Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

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.
