Ken directly plundered Ranshiki's nine tomoe golden Rinnegan, tearing it away before she could activate [Resurgence] again.
While Brook was devouring and fusing with Ōtsutsuki Rashiki, Ken, the strongest elder of the Ōtsutsuki clan, was also madly plundering and devouring one of his own, Elder Ranshiki.
If not for the rules left behind by Shibai Ōtsutsuki, and if not for the hope he had once placed in his son Kenshiki, Elder Ken would never have gone this far against his own people.
But the three Ōtsutsuki elders had always stood together and had never given him a chance. For the sake of peace within the clan, Reishi had also refused to see Ken and the other elders slaughter each other, choosing instead to swing between both sides.
For all these reasons, the strongest elder had endured for many years. Despite holding the greatest power, he had never been able to become the new leader of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
But now his son Kenshiki was dead.
[Benzaiten] was gone.
His hope of becoming a god was being shattered piece by piece.
And another elder, Rashiki, had already been devoured by the enemy.
All of this finally released the demon sealed inside Ken.
His eye technique had been born to plunder his own clan.
From this moment onward, no rule could restrain him. No one could limit him.
He would become the new patriarch of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
He would kill all the elders, monopolize every resource, and become the new god of the Ōtsutsuki.
After plundering Elder Ranshiki and devouring her body, Ken finally upgraded the six tomoe golden Rinnegan on his forehead into a nine tomoe golden Rinnegan.
He had reached his strongest state.
Three nine tomoe golden Rinnegan.
With one more step, he could truly become the new Ōtsutsuki God.
But when he thought of that mysterious man devouring two Ōtsutsuki elders, his heart ached with rage.
How wonderful would it have been if those two useless elders had become his food instead?
If that had happened, he might have already become the new Ōtsutsuki God.
A fierce light flashed in Kenshiki's eyes as he decisively opened [Yomotsu Hirasaka] and returned to the Ōtsutsuki Origin Star.
He intended to plunder and devour the last elder in the clan territory, along with the second generation descendants of the other elders.
He needed to become the strongest before killing that mysterious man and taking everything from him.
From now on, he would be the only true god in this universe.
As Ken returned to his lair to unleash his fury, Brook also completed his final advancement, becoming a top tier existence with three nine tomoe golden Rinnegan.
"Haha! Plundering really is the fastest way to get stronger!"
Brook burst out of the Rune Dimension and only spent a short time adapting to Rashiki's two exclusive eye techniques before opening a [Yomotsu Hirasaka] passage.
He intended to seize this chance and wipe out the Ōtsutsuki clan in one sweep.
The thought of all the prey waiting to be devoured in the Ōtsutsuki territory made his blood boil with excitement.
For the first time, he was about to open a spatial passage to the Ōtsutsuki Origin Star.
Meanwhile, the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory had already descended into a bloody disaster.
"Elder Ken has gone mad! Run!"
Countless Ōtsutsuki clan members fled in panic.
At this moment, Ken was a hundred times more terrifying than Uchiha Itachi during the night of the clan massacre.
He plundered and devoured large numbers of Ōtsutsuki clan members, turning them into chakra and absorbing them into his own power.
"Are you insane, Ken Ōtsutsuki? Your eyes!"
When Elder Natsushiki saw the nine tomoe golden Rinnegan on Kenshiki's forehead, an ominous thought flashed through his mind.
"Natsushiki, become my strength too!"
After plundering and devouring the offspring of Rashiki, Ranshiki, and Reishi, Ken stared madly at the last Ōtsutsuki elder.
As for the other Ōtsutsuki elites and ordinary clansmen, he would spare them for now.
They were still needed as workers in the future. Someone had to plant Divine Trees and harvest Chakra Fruits.
"You devoured Rashiki and Ranshiki!"
Natsushiki's expression turned extremely grim.
He had always known that Ken's exclusive eye technique was dangerous. The moment the elders learned about it, they understood what kind of threat Ken represented.
He had been born to devour his own kind.
Even Lord Shibai had once personally warned Ken.
The rule forbidding members of the main family from killing one another had been created to preserve the clan's order.
"Rashiki, that useless fool, has already been eaten by that mysterious man. Natsushiki, for the sake of the Ōtsutsuki clan, I must become stronger. So you will become my power as well!"
"Only when I become the new Ōtsutsuki God can I defeat that enemy and lead our clan to a brighter future!"
Ken shouted at Natsushiki like a madman.
The feeling of rapidly growing stronger was too intoxicating.
It was impossible to resist.
