NOVEL WEB Chapter 181: Chapter 181
Facing the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, a technique powerful enough to sever a lunar continent, Uchiha Shin did not retreat or dodge.
A mere counterattack from a dying man? Not worth avoiding.
"Shinra Tensei: Absolute Destruction!"
With a single raised hand, Shin unleashed the full power of his repulsion technique without hesitation. A cataclysmic force erupted from his body, forming an impenetrable barrier against the world itself.
The strongest spear met the strongest shield.
The clash sent shockwaves through the void. The very earth trembled beneath its might. Those below, far away on the surface, felt the unnatural pull of the moon shifting, the oceans rising, and tsunamis forming in response.
A golden brilliance, blinding and divine, illuminated the heavens, radiating from the moon like an apocalyptic omen.
"HRRAAH!"
Shin poured more chakra into his technique, expanding the repulsive field at light-speed—ten kilometers, a hundred, a thousand! Everything in its path was obliterated, flattened in an instant.
The exhausted Otsutsuki Seitaro faltered. His body, already shattered, could no longer maintain the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
His lips moved as if whispering final words, yet no sound came. Then, he perished.
His corpse detonated, disintegrating into pure chakra, absorbed by Shin like the countless Otsutsuki before him.
With each battle, each enemy consumed, Shin's bloodline grew purer, his power ever greater. The oppressive force he emanated became tangible—his very presence defied gravity.
Floating in the vastness of space, Shin stretched out his hand. The dimmed, once-radiant Giant tenseigan of the moon was pulled towards him with a single gesture.
The Six Tomoe Rinnegan in his eyes pulsed violently. A shift occurred—the moment he had been waiting for.
The ancient, godlike eyes before him transformed. White. Pure. Perfect.
A Byakugan beyond any before it. The culmination of Otsutsuki blood, refined to its utmost peak.
He could feel it. The Tenseigan was near.
"Sacrifice for Rebirth."
Amaterasu's black flames roared in his hand, engulfing the Giant tenseigan in an instant.
The endless chakra, the culmination of the Otsutsuki clan's stolen power, surged like a tidal wave. Seitaro had wasted much of it, but even so, what remained was beyond comprehension.
Shin trembled, not in weakness but in anticipation.
His Byakugan pulsed. A heartbeat. A 'fetal movement.'
Within the white void of his eyes, something stirred. A single snowflake-blue glow.
It bloomed slowly, like an embryo growing within the womb of power itself.
Shin exhaled sharply. "It's different from the Tenseigan I expected. This will take time."
Looking downward, he assessed the aftermath.
A chasm stretched into the depths of the moon—an abyss with no bottom. He had successfully blocked Seitaro's technique, yet the collateral damage was undeniable.
Half of the moon was severed.
Unacceptable.
Left as it was, the imbalance would wreak havoc upon the Earth.
"Universal Gravitational Dominance!"
Spreading his arms, Shin released an overwhelming suction force, blanketing the moon itself.
Even though his Tenseigan was incomplete, the power that had fused into him amplified his Rinnegan to monstrous levels.
At that moment, he alone controlled the celestial body.
"HAAAH!"
The universe rumbled. The moon's very orbit shifted under his command. The abyssal rift sealed, the severed half drawn back into place, fusing seamlessly as if time itself had been reversed.
Balance restored.
Then, a whisper.
"...Child."
Shin's breath hitched. He turned sharply, scanning the vast emptiness around him.
The voice was there—soft, fleeting.
Familiar?
When he looked up, he saw the Nine-Tailed Fox approaching, dragging the shattered remnants of a colossal stone statue behind it.
Its arrogant expression made it seem as though it had achieved something truly extraordinary.
"Oi, this thing stopped moving, so I cut it into eight pieces," Kurama boasted.
If someone didn't know better, they might believe the fox had been the one doing the real work in this battle.
Still, its mood had improved. Nothing soothed the rage of a tailed beast like wholesale destruction.
Shin chuckled. "Fine, fine. You've earned a treat."
With a flick of his wrist, he used Yin-Yang Release to create an enormous roasted chicken leg, tossing it into Kurama's waiting maw.
"Oh? Hmph! As if I—Mmm! This is good!"
Kurama grumbled, but his teeth sank into the juicy meat with satisfaction, quickly settling into the ground to devour it.
Shin's gaze, however, remained locked on the battlefield.
The voice had vanished. But he had not imagined it.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki…"
The name rolled off his tongue like a prayer and a curse alike.
Even with his enhanced Byakugan, the depths of the moon eluded him. The core remained unseen, sealed away in eternal darkness.
Slowly, Shin descended to the barren landscape, lost in thought.
Kaguya was meant to be powerless, her might stripped, her existence caged.
Yet, even in her prison, her voice reached him?
Her abilities were beyond mortal comprehension. Among them—'All-Killing Ash Bones,' a power that defied life itself.
And then there were others…
Ame-no-Mikaboshi.
Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Each one an ability capable of rewriting reality itself.
A dangerous glint flickered in Shin's eyes.
Too many treasures remained locked away inside her.
And a sealed Kaguya, even at her peak, was vulnerable. If he couldn't kill her or claim her… he could still take what he needed.
Her genes. Her secrets. The key to unlocking a power no other had achieved.
His next objective became clear.
How to reach her prison. How to break the seal.
"The power of the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei is immense," he mused. "Even if I cannot extract her fully, studying it… could give me the ability to use it myself."
After all, this was the technique that had created the moon itself, that had sealed a goddess.
If he could master it—
Then he would hold the power of creation and destruction in his grasp.
The future of the Otsutsuki? Of the universe itself?
It would belong to him.
