Hi there, after the Holy Chronicles of Baator, I am partially fulfilling my ambition to write...
Chapter 1 – Isekai Link!: Ōtsutsuki Yakou
Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory, Main Planet of the Ōtsutsuki Clan


I was reborn...


In the world of Naruto...


And not on the Elemental Nations...


But as Clansmen of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.


Now that was pretty much weird, but whatever...


The first thing I remember was the visage of my mother, who was holding me close and the place, which seemed like taken from some Xianxia cultivation story... really.


For the first few years, I was mainly sleeping or eating, practically doing nothing at all. From listening to the adults talking about some things, I learned how the Ōtsutsuki Clan was divided and how the Clan worked.


Essentially the Clan was divided between the Main Family and Branch Family. Each of them were then further divided into several distinct groups as the entire Clan was ruled by two things.


One of them was social hierarchy which was extremely strict and the second was "might make a right".


On the contrary to what I remember from the Naruto Anime, where it was stated that most of the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen never trained, it was never the case with the Ōtsutsuki Clan here.


It didn't take me a long time to come to the conclusion that I was either in some alternative universe or something like that.


Now back to the topic.


The Main Family was divided into three groups, from highest to lowest they were:


Divine Lineage, direct descendants of the Shibai Ōtsutsuki, one of the strongest beings in the Universe and from what I know that our Universe was pretty strong. This was also the Lineage where I was born, but there were only a few people born into Divine Lineage every few thousand year.


Aside from my parents and me, there were only my grandfather and my uncle and his daughter, my cousin.


Below them was the so-called standard Main Line, which were basically standard Celestial Ōtsutsuki Clansmen; they were far more numerous than the Divine Lineage, but their individual power and unique abilities were far inferior as we were directly descended from the Shibai Ōtsutsuki.


And the third was the Ascended Line, basically the Branch Clansmen, that underwent Ancestral Awakening and became members of the Main Family. Unfortunately for them, they were still a bit weaker than true Main Line members of the Main Family.


After the Main Family, there were was Branch Family.


They were divided into three groups:


Ranked Members, those who ate Chakra Fruit and then into High-Ranking Members and Low-Ranking Members based on the strength of their Bloodline.


Right now, I was enjoying time with my mother, whose name was Akiri Ōtsutsuki. She was like a hawk, constantly fussing over me and coddling me, not that I was against it, even though I was previously an adult.


Motherly love was something indescribable... and due to the very long time I spent in the Void as Soul, I already forgot how it felt. My mother had a mature appearance, looked like typical Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, though far more beautiful and her horns were more intimidating.


She also had a third eye on her forehead and I knew that she was extremely powerful, almost reaching the Tier 4. Ōtsutsuki Clansmen were divided into several Tiers, essentially based on only on their combat and destructive prowess.


Tier 1 was for Tectonic Levels and could level up entire continents on large planets.


Tier 2 was Planetary Level Ōtsutsuki Clansmen; usually one reached this Level when one ate Chakra Fruit.


Tier 3 were the Stellar Level; their powers varied; some could destroy entire Stars, some entire Solar System and the strongest in this Tier could destroy entire Star Clusters.


Then there were a few more Tiers, but they were very, very far from the current me.


Production of new Ōtsutsuki powerhouses was becoming harder with each passed millennium because of the lack of suitable worlds to plant the God Tree.


Naturally, the Ōtsutsuki wasn't the only one in the Universe and there were several more species that were competing with the Ōtsutsuki Clan for the hegemony of the Universe.


This was also the reason why my father was mainly absent because he was leading the front to the unexplored regions of the Universe. Because the Universe was ever-expanding, a few galaxies appeared in space behind the Southern and Eastern Star Regions.


So he was right now leading the war against the Architect System, a species of sentient Machines that ruled the entire Eastern Star Region. War for resources was something that was on the daily order...


When I celebrated my fifth birthday, I was allowed to start formal training. Even though I was an only little child, I packed a punch that could kill Kages of the Elemental Nations like nothing...


Though that was rather understandable because even the weakest Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, upon reaching adulthood, could level up continents. My mother was teaching me about Chakra Control and even Chakra Cultivation...


This was the secret of the Main Family; more specifically, only the Divine Lineage and Main Line had access to the scriptures of the Chakra Cultivation. Naturally, this was based on the fact that to advance properly one needed to eat Chakra Fruits.


On the other hand, my grandfather, Ōtsutsuki Amakusa, was teaching me about Elemental Control and Affinities and how to control my Dōjutsu Tensei-Sharingan, which was a unique Dōjutsu to the Divine Lineage I was born with.


Essentially a combination of Tenseigan and Sharingan in one with some additional abilities.


The disadvantage of this entire ordeal was that I was forbidden to leave the compounds of the Clan until I reached Tier 2 and was over one hundred years old. This was apparently for my own safety...


Thought I could understand that...


Even member of the Divine Lineage was irreplaceable and they were extremely powerful with unlimited potential.


For example, my father, who was right now Tier 4, could fight above his Tier against other races rather easily and even killed a few opponents that were much stronger than him.


But Ōtsutsuki were very long-lived species; even those of Branch Clan who didn't eat Chakra Fruit and were lowest of the lowest had lifespan of thousands of years.

Chapter 2 – Flow of Time
For the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, the flow of time was a weird thing. We were a very long-lived species and it wasn't totally unusual that some clansmen spent even decades or centuries on their mission.

Thought during the past years, my father, Ōtsutsuki Kenshin, returned from the frontlines after he managed to take some galaxies for the Clan from the Automatons. My father was a man of few words and always stoic.

Compared to my mom, who was bubbly and energic, they were creating a weird couple... really weird, even by my standards of weirdness. Naturally, the second my dad returned, he started teaching me Kenjutsu because he was one of the best swordsmen in the Clan.

Right now, I was already fourteen years old and was training in the training yard, my Kenjutsu against some battle dummies. Naturally, I was pretty strong myself and even though I just reached Tier 1 a not long time ago, I was able to beat even some strongest Tier 1s

While I was still far from becoming Tier 2 and I felt that I could reach it without eating Chakra Fruit, afterward, perhaps they would let me leave even sooner...

"Young Master, Patriarch is calling you."

While I was swinging my sword, I heard the voice of my attendant Ōtsutsuki Akisue who was a member of the Main Family who ate Chakra Fruit and was a fairly powerful Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

He looked youthful, even though he was a few centuries old, with pale skin, pair of Byakugan and Rinnegan as his third eye on his forehead.

"I will be right there."

I wondered why grandfather was calling me officially like this because usually, he rarely called me aside from the time when I was scheduled to train with him.

***

Clan's Main Hall

My grandfather, Ōtsutsuki Amakusa was elderly-looking Ōtsutsuki Clansmen and his age was too high; he often joked that he already forgot how old he is, which clearly may be a truth. He was an old fossil that remembered times when Lord Shibai walked the Universe before ascending as Higher Dimensional Lifeform.

"Today, you have reached your fourteenth year, so it is time to start walking the path to supremacy. Seeing that as Tier 1, you have the power to compete even against some weaker Tier 2 clansmen, I have decided to give you these two things."

As he stated, suddenly, one of the armored guards that stood next to him appeared in front of me and passed me a sealed box with complex Fūinjutsu which I opened as soon as I grabbed it and almost fainted from shock.

"There is one Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit and one seed of the God Tree for you to plant. If my predictions are correct, you will become our key to the new Golden Age of our clan. When you eat it, we will start your training in the Shinjutsu."

I spent a lot of time in the Clan's Library since I was born... and when I meant lot, it was almost all of the time when I wasn't training or spending time with my mother as she insisted on relaxation time.

The first Golden Age of the Clan was during the times of Lord Shibai before he ascended as Higher Dimensional Lifeform.

The second Golden Age of the Clan was several hundred thousand years ago when one of the Clansmen from the Divine Lineage managed to find Dimensional Path to another Universe.

From the records, it was a Universe of cultivators like Xianxia stories from Earth. What happened after was a total invasion of that Universe by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who seeded the entire Universe with the God Trees and harvested countless worlds there.

They also looted an endless amount of other types of resources and techniques, which they incorporated into their own foundation. This was also the time during which Lord Shibai ascended.

Since then, nobody has managed to find Dimensional Path leading to another Universe and right now, it seemed that my grandfather had a hunch that I would be able to do so. If yes and I managed to find some cultivation-based Universe, it would be a tremendous boon for the Clan.

Since the Second Golden Age, the strength of our rivals was catching up and there was little room for the development of the Ōtsutsuki aside from attacking the territories of our rivals.

Naturally, I also needed to have some amount of luck to find a relatively weak cultivation Universe that could be easily conquered without big losses on our side, as the Ōtsutsuki Clan didn't have a really big population.

I looked at the Chakra Fruit with wonder... each one of them was a treasure to the Clan as it needed a long time to mature, depending on the world where God Tree took root. Naturally, there was also a requirement for the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen to be fed to the God Tree.

But that was what for the Branch Clan was created and it was the sole purpose of their existence. It was also one of the reasons why the Main Family looked down on them so much because they were nothing more than just genetically engineered faux Ōtsutsuki created by Lord Shibai eons ago.

But this was something that only members of the Divine Lineage or Elders of the Clan knew.

"Now go and eat the fruit..."

I nodded my head before I stored it in my pocket dimension and fled to home at lightning speed to eat the fruit.

Our compound was not far from the Patriarch's Hall, so I arrived very quickly and excitedly shouted to my mother that I got my first Chakra Fruit.

"Oh... you got Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit as your first one..."

Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit was created from a high-ranking life planet and used Ascended Ōtsutsuki Clansman as a sacrifice.

"Even I ate only a few in my life..."

Ascended Clansmen were those who were elevated from the Branch Clan to the Main Family... but in reality, they were specifically groomed to be sacrificed to the God Trees to create Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruits for members of Divine Lineage.

So yes... life for the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen that were not members of the Main Family was shit; either way, they would be used as servants, cannon fodder or become sacrifices at any time for eternity.

Chapter 3 – Evolution
Not many Ascended members of the Main Family were still alive; most of those who managed to achieve such feat were either killed on the battlefield or became sacrifices for the God Tree after learning of certain matters.

"You should consume it in the sealed chamber in case the energy goes berserk."

There were several evolutionary stages for the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen. Basically, there were Pure-Blooded Ōtsutsuki that were either Unawakened those who never consumed Chakra Fruit, which was the majority of the Branch Clan.

Then there were awakened members, those who consumed Chakra Fruit and gained some sort of abilities from their bloodline. Above the Awakened Pure-Blooded Ōtsutsuki were the Celestial Ōtsutsuki; those were the ones who underwent Ancestral Awakening and tapped into some of their fundamental origin.

Above them were the Divine Ōtsutsuki, who were the ones who bore the Blood and DNA and origin of the Lord Shibai, the originator of their very own bloodline; they were the pinnacle of perfection.

That was why I was able to have Tensei-Sharingan and use some really powerful abilities, even though I never ate a Chakra Fruit.

Hearing my mother remark that I nodded and I went to the special room in our enormous mansion, which was specifically for a situation like this. The entire room was protected by the most powerful Fūinjutsu that the clan could employ, as it was used by father when he was training.

I sat down and took out the sealed wooden box with the Chakra Fruit and without much hesitation, I ate it in one go. The second I ate the Chakra Fruit, I felt a tremendous amount of Chakra enter my body as my genetic information was changing and evolving at lightning speed.

For several hours I was holding back my urge to scream out of pain because it hurt like hell... during the process, my DNA and genetic information were changed I several times coughed out a huge amount of blood or impurities from my body as I was being perfected in a certain sense.

Ōtsutsuki without eating Chakra Fruit was incomplete one and right now, after I ate one, I finally realized what the meaning of it was.

Naturally, the thing of the process which hurt the most was the formation of a third eye on my forehead as the Senrinjōnegan was being formed and that was something on which I started screaming when it happened.

When the process ended, weirdly, all the pain disappeared at fast space and on the contrary to everything that took place here, I was feeling rejuvenated. After the process was finished, I used Elemental Control to conjure some water and clean myself before drying my body and changing into new clothes.

The most notable change about my body was that my horns became more intimidating and looked more like dragon horns and the appearance of the Senrinjōnegan on my forehead.

Senrinjōnegan was a special eye Dōjutsu that was unique only to the Divine Lineage of the Main Family and was the reason why even a single of Divines was able to suppress more than ten clansmen of the Main Family at the same time in the same Tier.

Senrinjōnegan was a combination of Rinnegan, Senrigan and Jōgan, but at the same time, due to the combination of several types of Dōjutsu, it drastically boosted the power of the Senrinjōnegan.

Naturally, the great downside was that the person who awakened Senrinjōnegan needed a lot of time to master its usage.

For example, I heard from mother that it took her several centuries to master Senrinjōnegan and even then, her talent with the Clairvoyant aspect was low, so she couldn't really make Divinations and other stuff.

"Still, right now, I am certainly Tier 2... I feel like I could destroy an entire planet with small Dust Shinjutsu... No wonder many of the Branch Clan trash are that arrogant after their power..."

Only now I realized that how it felt to become a planet-destroying entity in one go and hold power to destroy entire celestial bodies with a wave of my hand.

Aside from that, I felt that I obtained something from the Awakening, something which I couldn't fully describe yet. I felt some changes, but I couldn't really pinpoint it or tell what I obtained from eating that Chakra Fruit.

Right now, I was sure that I was far more powerful than approximately 80% of the Ranked Branch Clansmen based purely on Chakra alone. When it came to the usage of other abilities, then naturally, nobody of the same rank was my match.

Ōtsutsuki Clan was huge and had several thousands of members, though most of them came from the Branch Clan. The Main Family was not that large and had only a few thousand people at best.

I then left the sealed room and saw that my mother was already waiting for me with a worried face because she knew that the process was extremely painful.

"I am okay, mom..."

No matter what I said didn't stop her from applying some healing Shinjutsu on me as she checked everything around me to ensure that I was okey.

"You should still go rest... eating a Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit takes a heavy toll on your poor little body. I will order servants to bring you some medicine for pain and recovery."

It seemed that anything I said would fall on deaf ears, so I went with the flow and went to rest while pondering over the things. Eating the Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit greatly elevated my raw power, but right now, I didn't know how to use it and it would require a lot of training to master it completely.

Not to mention mastering even the basic abilities of the Senrinjōnegan would be arduous, but I had time...

Not to mention, I also wanted to check out the Elemental Nations because it was the place where the canon took place and it was a place that had Ōtsutsuki clansmen there.

According to what I read in the history of the clan's library, never somebody shared Chakra with mortals. Chakra and its variants were closely guarded treasures of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Sharing it with mortals was the gravest sin punishable by Soul Execution.

Chapter 4 – Ōtsutsuki Kirihara
Other factions of the Starveil Universe never gave something to the mortals... with the exception of the God Alliance and the Sage Clan. Both of them were the most annoying enemies of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, albeit for different reasons.

When it came to the God Alliance, Gods were leeching on mortals, especially on humans by spreading their Faith to the mortals and thus getting stronger through worship.

Sage Clan was a different story, as they often taught mortal races how to harvest Nature Chakra and become "cultivators" in a certain sense.

After the Ōtsutsuki Clan conquered and plundered such Cultivation Origin World, the Sage Clan became our most hated enemy because we were aware of what would happen if such methods became widespread.

The only positive about the entire scenario of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya giving humans of the Elemental Nations access to the Chakra and her son teaching them Ninshu was the fact that they never tapped into the true potential of it.

They were using it in a rather primitive way and while some of them were able to get relatively powerful, they still hadn't found out about energy gathering and had never set foot on the "cultivation aspect" of Chakra.

Still, they were a threat because if somebody discovered it, then they could develop into a fairly powerful and fearsome civilization.

"I will need to check up on the Elemental Nations at a later date, it seems..."

***

The truth was that training sucked...

From the moment I ate the Chakra Fruit, I was being trained in the Shinjutsu by one of the Elders who was specializing in it and mainly because he had the same elemental affinities as me for the Dust Element.

That one was extremely rare in the Ōtsutsuki Clan, so I was put under extensive training. Aside from that, my grandfather was teaching me about theoretical aspects of Shinjutsu and even more advanced forms of Chakra Control, which was annoying.

But on the positive side, I got access to the Celestial Chakra Manual, which was essentially a cultivation method for the Chakra users created by Lord Shibai after our clan robbed the Universe of the Cultivators we invaded.

For the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, there wasn't anything like the cultivation realms or anything, as we focused only on the Chakra Gathering and increasing its quality and quantity.

Celestial Chakra Manual was helping in that aspect.

Comprehending and using the manual was making easier to consolidate Charka, refine it, and so on.

I was also focusing on mastering my Dōjutsu, namely the Tensei-Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which I awakened after another twenty years and Senrinjōnegan, where my advance was minimal even after hundred years of training, aside from mastering the basic usage.

And thus, the time flew and I was 250 years old, which felt surreal on the one hand; at the another, it felt only natural.

During the centuries, my strength didn't grow in terms of raw power, but rather I mastered my entire power and my basic abilities.

I was also accomplished in the area of Shinjutsu and Kenjutsu, which was drilled to me by my father because I was rather talented in the aspect of sword-wielding.

Today I would be meeting with my fianceé Ōtsutsuki Kirihara, who was also a member of the Divine Lineage like me.

Actually, she was my cousin, as her father was the elder brother of my mother.

I met her only once when I was a kid and then she departed on a mission to the Western Cosmic Region and was there for more than two hundred years before returning. The marriage was set when I was born because it was important to produce a new generation of the Divine Lineage.

Even though my parents could still have more children, though...

"Hopefully, after this, I will be able to leave the planet and traverse the Universe..."

Through the usage of Senrinjōnegan, I was able to sense that I would gain enormous gains If I went to travel the Universe. The clairvoyant aspect of the Senrinjōnegan was something that already brought me several benefits when I used it.

"I will go first to the Elemental Nations to check on the situation there and use Senrinjōnegan on the planet to see the best course of action."

As I was meditating and resting after another round of training and mastering Dust Shinjutsu Techniques, I suddenly sensed that somebody had landed behind me.

Because all Ōtsutsuki were extremely sensitive to the Chakra and were able to distinguish it easily; I was instantly able to tell that Ōtsutsuki Kirihara had arrived. She was several centuries older than me and had a somehow mature appearance and looked pretty similar to my mother, actually.

Though she looked much sterner and was more developed in her breast department and had the posture of a warrior with her toned muscular physique.

"You have become a training maniac Yakou."

She stated without much emotion... during the time she was on her mission, we often exchanged messages through Extranet.

"And you are as stoic as ever, Kirihara... how was your mission?"

I asked her as she frowned slightly at that.

"Not good... when the Tree was about to ripe; unfortunately, Jashin appeared and destroyed it. Luckily for me, I was still able to harvest some of the Chakra Fruits..."

