Isshiki's Ex-Vessel, Kawaki
🕑 Added 2024-09-30 16:36:10 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 483 ---
Kaguya silently stared at the 'husk' left behind by Isshiki. It was the body of a man Isshiki seized to stay alive, which holds tremendous research value for her Kama.
After thinking about it, she sealed the body and threw it to her personal dimension.
Since Isshiki's spirit has gotten exhausted to the point of breaking itself to run away from agony, Kaguya isn't afraid Isshiki could use Kama to survive.
Even if Isshiki has planted Kama on other vessels, those vessels would only get his genetic codes and become Half-Otsutsuki rather than Isshiki reincarnating in them.
Yes, this is one of Kama's weaknesses. When the planter of Kama lost their spirit, what was left was only their genetic codes.
Kaguya looked at the two tube containers in her hand. One holds Isshiki's Kokugan, and the other has his enhanced Byakugan.
She didn't care much about Byakugan because they were the most basic eye in the Otsutsuki Clan. Almost all of Otsutsuki have Byakugan, and even Kaguya has them.
Kaguya has evolved her Byakugan into Tenseigan, so Byakugan's value is low in her eyes. Well, an extra eye is welcome.
"Kokugan... Isshiki, you can do so much with this eye, but all you do is shrink menial objects and insignificant energy." Kaguya mumbled with a slight mocking tone.
"Just imagine a Spiritual Core with several million units of Divine Energy (Divine Energy) reduced ten of their original size? I can put more energy into my cultivation and increase my reserve quantity."
"I can even create a small universe to hold Yunlong's Kama."
"So, that's your goal?" Bibi Dong walked to Kaguya, observing Kokugan with an interest on her face.
Kaguya glanced at Bibi Dong and nodded, "Yes. With this eye, our trap will also become more lethal. There shouldn't be any error in our exchange later."
Meanwhile, Umeshiki was frozen not far away.
Like Isshiki, she also caught a glimpse of Kaguya's True Body.
Umeshiki was terrified. Kaguya, this woman, is much more terrifying than Bibi Dong.
In fact, Umeshiki believed Kaguya was stronger than Bibi Dong, knowing this thought of her was blasphemous toward her mistress.
'Damn, I'll do my best not to offend this monster.' Umeshiki firmly vowed in her heart.
Kaguya and Bibi Dong were unaware of Umeshiki's panic thoughts. Even if they did, they wouldn't care much about her.
"Where are we going next?" Bibi Dong asked Kaguya.
Kaguya stored the containers away and replied, "Isshiki's base. Before he died, I performed Heart Illusion to learn some information about his group."
"Isshiki's ambition is indeed great. He was trying to cultivate Ten Tails again."
"Of course, Ten-Tails will be ours now."
"What are we waiting for then?" Bibi Dong gave the moon goddess an intrigued look. She had heard about Ten Tails for a while now, so seeing one would be an experience.
Kaguya nodded and canceled her dimension-warping technique. After that, the scenery returned to the dilated shrine.
At the same time, Kaguya and Bibi Dong also felt a probing gaze from far away. They frowned slightly because the gaze came from the Land of Snow.
Weirdly, they couldn't detect where exactly this sensation was coming from. They could tell it was from the Land of Snow, but not the specific location.
Unfortunately, this sensation only lasts for a split second before disappearing.
If it's other people, they wouldn't be able to sense it. However, Bibi Dong and Kaguya are God-level Experts.
"This annoying fellow again..." Kaguya narrowed her eyes.
"Again? Has it happened before?" Bibi Dong was surprised.
Kaguya closed her eyes and replied calmly, "Yes. When Yunlong and I discovered the Hidden Vein of Life, someone spied on us."
"I'm sure this was 'truly' done by the same person."
"What an impressive spying ability..." Bibi Dong glanced at the zoning-out Otsutsuki. "What about you, Umeshiki? Did you feel it?"
