Chapter 258: Cooperation — Don't Let Sargeras Know

Otsutsuki Kaguya's saying this was actually after careful thought—why?

First, the opponent's strength is great; whether it's that blue giant or this guy in front of me, they can easily defeat me.

Their internal energy level is absolutely not lower than hers; she knows her own combat power—she can crush those weaker than her, even peers or those slightly weaker.

With enough combat experience, anyone can knock her down; in short, although she's strong, she's not a fighter type.

Kaguya is very worried about one thing—that the other side will abandon her after using her, and they know the Otsutsuki clan cultivates God Trees.

And not knowing the specific cultivation methods or knowledge of the God Tree, if they mastered those, then I, as an Otsutsuki, would be like a huge nutrient for them, and they could discard or even kill me at any time.

So he must establish a guarantee to protect his own life, so he won't be easily taken out by the enemy.

"You want to build a more intimate relationship? Don't tell me you want to marry me." Luode asked.

"Build a more intimate cooperative relationship! Isn't the intimate relationship between a man and a woman just that? But honestly, for some strong individuals, even ordinary mortal couples, the marital relationship isn't that intimate."

Otherwise divorce wouldn't exist in this world; even in Greek mythology, the god king Zeus often cheats! Luode doesn't think Kaguya is referring to that aspect, and of course, if she wants to throw herself at him, he'll gladly accept—after all, Kaguya looks pretty good.

"If you're willing! Our two families can marry into each other; anyway, we need to establish some relationship for me to trust you." Kaguya said.

Luode hearing this gave Kaguya a surprised look—no way! Is this girl really that naive? It shouldn't be! If it were the original anime's sweet-and-innocent Kaguya, it would be understandable.

"When you first came to Earth, wasn't it because you didn't want to be sacrificed, and you even sneak-attacked Otsutsuki Isshiki?"

After all, when the stakes are high enough, such verbal agreements aren't reliable—doesn't Kaguya understand that?

"I have no descendants to marry you with, and besides, you probably have no living heirs either? Don't tell me you want to marry using those two little imps I sealed away, or that monster in your sleeve?" Luode said.

Although he has many women, it's likely because his life level has risen, so far Luode has no descendants—none of his several women have shown any reaction.

And even if he had descendants, I wouldn't look up to Naruto Uzumaki or Sasuke Uchiha; as for that Black Zetsu thing, don't disgust me, okay? "What does that mean? I am the son of the mother." Hearing this, Black Zetsu immediately became unwilling.

"Black Zetsu! Don't speak, just stay put for me!"

"I also have no descendants; those two guys are merely reincarnations of my grandson's chakra! So the marriage I speak of is between you and me."

Cultivating a God Tree takes a millennium; otherwise, the resulting chakra fruit would be defective.

So we have plenty of time to get to know each other; of course, during this period you must protect me.

"Or we gather enough Ten-Tails seeds, then go to other universes to plant the God Tree, temporarily avoiding the Otsutsuki family." Kaguya said.

"Just a verbal agreement—that won't do, but the God Tree fruit's maturation takes a millennium."

So she has plenty of time to fully understand this man, or rather to evade the Otsutsuki family.

She wants to use his power to leave this universe and completely escape the family's pursuit.

Being enemies with the Otsutsuki clan, she never considered this; before it was forced, but now if she can run, Kaguya would rather flee.

"I roughly understand what you mean—you want me to take you out of this universe, right? You don't want to stay here anymore." Luode asked.

Kaguya is still very afraid of the Otsutsuki clan! Before there was no way, but now that I've appeared, it actually gives her hope—by crossing universes she can escape the Otsutsuki's pursuit! The Otsutsuki clan indeed possesses unimaginable power, especially in the Boruto storyline with Ada, who even rewrote the entire Earth's cognition.

Moreover, it's not just simple memory tampering; it's a perfect reality rewrite, akin to a god's omnipotent power.

"Exactly! We'll marry first, and after the first chakra fruit matures, I will offer it to you."

"After that I will tell you the specific cultivation method of the God Tree, and then tell you a method for mass-producing Otsutsuki clan members." Kaguya said.

Ordinary marital relations are certainly unreliable, but all she needs is time and to go to other universes or worlds! This relationship is merely an initial small contract guaranteeing both sides! The Otsutsuki clan also has a very special secret technique! "Otsutsuki people! Aren't you not normally born? Is there any other way to produce Otsutsuki?" Luode asked, slightly surprised.

"Reproduction between sexes is merely the most basic primitive method; we are already a cosmic race."

"Nature has mastered other ways; this lowly reproduction method has long been eliminated, we have other reproduction methods that can create new clan members." Kaguya said.

Upon hearing this, Luode fell into thought; in Boruto, Isshiki once said that if the seal inside one's body is released 80%, it equals an Otsutsuki and can be devoured by the God Tree.

Moreover, when Isshiki died, he once told Toud to plant the God Tree, consume its fruit, and become a new Otsutsuki.

Then consume planets to evolve until becoming a god.

So creating new Otsutsuki is possible, and we can also transform other races into Otsutsuki members.

The simplest way should be to consume the chakra fruit; chakra is the most crucial thing for the Otsutsuki clan.

"Then tell me, how to raise a new Ten-Tails, that is, the God Tree seed." Luode asked.

"I don't know; this is known only to the highest-ranking Otsutsuki. We members dispatched to plant the God Tree merely receive a God Tree seed." Kaguya said.

The Ten-Tails, or rather the God Tree seed, is the most crucial thing; without it, Otsutsuki cannot cultivate a God Tree.

