Mysterious, but Naruto

At 2:59 p.m., Audrey adjusted her posture again and placed the diary she had collected in front of her to further reinforce her memory.

Sensing that time was approaching, Audrey instinctively turned her head, wanting to see where Louis had been.

But there's nothing there now.

Seeing no one, Audrey didn't know whether she should feel relieved or worried.

She worried that a clash would occur between Rokudo and the Fool, and that she would be caught in the crossfire during their battle. Yet, she also hoped that Rokudo could find a way to break the Fool's method of extracting her spirit from her body.

Before Audrey could think any further, a deep red light enveloped her.

Louis was standing a meter away from Audrey, but he had concealed his presence so that he was undetectable to ordinary people.

At this moment, Louis's eyes had switched to the red Rinne Sharingan, staring intently at the movement of the "deep red" light.

In his current vision, he could clearly see that the light had indeed pierced through space and appeared out of thin air around Audrey.

Then, the light used a subtle yet brutal and eerie method to extract Audrey's consciousness from her body, and was about to take her away with it the next moment.

Seeing that the other party was about to cross space again, just like when they came, Louis stopped watching.

While rapidly collecting data on the parameter changes caused by the other party traversing space, he was also quickly calculating the corresponding spatial coordinates in his mind.

Honestly, this was the first time Louis had realized that his brain could work so well when calculating these things.

In other words, he can't go back to the past; otherwise, with just this skill alone, he wouldn't have failed his physics exam back then.

The light disappeared at lightning speed, almost in the blink of an eye, but in the next instant, Louis had already calculated the coordinates where it would land.

Immediately afterwards, Louis disappeared from the room and appeared in a chaotic world filled with dazzling light spots.

?

Louis felt a sense of familiarity at first glance, as if he had seen a similar place before.

He immediately realized that his divine tree space was hidden right here, just in a different location.

Although streaks of light occasionally flashed across this space, Louis could pinpoint the red light where Audrey's consciousness resided without even looking.

This is because the other party also has a chakra mark on their mind.

Even though the red light had the ability to conceal his whereabouts and block information, it only weakened the connection between Louis and it, and could not sever it directly.

So Louis followed far behind the red light, arriving at their destination.

From afar, Louis noticed a large expanse of gray mist, within which he sensed a distorted force of spacetime.

This fog not only obscured Louis's vision but also severed his connection with the chakra mark.

Faced with this situation, Louis did not give up immediately. The lines in his eyes began to slowly rotate, and his abilities were further enhanced.

The mist before us possesses the power to distort spacetime, but Otsutsuki himself is also a master at manipulating spacetime.

As his eyes strained, the gray mist gradually ceased to obstruct his vision.

"ah--"

As the gray fog completely disappeared from his sight, Louis saw a portal tinged with a bluish-black hue.

The moment Louis saw the gate of light, he felt some information enter his brain through his gaze.

Therefore, he wanted to see more, and as his vision magnified, his observation of the light gate became increasingly detailed.

He then discovered that the gate of light was actually composed of countless layers of light spheres, each of which was itself a bunch of twisted worms huddled together. Some of these worms were transparent, while others were semi-transparent, and they carried symbols and patterns that were either complex and difficult to describe or had profound symbolic meaning.

A flood of information poured into Louis's mind like a burst dam.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The problem is that the sluice gate was opened at the bottom, and a large amount of silt and garbage surged out under tremendous pressure.

These chaotic things instantly threw Louis into a daze.

At the same time, his physical body began to change. What was once a complete person was now like an over-dried cookie, crumbling without being touched.

In just a few moments, Louis was about to completely collapse and turn into a pile of fragments.

No, it's not crumbling, it's insects falling down, just as the foundation of that light gate is made up of three different types of worms.

Louis is now in a similar situation, gradually collapsing into three worms from the outside in.

At first, Louis's body simply collapsed into a worm, while his consciousness was immersed in that vast and chaotic knowledge.

Later, even Louis's consciousness collapsed into worms in his unconsciousness.

Just when it seemed that Louis was about to completely collapse, both physically and mentally.

Several black lines suddenly appeared on its remaining body.

These patterns spread very quickly, from their initial appearance to covering Louis's entire body, so much so that even if you stared at them for a long time, you couldn't tell exactly when they appeared.

It was from the moment these patterns appeared that Louis stopped collapsing.

Moreover, as the patterns spread, the parts that had collapsed and turned into worms were forcibly restored to their original state by some force and flew back to Louis's body.

Louis was as if someone had pressed the reverse button, and he returned from a bunch of worms to his original human form.

"Well……"

In the instant he was fully restored, the markings on Louis's body disappeared completely.

Louis, however, was still in a daze and hadn't even realized what had happened.

After about three to five seconds, Louis shuddered.

"Holy crap, this isn't a normal world, it's a Cthulhu... cough cough, it's a Cthulhu-centric world!"

Louis was about to say Cthulhu, but worried that such a being might actually exist, he immediately changed his wording.

"No, what kind of good person would travel to this kind of world?"

I was wondering how one could become extraordinary, by drinking a magic potion, and even then, there was a possibility of losing control.

It wasn't a loss of control after all; it was corrupted by the Old Ones, Outer Gods, or their retinue.

Louis reached out and felt around his arms and legs for a while, and only after confirming that he hadn't turned into an insect and was still his original form did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But then he remembered something else.

"Wait a minute, if this world is a world of the Kryptonian system, then does that mean we can't grow the Divine Tree?"