Jashin was Greater God which was comparable to Tier 3 Ōtsutsuki and was considered very powerful among other Greater Gods.

Not to mention, he was also a mad one, so it seemed that Kirihara had bad luck on her mission.

"Did you hear about that? During my time when I was operating in the Western Cosmic Region on Jashin's Planet, I heard that one of our clansmen went rogue and even gave humans Chakra. I heard that Elders want to dispatch some Ranked Branch Clansmen under someone from the Main Family to investigate it."

This caught my interest, so they already knew about the situation with Kaguya and Isshiki.

"Should we go? This seems interesting and both of us have Senrinjōnegan so we can divine the future to act in the most effective and profitable way."

I instantly used this as an opportunity to go on my first mission and with this, Kirihara would go with me.

Two of us could challenge even some weaker Tier 3 beings and defeat them with our special abilities.

Chapter 5 – First Mission
After we decided to go on the mission together, we went to the Administrative Bureau within the Headquarters of the Clan to get the appropriate mission. Kirihara and I were strong Ōtsutsuki Clansmen of the Divine Lineage and mastered basic Dōjutsu and Abilities.

Not to mention that I was very proficient in the Kenjutsu and my unique ability I awakened when I ate the Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit, Magnetokinesis. I could essentially control any Metal-type I wished with little to no chakra.

When we entered the Administrative Bureau, we went directly to the person in charge of it, who was one of the Elders of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, named Ōtsutsuki Jin. He was an old man, at least with several thousands of years to him, who spent who day with paperwork and bureaucracy.

According to what I heard, he liked it... which was pretty weird because nobody liked paperwork.

"Greetings, Honorable Elder."

Both of us greeted the Elder, who was from the Main Family and was a powerful Tier 4 expert within the Clan.

"Greetings to you as well, Crown Prince and Princess. What brings the members of the Divine Lineage to my humble place."

Ōtsutsuki Clansmen that were from the Divine Lineage had titles Prince and Princesses and because there were not many of us, the actual number counting all generations would be something around 100, probably.

It was easy to distinguish who was who.

"We wish to take a mission; it is one to Planet Earth located in the 7th Galactical Segment, Milky Way Galaxy, Iklaath Star Cluster, Solar System X-103. Mission: Investigate the disappearance of two Branch Clan Members and rumors of Low-Ranking Branch Clansmen Ōtsutsuki Kaguya giving the native population access to Chakra."

And as Kirihara dictated the details of the mission, Elder Jin searched for it within the Extranet and soon enough found the corresponding mission.

"Yes, I have it here... Requirements: At least Tier 2 power and... ability to perform Divination on the Planet. It seems that Grand Elder Muzan wants to experiment with that world a bit..."

This left me and Kirihara surprised a bit, but their objective became much easier now that the big shots are aware of the situation on Planet Earth. Indeed it was a grave danger and the gravest sin, but at the same time, it presented an opportunity to the Clan.

To observe the development of the civilization with Chakra and how knows what it will give them in the end. For that purpose, someone from the Divine Lineage needed to go there and perform Divination with Senrinjōnegan or Senringan on the Planet.

"Then we accept the mission and will depart immediately."

I heard Kirihara say as Elder Jin then formally assigned the mission to us, with rewards being a few thousand Credits. It was not a lot to them, but at the same time, it was a good amount for just going to check on some random planet.

"So, when had Ōtsutsuki Kaguya apparently given Chakra to humans?"

I asked as we left the Administrative Bureau and looked at Kirihara, who appeared to studied the mission more closely than me, who knew only some things according to the canon.

"A few centuries ago... she, together with another Clansmen from the Branch Clan, High-Ranking Member, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, were dispatched to that Planet to plant the God Tree and harvest the Chakra Fruit. It seems that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya betrayed Isshiki and kept the Chakra Fruit for herself. Not unusual among the Branch Clan, but I wonder what has led her to share the Chakra with natives."

I nodded as we then departed towards Planet Earth as a long journey awaited us... unfortunately, Planet Earth was good distance away from Planet Tengoku, where the Headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was located.

"Do you have your Ten-Tails?"

I asked Kirihara because, before anything, we were heading to pick up my Ten-Tails at my home. Seeing Kirihara shaking her head in denial, we would need to be okay with only one for the time being.

I knew that there was another one on Earth, but before the Divination was done, I could do nothing about the creature.

"Then the one I have should be enough in case it would be needed. Also, what are the dangers of the place where are we heading?"

I asked as we were walking to my house while Kirihara was explaining to me the situation o the Universe.

"Surprisingly, the Milky Way Galaxy is a rather desolate place within our Southern Cosmic Region, located on the borders with the Western Cosmic Region, so the influence of some Gods is very noticeable among the mortal civilizations. That is why some Clansmen are sent there every few hundred or thousand years to plant God Trees."

No wonder nobody was bothered by the disappearance of the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in that place because it was far from the reach of the Ōtsutsuki Clan as there was literally nothing of interest.

They were sent there to conduct preliminary scouting of the area and write down all civilizations and Life Planets that could be used for the harvest.

"And it is possible that we would encounter some Apostles of Gods... again... hopefully it would be one of Jashin's so I can return the favor for my poor God Tree."

Kirihara said with anger as she thought about the mad God of Death.

Apostles of Gods were rather common in the border area, mostly because there were pretty weak and nobody would notice when some appeared on the Planet.

"Be careful about what you wish... if Jashin decided to forge the Apostle and use him as his vessel, then he could bring out even peak Tier 2 power from it. And Gods like Jashin are not easy to deal with..."

I said seriously because Gods were dangerous with their methods, not all of them, but some were a pain in the ass to deal with. Even counting out the "cheat" abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Ts... don't worry... this time I will be prepared thoroughly..."

Seeing my fianceé muttering with a dangerous grin, I sighed, hoping that she was speaking the truth and hoping that we won't be meeting anyone related to the more powerful Gods.

Chapter 6 – Elemental Nations?
Southern Cosmic Region, 7th Galactical Segment, Milky Way Galaxy, Iklaath Star Cluster, Solar System X-103, Planet Ear,th or commonly known Elemental Nations.

The Milky Way Galaxy was a desolate Galaxy and far away from any places where anything important took place, so it was a relatively peaceful Galaxy. On top of everything or aside from that, there were not many powerful entities residing in that Galaxy.

The most powerful entity in the Milky Way Galaxy was someone who barely reached Tier 2 through external methods.

In the emptiness of space, an old man was looking at the humans fighting and slaughtering each other en masse on the Elemental Nations, or the Planet Earth as it was called.

He was a relatively tall and pale-skinned man who had deep wrinkles and a strong jawline in his elderly age. He had spiky, shoulder-length, pale brown hair with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear. He also sported a long goatee with pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead and pupilless white eyes.

On his forehead, he had one of the fabled Dōjutsu of the Ōtsutsuki Clan Rinnegan.

The old man sighed as he looked at the blue planet from afar, depressed, guilty and distressed about what had become of his desire for peace.

Suddenly as he was contemplating about the fate of the Earth, he got bad premotion as space folded around his person and he saw several people appearing in the emptiness of the void.

All of them looked like his mother, though much more majestic; their Dōjutsu was different and all three of them were wearing some kind of armor over their bodies.

'So they finally arrived...'

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo long ago suspected that the people of his mother's Clan would sooner or later turn up here.

It was inevitable and even though he didn't fully understand his mother's position in the Clan, he was aware that the newcomer wouldn't come with good intentions.

He observed three Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, two of them were clearly males and one of them was female, though there were distinctive differences between the three of them, as he guessed they must come from the different Lineages of the Clan.

As he was observing them from his Soul Dimension, which was a separate dimension from the realspace, suddenly, all three of them looked directly at them, if as their third eye was peering directly into his very own being.

***

"So the mongrel trash is observing us..."

I said as I looked at the spiritual form of the Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo observing me, Kirihara and Akisue from his Soul Dimension, as he thought that he was hidden from our eyes... impossible, though.

If it were Branch Clasnmen, then it would be possible to hide from them, but from the members of the Main Family?

Not possible... our Dōjutsu saw everything, especially me and Kirihara, who had Senrinjōnegan; there was nothing that could be hidden from our sight.

Mongrels like Hagoromo were rare... Ōtsutsuki Clansmen never mated with lesser species which gave birth to lowly half-bloods and mongrels.

Ōtsutsuki only mated with another Ōtsutsuki or with other superior species, giving birth to another category of Ōtsutsuki, which was called Myriaded Ōtsutsuki, who were part of the Main Family like other Celestial Ōtsutsuki.

For example, current Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan was Myriaded Ōtsutsuki because his father is Divine Ōtsutsuki and his mother is a member of Golden-Horned Demon Race, as far as I was aware his parents were alive, though sleeping at the Clan's Sacred Ground.

Myriaded Ōtsutsuki were those who were part Ōtsutsuki and part of another superior species, giving birth to powerful variants. Because the Ōtsutsuki were species that were adaptable to other powerful Bloodlines, the results were, in some cases, really fearsome.

Though when it came to species like humans... many of the special traits of the Ōtsutsuki were lost on them.

"Come out... Hagoromo."

I said as I applied some of my Chakra on his Soul Dimension, forcing the rat to come out of his hiding place, as my Senrinjōnegan shined in bright blue light and crashed into Hagoromo's Soul Dimension.

Soon enough, he was forced to come down and warily looked at the three of us as we were all levitating high above the Planet Earth in the emptiness of space.

"Who are you?"

He asked warily and with enough hostility as far as I could tell... it appears that he doesn't have the best impression of his own heritage.

"Ōtsutsuki Yakou, the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Divine Lineage of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and member of the Enforcement Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

I introduced myself, though I really doubted that he would recognize anything, but it was mainly for my own amusement... like a lion that was playing with its prey before he killed it, I was playing a bit with the half-breed before I finished his spirit.

'So no attack or anything... boring...'

In a split of a second, I activated my Senrinjōnegan, as the pattern started spinning and I grabbed the soul of Hagoromo and used Seven Paths Technique: Human Path and read his memories before I fed the soul to the Ten-Tails that was sleeping on my shoulder.

"So, here is the situation... it seems that the humans on the worlds have completely weaponized Chakra in their poor attempts to imitate Shinjutsu and only used it as a weapon of war, completely forgetting about any other usage. Now, the interesting thing on the Moon, which is orbiting the Earth, is the Clan of the mongrels that dares to call itself 'Ōtsutsuki', so we are going there and wiping them out."

I said after reading the mind of the Sage of the Six Paths.

"I will be using the Divination on the Planet."

Saying tat, I turned my sight to the Earth and activated the Senrinjōnegan and performed the DIvinaition on the Elemental Nations and the most appropriate course of action for the Ōtsutsuki Clan to maximalize their gains.

After several minutes I closed all three of my eyes as I sighed in relief, getting to know everything necessary.

"We are leaving the Earth and mortals there as they are... for now. The mission is complete; now only Moon remains."

I said as Kirihara and Akisue nodded and we departed to the Moon to meet with the so-called Ōtsutsuki Clan residing there.

Chapter 7 – The Moon
The moon that was orbiting the Elemental Nations or the Planet Earth was slightly different from the other similar celestial bodies that I encountered. It was empty from the inside and was where the so-called Ōtsutsuki Clan lived.

With our current strength, there were zero complications when it came to the destruction of any kind of defenses that the half-breeds installed there.

The only thing that caught my attention were the puppets because they were based on the technology of the Automaton Race.

"Automaton Technology... albeit very primitive one, probably old several thousands of years."

I heard Akisue's comment from the side because Ōtsutsuki Akisue was, in fact, one of the scholars of the Clan who dealt mainly with the technological aspect of the Clan.

Ōtsutsuki Clan was, technically speaking pseudo-cultivation Clan, so we weren't using technology much, but a the same time, it would be foolish to reject the notion completely.

"Does it have any value?"

I asked and seeing Akisue shaking his head in denial; I used Dust Release Shinjutsu as I created a small ball of the Shinjutsu in my right hand and obliterated them all from the face of existence until not even a single atom remained.

"Then we should go..."

Kirihara was bored as hell, but her professionalism wouldn't allow her to voice out her complaints that easily as we continued tearing our way through the defenses of the entrance to the moon.

Aside from the Autonomous Puppets and a few traps, there was nothing notable and after reaching the last gate, we arrived at the inner side of the moon. As we entered, Kirihara spread her senses around the place because she was a natural-born sensor.

"This is weird..."

She muttered as she opened all of her eyes again.

"What is it?"

I raised my brow while looking at her.

"It is empty... I feel only one life signature in the castle in the middle of the moon... but aside from it... there are no people here; this place is a wasteland."

Seeing her distressed, I looked at the castle because this time, when I focused even, I felt something in the castle...

"And there... it energy source with more Chakra than a few Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruits put together. It is like Ōtsutsuki, who is about to enter Sainthood."

Saint was the title for the Tier 3 Ōtsutsuki Clansmen who managed to comprehend Dao based on their Attributes and Affinities they had and naturally after eating an enormous amount of Chakra.

Tier 1 was easy to reach and basically, every Ōtsutsuki Clansmen could reach Tier 1 by adulthood. To reach Tier 2 and become "Planet Buster" one needed to eat one or more Chakra Fruits.

"Most curious... let's increase the speed."

I said because I vaguely remembered what was there, some kind of Energy Vessel in the canon it was, but right now, after spending so many years in this new world, I knew that I could depend on my foreknowledge only up to a certain degree.

As we were approaching the black castle in the distance, because the inner parts of the moon were not that big, there were probably not any kinds of spatial enlargening or something similar, which would increase the living space of this small place.

Suddenly a person appeared in front three of us... he looked like a half-breed Ōtsutsuki with a pathetically weak bloodline because he didn't even have the basic features of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

He had pale skin, shaggy white hair, attractive facial features, and six magatama designs tattooed on his collarbones to resemble a necklace. I noticed that he was keeping his eyes closed because he didn't have them in the first place.

"And this inbred trash dares to call itself Ōtsutsuki?"

Kirihara asked with anger because Ōtsutsuki Toneri looked more like a human with a terminal illness than a member of the Celestial Ōtsutsuki Clan.

When it came to the Clansmen like this... the stance was clear...

Either death or sacrifice.

"Catch him and read his mind... after that, we will feed him to the Ten-Tails..."

A very simple solution for someone like Ōtsutsuki Toneri because he didn't have any particular value as a person nor as a clansman. Not to mention, lowly half-breeds like him proclaiming themselves Ōtsutsuki was the gravest offense.

And naturally, Kirihara did so as I commanded and within several seconds, she disposed of Ōtsutsuki Toneri and I fed him to the Ten-Tails that was sleeping on my shoulder. From the mind of Ōtsutsuki Toneri, she learned of everything important thing that took place on the moon.

Naturally, that included the location and purpose of the Energy Vessel they ridiculously called Tenseigain... like some humiliation to the real eye of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

After we disposed of the trash, the only valuable thing was that particular Energy Vessel as they went to check on it.

"This thing... was created by the Ōtsutsuki Hamura, twin brother of the Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the so-called Sage of Six Paths. This Energy Vessel was gathering power for several thousand years by removing all of the half-breeds Byakugans and clustering them together... for more than five thousand years. The amount of concentrated power it contains is tremendous, probably enough to wipe out several High-Level Planets together at worse and entire Star at best."

This was destructive prowess between Peak Tier 2 or Lower Tier 3...

All three of us stood in front of an enormous Energy Vessel, which looked like yellow/orange colored Tenseigan, which was blazing with powerful Chakra.

"What should we do with the Energy Vessel?"

Kirihara asked me because I was now pondering over the best way to utilize the Energy Vessel.

Due to its unique nature, it contained a tremendous amount of Chakra, which was the truth, but at the same time, it was inferior to the real Chakra Fruit because it lacked the genetic information and benefits for the evolution which each Chakra Fruit contained.

"I think we should absorb it... we can divide it between ourselves and stabilize our Tiers and become stronger. The rest would be used for the Ten-Tails; the stronger the Ten-Tails is, the stronger world we could seed."

I said this because this should be the most efficient way to use the Energy Vessel created by countless Byakugans from the half-breeds.

Chapter 8 – Power Up
Refining such a huge Energy Vessel would be an arduous task even for two of them, but at the same time, it would greatly enhance their strength.

I could see that it would be enough for some weaker Clansmen with a weak bloodline to reach Tier 3. The energy contained in the Energy Vessel was tremendous, even from my point of view.

For the Ōtsutsuki reaching Tiers 1 and 2 was simple as nothing, but starting from Tier 3, there were some specific conditions to be met.

Yes, one could simply go with eating Chakra Fruits all the time and just focus on it.

But after plundering the cultivation Origin World, the Ōtsutsuki assimilated some of their origins and became a semi-cultivation Clan.

Essentially speaking, any Ōtsutsuki that followed the simple path of eating Chakra Fruits to reach higher Tiers would be many times weaker and would lack some special and passive abilities.

Right now, the standard way to reach Tier 3, aside from eating countless Chakra Fruits, was to comprehend a Dao and create a Dao Rune based on the comprehended Dao.

For example, because I held affinities for Space-Time, Lighting and Dust, I could create Dao based on any one of them or based on all of them.

This process was called entering Sainthood.

Because the comprehension of Dao and the creation of the Dao Rune changed the fundamental nature of our being and enhanced every aspect of our strength.

Our Dōjutsu became countless times stronger because the Dao Runes were passive, strengthening our Dōjutsu, as one could create Dao Rune for our Dōjutsu specifically.

Naturally, the creation of the Dao Rune was very hard and because of that, many of clansmen spent centuries creating their Dao Runes based on their Attributes.

The easiest way to create one for the Dōjutsu was because it was Dao Rune stemming from our bloodline.

The rest depended on the comprehension of specific Elements and Dao.

"How do we start?"

Kirihara asked as I pondered about the most efficient way on how to refine this Energy Vessel. After several moments, I finally got the method on how to refine this Energy Vessel as I created ten clones of myself through Shadow Clone Shinjutsu.

Afterward, I created my clones, other "me" dispersed around the Energy Vessel and started inscribing down Fūinjutsu Symbols around the Energy Vessel. Kirihara was never exceptionally good with the Fūinjutsu; her expertise lay in different areas.

"I laid down simple Energy Refinement around the Energy Vessel... we can start right now."

I said while activating the Fūinjutsu Symbols around the Energy Vessel and started drawing the energy out of the Energy Vessel that the half-breeds called "Tenseigan".

I had to admit that the Chakra of it was extremely pure and potent.

And I could feel that my strength was rapidly rising from absorbing a huge amount of Chakra; this was comparable to eating several Chakra Fruit, even though the effect was not that great as it lacked genetic information.

Because we Ōtsutsuki were species that fed on the Genetic Information, it was the greatest way to gain strength; pure energy assimilation and absorption were not that efficient compared to that.

