Kaguya's New Assistant and Interesting Discovery
🕑 Added 2024-10-01 17:35:52 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 484 ---
After the youth said his name, Kaguya's eyes flashed with interest.
"Kawaki, huh?" Kaguya gazed at the former vessel of Isshiki from top to bottom.
At first glance, she didn't find anything special about this boy, but looking at the suspended Kama, she knew he hadn't become part of Otsutsuki.
It is a weird case, possibly due to a rare genetic mutation inside Kawaki's body.
After all, Otsutsuki's genes are too overpowering. They could overwrite almost every biological lifeform and reincarnate through them.
'Or is it because of Isshiki's dead spirit?' Kaguya pondered inwardly.
"How old are you?"
Kawaki frowned slightly and replied coldly, "Why should I answer your question?"
Keke~!
Bibi Dong chuckled in amusement upon hearing this. This boy is bold.
Even Umeshiki wouldn't dare to use such a tone on Kaguya.
Kaguya didn't mind Kawaki's attitude, "Because I could help you suffer less."
Kawaki froze on the spot. He unconsciously clenched his left hand as even though Isshiki had died, the man had left a scar on him.
This very scar is pulsating each second, causing Kawaki immense pain physically and mentally. Even though Kawaki wanted to, he couldn't remove this damned cursed scar.
"Can you really do that?" Kawaki finally decided to be less wary. Well, it's not like he could do anything in this situation.
This blue-eyed woman before him claimed she could kill that bastard Isshiki. And the two others probably aren't far off.
Kawaki knew his limit. There is fucking no way he could defeat three of them and leave this place alive. That's just his pipe dream.
Kaguya smiled and ordered, "Lift and open your left hand. Show me your Kama."
Kawaki calmly lifted his hand, doing what Kaguya said.
After seeing the diamond-shaped Kama, Kaguya nodded and chanted a few gibberish that sounded mysterious in everyone's ears. Even Bibi Dong couldn't recognize such a technique.
Invisible energy appeared gradually, stabbing Kawaki's palm straight into his diamond-shaped Kama.
"Ack!"
Kawaki cried in pain. He crouched on the ground and feverishly stared at his burning palm. Of course, his palm didn't get burned. It's just that the sensation was overwhelming.
The Kama on Kawaki's palm also gained a change. Currently, two Arc Moons surrounded the Kama and contained it with their bodies.
Slowly but surely, the Kama lost its black color and turned into dull grey.
Kawaki was stunned because he didn't feel searing pain anymore. In fact, he felt like his body and Chakra were improving rapidly.
"Hmm, did you just put a limiter on his Kama?" Umeshiki noticed a subtle quality in the two arc moons and couldn't help but ask. "The rate of Kama's power flowing into his body is slowing down."
Kaguya nodded casually, "With this, he wouldn't die easily."
"Die easily..." Kawaki was stumped, and a bitter smile formed on his face.
He doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry at that comment.
At a young age, Kawaki always thought he was miserable.
Kawaki had no mother, and his father was an abusive alcoholic loser who made his only children chop wood to indulge his addiction.
Then, Kawaki's father sold him to Jigen or Isshiki, throwing him into the abyss of torture.
Kawaki endured Isshiki's torture every day. Only today, he could breathe and felt freedom coursing through his veins.
It feels good.
After a while, Kawaki calmed down and stared at Kaguya solemnly.
"What do you want from me? I know there is no such a thing as a free thing in this world."
'Not bad.' Bibi Dong praised this boy for his clear thought.
Kaguya gave Kawaki a particular look and responded, "The limiter I put on your Kama is called Twin Arc Seal. It will seal your Kama's outburst to a manageable level and allow you to adapt to Otsutsuki's Genes."
"It will last for a week."
"I knew it..." Kawaki put on a helpless expression.
Kaguya didn't care about Kawaki's helplessness.
She continued, "I have an offer for you. Be my assistant, and you can live without regret."
"Not a disciple?" Bibi Dong leaned on Kaguya and whispered.
Kaguya's expression is still aloof as ever, "He's not at the level where he's worthy enough to become my disciple..."
Bibi Dong shook her head weakly. Unlike Kaguya, she wasn't so strict when choosing her apostle. That's the reason choosing Umeshiki is an easy decision for her.
Umeshiki can endure one round of Bibi Dong's love for Yunlong, which fulfills the goddess of love's standard. Talent isn't a problem for Bibi Dong because Umeshiki should be talented enough for an Otsutsuki.
Although Umeshiki hasn't awakened her Martial Soul, Bibi Dong could also give her God-given Martial Soul like the Sea God did to his descendant, Bo Saixi.
Thinking about this, Bibi Dong also felt a little wry. She hoped Umeshiki didn't let him down.
"Assistant..." Kawaki fell into deep thought.
Kaguya finished her offer, "You will be my assistant in researching Kama. Your basic needs will get handled, so don't worry about your living conditions."
"Kid, you better accept Kaguya's offer." Bibi Dong kindly gives this wary boy advice. "Not many people could enter her eyes."
"You will also get stronger if you follow her. Don't you want the power to kill someone like that guy named Isshiki?"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Kawaki couldn't help but tremble.
'That's right! This woman killed Isshiki, and from the look of it, it was effortless for her.' Kawaki thought to himself.
'If I could learn from her, I can get stronger. Stronger than this shitty Kara, stronger than Code, and stronger than damned Isshiki!'
Kawaki breathed in and firmly gazed at Kaguya, "Then, I will follow you."
"That was fast." Bibi Dong chuckled in her amusement. Only a few words and this kid's hope ignited immediately.
He's still a kid, after all.
"You may call me Miss from now on." Kaguya walked toward Kawaki and patted his shoulder.
"Show me the entrance to Kara."
Kawaki felt his body brimming with energy and hurriedly replied, "Yes."
With Kawaki in the lead, Kaguya and two others entered Kara's hidden base like they owned this place. Well, they owned it after killing Isshiki.
They met with some guardian puppets, but Kaguya didn't even need to blink to kill them. They are too weak to stop them.
Eventually, they arrived at the long white passage and were 'suddenly' welcomed by a masked man.
The man has white hair and a well-trimmed beard, showing only the lower part of his face. He wore a black cloak and only showed some parts of his clothes.
Kawaki's eyes widened, "Kashin Koji..."
"Miss, he's one of Kara's members."
Kashin Koji raised his arm in defeat, "Wait, I don't mean no offense."
"I'm here to welcome Kaguya-sama and others."
"Amado is waiting for them in the lab."
"Amado? Is that the man Isshiki tricked into working with him?" Kaguya tilted her head slightly.
Kashin Koji coughed awkwardly, "Yes..."
"Amado was part of Kara, but his real motive has always been to kill Isshiki when the time is right."
"We never thought Isshiki would die in Kaguya-sama's hand first."
"..." Kawaki.
"..." Others.
Kaguya could tell this masked man wasn't lying, "Is that so?"
"I can sense that you're not a pure human."
Kashin Koji nodded, "I'm a clone made by Amado. He also grafted Otsutsuki's genes into my body."
"It's not just any Otsutsuki." Kaguya smiled as if she had found something interesting.
"Your Otsutsuki's genes belonged to the Spiritual Leader, or "God" of the Otsutsuki Clan..."
"Otsutsuki Shibai."
