The Reaper immediately charged at Otsutsuki Wushi.
The situation had changed drastically, filling the Reaper with boundless fear.
If he could not stop this man, he would die!
The Sages of these Sage Lands all shared one special trait: immortality!
But their immortality... depended on their own Sage Lands.
If a Sage Land disappeared, or its origin was damaged...
Then its Lord of the Sage Land would also suffer irreversible consequences.
Their willingness to give Hagoromo Otsutsuki a portion of their worlds' origins back then had already demonstrated their sincerity.
But now...
The Reaper's eyes turned blood-red. An enormous skeletal arm emerged from the vortex and smashed straight toward the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
He had to fight back now.
That power was devouring his world's origin!
And it was devouring it from the inside out.
In other words, the seeds of disaster had long since been planted within his world.
Only that man could have done something like this.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki!
And the Reaper had already figured out how he had done it.
During their transaction, he had left something supplied by Otsutsuki Wushi inside the Reaper's Sage Land.
Over time, it had merged into the core origin of his Sage Land.
"Yama, Evil God."
"We've been played."
"If you two still won't act, we'll all die here together!"
After the Reaper roared, his other skeletal hand struck toward Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.
Bang!
A violent crash rang out.
But at that moment, the skeletal fist came to a halt.
"I have already assimilated your world's origin."
"So these powers are mine now."
As Otsutsuki Wushi finished speaking, the enormous skeletal arm began to melt slowly.
Then it turned into a red-and-black sphere and appeared in Otsutsuki Wushi's hand.
He swallowed it in one gulp.
