Looking at the two Chakra Fruits in his hands, Shinji murmured, "It seems the strength of the sacrifice really does affect how the Chakra Fruit develops. In that case, sacrificing Urashiki wasn't a waste after all!"
He had been agonizing over whether to sacrifice Urashiki, a Kekkei Mōra, but now that he had gained an enhanced Chakra Fruit, his doubts had vanished completely.
At the same time, this proved that there was a significant difference between a Kekkei Mōra and an ordinary being at Six Paths level.
Shinji continued to mull things over. "I've already eaten five Chakra Fruits and reached the peak of Kekkei Mōra. Maybe I only need to eat one more to ascend to Kekkei Sōra. If everything goes well, I might even be able to save one Chakra Fruit."
A single Chakra Fruit could give rise to a Kekkei Mōra. So if he could save one, one of his many Six Paths-level subordinates could ascend to Kekkei Mōra.
Once the idea had occurred to him, Shinji couldn't resist acting on it.
After all, once he reached Kekkei Sōra, having one more Chakra Fruit or one fewer would no longer make much difference to his strength.
"So, which one should I eat?"
Shinji looked from one fruit to the other, but his gaze eventually settled on the larger Chakra Fruit.
He was only guessing that eating a sixth Chakra Fruit would help him break through to Kekkei Sōra, so to be safe, eating the larger one first seemed like the sensible choice.
That way, he wouldn't eat the smaller one, discover it wasn't enough, and then have to eat the larger one too, leaving him with none.
Having made up his mind, Shinji put the smaller Chakra Fruit into his Daikokuten space, then swallowed the larger one
