I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 420 Since you've become the prey, you must do it to the best of your ability.

The best hunters often appear as the prey.

Uchiha Yu was prepared to carry out this plan this time. He would disguise himself as a prey who feared Otsutsuki Shibakai, lure this threatening guy over, and then turn the tables and kill him in one fell swoop.

Uchiha Yura 1 will not blindly devour Him, making it more difficult for herself to completely ascend, but she will definitely not let Him go either.

After all, Miwa Masayo has not yet completed her ascension. As the Nine-Tailed Cat Sage, she does not need to fight against the laws like Uchiha Yu. Instead, she needs sufficient nutrients to nourish her bloodline in order to grow smoothly.

Although Uchiha Yu didn't know Otsutsuki Shibai's condition, he intuitively felt that this guy was very suitable as nourishment for the Nine-Tailed Cat Sage.

[After Miwa Masayo absorbed the sustenance from Otsutsuki Shibai, I spared his life, allowing him to continue living in this world. This can also be considered as repaying the karmic debt for helping me attain enlightenment.]

[That way, all you need to do during battle is be careful not to accidentally kill it.]

I'm so smart. People should follow the rules, but they shouldn't follow them so rigidly.

Disguising yourself as prey requires convincing imitation; you absolutely cannot foolishly wait for your perceived enemy, who thinks they are the hunter, to attack.

In order to achieve the desired deception, Uchiha Yu decided to take the initiative and wipe out the Otsutsuki who had received orders to rush to the New World, thus repaying the debt he owed to the world during his tribulation by defending against external enemies.

……

Two streaks of light were moving at high speed in the cold, vast void of the universe; these were Momoshiki and Kinshiki, traveling on their way.

Upon receiving orders from their home planet, the Otsutsuki, accustomed to their freedom, typically do not respond immediately, much less abandon their own affairs and set off right away.

This is the slowing effect brought about by the long-term concept of time held by immortal beings.

However, Momoshiki, who was wandering nearby, did not have a specific destination. He would only turn around and head to the world where Kaguya Otsutsuki was after receiving orders.

Completing this mission will not only grant you the rewards of this planet, but also allow you to seize the world that originally belonged to Isshiki Otsutsuki and claim it for yourself.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki was even worried that other members of his clan would get ahead, so he deliberately increased his speed to the maximum, even at the cost of sacrificing some of his fighting strength.

The command showed that Isshiki Otsutsuki, that idiot, had actually been killed by the guardian Kaguya Otsutsuki. While Kinshiki was mocking Isshiki for being an idiot, he also felt more relieved.

The mission target is merely a guardian, a rare female, and a support-type member of the tribe with noticeably weaker combat abilities.

What's so scary about that?

Even if she occupied a divine tree and might have eaten a chakra fruit, Momoshiki wouldn't even notice her.

It's as if no one has ever eaten it before.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki suddenly exclaimed "Eh!", which caught Momoshiki Otsutsuki's attention.

He knew that his guardian was very silent and usually seemed rather slow-witted, but he possessed a keen sense of perception that even he found astonishing.

Out of caution, Momoshiki asked, "What's wrong?"

Kinshiki Otsutsuki replied in a simple-minded manner, "Lord Momoshiki, I feel like our trajectory has been distorted."

"distortion?"

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki muttered to himself in confusion, but his expression completely changed the next instant.

A completely unfamiliar yet exceptionally grand and far-reaching voice resounded in his ears:

"I said everything will move slowly."

Momoshiki and Kinshiki instantly broke free from their flowing light state.

The two Otsutsuki were utterly shocked, their faces contorted in horror.

The Flowing Light state is the Otsutsuki clan's travel mode, and it's not easy to enter; it often requires several months of continuous acceleration.

Similarly, it's not easy for the Otsutsuki to escape their Radiant state; they need at least ten days of deceleration.

But now it has been released instantly, without even taking a second.

Before the two Otsutsuki could recover from their shock, a loud voice rang out in succession:

"I said, all destinations will eventually end beside me."

