Hancock's Strength

Inside Rōran's Research Base, Vegapunk closed his eyes, sensing the data transmitted by the Quantum Chip.

"Has it already taken root in that world? It seems this time travel was quite successful. As long as the connection between the traveler and the original world is severed, and the repulsion between them is resolved, it should be a success!"

"It seems that I myself can also go and take a look at the Parallel World!"

Vegapunk calculated that the tasks he still needed to complete were, firstly, to control the Daimyo of the other three countries. With the advancement of their science and technology, and the control and infiltration of the other Three Great Shinobi Villages, this task was no longer too difficult.

Next, the research will focus on the Giant Tenseigan. This won't take long, since Vegapunk already knows a lot about the Otsutsuki Clan's genes. The Tenseigan is just another evolutionary direction for the Otsutsuki.

In reality, the Parallel World is not of much significance to Vegapunk's research; its greatest use is to provide more Chakra energy. Therefore, Vegapunk is not in a hurry.

A week later, Vegapunk finally figured out the secrets of the Great Tenseigan. Given the same amount of Chakra, he could completely recreate the Tenseigan.

Using the Tenseigan's Chakra, Vegapunk once again transformed and injected energy into Hancock, who had already absorbed Kaguya Otsutsuki's power. Chakra itself has the ability to modify genes, and Vegapunk had mastered all its secrets, directly strengthening Hancock once again.

Having inherited the foundation of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hancock absorbed the energy of the Great Tenseigan much faster this time, completely absorbing it in just one or two days, and even mastering all the power of the Tenseigan.

After the modification was completed, Hancock did not immediately test her powers. Instead, she looked at her silver-white hair and sea-blue eyes in the mirror for a while before pursing her lips.

"This look is quite pretty, but I feel I looked better in my old form! Of course... it's still much better than the Rinnegan and Byakugan!"

Well, after saying that, Hancock's hair turned black again, and her originally blue eyes returned to their original color. This was an ability that Vegapunk specially added to her, allowing her to switch between various forms without affecting the exertion of her power.

Otherwise, white hair and blue eyes are fine, but things like the Byakugan, the Rinnegan in her forehead, and the horns growing on her head are things that Hancock finds extremely repulsive. In her eyes, those things clearly ruin her perfect appearance.

"Alright, can the Tenseigan and your original Chakra power be fused?" Vegapunk asked after watching Hancock look in the mirror for a while.

"Great! Your research is perfect, dear. Both abilities have increased significantly after being combined!"

As she spoke, twelve black Truth-Seeking Orb appeared behind Hancock. With a thought, the Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into Light Orb. As Hancock reached out, the Light Orb condensed into a Lightsaber, which she held in her hand.

Hancock did not wield her Lightsaber, but the energy level within it was so high that the alarms throughout the base began to sound.

The power of the Tenseigan is in no way inferior to that of Rinnegan; in fact, it is more specialized in destruction and has a higher level of direct combat power. Most importantly, the Tenseigan is more beautiful and better suits Hancock's taste.

Hancock, holding the Lightsaber, was eager to try it out. However, she could also feel how powerful the Lightsaber in her hand, which was formed from the 12 Tenseigan- Truth-Seeking Orb, was. If she were to cleave it in two, not only the Research Base, but probably the entire Wind Country would be split in two.

Vegapunk curled his lip and used his Magnetic Field Ability to open a Wormhole. "Let's try it on other planets!"

The Ninja World is similar to Earth, with a Solar System and several planets. Vegapunk's Wormhole reached a planet roughly the same location as Earth and Mars.

Hancock's eyes lit up as she stepped onto the planet. After absorbing Kaguya Otsutsuki's genes, she also gained the ability to survive in space.

As for Vegapunk, he used his Magnetic Field Ability to create a small ecosystem around himself. It's unlikely he could survive in space for an extended period, but he could probably last for ten or twenty minutes.

