After the golden light entered Kanami's body.
His entire body suddenly shook, and then his eyes closed on their own.
Otsutsuki Yamei condensed a Tailed Beast Ball in his hand.
Unlike ordinary Tailed Beast Balls, his was perfectly round and seamless, lacking the bubble-like appearance of those used by Tailed Beasts.
The energy contained within it also appeared extraordinarily terrifying.
Yet he did not immediately attack the Sage of Six Paths—or rather, Kanami.
Instead, he watched them.
Silently watching.
"Tell me, should I kill you now, or wait until you have fully fused?"
Otsutsuki Yamei muttered as he looked at the two of them.
He seemed completely unconcerned with whether they could hear him.
However, Kanami and the Sage of Six Paths truly could no longer hear what he was saying.
Within Kanami's consciousness.
The Sage of Six Paths turned into a streak of golden light and entered his mental space.
"Now, hand your body over to me."
The Sage of Six Paths spoke directly.
Kanami nodded. "Use it if you want."
"As long as you really have a way to defeat Otsutsuki Yamei."
Just as his words fell, another figure suddenly appeared within the mental space.
Her entire body looked snow-white.
"It has been a long time, child."
A cold voice rang out.
The Sage of Six Paths was immediately startled.
"You are... Mother!"
He abruptly turned around and saw his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, white as snow.
Standing quietly before him.
"How are you..."
Before he could finish, he understood something himself.
"So the power that awakened me from the Pure Land back then was released by you, Mother."
That was right. After Kanami devoured Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Six Paths aura on him triggered the warning left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, causing him to awaken early.