Before Momoshiki and Kinshiki could recover from their shock, they were stunned into silence by the new changes.

They suddenly arrived in a new world from the emptiness of space, suffering from the pressure of atmospheric pressure.

Then they heard an incredibly clear laugh.

Masayo Miwa looked at the Otsutsuki who had suddenly appeared in front of him and laughed happily.

"Hehe, this is so much fun."

"I only need to say three sentences to capture them, that's too easy, meow."

Uchiha Yu smiled indulgently: "It's not that simple. Your three sentences were too grandiose, affecting my laws of time, space, cause and effect, and destiny. That's how I barely managed to achieve it."

"Especially the law of fate, even I feel it's a huge burden. I shouldn't say things like 'it's destined' to enemies who are too far away or too strong in the future."

"If things go wrong, the backlash from fate can be very troublesome."

Masayo Miwa's smile remained unchanged: "I know, meow, but this is really fun, meow."

Uchiha Yu nodded helplessly: "My Rika-chan..."

While Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo were talking, Otsutsuki Momoshiki had recovered from the huge speed change and spatial distortion.

However, they have also realized that the enemy is not Kaguya Otsutsuki as they had imagined, but a completely unfamiliar, terrifying, and powerful being.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki was very proud of his identity and power, and always looked down on and despised native humans who were not Otsutsuki. However, after seeing Yuu Uchiha, he couldn't understand what kind of existence the other party had.

On the contrary, he saw through Miwa Masayo's situation and knew clearly that the little girl was a powerful being that he could not defeat.

Comparing Miwa Masayo's attitude towards Uchiha Yu, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki was horrified to discover that Uchiha Yu must be a powerful being beyond his comprehension.

escape!

Momoshiki Otsutsuki didn't dare to hope to defeat the enemy; he only hoped that his desperate struggle would allow him to escape from their clutches.

He looked at Kinshiki Otsutsuki: "A medicinal pill!"

Without hesitation, Jin Shi waved his hand, ready to commit suicide, turning all his power into a pill to dedicate to his protector.

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo both saw their actions. Miwa Masayo smiled, pointed at them, and said sweetly:

"I say, my enemies will be imprisoned!"

As Miwa Masayo's voice rang out, a wave of law fluctuations emanated from Uchiha Yu that only he could perceive.

The essence of the law is information, and the speed at which it is activated and spreads is naturally the ultimate speed of the world, namely the speed of light.

What's even more terrifying is that both Otsutsuki heard Masayo Miwa's speech clearly, but they didn't realize the passage of time.

When their time began to flow again, an indescribable, immense pressure appeared and enveloped them. The two Otsutsuki were pitifully trapped, like insects in amber, unable to struggle against their fate.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki, the mastermind behind this operation, possessed the power to destroy a world, but he didn't even have time to utter a "no" before being suppressed and sealed by Masayo Miwa, who was attempting to manipulate the laws of nature.

Like helpless insects, they were sealed away by Miwa Masayo's descriptions, one by one, under the smiling gaze of Uchiha Yu.

After Momoshiki and Kinshiki were sealed away, Uchiha Yu did not spare their lives.

When Miwa Masayo had had his fill of playing, he reached into the seal and pulled out the two Otsutsuki Karma seals, casually crushing their bodies and breaking them down into the most basic pure chakra.

Uchiha Yu divided his chakra into two parts, scattering one part directly into the world to increase its foundation as compensation for the destruction.

The other part was combined by him to form a technique that mixed the life information of the two Otsutsuki. The core of this technique was the two Otsutsuki wedges, and its function was to decompose the wedges, extract the core characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan, and then launch them.

Such information broadcasts can be received by all Otsutsuki members, and can also be heard by Otsutsuki Shibayo, producing different effects respectively.

For ordinary Otsutsuki members, they would know that an unexpected and dangerous person had appeared in the world where Otsutsuki Kaguya lived, and that Otsutsuki Momoshiki could be killed with ease.

