Lin Yu took the lead, supported by Tobirama Senju, who excelled in the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Minato Namikaze. Together with Izuna Uchiha, they instantly set up an enhanced version of the Spatial Hole Ancient Summoning Array, intending to banish Kaguya Otsutsuki to an unknown abyss.
Despite catching Kaguya off guard and blasting her into the Spatial Hole, they never anticipated that the terrifying suction force generated by the Spatial Hole could be so easily resisted by Kaguya. She even tore through the Spatial Hole's passage, on the verge of returning immediately.
"Greel Mineral Vein Crystal!"
Orochimaru, who was engaged in a fierce battle with other Otsutsuki members in the distance, roared at Lin Yu. He paid no heed to his own mangled body. He and Jiraiya were buying them time with their lives.
Orochimaru, a selfish scientist, would stop at nothing for power, eternal life, or the pursuit of science. Betrayal and backstabbing were child's play to him.
But this time, he chose to stand with the ninja world. Not for any other reason than that he was also a part of the ninja world. Not for any other reason than that he couldn't bear to see the idiot Jiraiya die. Jiraiya hadn't settled the score for peeking at him last time, and if someone was going to die, it had to be by Orochimaru's hand!
Detonate the Greel Mineral Vein Crystal!
Lin Yu instantly understood Orochimaru's intention. The Spatial Hole was originally created to prevent the Greel Mineral Vein from rioting, and according to Lin Yu's knowledge, if the Greel Mineral Vein were to erupt, it would affect more than half of the continent, the power of which was unimaginable.
"Kaguya!"
With no time to consider the consequences of detonating the Greel crystal, Kaguya's upper body had already emerged from the Spatial Hole. There was no turning back now.
Lin Yu's figure flickered, and a massive blue crystal suspended in his hand. Even after absorbing a tremendous amount of chakra from everyone, the crystal had only shrunk slightly. The chakra it contained was immeasurable.
On the other side, upon hearing Lin Yu's call, Kaguya quickly repelled two Otsutsuki members and used Yomotsu Hirasaka to disengage from the fight. The meridians around her eyes bulged, and her Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on her forehead opened, locking onto everyone in the ninja world.
Having spent so much time together, their tacit understanding, if not telepathic, was certainly deeply intertwined. A single glance was enough to understand each other's intentions.
Lin Yu hurled the Greel crystal fiercely at Kaguya and unleashed a dark blade attack. Fearing that it wasn't powerful enough, he also affixed a Mutually Amplifying Explosive Tag to the crystal's surface.
Kaguya had already torn open more than half of the Spatial Hole's opening, with most of her body emerging. However, as if sensing something, a massive blue crystal appeared above her head, dazzling and colorful!
"Explode!"
Boom!
A blinding white light flashed and vanished in the alternate dimension, followed by unimaginable ripples that swept through the entire dimension, and a colossal mushroom cloud obscured the sky.
The Otsutsuki members within the blast radius looked grim, but the shockwave alone wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Their various Rinnegan swirled, and spatial portals opened, but the ripple effect caused by the Greel crystal's explosion disrupted space, making the teleportation gates extremely unstable.
"Open!"
The Ancestor Otsutsuki, with a grim expression, stabilized a spatial portal and, just as the shockwave arrived, drilled through the portal, leaving the alternate dimension. The other Otsutsuki members followed suit.
After a long while, the tremors in the alternate dimension gradually subsided. Lin Yu's figure appeared in the sky, his complexion slightly pale.
As one of the closest to the epicenter of the explosion, Lin Yu could clearly feel the power unleashed by the detonation of the Greel crystal. Without exaggeration, the residual shockwave alone could have pulverized his body into dust.
However, it wasn't enough to kill him, given his possession of the Space-Time Eyes.
The epicenter of the explosion had become a void, not only due to the blast but also because the Spatial Hole had swallowed everything. This was also the reason why the blast radius wasn't very large.
The Spatial Hole had even consumed the explosion of the Greel crystal.
The alternate dimension was in ruins. The explosion's epicenter seemed to still have spatial rifts. Apart from Lin Yu, the entire dimension was empty and eerily silent.
Whoosh!
A group of ninjas suddenly appeared not far away. They were the ones Kaguya had transferred to the Soul Realm space using Amenominaka.
"Did it succeed?"
Tobirama Senju looked at the void before him and couldn't help but speak.
At this moment, a black and red spatial portal materialized. The Ancestor Otsutsuki emerged with over a dozen others, his brow furrowed as he repeatedly glanced at the area of emptiness.
Tear!
Suddenly, the void space cracked open, and a twisted, heavily scarred human hand "slapped" onto the spatial membrane.
A faint gasp reached everyone's ears. Lin Yu's expression turned grim. Had even this failed to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki?
The Ancestor Otsutsuki's eyes narrowed. He then led the other Otsutsuki members towards the crack.
"How did you end up like this?"
Hearing the Ancestor Otsutsuki's seemingly mocking tone, Kaguya displayed a human emotion for the first time, his eyes filled with immense rage.
He, injured by a mere bunch of native ants, was unforgivable!
At this moment, Kaguya's body was unnaturally contorted, with no part of him intact. This was due to the spatial distortion caused by the explosion.
Space and time were top-tier powers, no matter where they were.
As if sensing something, Kaguya glanced at the Otsutsuki members surrounding him, grinned, and reached out to pat the Ancestor Otsutsuki's back.
"I sense killing intent from you. You wish to devour me?"
The Ancestor Otsutsuki's expression remained calm. He had indeed entertained the thought. Devouring Kaguya would be far more beneficial than a Divine Tree fruit, potentially allowing two Otsutsuki members to ascend. However, for now, he needed Kaguya to deal with the ninja world. He...
Thwack!
A hand pierced through the Ancestor Otsutsuki's heart. Furthermore, his spiritual power was simultaneously shattered by an inexplicable force. Kaguya whispered into his ear, "My reflexes can easily detect your killing intent. Rather than infighting among our own kind, why not let me advance further!"