"I accept your conditions; if you dare not stay in this world, I can send you to another universe."

"But not now; however, I will find you a suitable universe." Luode said.

There's no way; cultivating a God Tree theoretically means draining a planet's life force—something Azeroth or Sargeras would definitely dislike.

Before it didn't matter, but now Sargeras has restored the power of Order; he is both the commander of the Burning Legion and a Titan.

If Luode dares to plant God Trees throughout the Azeroth universe, consuming planetary power, then this act would be hardly different from that of the Old Gods.

Sargeras would be the first to come kill him.

When I previously brought Sargeras to the Marvel universe, Luode had already confirmed this. Regarding the existence of planet-devouring beings, even if a planet lacks a world soul, Sargeras is still strongly opposed.

Azeroth's attitude is fine; as long as the planet lacks a world soul, she doesn't care much.

But abandoning the God Tree, Luode is unwilling, because this is currently the only chance to let him surpass the Titans.

Achieving something on par with Azeroth and Sargeras, accepting their two forces' infusion, he will never surpass them.

As for the God Tree, I won't plant it in Azeroth's universe; I'll even hide it from you and plant it in other universes.

As for whether the Burning Legion will leak it, heh!

Archimonde, frankly, is also a guy seeking ultimate power; as long as Luode gives him some benefits.

For example, sharing chakra fruit with him in the future could bring both Archimonde and the egg—these two guys in the original plot both wanted to surpass Sargeras, one wanting to devour the Sunwell, the other the World Tree.

Our comrade Archimonde would be very happy to conceal this matter; anywhere, any faction, is not monolithic.

"I understand, I agree to your proposal, welcome aboard."

"A wise choice; then please continue to guide me in the future."

After friendly discussion, Kaguya and Luode reached a cooperation agreement; they first tried to collect as many Ten-Tails God Tree seeds as possible.

When one's strength is sufficient, return to this world again and obtain from the senior members of the Otsutsuki Clan the method of producing god tree seeds.

After the cooperation conditions were met, everyone began to clean up the aftermath, and Akemende directly unleashed a Death Finger, instantly killing the First Hokage, reducing the opponent completely to nothing.

"How is this possible?! Hashirama!!" Uchiha Ban widened his eyes, saying in disbelief, his lifelong rival had been so easily killed by the enemy.

The death will just displayed by the clone—you wouldn't think it's the real thing, would you?

On the other side, Kaido also instantly arrived beside Uchiha Ban, then smashed his Susanoo with a spiked club, and then sent him flying.

Luode then used a spell to directly trap Uchiha Ban, then extracted his Reincarnation Eye and temporarily sealed it.

After killing the First Hokage, Akemende directly used a Death Hand, wiping out all the fighting ninjas.

The commander of the Burning Legion, Akemende, displayed his unparalleled power to everyone.

Afterwards, Luode opened a mirror space, then subdued Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

These two little guys were very in sync as soon as they came out, and together they reached their hands toward Luode, wanting to activate the sealing technique.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Luode's combat experience was far richer than Huiye's.

What's more, besides Luode, there was also Tongmu Huiye Ji, Akemengde, and even Kaido.

Xuanhuo Mingren was subdued by Luode personally, then that pair of reincarnation eyes was dug out, and afterwards the person was handed over to Huiye Ji.

Yuzhibo Zuozhu was then controlled by Akemengde using evil energy techniques, after which the Eternal Mangekyo and Samsara Eye were dug out.

The only two surviving Yuzhibo clan members in this ninja world were one Yuzhibo Ban and one Yuzhibo Zuozhu; these two guys were later to be used as breeding tools.

As breeding tools, they don't need eyes.

"I will begin to take back all my power; this world is mine."

Huiye Ji finished speaking and also began her own spiritual energy recovery operation: first, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path that had absorbed the seven tailed beasts was taken out; then she found the Eight-Tails jinchuriki for assistance, and extracted the Yin-Yang Nine-Tails from within the Fourth Hokage and Xuanhuo Mingren.

Allow the Ten Tails to fully recover and transform into the Divine Tree state.

After restoring her power to its peak, Huiye Ji activated Infinite Moon Reading, hypnotically binding all of humanity on the entire planet, and then began to recover spiritual energy.

Tongmu Huiye was recovering her own power, while Luode also came before Akemengde.

"Commander Akemengde, I have a matter I wish to discuss with you."

"Please speak, Commander Luode."

"This world has a kind of very special power; there is a very special kind of plant called the Divine Tree; I think you should have just seen it." Luode pointed outside and said, referring to the towering giant tree summoned by Tongmu Huiye Ji.

"It is indeed strong, but this thing seems to be devouring the planet's life force; Lord Sagelasi would not like this." Akemengde said with deep meaning.

"I know, but the Divine Tree, when it bears spiritual energy fruit, will condense the planet's life force and bring us unimaginable power." Luode spoke.

"If Lord Sagelasi finds out about this, he will be very angry."

"Then why don't we just keep Lord Sagelasi from knowing about it?"

"We merely invaded a special world and brought back some special races, that's all." Luode said, laughing.

"Hehe! Will you share some of this power with me, Commander Luode?" Akemengde asked.

"That's natural." Luode spoke.

"I understand; let's chat privately later." After saying that, Akemengde turned and left.

"Commander Luode, you judge people well! I originally pledged allegiance to Sagelasi for great power, but although I've served him for over twenty thousand years, I haven't become much stronger compared to twenty thousand years ago."

After seeing Akemengde off, Luode once again came before Tongmu Huiye Ji; next, the two of them should go tidy up the hidden formation. (End of chapter)
