The three tomoe that had been quietly standing still now seemed to have been granted life, spinning and intertwining flexibly before finally converging into a time disk brimming with mysterious charm.
This time disk appeared to contain endless mysteries and power, drawing anyone who gazed upon it into an involuntary trance.
Roy quickly took out a mirror from beside him, his gaze locking tightly onto the pair of eyes shimmering with strange light in the reflection.
When he saw the mysterious Mangekyō pattern in those eyes, he couldn't help but pause briefly, a surge of indescribable surprise rising in his heart.
This newly awakened ability seemed to have countless connections to time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the new power surging within him, and a hint of surprise and curiosity arose in his heart.
Then, taking a deep breath, he began to explore and comprehend the unique abilities bestowed upon him by this Mangekyō Sharingan.
After some effort and experimentation, he gradually uncovered the mysteries hidden within these eyes.
"The power of time?" Roy couldn't hide his ecstasy; this was an invaluable treasure.
Time is supreme, space is sovereign.
This saying was widely circulated in various novels from his previous life, and his Mangekyō Sharingan had actually granted him the divine ability to control time.
In a sense, time's priority even surpassed that of space.
This surprise meant he would possess an unparalleled advantage on the path ahead.
"Moreover, this ability is incredibly practical."
Roy murmured to himself, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
After several tests, he had learned the ability of his left eye: it could accelerate time and also decelerate it.
His right eye, even more remarkably, could capture a specific moment, freeze it, solidify it, and even reverse the flow of time to restore everything to a previous state.
This ability, almost akin to defying fate, filled Roy with excitement.
Of course, behind such immense power lay a tremendous cost.
Roy extended a finger and tapped lightly; the ground ahead was instantly pierced, forming a deep pit.
Then, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye spun wildly, and a surge of mysterious power gushed forth.
The pierced earth began to reverse, gradually returning to its original state, as if time were flowing backwards.
However, while using this ability, Roy clearly felt his dojutsu power draining at an alarming rate.
It was a sensation that nearly emptied him of strength, even showing a tendency to consume his life force.
Fortunately, the power of Yang Release within him emerged promptly, rapidly replenishing his depleted energy, which prevented him from falling into a state of weakness.
"The consumption is indeed significant," Roy frowned slightly, sighing inwardly. But then he became philosophical: "It's fortunate that my body now essentially combines the strength of the Senju and Uchiha clans; otherwise, I really couldn't withstand such consumption."
Roy began to delve into the limits of his current abilities.
He discovered that accelerating or decelerating time in his immediate surroundings consumed relatively little dojutsu power.
However, when it came to the heaven-defying operation of time reversal, the consumption of dojutsu power multiplied. Particularly when the space affected by the time reversal contained living beings, the consumption of dojutsu power was terrifyingly immense.
Despite this, Roy was still incredibly satisfied with his abilities.
He knew this power over time was exceptionally strong, even possessing the potential to surpass his Glint-Glint Fruit.
Furthermore, as his eyes evolved—from Mangekyō to Eternal Mangekyō, and eventually to the Rinnegan—this temporal power was bound to become even more formidable and terrifying.
"Progressing like this, the Eternal Mangekyō might be achievable quite soon."
Feeling the power continuously surging within his eyes, even though he lacked a pair of eyes to fuse, nurturing the Eternal Mangekyō would not be difficult under the nourishment of the Divine Tree's power.
On this trip to the world of Naruto, Roy had already gained enough benefits, and it was time to prepare for his departure.
But suddenly, a commotion sparked Roy's interest.
His Observation Haki had been monitoring the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and now, significant turmoil was coming from within the Hokage Building.
"You will regret this, Koharu, Homura."
Danzo was actually still alive, and in Roy's perception, his overall aura seemed to have strengthened a tiny bit.
"This guy was eroded by Hashirama's cells to that extent and still survived?"
Roy was somewhat surprised. Danzo had already entered a state of aberration back then, yet apparently managed to endure it. That was truly astonishing.
The "King of Misfortune" of Konoha; in terms of sheer willpower, he was indeed tenacious.
But now, due to the erosion of Hashirama's cells, Danzo's aura was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.
And in front of the two advisors, it was even harder to conceal.
"Danzo, in your current state, how can you serve as the Kage of the village?"
"Jiraiya and Tsunade are both more suitable."
Mitokado Homura's words were almost blunt, but he felt he had no choice. Danzo was gradually becoming less human; though he had survived by chance, his aura was eerily strange due to the cellular mutations in parts of his body.
"Foolish. Only power is eternal."
Danzo angrily slammed the door and left. His dream of becoming Hokage had been shattered once again.
In the distance, Roy sensed this scene and smiled, curious about what surprises Danzo might bring him.
Of course, before leaving, Roy had plenty of things to do.
To nourish the remnants of the Divine Tree, he needed to hunt for Tailed Beast chakra.
For now, however, he wouldn't completely kill the Tailed Beasts, as he still planned to wait for Black Zetsu and the others to summon the Divine Tree before swooping in to claim the prize.
His first objective now was to head to the Land of Lightning and seize the chakra of the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.
But just as Roy was on his way to the Land of Lightning, he suddenly sensed new activity in the chat group, which he knew generally signified the addition of new members.
However, upon seeing them, Roy was somewhat shocked.
[Ding, Zhao Kongcheng has joined the group chat.]
[Ding, Hell Fubuki has joined the group chat.]
Although these two individuals were not powerful in terms of their own strength, the power levels of their respective worlds were terrifying.
"It's hard to say whether this is a pleasant surprise or a shock."
Setting aside the One Punch Man world for a moment, it was a place where characters could erupt with power unpredictably, and no one could comprehend the theoretical upper limit of that bald man.
The world of Slay the Gods was even more extreme.
Based on his current strength, he should be around the peak Klein level to the weak Demigod stage.
This seemed impressive in the early stages, but later on, it would truly be a situation where Chief Gods were common, Demigods were as numerous as dogs, and one wouldn't even dare speak without reaching the Supreme God level.
The ceiling of the entire Slay the Gods world was infinitely raised.
In the later stages, his own strength might barely be enough to be a mere cannon fodder.
