Blue Fruit (1)

"Urashiki, having devoured a chakra fruit, had greatly increased his strength. He was truly difficult to deal with."

Just as the group was still half-convinced and half-doubtful, the suddenly intensifying light drew the attention of an Ōtsutsuki who had remained silent until now as he stepped forward.

"Miss, the sky seems to have grown brighter again. At this time, the light should be gradually weakening."

The Ōtsutsuki all looked up at the sky. Within the red clouds, a sudden, flickering radiance could faintly be seen.

"Another planet has exploded."

"Could it be Urashiki?"

"It must be that guy Urashiki. Didn't Lord Lishiki come here in pursuit of him?"

"That's true."

Li Yu was secretly delighted. These Ōtsutsuki are practically divine support! This time, they should be completely convinced, right? Still, that Ōtsutsuki who spoke just now is incredibly observant. He noticed something was wrong without even looking up. I was worried no one would notice the change in the sky and was even planning to remind them. Now that's unnecessary. This saves me from being suspected.

That was right—two more planets had exploded. They were Li Yu's handiwork, providing the two of them with an alibi and reinforcing his story once more.

"It's that guy Urashiki Ōtsutsuki. Who knows what madness seized him, destroying planets everywhere," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki said.

Ōtsutsuki Anshiki turned her head toward an Ōtsutsuki standing beside her. The Ōtsutsuki immediately understood and shot into the sky at once.

In truth, the moment Li Yu saw these Ōtsutsuki, he had identified them from their appearances and positions: six from the branch family, three from the main family, and one from the principal family.

Li Yu guessed that this planet originally had six Ōtsutsuki guarding the God Tree, while the remaining four had clearly accompanied Ōtsutsuki Anshiki here.

Boom!
