Lying on the ground, Shibai's eyes were wide open, staring intently at Sasuke.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible! How could you defeat me so easily?"

Shibai couldn't understand why. He had clearly awakened and obtained the incredibly powerful dojutsu, Takamagahara, which could erase all attacks. Yet, in this situation, he had been defeated so quickly. Logically, his opponent shouldn't have been able to defeat him so simply! Absolutely… absolutely impossible!

Sasuke looked at Shibai lying on the ground. Even Sasuke himself was a bit surprised; it was as if Shibai had no power to resist him at all. This feeling had been growing stronger since the battle began.

Suddenly, Shibai looked at Sasuke and saw the light shimmering in his eyes. In that instant, Shibai was horrified. "You… you've also… also awakened?"

Hearing this, Sasuke was surprised. What did he mean by awakened? Seeing Sasuke's confused expression, Shibai let out a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Hahaha! To think… I awakened, but you awakened as well. To think I would ultimately lose to someone like you!"

"I went through hell and back to awaken, yet you did it so easily. On what grounds… on what grounds!"

Sasuke still didn't quite understand what Shibai was talking about. What awakening? He hadn't felt anything particularly strange. He only felt as if his body had a continuous, inexhaustible supply of power, and his ocular energy was so abundant it felt like it would never run out. Sasuke didn't know why he felt this way and had just assumed he had improved. But now it seemed it was more than just simple improvement. This was a complete qualitative change.

Thinking of this, Sasuke suddenly looked at Shibai. "What is this 'awakening' you speak of?"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't even know what awakening was, Shibai felt even more pathetic. To think he had lost to someone like this!

"Hmph! You half-breed. As expected of someone who isn't a pure Otsutsuki. But to think that even a half-breed like you could awaken… you are truly detestable!"

After cursing Sasuke, Shibai seemed to let out a breath, feeling much better. He looked at Sasuke.

"The so-called awakening is a special state for the Otsutsuki clan. Only an awakened Otsutsuki is truly qualified to become a god. And for a half-breed like you to be able to awaken the power of the Otsutsuki clan!"

"It's infuriating! Your very existence is an insult to the Otsutsuki clan!" Shibai said, his gaze filled with disdain.

However, Sasuke seemed to understand. Although he wasn't of pure Otsutsuki blood, by using the power of Deity Gates, he had indirectly obtained pure Otsutsuki power. Furthermore, he had recently absorbed Urashiki, who at the time was perhaps just one step away from awakening. He had basically inherited Urashiki's fortune.

Thinking of this, Sasuke smiled.

"Awakening!"

"Hmm, this awakened power is quite good."

Sasuke felt the now endless supply of ocular power. He had never lacked strength, but he had always been limited by his ocular energy. Now, with this replenishment, it was as if a door to a whole new world had been opened for him.

"Absolute Time!" Sasuke suddenly said.

Hearing this, Shibai was startled. "What? Absolute Time?"

Sasuke smiled. "This is my awakened power, or rather, my awakened dojutsu. Absolute Time. Within this time, the consumption of my ocular power will not have any effect on me."

Hearing this, Shibai was shocked. What a terrifying dojutsu. For others, such a power might not seem very useful, but for a monster like Sasuke who possessed multiple dojutsu, it was a super cheat. Sasuke already had many powerful ocular techniques, and with the blessing of Absolute Time, his power would be elevated to a demonic level.

"Why did a bastard like you have to obtain such a godly technique!" Shibai's eyes were filled with regret, but Sasuke had already begun to make his move.

Deity Gates activated!

With Deity Gates at full power and using Time Acceleration, Shibai's body visibly dissipated. All of his power was absorbed into Sasuke's body.

The dojutsu, Takamagahara. The power to erase everything, a pure power of destruction. This dojutsu now belonged to Sasuke. He had already mastered so many ocular techniques that a dojutsu like Takamagahara was merely the icing on the cake.

Sasuke raised a hand towards the distant Koshiki, who was still attacking Naruto. The terrifying power brewing in his hand instantly vanished.

In that moment, Koshiki was startled and looked up at Sasuke.

"That guy…"

He felt Shibai's presence disappear. Where is Shibai? Even if he lost and died, his presence shouldn't just vanish! His body should have been left behind! But now there was no trace of Shibai, and Koshiki's expression turned grim. He looked at Sasuke and felt a familiar aura from him, an aura that came from Shibai. This guy… he absorbed Shibai's power?

Koshiki was shocked. He never thought Sasuke could also absorb the power of others. This was difficult for him to accept. He had originally planned to have Shibai form a chakra fruit for him to consume upon his defeat, but now the tables had turned completely.

"…Where are you looking?" Naruto shouted, smashing his fist towards Koshiki. Just as Koshiki raised his hand, his chakra erupting, it suddenly vanished.

Crack!

Naruto's punch landed, breaking Koshiki's neck. He was sent flying.

In that moment, Koshiki was stunned, and Naruto was surprised too. He hadn't expected Koshiki to suddenly stop blocking his attack. What just happened to him?

The injured Koshiki slowly stood up and looked at Sasuke, who had suddenly appeared before him. "You obtained Shibai's power, didn't you?" Koshiki said suddenly.

Sasuke smiled at him. "What do you think?"

Koshiki sneered. "It seems you are even more terrifying than I imagined, to be able to steal Shibai's power like that."

Now, Koshiki had to admit that he was no match for Sasuke. And he never would be. This guy had obtained Shibai's power, stealing what was originally his. To defeat such a Sasuke was nothing but a dream.

"You win." Koshiki looked at Sasuke, seemingly ready to give up the fight.

Seeing him like this, Sasuke was a bit confused. "Are you preparing to surrender?"

Hearing this, Koshiki nodded. "What? You don't accept surrenders?"

Sasuke said, "Even if you surrender, I won't let you live."

"I know." Koshiki smiled. "I hope you can make good use of my abilities."

As he spoke, Koshiki suddenly broke into an exaggerated smile. "Sasuke Uchiha, you want to eliminate the Otsutsuki clan, but in a sense, the Otsutsuki clan will never truly perish… hahaha… that is the purpose of the Otsutsuki clan! As long as we don't perish, the form of our existence doesn't matter…"