They will certainly reconsider the danger level of this mission, and the vast majority will choose to abandon it.

Uchiha Yuu No. 4 had no doubt about his judgment of the Otsutsuki, because every immortal would make the same choice.

Unless there is a powerful being that the immortal Otsutsuki fear, such as Otsutsuki Shibakai, who stands behind them and gives orders directly from their face.

Only when the Otsutsuki clan members have to choose between being killed immediately by the Otsutsuki King or waiting for a period of time to fight the enemy and die will they bravely charge towards Uchiha Yu.

But Uchiha Yu believed that as long as those Otsutsuki weren't stupid, they wouldn't give Otsutsuki Shibai a chance to see him.

They would immediately distance themselves, as far away as possible from their king, so far that they could not hear his commands at all, and then wait for the outcome of the battle in some corner of deep space.

At the same time, Uchiha Yu was also certain that after his broadcast was heard by Otsutsuki Shibaki, he would be able to discover the underlying cowardice hidden beneath the arrogant display.

Uchiha Yu hoped that his performance would change Otsutsuki Shibai's attitude, dispel his cautious wait-and-see approach, and thus allow him to launch the war he desired as soon as possible.

He really didn't want to stay in this time and space any longer.

Masase Miwa asked, half worried and half curious, "Is it really that uncomfortable, meow?"

Uchiha Yu was stunned. His expression suddenly turned extremely ferocious, and his face instantly turned red, as if he had been punched hard in the stomach.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled and said with lingering fear, "Rika-chan, why did you suddenly say that? It really hit a nerve."

"If I hadn't been able to hold back, I don't know how much more I would have accumulated in guilt."

Miwa Masase was terrified and asked cautiously, "Yu, don't scare me, is it really that serious, meow?"

Uchiha Yu chuckled: "Rika-chan, have you ever seen the Aburame clan's insect boxes?"

The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've seen it. It's an exquisitely decorated aquascape in a glass fish tank. It looks very beautiful, but it has some strange-looking insects."

Uchiha Yu asked, "Have you ever tried sticking your head inside the insect box to observe the insects closely at the closest possible distance?"

Masase Miwa shook his head and said, "No, no, who would be so bored as to do such a strange thing? It would be dangerous if I got stung by a bug, meow."

Uchiha Yu said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I've done it before."

"When I put my head into the insect box, I feel extremely suffocated. The air in the small insect box is limited and not enough for me to breathe, so I can only hold my breath and slowly inhale with the slightest movement."

"I have to exhale slowly so as not to blow away those orderly insects, and I dare not sneeze or cough, otherwise I will kill those fragile little insects."

Miwa Masayo understood. Uchiha Yu was using the insect box as a metaphor for the world. As a super life form that had already ascended to a higher dimension, he was now like a human sticking his head into the insect box, and one careless move could cause great destruction.

In the worst-case scenario, he might even knock over the bug box, causing the destruction of the entire world.

Miwa Masayo was terrified by his partner's words; the color drained from his face, turning him as white as paper.

She wasn't worried about her own safety at all; she believed that Uchiha Yu could save her. What she feared was that she had almost caused her partner to destroy the world.

During his previous tribulation, he caused considerable damage to the world, leaving Uchiha Yu with a huge debt that he can only stay in this time and space, struggling to repay.

If this destroys the entire world in this timeline, how miserable will Uchiha Yu be?

Uchiha Yu sensed Miwa Masayo's worry and burst into laughter. Then, he blushed again and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

He said, half-laughing and half-crying, "My God, being made to laugh is more terrifying than having your heart stabbed; it's so hard to calm down."

"Rinka-chan, do you really want me to destroy this world?!"

Seeing Uchiha Yu's reaction, Miwa Masayo realized that things might not be as serious as he thought.

She relaxed, smiled, and asked, "Where exactly did I go wrong?"

Uchiha Yu said, "There's only one thing you're wrong about."

"I am here to protect the world, to compensate it with the chakra of my spoils, because I truly owe this world a debt that I must repay!"