Still, I felt that my Chakra Reserves almost tripled when I was done absorbing my portion of the Energy Vessel. Both me and Kirihara assimilated approximately 35% of the Energy Vessel, while the remaining 30% was reserved for the Ten-Tails.

Unfortunately, this didn't help me to advance my Dōjutsu because the Energy Vessel wasn't a Chakra Fruit. Still, I got a nice increase in Chakra Reserves and that meant my combat prowess skyrocketed in that I could fight several times longer compared to before.

Shortly after I finished, Kirihara was too done with the assimilation of her part of the Energy Vessel, as the light of the Energy Vessel was many times weaker compared to before we started.

"Done?"

I looked at my finaceé and saw that her Chakra Reserves were at least twice of what they were before... the increase from the Energy Vessel was superior to Chakra Fruit, but at the same time, it only increased Chakra Reserves and nothing else.

"Yes... now blowing up a planet should not be a problem for me, even if it is a High-Level one..."

Kirihara answered stoically; she rarely let out any emotions escape her and always maintained her cold, professional and stoic facade that many of the Elders often joked that she was an automaton clone.

Naturally, her professionalism was greatly welcome due to her talent in administrative matters.

"Splendid... I will now wake up the Ten-Tails and let him devour the rest."

I then woke up the sleeping Ten-Tails, who was slumbering on my shoulder, as it hacked with its body before it looked at the Energy Vessel with interest before it enlarged its body countless times over and gulped down the Energy Vessel in one go.

"Will it be okey?"

Kirihara asked me from the side because we were observing how the Ten-Tails was struggling with Energy Vessel, but soon enough, it managed to crush it down and eat the entire Energy Vessel.

After it broke down the Energy Vessel, it shrunk down its previously humongous body and hopped back on my shoulder as we were done with everything.

After the Energy Vessel was destroyed, I felt that the gravity here was changing and everything inside the moon was breaking down.

"The Energy Vessel that the mongrels created was what kept the moon habitable for the half-breeds. Without it, the atmosphere that was artificially created inside the moon is breaking and soon enough, everything here would entirely crumble."

I heard Akisue's comment and in truth, it sounded logical.

"Did we get everything from here?"

Looking at my retainer and seeing him nod his head, I decided that we could go back to the Clan.

"Yes, I got samples of all of their technology and took their entire library and everything of even remote usefulness... even though they were half-breeds who know what they discovered."

With that being said, we departed back to space and headed back to the Clan to submit the report about the mission.

Chapter 9 - Home Again
Planet Tengoku, Southern Cosmic Region, Starveil Origin World

We soon returned back to the Planet Tengoku as I went to submit the results of the mission, this time directly to the Grand Elder of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Ōtsutsuki Muzan.

The things that I saw there... through my Dōjutsu Senrinjōnegan were something that nearly shook me to the core.

"I will be going to meet the Grand Elder."

I stated as I flew to one of the peaks in the headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The enviroment here was naturally tranquil, filled with an unnatural density of Nature Energy, which the Clan was using to "passively cultivate" as we could absorb them to increase our strength.

However, that would take centuries to reach even Tier 2 from Tier 1.

This area was restricted and even among the Clan, there were not many who could enter, it was guarded by extremely potent seals and there were always several Elders and Guardians standing on guard.

Aside from the Elders and a few members of the Divine Lineage, it was off to anyone else and only a very small number of people could go in and out as they wished.

Flying towards the peak where the Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan was meditating, I looked around as I found an elderly man sitting on the ground, cross-legged.

Contrary to the other Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, he looked a bit different...

Way more demonic and evil-looking, his golden horns were distinctive demonic, compared to the Celestial appearance of the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

As the descendant of the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki and Golden-Horned Demon, he was an extremely frightening entity, not to mention even a drop of his blood could demonify ordinary creatures...

And create mindless husks that were essentially his thralls.

"Descendant Ōtsutsuki Yakou greets the Grand Elder Muzan."

I gave him a low bow as his eyes opened slowly and even though he was perfectly controlling his aura, I could feel his power as Tier 5 Empyrean... a multiversal entity with frightening power.

If Ōtsutsuki Muzan was put in Marvel, he would be strong as Odin, the comics version or Darkseid at his peak... and Ōtsutsuki Muzan was far from the strongest members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

To my knowledge, we still had a few sleeping Paragons and other Tier 6 entities that were mainly of either Myriaded Ōtsutsuki or Ancestors of some Myriaded Ōtsutsuki Clansmen that I heard my grandfather say about it.

"Have you completed the mission? What did you see?"

He asked seriously, as I was unsure what to say before I motioned to my Senrinjōnegan because it was something that I couldn't really describe with simple words anymore.

"It would be best if I show you, Grand Elder."

I said as he nodded and both of Senrinjōnegans that we had started glowing, though his own glowed with very ominous crimson light, as it was affected by his Demonic Energy from his Demonic heritage.

The memories and information were exchanged within several moments before Grand Elder Muzan looked something between delighted and gravely pale.

"So it is like this... indeed great gains come with equally great danger. You did the right thing to leave that planet, but the situation is far more dangerous than we have initially anticipated. Who would have thought that a single rogue clansman would cause so much trouble."

Grand Elder Muzan muttered seriously as he was thinking over some things.

"What should be done about the situation, Grand Elder?"

I asked for further instruction as the Grand Elder looked at me sternly.

"I will go and consult this with Patriarch... considering what you saw; we need to consult this with Ancestors. The congregation of Fate is tremendous around the Earth and we could benefit greatly if we handle the situation carefully."

Humans of the Elemental Nations were probably the sole civilizations in the Starveil Origin World that had access to Chakra. Nobody ever gave something like this to humans and now the Ōtsutsuki Clan was the first to carry out the experiment.

What I saw there, in truth, either terrified me or filled me with excitement.

If it went great, we could harvest something that would allow our Clan to rise greatly, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of knowledge, because the Shinobi were developing at a fast pace, creating new techniques and other things...

Some of them even I found intriguing.

Another thing was that if God Tree harvested the Elemental Nation together with its fate... it would probably allow someone to reach Tier 5 with ease.

If it went wrong, then usage of Chakra may spread across the Starveil Origin World and humans will embark on the path of Chakra Cultivation would become a threat... a grave threat.

Even though, on average, it would take them a long to reach our level of strength...

Even the cultivation Origin World that Ōtsutsuki Clan conquered and harvested had been developing for billions of years, and their power system had more than fifteen realms... but Chakra was powerful energy and with a lot of potential to get strong very, very quickly.

"I understand, Grand Elder... is there anything else?"

I asked because it seemed that Grand Elder knew about some things that I was unaware of, but it was way out of my league.

"Nothing... go to the Elder Ryusei for the Body Forging as your reward for this..."

My eyes gleamed with surprise because this was a very good reward... Body Forging performed by the Elder Ryusei, who was Myriaded Ōtsutsuki with being half-dragon, a very powerful dragon lineage in his blood flew...

Body Forging was a process where one's body was strengthened through specific rituals and the usage of precious materials. One of the most significant weaknesses that the Ōtsutsuki Species had were our bodies.

We managed to alleviate some of it due to incorporating several cultivation elements from the conquered Cultivation Origin World into our own, but that was only half of the solution.

The second part was the invention of Body Forging, which allowed the Ōtsutsuki to reforge their bodies and made them countless times stronger.

Until one reached Sainthood, the Ōtsutsuki's body wasn't that strong compared to our capabilities with Chakra and the Body Forging was essentially important to strengthen our bodies.

Another effect of the Body Forging was that the amount of Chakra one's body could hold would increase, meaning one could eat more Chakra Fruits. With this mission completed, I got a nice reward in the form of another Body Forging.

Because of my position and talent, I already underwent Body Forging several times in my life, but aside from it getting it as something to supplement my rapid breakthroughs, if I wanted to undergo it more, I needed to pay.

Or complete the missions.

"Thank you very much, Grand Elder."

I thanked him before I heard him say something as he disappeared back to his small cottage, leaving behind two tokens for the Body Forging, one was obviously for me and another was for Kirihara.

She was also of the Divine Lineage and was a talent worth cultivating.

Naturally, the Clan invested a lot of resources into her.

I heard my grandfather say that she had the potential to reach Tier 5 Empyrean.

Not many in the Clan reached that level.

Ōtsutsuki Clan Hierarchy
The entire Clan is divided between the Main Family and Branch Family.

Main Family consists of:
1. Divine Lineage - Directly descended from Lord Shibai
2. Main Family - Celestial Ōtsutsukis or Myriaded Ōtsutsukis
3. Ascended Line - Ascended Branch Family Members who have undergone Ancestral Awakening

Branch Family consists of:
4. Ranked Member - Those who ate Chakra Fruit and Awakened their Bloodline
5. High-Ranking Member
6. Low-Ranking Member

Ranks within the Clan:
Ancestors
Patriarch
Grand Elders
Elders
Ordinary Members

************

Racial Evolutions of the Ōtsutsuki Clan
1. Divine Ōtsutsuki
2. Celestial Ōtsutsuki - standard Ōtsutsuki of Main Family / Myriaded Ōtsutsuki Half-Blooded with their other half coming from a race on par with Ōtsutsuki Clan
3. Pure-Blooded Ōtsutsuki - Awakened - Those who ate the Chakra Fruit
4. Pure-Blooded Ōtsutsuki - Unawakened - Not eaten Chakra Fruit
5. Half-Blooded Ōtsutsuki - Half-Breeds with low races like humans
 
Cultivation Realms + Notes / Info
Essentially the Ōtsutsuki Clan has two ways of obtaining power:

The first is through pure assimilation of Chakra Fruits, where they slowly but steadily obtain power and ascend through the higher Tiers. This is their original and standard way of power before the invention of Evolutionary Cultivation by Lord Shibai to achieve the Tier 7 Transcendental.

Tier 1 Tectonic

Tier 2 Planetary

Tier 3 Stellar

Tier 4 Cosmic

Tier 5 Multiversal

Tier 6 Extradimensional

Tier 7 Transcendental - Impossible to reach with this method

In this power system, one just needs to eat Chakra Fruits and upgrade his power, slowly but steadily ascending through Tiers, obtaining "Dao" and so on, solely through the Chakra Fruits.

While the Ōtsutsukis could obtain Dao also through the first method, as they assimilate countless Chakra Fruits, the great disadvantage is that while they "comprehended" Dao, they don't understand it properly and can't even control it.

This method is nowadays only used by those Ōtsutsukis who don't have the aptitude and talent for comprehending Dao, as the Clan already considers this method primitive.

***

The second method is through Evolutionary Cultivation, where they start cultivating at Tier 2 and becoming cultivators. Evolutionary Cultivation is fusing together two aspects: 1st the Bloodline Evolution of their original way and 2nd Dao Comprehension.

Tier 3 - Saint Realm

Tier 4 - Holy Lord Realm

Tier 5 - Empyrean Realm

Tier 6 - Paragon Realm

Tier 7 - Autarch

Naturally, the first path is many times easier compared to the second one, but the second one, while harder, brings many more benefits as it fuses perfectly with the Bloodline Evolution and Dao Comprehension.

This, in the end, results in a great disparity between those who practice Evolutionary Cultivation and those who don't...

For example, one Saint Realm could fight more than 10 Tier Ōtsutsukis at the same time and came out victorious mainly because of his superior control and understanding of Dao.
 
Chapter 10 – Getting a Familiar
Right now, I wasn't in the mood to undergo the torturous ritual of Body Forging, so before anything, I decided to go home and prepare for the Body Forging ritual mentally and physically.

The Body Forging Ritual could be dangerous and one could suffer severe injuries if the person made some mistake during it or couldn't handle the ritual.

'I should also get a familiar already... this is something that I have been neglecting for a long time already.'

Familiars were pretty similar to the summoned creatures of the Elemental Nations that the Shinobi used. However, the connection between the Familiar and its master was much closer and their bond was many times stronger.

'I should ask mother what the best familiar would be there for me.'

Most of my family members or those of the Main Clan, Divine Lineage and some of the Myriaded Ōtsutsuki with powerful heritage had very powerful familiars.

Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu, as a partial Dragonoid, had the powerful Dragon of the Metal Dragons as his Familiar.

My grandfather had Void Behemoth as Familiar, which was an extremely frightening creature that traveled through the Void in between the worlds and was extremely dangerous.

It could eat planets for snacks; essentially, it was a monster version of Ōtsutsuki 2.0...

Meanwhile, I was flying to my home; I looked around the headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki, which looked like it was cut out from the Xianxia cultivation novel.

The entire Tengoku Planet had several continents and the continent on which the headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was located had the best environment and conditions.

On this continent, only members of the Main Family were allowed to live and Branch Clan Members could enter only with permits from the Elders of the Clan or if they were summoned.

When I returned home, I noticed that my father was absent and only my mother was present right now. As father was head of the Enforcement Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he was often dealing with paperwork and other things.

"Ohhh... my baby boy is home."

Instantly as my mother felt my presence, she almost crushed me in a bear hug, as she behaved like I was lost in space for several thousand years.

"I am a home mom."

After checking me several times over, she finally let me go as we went into our mansion.

She was a really overprotective parent... compared to my father, who, during his training, almost killed me several times, they were like two different worlds.

"What happened? Are you hurt?"

She asked me when she noticed that I was contemplating about my future, a familiar choice.

"Not hurt, just thinking... I think it is time to choose my familiar finally... I have been putting this away for decades, but right now, I have good strength to enter into a contract with a powerful familiar."

Familiar binding was something that required several conditions and personal strength was one of the most important ones.

"That is indeed an important step...Easiest would be to contract someone from either my or your father's familiar species."

I knew that my father had contracted Three-Eyed Nemean Lion, while my mom had Catopus as her familiar and my grandmother had Cathulhu.

"I doubt that I have the strength to contract some of the Nemean Lions... those are extremely powerful Chakra Beasts and their pride is immeasurable, too much hassle..."

I saw my mother nod to my statement before she took out a small scroll.

"Then I suppose you could try to contract some of the Cathulhu or Catopus species... I myself have Catopus as my familiar and Nyan-Nyan is close to evolving to a true Cathulhu after he devours another few civilizations."

Catopus was, essentially and frankly speaking, some sort of abomination between Cat and Octopus, but they looked extremely cute and adorable.

When I was a kid, I tended to play with my mother's Catopus Nyan-Nyan lot because she wouldn't let me leave home unit I was powerful enough.

Meanwhile, Cathulhus were the Eldritch version of Cats...

Even though they looked like overgrown Catopus, they were frightening entities that could eat entire stars in one go, were master slavers that enslaved countless civilizations and overall were extremely powerful.

Even the weakest Cathulhu was Cosmic Entity and their home was in another Origin World, outside of the Starveil Origin World, where they ruled supreme. Evidently, from what I heard, their species enslaved their whole world, so Cathulhus, Catopuses and Cats reigned as supreme Gods.

"Well... it would be nice to have Catopus as Familiar..."

Indeed such a creature would be best for me... even before my reincarnation, I loved cats and during my childhood, I spent a lot of it with Nyan-Nyan.

"Splendid... I think Meowmeow would be delighted that another Ōtsutsuki Divine got contracted to Catopus; thanks to our Clan alone, at least 30 Catopuses evolved to Cathulhus in a record time."

I saw my mother puff her chest with pride... considering the nature of the Catopus evolution was like and the nature of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was like, we went really well together.

Obviously, we even had an official Covenant of Supreme Cat signed between the Ōtsutsuki Clan and Cathlhu Origin World, which essentially forced the Ōtsutsuki Clan to protect any cats they found and transport them to either their own territory or to the Cathulhu Dimension.

"Now, we need to procure some fishes... Catopuses and Cathulhus alike like food the most, though their favorite food is fish. So it would be most prudent to prepare some of their favorite food after we summon them. Cathulhus live in a different Origin World within our Chaotic Source Dimension and Void is separating our worlds."

The Void was a term for the emptiness in between the Origin Worlds, which is a term for dimension.

Depending on the structure, it could be planetary-based construction like the Starveil Origin World or a Planar-based one like most of the cultivation-based Origin Worlds.

Aside from the Origin Worlds, there existed unique dimensions across the Void, most commonly created by supreme experts, typically Transcendents, which house life.

They were smaller than the Origin Worlds, but some of these unique Dimensions were extremely powerful.

And all of these units existed within one Chaotic Source World.

"We will need to summon some cute little Catopus for you to be your familiar and be sure to groom it to Cathulhu..."

I heard my mother say as I nodded in agreement and we went out to procure some fishes and other types of sea lifeforms.

My mother was very helpful when it came to this because she was something like a Familiar Master in the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Aside from the Catopus Nyan-Nyan, she had contracted several other weaker Catopuses and other breeds of Cats from the Cathulhu Origin World. In truth, she hoarded a small army of fluff and tails that she could call to her help.

While we were going to search for fish for the kitties, I created several Shadow Clones through the Shadow Clone Shinjutsu and ordered them to train in the Kenjutsu, Shinjutsu and racial abilities and Dōjutsu.

When they dispersed, they would transfer their gains to me and thus, I would be able to comprehend and learn almost anything, master countless disciplines very fast; this was essentially a cheat of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Chapter 11 - Munya
Several hours later, we gathered several rare fishes from the oceans on the north pole of the Tengoku Planet and some were from a few aquatic planets around the Southern Cosmic Region of the Starveil Origin World under the rule of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Naturally, these fishes were very powerful creatures; some of them were strong enough to kill Tier 1 Ōtsutsuki with ease, especially the ones from the depths of the Aquadar Planet.

With this done, the last thing was to summon someone from the Cathulhu Origin World who would answer my call and enter into a contract with me and become my familiar.

Naturally, this would be an ordinary procedure, but mom told me a way how to bypass it... and it was relatively simple.

She would summon Nyan-Nyan, who right now has returned to the Cathulhu Origin World and bribe him with fishes and food.

Then we would ask Nyan-Nyan to help us summon some Catopuses with a good potential that would be amicable to enter into Familiar Contract with me.

"Could we start already?"

I asked my mom as she nodded and summoned her Familiar Nyan-Nyan to her side from his home Dimension.

Suddenly within a moment, a small ginger Catopus appeared.

Nyan-Nyan had shining ginger fur and several fluffy tentacles like an octopus, but they were all covered by fur; even though they looked fluffy and cuddly, the tentacles of a Catopus were deadly weapons.

"Why did you summon me, nya? I was resting nya..."

He yawned as he opened his eyes, revealing his yellow eyes as his ears twitched in annoyance and his tail was curling up behind him.

Even to me, it was clear that poor Nyan-Nyan was just woken up as he was resting.

Naturally, Nyan-Nyan was very powerful for a Catopus at Tier 2 and was on the verge of evolving into Cathulhu.

When he evolves, he will reach Tier 4 standard in a split second; most of their power depends on their Evolutions and the specific Laws they comprehended.

