Seeing Toneri and Six Paths turn into Chakra, the others were infected by their conviction as well. They shouted that they wanted to offer up their strength too—they wanted to become light!
The problem was, they did not possess the Otsutsuki's physical constitution. They simply could not convert their own power into Chakra!
Elsewhere, Ryūshiki finally broke free from Neji's influence and the Mind-Numbing Halo.
However, it was already too late for him to stop them.
Watching Soseki's aura surge explosively, his figure continuously overlapping with the Clear Water Great Demon King from his memories, Ryūshiki's heart began pounding violently against his will.
"How could this be? Could it be that in the original history, Shimizu Soseki did not defeat Aizen through great difficulty?" Ryūshiki muttered. Then, remembering how all information about Aizen had been completely sealed away, the haze clouding his mind finally dispersed.
"I understand now. After the war, he erased everyone else's memories of this battle not to damage Aizen's reputation, but to guard against me. I had long since become part of this time loop!"
At that thought, Ryūshiki nearly despaired.
If even his arrival was part of fate, how could he resist?
Yet as an Otsutsuki from that even more hopeless future era, he was not about to sit still and await death!
With a desperate, all-or-nothing mindset, Ryūshiki snarled, "Even if I die, I'll tear a layer of flesh off you!"
"Isn't it just eating? If you can eat, so can I!" Ryūshiki teleported to Isshiki's side at top speed and reached out to grab him.
Isshiki was already in a state of turmoil. Seeing Ryūshiki suddenly attack him, he shouted, "Ryūshiki, what are you trying to do?"
Ryūshiki seized Isshiki's hands. "For the future of the Otsutsuki, hand your power over to me!"
