Chen and Momoshiki

Stay calm. Don't let his abilities intimidate you! This inferior creature may possess powers like Lord Urashiki of our clan!

But he was ultimately nothing more than flesh and blood. If I wanted to, I could crush him in an instant...

Momoshiki warned himself inwardly.

What he did not know was that Chen's thoughts were the complete opposite.

In my original plan, Momoshiki was meant to be fertilizer for the Divine Tree—fed to the Ten-Tails when cultivating a Chakra Fruit in the future.

Encounter him, keep him. That had been the original plan.

But the technique [Annihilation of the First Principle] had shown me more possibilities.

Letting Momoshiki off here, allowing him to bring about certain events, then using my abilities to maximize the benefits afterward... that might be the better solution.

—Divine Pursuit.

Just as Chen was considering letting Momoshiki go for the time being, Momoshiki turned into a streak of purple lightning and charged straight at him!

As he rushed in, he swung the Crimson Crescent Blade, Wave God, in his hand and unleashed Wild Martial Fusion's beheading technique at Chen!

That was right... speed conquered all!

Against anyone else, he might really have succeeded, because Divine Pursuit was truly fast. Kinshiki's Divine Pursuit alone had forced Sasuke to use Amenotejikara to evade.

After absorbing Kinshiki, Momoshiki's Divine Pursuit was as fast as lightning!

Only reflexes on the level of the Yellow Flash could probably evade it head-on.

Chen did not possess the Yellow Flash's reflexes, but he had Omodaru's Personal Barrier.

"Whoosh!" The crescent blade that had sliced to within a foot of him slowed to no more than Gekko Hayate's sword speed!

"Foolish."

Chen leaned back to evade the blade, and an Amaterasu-no-Mikoto focused through his right eye annihilated Momoshiki's crescent blade into red glimmers!

"What!?" As Momoshiki recoiled in shock, Chen's Kusanagi Sword, wreathed in Purple Lightning, left its sheath!

"Crack!" Momoshiki's thick left horn was severed at the base by the blade's light, spiraling into the sky amid crackling electricity!

—Toyomiketsunomikoto!

Before Momoshiki could steady himself, a Susanoo fist descended from above at an angle, silver radiance trailing from the cut at its wrist as it smashed viciously into him!

Boom!

"Argh...!" Even after consuming Kinshiki and gaining a body like diamond, Momoshiki was still struck with agonizing pain throughout his organs by the Susanoo fist bone, which rivaled meteor speed!

Momoshiki, maybe you could still fight at full strength, but after Uncle Madara wore you down this badly, why aren't you running? Are you waiting for me to hand you an award certificate? Is this the dignity of a Person from the Heavens?

Chen followed Momoshiki's flying body, light flashing repeatedly from his right eye!

—Toyomiketsunomikoto: Meteor Fist Bone Barrage!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The second, third, fourth strikes... one after another, without even leaving him room to breathe, smashed into Momoshiki until his body was pinned into the ravaged earth!

"How can this inferior creature possess such..."

Chen landed on the ground.

"If you're not going to run, then fine. You're just in time for me to test the Rinnegan's abilities."

The outline of Chen's right pupil expanded, while the black dot at its center contracted. He clasped his hands before his chest and shouted, "Hah!"

—Chibaku Tensei!

"How outrageous...!" Momoshiki pushed away the rocks pressing down on him and was just about to stagger to his feet when cracks erupted through the surrounding earth, spreading nearly a hundred meters. Huge boulders and chunks of soil rose up and converged upon him, burying him within!

Upon the ruins of that Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, where the land had already sunk deeply, Chen forcibly created another star from leftover materials!

Then, the remnants of the Tengai Shinsei Madara had summoned earlier shattered and were drawn in, further expanding the celestial body's scale!

Boom! As the dust settled, the Chibaku Tensei floated beneath the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei above at the lift of Chen's hand.

"Oh?" Atop the Demonic Statue's head, Madara looked up at the stars, a pleased smile curling his lips. "Though its scale can only be considered ordinary, the highlight is that it used the target itself as the core of the Chibaku Tensei. To achieve this immediately after awakening the Rinnegan... the younger generation is truly formidable."

Chen had held back. With his current Chakra, if he had cast it seriously, he could have at least doubled the Chibaku Tensei's size.

That should be enough to make Momoshiki retreat, right?

"Roooooar... Inukai Kenmei!"

A thunderous roar rang out. Eight canine heads burst through the celestial body's barrier, spewing molten flames as they howled down at Chen...

"You reckless idiot..." Chen cursed with a smile.

Toyomiketsunomikoto, directly release Shikkotsurin Sage Mode!

"Buzz!" The Rinnegan's sclera changed from pale violet to dark purple, while the dark silver eyeshadow remained unchanged.

—Mizuha: Amaterasu-no-Mikoto!

"Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!"

Each sound marked one successful Amaterasu-no-Mikoto strike.

