layer, compressing madly. In just a few breaths, a terrifying rocky celestial body large enough to blot out the sky floated above the palace.
The Ten-Tails and Kaguya were sealed together inside this "satellite" created by the Six Paths Planetary Devastation.
Hamura's face turned pale as he muttered in shock, "Impossible... How can he use Planetary Devastation by himself!? Wasn't he supposed to need my cooperation to use it?!?"
