"Here we go again, this damn thing!"
Urashiki and Momoshiki swiftly moved, dodging Obito's frenzied attacks, gritting their teeth with hatred as they watched Isshiki grapple with Obito for control of the body once more.
A fierce struggle began, the body shared by Isshiki and Obito was like a left hand fighting the right hand, with golden crosses and Kamui Mangekyo patterns alternating, relentlessly charging and counter-charging on the battlefield of dominant consciousness.
Until much later.
Isshiki's facial features finally stabilized on the body, drenched in cold sweat, collapsing powerlessly to the ground, muttering to himself:
"I've had enough! How did it come to this... I still wanted to plant and harvest Divine Trees on planet after planet, devouring enough Chakra Fruits to become a god!"
"Am I really going to fall here?"
The repeated pulls and tugs with Obito left even the strong-willed Isshiki somewhat shattered.
Godhood, seriously?
If you can't even deal with a lovestruck kid, it's a blessing for the Otsutsuki Clan to just wash their hands of you...
Urashiki and Momoshiki looked on silently at this scene.
Indeed, it has reached the most critical moment...
Though they couldn't figure out why Aomi hadn't caught up to finish them off.
They didn't believe that with Aomi's demonstrated top-tier combat skills and bloodline, even among the Otsutsuki clan, he wouldn't be able to locate them hiding in the Otherworld...
Perhaps Aomi was digesting his internal power, or maybe he had other plans...
But as long as he decided to handle them, this trio of Otsutsuki was certainly doomed, this Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Isshiki knew well.
"Why hasn't my support jutsu been responded to yet?"
Isshiki coughed heavily, his golden eyes filled with blood, and full of hatred, said:
"I've said it, this planet potentially hides Shibai-sama's remains! The clan must have already been alerted, so why hasn't there been any response yet!!"
"I think the Otsutsuki Clan is finished! Uchiha Aomi has the 'Plow', and if he accidentally guesses about Shibai-sama's matters, then it's big trouble!"
"It's over, the Otsutsuki Clan is finished!"
In a powerless and desperate predicament, Isshiki crazily criticized the Otsutsuki Clan's support system, turning into a critic.
He needed to find a way to vent his fear and anger!
"Ha ha, this is all you amount to, Isshiki! You're even complaining to the Otsutsuki Clan, with your background and strength, yet you got overthrown by me and Aomi, you're just a waste!"
Uchiha Obito laughed loudly, his laughter full of ridicule and pride: "And you want to become a god, you piece of trash, are you even worthy?"
"I saw your memories, you couldn't even handle a branch member like Kaguya and you're still yapping here!"
"I'm telling you, only Aomi has the possibility of becoming a god! No matter if it's trash like you or other arriving Otsutsuki, Aomi will slaughter all of you one by one!"
"The remains of the God of Otsutsuki? Don't worry, Aomi surely already knows! He will consume your strongest Otsutsuki and then annihilate your entire clan!"
Isshiki painfully closed his eyes.
If cutting off his ears would stop him from hearing Obito's barking, he would truly do it at this moment...
Unfortunately.
Being merged in consciousness with Obito, he could only passively accept such screams on a soul level...
Torture, truly torturous!
"Damn thing, even getting the remains of the God of Otsutsuki? I'm telling you; I can't wait for Uchiha Aomi to get it..."
Isshiki thought for a moment, eyes flashing with cruel light, retorted:
"If he dares to taint those remains, he'll be devoured by the Wedge within, becoming the vessel for the revival of our clan's great existence!"
"You're right, with Uchiha Aomi's instincts, he might really discover these... I'll wait, I'll wait, perhaps our clan's support won't even be needed, your relied-upon Uchiha Aomi will have already become a sacrifice!"
"You, the trash Kaguya created, and all inferior species in the Ninja World, will be crushed by Uchiha Aomi's own hands!"
In fact.
Isshiki didn't actually know if the remains of the God of Otsutsuki contained any lingering consciousness, such things were uncertain...
But Isshiki thought it possible.
After all, being a once divine existence, even as remains, the power contained would most certainly have supreme will...
In short, whether true or false didn't matter, as long as it could unsettle Uchiha Obito's mindset...
"Despicable Otsutsuki Clan! You parasites, you vile creatures!" Hearing the remains of the God of Otsutsuki might be problematic, Uchiha Obito's heart tightened, losing composure, and started cursing.
At this moment, a trace of joy flashed in Isshiki's heart.
It's effective!
When Obito's mind wasn't that steadfast, Isshiki clearly felt a much stronger control over the body...
But Isshiki's joy froze on his face, as Obito's resistance rose up in rebellion once again!
"Ha ha, I was really stupid; I actually worried about Aomi just now! If trash like you can think of such issues, I don't believe Aomi wouldn't!"
Uchiha Obito shouted wildly: "As long as Aomi's around, he can't fail!"
Isshiki almost spat out blood.
He really wanted to crack open Uchiha Obito's head to see if Aomi had implanted some terrifying dojutsu or restriction, making his trust so single-minded...
