"So this time, what about it?" Aomi withdrew Kaguya's Chakra and replaced it with his own, sending it toward the skeletal remains.
As Aomi's Chakra approached.
The skeleton visibly trembled, ripples emanating from the bone seams, with Aomi's protective Light of Amano Iwato causing waves of disturbance.
Kaguya's eyes burned with an increasingly intense crimson, staring at the skeleton like a ravenous wolf.
"I think I understand..."
"This so-called divine shell isn't indiscriminate... Kaguya, of a level like hers, probably cannot bear its power and thus rejects possession..."
"As for Isshiki from the original timeline, he was too weak and therefore wasn't taken over... As for sensing it, perhaps this divine shell wanted to escape its confinement beneath the sea, seeking out more targets, thus lowering itself to actively find Isshiki..."
Aomi shifted his gaze to Kaguya:
"The truth about Isshiki is irrelevant... Now we need to test whether the Soul Engraving can resist the God of Otsutsuki's influence on Kaguya..."
Aomi's heart moved.
Kaguya's Soul Engraving shimmered with an eerie purple-red light, and Aomi's name emerged!
At this moment.
Kaguya's scarlet eyes suddenly cleared.
"What happened to me just now?"
Kaguya looked at Aomi in panic, "Aomi, I suddenly felt so hungry, wanting to devour so much Chakra..."
"Until your voice suddenly appeared in my mind, it woke me up!"
"It's okay now, Kaguya." Aomi gently stroked Kaguya's smooth white hair and said tenderly:
"Influences from your bloodline make some loss of composure inevitable... But don't worry, our bond has proven it can overcome the so-called God of Otsutsuki..."
"Next time, I'll watch over you."
Kaguya's face instantly turned a rosy red, feeling shy about Aomi's gentleness and strength, yet annoyed at her own helplessness.
She had planned to burn herself with Baryon Mode to destroy the divine shell's consciousness, aiding Aomi in reaching greater heights!
Having been affected at first glance, could she still be Aomi's reliable assistant?
"Soul Engraving, I must tightly hold onto the Soul Engraving Aomi gave me..." Kaguya sighed heavily in her heart:
"I must do something for Aomi! An unworthy Otsutsuki is worse than a pretty vase... Remember, this is your last failure!"
Kaguya told herself this in her mind.
Aomi did not concern himself with Kaguya, knowing that with the protection of Soul Engraving, this divine shell wouldn't affect Kaguya or possess her, that was enough.
Because, if this was achieved, Kaguya would have the qualifications to be a filter, a firewall.
As Aomi's Chakra approached.
The skeleton became increasingly excited, its otherwise static bones trembling continuously, and at this moment extending several black filamentous objects from its seams, like countless tiny tentacles...
"Already can't wait? There's no way I'll let you have it..." Aomi snorted coldly, flipped his wrist, and instantly withdrew the mass of Chakra energy back into his body.
And the black filamentous objects extending from the skeletal seams, pursuing fervently for an instant, then fell limp, as if they had lost subsequent strength.
Upon losing a target, the entire exposed skeleton trembled violently.
At this moment, increasingly intense enticing waves crazily emanated from the skeleton...
"No, I won't be affected anymore!" Kaguya's eyes focused, her heart rapidly chanting Aomi's name, utilizing the power of Soul Engraving, steadfastly preserving her true self.
This time, though Kaguya still wasn't entirely unaffected, she did not lose control.
"You did well, Kaguya! Even if it's a divine shell, now it's revealed to be merely a skeleton... With me, with you, mere remains cannot affect us!"
Aomi generously praised Kaguya aloud, cheering her on.
Hearing Aomi's praise, the Soul Engraving on Kaguya's body deepened once more, and the slight disturbances caused by the skeleton in her heart were completely quelled!
"Don't worry, Aomi! With you by my side, even the God of Otsutsuki doesn't scare me!"
Kaguya, due to the struggle against the greed within her bloodline, with sweat trickling down from her forehead from intense mental exhaustion, looked toward Aomi with a wide smile:
"Believe in me, Aomi!"
"I have always believed in you, Kaguya..." Aomi smiled warmly.
After this round of testing.
Aomi proved the feasibility of usurping the power within the skeleton's divine shell... Soul Engraving proved effective!
"If it hadn't been for the special talent Naruto gave me, perhaps I would use Amano Iwato to form a seal, as a way to seal the God of Otsutsuki's divine shell..."
Aomi pondered for a moment, various Fuinjutsu, Dojutsu flashed through his mind repeatedly, with an inspiration appearing:
"But now, there may be a better option, Tobirama plus Obito...?"
"Otherworldly Gift" provided Aomi with a method to convert other energies into Space-Time Energy...
Once, Senju Tobirama, using the Space-Time Energy from the dragon vein as the Fuinjutsu, banished Otsutsuki Kaguya within Aomi to Anotherworld.