Even Ken's eldest son, Kashiki, looked at his father with fear.
But when he thought of his father killing the other four elders and their descendants, and when he remembered that his father's most beloved youngest son, Kenshiki, was already dead, his fear turned into a strange kind of anticipation.
Did that not mean that once his father became the Ōtsutsuki patriarch, or even the Ōtsutsuki God, he would become the sole heir?
At that thought, Kashiki no longer seemed so afraid.
Perhaps he would become the only crown prince of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Inside the ruins of Northern Yomi Hell, Brook was about to open a spatial passage into the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory when one Ōtsutsuki elite after another suddenly escaped through [Yomotsu Hirasaka].
Brook did not say a word.
He immediately began hunting them down, capturing and sealing every elite Ōtsutsuki who fled into the ruins.
Perhaps they would have other uses later.
After devouring several powerful elites, Brook also learned what was happening inside the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory.
He had never expected Ken to possess such a powerful devouring ability as well.
That old bastard was even trying to steal his business.
There were not many Ōtsutsuki elites who had awakened [Yomotsu Hirasaka]. After waiting for a while and seeing no more prey appear, Brook immediately rushed into the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory.
At that moment, Ken was frantically attacking Natsushiki.
He wanted to plunder and devour this elder to push his own strength to the absolute peak.
Otherwise, he would not have complete confidence in dealing with the mysterious man.
"You want to kill someone in front of me? No chance!"
The moment Brook entered the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory, he launched an attack on Ken.
He absolutely could not allow Ken to devour Elder Natsushiki.
If that happened, Brook might not be able to defeat this old monster.
Of course, Brook also wanted to devour Natsushiki himself.
Whoever devoured Natsushiki now would gain the greater boost and lay the foundation for victory.
"Natsushiki! This outsider wants to devour you too! Are you going to stand there and watch the Ōtsutsuki clan be destroyed by an outsider?"
"Hurry up and become my strength! I will lead the Ōtsutsuki clan, defeat him, and carry us into a brighter future!"
Ken had not expected this mysterious man to invade their territory so quickly.
His sense of crisis soared.
If they were not careful, the Ōtsutsuki clan might truly be wiped out in their generation.
-------------
Seeing that Brook, an outsider, also possessed three nine tomoe golden Rinnegan, Ōtsutsuki Natsushiki was shaken to the core. At the same time, he finally believed Ken's words.
But there was no way he would obediently let himself be devoured.
How could the Ōtsutsuki clan fall into the hands of a madman like Ken?
Still, in the eyes of both Ken and Brook, he was nothing more than food. There was almost no path left for him to escape.
All he could do was wait for a chance while the two monsters fought each other.
But whenever Natsushiki tried to open a [Yomotsu Hirasaka] passage and flee, Ken and Brook immediately interfered with the space, blocking him by force and preventing him from escaping.
Natsushiki was even forbidden from sending his son away, which filled him with fury.
However, because of the gap in strength, he did not dare act rashly.
He could only keep waiting.
Once Ken and the outsider forcibly entered the white Rinnegan state and fought to the death, they would inevitably enter a period of chakra weakness. At that moment, he would take his descendants and flee.
But while Ken fought Brook, Natsushiki saw him stretch his evil claws toward the Ōtsutsuki clansmen again. Even the outsider was directly devouring members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
He could not bear it anymore.
For the sake of the Ōtsutsuki clan, he would fight these two bastards to the death.
"All Ōtsutsuki clansmen, lend me your power! I will fight with everything I have and bring you out of here!"
Natsushiki roared, and the nine tomoe golden Rinnegan on his forehead spun wildly as he activated his unique eye technique.
[United We Stand!]
Natsushiki's two sons were the first to transform into golden chakra light and flow into his body, causing his aura to swell.
Faced with the choice between being devoured by Ken or temporarily fusing with Elder Natsushiki, the remaining Ōtsutsuki clansmen decisively chose the latter.
Then, to Brook's astonishment, a large number of Ōtsutsuki clan members transformed into masses of chakra energy and poured into Natsushiki's body.
"Natsushiki, you bastard! Don't even think about running! The Ōtsutsuki clan is mine!"
"If you take them away, you'll ruin the clan! I'll find you sooner or later!"
Ken roared in rage.
He would never allow the Ōtsutsuki clan to escape.
If Natsushiki led the clan away from the Origin Star through [Yomotsu Hirasaka], Ken's path to godhood would become far more difficult.
Even he would struggle to find them in the vast universe. He would have to search one planet after another, or wait for them to appear in the ruins of the Underworld. Either way, the difficulty would rise sharply.