The consciousness of the divine tree was originally chaotic. Don't go back and eat the fruit of this world, and then turn from a fool into a madman!

Oh, I know. That explains why I felt there was a man-made seal at the location of the Divine Tree Space.

It might be used to seal R'lyeh...

Louis then blinked again: "Wait a minute, this world has seven true gods. If it's a Kree world, who are these seven?"

It can't be that Nyarlathotep created all of them as incarnations just for fun.

It doesn't seem impossible...

Louis glanced at the portal out of the corner of his eye with lingering fear, only to find it had turned back into a gray mist in his eyes.

"No, this world shouldn't be that simple, or rather, it's not just a Crypt Lord world, it could be a variant of the Crypt Lord world..."

Louis said this because, in that short period of time, he gradually sorted out some of the information that had flooded into his brain.

He discovered that it was not entirely chaotic and disordered; there was actually a broad road within it that could elevate one from an ordinary life to a divine one.

Louis recalled that when he looked directly at the gate of light, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

For example, decorative silk threads hung down from the huge gate of light, with small decorative balls attached to the ends of the threads.

At the time, my mind was already clouded, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now, thinking back carefully, it seems like there are human figures in each of those little decorative balls.

It was just that Louis's attention was entirely focused on the gate of light at the time, and he did not observe the little figures.

Besides the decorations hanging on the door, there seemed to be a small house in the gray mist some distance in front of the door. It was there that he seemed to have sensed Audrey's chakra mark.

Louis looked around at the chaos, closed his eyes to sense the spacetime coordinates, and then reappeared in Audrey's room.

While the other person was still unconscious, Louis sat there organizing the information in his mind.

"Fool, mistake, door, three paths to godhood. What was the name of the person who organized the meeting that Audrey mentioned before?"

That's right, it's the 'Fool'. It seems that the other party is very likely... no, the other party should not have become a god yet.

Otherwise, the other party should have control over the portal and be able to manipulate it.

But judging from what I saw before, it seemed that the other party could only borrow its power.

In other words, the other party has not yet become a god, but is merely on the path to godhood.

However, considering that the other party was able to borrow the power of that gray mist, their level should not be low, at least a Sequence 2 Miracle Master.

I remember Audrey saying that Rosell created a deck of cards that contained 22 paths to godhood, and she must have seen them using a similar method to mine.

So, although that time-traveling predecessor ultimately failed to become a god, he wasn't exactly a complete failure.

Louis casually tore open a spatial rift in front of him, revealing his study on the other side.

Louis picked up a blank notebook at random and wrote down the three paths to godhood he had learned.

Of course, Louis obtained far more information from the portal than that.

For example, Louis learned that the place he had been in before was actually the spirit world, a spontaneously compressed collection of all knowledge, information, and spirits from the past, future, and present—a database of information for the entire world.

Aside from this easily accessible information, what remains are actually the rules governing the operation of this world.

These operating rules correspond precisely to the respective authorities of the three deities: the Fool, the Error, and the Gate.

It was at this time that Louis learned of the special nature of the gods in this world.

It's important to know that gods also exist in the Naruto world, such as the Grim Reaper, the King of Hell, and evil gods.

When the Otsutsuki clan planted trees in the universe, they saw even more trees, but their ultimate fate was to be killed or fed to the divine tree.

But now that he has seen this information, Louis understands the difference between the gods of the two worlds.

First of all, the gods in the Naruto world are native gods confined to a single planet, and their power is limited to that planet.

But the gods of this world are gods shared by the entire universe, and each one is a unique being.

Naturally, the gods of the two worlds are vastly different in terms of power and authority.

Having learned of the rarity and prestige of the gods, Louis now began to doubt the identities of the seven deities.

Are they truly seven deities, or higher-order beings subordinate to the deities?

After all, this is just a small planet. How could it possibly have gathered seven cosmic giants all at once?

-----------------

The moment Audrey's vision was filled with the "crimson" light, she once again felt her consciousness slipping away.

However, this time was slightly different from the previous two times in that she was more conscious than before.

Although it was still unable to resist, and in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared in that magnificent palace.

In the center of the palace stands a weathered and ancient bronze table.

The two ends of the long table are the highest and lowest seats, while there are ten seats on each side.

The Fool naturally sat at the head of the long table, while Audrey, the lady codenamed "Justice," was sitting in the first seat to the Fool's left.

As for the first position to the right of the Fool, it belongs to the man nicknamed the Hanged Man.

Mr. Fool, who was at the head of the table, noticed a slight change in the bronze chair behind Audrey.

The high-backed chair, which originally had a dazzling star map on its back, was now moving at a rapid pace.

But no matter how those stars are combined, they cannot form a clear pattern.

Mr. Fool suddenly noticed that the gray fog seemed to tremble collectively, and this discovery made him look up and look around.

But nothing happened around her; only behind the chair where Audrey sat, the stars formed an illusory constellation that did not belong to reality.

It was a huge tree with only a trunk and no branches, which greatly surprised the Fool, because he could not find the meaning of the symbol in his knowledge.

However, he remained calm and did not show his surprise.

However, his actions today were much more numerous than the previous two times. First, he looked up and gazed around, and now he was deep in thought, both of which made Audrey, who was present, very worried.

She was now very worried that perhaps Mr. Rokudo's actions had been noticed by the Fool in front of her.

If the two were to clash directly, regardless of what the Hanged Man on the other side might do, she felt that she probably wouldn't have a good outcome.
