Then there was only one explanation: perhaps Kaguya, who had eaten the fruit back then, had been the progenitor of chakra in name, but...
Later, human life had undergone some qualitative transformation, and their chakra no longer depended solely on Kaguya's bloodline.
At this thought, a bold conjecture surfaced in Urashiki's mind.
Perhaps this was also what had created that monster, Gekkō Raito. Humans were seemingly lowly, short-lived creatures, born without mighty divine power and utterly unremarkable.
In truth, however, the adaptability and potential of human genes were unparalleled. They could perfectly inherit powers and evolve them into something even stronger.

This was what truly made the human species terrifying.
With this in mind, Urashiki was just about to tell Momoshiki that incorporating humanity's superior genes into the Ōtsutsuki Clan might allow the entire clan to evolve.

As disbelief crossed Momoshiki's face, crimson blood slowly dripped from his chest, forming a puddle.
Kinshiki instantly flew into a rage. He hurtled into Kaguya like a human cannonball, the tremendous impact sending her flying hundreds
