This malice from the world was very clear, giving Shinji, who was within it, a slight feeling of suffocation. However, this situation had never happened before, so after carefully sensing for a while, Shinji found no clues.
"It must be the Hegemon playing tricks!"
He was very certain.
The only power capable of influencing the entire World No. 2 was the Hegemon. Because the 'Lampbearer' of World No. 2 had already died at Shinji's hands, the World Will of World No. 2 had already fallen into chaos to some extent and could not possibly carry out such a resolute and unified action.
Looking up at the sky, Shinji's expression became solemn.
Shinji knew nothing about this Hegemon behind the 'World Annihilation Society'. Therefore, during this period, he had asked around in the 'Lampbearer' circle, but the harvest was very little.
However, this was normal, because information about the Hegemon was inherently a source of pollution. Even 'Lampbearers' would instinctively keep a respectful distance. Plus, without exception, all worlds that had faced the Hegemon directly had become the Hegemon's meal. So even in the 'Lampbearer' circle, information about the Hegemon was very scarce.
Whoosh...
At this time, the tech ball 'Little Yuan' flew to Shinji's side: "Scan complete!"
Shinji instructed: "Report the results."
'Little Yuan' immediately unfolded a 3D projection map and reported to Shinji: "The civilizations on the planet are gathering. It is judged that their target is very likely the two God Trees."
Shinji frowned.
From the projection map shown by 'Little Yuan', it could be seen that forces representing the local civilizations of World No. 2 were gathering in cities not far from the God Trees, and some forces had already approached the God Trees to conduct reconnaissance.
World No. 2 was a low-magic, low-martial arts world. Its overall level was comparable to the 'Demon Slayer World', but the upper limit of strength was slightly lower than the 'Demon Slayer World'. So even if all the civilizations of this world gathered, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to Shinji.
Precisely because of this, he suspected that the Hegemon inciting the civilizations of World No. 2 to target him had another purpose.
"Cannot conflict with the local civilizations!"
No matter what the Hegemon wanted to do, Shinji wouldn't let it succeed.
Clap...
Having made up his mind, Shinji put his hands together and shouted: "Chibaku Tensei!" (Planetary Devastation)
Instantly, with the activation of Shinji's dojutsu, the earth in front of him suddenly trembled. Large patches of soil and rocks floated up, then slowly rose high into the sky.
Under the traction of a huge gravitational force, all these floating soil and rocks converged to a point, finally condensing into a huge satellite in the starry sky beyond the clouds.
Without any preparation, just an ordinary 'Chakra Tensei', the current Shinji easily created a near-earth satellite like a 'moon'.
After creating the 'moon', Shinji opened the 'Nine Tomoe Rinnegan' hidden between his eyebrows, activated 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', and using the 'moon' he just created as a reflector, reflected 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to the entire World No. 2.
Correct, Shinji directly activated 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.
Although the fate of World No. 2 was caused by the 'Lampbearer' of World No. 2 himself and decided by the Hegemon entrenched outside the spatial barrier, Shinji had no way to erase the label of 'predator' on himself, so the best way was to hide himself.
Thus, the effect of his 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' was not to plunge the living beings of World No. 2 into illusions, but to make the living beings of World No. 2 ignore the two God Trees!
After doing all this, Shinji sent 'Little Yuan' to continue scanning and found that the armies gathered in the towns near the God Trees indeed dispersed in batches.
"Is this 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'? Surprisingly useful!"
Standing at the top of the God Tree, Shinji chuckled and sighed with emotion.
Then his face suddenly changed, understanding the Hegemon's purpose in doing this.
He thought he was snatching food from the tiger's mouth, racing against time with the Hegemon, but ignored that for World No. 2 under his feet, he, coming from the shinobi world, and the two God Trees were also a source of pollution.
Although this pollution wouldn't erode the spatial barrier of World No. 2, it would draw World No. 2 closer to the shinobi world, just like the invasion of the 'Demon Slayer World' into the shinobi world back then.
So the Hegemon making the living beings of World No. 2 hostile to Shinji and the God Trees was aimed at accelerating the spread of the shinobi world's pollution to World No. 2, rapidly drawing the two worlds closer, so as to find the shinobi world where Shinji was through World No. 2.
The reason Shinji didn't think of this at first was that the worlds targeted by the Hegemon through the 'World Annihilation Society' usually only had a 'lifespan' of two or three months, and Shinji generally planted trees in inaccessible locations, causing very limited pollution.
Limited pollution and limited time were not enough to draw the two worlds closer, so it was impossible for the Hegemon to find the shinobi world based on this.
It's just that he didn't expect the Hegemon to use malice this time to make the entire civilization of World No. 2 hostile to him.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time. Otherwise, once the civilizations of World No. 2 learned of his existence and the function of the God Trees, war would be inevitable.
At that time, the pollution from the shinobi world would spread rapidly to the entire World No. 2 at an incredibly terrifying speed. Perhaps in less than a month or two, World No. 2 and the shinobi world would be forcibly connected by pollution, overlapping with each other.
In this way, the Hegemon could not only find Shinji's lair and eliminate Shinji, a competitor who had been snatching food from its mouth all along, but also use World No. 2, which was already at its mouth, as bait to lure the shinobi world over and devour one more world.
Shinji, having reacted, felt secretly fearful.
Fortunately, when facing the Hegemon, he was always vigilant and didn't let his guard down because of the huge increase in strength just now. Otherwise, he might have been plotted against by the Hegemon this time!
"I'll remember this one!"
After a light snort, Shinji began targeted arrangements.
First, he modified the effect of the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' just now, deleting the incongruous parts as much as possible, and implanted false information that a terrifying plague was erupting in the area where the two God Trees were located, making the civilizations of World No. 2 instinctively stay away from the area where the two God Trees were.
Subsequently, he modified the memories of all intelligent life that had witnessed the God Trees, erasing the images of the God Trees from their minds.
After doing all this, Shinji waved his hand again, destroying the 'moon' just created, because a strange celestial body suddenly appearing in the starry sky would arouse the desire for exploration of the civilizations in World No. 2.
With this series of measures, although the pollution of World No. 2 by the shinobi world could not be completely eliminated, at least it could ensure that the situation did not deteriorate further.
Anyway, World No. 2 didn't have much time left. Shinji only needed to ensure that the pollution wouldn't spread on a large scale.
