"Shibai," Ian said, looking at the man who appeared in front of the small fleet: pale skin, two upward horns, a pair of Byakugan, and a Rinnegan on his forehead. He had a peaceful look on his face, and his body exuded a noble or sacred aura.
"Are you the one behind the attack on my family?" Shibai asked, his voice a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. At the same time, his eyes ignored the defense barrier of the spacecraft and looked directly at Ian sitting on the command chair.
"Danger detected," Golem AD reported.
"Relax," Ian soothed, "Your mission is to protect this small fleet and record my battle with the enemy."
"As you wish."
Ian nodded, then disappeared from the spacecraft and teleported in front of Shibai.
"It was indeed me," Ian replied.
"Why? I don't remember that our clan has ever offended you. No, I don't think we have had any intersection before."
"Then why does Otsutsuki Clan destroy countless worlds and civilizations by planting Divine Tree?"
"I see, it's for power," Shibai nodded, his expression still calm and peaceful, "In that case, it makes sense." He has long understood that the universe is a chaotic place, and the fate of the strong Overlord is the fate of the weak. Otsutsuki Clan was once the most powerful civilization in the universe.
Therefore, now that there is a civilization that is equal to them - and may even be more powerful than them - it is natural for the other party to want to eradicate its competitors.
"That being the case, we need not waste time: the will of the strongest will determine the fate of the weak," Shibai declared.
"Exactly what I want. However, let's fight somewhere further away from here." Ian didn't want their battle to destroy Otsutsuki Clan's star system, which would make his efforts to surrender and capture these people in vain.
Shibai said nothing more; a black crack appeared in Void in front of him, and he walked directly in. At the same time, a portal also appeared in front of Ian, and he also stepped in.
"Very interesting Dimensional Space," Ian commented as he looked at the surrounding environment. For some reason, there was a sea of fire burning in the sky here. He could see suspended planets, stars, and even an entire galaxy floating in this void. More importantly, he could feel that the surrounding Dimensional Space was very stable, so they could exert all their strength without fear of causing too much damage..
Shibai did not wait for his opponent to appreciate or analyze the environment. He waved his hand and released a strong blue flame. Ian held up a protective shield in front of him and easily blocked the attack.
'Is this the power of Divine Arts? This kind of chakra has a unique frequency, making it more powerful and easier to control.' Ninjutsu requires seals to be cast, and only those with extreme talent or chakra control can cast spells without seals. And this only applies to most ninjutsu, because some ninjutsu cannot be completed through seals at all.. However, Divine Arts used by Shibai does not require any seals; the chakra completely moves with the user's will and desire.
'From this aspect, Divine Arts is indeed better than magic.' Arcanist can cast some weak basic spells without relying on spell models or runes. However, when the spells reach a certain level, they must use spell models to achieve powerful and stable effects.
"Huh?" Ian suddenly noticed something unusual and murmured in a low voice: The blue fire was slowly burning his shield.
'Something's wrong,' Ian thought to himself. 'According to my calculations, the amount of chakra he used in that attack was not enough to shake my spell.' He sensed the changes in the force field and did not find any special attacks specifically targeting his magic power or the shield itself. 'It seems that there is some kind of secret hidden behind Divine Arts's power.'
Seeing that his attack failed, Shibai changed his tactics. Two bolts of lightning appeared in his hands, and he threw them violently at Ian. The lightning flew at a speed exceeding the speed of light, but Ian responded with another shield.
However, at the last moment, a strange power emanated from Shibai's eyes, and the two lightning bolts ignored Ian's shield and struck straight at him. Facing the current situation, Ian remained calm and analyzed the situation in his mind.
Just before lightning was about to hit him, Shibai seemed to notice something, but it was too late.
Boom!
Ian suddenly swapped places with Shibai, and lightning struck directly on Shibai. Two huge blood holes were blown out of Otsutsuki God's body in an instant. However, his expression remained calm and indifferent, not showing the slightest emotion. A strange chakra fluctuation emanated from his body, and he returned to his peak state in the blink of an eye.
'Interesting,' Ian thought to himself. 'Although he only owns a pair of ordinary Byakugan and Rinnegan, his pupil skills seem to be diverse.' From the brief confrontation just now, he has noticed two unique pupil skills: one allows Shibai to ignore defense, and the other seems to be able to predict danger.
'Maybe he can even see the future,' Ian thought to himself, and then waved his hand to construct a green magic circle: time and space energy emanated from the magic circle and integrated with the surrounding environment. Shibai immediately frowned, because he found that he could no longer foresee the future.
He waved his hand and condensed hundreds of tiny black spheres: Dimension Annihilation (Dimension Annihilation). Each sphere contained a huge Dimensional Space. Shibai smashed them all towards Ian and detonated it.. Unfortunately, these spheres did not explode as expected, but flew back to Shibai before detonating.
In desperation, he could only exile them to another dimension to avoid affecting himself.
"In front of experts, it's best not to show off your time and space abilities," Ian commented. This sentence immediately angered Shibai; in any previous confrontations, he had become accustomed to a superior and arrogant attitude.
Divine Arts: Cosmic Bomb.
Shibai forcibly controlled dozens of star systems and hundreds of stars floating around, turned them all into bombs, and smashed them hard at Ian.
Boom!
Ian was safe and sound under the protection of the shield. However, he had to hold up three layers of composite shields, two of which were shattered in the explosion.
'There is something that makes Shibai and Divine Arts exert extraordinary power. And this feeling seems familiar. What is it?'
Shibai knew that this level of attack would not work. Moreover, he could feel that his opponent did not take this battle seriously at all. So, he took advantage of this and launched the next attack:
Rinnegan: Death Path.
Countless pitch-black shadows suddenly emerged from Ian's body.
"A real fatal attack? You are indeed not a simple opponent." He could detect that Shibai's attack contained the law of "True Death", which meant that as long as he stared at the opponent for more than one second, he could directly obliterate the opponent..Luck's thing is that Ian is immune to True Death's attacks. Not only is his robe engraved with counter spells, but he himself also controls Law of Death.
Shibai frowned, and he realized that the special attack he was proud of had actually failed. With a wave of his hand, he condensed thousands of Truth-Seeking Balls that contained the power of destruction. He controlled Truth-Seeking Balls to distract the enemy, and at the same time separated a part of his consciousness and sent it somewhere.
"You want to send part of your consciousness back to the past and kill me when I am weak," Ian said suddenly after finishing Truth-Seeking Balls. "However, I have warned you a long time ago."
Shibai's face instantly turned pale, and blood continued to ooze from his ears, nose, and mouth - his soul was wounded. He felt that his opponent had directly obliterated the part of his consciousness that traveled to the past, thus backlashing his original soul.
Shibai knew that it would take time to repair soul wounds, so he could only temporarily stabilize his mind and concentrate on the battle in front of him. With a wave of his hand, he summoned ten huge beasts out of thin air.
"Power of Creation?" Ian commented as he looked at the chakra monsters in front of him. He could feel that these monsters had all reached the Eighth Tier level; to be precise, they could all release a Eighth Tier level attack.
The chakra monsters opened their mouths and sprayed Tailed Beast Bomb at Ian. However, Ian condensed magic power in his hands and shot an attack similar to the Qigong wave in <Dragon Ball Z>. With his huge energy reserve, he easily suppressed these ten Eighth Tier monsters.
"That's it," he murmured in a low voice, finally understanding why Divine Arts has such powerful power: they contain Cosmic Will. In other words, Cosmic Will provides strength blessing and amplification for all attacks of Shibai.
