Camilla was completely enveloped in thick, black-red energy, resembling a cocoon of light. The heaven-shaking aura made Obito's expression turn grave.

This boss is a bit fierce... It would be incredibly stupid if I messed this up. As expected, I can't get cocky; steady growth is the true path.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three Kunai attached with explosive tags were launched at Camilla.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the explosions of the tags, the energy cocoon vibrated violently before suddenly retracting, and all fluctuations of power vanished.

A brand-new Camilla slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were as brilliant as rubies, with golden, vertical pupils at their centers.

Her original long brown hair had turned white, her delicate face had undergone significant changes, and her bright red lips looked even more bewitching. A pair of black, bat-like wings sprouted from her back, and two curved horns sat atop her head.

She wore a black gothic miniskirt, a backless top, and black leather boots.

Her fair back and smooth thighs shimmered, dazzling Obito to the point of dizziness. It made him feel like he had walked onto the wrong set; with this outfit, shouldn't she be carrying a small leather whip?

The only flaw was that pair of A-cups.

"Those who blaspheme the gods shall die!"

Camilla flashed and vanished from Obito's field of vision. Her speed was too fast!

Obito used his Mangekyo Sharingan to try and track her movements. Found her!

Obito turned, his heavy fist wrapped in chakra flames striking toward his rear right. He missed!

She was too fast! At this moment, Camilla seemed to have transformed into the very rule of speed itself.

Extreme speed, to the point where even a shadow did not exist!

"You are too slow!"

The voice seemed to come from all directions.

"This is the power of a god! Mortal, you have blasphemed the divine. Go to hell!"

Obito felt a gust of wind pass through his body... Clearly, he had already been struck once.

"Hmm?"

Camilla could no longer be called Camilla at this point; Evil God was a more fitting title. Her descent into Camilla's body was not without limits; the vessel could only hold out for five minutes before falling apart!

"The power of space?"

"Mortal, submit to me, and I shall grant you eternal life," the Evil God said.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think you're a god?" Obito retorted sarcastically.

If Obito had been a bit panicked at the start, most of his anxiety had faded now. In the original Naruto World, Kaguya had always been the ruler until she was sealed, followed by the Sage of Six Paths, and then the era of ninja villages.

While he didn't know when the Death God or the Evil God had appeared, they shouldn't be stronger than Kaguya.

"Unforgivable!"

Obito stood in place, feeling his body being continuously struck. How could he break this deadlock?

He didn't know if Ryujin Jakka could kill her once released, but its destructive power was too great. They were currently fighting not far from a small town; if he released his Zanpakuto, the people in the town would likely suffer a grim fate.

If she kept attacking like this for five minutes, she might eventually hurt him. By then, he wouldn't be able to care about anything else.

"What is up with this human?"

Watching Obito stand motionless with his arms crossed, looking calm and composed, the Evil God felt a flicker of panic.

About a thousand years ago, she had arrived on this planet along with a meteorite.

Her kind fed on blood, and members of her race would awaken their bloodline powers at the age of eighteen.

What she had awakened was the power of extreme speed.

This was a world far better than her birthplace; food was everywhere! The fresh blood of chaste maidens was so sweet and delicious.

Until one day, she encountered a white-haired woman who always referred to herself as "this lady"!

After a fierce battle, her body was shattered, and her broken remains and soul were sealed in various places.

Over the millennium, she had constantly bewitched humans into offering blood sacrifices to restore some of her strength, and that annoying white-haired woman was finally gone!

Just as she was preparing to expand her influence, she never expected to run into a pervert during her first descent! Ignoring attacks? Only you can hit me, but I can't hit you? Isn't that just playing dirty!

She couldn't hold on much longer... Cracks were already appearing on Camilla's snow-white skin. Bright red blood flowed out like molten lava.

"Four minutes," Obito noted in his heart, though looking at her state, she clearly wasn't doing well.

"Damn it, I can't go on! Camilla's body is still too weak; I can only exert thirty percent of my power! If I could take this man as a vessel, I could exert at least ninety percent!"

"Mortal, you have the qualifications for me to know your name," the Evil God said, stopping her attacks and standing not far from Obito.

Obito immediately controlled his Mangekyo Sharingan to reset the cooldown of his intangibility. Now, he was completely unbothered.

"You're just someone a bit stronger than the rest, playing at being a god," Obito said, his tongue as sharp as ever.

"I will remember you! You have the qualifications to become my vessel. Stay alive!"

"Bang!" With a sharp sound, Camilla's cracked body suddenly exploded, transforming into a mass of blood that lunged toward Obito!

"You old schemer..." Obito hurriedly activated his intangibility, but to his horror, it failed!

His usually infallible intangibility could not evade the attack. Obito was enveloped by the blood, his body feeling as if it were bound. He could smell a pungent, sweet scent, and could only watch as the blood gathered on the left side of his neck.

"Mortal, I grant you an immortal body! I shall take your shell for my own!"

As the voice faded, Obito regained control of his body. He touched his neck, feeling a burning sensation.

"Damn it, I got too cocky this time..."

Obito felt a pang of regret. For the six or seven years since he had transmigrated, things had gone too smoothly. Relying on his knowledge of the Naruto World plot and character traits, along with the abilities he gained from card draws, he had been living the high life.

He had thought that as long as it wasn't Kaguya, he could do whatever he wanted in this world!

He never expected to capsize in a gutter. If the Evil God was this fierce, then the Death God must be equally formidable—at the very least, on the same level as Kaguya.

He had made a mistake based on preconceived notions. Just because Kaguya was the supreme ruler of the ninja world in the anime didn't mean she was the strongest; perhaps others simply preferred to keep a low profile!

"I need to arrange some card draws! I must get stronger as soon as possible!" Obito reflected on his errors, acknowledged them, and corrected his course, continuing to push forward!

What if he drew Pangu? Then any Evil God or Death God would be finished with a single swing of his axe!

Obito indulged in his fantasy, regained his confidence, and used Kamui to return to Konoha. It was time to pick up Tsunade from work.

In an unknown valley, there was an inconspicuous cave where the head of the Evil God was sealed... no, was living in seclusion!

A young girl who looked only about ten years old threw a shattered puppet from her hand into a trash heap; the name Camilla was faintly visible on the fragments. Every puppet in the pile bore a name—these were the divine messengers who had died over the past millennium.

"Hmm... I was impulsive. I used up half of the energy I've accumulated over a thousand years... But there is a type of energy within his body. If I can obtain his vessel and acquire that power, I will surely surpass my thousand-year-old self and become a true god!"
