Had he already become this strong?
Watching Ronglin vanish, Black Zetsu fell into deep thought. Once again, he had underestimated Ronglin's strength. Ronglin was a massive variable—every so often, his strength would surge unbelievably, leaving people utterly baffled.
Ronglin had already gained the ability to tear through space and travel through it. Did that mean he could also create an independent dimension, like Mother and the Sage of Six Paths?
Black Zetsu did not know, but he could only assume the worst.
Tearing open space for travel and creating an independent dimension were two entirely different things. Ronglin might be able to tear through space and move short distances.
But even if it killed him, he could not create a space of his own. They were fundamentally different matters. Within a created independent dimension, its creator was an absolute god!!
Of course, there were exceptions. Facing someone like Ronglin would be frustrating. You might be a god within this space, but I could simply leave. Why waste my energy fighting you to the death?
Besides, Ronglin's ability to tear through space relied more on the Power of Time than on any overwhelmingly powerful spatial ability. He was not Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Even if Ronglin had possessed strength comparable to the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya Otsutsuki at that time, he would not have been bored enough to create some independent dimension.
There was no point in it.

In the end, amid the Nine-Tails' low growls, Black Zetsu slowly sank underground and disappeared. Only after Black Zetsu's presence had vanished did
