In the space above the moon, Otsutsuki Kaishiki finally managed to steady himself, simultaneously calming the energy that had nearly run rampant within him. He was furious beyond measure.
He glanced at the corpses of his four subordinates floating in space and the still-coughing-up-blood forms of Otsutsuki Sekishi and the butler, his face darkening to an extreme. Clearly, he never expected that a backward civilization planet in this remote corner of the galaxy could harbor such a terrifyingly strong individual. A single move had actually taken out four of his servants and even injured him!
After the shock came overwhelming rage!
It was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, only to be wounded by a sheep. This was a monumental disgrace!
"Bastard!" Otsutsuki Kaishiki roared, wanting to charge back and fight Lín Xuán to the death.
However, his servant Otsutsuki Sekishi and the old butler, Otsutsuki Yamashiki, quickly stopped him.
"Butler Otsutsuki Yamashiki said, "Lord Kaishiki, please calm your anger! The enemy is treacherous; we cannot act recklessly!"
Otsutsuki Sekishi also hurriedly added, "That's right, Lord Kaishiki! The energy released by that person's attack... we found it difficult to absorb. It's very strange!"
Hearing their words, Otsutsuki Kaishiki calmed down slightly.
So his servants couldn't absorb that man's attack? No wonder they were defeated so miserably just now!
But everything had happened too fast, leaving them unable to analyze precisely why they couldn't absorb the energy from Lín Xuán's previous move.
Just as they were mired in confusion, Lín Xuán's voice once again echoed from the surface of the moon: "You aliens from outer space, are you all this shameless? You agreed to let me strike first, but then you all jumped in to block it together? Tsk tsk tsk..."
Hearing this, Otsutsuki Kaishiki's face turned ugly again. He said in a deep voice, "You lowly, inferior life form, I will make you regret your insolence!"
Then, he lunged towards Lín Xuán on the moon once more.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Yamashiki and Otsutsuki Sekishi were greatly alarmed.
Before they could try to dissuade him again, they heard Otsutsuki Kaishiki order them, "You two, assist me!"
Clearly, while enraged, he hadn't lost his head. Before flying back to the moon, he even absorbed the corpses of his four dead servants. To him, they were a source of energy, and being absorbed by him was their greatest honor!
Subsequently, Otsutsuki Kaishiki felt even more confident and swiftly returned to the moon.
Otsutsuki Yamashiki and the other naturally followed closely, arriving with him once again before Lín Xuán.
Lín Xuán raised an eyebrow, glanced at them, and said, "What now? Planning to gang up on me this time? Is this the so-called 'higher life form' behavior?"
Otsutsuki Kaishiki's face darkened, unsure how to respond.
His butler, Otsutsuki Yamashiki, sneered and said, "For Lord Kaishiki and us to personally take action to kill you is already the highest honor for a lowly being like you!"
To their surprise, after hearing Otsutsuki Yamashiki's words, Lín Xuán let out a soft sigh and said, "Well, in that case, there's no helping it. I originally intended to handle you all by myself. But since you want to play the numbers game, I can only repay you in kind."
Otsutsuki Kaishiki and the other two were puzzled: What did he mean?
As far as they could sense, the entire moon only had these few people present.
Their gazes had been locked on Lín Xuán, as they believed he was the only one among them who posed a real threat.
As for the Sage of Six Paths brothers, they had already lost to Sekishi and the others before. Orochimaru and Otsutsuki Toneri didn't possess much energy; they simply didn't regard them as threats.
Under these circumstances, they truly couldn't understand how Lín Xuán planned to repay them in kind.
Was he going to call for reinforcements from the nearby life-bearing planet?
In reality, the situation was far less complicated than they imagined.
After finishing his sentence, Lín Xuán simply looked at Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru, if you please."
Orochimaru immediately understood. His long tongue licked his lips as he looked at Otsutsuki Kaishiki and the others with a creepy grin. "No problem. I've been waiting for this moment!"
Otsutsuki Kaishiki and the others frowned, their gazes scrutinizing Orochimaru.
Their first thought was: Could they have misjudged? Did this snake-like man actually possess formidable power?
Before they could figure out the details, they suddenly saw Orochimaru swiftly unseal a scroll, releasing a large number of white Zetsu clones as sacrificial offerings.
"These are... White Zetsus?" Otsutsuki Kaishiki recognized the white creatures at a glance. Clearly, they were familiar with these special products of the Divine Tree.
"They actually cultivated so many White Zetsus? What exactly are they planning?" Otsutsuki Yamashiki exclaimed, his voice full of shock and suspicion.
Right at that moment—
"Edo Tensei!"
Before Otsutsuki Kaishiki and the others could react, Orochimaru swiftly formed hand signs. The pre-prepared technique formula beneath his feet instantly lit up.
Simultaneously, a system prompt sounded in Lín Xuán's mind:
Ding! Detected that the souls of the Edo Tensei subjects—Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, Tobirama Senju, Nagato...—are being summoned by the power of their original world. Should this be prevented?
"No!" Lín Xuán decisively chose to deny.
And so—
In the world of One Piece, members who had returned to the Ninja Guild, along with numerous other members scattered across the world, suddenly turned to dust and vanished before everyone's eyes. All that remained were the corpses of White Zetsus, which rapidly grew into trees!
This scene terrified the World Government agents monitoring them, as well as people from various pirate factions!
Especially the World Government personnel. Many had been responsible for surveillance before and witnessed the exact same phenomenon during the Summit War.
Witnessing it again now made their hearts leap into their throats.
"They... they disappeared again?!"
"This is exactly the same as during the Summit War!"
"This is bad! Could it be that Lín Xuán is about to start another war and summoned them back?"
"Gasp! If that's the case, then things are dire! Report to Headquarters immediately!"
In an instant, the World Government of the One Piece world, which had just begun to settle down after the Summit War, was thrown into chaos and panic once again.
However, their tension was for nothing this time, because Lín Xuán's summoning location wasn't in the One Piece world at all.
