Rumble.
A bolt of thunder suddenly exploded through the dark clouds overhead!
The figure lurking beyond the spatial barrier seemed to have heard Shinji's provocation and immediately responded.
"Hmph!"
Shinji gave a soft snort.
With the second Divine Tree taking root, the collapse of World No. 4 naturally began accelerating even further.
To find out how much time World No. 4 had left, Shinji released the technological orb Little Round once more, had it gather data again, and ran the simulation another time.
After more than half a day, Little Round finished collecting data and ran the simulation again with the new figures. The result was thirty-two days.
"That's longer than I expected!"
Shinji thought to himself.
He had assumed that planting the second Divine Tree would make World No. 4 collapse even faster. He hadn't expected the estimate to drop only from forty-six days to thirty-two.
But after taking a look at the Divine Tree beneath him, which was clearly much shorter, Shinji felt more at ease.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's little Ten-Tails obviously couldn't compare to the mature Divine Tree that Kaguya Otsutsuki's Ten-Tails had grown into after taking root in the Shinobi World for a thousand years.
So the little Divine Tree formed from the little Ten-Tails was nowhere near as efficient at absorbing planetary energy as the great Divine Tree.
Shinji placed a hand on the little Divine Tree and sensed its condition.
This latest bout of absorption was different from the great Divine Tree's. The great Divine Tree absorbed planetary energy to prepare to cultivate another Chakra Fruit. The little Divine Tree was absorbing planetary energy solely to grow.
That was because a young Divine Tree couldn't cultivate a Chakra Fruit!
The process usually took a thousand years. Even if accelerated artificially, it still took at least
