Sasuke was surprised. He hadn't expected Koshiki to be so open-minded. Was this guy not afraid of death at all?

Deity Gates activated. Koshiki's power was continuously stripped away and fused into Sasuke's body. At the same time, his Otsutsuki bloodline was strengthened once again. It even felt like the duration of his awakened ability, Absolute Time, had more than doubled.

After absorbing Koshiki, Sasuke felt a surge of energy, as if he were completely filled with motivation. This astonished Naruto, who was standing nearby. The power erupting from Sasuke's body was so terrifying that it spread out like a tangible shockwave.

After finishing the absorption of Koshiki's power, Sasuke turned to look at Naruto. Read full story at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

"It's over."

Naruto was stunned for a moment. "Yeah, it's over."

But at that moment, Sasuke felt a strange sensation.

Meanwhile, in Isshiki's Daikokuten space, the battle between him and Momoshiki had finally come to an end.

Momoshiki looked at Isshiki before him. "I didn't expect to be the one to win in the end."

A hint of helplessness was on Isshiki's face. "I certainly didn't expect it either. You consumed such a God Tree fruit, and Kinshiki willingly sacrificed his power to you."

"You are truly fortunate, Momoshiki."

Momoshiki sat beside Isshiki. "Yes, I suppose I am a fortunate member of the Otsutsuki clan."

Listening to Momoshiki's, Isshiki's expression suddenly turned grave. "Then, I'll be counting on you."

Momoshiki was taken aback. "What are you trying to say?"

Isshiki smiled. "I have no other requests. I only want you to promise me one thing: help me kill Kaguya."

"As long as Kaguya is killed! As long as that woman is dead, I will have no regrets."

Sitting there silently, Momoshiki thought for a few minutes before finally nodding. "I promise you."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Isshiki's face. "My power… use it well."

As he spoke, Isshiki's body suddenly changed, seeming to converge into a ball of energy, which then transformed into a chakra fruit that fell to the ground. Members of the Otsutsuki clan could transform themselves into chakra fruits. However, doing so meant giving up oneself, giving up everything.

Momoshiki picked up the chakra fruit and held it in his hand. "To think that the most selfish one of all would make such a great sacrifice in the end."

He swallowed the chakra fruit in one gulp. Momoshiki's eyes snapped open, and a terrifying power erupted from within him. From his current foundation, Momoshiki underwent another astonishing transformation. He was like a completely different person.

In an instant, a terrifying storm swept out, and the fluctuations emanating from Momoshiki's body grew even more astonishing. His ocular power seemed to condense into a silver wave of light that continuously spread out from him.

"Is this the mature stage after awakening?" Momoshiki wondered, stunned.

In a daze, he seemed to understand why the Otsutsuki clan forbade infighting among its members. It turned out that the fastest way for an Otsutsuki to increase their power was to prey on their own kind. By defeating and devouring a fellow clansman, the speed of their power increase would be astonishing. It was no wonder the Otsutsuki were scattered in different parts of the universe, with vast distances between them. If they weren't far apart, encounters between multiple Otsutsuki would lead to civil war. To become stronger, members of the Otsutsuki clan would do anything.

Momoshiki felt his new power. In that moment, he even pinpointed Koshiki's fading presence. After Koshiki's presence disappeared, Momoshiki was stunned. Koshiki… is dead? And it seems he was also absorbed.

Although he hadn't personally witnessed Koshiki's death, Momoshiki now understood who his enemy was. It was… Sasuke Uchiha. This was his final enemy. If he defeated Sasuke, he would become the unprecedented, sole Otsutsuki. However, if he were defeated by Sasuke, the Otsutsuki clan would be annihilated.

But Momoshiki was no longer afraid.

With a single step, he appeared in another dimension. And in this space, only Sasuke remained.

Sasuke had been quietly waiting for the appearance of another Otsutsuki. But he hadn't expected it to be Momoshiki. According to Sasuke's calculations, Isshiki should have tried to kill Momoshiki, so the last one standing should have been Isshiki. It seemed his prediction was wrong. Apparently, the victor of their battle was Momoshiki.

What power did Momoshiki use to defeat Isshiki?

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from Momoshiki, he had become hundreds of times stronger, if not more. Compared to before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

"You've changed quite a bit," Sasuke said.

Momoshiki smiled. "Haven't you?"

"That's true." Sasuke looked at his own hands. He too was much stronger than before. Even if Momoshiki had grown stronger, it didn't matter.

"It seems that besides you, there are no other Otsutsuki left." As Sasuke said this, he paused. No. Besides Momoshiki, there is still Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya was still around, though he didn't know where she was now. And Kaguya had more or less defected to the ninja world, so she couldn't be considered part of the Otsutsuki faction.

Momoshiki looked at Sasuke. "Why do you protect the ninja world?"

Suddenly asked this question, Sasuke himself didn't quite know how to answer. But after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I… never thought about protecting the ninja world."

"Then if you don't want to protect the ninja world, why do you oppose our Otsutsuki clan and become such a mortal enemy?"

Sasuke smiled. "Actually… the reason is quite simple. Because I also want to become stronger."

Suddenly recalling Koshiki's words about the Otsutsuki existing in another form, Sasuke now understood his true meaning.

Sasuke looked up at Momoshiki. "I… perhaps on some level, I can also be considered a member of the Otsutsuki clan. And the most terrifying kind of Otsutsuki at that."

"My path to becoming stronger is to devour other Otsutsuki."

Hearing this, Momoshiki was stunned. "The legendary evil Otsutsuki… is you?"

Legend? Sasuke was curious. "What kind of legend?"

Momoshiki frowned. "A very old legend of the Otsutsuki clan. There was once a terrifying Otsutsuki who devoured all the members of the clan, leaving only a few behind."

"That evil Otsutsuki possessed a terrifying ability that could nullify the dojutsu of others, and even a horrifying ocular power that could strip others of their strength."

Huh? Sasuke was suddenly shocked. Why does that sound like he's talking about Deity Gates? Doesn't my Deity Gates do exactly what he described?

"You seem surprised. What is it?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Nothing. There's no point in talking so much. Let's begin."

"After I deal with you, all problems will be solved. Likewise, if you deal with me, you will become the strongest being."

As Sasuke spoke, he raised a hand, and five portals materialized behind him.
