...
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Goku put away the golden Asgard spaceship into a box and looked at those lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki coming to surround and kill him.
Goku scratched his head and kicked them away one by one with a single kick each.
He originally intended to have a friendly chat with the Ōtsutsuki Clan here and tell them not to plant the God Tree and destroy Planets anymore.
He never expected that the Ōtsutsuki Clan here would be so unreasonable, attempting to capture him right off the bat, leaving him with no choice but to fight back helplessly.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, forcing me to do it myself."
Seeing that his subordinates were all knocked down in the blink of an eye, the leading high-ranking Ōtsutsuki immediately wore a displeased expression on his face.
Even though they were mere lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki, failing to even defeat such low-level life forms from a Planet made them far too useless.
Releasing the pupil power of his yellow left eye, the leading high-ranking Ōtsutsuki's body size instantly doubled as he threw a punch toward Goku.
Those who could become high-ranking Ōtsutsuki had at least one eye that had evolved.
For example, the Black Eye, Rinnegan, Tenseigan, etc.
The eye he evolved was called the Power Eye, and its ability was relatively singular yet very practical: doubling his strength.
"Boom!"
With a single kick, the leading high-ranking Ōtsutsuki immediately followed in his subordinates' footsteps, heavily injured and passing out on the ground.
"Ōtsutsuki Hayato, I didn't expect you to still be so reckless."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki scoffed inwardly as he looked at the fallen leading high-ranking Ōtsutsuki.
As one of the prominent experts of the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the past, he naturally recognized that Ōtsutsuki below; with those garbage evolved eyes, even at full power, he was at best on par with Isshiki's second phase.
It was completely normal that he couldn't beat Goku.
However, although he recognized the other party, he hadn't spoken up to reveal his identity just now, keeping silent all along and playing the invisible man.
Even though he felt that after Otsutsuki Shibai transcended, there shouldn't be many people left in the Ōtsutsuki who could beat Goku.
But it was impossible for him to bet everything on Goku either.
If Goku failed and was killed, he would immediately run away; as long as his identity wasn't exposed, he would still have a chance to return to the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the future.
Anyway, he currently looked like the human Jigen; as long as he didn't activate his second state and full state, no one else would recognize him.
For him, whoever won between Goku and the Ōtsutsuki, he could profit from it.
If Goku won, he had hopes of taking control of the entire Ōtsutsuki.
If the Ōtsutsuki won, he could continue returning to his previous Planet to plant the God Tree and harvest fruits.
"Lord Hayato was actually defeated in a single Move!"
The remaining lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki who rushed over nearby were also startled to see that even with high-ranking Ōtsutsuki Hayato at full power, he was killed by the enemy in a single Move.
They immediately reported the situation here via Chakra and desperately launched an attack toward Goku.
Lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki had been brainwashed since childhood and had always been loyal to high-ranking Ōtsutsuki.
Even if it meant actively marching to their deaths, as long as it was for the high-ranking Ōtsutsuki, they wouldn't resist in the slightest.
Someone like Otsutsuki Kaguya belonged to an extremely rare few.
This was also the reason why Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't have any guard against Otsutsuki Kaguya back then.
"So weak! So weak! All of them are so weak!"
Goku batted away the lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki guards blocking the road one by one, shook his head with some disappointment, and continued flying deeper into the palace.
"Audacious!"
At that moment, a shout rang out as three figures blocked Goku's path.
The leader had Byakugan in both eyes, but each palm also had a red Rinnegan.
Of the two standing behind, one had a stalwart figure and wielded a red energy giant axe.
The other was thin and frail, yet possessed a blue Rinnegan.
"It's Momoshiki, Gin, and Urashiki, but they still aren't his match."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki recognized the identities of the three at a glance.
Momoshiki and Urashiki were high-ranking Ōtsutsuki just like him; Momoshiki excelled at combat and his strength wasn't inferior to Isshiki's, while Urashiki wasn't good at combat, but his Rinnegan abilities were extremely troublesome.
