Universe?
Energy harvesting?
A person from another world?
Though contained in just a few short sentences, the sheer volume of information caused the completely oblivious Sasuke and Naruto to mentally "explode" on the spot.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to be doing?
Although they had briefly met the soul of Hagoromo, the Sage of the Six Paths, within the Infinite Tsukuyomi, learning much about Kaguya and the tragic fratricide of Asura and Indra, all of that paled in comparison to the shock of Allen's recent revelation!
Yes, it was pure shock.
Whether it was Kaguya's true nature or Allen's open admission that he hailed from another world, both concepts far exceeded the boundaries of Naruto and Sasuke's understanding.
"So, you are an outsider as well? No wonder..." A flash of realization crossed Kaguya's eyes.
However, her expression quickly twisted into a snarl. "Regardless of which world you come from, this planet belongs to me! No one shall snatch it from my hands! Hand over what you stole from the God Tree, or else..."
Before she could finish, Allen interrupted with a cold sneer. "Or else what? Kill me? Or turn me into a 'tool' to provide energy like those people hanging from the tree? Besides... what do you think I'm here for? I'm here to kill you!"
As the final syllable left his lips, he lunged forward. Wielding the Sulfuras Sword, the artifact forged specifically for this day, he swung directly at his prey.
Raptor Strike!
BOOM!
Accompanying a blinding flash of red light, the blade unleashed a massive fireball that completely engulfed Kaguya. She had no time to react before a horrific wound was torn open from her left shoulder to her chest. The charred flesh and bone around the incision were blackened, clearly suffering from severe burns caused by the triggered fireball and flames.
"AAAAAHHHH!"
The agonizing pain forced a scream from the woman. She immediately utilized her levitation ability to retreat rapidly, stopping only when she reached the mid-air heights she deemed safe.
Driven by her staggering chakra, the horrific wound healed in the blink of an eye. Once the last of the scarring vanished, she stared at the Sulfuras Sword with a look of extreme wariness. A full minute passed before she spoke.
"The weapon in your hand... does it also come from another world?"
"This sword? No. It was forged in this world. And it was forged specifically for you! Today, it shall drink its fill of your blood."
As he spoke, Allen lightly trailed his finger across the scalding blade, allowing Kaguya's blood to soak into the edge, slowly forming a dark-brown coating. This substance was none other than a special material, similar to Truth-Seeker Orbs or the shakujo staff, created through the combination of Yin-Yang Release. Once fused with the sword, it would make the weapon even more threatening and lethal.
"Kill me? Are you serious? Do you have any idea what my death would mean for this world?" Anger and dread flickered in Kaguya's eyes.
She was angry because since consuming the Chakra Fruit, no one had dared speak such words to her; even her two rebellious sons a thousand years ago could only manage to seal her. Her dread stemmed from the strength Allen displayed, combined with the devastating power of the Sulfuras Sword, he possessed a genuine threat to her life.
Most weapons couldn't even pierce her outermost layer of skin. But the Sulfuras Sword? A single strike had nearly cleaved her in two. Specifically, the moment of contact unleashed a terrifying, high-temperature flame seemingly birthed from the planet's core, instantly evaporating all the chakra she used for defense.
Even though she had recovered, the wound still throbbed with an indescribable pain. It wasn't just physical; it was a pain of the soul. This sword could damage Kaguya's very spirit.
Allen shrugged with total indifference. "The worst-case scenario is simply a blowout release of all the chakra you've siphoned, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. But rest assured, I won't give you that chance. Killing you, seizing and devouring everything you are, that is my true goal. Whether it's the God Tree, the sea of chakra in your body, or the unique genetic traits of the Otsutsuki clan, they shall all become my trophies."
"No! You can't do that!" Naruto jumped out, shouting to stop him.
"That's right! The Sage of the Six Paths said she must not die; she can only be sealed," Sasuke echoed.
"Must not die? Hmph! Don't let Hagoromo deceive you! No one in this world is 'undying' by necessity. He told you she can only be sealed out of his own selfishness. Kaguya is his biological mother, after all. Is it so strange for a son to want to preserve his mother's life?" Allen's voice was thick with contempt for the Sage.
Only seal her? What a joke. Based on Kaguya's crimes, dying a million times wouldn't be enough. Most importantly, she never viewed the humans of this planet as people; she saw them as poultry or livestock, resources to be bred and slaughtered at will.
As Naruto and Sasuke prepared to argue further, Allen turned to Karin and Neji. "Deal with these two nuisances for me. They've already been influenced by Hagoromo. If necessary, killing them is fine."
"Understood! Leave Sasuke to me!" Neji fixed his gaze on the "Second Young Master," who once shared his title of genius.
Karin sighed helplessly. "Sigh. I guess I'll deal with Naruto then."
The moment the words fell, the two vanished from their spots.
THUD! THUD!
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were sent flying instantly, tumbling pathetically across the ground until they crashed through several large trees before steadying themselves.
In the past, an attack of such terrifying power would have left them dead or critically injured. However, since receiving the chakra and Yin-Yang Release bestowed by the Sage of the Six Paths, their durability and vitality had skyrocketed; they had escaped with only minor injuries.
But Allen's attention was no longer on them. He turned his gaze to the last remaining combatant, Obito. "Tell me your choice."
"If you successfully kill Kaguya and seize her power, what will you do?" Obito asked, his eyes focused through his dual Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Nothing. I will choose to leave. This world doesn't need a god. Humanity should choose its own path for the future." Allen gave his answer without hesitation.
Hearing this, Obito responded with a smile. "Then I am on your side."
"Excellent! Then let us complete the final step of the plan together."
Realizing the Sulfuras Sword alone wouldn't kill his enemy quickly enough, Allen decisively sheathed the artifact and drew his most proficient weapon: his bow.
He knew that with Kaguya's spatial abilities, she wouldn't easily let him close the distance again. Instead of constantly chasing her with a sword, it was better to use his bow to create an opening for a fatal blow.
