Ino felt that this Priest had not only seen through her Transformation Technique but also pinpointed her identity as someone from the future. Who the hell was this guy?
He looked like a fisherman who came up empty-handed every day, really nothing amazing about him.
Could he just be talking nonsense?
After the other party's group left, Ino waited a while before packing up her fishing rod and creel. Continuing to maintain the Konatsian appearance of strange pupils and pointed ears, she walked slowly toward the city like a local. "Since you invited me, I'll go take a look."
Planet Konats could be considered rich in resources with a comfortable climate.
The inhabitants moved vigorously and were skilled in martial arts, music, dance, and painting. They were considered a relatively peaceful race.
What attracted Ino most about the Konatsians was their music. The melodies were beautiful, the rhythm soothing, and the tunes filled with emotion. It seemed they played with their souls. No matter who it was or what mood they were in, they could find what they craved in the music. This race was full of natural-born musicians.
However, the total population of Konats was small. Even the capital city didn't look like it had many more people than Konoha Village.
The scene of singing and dancing was lively. Ino tried her best to maintain the principle of not interacting with people of this space-time. Like an onlooker, she looked here and strolled there. She couldn't understand what was so good about the Konatsian song and dance, but when everyone applauded, she just followed suit and applauded.
Just as she was wondering when this celebration would end, a black column of light visible to the naked eye suddenly shot into the sky.
Amidst the atmosphere of fireworks, colorful flags, and cheerful music, everyone was a bit at a loss when such a thing suddenly popped up.
The bright sky was instantly dyed black. In the darkness, blood-red flowers seemed to bloom. Subsequently, screams rose one after another throughout the capital. Several Konatsians tried to flee the black fog but were quickly caught by unknown energy within it. Their flesh and blood were absorbed, turning them into piles of broken bones.
Soon, in a corner as black as ink, a colossal figure slowly stood up.
Holy crap! Seeing this scene, Ino was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this thing? Appearing before her eyes was a humanoid phantom standing over a hundred meters tall. Judging by its appearance, this monster had two horns on its head and pitch-black eyes like an abyss. Its body was extremely massive. The energy escaping from around its body leveled the Konatsian houses. Its huge tail whipped out with a sonic boom, and subsequently, an entire city block was destroyed.
Having organized the "First Other World Martial Arts Tournament," Ino could be considered knowledgeable. Through its aura, she could judge that the thing before her was a creature of the Demon Realm that knew only destruction.
Seeming to sense Ino's gaze, the huge Demon Realm creature turned its head to glance at her. Then, its massive tail broke through space, crossing a distance of a thousand meters, and smashed fiercely in her direction.
Ino didn't move a muscle, freezing in place for two seconds. The opponent's undisguised malice directly breached her mental defenses. The God Tree and the rotating sun, moon, and stars in her spiritual world—which she was so proud of—along with the super-strong spiritual power trained on the Grand Kai's Planet, had no resistance in the face of this terrifying consciousness. It didn't even block it for an instant before being submerged by endless malice.
"Big sister, dodge!" The young boy Minotia, whom she had met once, jumped out and tackled her, dodging the demon's tail sweep by a hair's breadth.
The Demon Realm creature opened its huge mouth, emitting a silent roar. Dark red energy with destructive properties gathered together, seemingly wanting to destroy Ino and Minotia together.
"Demon! I won't let you hurt my brother!"
Minotia's older brother, the famous hero Tapion known for ten miles around, bravely jumped out and slashed at the Demon Realm creature's neck with a sword.
The strike, which seemed certain to hit, missed completely. Tapion felt his sword slash into empty air. The massive demon monster vanished into thin air. Before he could react, the enemy strangely appeared behind him, sharp claws stabbing fiercely at Tapion's back.
Can't dodge it! This monster's phasing ability is very weird, and its high speed after teleporting is astonishing!
Tapion drew the Hero's Sword passed down through generations of Konatsians, preparing to use his own life as the price to heavily injure the opponent and buy a chance of survival for his kin and brother.
"Universal Pull!"
At the critical moment, Ino endured the tearing pain in her spiritual world. Her pupil power activated, exerting gravity on Tapion. This Konatsian hero immediately gave up the thought of mutual destruction, followed the gravitational pull, and escaped the range of the demon's claw attack.
"Brother! Are you okay?"
"Minotia? Are you hurt?"
The brothers survived the disaster, both looking incredibly agitated. Ino wasn't excited at all; she only felt fear.
This demon monster was too strong! How strong exactly? She really couldn't tell, only knowing it was countless times stronger than herself! They weren't opponents on the same level at all.
Just a glance from the opponent was unbearable, let alone fighting face-to-face.
"Who are you?" Tapion looked at Ino.
Even though Ino's ninjutsu attainments had long surpassed the limits of the shinobi world, and her Transformation Technique was completely different from what was taught in the Academy after improvements, she had revealed some flaws just now. Plus, Tapion's strength was greater than his clansmen, so he could see the clues at this moment.
"I am a traveler touring various parts of the universe. I heard the Konatsian celebration was lively, so I came to have fun... I think compared to focusing on my identity, the problem you've encountered is obviously more serious. What exactly is this thing? Was the celebration held to summon this guy?" She asked a string of questions.
Minotia also looked at his brother. Tapion looked troubled, but finally decided to tell the truth: "If I'm not mistaken... that is our god. A group of cultists defiled the god's remains with evil magic. They summoned something else from the god's remains, a terrifying Phantom Majin!"
Majin?!
Ino was truly scared out of her wits! This sounded like an enemy she couldn't deal with at her current level.
No need to say more. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best!
Perhaps it was fated that these Konatsians would face genocide today. She didn't need to stick her neck out. Besides, her few tricks were useless in this kind of situation.
Run! She looked up, then was dumbfounded.
Originally, the Konatsians had a no-fly domain. She hadn't wanted to cause war or unnecessary trouble, so she hadn't forced her way through. Now, this no-fly domain was still there, but outside the original domain, there was an additional layer of pitch-black smoke that seemed to have corrosive properties.
This was that Majin's energy. Ino turned to look and saw that Majin tilting its head back like a black chimney, continuously releasing black smoke into the atmosphere.
He viewed all intelligent life on this planet as food and wanted to kill every living being!
How am I supposed to get out of this thing? Force open the Crossing Moon Bridge?
Ino took out the Treasured Tool: Plow. The tool was still in its cooldown period; she couldn't even return to her own time point.
Stall for time and wait for the tool to cool down? Ino racked her brains thinking of a countermeasure.