Obviously, as mom had Nyan-Nyan as her familiar for several centuries, she instantly knew how to handle grumpy Catopus and showed him a plethora of fishes.

While some of which were extremely powerful and radiating powerful energy.

"Fish nya..."

Instantly Nyan-Nyan disappeared in a flash and started stuffing the fishes with his tentacles and eating one after another while ignoring everything that was happening.

"Why have you summoned me Akiri-nya?"

Nyan-Nyan asked in between as he was eating and mother knew that she had essentially won.

"Little Yakou is getting his familiar and he wants to contract a Catopus... so I was wondering if you could get us some Catopuses that would want to become his Familiar. Naturally, the terms of the contract are the same as with the other Ōtsutsukis..."

I heard mother say while I stayed most of the time silent, as I left everything to her because she was an expert negotiator in this thing.

Seeing the Nyan-Nyan thinking about the thing, he ate one more fish before he started waving his fluffy tentacles.

"That is possible nya... I will contract several kitties, though they are very weak, on the level of stronger mortals though, but with a lot of potential. Direct descendants of mighty Cathulhus."

Nyan-Nyan said as he closed his eyes and started sending messages to the Cathulhu Dimension before; within several seconds, two scrolls fell down from the spatial crack.

"These two would be the most suitable for you nyan..."

Nyan-Nyan then passed two scrolls to me with his tentacles and after that was done, he turned all of his attention to eating the huge horde of fishes and other types of seafood that was brought here for him.

I studied the two summoning scrolls before I dropped a drop of blood on both of them because, in truth, I intended to contract both Catopuses as my familiar fluff forever.

Soon after, two space cracks appeared above the two scrolls and two Catopuses came out of them. They were much smaller than Nyan-Nyan and their appearance was also different.

One of them had white fur with black stripes and orange eyes, while the other Catopus had grey fur with green eyes. In other aspects, aside from the size, they looked very similar to the Nyan-Nyan.

"So this is the Ōtsutsuki that summoned both of us, munya."

Stated the white-furred Catopus as the other one nodded it's head?

"Yes, it is meow... a fine servant for the cult of the almighty Cat and glory to the Cathulhus."

Replied the grey Catopus and as I heard them, I wondered if they were actually members of some weird cult because their speech reminded me of some fanatical worshippers of the Gods.

"Nice to meet you; my name is Ōtsutsuki Yakou, little kitties."

I said as they waved their tentacles in annoyance, probably not liking the addressing them as "little kitties".

"I am Nyanko meow."

The grey Catopus introduced herself and from the name and her elegant stature, I deduced that she was little lady Catopus.

"Nian munya."

And the white Catopus was clearly a male one.

"Why did you summon as Celestial-hooman meow?"

Nyanko asked me as I nodded my head; after what, the two Catopuses ran around me and with their tentacles, they claimed on my body and both of them took place on my shoulders.

Nyanko chose my right shoulder while Nian chose the left one, as they were checking me right and left, deciding if I was good material. For the Catopuses, getting a good master was a way how to speed roll through countless millennia needed for their Ascension and Evolution.

I was Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki, who reached 2nd-Grade Tier 2 in a short time, so I was very powerful for my age and my potential was outstanding.

"Good one munya, munya!"

I heard Nian shout right to my left eat as his tentacle was gripping my horns and my brows mildly twitched in annoyance.

Most of the Ōtsutsuki members didn't like when their horns were touched.

Actually, this rule also extends to the majority of species that had horns on their head; for some, it was even a so-called erogenous zone, while for others, the horns were a symbol of their strength and pride.

Suddenly I felt two strings of fate establishing between two Catopuses and me as they became my familiars while light particles dispersed around us.

When the Familiar Contract was completed, the cats rushed to the horde of fishes and sealife that were prepared for Nyan-Nyan and started eating. I wasn't surprised at this because all Catopuses and Cathulhus were gluttons and their favorite activity was eating.

Chapter 12 – 3 Years
3 Years Later

Planet Tengoku of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was as peaceful as ever and because three years timespan was essentially nothing for the Ōtsutsuki Clan where every ordinary Clansmen lived for thousand years and that were those who never ate Chakra Fruit.

After eating the Chakra Fruit, one obtained an endless lifespan essentially, as we could live theoretically forever due to the tremendous strength of our genes that were always regenerating and replicating.

Three years have passed since the moment I contracted Nyanko and Nian as my familiar and two cute Catopuses were developing at a steady speed.

Both of them were spending the majority of their time sleeping or eating.

If they were not sleeping or eating, they were trying to boss me around to bring them some rare food or whatever.

Because they were still relatively young Catopuses, they were still very playful and demanded that I play with them, which I always obliged.

I spent most of my time either training my abilities or practicing the Celestial Chakra Manual to have the best Chakra Control possible.

Because the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen had a tremendous amount of Chakra, the easiest and hardest way to gain more strength was to increase and perfect the Chakra Control. It was hard because perfecting control over Chakra was a very arduous task that required a lot of time.

In my case, a lot of time and a lot of Shadow Clones, I never tested my limit with the Shadow Clones, but I could create hundreds of them with relative ease without feeling tired or anything.

The easy aspect of it was that when someone increased their Chakra Control, it meant that consumption of Chakra for Shinjutsu or any other things was lessened and the potency was increased, meaning increasing the Chakra Control was a fast way to gain strength.

Obviously, with each increase of Chakra Reserves and each Chakra Fruit eaten, one needed to practice the Chakra Control once again because even Low-Grade Chakra Fruit contained a tremendous amount of Chakra.

During the past years, I officially became an Expert within the Shadow Clone Shinjutsu and Dust Release Shiunjutsu, but the most surprising thing and my most important achievement was passing the Master Fūinjutsu Exams.

For that, I needed to go to the Sealing Association within Planet Tengoku, where I got tested and became a certified master of the Fūinjutsu. I have a very good talent for the Fūinjutsu and there were not many masters in the Fūinjutsu in the Clan.

Unfortunately, it appeared that not everything could be solved with the Shadow Clone Shuinjutsu and sometimes even talent was needed. For me, the thing was that I had very strong Affinities for Space-Time.

Affinity for the Space-Time was needed for someone to be proficient with the Fūinjutsu and become higher ranked than Novice.

Simple seals up to the Novice and some of the Adept rank could be learned, even those without affinity for Space-Time.

Today was an important day because I would be finally going to the Elder Ryu for the Body Forging, as I had been pushing it for three years already.

I let the Catopuses sleep because just one hour ago, they had their fill of food...

'If it wasn't for that, I am pretty privileged; just money to feed these two would totally ruin me...'

I thought as I looked at two cute Catopuses that were sleeping peacefully after eating a small horde of fishes that were directly shipped here from an exclusive location and were worth of around one Low-Grade Chakra Fruit...

Fortunately, because the Clan had Covenant with the Cathulhus, the expenses were paid by Clan for the majority and the rest was paid by Clan only for me as I was Crown Prince.

Naturally, when I would depart from the Clan, then it would be up to me and them alone to find food.

Leaving my home, I went directly to the place where the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu was performing the Body Forging Ritual because it was in the secluded part of the Headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Sometimes the Body Forging was carried out on powerful members of the Ōtsutsuki, including Saints and Holy Lords, meaning even Tier 3 and Tier 4 beings underwent the Body Forging here and the residual energy released during the procedure could be really fearsome.

Due to that, the Body Forging was specifically carried in a special location that was strengthened by powerful Fūinjutsu to prevent any damage or losses of life from the side.

When I arrived at the mountain peak where the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu had his special area, deep within the mountain that was engraved with countless Fūinjutsu Seals.

The entire place was guarded by several powerful members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan due to the things that were stored within the mountain. In this place, there were countless precious resources used for the Body Tempering procedures.

It didn't take me a long time to find the chambers where the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu was cultivating in a certain sense.

The cultivation system of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, created by Lord Shibai himself, was starting from reaching Tier 2. Even an idiot could reach Tier 2 by eating Chakra Fruits and become a Planetary Level being.

To reach Tier 3, or rather Saint Realm, one needed to perfect his Genetic Code, which was rather easily achievable through eating powerful Chakra Fruits and other methods. The more tricky part was the creation of the Dao Rune based on the Elemental Attribute and the subsequent awakening of the Celestial Spirit.

Once all three conditions were achieved, one would become Saint who could use Incomplete Domain Expansion and Divine Sense. These superior abilities were something that divided ordinary "Mortals" from the higher beings...

Requirements to reach the Holy Lord Realm, the Tier 4 Cosmic Being, were even more arduous and even among the Ōtsutsuki Clan, only a few reached it through Evolutionary Cultivation...

Naturally, those who reached these Tiers by only eating Chakra Fruits were weaker than those who went through Evolutionary Cutlviation because the Evolutionary Cultivation strengthened not only the racial abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan but also all other aspects and they obtained new skills.

Frankly speaking, only the people from the powerful Bloodlines among the Celestial Ōtsutsukis or Myriaded Ōtsutsukis of the Main Clan would reach Holy Lord Realm, while others only became ordinary Tier 4 through eating Chakra Fruits.

The process with Chakra Fruits was sometimes more arduous because the number of Chakra Fruits needed was... tremendous, to say at least.

Even though a lot of Tier 4 and higher powerhouses of the Ōtsutsuki were the ones who didn't use Evolutionary Cultivation because the requirements were too harsh.

Though who did use it were the true backbone of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and were typically Elders, Grand Elders, Protectors, Lords or people with some special status.

Chapter 13 – Body Forging… Again
Ōtsutsuki Ryu was right now in the process of deep cultivation, as he was one of the few Holy Lords of the Ōtsutsuki who were attempting to reach the Empyrean Realm and officially become a Tier 5 Multiversal Entity.

I waited in front of the cultivation chamber of the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu; for sure, the powerful Holy Lord of the Ōtsutsuki Clan felt that I was already waiting for him there. Contrary to me, Kirihara underwent Body Forging already long ago.

She used the token a good time ago while I was training my other abilities. The case of Elemental Nations, from what I heard, was solved directly by the Ancestors, as even one of the sleeping Ancestors was awoken from his slumber and went to observe the Elemental Nations.

I don't know what the higher-ups of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were aware of, but it was important enough to send one of the Paragons to observe over the Elemental Nations, just to be sure...

While I waited here for some time before the doors to the chambers opened and revealed meditating figure of the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu, who had very strong and distinctive Dragonoid features.

Contrary to the ordinary Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu had more like dragon horns over the top of his head and his physique was much more muscular than ordinary Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

"Are you here for the Body Forging Procedure?"

He asked me when he opened his eyes as I nodded and he motioned me to enter the chambers.

"Your physique is quite good considering the fact that you are essentially a Tier 2 being... considering the strength of your Divine Blood, we will need to apply some stronger resources... I think that I have something perfect for this."

I heard Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu say before he disappeared to the back side of his chambers and brought several vials with him, filled with thick red liquid.

Just from looking at that blood, I felt its tremendous power that was even affecting me as Divine Ōtsutsuki.

"This is the blood of Heavenly Red Dragon that reached the peak of Tier 4; it would do wonders for the body tempering during the Body Forging procedure."

Among the Dragons, Heavenly Dragons were those who reached the standard of Tier 4 Cosmic entity and were one of the most powerful dragons ever.

Blood of Red Dragon that became Heavenly Dragon was a peerless treasure in the Starveil Origin World... considering the fact that the dragons were rare in the Starveil Origin World.

Though there existed some small communities of dragons still living in our Origin World, but they were rare and not many dared to intrude over their territory. All dragons were extremely territorial and they always went for the kill, not to mention they were very easily offended.

I almost gulped from thinking about how painful this would be because the blood of Heavenly Red Dragon was out of my initial expectation... this was a resource that was reserved for Saints to use for Body Forging, not for me...

But at the same time, if I underwent and tempered my physique, then my physical strength would be superior to even many of the Tier 3 Ōtsutsukis and technically speaking, my Chakra Resistance would increase tremendously.

Dragons were famous for inherent and racial energy resistance, energy-based attacks were not working on them well and one needed to have either a superior and very destructive element or the attack must be overwhelmingly strong to overcome the energy resistance of the said dragon.

Ōtsutsuki Clansmen didn't have Chakra Resistance, although we could use our Rinnegans to disperse most of the energy attacks, mainly the Chakra-based ones that were on the same grade as we were or those which were weaker.

Cultivating the Chakra Resistance was something that many of us strived to obtain, but only very few from the Clan obtained even an elemental one. Naturally, any kind of Charka Resistance was tremendously valuable for us because it increased our combat prowess.

Because Chakra was a combination of Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy, it was a very powerful type of energy and having Chakra Resistance equaled to being resistant to some other types of energies that the Ōtsutsuki Clan encountered during its very long existence.

"Sit down in the middle of the sealing formation and we can start."

I heard the Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu as I went down and sat in the middle of a huge kanji letter and soon enough, the entire room lit up as all Fūinjutsu Seals in the room lit up and sealed it perfectly to prevent any accidents.

When he opened the bottle with the sealed blood of the Red Dragon that became Heavenly Dragon, the Fūinjutsu Seal started containing the energy released by the several drops of blood and transferring it into my own body.

The very second it entered my body, the ferocious draconic aura was destroying my tissues, bones and bone marrow while my body was constantly reconstructing itself in real-time.

I grit my teeth to hold the pain back because this was only the start of the procedure, as this was just the residual aura from the few drops of blood.

The real deal would be the blood itself, which I needed to refine personally. Within the next one hour, I completely absorbed the draconic aura released by the blood of Heavenly Red Dragon and I felt that my physical strength increased by approximately 20%.

"Phase 1 of the Body Forging is done... we can proceed to phase 2; I will now fuse the dragon blood with your body."

I heard Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu say as I observed how the dragon blood hovered above me as Elder Ryu pushed the dragon blood to my chest and started the fusion process.

The second it entered my body, I felt tremendous pain because the overwhelming power of the dragon blood and its aggressiveness started destroying my body from the inside.

Though to counter-attack this, my own Divine Blood reacted strongly and started ferociously devouring the dragon blood of the Heavenly Red Dragon.

Naturally, the Divine Lineage of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was far superior to that of Heavenly Red Dragon, so when my bloodline was stirred awake and started devouring the dragon blood.

The powerful and potent energy was being absorbed into my body and my Genetic Code was getting stronger and stronger. My body were destroyed together with every single Cell that broke down, it quickly regenerated and the process started over.

Six hours later, my body underwent several cycles of destruction and regeneration; the Cells got stronger and my physique was at least four to five times stronger than before the Body Forging...

Now I can expand my Chakra Reserves several times over because due to my body getting stronger, it could hold much more Chakra.

Chapter 14 – Training and…
When the process was finished, I stretched my body a little bit after the Body Forging procedure was completed and I felt stronger than ever. Right now, after such successful Body Forging, I was tempted to go out and test my power.

Maybe I should go to the Outer Regions of the Southern Cosmic Region and Easter Cosmic Region, where the Ōtsutsuki Clan was fighting against the Automatons for control over newly created galaxies that were created from the expansion of the Chaotic Source World.

Because our Chaotic Source World, the Starveil Universe, was very young, it was constantly expanding. Essentially, every few thousand years, it would undergo a wave of expansion, which was unprecedented growth.

"After you have finished, you could go your own way... I have other things to do."

I heard Elder Ōtsutsuki Ryu say as I gave him one low bow before I disappeared from his mountain peak.

The first thing I needed to do was to take a bath to get rid of the impurities and other things that were pushed out from my body during the Body Forging.

***

Several hours later, I was home alone only with my Catopuses because both of my parents were out of the home.

When I returned home, I found a note that father was dispatched by Grand Elder to the border with Gods, as they found some powerful Gods crossing into our borders.

Meanwhile, my mother was right now hunting down some Psionic Crystals for the Nyan-Nyan as some appeared within the Southern Cosmic Region.

Psionic Energy or Psychic Energy was a special kind of energy that was used by Catopuses or Cathulhus.

Similarly, like the Ōtsutsukis used Chakra, cats had their own.

"Horned-hooman is back, nyan."

I heard the voice of one of my Catopuses; more precisely, it was Nyanko as I saw the grey-furred Catopus crawl here on her tentacles as she woke up.

Compared to Nian, she was a very lively and active one.

"Yes I am back Nyanko..."

I scratched her behind her ear as she purred soundly, happy with the attention that I was giving her.

"Do you want something to eat? And where is Nian?"

Asking her, she motioned with her tentacle to the side where my other Catopus familiar was sleeping soundly.

Nian was an extremely lazy Catopus who only knew how to sleep and eat; contrary to Nyanko, it was an entirely different world.

"Yes hooman, nyan. I want a fish nyan!"

Nyanko shouted as I then went and gave her some fish so she could eat her fill. Seeing Nyanko happily munching on her salmon, I scratched her head and let her eat while I went to the training room to practice my abilities further.

Using the Shadow Clone Shinjutsu, I created several tens of clones of myself and started dividing work between the Clones.

As usual, one group of clones focused on the Celestial Chakra Manual, the second focused on the training in the Kenjtusu, and the last focused on training in the Shinjutsu.

All of these three aspects were crucial because they were base of my power.

Looking at all of the Shadow Clones, I created another few tens of clones and ordered them to train ocular abilities.

With the Dōjutsu of Tensei-Sharingan, my training speed was tremendous; unfortunately, after passing a certain level in most, the effects of the Sharingan's Copy Wheel and Memorizations were diminished greatly.

That seemed from the profoundness of advanced Kenjutsus or Shinjutsus and such things couldn't be copied purely with Dōjutsu alone. Naturally, the Dōjutsu was still very powerful and useful even with the advanced techniques because it sped up learning...

Some of the more profound techniques could take even several years at best and at worse, even a few centuries until one mastered some really profound moves or techniques. Having powerful Dōjutsu could hasten it by even 30% in some cases.

Training with the Dōjutsu was something that every Ōtsutsuki Clansmen did, but depending on the strength of their very own bloodlines, the results and time required for the training varied.

For the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis, they would always need to spend centuries mastering even their basic abilities.

This was due to the power that their Dōjutsu contained and in the end, nature was fair and balance was always achieved.

My Shadow Clones divided then themselves into training with the Tensei-Sharingan and in the Senrinjōnegan, mainly the 7 Path Techniques of the Rinnegan aspects. Senrinjōnegan was very hard Dōjutsu to master, even for many of the Divine Lineage members.

From the Senrinjōnegan, I have currently had a good grasp on Threat Detection and Clairvoyance, especially Threat Detection was something that I learned very easily and could detect even the weakest malevolent negative emotions.

Combined with Clairvoyance, I was able to predict the enemy's movements during the fight, something that was a feat even among the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis. Combat prediction was rare and the Clansmen that created it among the Divine Lineage could be counted on one hand.