The two arrived on Mars in this alien world. Hancock's eyes shone brightly, and with a casual slash, her golden Lightsaber instantly transformed into an endless curtain of light, cutting down on the earth.

Without a sound or even a tremor, a tiny yet deep crack appeared on the earth, stretching to the horizon, and then it began to tremble slightly.

A rumbling sound echoed deep within the earth. Vegapunk's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly manipulated the magnetic force to try to fly into the sky. However, Hancock reached out and grabbed him, directly moving him into the space of the Heavenly Realm Space.

The Amenominaka Space contains the machine originally left behind by Vegapunk, which can observe the outside world. After Vegapunk finished adjusting it, what he saw was that the outside world had become a huge canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, a faint red light was faintly visible, which was the magma in the Earth's core erupting from the ground.

"This... must be at least tens of thousands of meters high, right?" Vegapunk said with some surprise in his eyes.

This planet in front of us is not a man-made meteorite like the moon. To penetrate into the magma layer, it must be at least several kilometers deep. The deeper you go, the more terrifying its strength becomes due to the compression of gravity. If this were on the moon, one cut would probably split the entire moon in two.

Then, he began to zoom out, trying to see how far the slash actually went. However, even as he zoomed out until the earth itself began to curve, he still couldn't see the end of the slash. Instead, he saw the entire planet's environment, which seemed to have undergone tremendous changes because of the slash. Countless volcanoes erupted, and terrifying storms swept across everything he could see.

If this strike were to actually land in the Wind Country, there probably wouldn't be many survivors left. It could even affect the entire Wind Country's ecosystem, and it would be quite normal for six or seven tenths of the population to die.

Fortunately, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Sword, which combines 12 Truth-Seeking Orb, is a powerful move for Hancock. After using it, it takes at least one or two hours to reassemble the 12 Truth-Seeking Orb.

If there were no restrictions and it was just a casual move, Hancock could probably slice a planet to pieces in an hour or two. Now, it would take at least seven or eight months to completely destroy a planet.

"However... this is truly terrifying... the powerful members of the Otsutsuki Clan probably all possess this ability to destroy a star single-handedly."

Seeing the scene before him, Vegapunk was secretly on guard. Although Hancock could be considered special, in terms of combat talent and combat skills alone, she far surpassed the naturally powerful Otsutsuki Clan who only knew how to use their bloodlines. Moreover, she had Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Great Rinnegan, two stepping stones that laid a solid foundation for her. Even within the Otsutsuki Clan, she should be considered a top-tier powerhouse.

But think about it, the Otsutsuki Clan grows trees and eats fruit everywhere. If they eat one, two, three, or four, they might not be able to beat Hancock. If they eat seventeen or eighteen, or twenty or thirty, then Hancock would be no match for them. If they really eat hundreds or thousands, they could probably smash an ordinary planet to pieces with one slap!

"In a dozen or so years, those Otsutsuki will probably be coming. Scientific advancements can indeed quickly level out the millions of years of evolution that the Otsutsuki took to develop, but the energy involved cannot be omitted..."

No matter how powerful Vegapunk is, he can't break the law of conservation of mass. Even if he can develop genes that are ten or a hundred times stronger than those of the Otsutsuki, he still needs far more Chakra energy than the Otsutsuki to drive them.

Otherwise, like that Otsutsuki Toneri, who reverted to a pure-blooded Otsutsuki but couldn't even grow eyes due to insufficient energy, he would probably have died long ago if it weren't for the energy support of the Great Rinnegan.

"However... although we can't plant trees everywhere, we can go to Parallel World and seize the fruits of other Otsutsuki! To put it bluntly, the Otsutsuki's path is no different from the so-called cannibalism; each Otsutsuki can actually be regarded as a fruit of the God Tree..."

"Even everyone who possesses Chakra can be seen as the ultimate, degraded version of the God Tree's fruit... Everyone can be called food!"

