Chapter 173 - God

As the voice fell, the vigilant Black Zetsu suddenly felt uneasy.

"Go, quickly!" Black Zetsu shouted at White Zetsu, as the lurking technique was controlled by the latter.

"Huh? What?" As a monster casually extracted from the Gedo Statue, White Zetsu's intellect was obviously somewhat lacking. Under Black Zetsu's anxious shouting, he merely scratched his head in confusion.

"You idiot!" Black Zetsu gave White Zetsu no time to react. He directly used Yin-Yang Release to forcibly seize control of the body, manipulating White Zetsu to perform the lurking technique.

Immediately, Zetsu's figure instantly merged into the ground where they stood.

However... even though Black Zetsu's reaction was swift enough... it was already late...

In Black Zetsu's blank mind, the figure of a white-haired woman suddenly appeared.

"Is this the place..." Black Zetsu could clearly hear the voice emitted by that woman. It seemed as though this person had arisen from his own thoughts.

Yet, she was completely uncontrolled by his will.

Black Zetsu tried hard to shift his thinking to other things, to make this woman disappear from his mind... but found... he was completely unable to do so.

What is going on?

Black Zetsu did not understand.

In his mind at this moment, there was only the figure of that white-haired woman.

He was thinking of her uncontrollably.

Even though he had never met this person...

"If this is the place... then..." the white-haired woman muttered in Black Zetsu's consciousness space.

Suddenly, she stepped forward.

She walked within the blank consciousness space.

As her footsteps progressed, this consciousness space actually began to fill with color, and images emerged one by one.

And in Black Zetsu's mind, scenes that felt familiar to him began to surface involuntarily.

At the same time, Black Zetsu was startled. These scenes... were all things he had experienced...

That meant... this woman who had rashly appeared in his mind was reading his memories??!!

There is such a technique??

Black Zetsu could not comprehend it. He had never seen such a technique that forcibly invaded another's heart to pry into everything since he was born!

Didn't this mean that all his secrets would be pried into by the other party?

A look of horror appeared on Black Zetsu's face.

The memories were still rewinding... traversing through scenes one by one...

Black Zetsu's memory was like a book, being flipped through casually in the hands of the white-haired woman.

He had not the slightest ability to resist.

"Found it."

Suddenly, the white-haired woman stopped moving and stood within a scene where two people were talking.

One was Black Zetsu, and the other was impressively Lexon.

In Black Zetsu's mind, the scene of his conversation with Lexon from a few years ago surfaced uncontrollably.

The scene became gradually clear... gradually distinct...

The memory of the dialogue was emerging...

The minute details became even clearer...

Even the surrounding scenery that Black Zetsu hadn't noted down became unusually clear.

"Let's make a deal. You help me get to the moon, and I'll help you unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Lexon's voice rang out; these were words he had once exchanged with Black Zetsu.

The white-haired woman stood quietly between Black Zetsu and Lexon, like an invisible person, existing in the cracks of the space, unprobed and unknown.

"Is what you say true or false?"

Black Zetsu's unusually low voice emerged.

"Instead of doubting so much, why not trust me? I know so much, yet I haven't obstructed or exposed your plan; isn't that good proof?"

"Hold on to that thought."

The white-haired woman quietly watched Black Zetsu verifying the truth of Lexon's words...

Until the conversation between Lexon and Black Zetsu approached its end.

"It's fine. You tell me the location. It's good for me to go up to the moon and cause some harassment. If I can weaken their combat power, I'll weaken their combat power."

Lexon's voice continued to resound.

The white-haired woman sensed from her ability that next was the moment when that fellow with the black body would speak the location of the "Earth-Moon transmission point."

Thus, she listened carefully.

In the memory, Black Zetsu nodded in response to Lexon, opening his mouth to speak the location of the "Earth-Moon transmission point"...

But then... this memory image seemed to suffer some chaotic error.

Black Zetsu clearly opened and closed his mouth and said some words, yet no sound came out.

The white-haired woman's face showed some confusion.

Immediately, she rewound this memory point slightly.

"It's fine. You tell me the location. It's good for me to go up to the moon and cause some harassment. If I can weaken their combat power, I'll weaken their combat power."

Lexon's words asking Black Zetsu to state the "Earth-Moon transmission point" rang out again.

Black Zetsu nodded, opened and closed his mouth, saying something.

But.

Just like before, no sound was emitted.

What happened?

The white-haired woman frowned slightly.

Was there a problem with her ability?

Next, her hands waved.

Some seemingly nonexistent threads jumped back and forth between her slender fingers.

She was like an artist focused on her work, constantly adjusting something.

After a period of repair, she rewound to that time point again.

"It's fine. You tell me the location. It's good for me to go up to the moon and cause some harassment. If I can weaken their combat power, I'll weaken their combat power."

This was already the third time Lexon's voice had spoken these words.

Black Zetsu also nodded for the third time, his mouth opening and closing: "If you want to go to the moon, go to the Hidden..."

Finally, Black Zetsu's voice emerged, no longer just a simple opening and closing of the mouth without sound.

"Hidden... Hidden..."

However, in the next instant, there was a problem with the voice Black Zetsu emitted again; it gradually stuttered, unable to continue speaking.

Subsequently, even the stuttering sound disappeared... Black Zetsu's voice failed to come out again.

Seeing this, the white-haired woman locked her brows tight.

She had already made adjustments, yet it was still like this...

Where was the problem?

She didn't quite understand.

In previous plot worlds, her ability had always been successful...

Only creatures that did not possess memories could be unaffected by her.

Even the most powerful creatures she had seen so far, she could forcibly pry into for a short time.

But why was there a problem now?

Clearly, this black fellow's strength wasn't that high...

The white-haired woman once again pulled the seemingly nonexistent threads in her fingers, and the entire memory space slowly reorganized with the plucking of the threads.

After the reorganization was complete, sweat faintly seeped from the white-haired woman's forehead.

Obviously, such an action was not easy for her.

Next, she pulled the memory period to Lexon's question again.

Start.

She pulled the threads one last time, letting the memory image flow.

There shouldn't be any problems this time...

The white-haired woman thought in her heart.

She looked at the fellow who was called "Uchiha Lexon" in this black fellow's memory.

Next, it should be this fellow's inquiry...

But when the white-haired woman shifted her gaze to "Uchiha Lexon," she suddenly discovered...

That person... was not looking at the black fellow asking the question as in the previous memory images at all!

Instead, he actually turned his face toward her, his eyes staring straight at her!

"What are you doing?"

The white-haired woman heard an indifferent inquiry.

Immediately, the body of Lexon before her eyes suddenly floated into the air. His skin turned abruptly white, and a white feather robe replaced the attire on his body. Eight pitch-black spheres emerged, circling around him, and a pitch-black shakujo was revealed in his hand, gripped tightly by him.

His entire being radiated an incomparably ethereal aura, making him difficult to touch.

The gaze watching the white-haired woman was extremely cold.

Like a god looking down upon the mortal world.