"After this training round, I should go to the Mission Administration and take up some tasks to experience the combat."

During the past centuries since I was born, I never participated in any warfare and during this time, it was the perfect opportunity to fight on the outer rim of the Cosmic Region.

While going to fight against Automatons as my first ever warfare wasn't the best idea, the outer rim was still relatively safe.

"Let's get into it..."

***

3rd POV, several months later...

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara was right now heading toward the home of her fianceé Ōtsutsuki Yakou; she was pretty pissed up about her finaceé because he missed several of the planned courtship meetings as they were engaged.

Naturally, Kirihara was aware that Yakou was essentially a training maniac and even could be considered a battle maniac who was obsessed with getting stronger and stronger.

For that reason, he was already 2nd Grade Tier 2 and his combat prowess was nothing to scoff at.

Even though the Shadow Clone Shinjutsu could speed up the training tremendously, if someone's talent was zero then no matter how high the multiplication was, the progress would also equal to zero.

'It could have ended much worse... at least Yakou is kind and even though that idiot is dense as a rock, at least he is relatively decent as a person.'

One of the Ōtsutsuki Princess thought to herself because, as it was known, not many of the Ōtsutsuki had such good personalities.

Though as a whole, the psychic state of the Main Family of the Ōtsutsuki, while the personalities of the Branch Clasnmen were... not that savory.

Failed products they were...

"It's Kirihara hooman, munya!"

She heard a cute voice belonging to one of Yakou's familiars who were Catopuses.

Small Warning: I never read ATG fully only up to chapter 970 or so... though I read shiton of fanfics about it (After some time I found out that I am allergic to typical Xiaxia troupes so I can't read things that contains Face Slapping or arrogant weak young masters which prompted me partially to write this fic)

Chapter 15 – Courting…
She warily looked at the white-furred Catopus because the last time she attempted to pet the creature, she was bitten by it and its tentacles were used like whips.

"Yes, it is... where is your master?"

She asked the Catopus while she took out some treats from her personal dimension and gave it to Nian, who greedily ate everything as he purred loudly because he greatly enjoyed the treats.

"Master is training, munya... If you have some more treats, I will call him for you munya."

Kirihara then nodded at the white-furred Catopus with black stripes as she took out more treats and fed to Nian.

After several minutes after Nian had his fill, he then subsequently disappeared from her view and went to the training room where his horned-hooman was training.

It only took several minutes for Nian to pester the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan enough to quit his training and go to see his fianceé Kirihara. Only after Yakou found out that Kirihara was waiting here for him he remembered that he had a meeting with her that he missed.

Once again...

***

MC POV

As I was striding through the halls of the mansion, I felt Nian hopping onto my shoulders as his fluffy tentacles grabbed my shoulder to support himself and my head hurt from the upcoming uncomfortable conversation with my fianceé.

"What is it, Nian?"

I asked my Catopus familiar as I scratched him behind his ear as he purred loudly.

"It is Kirihara, munya... she is waiting for you in the living room, munya."

Nodding my head, I ended my training time as I went to meet my fianceé, who was surely pissed at me for missing our appointment.

When it came to the Divine Lineage of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, there were not many of us, and even from the small number, there were even fewer who were of similar age to me.

"Do you know your mistakes?"

She asked me the very second I entered the living room, though it was typical of hers because she never danced around the topic and always went to the matter. Not wasting any time on the nonsense.

"Yes."

For several decades we have known each other; I knew exactly how to deal with her.

Fortunately enough, she, like many other power-hungry Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, she was very well aware of the importance of strength and understanding of my need to train as hard as possible.

"How was your progress?"

She asked me as I frowned a bit...

Due to the peculiarities of my bloodline, I inherited one of the purest and strongest Divine Bloodlines among the entire Clan in the past tens of thousands of years.

This made my progress with my Dōjutsus, especially the Tensei-Sharingan and, more importantly, Senrinjōnegan, extremely slow even when countless Shadow Clones have been practicing it every day for the past decades and centuries.

Yet, while the progress was extremely slow, the power of my Dōjutsus was unusually powerful even among the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

"Slow as usual, but I have obtained a very good grasp on the Seven Path Techniques... I am right now preparing to obtain perfect control over the God Tree Control Technique for the future."

I said as she hummed something in satisfaction when it came to controlling over the Dōjutsus, she was far ahead of me, but Kirihara was more than seven hundred years old; she was older than me by more than five centuries already.

"And Mangekyou?"

Instantly I grimaced because if there was one thing where I was literarily stuck, it was a further evolution of the Tensei-Sharingan to the Tensei-Magenkyou Sharingan or obtaining the Eternity Version of it.

It was something that was plaguing me for several decades already, but I also understood the fact that not everything could be rushed. Naturally, I refused to take a shortcut by eating some powerful Chakra Fruits for this purpose.

"I am close, very close, but it appears I would need to undergo extreme emotional stimuli to awaken the Mangekyo. Using the Chakra Fruits to awaken the Mangekyo and Eternal one would cut the further progress with my Dōjutsu."

I answered as I sat down next to her while we were talking.

"On another note, where do you want to go for our date?"

I asked as I was not in the mood for further talk about my progress with the Dōjutsus and so on, and probably some relaxation would not be a bad idea.

"I heard that the Planet Aquamarine was finally pacified and is now open for visits... they have the best seafood in the entire Ōtsutsuki Cosmic Region across thousands of Galaxies we control."

Planet Aquamarine was a previously unknown Planet that was found by the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the outskirts territories of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, very close to the Central Cosmic Region.

It was 100% Aquatic world covered by oceans and was home to some really terrifying sea lifeforms.

The strongest recorded reached Tier 4 standard and one of the Grand Elders of the Clan found that there were even far strongest in the depths of the Planet. Because it was Super High Planet, it was enormously huge and thus was home to the most powerful native lifeforms.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan pacified some of them and established several floating cities in there, but what was peculiar was that there were some floating cities belonging to the Evernight High Council.

Among the Starveil Origin World's hegemonial species that each controlled Cosmic Sector, only the Evernight High Council had some sort of alliance with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, mainly due to some history between their founders and Lord Shibai.

Evernight High Council was a coalition of three species of Kindreds, Arachnids and Werewolves.

Not to mention, they were always fighting against the Sage Clan and not allowing them to attack the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the Sage Clan was an extremely powerful faction in the Starveil Origin World.

"Maybe we will hear some interesting rumors from the Northern Cosmic Sector; I heard that the fights between the Sage Clan and Evernight High Council are more intense compared to the past Era."

Sage Clan was a racial clan of Sages from the unique Super High-Level Planet Xia and they were the closest thing to the Cultivators in the Starveil Origin World and they were extremely powerful.

"Are we going with the spaceship or through teleportation?"

I asked, but I knew that Kirihara would want to go with the spaceship so that we could sightsee the space.

While the technological level of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was not that high, we had plenty of spaceships and other things because we bordered the Automatons.

For traveling purposes, it was enough, but most of them were technically useless in direct fight because they lacked the firepower compared to the high-end powerhouses of the supreme civilizations.

Chapter 16 – Planet Aquamarine
Southern Cosmic Region, Shattered Star Ring Segment, Garton Galaxy, Colton Star Cluster, 98th Star System

Outer space is an endless expanse of darkness that stretches out in all directions. It is filled with countless stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, all of which are suspended in the void by the force of gravity. The stars and planets are surrounded by clouds of gas and dust, which form beautiful and intricate patterns that can be seen from the planets.

The temperature of outer space is extremely cold, with temperatures hovering just above absolute zero. There is no atmosphere in outer space, which means that there is no air to breathe or to transmit sound.

This makes space an incredibly quiet place where even the slightest sound is muted.

When it came to traveling through Outer Space, only Tier 3 Ōtsutsuki Clansmen could travel the Outer Space with their bodies without any protection for an indefinite time. Though at Tier 2, one could spend a few months in Outer Space before one would need to replenish the energy and the space would take its toll.

Despite the lack of air and extreme temperatures, there is still a lot of activity in outer space. The gravity of the celestial bodies in space can cause asteroids and other debris to collide, which can create dazzling displays of light and sound.

There are also powerful bursts of energy that can emanate from stars, which can have a profound impact on the surrounding space.

"No matter how many times I see this, the vastness of space is always so beautiful and mysterious."

I heard Kirihara say as we observed the cosmic storm from the safety of our ship. The spaceship we were using was one of a few Captial Ships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that was entirely built by the Ōtsutsuki Clan based on Automaton Technology.

It was shaped like a pyramid and had the firepower to kill peak Tier 3 entity with a single shot instantly and even Tier 4s would need to be careful. Unfortunately, there were only a few of these ships and all of them were used only by the highest-ranking members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

This one which we were using belonged to my parents, so I could borrow it when I needed it if it was parked around Planet Tengoku.

"We would be landing on the planet Aquamarine."

I said as I looked at the azure planet from the commanding deck on the top of a pyramid-like ship.

When viewed from space, the planet is a blue-green orb with swirling white clouds and a glistening ocean covering 100% of its surface. The planet has no visible landmasses, but there are scattered floating cities and floating islands around the planet where people live.

The ocean is a deep, dark blue, with the occasional turquoise shallows near the islands. The water is crystal clear and teeming with life, from the tiniest plankton to the largest sea lifeforms that were tens of kilometers in size.

The water is constantly moving, with strong currents and tides that shape the planet's geography and support a variety of ecosystems.

At the surface, the sun's light creates a shimmering, glittering effect that is breathtaking to behold. The sunlight penetrates the water, creating an underwater world of color and beauty.

There are towering kelp forests that stretch toward the surface, providing a haven for countless fish and invertebrates. Coral reefs form underwater cities, with thousands of species of colorful fish darting among the branches.

[Descending to the Stardragon Floating City in ten minutes.]

The ship's central artificial intelligence sounded as the pyramid-like ship started descending down to the orbit of planet Aquamarine. When I looked over at the Floating City, I took notice that most of the inhabitants were not from the Ōtsutsuki Clan but rather from the Evernight High Council.

There were many Vampires, Werewolves and Arachid Demons walking around.

[The ship has been docked.]

***

3rd POV

When the ship docked at the Stardragon Floating City, it attracted the attention of almost all the people in the dockyards because anyone could recognize one of the Capital Ships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Not to mention, there was even City Lord of the Stardragon City waiting in front of the dockyard waiting for the people in the spaceship. The City Lord of the Stardragon Floating City was a member of the Main Clan who reached Saint Realm but couldn't advance further.

Thus he was transferred to the administrative department and was made the City Lord of one of the Floating Cities on the planet Aquamarine.

The City Lord of the Stardragon Floating City, Ōtsutsuki Leiran, was looking anxiously at the Capital Ship, which belonged to the Juggernaut Category; there were only three of such ships in the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan.

One of them was in the hands of the Head of the Enforcement Hall; another was for the Patriarch and the last one was in the hands of the Grand Elder, Ōtsutsuki Muzan...

Ōtsutsuki Leiran was the only member of the Main Clan with no good talent and was stuck at the Saint Realm for several thousands of years, so in front of these people, he was small as an ant.

When the ship opened and he saw the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and Princess Kirihara, he was at the same time relieved and at the same time more nervous that two members of Royalty and Divine Lineage arrived at his turf.

"I humbly welcome you to my small city, Your Highness."

The City Lord quickly hurried with his entourage, which was considering of his wife and children, to greet the newcomers.

His family and servants quickly followed suit and bowed to them because the Divine Lineage members were far above them in terms of the Clan's hierarchy.

'Only Tier 2, but his Chakra is so powerful... and his eyes...'

"City Lord."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou nodded at him as the City Lord made way for the two Divine Lineage members who arrived at his city.

"May I respectfully ask why Your Highnesses arrived at the Stardragon City?"

He asked nervously as Ōtsutsuki Yakou looked at him and the City Lord, despite his far greater strength, could feel his blood boiling in submission as the Crown Prince's three eyes shined brightly.

"This is not an official visit... just for relaxation. I heard from my finaceé that this place is famous for seafood, so we came for dinner."

Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou answered as the City Lord sighed in relief and motioned the Divine Lineage members to follow after him.

"Of course, of course, Your Highnesses."

While Yakou essentially ignored the City Lord because, for him, it was only another bootlicker that wanted to get into his good graces to get his hands on better resources and materials, to break through the Holy Lord Realm and become one of the Tier 4 entities.

Meanwhile, Kirihara was rather enjoying the worms squirming. She always took some kind of enjoyment when those of lower stature were pissing themselves off with fear when they saw her, but Yakou found it useless.

For him, it was an utter waste of time.

Chapter 17 – Stardragon Floating City
After they parted with the City Lord of the Stardragon Floating City, Ōtsutsuki Leiran, Yakou and Kirihara went to some of the most renowned restaurants in the city.

The Stardragon Floating City was bustling with population; countless Ōtsutsuki Clansmen and many races from the Evernight High Council were living there.

Aside from them, there were many vassal species of the Ōtsutsuki Clan living in the Stardragon Floating City or visitors that were from very powerful species from different parts of the Starveil Origin World.

"Where do you want to go?"

Yakou asked tiredly after some time because his fianceé couldn't choose one place to have their dinner; thus they were walking around the center of the city and checking out every place and restaurant on her list.

"I don't know... all the places look good, but I want to go only to the best."

Kirihara stated as she looked at him sternly; Yakou knew that this was her perfectionism taking place.

"Let's go to the Starmoon Restaurant, I like that place and it is closest to our location."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou stated that he was already tired from walking around for nothing and after Kirihara saw his expression that his patience had reached the limit, she nodded and they headed for the Starmoon Restaurant.

It was the best one in the Stardragon Floating City and rated as one of the best on the Planet Aquamarine. The exterior of the Starmoon Restaurant was in the shape of several floor-tall pagoda and was owned by someone from the Demon Species.

"Bring us to the top floor of the restaurant, VIP table."

Yakou ordered the hostess, who was from the Ōtsutsuki Branch Clan, who were typically working in these establishments. Because the Branch Clansmen had low status within the Clan, most of the menial tasks fell on them.

Especially if they wanted to obtain some resources, they needed to buy themselves at extraordinary prices from the Clan. Compared to the Main Clan, the Branch Clan was far more populous and there were tens of thousands of them.

When they were seated at the VIP table, the servants immediately started putting the food on the table, as two Ōtsutsuki Divine Lineage members were observing the Stardragon Floating City from the top floor of the pagoda restaurant.

Because the pagoda building was relatively high, it provided a beautiful view of the Stardragon Floating City.

"Do you have any plans for the near future?"

As they were eating, Kirihara asked him after she took a bit of the fish the servants brought to them.

Yakou nodded because he planned to participate in some battles on the frontline and take some missions to gather Contribution Points.

"I would be heading to the battlefield with the Automatons. I want to test my combat prowess and gather some Contribution."

Within the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even he needed the Contribution Points to exchange for some more precious resources and treasures from the Clan. Naturally, as Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki Clansmen and grandson of the Patriarch, he had access to the best resources for free.

But even that had its limits and typically lasted until Tier 2; from then on, he would need the Contribution Points to obtain cultivation resources and other treasures he wanted.

Obviously, for Yakou completing some missions and gathering Contribution Points was nothing with his current strength. The Ōtsutsuki Clan was a place of striving and competition between the Clansmen for supremacy and status.

Only the best survived and became the peerless experts that swept through entire galaxies and decided the fate of millions of worlds.

"Automatons?..."

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara hummed because she never went to the front where the Clan clashed against the Automatons.

Aside from the front against the Faith God Alliance, only the Automatons shared the border with the Celestial Ōtsutsuki Clan and Yakou didn't wish to go there with his meager strength.

Regarding the number of high-end experts, the Automatons were clearly far behind the Faith God Alliance as they mainly depended on their overwhelming technological superiority to push the Ōtsutsuki Clan back.

"I will head to the newly found Galactic Segments in the unknown space. Right now, most parts are devoid of high-end Automaton experts, so it should be relatively safe within limits."

Because the Universe was ever expanding and ever-growing, every few tens of thousands of years, the new Galactic Segments were created and contained tens of galaxies, sometimes or sometimes even only a few.

These areas were also termed Unknown Space because it was under no one's control and thus when they appeared, a brutal fight erupted for every single galaxy as it represented resources.

Especially for the Automatons, it was a priceless treasure trove because it contained countless minerals and metals that they desperately needed to produce their overwhelming machine armies.

"When do you plan to depart?"

Kirihara questioned him because, in fact, she planned to join Yakou on the trip and travel together. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, there was Rule of Two, that the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen always traveled in pairs.

This Rule of Two officially stemmed from the strategy of planting the God Trees, but after some millenias, the Ōtsutsuki Clan spread this Rule to the entire Clan because when it came to the God Tree Planting, it heightened the success rate.

This was not aimed at the sacrificial part, but rather, when they encountered some resistance from native civilization, it was proved that two Clansmen were able to fight the threat way better when only one of them was sent to pacify the native civilization.

"In a few years... I need to master some techniques to obtain even higher combat prowess."

Right now, Yakou was progressing very well with his Kenjutsu and soon he would obtain a certain level of mastery over the way of sword, which would increase his combat prowess tremendously.

Coupled with his Shinjutsus, he was confident to face the endless hordes of machines belonging to the Automatons.

"Then I will join you on the mission. My dad is nagging me to take up some missions to hone my martial arts further."

Kirihara's father was Head of the Martial Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and was the most talented person in martial arts for the past several eras. Naturally, Kirihara inherited a lot of her father's talent in martial arts and thus was always pressured by him to continue in his legacy.

"With our power, there would be not many powerful Automatons who could threaten us."

Automatons were a peculiar civilization within the Starveil Origin World because they were not that powerful individually.

Their destructive capabilities were relatively low and they depended on their numerical superiority and devastating weapons to fight.

Usually, they would incapacitate their opponents with their numbers and traps before they would finish them with some kind of weapon. Still, the Automatons had some really powerful experts among their ranks, but their offensive prowess was lacking.

Chapter 18 - Evernight High Council
As they were eating comfortably and enjoying their time together, something that Yakou found on rare occasions, as he spent most if not all of his time training and practicing.

Pursuing his aim to get stronger and become the strongest under the heavens, he noticed a familiar aura entering the floor of the restaurant.

"We have a company..."

Suddenly Yakou muttered as Kirihara raised her brow, looking at him questioningly.

The moment he stated that two people entered the VIP Logue as one of them directly rushed to Yakou.

He was a tall, muscular, fair-skinned body that was covered with large battle scars with a long grey hair and with greyish eyes. He was wearing light brown pants and a red blazer with white fur lining.

"Muzaka."

Among the three major races that were leading the Evernight High Council, Blood Races, Werewolves and Arachnids, Muzaka Kallikratos was the son of the Werewolf Lord, an ancient being from primordial times.