As for Gin, he was Momoshiki's lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki, and his strength belonged to the top tier among lower-ranking Ōtsutsuki, approaching that of an average high-ranking Ōtsutsuki.
Unfortunately, recalling Goku's strength in instantly killing him with a single slap after transforming into a Great Ape earlier, he didn't hold high hopes for the three of them at all.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the battle was over.
"Devouring your own companion, you're so wicked!"
Goku killed Momoshiki on the spot with a single Ki Blast.
Gin's strength was average, and Goku could easily crush him in his normal state right now.
Urashiki was a bit troublesome because his blue Rinnegan possessed the ability of time reversion.
It allowed himself to return from the current time point to a few seconds ago, thereby seeing the enemy's Moves in advance and finding the safest way to respond.
It was a good ability, but unfortunately his own strength was too poor, so even if he knew Goku's Moves, he couldn't dodge them.
In the end, he was heavily injured and knocked to the ground by a single punch from Goku.
Momoshiki's strength was quite good, and Goku in his normal state truly couldn't take him down.
Thus, Goku directly opened the Eight Gates up to the Seventh Gate, multiplying his strength sixfold and shattering Momoshiki in one fell swoop.
Compared to Giant Magic and Great Ape Transformation, the advantage of the Eight Gates was that it could maintain his physique unchanged.
Having too large a figure would ultimately affect flexibility and make him an easy target for focused fire, making it difficult to dodge attacks.
Opening the Seventh Gate posed almost no burden to Goku now that he possessed the Yin Seal.
Therefore, unless it was an overly strong enemy, whenever he increased his strength now, it was either doubling it with the Breathing Style or multiplying it sixfold by opening the Seventh Gate.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Momoshiki, who had been shattered by Goku, turned Gin into a Chakra fruit and devoured him.
Consequently, his eyes, palms, and glabella all evolved into golden Rinnegan, drastically increasing his strength.
Unfortunately, he still wasn't the match of Goku, who had opened the Seventh Gate.
Seeing that Momoshiki actually ate his own companion, Goku became extremely furious and ruthlessly beat Momoshiki to death.
After Isshiki fully burst out, his strength was ten times stronger than Goku's normal state at that time, while Momoshiki in his normal state was about on par with Isshiki.
Now, having devoured Gin and activated the golden Rinnegan, his strength had massively increased, and should be equivalent to fifteen times Goku's original normal state back then.
But after a month and a half of training, Goku's strength in his current normal state had tripled compared to back then.
Coupled with the sixfold magnification of the Eight Gates, his strength was eighteen times that of back then.
Therefore, his overall strength was still much higher than Momoshiki's.
As for Momoshiki's various Ninjutsu and abilities, Goku had even more Ninjutsu and magic, winning quite easily.
Having resolved Momoshiki, Gin, and Urashiki who blocked the way, and also dealt with all the remaining high-ranking Ōtsutsuki who rushed over,
Goku finally arrived at the very center of the Ōtsutsuki palace, inside the most luxurious palace where the king resided.
"The tenth God Tree fruit has finally been digested, time to eat the last one.
Once this fruit is digested as well, I'll send people to look for Isshiki and Kaguya and see why they haven't sent the God Tree fruit back by now."
At this moment, the king of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Ōtsutsuki Kenjin, was preparing to swallow the last fruit on the plate.
Suddenly receiving a message, he abruptly stood up from his seat.
"How dare you break into the palace of our Ōtsutsuki Clan! I want to see what kind of background you really have!"
After Otsutsuki Shibai transcended, ten out of the eleven God Tree fruits collected by the Ōtsutsuki had already gone into his belly.
His current strength was simply incomparable to ordinary high-ranking Ōtsutsuki.
Therefore, even if the opponent easily defeated the rest of the high-ranking Ōtsutsuki and broke through to the front of the palace, he didn't think the opponent was his match.