"Uh, what?" Umeshiki snapped out of her daze.
Bibi Dong's mouth twitched slightly upon seeing this. 'Don't tell me this woman became an idiot after tasting my love for Yunlong? It can't be, right?'
Bibi Dong started doubting her decision, making Umeshiki her apostle.
Kaguya shook her head gently, "She wasn't the target of spying. She wouldn't be able to sense it."
"Let's go to Isshiki's liar and see what we can get there."
"Let's go." Bibi Dong sighed. She can't help it with her foolish apostle.
They vanished from the dilapidated shrine and appeared in a dim-lit cave plastered with many sealing techniques.
"Huh, space-covering tags?" Bibi Dong recognized the sealing techniques because the Bright Spirit Empire used the same method to create their technologies.
"But from the effect, the technique used on these space-covering tags is ten years behind the one at the Bright Spirit Empire," Kaguya added casually.
"Isshiki must have made them hastily or didn't have enough materials to create better ones."
Bibi Dong looked at Kaguya weirdly, "You have been harshly commenting on this guy even after his death. I didn't know you were this talkative."
Kaguya paused for a second before saying. "I just don't have a reason to talk with others."
"But you talk with Yunlong?"
"Yunlong is different."
"That's true." Bibi Dong smiled due to this small conversation. She also confirmed that Kaguya hated Isshiki's guts because the moon goddess didn't deny it.
As expected, women are vengeful.
Bibi Dong didn't dislike this side of Kaguya.
To her, Kaguya's usual aloofness is hard to approach, but seeing these new emotions created a charming contrast in her opinion.
As they entered the cave, Bibi Dong asked Kaguya several questions, and the latter answered everything calmly.
Suddenly, a sharp blade appeared from the darkness.
Of course, this blade didn't pose any threat to them.
"Interesting." Bibi Dong blinked her pretty eyes and saw the sharp blade stopping one meter away from them, hovering mid-air. "What a funny guy, don't you think so, Kaguya?"
Kaguya stared at the darkness and said, "Come out, boy. We know you're there."
"Don't worry, Isshiki no longer exists in this world. I've killed him."
Silence filled the cave.
Kaguya waited for a few seconds before hearing footsteps coming in their direction.
A youth walked out of the shadow. It was a young man with gray eyes and bushy black hair, the sides of which were shaven and blond. Despite his gruff and cold demeanor, he is handsome for kids his age. Additionally, he has a tattoo of the Roman numeral Ⅸ under his left eye, a pair of piercings on his right eyebrow, and stud earrings.
He wore a blue sleeveless vest jacket with gray stripe patterns on the collar over a green shirt and dark pants with a studded belt.
Kaguya didn't care much about his appearance, though. She was more interested in the diamond-shaped Kama on the kid's left hand's palm.
After Isshiki's spirit died, the Kama didn't disappear and instead became one with this kid.
Even Umesehiki, who had been muddle-headed for a while, stared at the boy with an intrigued look.
Kama is Otsutsuki's Ultimate Technique. So, it has a nearly 100% success rate, except in extreme cases like Kaguya.
So, Kama will happen sooner or later. There has been no case where Otsutsuki's Spirit died and did not become a new Otsutsuki.
Even after Tsukihime was defeated, she didn't simply die. She becomes one with her host and becomes a new Otsutsuki named Kaguya.
So, this boy is a 'completely' new case.
Unexpectedly, the youth opened his mouth first.
"Did you really kill that man?" His tone is full of wariness and hatred.
Yes, wariness toward Kaguya and two others. And extreme hatred toward the recently dead Isshiki.
Kaguya chuckled, sensing this immense hatred. "Yes. I was the one who killed him."
"You must be Isshiki's chosen vessel, so you should feel the restriction on your Kama is no longer there. Otsutsuki's power is flowing through your veins like a flooding wave."
"Boy, what is your name?"
The youth frowned and then replied, "Kawaki..."
"My name is Kawaki."