It was said that the entire Werewolf Tribe were descendants of the Fenrir, a frightening Tier 7 Transcendental Being on the same level as Lord Shibai, if not stronger. Nobody knew what part of the truth was in this, but one was certain that the Werewolf Tribe was very powerful.

"You have finally left the Planet Tengoku Yakou? I thought that you would rot there cultivating like some boring old man."

Muzaka laughed loudly as he slapped Yakou on his back and while both of them were essentially Tier 2, Werewolves were born with tremendously ridiculous physical strength, especially those of Royal Blood that descended from the Fenrir.

"At least I am not causing chaos with my every step."

Yakou first met Muzaka Kallikratos one hundred years ago, during the official visit of the representatives of the Evernight High Council of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

During that time, Muzaka was already three hundred years old and was already considered the elite High-Level Warrior of the Werewolf Tribe.

Naturally, they fought because Muzaka challenged him to fight, and surprisingly or not, he lost to the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan because Yakou exploited his weaknesses during the fight spectacularly, especially the fact that Muzaka was rather prone to going berserk.

Still, the two of them became friends after the spar and they met every decade to have their annual spar.

"Lord Muzaka, please keep the decorum on the public."

The second person who came with Muzaka stated, as the Heir of the Werewolf Tribe, frowned slightly.

"What are you, my mother Juraki?"

Juraki was a werewolf with blue eyes and hair. He has a tall and muscular frame while dressing in a long white tunic. His accessories comprise of gold earrings and clips that fasten his bandanna.

"I am sent to keep an eye on you, Lord Muzaka, by your mother; that is the difference."

Yakou knew Juraki was someone from the most prestigious lines among the Werewolf Tribe and was also High-Level Warrior, which was comparable to Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki, who ate Chakra Fruit and awakened his bloodline.

The Werewolf Heir frowned at that but didn't say anything to retort to the attendant that was sent to follow him with the main aim of preventing him from causing him trouble.

"I see that your mother didn't forget about the fiasco within the Dragon Clan."

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki remarked from the side as Werewolf blanched hearing that statement because the situation with the Dragon Clan caused the Evernight High Council to pay tremendous reparation to the Dragon Clan.

Normally the Dragons were reclusive creatures that lived in their own Origin World in a similar fashion to the Catopuses and Cathulhu. Yet they often traded with some factions from the outside, especially with the Ōtsutsuki Clan and Evernight High Council.

For the Evernight High Council, the Dragon Clan was trading the Dragon Blood for an extraordinary amount of treasures because, for the Blood Races, the blood of the dragon was a priceless treasure that could advance their strength by leaps and bounds.

"Shut up, pale eyes... I have told you several times it was not my fault; if that overgrown lizard didn't send me flying to that building, then nothing would happen."

Yakou just scoffed at his excuse because it was what it was... just a poor excuse.

"You should really work on your alibism better, Muzaka... Who even got the idea of fighting in the vicinity of the transport array."

Several years ago, Muzaka, like the battle maniac he was, got into a scuffle with one of the Dragon Princes and during their fight, Muzaka was shot by a humongous dragon directly to the teleportation array, which was connecting the Starveil Origin World and Dragon Nest.

Naturally, the Evernight High Council, respectively, the Werewolf Tribe, needed to pay for everything and that price was... extraordinary as well.

To the point where the Patriarch of the Tribe was enraged beyond belief at his son for causing such an incident.

"Ts... whatever..."

After exchanging some more pleasantries, they started eating while Werewolf Juraki was standing behind Muzaka and observing his Lord not to create any trouble. Due to his reputation as a troublemaker of the Evernight High Council, which was naturally very well deserved, one could never be sure.

"So what is the Crown Prince of pale eyes scheming today?"

Muzaka asked his friend, who had an unsavory reputation as a schemer among the higher-ups of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and Evernight High Council.

"Departing to the frontline with the Automatons in the Unknown Regions."

Hearing that, the Heir of the Werewolf Tribe raised his brow at that before he came to a decision.

"Then I am going with you."

There was no one more surprised hearing that than his attendant Juraki, but he quickly regained his composure. Going to the Unknown Regions, where the Automatons and Ōtsutsukis fought against each other, was relatively safe because there were not many high-end powerhouses.

"Do what you wish, but for the time being, try to control your instincts to fight everything that moves. We don't want to attract the attention of one of their main intelligences."

Automatons were a rather peculiar civilization that had many secrets and there was the reason why they were not yet conquered or wiped out by their stronger neighbors.

From what Yakou heard from his Elders was that the Automatons were supported by some peerless experts on the peak Tier 6.

Coupled with the other advantages that they had and creative strategies, they were able to resist the Ōtsutsuki Clan or Evernight High Council for a long time. Naturally, for Automatons to win any fight again, they required tremendous manpower and sacrifices.

"I know, I know... my old man already warned me about the dangers behind the Automatons."

As long as the Automatons were not pushed beyond a certain line, their backers won't make a move and would ignore it.

Chapter 19 – Before Departure
After all of them had their lunch, Muzaka Kallikratros decided to part ways with them before they agreed to meet when Yakou and Kirihara would be going to the Outer Regions to fight against Automatons.

Kirihara and Yakou remained in the restaurant as they continued their dinner date, while Kirihara was actually glad that the loud and annoying Werewolf had finally left them alone.

"Your friend is an unscrupulous barbaric caveman."

When Muzaka left, Kirihara immediately voiced her displeasure about the company that her fianceé was keeping and at a certain part, Yakou was forced to agree with her.

Despite his social status, Muzaka Kallikratos was far away from the definition of being noble and so...

Yet, on the other hand, he was loyal, wasn't a backstabbing, scheming person, and was pretty much straightforward.

When he didn't like someone, he would just smash their head and voice his opinion.

"Maybe... but his qualities as a person with character are far outweighing his behavior. Contrary to most from the Evernight High Council and even Ōtsutsuki Clan, he is not scheming and could be trusted. "

Even Kirihara was rather agreeable to this because she dealt a few times with people from the Evernight High Council and especially the bats, as they called them, were a bunch of scheming and untrustworthy bastards.

"So, how do you like the food?"

Yakou asked rather awkwardly because when it came to Kirihara and he was alone with her, not training or anything, he didn't really know how to behave.

"I can sense your anxiousness miles away... despite that you are a genius in fighting and mastering Kenjutsu and racial abilities, when it comes to social relationships, you suck."

Kirihara stated with a giggle, but at the same time, Yakou sighed in relief that she didn't think too much of it.

"I know that we are to get married and have children to secure the next generation of the Divine Lineage, but we can take it slowly for both of us. We don't need to rush anything."

Maybe it was because Kirihara was older than he or maybe because she was more emphatic than he was; she was pretty much understanding and could see that her financeé didn't really know anything about romantic relationships.

Because their marriage was arranged by the Clan, there was nothing they could do about it and they could only live with it.

***

Several months later, Planet Tengoku

As usual, Yakou was training as hard as possible, but he felt that he was stuck at a certain level and couldn't advance further, no matter what he did. It was apparent that he needed some battle stimulus to get a breakthrough in his abilities.

"It seems that departing to the frontlines to fight would come sooner than I have initially anticipated."

Yakou muttered as he stopped training and canceled all Shadow Clones that he conjured as he received all of their memories and training.

Unfortunately, all of them brought him very little, which was a sign that he needed to switch the training method.

He exited the special cultivation room within their mansion as he sent a notification to Kirihara and Muzaka Kallikratos that he was changing their date of departing to the frontline with the Automatons.

It was sooner by an entire one year and some months, but fortunately, Muzaka Kallikratos was still within the Southern Cosmic Area and Kirihara was right now on the planet Tengoku, so it would take only a short time before both of them arrive.

Both of his Catopuses woke up when they sensed their master exiting the training room as they rushed to him, acting cute in an attempt to gain some food from their master.

They were pretty cunning because they were aware that their master had a soft spot for casts, so by acting extremely cute, they could extort some treats and food from their master; naturally, this strategy worked most of the time.

"What is it, darling? You have ended your training ahead of time?"

His mother, Ōtsutsuki Akiri, asked him because she was right now at home, too endorsed at Evolutionary Cultivation, as she was already peak Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki and was only one step from becoming a Holy Lord.

She had a harder time reaching the higher realms because she was not much of a fighter and due to her, one could say, hyper-active personality, she couldn't cultivate for a prolonged period of time.

This proved problematic in the later stages because Ōtsutsukis, who practiced Evolutionary Cultivation, focused on comprehending the Dao, the meaning of all things in the Chaotic Source Dimension.

"I have reached the bottleneck in my training and I couldn't advance with training my Dōjutsu Tensei-Sharingan any further. It seems that evolution is impossible without extreme emotional stimulus seems impossible."

His mother agreed with that because even for her, it took more than a few thousand years to achieve the Tensei-Mangekyou Sharingan, not to mention, to this day, his mother didn't master the Senrinjōnegan entirely.

"Are you heading to the Unknown Regions between the Southern Cosmic Area and Eastern Cosmic Area?"

He nodded at his question as his mother sighed in relief a bit because that place was relatively safe without any high-end powerhouses.

"Be careful about Automatons... while the Automatons are relatively weak individually, their strength lay in their overwhelming numbers. They don't control the entire Cosmic Region for nothing; unfortunately, the leeches that are supporting them from shadows are very good from hiding; else we would have long ago annihilated them."

As dutiful and concerned mother Ōtsutsuki Akiri was, she warned her son of the danger behind the Automatons. She herself has fought against the scraps of metal several times in her life and they were a pain in the ass to deal with.

Especially if they brought out some of their most destructive weapons, even the Elders of the Ōtsutsuki Clan needed to be maximally cautious when dealing with the Automatons.

"If that is so, why didn't the Ancestors act or ask the Lord Shibai?"

Because Yakou was the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he was aware of the Clan's deepest secret: that Lord Shibai was still within the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He was only slumbering and protected the Clan from the shadows.

"Because in the long run, the Automatons aren't a threat high enough for even Ancestors to act, not to mention Lord Shibai. In the Starveil Origin World, there are, in fact, more Tier 7 individuals on the same level as Lord Shibai and from what the Ancestors said, according to the covenant between them, they are forbidden to act against the lower creatures."

Yakou could vaguely understand what was happening behind the curtain.

While the Aumatons were powerful, they were not powerful enough to endanger the Ōtsutsuki Clan and at the same time, they served as good opponents for the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Life and Death battles were needed for them to break through to the higher realms and achieve higher mastery over their abilities. In this regard, the Automatons were useful; if not for that, they would have been long ago, wiped out by Ancestors.

If the Ōtsutsuki Clan really wanted to wipe them out, it was highly possible that even the backers of the Automatons, who were confirmed to be on the same level of raw power as the Ancestors, wouldn't want to protect their pawns.

Chapter 20 - Planet Deria
"Mother, should we go there by ship or teleportation array?"

Yakou asked because he was still deciding if he should borrow the ship from the Clan to depart for the Unknown Regions or to go by teleportation array.

Both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages respectively.

While going with the teleportation array was technically speaking safer and was many times faster than flying there by ship, if they took a ship, they would have another asset in their arsenal in case they encountered the powerful enemy.

"Take one of the warships..."

The warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were different from the Automaton Capital Ship that Yakou used the last time.

Even that Automaton Capital Ship was different from other Automaton Ships because it was personally retrofitted and refined by powerful Ōtsutsukis to become some sort of living artifact.

The Warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were powerful sentient spaceships that were developed after assimilating the knowledge of the cultivation Origin World that the Ōtsutsuki Clan conquered...

Right now, the cultivation Origin World was just a lifeless husk that would sooner or later merge into the Starveil Origin World, which would give birth to a new Cosmic Star Region that would be the spark of another huge war across the entire Starveil Origin World.

"I also think the warship would be the best option."

Unfortunately, Yakou didn't have a personal warship because they were precious and usually only Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsuki, proficient in the Refining Artifacts and Mechanical Engineering, would be able to create one of them.

"I will talk with your father so you can get a personal warship right now; there should still be some left in the shipyards of Olympus Mons."

Hearing that, his eyes lit up in anticipation because getting a personal warship was not an easy task in the huge Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The Clan was always extremely strict when it came to resources and typically, only Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsukis would get their personal warship automatically when they reached the Realm.

Some could get their hands on it when they were at the Saint Realm but had combat prowess comparable to the average Tier 4 being. This was because the price of each warship required a lot of resources, so they couldn't afford to give them to everyone.

In case the warship was lost to their enemy, it would be counted as a high loss.

"Thank you, mom."

Yakou thanked his mother as he found himself receiving her bear hug as she gushed over her son.

Somewhere in the Starveil Origin World, Unknown Regions of Space.

A humongous pitch-black warship exited the warp drive and arrived at the Unknown Regions of Space that appeared due to the expansion of the Starveil Origin World between the Southern Cosmic Region and Eastern Cosmic Region.

The ship was enormous, more than twenty kilometers long, armed with countless types of chakra weaponry and the best defensive capabilities the Ōtsutsuki Clan could muster.

These ships were used as weapons of war for the Ōtsutsuki Clan when they waged war on their opponents.

Because the entire warship was largely automatic due to its being one huge artifact, there was almost no crew on the ship and it was all controlled by the artifact spirit.

"We have arrived at the Planet Deria, one of the frontier Planets which is currently under siege by the Automatons. When the planet was first discovered, it was categorized as Super High-Level Planet; thus the Automatons sent a loot of Automatons of various Grades, the strongest recorded is on C-Grade."

Automatons were divided into grades based on metal alloy and materials from which their bodies were constructed.

Typically speaking, F-Grade and E-Grade Alloys could withstand the might of Tier 1 Ōtsutsuki, while D-Grade and C-Grade Alloys could withstand the might of Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki clansmen.

"Planet Deria is strategically located to one of the wormholes, allowing quick access to both Southern Cosmic Region and Eastern Cosmic Region, but because it doesn't hold anything beyond the location, the Automatons didn't send anyone particularly powerful to capture the planet."

Yakou heard Kirihara summarize the situation, as their mission from the Administration Hall was simple.

Capture the planet from the Automatons and construct a teleportation array, the planet the God Tree, and erect the Pylon.

As simple as it could get.

Yakou was wearing plated armor reminiscent of Earth's samurai armor, while Kirihara was wearing armor of a similar design.

Only Muzaka and Juraki were not wearing any kind of protection, but that was because it would only be hindering both of them.

"Where do you think would be the best spot to descent and start our advance?"

Kirihara asked, as Yakou was adept at making battle strategies.

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan looked at the holographic projection of the planet Deria as he scanned the landscape of the planet before he pointed at the northernmost landmass.

It was far smaller than the rest of the continents and could be barely regarded as one; because of that, it was termed as sub-continent.

The most peculiar thing about that subcontinent was that, because it was located in the most northern point of the planet, it kind of jammed the signal and the Automatons had problems operating in that area.

Aside from that, the entire subcontinent had very rocky terrain and countless mountain ranges could be used as defensive points. It was the most suitable location to build up their base.

"This one... the priority should be planting the God Tree so we could get an initial foothold. When we successfully planted the God Tree, it would force the Automatons to attack the subcontinent; we won't be leading the offensive but staying on the defensive until we deplete their forces enough to launch a counter-offensive."

Yakou presented his plans and probably the only person who appreciated the strategy was Muzaka's attendant, Juraki.

The strategy was excellent; being on the defensive would give them more leeway and with the support of the God Tree, breaching the defenses of the subcontinent would be extremely hard, primarily if it were controlled by the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki.

"Not to mention, this planet has extremely powerful lifeforce so that we could harvest even High-Grade Chakra Fruit."

Right now, Yakou was classified as 2nd Grade Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki; if he used his most powerful Dust Shinjutsu Techniques, he could bust apart several planets and even seriously damage Super High-Level Planet as Planet Deria to a certain degree.

"Hey Muzaka, do you want to buy High-Grade Chakra Fruit condensed from the Lifeforce of Planet?"

God Tree could absorb myriads of energies to create various variations of the Chakra Fruits and many of them were useful for other beings than the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

For example, the Dragon Chakra Fruits were very popular among the Dragon Clan when they wanted to purify their bloodlines.

"I am not falling for this second time."

The heir of the Werewolf Tribe snorted as he looked at his friend, grinning at him.

Chapter 21 - Observations from Afar
Somewhere outside of the Starveil Origin World

An Origin World was an astronomically massive expanse of Stars, Planets, Dimensions, Worlds and Cosmoses. In other words, it was a multiverse sitting within an even more infinitely vast plane.

There are an undetermined number of origin worlds, but each one is unique and can vary in both their Supreme Laws, Daos, and overall power.

In the cold emptiness void, a majestic Ōtsutsuki was standing and observing the vastness of the space in between the Origin Worlds.

"You are already here, Shibai."

Suddenly a male voice sounded behind him as Lord Shibai, the Primogenitor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, turned around.

"Yuan."

Both of them were Chaotic Origin Lifeforms of the Overlord-Class... the pinnacle of their Chaotic Source Dimension.

"Where is Lou City Lord?"

In their Chaotic Origin Dimension, there were only eight Cultivation Overlords and the strongest of them were... Yuan and Luo

Yuan was the oldest Overlord and was doing his utmost to nurture weak cultivators into Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, especially into new Overlords. Only then did other Overlords choose to follow in his footsteps.

And Luo City Lord was the youngest Overlord who rose from being a weak mortal. When it came to pure offensive capabilities, Luo City Lord was even above Yuan and Shibai; naturally, this was only when it came to offensive capabilities and not any other special abilities one may possess.

"Standing guard at the passage... with each Era, the connection got stronger, right now it should be strong enough to support Void God-ranked Daemons."

Yuan answered with a frown.

"I cannot use my Clairvoyance as effectively... soon enough, the Cosmos God-ranked Daemons will start crossing over, and then Chaotic Origin Lifeforms."

Even Yuan could sense that the station with their Chaotic Source Dimension was getting worse and worse. Perhaps after two Eras, the Chaotic Origin Lifeform-ranked Daemons would be crossing over if everything went according to the tempo.

"You should try focusing on cultivating your Clansmen... Even after some many years, you have not cultivated another Paragon. Your Clan is the perfect embodiment of two main paths of the Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, fusing together Dao and Bloodlines; if more powerhouses were to emerge, then we could resist the oncoming onslaught easier."

Yuan said lightly as Lord Shibai of the Ōtsutsuki Clan pondered over his statement. The Ōtsutsuki Clan was formerly a pure Bloodline Clan that didn't pursue Dao.

Still, after they conquered Dao-oriented cultivation Origin World and incorporated it into their system, they fused the two branches perfectly.

Because of that, even Lord Shibai, who was Overlord-Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform, could fight against two or three Chaotic Origin Lifeforms simultaneously for a prolonged amount of time... this alone spoke volumes about his personal power.