Among all the Otsutsuki, there must be one Otsutsuki who far exceeds their limits and leads them, because the ultimate successor of this cannibalistic school is someone who is close to the ultimate producer. He alone can occupy more than 90% of the energy of the entire clan, and the rest can only eat his leftovers.

Although, according to Boruto, a certain God of Ōtsutsuki is either dead or has left this dimension, the exact number of powerful individuals within the Otsutsuki remains unknown.

"We still have nearly twenty or thirty years, which is enough time for us to travel to a large number of Parallel World and obtain more energy!"

After Hancock's test ended, Vegapunk immediately accelerated his plan. With the moon in the sky as his eyes and the fully developed space technology, he silently replaced all the high-ranking officials and nobles from various countries.

After that, Vegapunk set his sights on Jinchuriki —he didn't want to disrupt the current international situation, so he wanted to see how to get his hands on those Jinchuriki without affecting the situation.

The fact that the Major Ninja Villages are fighting each other without breaking apart is extremely beneficial to his technological development. Vegapunk only needs to provide a rough outline of the technology tree, and those ninja villages will strive to develop it to perfection.

For example, the Chakra Armor of the Lightning Country has now developed to the third generation, the Iron Puppet of the Sand Village have evolved to have separation and fusion functions, and various Nintaijutsu are now commonplace in the Five Great Nations. The Water Country is currently developing a special Animal Gene Modification fluid that fuses the Tailed Beast Chakra...

Letting Vegapunk conduct the research himself might be faster, better, and more comprehensive than theirs, but Vegapunk is still just one person. He also needs to research how to leave the Ninja World, and even with the ability of Shadow Clone, he feels he can't manage it all.

In that case, it would be better to outsource this part of the research, so that Vegapunk can simply receive the results.

Of course, this has also led to a consequence: the high-end combat power of the Major Ninja Villages is constantly expanding. Almost every ninja village has nearly double-digit Kage Level powerhouses, and the Kage of each village is already close to the Super-Kage Level.

Counting down further, the strength of almost all ninjas has increased by one level. Apart from the students of the Ninja Academy, there are almost no ninjas with the so-called Genin strength in several ninja villages. The weakest are standard Chunin strength, and the stronger ones are Special Jonin and Jonin. It can be said that the combat power of any ninja village now is basically equivalent to the total combat power of all ninja villages a few years ago.

"With this kind of fighting strength, even if we bring out the Akatsuki, they'd probably just get ganged up on and beaten to a pulp by the Major Ninja Villages!"

"Looks like I need to strengthen the Akatsuki... no, I should just take complete control of the Akatsuki, steal all the Tailed Beast, and then just let them disappear!"

"Hmm... Rather than letting them disappear, it's better to give those ninja villages a final deterrent... Okay, let's do it this way!"

After finalizing the plan, Vegapunk took Hancock back to the moon to observe the Rain Country.

Although the Great Tenseigan no longer exists on the moon, this has never been a problem for Vegapunk. The electronic telescope he developed can see through layers of earth no more than 100 meters deep and, with its internal computer analysis system, can find anyone in the entire Ninja World.

"It was well hidden... We found it, so it must be the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

When Nagato summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, a large amount of his life force was also drained by it, and to this day, he still has a lot of Black Receiver stuck in his back.

These Black Receiver served as a means for Nagato to communicate with the Gedo Mazo, so he wasn't too far from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Sure enough, Mino quickly found Nagato himself a few kilometers away from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"The Akatsuki has only recruited Sasori and Kakuzu right now! Subtract the Black and White Zetsu and Obito Uchiha that I captured, and that leaves only four people?"

"With such strength facing the ever-growing number of other major ninja villages, their Jinchuriki and synthesize the Ten-Tails is probably more like a pipe dream than a realistic plan!"

Although Vegapunk did not target the Akatsuki, his own actions were like a giant apple falling on a chessboard, leaving the unfortunate Akatsuki in a completely predicament.
