After calming herself, Tsunade asked, "What exactly happened at the core node? Was Shinji defeated?"
Shizune quickly explained, "The communications team over there is very worried. According to them, Otsutsuki Shibai's power is astonishing. After gaining the Overlord of Fear's power, his strength has even reached the peak of Kekkei Mōra. All the instruments we issued that can test Chakra at the Kekkei Mōra level have malfunctioned!"
Amado's expression darkened.
After studying shinjutsu for so many years, he knew very well that Otsutsuki Shibai, the source of shinjutsu, was definitely a Kekkei Mōra-level powerhouse—perhaps even stronger!
The "Otsutsuki Shibai" attacking the core node now might not be the real Otsutsuki Shibai, but after gaining the Overlord of Fear's power, his strength was probably not much different from the real thing.
In other words, what Shinji was facing now was essentially the real Otsutsuki Shibai.
Scorpion looked irritated. "Is the core node still standing?"
Shizune nodded. "For now, the lord still has the upper hand, but the Sensory Unit at the core node estimates that his Chakra is being depleted very quickly. If things continue like this, the situation could—so they've asked us to send reinforcements!"
Scorpion looked exasperated. "Reinforcements?! Even Kage Level shinobi would be burned to ashes like moths flying into a flame if they got anywhere near that battlefield! Any 'Six Paths level' test subjects we sent would most likely be cannon fodder, barely good for anything but helping out. What could we possibly send to help?"
Tsunade shook her head with a sigh. "They must be panicking and grasping at straws!"
Shizune ventured, "Is there really nothing we can do?"
Scorpion and Tsunade looked at Amado.
If they had to name one last card the Research Institute still held, it was Ada and Daemon—the siblings who wielded
