----------
The world in front of him gave Ishigami Hara a familiar feeling. This feeling was just like the five spaces controlled by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. They were also ruined worlds after the natural energy was drained, and they were also complete.
The only difference was that Ishigami Hara did not feel the sense of oppression from this world.
In other words, the world in front of him was only occupied by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, but not completely controlled by him.
Although Ishigami Hara did not know the specific reason, he could roughly guess it by considering what had happened to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. It was likely because he had been attacked by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, leading to his death, and he was forced to occupy the body of the monk Jigen.
This also caused his own power system to be weakened. Although he could still use his original power, Jigen was not a perfect vessel after all, and this process inevitably resulted in some losses. These losses were particularly prominent in the space he controlled.
Since this space was not fully controlled, Ishigami Hara would naturally not hold back.
Without Ōtsutsuki Isshiki noticing, Ishigami Hara's own Chakra aura expanded, and soon he took control of the spaces, just as he had deprived Ōtsutsuki Kaguya of her own space.
And in this process, there was an unexpected surprise.
The space where the two were now was actually connected to the other four spaces, and there was no starting space; instead, the five spaces were connected as a whole, very tightly.
In other words, Ishigami Hara only needed to control the space he was in now, and he could control the other four spaces through the connection between them, something that Isshiki had not anticipated.
The difference between Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could be seen from this aspect. The latter needed to go through the starting space as a focal point to control the five spaces, but Ōtsutsuki Isshiki did not need it. The space cohesion of the former was far beyond the latter's.
Although Ishigami Hara had not completely deconstructed these two methods, he could still perceive their depth. In short, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's ability to control his own space was stronger than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's.
Of course, all this was before Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had been injured by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's surprise attack.
And now, all this had naturally become a thing of the past.
After discovering that Ishigami Hara had also appeared here, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was shocked at first, then, without any hesitation, he flew to the top of the Ten Tails' head.
Compared with the one Ishigami Hara had seen before, this Ten Tails was obviously much smaller, so much so that its size did not exceed 100 meters, and was even less than 60 or 70 meters. It was not even as large as a normal tailed beast, making the gap between the two particularly stark.
But in any case, the Ten Tails still exceeded a single tailed beast in terms of chakra volume.
This scene was not beyond Ishigami Hara's expectations. In his opinion, there were only two reasons why the Ten Tails was only this size.
First, this Ten Tails had not turned into a god tree to absorb natural energy and transform it into chakra to produce chakra fruit.
Second, this Ten Tails had to undergo years of extraction by Ōtsutsuki. Without any replenishment of its own chakra, it was naturally impossible for it to reach the level of the Ten Tails in the Ninja World.
In this case, Ishigami Hara would not care too much.
Ōtsutsuki was very decisive and sealed the Ten Tails into his body without any hesitation. Although the process was not like the sealing of the tailed beasts in the Ninja World, the general operation was similar.
In short, at this moment, Ōtsutsuki was going to become the Ten Tails Jinchūriki.
But at this time, Ishigami Hara asked, "Can your body bear this?"
Ōtsutsuki was expressionless and asked back, "Then will you let me go?"
Ōtsutsuki was arrogant, especially when dealing with the natives of the planet. Yet, this arrogance was not revealed at all when facing Ishigami Hara.
The reason was nothing more than Ishigami Hara's strength, which had exceeded Ōtsutsuki's imagination. When he saw Ishigami Hara for the first time, he had already determined the gap between the two.
In his opinion, even if he were in his prime, he couldn't defeat his opponent, and the opponent obviously had no intention of letting him go.
Rather than doing that, it's better to die with Ōtsutsuki's pride.
Ishigami Hara smiled, but he smiled without saying anything.
Seeing this, Ōtsutsuki accelerated the process of sealing the Ten Tails, and the Ten Tails stretched and thinned from the top of its head, then quickly integrated into Ōtsutsuki's body little by little.
During the whole process, Ōtsutsuki's body also changed.
The first thing that changed was his body surface, igniting a layer of chakra flames.
The light blue flame had no temperature, but it rose skyward like fire.
Then Ōtsutsuki's clothes changed.
The original monk's clothes transformed into a white robe, with magatama at the collar and cuffs.
Especially notable was the high collar, revealing the scarlet color inside.
A dark circle appeared on his chest, marking the seal of the Ten Tails' location.
His face also changed dramatically.
His eyebrows thickened and became more layered.
A bone ridge extended from his left eyebrow around the back of his head to the right temple, bulging outward to form a unique sharp angle.
At this moment, Ōtsutsuki looked full of wild power, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Of course, this sense of oppression was only for ordinary people; for Ishigami Hara, it was nothing.
"Interesting."
His evaluation was just that. Clearly, the changes in Ōtsutsuki's whole body did not make him feel anything special.
