Holding a black tin staff, his skin was pale, and he wore a long white robe. His face was covered in wrinkles, his beard was long, and a pair of small horns grew from his forehead. Three eyes rested on his face: a pair of Rinnegan, and a blood-red eye on his forehead, similar to a Sharingan, but with a rippling pattern that fanned out like the Rinnegan.
Seeing such an appearance, Lexon instantly recognized the newcomer's identity.
A figure from the legends of this world... the Sage of Six Paths.
"You cannot go and release the seal..." the Sage of Six Paths said to Lexon and Black Zetsu as soon as he appeared.
"You want to stop us? Hagoromo... you really won't stay quiet even after death." Black Zetsu was clearly dismissive of the Sage of Six Paths' words.
"The final child born of Mother... my brother..." The Sage of Six Paths recited Black Zetsu's identity upon seeing him.
"Who is your brother? Stop disgusting me. I don't have a brother who would seal his own mother," Black Zetsu mocked.
The Sage of Six Paths frowned slightly, knowing that this individual was already an embodiment of his mother's will and that persuasion was useless. He then turned his gaze to Lexon and said in an aged voice, "What you want to unseal is my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. She is the source of all chakra, but she is also a disaster for the ninja world. Once released, she will kill everyone for power."
With that, the Sage of Six Paths stopped speaking, seemingly believing that he had said enough.
A normal person would understand and immediately stop the thought of unsealing Kaguya Otsutsuki.
But...
"And?" Lexon said with a faint smile on his face as he looked at the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths' brow furrowed even deeper.
'Does he still intend to continue?'
'Is he bewitched by Mother's final child... or is he just that kind of person?'
"Not bad, not bad, Uchiha Lexon..." Black Zetsu was quite happy that his ally on the united front had not defected.
Truthfully, he had been somewhat worried that Uchiha Lexon might abandon him.
Without Lexon's immense strength, he alone wouldn't even be able to get past Hamura's descendants on the moon, let alone handle the unsealing.
Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Lexon glanced at him with an inscrutable look.
"Since you persist in your delusions, do not blame me..." The Sage of Six Paths realized that both had made up their minds. He spoke in a heavy voice while waving his tin staff.
Space seemed to fluctuate slightly along the path traced by the tin staff in his hand.
Next, Lexon and Black Zetsu were faintly stripped away from the physical world and arrived in a new space.
The Sage of Six Paths was not a cruel person, so he naturally avoided places where living people still existed to prevent them from being caught in the crossfire.
"So you plan to take advantage of my vulnerability?" Lexon asked the Sage of Six Paths with a smile.
Anyone could see that the Sage of Six Paths had seized the moment when Lexon had just finished using Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth to arrive here.
It was to ensure a certain victory while Lexon was weakened.
"Ah... though this old man does not want to do this, for the sake of the living beings in this world, I have no choice," the Sage of Six Paths said without evasion, his purpose appearing awe-inspiringly righteous.
Though he could not see any sign of weakness in the person before him, the cost of performing a technique that reverses life and death was undoubtedly massive. Therefore, he couldn't be without damage.
So the Sage of Six Paths planned to strike now.
In fact, the truth was exactly as the Sage of Six Paths thought.
The consumption from performing Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth was indeed huge. Even though Lexon used his Demon Transformation life force to offset the vitality required for the technique... the consumption of Lexon's stamina was still immense.
After all, Lexon was exchanging stamina for life force.
So at this moment, his stamina was only half of its original amount.
However... stamina was not the main factor affecting combat power.
Lexon thought this while looking at the Sage of Six Paths.
[Demon Transformation]
[Sage Mode]
[Six Paths Mode]
[Eight Inner Gates]
[Gate of Death]
In Lexon's heart, the names fell one by one.
Instantly, an aura that seemed to surpass everything exploded from Lexon's body.
Lexon, now looking completely different, looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a faint smile and said gently, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Under the pressure of this aura, the Sage of Six Paths' expression could not help but change.
"..." Facing Lexon's provocative question, the Sage of Six Paths did not respond.
The meaning was already obvious.
He had conceded.
Because he felt that he was completely no match for the opponent.
Subsequently, the Sage of Six Paths looked at Lexon deeply and said heavily, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I know," Lexon replied with a smile.
Lexon was clearer about his own actions than anyone else.
"Letting my mother Kaguya Otsutsuki be unsealed will..."
"I'll say it again: so?"
The Sage of Six Paths was interrupted by Lexon before he could finish.
The Sage of Six Paths fell silent instantly, gazing at Lexon with a complex look.
After a long time, he said, "There is no trace of your existence in this world... you are an outsider..."
Oh?
Lexon was instantly interested.
This was not the first time he had heard such a statement; he had heard similar words from the White Snake Sage last time.
"How can you tell?" Lexon asked with great interest.
"Though it is veiled, a sense of dissonance will still appear before those whose understanding of the world has reached a certain level," the Sage of Six Paths said slowly.
"Interesting..." Lexon murmured.
This was indeed an interesting piece of information.
From this, he could tell that the Main God's integration of Reincarnators into the world was not absolute.
This also meant that he would have to be more careful when arriving in some worlds in the future.
Otherwise, the ceiling-level characters of a story world could easily learn of a Reincarnator's outsider status and make advance arrangements, making it difficult for the Reincarnator to move forward.
"Are you like my mother?" After briefly answering Lexon's question, the Sage of Six Paths asked in return.
Someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki?
With a slight shift in his thinking, Lexon knew what the Sage of Six Paths was talking about.
He suspected that Lexon was a member of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Coming here to rescue Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was also of the Otsutsuki Clan.
"I am not." Because the Sage of Six Paths had at least answered a point for him, Lexon responded directly.
"Then why..." The Sage of Six Paths was still fixated on Lexon's purpose for unsealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, wanting to ask more and use words to dissuade him.
"I am not here to talk nonsense with you now," Lexon said to the Sage of Six Paths indifferently, showing no courtesy at all.
"Speak... do you plan to stop me... or move aside?"
A choice between two options was placed before the Sage of Six Paths.
Silence again.
The Sage of Six Paths said no more. After giving Lexon a few deep looks, he waved his tin staff and sent Lexon and Black Zetsu back to the physical world.
His perception told him that if he clashed with that guy right now, he would definitely die again.
The kind where his soul would be completely dissipated.
So the Sage of Six Paths could only choose to compromise.
And then go and prepare for the confrontation after his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was resurrected.