Mizuha could amplify the size of objects affected by Amaterasu-no-Mikoto, while Shikkotsurin Sage Mode amplified the frequency of its consecutive firing!

Under this machine-gun-like, airtight barrage, those dog heads rushed forward one after another, only to be annihilated into yellow-brown dust!

Not a single one came within ten meters of Chen!

Within the broken shell of the celestial body, Momoshiki's golden Byakugan fixed on Chen as some thought arose in his mind. "I've decided..."

The next instant, he burst down from the shattered celestial body. A dark red sphere condensed and expanded in his palm, crushing toward Chen with the force of raging waves!

"Momoshiki, are you really that reckless? Can't you see that you have no chance of winning now?" Chen frowned.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was simply renamed!

No matter how lofty a god's dignity was, Momoshiki seemed to be trying far too hard.

The thought Momoshiki had just formed was something even Chen could not anticipate!

Up until now, I, Otsutsuki Momoshiki, have plundered no fewer than ten planets. It is not as though I have never seen inferior creatures infused with my clan's power! But never have I seen anyone like him, someone who could wield my clan's power so perfectly with a mortal body! Never!

If I can make him my vessel and complete my reincarnation, there is no doubt my strength will reach an entirely new level!

Kaguya is a traitor to our clan.

But if a Chakra Fruit were placed before you, who could resist that temptation?

All of us rack our brains for evolution. All of us are slaves to Chakra!

The highest god of our clan, Otsutsuki Jishiki, has already ascended to a higher dimension. The vacant seat of supreme god is coveted by everyone!

I, Otsutsuki Momoshiki, have decided to gamble my future on this human!

I will lure him into killing me!

Then, at the moment of my death, I will imprint a [Karma] upon him!

As the dark red spiral closed in, Chen's brow furrowed deeply.

Something was definitely wrong...

—Mizuha: Amaterasu-no-Mikoto!

"Crack!" The dark red spiral was obliterated into a sky full of crimson motes by the light flowing through Chen's eyes!

Momoshiki's savage expression was revealed, along with the hand he desperately reached out!

His chest was wide open, enough for Chen to use Toyomiketsunomikoto to blast through him ten times in an instant.

Was this killing someone?

Everyone knew that when people were killed, they died.

But compared to killing Chen, Momoshiki looked more like he wanted to kill himself.

Chen's gaze darkened faintly. "I think I understand what you're planning."

In a flash of thought, his hand shot out like lightning and seized Momoshiki's wrist!

Then he abruptly raised his head and met Momoshiki's eyes. "You want to imprint Karma on me, don't you?"

"!!" Those words sent a chilling terror up Momoshiki's spine. He tried to pull his hand back and evade, but it was already too late.

"You can go ahead and try. See if you can do it."

Momoshiki, I have already used Annihilation of the First Principle to sever the causality between you and me.

You will never be able to establish causality between us through Karma!

As for why I reject your Karma so strongly...

Of course... because as an Otsutsuki, you are not strong enough!

"Crack!" A Susanoo blade charged with Toyomiketsunomikoto's Energy Storage pierced explosively through Momoshiki's abdomen in a lightning strike!

"Ughhhhh...!" Momoshiki screamed, his features twisting grotesquely, before he was sent flying away in a wretched state!

After landing, his mind shook violently.

"The Karma imprint failed? Impossible... Doesn't that mean I'll die? And die a futile, meaningless death?"

Chen walked toward Momoshiki with cold, measured steps.

Every step taken by Chen, this inferior creature, seemed to stomp upon the heart of Momoshiki, a Person from the Heavens.

Momoshiki felt a powerlessness that he had not even experienced when facing Madara!

Just what kind of being is this guy...? He knows the secret of my clan's Karma reincarnation. More than that, he saw through my intentions at a glance!

Expressionless, Chen raised his hand.

Heh, my life ends here!

Momoshiki resigned himself to fate, curling his lips into a smile.

Survival of the fittest; the victor ruled!

That was the creed by which he lived!

He had lost, so he had to accept the judgment of life and death!

"Human, tell me your name."

"Uchiha Chen."

"Good, I'll remember it, human!" Momoshiki said with a domineering smile. "You will carry the godslaying glory of defeating Otsutsuki Momoshiki and continue onward until the moment of destruction!"

This Momoshiki truly lived up to being Boruto's Peach Lama.

"Momoshiki, you truly do possess the bearing of one from the heavens."

Chen praised him as he aimed his palm at Momoshiki's face.

Just then, a white figure suddenly appeared above Chen.

"Sorry, but Little Momo can't die here."

The newcomer smiled frivolously and flung out the Crimson Crescent fishing rod in his hand!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Along the fishing rod's trajectory, countless red fishhooks rained down like a torrential storm!

—Ama-Suka Ryuusei Mei!

"Heh." Chen's lips actually curled upward at that moment.

"I was wondering how there could be no fisherman when the seas were this rough."
