Chapter 26 Fortunately, there was still a way out.
call!
As the scenery receded into the distance, Orochimaru moved through the forest like a phantom.
It was midday, the weather was clear and cloudless, and everything seemed perfectly normal.
If it weren't for this strange area in front of us.
It was deathly silent, cold, and dim. Despite the bright sunshine, he felt no warmth as he approached. The sunlight shone on him, but the light seemed like a false illusion, offering Orochimaru no comfort whatsoever.
Even standing on the edge, you can see a few snowflakes slowly falling in that desolate realm, which seems to be seen through a layer of frosted glass.
From large animals to small insects, and even plants, all of them have had all their energy drained, remaining inside like sculptures, rotting? No, they will never rot again, because even bacteria cannot survive in such a desperate environment and can only face death.
At the edge of the desolate domain, Orochimaru stood there with a grim expression. After seeing this domain, Orochimaru knew that Nagato and the others were not exaggerating; this world might really be about to be destroyed. The reason it looked so blurry was as if it were behind a layer of frosted glass. In scientific terms...
The light in this area has been absorbed by something, preventing it from refracting and making it impossible for outsiders to see inside. It has formed a black body. The reason they can still vaguely and barely see the edges and the environment not far inside is because the light at the edges has not been completely absorbed, and some light has escaped.
If this territory could truly expand without limit, Orochimaru had already foreseen the future of this planet: a utterly desolate, ultimate hell where no living being could survive.
Even creatures capable of surviving in the coldest and most brutal environments cannot survive in such a desperate situation, because it's not a matter of cold, but rather that something is clinging to you and sucking your blood.
"Fortunately, it hasn't reached the level of an absolute black body yet. Otherwise, it would be a real problem. If such a large area had reached the level of an absolute black body, even the legendary Sage of Six Paths, if resurrected, probably wouldn't have been able to break in and see Uchiha Tsuki.
Orochimaru shook his head, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. Orochimaru didn't know if the legendary Sage of Six Paths actually existed or how powerful he was, but he knew that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, or at least that the Rinnegan existed.
However, even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan and considered himself a super strong man of the new world, had no way to deal with Uchiha Tsuki. He even tried to hide and rely on sleeping, like a tortoise god, to wear Uchiha Tsuki down. Who says that living a long life doesn't make you a hero? Who says that a tortoise can't be a god?
Mangekyou Sharingan... well, Uchiha Tsuki's strength is terrifying. Orochimaru originally wanted to say that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was terrifying, but after thinking about Uchiha Madara, who also had no way to deal with Uchiha Tsuki, well, never mind.
What Orochimaru didn't know was that when Uchiha Tsukuyomi first awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he didn't even have this so-called domain around him. This so-called domain was more like Uchiha Tsukuyomi's hunting range, and he would absorb all the energy within this domain.
Moreover, it wasn't so dim and dark at the beginning. When Nagato and the others were instantly killed by Uchiha Tsuki, they could even barely see Uchiha Tsuki's blurry figure.
Now, all they can do is stand on the edge, staring blankly at the darkness before them.
"Let me see the rate at which this area absorbs energy."
Orochimaru pondered. Of course, he couldn't go himself; Jiraiya's fate was a lesson he had learned. He simply created a shadow clone and had it take him to test the waters.
The shadow clone entered the desolate domain and vanished within seconds. Yes, vanished, not dispelled. This was not an attack, but a draining of chakra. If the normal vanishing of a shadow clone is the destruction of its structure, then this absorption is like drinking a beverage. Without damaging the overall structure of the shadow clone, it drains it dry until the remaining chakra can no longer form a human body.
In fact, because all the chakra that made up the shadow clone was absorbed, Orochimaru didn't even receive the memories of the shadow clone. Helpless, he had to create another shadow clone. This time, the shadow clone only hovered at the edge for a while before suddenly jumping out just as it was about to dissipate, allowing Orochimaru to receive the memories.
After receiving the memories of the shadow clone, Orochimaru's eyes showed immense fear. In those memories, once his shadow clone entered, the chakra within his body flowed wildly like water, and there was absolutely no way to stop it.
Then, Orochimaru carefully inserted one of his own penises inside.
After comparison, he found that if the physical body entered, the chakra loss rate would be slower, but only slightly slower. No matter what methods Orochimaru used, he could not stop the loss of chakra in his body.
"It seems what the leaders said was true. The ninja world is in big trouble. That damned Shimura Danzo, that damned old bastard, of all people to mess with, he had to provoke the Uchiha clan. Now look what's happened, he's lost his life and almost caused Konoha to be destroyed. Now he's going to drag the whole world down with him."
Orochimaru looked at the still slowly expanding, desolate territory and felt truly distressed. He was doing well with his research, but he was no longer a member of Konoha and had defected. Good heavens, now Shimura Danzo had caused him such a huge disaster. What a death knell!
"Fortunately, the organization still has a way out, otherwise even I would have been left to wait for death in despair. I did not expect that the Uchiha Moon would engulf the entire planet with its destructive power."
Admittedly, it seems impossible for a mere pair of Mangekyou Sharingan to destroy the ninja world, but they dare not gamble on it. As long as this domain continues to expand and grow, they dare not take the risk.
It's like going to a comic convention, and the next day news breaks that a biohazard outbreak occurred at the convention you attended. Even though you saw the other party's medical certificate yesterday, would you dare gamble that you won't get infected? Wouldn't you still obediently go to the hospital for a checkup?
Who would dare gamble on something that endangers their life?