And with the usage of Chakra Fruits, which could absorb Dao and give birth to Dao Fruits, the comprehension of Clansmen in the aspect of Dao was limited only by their talent and sometimes even that could be forcibly broken, allowing them to reach Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

Their own Chaotic Origin Dimension was in poor straits...

There was no definitive ruler of the Chaotic Origin World and the biggest organization that ruled the heavy majority of the Chaotic Origin Dimension was not that unified in front of threats that were coming.

The Eternal Land.

One consisted of Overlords, cultivators who reached the Overlord-Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform by comprehending a higher level of natural laws, which is extremely difficult. They were extremely powerful individually and had deep comprehension and combat capabilities.

Their faction was called just Dao Profound Faction within the Eternal Land.

Another was led by Primogenitors, called Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform Faction, who were weaker, inborn versions of Overlords who achieved this level by unearthing their bloodlines to the extreme.

Even though Overlords can be injured, not one of them has ever been killed, unlike Primogenitors.

And there was also a third faction within the Eternal Land was called Congregation that consisted of a few top-tier Overlords like Lord Shibai, Dragon Primordial, The Great Old One, Fenrir and a few others.

This faction was rather unique because they were experts that focused on the fusion of the Dao Path and Bloodline Path, making them far more terrifying than any other Overlord of the same grade.

Contrary to most of the Primogenitors, members of the Congregation all started from the mortal level, be it Ōtsutsuki Shibai, The Great Old One or Dragon Primordial. In the scheme of all things, the Congregation had the closest ties and alliances with the cultivators and Overlords.

Altogether the Eternal Land had only 33 members and all of them were Overlords. For example, from the Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, only five Primogenitors were recognized, as their bloodlines were unique and they would never die, reaching an undying stage.

And aside from this, their Chaotic Origin Dimension was facing incursion from another Chaotic Origin World and species called Daemons that were born only to destroy everything in their path.

"I should be returning back home... Though, before I go back and focus on the cultivation of the Clan, help me kill some Primogenitors focusing on Dao of Void; they would be especially beneficial to our Clan."

Ōtsutsuki Shibai said as his third eye glowed because if they managed to kill Primogenitors from their corpses, he would be able to help a few of his Clansmen that were stuck at the peak of Empyrean Realm to ascend to Paragon Realm.

And at Paragon Realm, one was already geniue Chaotic Origin Lifeform and, in the future, would be a crucial asset in dealing against the Daemonic Incursion and the pesky Primogenitors that were hindering them.

"I will call a few others... maybe we can ambush some rogue elements that are acting unruly within our territory."

Yuan stated casually as he contacted a few Cultivator Overlords from his faction. Within the Eternal Land, the Cultivators had 8 Thrones from 33 and Congregation had another 5, making it 12 altogether.

They were the biggest alliance in the Eternal Land.

'If the Ōtsutsukis make the order within their Origin World, they could focus more on cultivation and comprehension of Dao... right now, aside from those three, nobody from their Clan has reached the necessary level and their attainment of Dao is relatively low.'

Yuan knew that the biggest advantage of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was that they were devourers of civilizations. They would conquer some civilizations and assimilate their advantages and strong sides into themselves.

This was how they moved from the ordinary Bloodline Path to a mixture of the Dao Path and Bloodline Path. They would use their frightening comprehension abilities to comprehend Dao and their Evolutionary abilities to unleash the potential of their Bloodline.

Even the three Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, all of whom reached World-rank Chaotic Origin Lifeform, could fight and kill several of their same level at the same time due to this aspect.

"Destruction Jin will be joining us shortly and ironically enough, we spotted Heavenly Python Primogenitor roaming the Chaotic Source Dimension; that old snake is probably attempting once again to devour our Origin Worlds."

In the past, there were no Cultivator Overlords and the various types of lifeforms could act unhindered across the Chaotic Origin Dimension, especially the Innate Lifeforms who could devour Origin Worlds as they wished.

With the emergence of the Cultivator Overlords, the times have changed.

Devour Origin Worlds was something that even the Chaotic Origin Lifeform-ranked Ōtsutsukis didn't dare to do for a simple reason...

It would be more detrimental for them because it would contain all Laws and Dao of that Origin World, which would taint their Dao Path. Probably only those who focused on special Dao, like Dao of Devouring, could attempt to do so and not get killed by eating such Chakra Fruit.

Though finding a suitable Origin World for such a thing would be a hassle...

Chapter 22 – First Clash
On the planet Deria, an unnamed subcontinent in the planet's northern hemisphere, the warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan landed from space.

This obviously didn't escape the attention of Automatons, but they didn't have enough firepower to shoot down the behemoth of the ship from the skies.

In a moment when the ship landed down, hundreds of Puppets started swarming out from the warship and heading towards the outskirts of the subcontinent to erect the fortifications against the Automatons.

Most of these Puppets had very low combat prowess; they were not comparable to even the weakest of weakest F-Grade Automaton, though they were still considered pretty powerful among the mortals.

Still, their sole purpose was the construction of buildings and other things that the Ōtsutsuki Clan needed.

Naturally, the Ōtsutsuki Clan had some powerful Puppets that were refined by them, but those were placed on the important locations within the territory of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Build the Arrays as soon as possible. For now, we need to planet the God Tree on the planet."

Yakou, Kirihara and two werewolves acted fast and the moment they exited the ship, they headed toward the center of the subcontinent to plant the God Tree. The moment the God Tree was planted and grew, they would have secured a stable foothold on the planet Deria.

The standard process of planting the God Tree was using the juvenile Ten-Tails, which was right now sleeping on Yakou's shoulders.

The Ten-Tails would produce the God Tree Seed and depending on the conditions and environment, the God Tree would grow and blossom.

With the innate control over the God Tree that every member of the Main Family of the Ōtsutsuki Clan had, they would obtain some sort of pseudo-domain.

For the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis, they could exert even more powerful control over the God Tree and bring out even more power from the fabled treasure of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

After flying for several hundreds of kilometers, they finally found a place that contained a Dragon Vein, which was essentially Nature Energy Leyline that were spreading through the entire Planet.

"Come on."

Yakou woke up the Ten-Tails, which opened its eye and jumped down from his shoulders, quickly running towards the Dragon Vein that was located several hundred meters away from them.

When the Ten-Tails arrived at the location, in a split of second, it enlarged itself several tens of times, reaching staggering heights of more than fifty meters and used its enormous tails to dig a hole in the ground, penetrating deep into the crust of the planet.

It swiftly located the Leyline and using its tails, it penetrated the Leylines and created a cocoon around itself and the Nature Energy Leyline.

"It entered the germination period pretty fast."

Kirihara commented as Yakou nodded and brought up several things from his Dimensional Space. It were several crystals that were filled with Nature Energy as he threw them to the germinating God Tree, together with corpses of a few Tier 1 and Tier 2 beings.

His fianceé followed suit and even Muzaka and Juraki did the same thing, as they had corpses of a few enemies they killed and used them as fertilizer for the God Tree.

"Now we need to wait... if my predictions are correct, the God Tree would be fully grown within five years. For now, we need to focus on defending this place and the entirety of the subcontinent."

Yakou nodded as Kirihara brought out her Shakujō, which was a ringed staff and several times tapped on earth, instantly creating some kind of stealth array to hide the presence of the germinating God Tree.

"With this, it would take a few good years for the Automatons to find the God Tree..."

There was still a possibility that the Automatons won't find out about the existence of the God Tree, but that was not possible because it was the standard strategy of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

To plant the God Tree to gain a foothold.

Because the Automatons were all connected with each other through their network, they could instantly exchange information.

There was a low chance of them not knowing the typical strategy of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

They hoped that with the array hiding the existence of the God Tree, it would take some time for the Automatons to find the location of the God Tree and concentrate their attacks on that place.

***

Several days later, the Ōtsutsuki Expedition encountered the first wave of the Automatons, reached the shores of the subcontinent, and started scouting the area.

Obviously, the Automatons were aware of the danger of the Ōtsutsuki Clan taking root in this place, so they acted carefully when dealing with the Celestials.

Yakou and Kirihara remained in the close vicinity of the God Tree sapling because they could send anywhere their Shadow Clones in case they needed to repel the enemy. With their clones spread around the island, there was no need for two werewolves to do anything.

For the past few days, the two werewolves spent training their martial arts, or Yakou sparred with the Werewolf Heir.

Compared to the werewolves with their literarily tyrannical fleshy body and knowledge of the martial arts, when it came to direct confrontation, he always lost.

When it came to body cultivation, the ability of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was relatively low because they lacked proper scripture.

Compared to the Celestial Chakra Manual, which was created by Lord Shibai, they didn't have any body technique that would refine and temper their bodies and they could depend only on auxiliary methods.

Still, the spars with Muzaka proved to be helpful because when it came to martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, Muzaka was able to fight several of his Shadow Clones simultaneously.

This was fully exploited by Yakou, who was sending one clone after another after the Werewolf Heir to increase his capabilities in hand-to-hand combat. Even though Yakou was preferably a swordmaster, one never knew when he would need some martial arts in his arsenal.

This time Yakou was sparring against Muzaka with his true body and he was not using any martial arts; instead, he was holding his katana and attacking agast the silver-furred werewolf who was coated in Aura.

Aura was a supernatural phenomenon in which the potent, internal energy that appears comes from the soul and is manifested as a powerful force on the outside of their bodies.

Most auras are dormant or very weak and cannot be perceived by the average person.

Aura manipulation and perception are abilities that can be unlocked through various means, whether strenuous training, technological enhancements, or in the case of some beings like species of the Evernight High Council, naturally...

The true nature of Aura is the fact that it's fundamentally linked to the soul, and thus it could manifest around anything containing a soul, organic or inorganic.

Chapter 23 – Automatons
"We should stop for now... it seems that the Automatons have finally launched their first assault on the subcontinent."

Yakou stated with a wave of his hands as he sensed that some of his clones were dispersed and passed him the information about the Automaton assistant. Unfortunately, the Shadow Clone Technique was imperfect and the Clones were not very durable.

While the Shadow Clones inherited a significant part of his strength, they would typically be dispersed after being hit by a few powerful attacks that equaled his own strength.

Seeing that the one Clone that dispersed was dispersed through destruction, Yakou concluded that the Automatons must have sent here at least several C-Grade Automatons.

"And there are several C-Grade Automatons between them, as it seems so that we will have a certain level of fun..."

Yakou muttered as everyone readied their weapons; as he projected the map of the subcontinent, showing the advance of the Automatons from all sides.

Each front should have at least something between 3 to 5 C-Grade Automatons to be sure that they annihilated the Ōtsutsukis that took root on their planet.

"Dispose of them as soon as possible... we don't know what kind of weaponry they have bought with them."

Yakou ordered as everyone nodded because Automatons were always unknown...

Even though they were all Machine Intelligences of the highest grade, they were pretty cunning and could use some very advanced war strategies when they were fighting and waging war.

Everyone nodded in agreement and they then dispersed and went to stop the Automatons from attacking the God Tree sapling. Naturally, the biggest trump card was the Warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that was protecting the God Tree sapling.

Yakou appeared in a split of a second on the southern parts of the subcontinent as that was the closest area of the continent of the planet Deria.

Here the concentration of the Automatons was the highest, and there were five C-Grade Automatons together with tens of thousands, more than fifty thousand Automatons.

This was totally staggering number and would frighten anyone because even the weakest of the Automatons was F-Grade, compared to 1st-Grade Tier 1.

'Their production capabilities are absolutely frightening... they have been on this planet only for a short period of time, they managed to produce hundreds of thousands of Autmoatns already and each one of them could kill even powerful mortals like top Kage Shinobis of Elemental Nations...'

Automatons were really dangerous considering their production capabilities and when it came to the stronger, Automatons could go toe to toe with high-end powerhouses of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

And this was the reason why the Ōtsutsuki Clan wanted to conquer them and obtain their source code... it would propel the might of the Ōtsutsuki Clan to staggering heights when their industrial potential would be incorporated into the might of Ōtsutsuki Clan.

'Time to get rid of the small fries...'

Yakou thought as several cubes of Dust Release Shinjutsu appeared around him, floating around his being as they shot several Dust Beams toward the army of Automatons in a split of a second.

Most of the Automatons didn't have time to react to this time; only those Automatons of D-Grade and C-Grade were able to react and save themselves. But that was respectable because these Automatons were comparable to Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis, at least in terms of their fleshy body.

Or if they had installed Energy Cores, then even in terms of energy.

In several moments, an enormous incoming army of the Automatons was turned to dust, as Yakou frowned a bit at this because the bodies of the Automatons were made from precious alloys that could have been put to a different use.

Contrary to being just obliterated to nothingness...

Unfortunately, Yakou didn't have any other method with such a powerful AOE attack that would have some efficiency as the Dust Release Shinjutsu.

Seeing that five of the C-Grade Automatons quickly readied themselves for the fight, following them, the remaining fifteen D-Grade Automatons did the same thing.

Yakou sheathed his katana as he swung his sword to the side, assumed the stance as he floated high in the air, and looked at the Automatons curiously with a certain degree of wariness.

All of them had a humanoid appearance, just compared to the standard appearance of humanoids; they had some distinctive features, like some of them had extra limbs to which some weapons were attached, or their limbs were modeled as weapons, and so on...

Suddenly five of the C-Grade Automatons synchronized with each other before they assumed some kind of battle formation and together as one, with the support of the remaining D-Grade Automatons, they attacked the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Fifteen Tier 2s vs. one Tier 2.

While it seemed that Yakou was at a disadvantage, but that was hard from the truth.

"Let's dance..."

In a split of a second, Yakou's third eye Senrinjōnegan opened and shined with bright blue color as magatamas started swirling and unleashed one of the more powerful techniques in his arsenal.

"Seven Path Technique - Deva Path: Banshō Ten'in"

Suddenly all of the Automatons that were rushing at Yakou found themselves to be out of control and their speed accelerated tremendously as they were attracted towards Ōtsutsuki Yakou with lightning speed.

The Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki Clan readied his sword as he executed his technique at the incoming Automatons that were attracted to him through the Banshō Ten'in of Deva Path, the Heavenly Attraction of All Creation.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style - Heavenly Cut"

Only a mirage of Ōtsutsuki Yakou remained after him, as ten D-Grade Automatons were dismembered in one cut of his sword, as Yakou appeared behind them. The Automatons couldn't even comprehend what had now just happened.

Heaven's Blood Sword Style was a sword style that was developed in an unknown realm that was obtained by the Lord Shibai.

It was sword style that contained the invincible strength of the heavens.

Even in the Ōtsutsuki Clan, there were only a few members that practiced the Heaven's Blood Sword Style from the more than fifteen thousand members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Main Family.

"Weaker than I thought..."

Yakou muttered as he looked at the Automatons, who didn't waste a second as they re-arranged themselves.

In a moment, they re-arranged themselves into a new formation and attacked Yakou once more, this time in an attempt to entrap him from all sides.

For their own amusement, the Ōtsutsuki Crown Prince let himself to be surrounded, as he already foresaw all of the possibilities with the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan.

Chapter 24 - Total Obliteration
Yakou looked at the Automatons that were now surrounding him and preparing to fire at him with some kind of energy-based weaponry; unfortunately, everything was futile because nothing could escape his future sight.

"They are pretty weak... it seems that without specifically installed Psionic Cores, they can't match us in individual strength."

Normal Automatons could only depend on some advanced technology and their numbers.

Without Psionic Energy Fusion Reactors, they won't be able to match the individual destructive might of the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, especially the cultivator ones.

In this aspect, the Automatons were too far behind them and each Autmoaton with Psionic Energy Fusion Reactor was very precious to their civilization.

So logically, they wouldn't be sent to some remote planet like planet Deria.

"Seven-Path Technique - Deva Path: Shinra Tensei!"

The very own second Yakou executed the pinnacle ability of his Senrinjōnegan; an invisible force burst out of his third eye, as all Automatons in his vicinity were crushed into craps of metal in a matter of seconds.

Without any energy protection, they were not able to defend against the pinnacle ability of Rinnegan's Deva Path...

If these Automatons had installed Psionic Energy Fusion Reactors in their bodies, then they would be able to defend against the Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God Technique with some trouble, but they would be able to survive.

The Shinra Tensei or Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God Technique was a technique through which the user creates a "repulsive force", which is generally used to push away everything in the vicinity.

Users can narrow the repulsion's direction, only pushing away things on certain sides so that nearby allies will be unaffected. This repulsive force is most commonly created around the user as a defense, repelling nearby opponents or incoming energy-based attacks.

"It ended faster than I anticipated... but I got at least good loot... corpses of several Automatons made from D-Grade and C-Grade Alloys."

Each body of Automatons was relatively valuable even to the Ōtsutsuki Clan for a very simple reason at that...

Bodies of Automatons were made from high-ranking alloys and those were made from precious metals. In the Starveil Origin World, there was none better than mining and refining metals and ores than the Automatons.

In the Eastern Cosmic Region, there was the highest number of mineral-rich plants from the entire Starveil Origin World, including tens of Super High-Level Planets filled with countless precious metals.

Due to that, the Automatons could produce vessels capable of withstanding even the might of Holy Lords and even Empyreans, which was a frightening prospect at that.

Seeing the destroyed vessels of the Automatons, Yakou stored them all in his dimensional storage as he would be handing them over to the Clan.

The Alloys they were made from were useful to the ever-expanding Ōtsutsuki Clan.

After he disposed of the Automatons, he pondered for a while before his third eye pattern started shining brightly as the smaller magatamas circled around the main pattern.

This time, Yakjou was once more suing the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan to predict when the next move of the Automatons would be made. Because the Autamtons were species with the lowest capability of blocking their Divinations and Screening abilities, they were also rather easy to deal with.

Naturally, even they had some methods to block the sight of Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis and block the vision of Senrinjōnegan, but he doubted that they would employ it at the planet Daria.

The very moment his vision ended, Yakou grimaced a bit because of what he had seen and it wasn't a good vision... but at the same time, there was a feeling of anticipation and earning blooming inside his soul.

"B-Grade Automaton would be coming here within a few years... interesting, it would be a worthy opponent."

B-Grade Automatons and A-Grade Automatons were comparable to the Tier 3 Ōtsutsukis and if they had installed Psionic Energy Fusion Reactor, then they would be comparable even to the cultivator Ōtsutsukis, the Tier 3 Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki.

Through the Future Sight and Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan, he foresaw that this would be only ordinary B-Grade Automaton, albeit armed with some really nasty technologies...

Fortunately, it was rare for the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis to participate in such low-level missions, so Automatons would never think that somebody was using the Clairvoyance to foresee the next course of action and peer into the river of time.

After that, Yakou used the Omniscient Ability of the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan to check up on the others how they were faring against the Automatons.

Surprisingly, the one who finished the feasts was Kirihara, as he had just sealed all of them within Fūinjutsu.

And as expected, the two werewolves just bulldozed their way through the Automatons and smashed them apart one by one. None of them was strong enough to hold werewolf boosted to peak by Aura.

