"How is that possible? Who exactly are you?!"
Before Obito could speak, Black Zetsu was the first to cry out in surprise, leaving Obito completely astonished.
He had never seen this strange black creature exhibit such massive emotional fluctuations. Also, is there something strange about this woman's identity?
Although Hancock's Chakra intensity made Uchiha Obito feel a sense of dread, Uchiha Obito didn't think that sheer powerful Chakra was the reason Black Zetsu was screaming—Chakra doesn't represent absolute strength. Uchiha Madara's Chakra was definitely inferior to the Nine-Tailed, yet he could still make the Nine-Tailed roll on the ground with a single glance.
"Hmm!? So it's you, the creation of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki inside my body." Hancock tilted her head and said, "I really didn't recognize you after you took on a humanoid form!"
It must be known that Vegapunk and Hancock's Journey through Parallel Dimensions brought many rewards, including Black Zetsu, whom Vegapunk had sealed.
However, the sealed Black Zetsu at that time looked like a black rubber ball or a Sludge Monster, completely different from the Yin-Yang Face Mode he currently adopted after merging with White Zetsu, which is why Hancock hadn't reacted immediately.
"Inside your body!? Wait! What did you do to Mama?! You lunatic, you maniac! How dare you seal Mama inside your body like some lowly Tailed Beast!"
Black Zetsu paused briefly, connected Hancock's words, and sensed the aura of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki emanating from her. He suddenly realized the truth and immediately began screaming like a madman.
While screaming, Black Zetsu lunged forward, only to be met by Hancock's impatient hand, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki. With a slap to the head and a loud thump, Black Zetsu's entire head exploded amid a horrifying shriek.
Obito, who had just been startled by Black Zetsu's behavior, was completely dumbfounded. What just happened? Did this guy throw the fight that quickly?
Although Obito had guessed from Black Zetsu's strange actions that the creature was hiding many things from him, Black Zetsu was still a helper when facing a formidable enemy. He never expected the creature to just sacrifice himself like that!
However, Black Zetsu was not so easy to kill. Even though the Conqueror's Haki from the One Piece World has absolute lethality against energy forms and other special states, scattering Black Zetsu into black mud spots, the spots on the ground still managed to gather together, reforming Black Zetsu.
In contrast, the White Zetsu that Black Zetsu had been possessing had its head smashed to pieces and naturally could not recover.
The recovered Black Zetsu immediately calmed down, no longer daring to charge forward thoughtlessly as he had before. Even though his life form was special, if he took a few more slaps infused with Conqueror's Haki, his self-awareness would definitely be scattered, causing him to dissipate into a ball of Chakra.
After a brief moment of silence, Uchiha Obito finally forced himself to ask, "Who exactly are you?"
"You dare to invade my beloved's laboratory without even recognizing me? It seems the guts of you little mice are truly immense!"
Hancock sneered, reached out, and condensed a ball of Yin Release Chakra. She lightly pointed at Uchiha Obito, and the ball of Chakra immediately entered Uchiha Obito's body.
Uchiha Obito felt the nearly depleted Chakra in his body rapidly recover, and his Ocular Power instantly regained more than half its strength. Moments later, his eyes, which had been dim and aching from forcibly draining power, had completely recovered their vision.
Even the constantly bleeding wound where a patch of his scalp had been sliced off was completely healed, though since he lacked hair there, he now had a bald spot.
Taking a long breath, Obito's expression was extremely serious. This was the first time he felt the situation had completely exceeded his control.
Originally relying on his theatrical deceptions and Uchiha Madara's reputation, Uchiha Obito's execution of his plan, while not entirely smooth sailing, had certainly never encountered any major setbacks.
While this made Uchiha Obito arrogant, his mental resilience when facing true setbacks hadn't actually improved much, and now he was somewhat at a loss for words.
Should he claim to be Uchiha Madara? In this situation, that wouldn't scare the opponent. Stripping away that layer of profound mystique would only make the opponent see him as a clown.
As for other grand plans like the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan or collecting Tailed Beasts, they were out of the question. The Naruto World has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak, and the first requirement for making others listen to you is to beat them into submission!
"Fine, I admit defeat this time! You can tell me what you want to do. Since you didn't kill us immediately, you must want me to work for you!"
Obito gritted his teeth and said this, no longer attempting to enter the Kamui Dimension in front of Hancock. With his intelligence exposed, he didn't believe the opponent lacked the means to counter Space-Time Ninjutsu.
At the same time, the only reason he could think of for why the opponent hadn't killed him immediately was this: he was quite proud of his Kamui ability. Compared to ordinary Space-Time Ninjutsu, Kamui was undoubtedly far more useful.
"Don't overestimate yourself. I only want to Warm-up..."
Hancock showed a look of disdain: "If you can survive my attack, I wouldn't mind using little mice like you. After all, you creatures of the gutter are occasionally somewhat useful!"
"You..."
Uchiha Obito was both shocked and enraged, but Hancock had already moved without hesitation!
Compared to the Mechanical Warriors in the Experimental Base, Uchiha Obito's strength wasn't particularly high, but fortunately, Hancock didn't need to hold back at all—she genuinely intended to beat him to death!
With a casual push, a pillar of Chakra light erupted. Uchiha Obito barely managed to dodge, scrambling away, but a bit of the Chakra still touched his sleeve.
A cracking sound rang out, and Uchiha Obito was horrified to find that his sleeves had completely turned to stone, shattering onto the floor with a light shake.
What kind of ability was this? Uchiha Obito looked back at the metal wall, which had turned to stone after being struck by the pillar of light, feeling a chill creep into his heart.
Hancock's Petrification Ability is notoriously difficult to deal with in any world, and after merging her Chakra ability with her Devil Fruit ability, it is practically unsolvable.
Normally, Hancock never used this ability during training because, in addition to petrification, the Chakra also carries a certain impact force. Anything it touches basically turns directly into broken stone, offering no chance of reversal.
