Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, life energy continuously flowed into Otsutsuki Zero's body, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"The bioenergy in this world is truly abundant, far surpassing that of the previous world!"
Zero-Shiki ate Chakra Fruit before becoming Otsutsuki Yabai's guardian, but the energy contained in those fruits was incomparable to what he possesses now.
He has only absorbed a small portion of the energy through Infinite Tsukuyomi, yet the benefits he has received have already far exceeded his expectations.
Senga's heart tightened. If Zero continued to absorb this, regardless of how much Zero's power would surge, Gion and the others might not be able to withstand it.
The most important thing right now is to defeat Otsutsuki Zero and break the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
As if sensing Senga's anxiety, the twelve Truth-Seeking Orb floated to Senga front and transformed into a spiral-shaped longsword.
Senga was taken aback when she saw the sword, then her face lit up with joy.
"This is... the Amenonuhoko!?"
This is a "Sword of the Heart," and its strength varies depending on the wielder's beliefs; the stronger the beliefs, the greater its power.
Senga's current belief is naturally very firm: to defeat Otsutsuki Zero.
In the Obito's defenses were broken by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, causing the Amenonuhoko to shatter. This situation would not occur with Senga.
He grabbed the Amenonuhoko floating in front of him and pointed it directly at Otsutsuki Zero below.
"Die!!!"
The Amenonuhoko suddenly lengthened, piercing towards Otsutsuki Zero was absorbing life energy.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Zero dared not be careless and had to temporarily stop absorbing life energy. Ten black tails materialized behind him and wrapped around the incoming Amenonuhoko.
At the moment of the collision, black ripples spread out, illuminating the entire space with flickering light and shadow.
A purple light flashed in Senga's Rinnegan, and he shouted in a low voice,
"The Momo Power!"
The Amenonuhoko instantly expanded in size, shattering the ten tails wrapped around its blade, before plunging Zero into the sea below.
Senga raised her other hand and unleashed several bolts of purple lightning at the sea below, using an enhanced version of the New Energy Fishing Net Technique.
After the bombardment ended, Senga casually waved his hand, and the sea surface was directly parted by an invisible force, revealing the Otsutsuki Zero on the seabed.
Half of his body had been destroyed by the Amenonuhoko, and the remaining part was charred black, making him look extremely miserable.
Despite his injuries, Zero's mental state returned to normal. Looking at his missing lower body, he muttered a curse.
"Damn it! His Devil Fruit ability are really troublesome; one wrong move and you'll fall for it!"
The part destroyed by the Amenonuhoko did not immediately recover, so Zero could only control his upper body and fly upwards.
Senga was also very troubled by Zero's appearance. His immortality was truly difficult to deal with, and it seemed that the only way to defeat this kind of enemy was through Sealing Jutsu.
He began to consider whether to use a large-scale Chibaku Tensei, just like the time when the Sage of Six Paths sealed Otsutsuki Kaguya.
But how large would the Chibaku Tensei) need to be to seal a Zero-type Otsutsuki? Would it require using the entire landmass of the Pirate World?
Senga couldn't help but think of a classic quote,
"What have you been protecting!?"
Zero also believed that Senga couldn't do anything to him. He moved up to face Senga and said smugly,
"Why did you stop? Have you run out of ideas?"
Senga ignored Zero's taunts; he was still thinking of ways to eliminate this guy.
Zero's body began to twitch at the point of fracture; if this continued, his body would soon recover.
Senga couldn't just watch Zero recover, so he flashed in front of Zero and punched him in the face, sending him flying several miles away.
Zero's body fully recovered during the blast. He steadied himself, a wicked smile on his face, and after slightly loosening his joints, he charged back to engage Senga in combat.
Both of them abandoned all their abilities and fought using only Taijutsu. They fought from the sky to the sea and Rotation again, and the entire space was riddled with cracks from their collisions.
After another collision, the two retreated and stood facing each other in mid-air.
Zero looked at Senga across from him and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"I never imagined your power had reached this level. You're definitely one of the best in the Otsutsuki Clan!"
This was the first time Senga had encountered an opponent who could fight him to this extent, but he had no mood to enjoy the battle right now, because if he didn't defeat Otsutsuki Zero, Gion and the others would be trapped in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi forever, until they became nourishment for Otsutsuki Zero.
Looking up at the red sun in the sky, Senga grew increasingly anxious. He couldn't afford to waste any more time with Zero.
To defeat Zero, we must first separate him from the Ten-Tails; otherwise, there's no way to truly kill him.
The only power Senga could think of was the Op-Op Fruit).
He channeled all the Pupil Power from his eyes into the Tomoe representing the Op-Op Fruit, and a purple room appeared, enveloping Senga and Zero within it.
Zero dared not underestimate Senga's Devil Fruit ability this time; he extended his finger and shot a jet-black beam of light at Senga.
However, before his attack even touched Senga, it mysteriously changed direction and shot upwards.
Zero continued his attacks relentlessly, but the result was always the same: all his attacks missed, failing to even touch the Kakuzu of Senga's clothes.
On the other hand, Chiga was closing his eyes to experience the power of the Op-Op Fruit. With the support of the Rinnegan's power, the Op-Op Fruit had fully awakened, and this purple room space was the manifestation of its awakening.
Inside the purple room, even Zero's Otsutsuki body appeared "transparent" to Senga, who could see a ball of pitch-black energy floating within Zero's body.
Based on his previous experience absorbing Devil Fruit, Senga deduced that it was the Ten-Tails inside Zero's body.
Senga opened her eyes, reached out and yanked Zero's hand sharply. Zero sensed something was wrong and retreated rapidly, trying to escape the room, but it was too late.
A black substance emerged from his abdomen and was pulled toward Senga's position.
Zero was truly panicked this time. He stretched out his hands and tightly gripped the black substance in his abdomen, trying to stuff it back into his body.
Senga naturally wouldn't give Zero this chance. He slightly opened his eyes, and an explosion suddenly occurred on Zero's body. Although this attack wouldn't harm him, it made his movements pause for a moment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Senga suddenly exerted her strength, pulling the Ten-Tails completely out of Zero's body. Zero, regaining his senses, immediately widened his eyes and let out a roar.
"No!!!"