"The problem is that what drove me to repay my debts before was the will of Heaven. If I didn't pay them off, it would lock me up and prevent me from leaving."

"But now I have seen Otsutsuki Shibai. By learning from Him, I have completed the process of dimensional ascension and become a semi-high-dimensional being. The Heavenly Dao of this world is no longer able to control me."

"Now I can leave whenever I want; the laws of nature cannot restrain me. If they want me to stay, I can stay, as long as I can endure the suffocating pain."

"The motivation that drives me to continue repaying my debts is no longer coercion, but my own willingness."

Uchiha Yu glanced at Miwa Masase and said mockingly, "But I'm not some saint. My repayment will definitely be within my means. If I 'accidentally' destroy this world, I will..."

Masayo Miwa stuck out his tongue: "You'll catch all the bugs you can, put them in another box, and then collect the broken bug box remains and dispose of them properly, meow."

Uchiha Yu smiled: "You're right. Now that I've ascended to a higher dimension, this world is mine. I'll be heartbroken if I accidentally break it, but if it's broken, it's broken, and I can't accept it."

He arrogantly declared, "The roles of host and guest have now been reversed. I am the master of the world, not its beast of burden."

"To put it bluntly, it's now the turn of Heaven to be sensible."

Masayo Miwa rubbed his chin together and muttered, "I always underestimate your shamelessness, and now I've made the same mistake again."

Just as they were laughing and joking, a massive wave of information swept across the entire world.

This was Otsutsuki Shibaki's proactive reconnaissance, like a grasshopper extending its antennae before hunting. The action of probing was undisguised, revealing its ferocity and directness from the inside out.

Because the wave itself carries the owner's information and perception, it can immediately obtain the most direct first-hand intelligence and quickly and directly determine the target's situation.

However, this approach also carries risks. Such information waves could be exploited by the enemy to transmit incorrect information, directly threatening Otsutsuki Shibakai's life.

Another thing is that it was too obvious. This round of detection even reached Miwa Masayo and Otsutsuki Kaguya. The powerful information waves even made their heads buzz.

In Miwa Masayo's view, Otsutsuki Shibakai had already fallen into Uchiha Yu's trap.

After thinking he had succeeded, He launched a more direct reconnaissance. Once He obtained accurate intelligence, He was ready to launch an attack.

She knew the first half of Uchiha Yu's plan, and seeing that her partner had guessed the enemy's entire reaction, she asked curiously, "Yu, the enemy has taken the bait, what should we do next?"

Uchiha Yu shook his head and said, "No, the enemy hasn't taken the bait yet. Such a violent action proves that He is still testing us."

Masayo Miwa asked in surprise, "A test? Is this intense reconnaissance still a test, meow?"

Uchiha Yu replied confidently, "Otsutsuki Shibai's actions were too direct and too forceful. I felt that he was deliberately using too much force."

"He's stirring up trouble!"

Masayo Miwa was convinced: "That makes sense, meow."

"But my question hasn't changed. What should we do next?"

Uchiha Yu had no intention of hiding it any longer. He explained, "I'm going to keep pretending to be the prey. I want Otsutsuki Shibai to believe that I'm 'afraid,' a prey who is powerless and cowardly to fight back."

"I want Him to rush over impatiently and crash headlong into the ending I've arranged for Him."

Then Uchiha Yu revealed the answer: "If a rabbit shows off and the hunting dog doesn't back down, it will definitely choose to run away, so my next plan is to run away."

Masayo Miwa asked, looking completely bewildered, "Run away? We're going to wander into outer space, cat?"

Uchiha Yu chuckled and said, "I don't plan to escape through space; that would be too clumsy."

"I will exhaust the power of time and, with the help of the dragon veins, return to the time and space where you and I grew up."

"I think that running away across the river of time will be very convincing, convincing Otsutsuki Shibaki that I am afraid of him."

Miwa Masayo: "Escape to another time and space, meow? That's too much, meow!"

"Let alone Otsutsuki Shibakai, I think you're just running away."
