"Mother, don't..." Black Zetsu grew a little anxious and still wanted to dissuade her, but then he could only open his mouth without making the slightest sound.
Minamoto Takuya looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki, but he did not move against Black Zetsu. He continued absorbing Kaguya Otsutsuki's power.
Seeing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki took it as his agreement to her request. After a moment of silence, Minamoto Takuya could feel the process of absorbing her power becoming much smoother.
Before this, although Kaguya Otsutsuki had not resisted because of her despair, she had not actively cooperated either.
But now she began cooperating of her own accord, making the process extraordinarily smooth and reducing the losses in between by a tremendous amount.
Minamoto Takuya glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki. In truth, he had never planned to erase Black Zetsu from the very beginning.
He did not bear much malice toward Black Zetsu. Perhaps from the perspective of the popular characters Black Zetsu had used, Black Zetsu truly was unforgivably evil.
But to Minamoto Takuya, Black Zetsu was merely a deeply filial son who had persisted for a thousand years. He only wanted to save his mother. What was wrong with that?
Even if his methods were filthy and the process extremely twisted, that goal had never changed, and that was already enough.
Moreover, judging from Kaguya Otsutsuki's behavior, Black Zetsu's devotion could not even really be called blind filial piety.
Given the education Minamoto Takuya had received, he had never been repulsed by such filial piety.
However, not being repulsed by Black Zetsu's filial piety was one thing. It was impossible for Minamoto Takuya to give up power that was already within his grasp.
Minamoto Takuya greedily devoured Kaguya's power. With her active cooperation, the energy surged like a flood bursting through a dam.
