Momoshiki actually possessed a Divine Art as well, one called Future Sight!
The future he saw might not come to pass with absolute certainty, but there was a ninety-nine percent chance it would.
And through that Divine Art, Future Sight, just before his death, Momoshiki had seen his own fate.
The end of that fate was being devoured by Otsutsuki Yamai and becoming yet another stepping stone on her path to godhood.

Thus, through Future Sight, he had also seen his only path to survival.
That was to imprint Karma onto Boruto and strike a deal to cooperate with Soji through Boruto.

And this was perfectly reflected in Momoshiki.
Therefore, having seen his future fate and found his only route to survival, Momoshiki naturally would not foolishly abandon it.

So, when his life and death were at stake, he naturally would not act recklessly.
At this moment, however, Soji still knew nothing about this.
He had always thought Momoshiki simply wanted to join forces with him to deal with Otsutsuki Yamai.

It could be said that he had placed all his hopes of survival on Soji.
That was also the main reason Momoshiki had been so dedicated to teaching Boruto.
Thus, even though the Karma on Boruto's body had now been one hundred percent released, Momoshiki had never dared entertain
