Jigen stepped out from inside.
The cracks on the black patch over his abdomen had mostly been repaired, though fine fissures could still be seen around the edges.
Amado seemed to know Jigen would come.
He merely pointed at the collector beside him.
Jigen picked up the collector and wiped away the bloodstains on it.
He lightly licked it with the tip of his tongue, then slowly closed his eyes.
"The purest Ōtsutsuki bloodline. Though it has yet to mature, it is already the finest vessel."
Jigen sighed. When he opened his eyes, they held surprise, relief, and the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish.
Amado reminded him from the side, "Your current strength is a little lacking."
He was not gloating. He was merely stating a fact.
It had been easy for Senyo to cripple Jigen's body, but recovery would not be so easy for Jigen.
Judging from Toneri's current state, he possessed the Tenseigan and was no weakling.
It would be somewhat difficult for Jigen to obtain this vessel.
"Not your concern."
"Focus on your experiments."
After leaving those words behind, Jigen opened a space-time portal again and vanished.
"Heh..."
Amado unhurriedly poured himself a cup of coffee and slowly drank it.
After finishing the coffee, he walked into an inner room.
A corpse lay on the bed inside, with the standard appearance of an Ōtsutsuki Clan member.
But if an Ōtsutsuki Clan member died, they would certainly turn to ash.
Thus, this Ōtsutsuki body could not be classified as a corpse.
Amado said nothing, merely thinking to himself:
[This planet is far too lively.]
[No matter. I have only recovered a small portion of my memories. I still need some time.]
A slow, deep voice sounded in Amado's ears.
[Let them fight.]
[Yes.]
