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.