Without the Ōtsutsuki clan as tools to continue planting Divine Trees, his path to godhood would almost be cut off.
Shibai Ōtsutsuki had once left behind a prophecy.
A thousand years from now, when the new gods of the Underworld and higher gods descended, the Ōtsutsuki clan might also be slaughtered.
Therefore, if Ken failed to become a god, then a thousand years later, the clan would have no choice but to scatter across the planets of this universe and hide. Only then might the race continue.
But from that moment onward, they would live like rats, hunted by the second god of the Underworld.
Unless the Ōtsutsuki clan produced another being as powerful as the ancient Ōtsutsuki God, one capable of defeating the god of the Underworld, they would never again enjoy a safe period of development.
Kenshiki refused to live like a rat.
He had to become a god, just like Shibai, and leave this world for a higher realm.
"Ken, from now on, I will protect the Ōtsutsuki clan! You are the sinner of our race!"
After absorbing a large number of Ōtsutsuki clansmen, Natsushiki's aura reached its peak. His power was no weaker than Kenshiki or Brook.
If a Natsushiki in this state used [Yomotsu Hirasaka] to leave, even Brook might not be able to stop him.
[Undying!]
As if his body were about to burst apart, Natsushiki activated another eye technique, placing himself into a state of perpetual indestructibility.
Even if the massive chakra inside him tore him apart, he could still fully recover.
This was a powerful eye technique that granted endless chakra and an indestructible body.
Meanwhile, Ken's son, Kashiki, looked at Elder Natsushiki in panic as he prepared to lead the entire clan away.
If all the clansmen left, then what use would he be as the future crown prince of the Ōtsutsuki?
But just as Natsushiki was about to leave, Ken and Brook attacked him together in perfect unison.
At this moment, their goal was the same.
"Ken, you sinner!"
Natsushiki never expected Ken to join forces with an outsider against him.
Was this man trying to bring about the complete extinction of the Ōtsutsuki clan?
"You can't take them away! Acknowledge me as clan leader and fight this outsider with me. I swear I will never harm you!"
Ken shouted his promise while desperately blocking Natsushiki's retreat.
He believed that as long as they defeated this outsider, then with the Ōtsutsuki clan's thousand years of effort, he would definitely be able to advance and become the Ōtsutsuki God.
When Brook heard that, he became unhappy.
He immediately stopped competing for the power in Natsushiki's body and turned to deal with Ken instead, no longer trying to stop Natsushiki from escaping.
After hearing Ken's words, Natsushiki hesitated for a moment.
But then he remembered the elders, second generation descendants, and countless clansmen who had died at Ken's hands.
He no longer trusted Ken.
Taking advantage of Brook blocking Ken path, he chose to leave directly.
He believed he was more qualified than Ken to lead the Ōtsutsuki clan and preserve its bloodline.
Seeing Natsushiki about to enter the [Yomotsu Hirasaka] passage, Ken nearly went mad.
He finally entered the white Rinnegan state, pushing his strength to the limit as he continued blocking Natsushiki's retreat.
Brook could only follow and enter the same state to fight Ken.
However, Ken's exclusive eye technique, [Clan Plunder], suddenly swallowed his eldest son Kashiki, who had been watching from the side.
His aura rose slightly once more.
Then Ken used his strongest eye technique.
[Overlord!]
In an instant, Brook and Natsushiki's consciousness were separated from their bodies, causing both of them to lose control.
But Ken knew he could not control Brook, who possessed the white Rinnegan, for long.
He had also seen Brook use [Never Setting Sun] and knew that Brook could absorb and use other people's eye techniques. He was not confident he could kill Brook in one strike.
Therefore, he aimed directly at Elder Natsushiki.
As long as he advanced again, he could take his time dealing with this outsider.
With greed blazing in his eyes, Kenshiki activated [Clan Plunder] again and swallowed Natsushiki whole.
Even if every clansman in the Ōtsutsuki territory died, he would still reach a stronger state and kill Brook.
As for the Ōtsutsuki clansmen planting trees outside, the worst outcome was that the clan's Divine Tree planting efficiency would fall for the next thousand years.
Brook hurriedly used the power of the Four Gods to forcefully break through Ken's domination and regain control of his consciousness.
When he saw Ken about to devour the immobilized Natsushiki, he became anxious as well.
[Power of the Four Gods: Super Kamui!]
The white Rinnegan on Brook's forehead spun wildly, warping space toward Natsushiki's head.
