Black Zetsu could have been sucked dry, so he had to be thrown away.
—Mother!
The weakened Black Zetsu, caught up by Kaguya's power, flew out of the Area of Dead Silence and, like a lump of mud, collapsed to the ground.
He struggled up and stared at the blurry darkness. From there, he could only make out a vague, blurred silhouette—the silhouette of his Mother.
Leave?
"Mother's last wish is for me to leave? Is she afraid that I'll get hurt in battle?"
Black Zetsu couldn't help but think, but the next moment, he saw a blurry silhouette rushing towards him in a panic.
"Oh heavens, how could such a monster appear in this world!
"The blood of the Divine Tree cannot have such power!
Inside the Area of Dead Silence, Ootsutsuki Kaguya immediately took flight after throwing out the Black Zetsu.
— If the Sharingan wielders had such terrifying power, why would the Ootsutsuki clan need to plant trees all over the universe?!
— And then what were all the sacrifices made by our subsidiary branch over the years worth!
Ootsutsuki Kaguya had some understanding of the Shinobi world. She knew that this Uchiha Yue was not a native of the area, but a monster, a monster that defied common sense and should not exist.
He absorbed everything: chakra, solar energy, and even kinetic energy. The absorption itself was not something out of the ordinary - the Divine Tree of the Ootsutsuki clan could also absorb various types of energy.
The problem was that he could absorb endlessly, turning the resulting power into fuel for his own growth. That was truly absurd and incomprehensible. Any energy, no matter how insignificant it seemed, with the prefix "infinity" became something unimaginable, beyond comprehension.
This was Uchiha Yue. If he didn't have this transcendent ability to grow and expand, his strength, in truth, would be nothing. The Shinobi of this world would have killed him countless times, and if he had faced a stronger opponent, the level of the Sage of the Six Paths, he would simply have been crushed like a bug.
When your power is constant and does not grow, you will never be able to threaten truly powerful beings.
But the ability to grow changed everything. Even if the opponent could kill him with one blow, so what? The more often he was killed, the stronger he became. It's like quicksand: at first it seems like nothing terrible, it's easy to get out, but once you get really bogged down, you're lost.
Ootsutsuki Kaguya really couldn't understand how such a monster could appear in the Shinobi world!
She wanted to fight, destroy this monster, even take his invincible eyes and go to war with them on the Ootsutsuki clan. But the problem was her current condition. If she were in the prime of her life, she might have risked competing with Uchiha Yue. What if she had won?
Even if not, it was always possible to escape.
But now what?
Due to Obito Uchiha wasting too much strength in her, she was reborn incredibly weak. So much so that I couldn't even share my energy with the Black Zetsu to keep it alive—I just had to throw it away.
Right now, her own power continued to drain away. She felt that if she stayed in this hell any longer, she would really die.
And this will not be the former imaginary death, but the real, final one, along with the death of the Divine Tree itself. What an irony: The Divine Tree, a master of absorbing chakra and life force, runs the risk of dying from having all the energy drained from it. What is this, if not a mockery of fate?
"Mother, you... you…
Looking at Ootsutsuki Kaguya trying to escape from the Area of Dead Silence, Black Zetsu froze in amazement. In his mind, Mother had always been invincible. But now this invincible Mother, like a beaten dog, was running for her life.
The myth of her omnipotence collapsed in his eyes.
— How so…
"No," I said.… Damn you, Obito!!!
"If it weren't for you, Mother would never have been in this position!"
Black Zetsu understood everything instantly. The reason his invincible Mother had come to this point was because of that stupid Uchiha Obito. The latter did not listen to him, stubbornly rushed to certain death, allowing Uchiha Yue to absorb a huge amount of energy from the Divine Tree.
As a result, his Mother was reborn in an unprecedented weakened state. If she had been at full strength, she would certainly have destroyed Uchiha Yue.
However, when Ootsutsuki Kaguya had already reached the border of the Region of Dead Silence, feeling her body fail and her strength almost run out, but salvation was so close.…
Chains like giant snakes roared out from the depths of the Region of Dead Silence and clung tightly to Ootsutsuki Kaguya's body. At that moment, one of her hands was already beyond the darkness, another second and she would have broken free.
— no! Mother!!!
Black Zetsu's mournful cry rang out. At the very last moment, his Mother was dragged away by those chains back into the depths of the Dead Silence Region and disappeared from sight almost instantly.
He collapsed to the ground in despair, staring glassy-eyed into that darkness.
Just a little more…
It only took her a moment to escape.…
— Why?! Why!!! After all, there was only one step left! Damn Uchiha Yue, damn Uchiha Obito, damn the world! Ah-ah-ah!!!
Black Zetsu screamed in grief and anger. He had never felt such pain and hopelessness before. He had made plans for so many years, waited for so long, and finally revived his Mother. But their meeting was so short, and now she was gone again!
And this time, it may never be possible to get her back.
Even a resurrection needs at least some grounds. Previously, it was possible because his Mother did not die, but was sealed. It could be said that as long as the Divine Tree existed, Kaguya could not truly die. But now what?
There was a hell where no energy could exist. Even the Divine Tree, the source of the Mangekye Sharingan, couldn't resist this creepy, abnormal absorption ability.
Even if they manage to destroy Uchiha Yue and dispel this darkness in the future, so what?
The Divine Tree was completely devoid of energy and vitality. It's completely dead.
— No, it can't be. Mother is so strong, she will definitely kill Uchiha Yue and save this world! She's not going to die, she's not going to die! Black Zetsu whispered.