***

A short time after all four of them disposed of the Automaton invaders, they returned back to the God Tree Sapling to discuss the things that Yakou saw in his vision.

He informed his compatriots that in a few years, Automatons would be sent to the planet Deria B-Grade Automaton to break the Ōtsutsuki Clan that took the foothold on the planet that they wished to occupy.

"I want to fight it!"

When Yakou finished telling them about his prediction, as expected, Muzaka Kallikratos was the first one who wanted to fight against the B-Grade Automaton that would be coming to the planet Deria.

"That won't be the best idea."

Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan said slowly as the werewolf heir squinted his eyes at him.

"You don't have enough raw power to damage the B-Grade Automaton even with your Aura... or rather, you don't have enough power to destroy it entirely, so it would be better to leave the fight to me, in the worst case, I will just bombard it with the Dust Release until nothing remained from it."

Everyone was aware that to break through the toughness of the B-Grade Alloy, one needed to possess extremely high destructive might, capable of destroying entire stars... this was something that even Muzaka had to admit that he lacked.

Even with Yakou's Dust Release, it would be a hassle because the B-Grade Alloy should be strong to withstand most of the Dust Release for a short period of time.

Unfortunately, Yakou was still Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki and wasn't Saint Realm Cultivator...

If so, then he would be able to destroy such Automaton in one hit.

'It would be a tough fight... thought, still better than fighting one of those pesky Gods, even if they were of the same Tier as me.'

Gods were troublesome to deal with... even Demigods were a pain in the ass to deal with.

Their survival capabilities were top-notch, their destructive prowess was frightening compared to other beings of the same Tier and they typically had many trump cards for any unforeseen circumstances.

Chapter 25 - Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery of Dust
The most problematic thing about the Gods was actually killing them, as that was extremely hard. For example, even Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki, who reached Peak Saint Realm, would have a hard time killing Tier 3 Greater God.

Not because of the disparity in the raw power but mainly because the Gods had something very annoying called the Divine Kingdom. Usually, they were cooped in their Divine Kingdoms, only sending Avatars to fight in their stead.

Their Divine Kingdoms were separate dimensions in which the Gods were many times stronger and at the same time when someone invaded their Divine Kingdom, they could suppress the invader.

During the long fights against the Gods, the Ōtsutsuki Clan even lost one very powerful Empyrean Realm Ōtsutsuki clansman, who fell in the Divine Kingdom of God. Not to mention, even if the Divine Kingdom and even the True Body of said God were to be destroyed, it didn't end.

As long as Faith was flowing, the God who survived in his Soul Form could just escape, hide and recuperate and plan his return. The only certain way to kill God was to destroy his Soul and God Spark.

And this was very hard to achieve, so compared to Gods, fighting against Automatons was nothing; one just needed to be careful of their traps and numbers, but it was relatively okey.

And so on time passed, until several years have passed and it was time for the God Tree Sapling to bloom at any time. Not only that but also, the B-Grade Automaton would be coming around this time.

During the past few years, Yakou spent most of them either by training with Muzaka or spending time with his fianceé Kirihara. They discussed that they needed to have regular dates as they were engaged to each other, and during that time, they started opening up to each other.

One may think it was inevitable, as they were alone on the planet together with two werewolves if one didn't count the artifact spirit of the warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan they used to arrive at the planet Deria.

Due to the Dragon's Vein, where the God Tree took root and all the corpses and even some energy crystals that the four of them used to feed the sapling, the God Tree grew in rapid time and was already close to being completely grown.

Yakou was currently meditating under the God Tree, cross-legged, sitting below the tremendously huge God Tree that was tall hundreds of meters and more than fifty meters thick in the trunk.

He was practicing the Celestial Chakra Manual, where he already reached Expert-ranked Mastery within the Chakra Cultivation technique and had superb control over his Chakra.

This was very important for any member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan due to their tremendous amount of Chakra; control was always their priority.

Obviously, practicing the Celestial Chakra Manual was a pretty much boring activity because one only sat and cultivated and not many Ōtsutsukis were thrilled at that idea.

Sitting in one place for decades was not for everyone, especially for the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, who were a rather active and impulsive species.

But there was no shortcut to obtaining superior Chakra Control, which was base for any Ōtsutsuki Clansmen because, without proper Chakra Control, they wouldn't be able to set up on the path of Evolutionary Cultivation, reach higher Tiers or even control their own power.

"Soon enough, I would be able to reach 3rd-Grade Tier 2 and move onto proper Cultivation Method and reach Saint Realm... right now, the only thing that is remaining is the comprehension of Dao to become the Saint."

Yakou already decided that he would ascend as Saint through the Dao of Dust... which would be extremely challenging but at the same time, it would provide him tremendous benefits at the later stages of his cultivation.

The Dao was divided into three grades.

The Heavenly Dao, Grand Dao and Lesser Dao.

Heavenly Daos were the moving force of the Origin World; they were the strongest and hardest to comprehend. Only one person during one Era may have had a chance to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but each person who achieved this feat became an unparalleled powerhouse.

Grand Daos were related to natural phenomena and may even contain subsidiary lesser Daos and may themselves be a part of a Heavenly Dao. Most people who reached high levels in the cultivation comprehended the Grand Daos because they were a tad easier to comprehend.

And on the bottom of the list were the Lesser Daos.

As Yakou was sitting under God Tree, sitting cross-legged alone without any Shadow Clones, just he alone, suddenly his third eye opened fully as he was contemplating about the Dust.

'The Primordial Dust... the origin of all things in creation and destruction... the nothingness...'

Suddenly he felt something changing within his body and Soul and he quickly recognized what was happening. As he was randomly sitting under the God Tree, Yakou managed to touch the basic comprehension level of the Dao of Dust.

The first comprehension level of Dao was called the Profound Mystery Level because one had comprehended the Profound Mystery of the Dao and broke the mysterious veil of unknown around the Dao and it became clear to him.

While Yakou was not at that level, he was rather far, but he could feel the embryonic form of Dao of Dust swelling in his Soul.

Just that tiny gray speck of Dust inside his Soul increased the power of his Dust Release several times over.

"Who would have thought that this simple mission would allow me to experience an epiphany..."

Yakou smiled as he conjured a cube of Dust Release on his palm, noticing that the power of his Dust Release was stronger by approximately 270%, which was absolutely frightening... but that was the power of Dao Comprehension.

It was like using an ability that one didn't understand and using an ability that one understood perfectly. Not only that, but the consumption of Chakra went down by 40%, which was a tremendously high number.

And this was only the start; the moment he comprehended the Dao of Dust and achieved a Profound Mystery Level from the embryonic form, then the power of his Dust Release should be ten times of normal state.

Now he understood why the Ōtsutsuki Cultivators could fight several of those who didn't practice the Evolutionary Cultivation when on the same Tier and at the same time and win easily.

Only by becoming a Saint could he participate in the higher level battlefield and fight with the top powerhouse of the Starveil Origin World.

Yakou hated to admit it, but even despite all of his advantages, if he encountered some Automaton with an installed Psionic Energy Fusion Reactor, then he would be at a severe disadvantage.

Several hours after he managed to comprehend the Embryotic Form of the Profound Mystery of Dao of Dust, he suddenly felt several spaceships approaching the planet Deria from the end of the solar system.

All of them were of the Automaton design and belonged to them...

It seemed that the honored guests were here.

Though simultaneously, Yakou had a very bad feeling about that...

Something in his prediction probably went wrong.

Chapter 26 - Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki vs. Commander Automaton (1)
Instantly, three figures appeared next to Yakou was stood up from his cultivation season as all of them sensed the incoming mini fleet of the Automatons...

"I see that this isn't going according to the protections..."

Muzaka muttered with a slight frown as Yakou was forced to agree with him begrudgingly.

One of the big weaknesses of the Divinations carried out through the Senrinjōnegan was that they didn't need to be always 100%. That was because one could attain precise Future Sight only by comprehending and attaining high mastery over the Dao of Fate, Dao of Karma or Dao of Time.

What the Senrinjōnegan did was just show the highest possible future and the highest possible outcome...

Even that was something that could give the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis tremendous advantages.

Yet, it seems that this time, something must have changed during the time, Yakou carried out the Divination about the next wave of Automatons coming to the planet Deria and the time they spent on the planet.

"It doesn't change anything... if it were that dangerous, then I would have been warned already, so this is still within our capabilities."

What Yakou was talking about was another ability of the Senrinjōnegan, and that was Threat Detection.

With the Omniscient he was right now using, he could peer into the fleet of Automatons, as they didn't have any methods to resist his sight and saw the army of Automatons that came here.

"Commander... B-Grade Commander Automaton... this is problematic, but still, nothing that we can't handle."

Yakou stated with a stern voice; all of his previous casualness was long gone the moment he saw Commander Automaton standing on the deck of the ship.

It was of Arachne-type automaton, shaped like Arachens of the Evernight High Council.

"But fortunately, one without Psionic Energy..."

If it had Psionic Energy, then Senrinjōnegan would have already sensed it, so it was the better variant.

"And how do you want to deal with Commander faster than they could obtain a foothold?"

Muzaka asked the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan as Yakou pondered over the plan before he decided on a rather dangerous course of action.

"We will attack the commanding ship directly and destroy the Commander before it can do anything; if I could draw the Commander into fight one on one, then it wouldn't have time to coordinate the forces of the Automatons."

Commanders were special grade of Automatons that had greatly enhanced computing capabilities and were always leading the armies of Automatons to battle.

Their computing capabilities were advanced to the point where they could predict the future moves of their opponents during the fight.

Fortunately, Yakou was able to counter this with his Senrinjōnegan...

Its prediction capability when it came to things that would happen in the near future was pretty advanced and accurate even without the comprehension of Dao of Fate or similar...

"Right now, they are approaching the planet and they would be landing on the former fortifications of the Automatons on the bigger continent. We need to prevent the Commander from landing down, so we will shoot down his ship during the landing because, during that, it would be most vulnerable."

Most of the spaceships were most vulnerable when they were landing down on the ground and Yakou planned to shoot the main ship where the Commander Automaton was during that time.

If he was lucky, not only would he have injured Commander Automaton and forced the machine to fight him in a duel, but also destroy a large part of their army they brought with them...

Because there were tens of thousands of Automatons.

Fortunately, most of them were no threat, even if they were large in numbers; the only thing they needed to do was to not fall into some of their formation and traps.

If that happens, then even he could be killed by them.

Deciding on the course of action, Muzaka and Yakou flew towards the place where the Automaton ships were supposed to land, as they used some stealth techniques to hide from the Automaton scanning technology.

It didn't take long for Muzaka and Yakou to arrive at the destination, while Juraka and Kirihara remained with the God Tree as extra protection in case something happened.

The God Tree was their priority and it must be guarded all the time.

"We are good..."

Seeing that they were close enough, close enough to see the ship from the ground as it was slowly descending from orbit, Yakou started conjuring a small cube of Dust Release before he shook his head and dismissed it.

Instantly a greenish Chakra Cloak appeared around his body, as his Tensei-Sharingan shined brightly, activating the Cosmic Chakra Projection.

This was a special technique, essentially a heightened transformation unique to those who possess the Tenseigan.

Behind Yakou, six Truth-Seeking Balls were circulating, only contrary to ordinary Truth-Seeking Balls, which were orbs of malleable black chakra which could alter their form and characteristics in various ways; these ones were of greenish color.

Yakou then conjured six cubes of Dust Release and fused them together with his Truth-Seekign Balls before he took all six of Dust Release, infused Truth-Seeking Balls into his balls and hell descended o into unaware Automatons.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Dust Annihilation!"

As he grasped the six Dust Release infused Truth-Seeking Balls, an enormous silver typhoon shot towards the incoming Automaton ships, mainly towards the biggest of them, which was the ship of Commander Automaton.

Before anyone could react, from four ships that were descending from the orbit, the three smaller ones were instantly destroyed as they exploded into a huge cloud of fire and a sea of explosions.

The biggest ship, the commanding one, was a different story because it was only severely damaged. Still, fortunately, Yakou achieved his goal, as the ship started crashing down because the engines were destroyed together with large parts of the ship.

Still, it was made from superior materials and even had some passive energy shields activated, so Yakou didn't manage to destroy the entire ship.

Nevertheless, he was satisfied with the result.

He managed to bring down the majority of the ships, together with severely damaging the main ship of the Automatons. With the omniscient view of Senrinjōnegan, he saw that approximately 80% of the Automatons were destroyed with the first wave of attacks.

This was a splendid result.

"Destroy any D-Grade and C-Grade Automaton that exit the rubble... don't play with them and finish them as soon as possible."

Yakou said to Muzaka, who grunted and transformed into his semi-werewolf form as his height increased by another one meter and silverfish fur appeared all around his body, his hands turned into wolf claws and his tooth became sharper than swords.

Chapter 27 - Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki vs. Commander Automaton (2)
Seconds later, from the flaming rubble of the spaceship, the enormous towering figure of Commander Automaton appeared.

Yakou scrutinized the Commander Automaton with his Senrinjōnegan and Tensei-Sharingan, seeking any kind of weakness, weak spot or opportunity to attack.

The Commander's Automaton looked like Arachne, with the upper body of a humanoid and the lower body that of a spider.

Its body was composed of a sturdy metal framework, providing structural integrity and support for the various mechanical parts, made from top-notch B-Grade Alloys and Metals, giving its body extremely tough defenses.

Considering the fact that the Commander Automaton was completely unscathed, it was understandable... for en Elite Commander Automaton.

Yakou saw that its abdomen housed its core control systems, including a sophisticated array of sensors, processors, and power sources. The power source on which the Comamnde Automaton worked was, fortunately, Nuclear Fission... that was a good thing because it was not Psionic Energy.

These components worked in harmony to regulate and coordinate the golem's movements, balance, and sensory perception. The sensors included cameras, infrared scanners, or other specialized devices to enhance it's awareness of the surroundings.

On top of that, it even incorporated several additional features, mainly the retractable spinnerets that can deploy strong synthetic silk.

Naturally, the synthetic silk was not strong enough to bind powerful experts and Yakou could cut through it with his sword, but he would need to be careful around Commander Automaton.

In its two pairs of human hands, it was holding two swords and two hands were transformed into cannons, probably firing some kind of highly destructive energy, capable of easily injuring even Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis...

'I need to be careful and fast.'

Yakou thought as he gripped his katana, assuming the stance of Iaido and activated his third eye, which he felt was draining his Chakra at a steady pace.

"Heavenly Cut!"

He drew out his katana in a flash and performed a standard move from Heaven's Blood Sword Style, aiming at one of the hands of the Commander Automaton holding the energy cannons.

The first thing to do was to deprive the enemy of advantages...

He needed to destroy the possibility of Commander Automaton fighting long-ranged.

Before Commander Automaton could react, Yakou was already quite a distance behind him as the severed cannon limb of Commander Automaton fell onto the ground.

Yet, Commander Automaton wasn't bothered by the loss of one of his cannons, as he quickly turned around and fired a concentrated beam of pure energy at Yakou, forcing the Ōtsutsuki Crown Prince to dodge swiftly.

Yakou was barely able to dodge the energy projectiles as the Commander Automatons closed the distance between the two of them and attacked the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan with its swords and even its legs.

Only now, Yakou realized that he underestimated Commander Automaton because it was far faster than he anticipated and all of its attacks were extremely precise and perfectly executed, mainly thanks to perfect calculations done by the Automaton.

At the same time, Yakou had no problem countering them or dodging them because of his experiences in combat and at the same time, he was constantly using the future sight of the Senrinjōnegan Dōjutsu during the fight.

As he dodged the incoming sword strike from Commander Automaton, he suddenly noticed that something penetrated his stomach slightly, even tearing through his samurai-plated armor.

He landed on the ground, as he instantly used the Cosmic Chakra Projection to condense one small Truth-Seeking Ball and put it on his injury. At the same time, the patterns on his third eye started rotating and he unleashed one of the most potent techniques.

"Seven-Path Techniques: Deva Path - Shinra Tensei!"

Instantaneously, Commander Automaton was shot several tens of kilometers away like a cannonball through the Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God Technique of Senrinjōnegan.

This gave him precious time to recuperate his wounds.

'Damm... it was poisoned by Chakra Eating Poison.'

Yakou cursed because the Chakra Eating Poison was problematic to deal with and was specifically targeting the Chakra of Ōtsutsukis. Naturally, he had some means to deal with it, but during the fight, it would be more dangerous for him.

'Even with the future sight, I could only go toe to toe with B-Grade Commander Automaton... this one would give trouble to even the majority of Tier 3 beings.'

He was sure that even if two of the werewolves reached Tier 3, then they would have a very hard time dealing with the B-Grade Commander Automaton as long as they didn't use some of their hidden cards to deal with the machine.

Yakou didn't waste any time, as he took out a small vial filled with thick greenish liquid and gulped it in one go. It was the antidote against the Chakra Eating Poison, rather a precious thing even in the Ōtsutsuki Clan and a small vial would cost tens of thousands of Cosmos Crystals.

While at the same time, he conjured another Truth-Seeking Ball in his left hand that was flaming with green Chakra as hundreds of small projectiles were shot toward the place where the Commander Automaton crashed.

'Unfortunately, as I am not Saint Realm, my Clairvoyance isn't very strong and I could only predict a limited amount of things in such a short time... Not to mention, that fucking machine is borrowing the computing power of others...'

It didn't take Yakou long to realize what was happening, as Commander Automaton was borrowing the computing powers of all Automatons on planet Deria to counter his own Clairvoyance of Senrinjōnegan.

'Muzaka instantly destroy as many of those scraps of metal as possible!'

He sent a telepathic message to his friend because this would deprive Commander Automaton of the sole thing that was hindering Yakou's Senrinjōnegan and the Future Sight.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style: Heavenly Cut!"

He gripped his katana which was flaming with greenish Cosmic Projection Chakra and slashed forward, destroying several tens of energy beams that were shot at him by the Commander Automaton.

Even despite the fight that was going on, the machine was in relatively good condition; it was very hard for Yakou to damage the dammed thing without explicit usage of Dust Release, which was boosted by the Dao of Dust on Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level.

Seeing that, Yakou decided to change the strategy and started keeping the distance from Commander Automaton.

At the same time, Muzaka transformed into his final state and started destroying the Automatons left and right at lightning speed.

Obviously, Commander Automaton wanted to prevent that because he was borrowing computing power from all of the machines to render his opponent's Clairvoyance relatively useless.

It knew that with it, the Ōtsutsuki would have a huge advantage during the fight.

This was a common strategy of Automatons when dealing with the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

Fundamentally, it worked splendidly and only some of the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen that comprehended related Daos could outmatch the absolutely frightening computing capabilities of some high-Tiered Automatons that were borrowing computing powers of servers as large as continents.
