Before Otsutsuki Hotaru could find an answer, Uchiha En instantly appeared in front of her, swinging his nodachi at her neck.
"Clang~" In a flash of lightning, another Ōtsutsuki Clan member blocked Uchiha En's attack with a red scimitar.
Uchiha En snorted, switching his Dominator Mode to a form primarily focused on Storm Release.
Uchiha En's speed instantly increased, and he engaged in battle with the Ōtsutsuki Clan member.
The two exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant.
"Crackling~" A flash of lightning streaked by, and this Ōtsutsuki Clan member was sent flying directly.
Otsutsuki Hotaru's pupils constricted at the sight; she hadn't expected an outsider to possess such terrifying power.
"Damn outsider, I'll kill you!" The Ōtsutsuki Clan member who was blasted away immediately flew back and confronted Uchiha En again.
Otsutsuki Hotaru followed suit, and the two of them attacked Uchiha En together.
Facing two powerhouses comparable to Kaguya, Uchiha En dared not be careless. His Dominator Mode switched again, this time primarily focusing on Kekkei Mōra.
Various Bloodline Limits were wielded effortlessly by Uchiha En. Coupled with the immense power of Dominator Mode, the two Ōtsutsuki Clan powerhouses were suppressed by Uchiha En.
The more they fought, the more alarmed they became.
"Six Paths: Super Frozen Snow!" Uchiha En suddenly unleashed a powerful technique, instantly freezing the Ōtsutsuki Clan powerhouse whose name was unknown.
Uchiha En's nodachi slashed at the ice block, cutting him directly in half.
Even an Ōtsutsuki Clan powerhouse would find this kind of overwhelming force troublesome; recovery would likely take some time. During this period, he could focus all his efforts on Otsutsuki Hotaru.
However, to Uchiha En's surprise, Otsutsuki Hotaru suddenly absorbed the Ōtsutsuki powerhouse who had been cut in half.
A red light flashed, and this Ōtsutsuki Clan member actually transformed into something resembling a fruit.
Otsutsuki Hotaru swallowed the fruit in one gulp.
The next second, Otsutsuki Hotaru's appearance changed.
Otsutsuki Hotaru originally bore some resemblance to Kaguya, but now her appearance suddenly became masculine. A pair of blue Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan appeared on her forehead, and blue light emanated from her eyes, somewhat resembling a Tenseigan.
Behind her, nine red spherical Truth-Seeking Orbs rotated, giving off an unapproachable feeling at first glance, like gazing upon a deity.
"Outsider, you are quite impressive to force me to devour him."
Uchiha En was stunned by Otsutsuki Hotaru's voice; it seemed to have changed, becoming gender-neutral.
After Otsutsuki Hotaru finished speaking, she couldn't help but frown.
Clearly, she hadn't expected such a significant change in herself.
It seemed that directly devouring an Ōtsutsuki Clan powerhouse had a considerable impact on her.
And Uchiha En no longer dared to show the slightest carelessness when facing Otsutsuki Hotaru.
Tenseigan, Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, plus red Chakra crystals similar to Truth-Seeking Orbs—Uchiha En had to be twelve times more vigilant against such an enemy.
At this point, there were only two outcomes: either Otsutsuki Hotaru died, or Uchiha En died.
There was no personal grudge between them, but they carried the fate of two worlds, thus, there could only be one battle.
Otsutsuki Hotaru was also well aware of this. With a thought, one of the red Truth-Seeking Orbs behind her exploded directly. After a blood-red dense fog enveloped her body, she immediately launched an attack on Uchiha En.
A blue light erupted from Otsutsuki Hotaru's right hand, then suddenly elongated and slashed down towards Uchiha En.
Seeing this, Uchiha En immediately condensed the moisture in the air into an ice shield, blocking it above his head.
Otsutsuki Hotaru glanced at the ice shield, sneered, and directly swung the blue light, striking the ice shield.
The blue light contained a special power; cracks appeared on the ice shield upon contact. Otsutsuki Hotaru raised her hand and swung the blue light again. This time, the ice shield couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered into powder.
Uchiha En quickly teleported to the side. The blue light struck the ground of the Ice World, carving out a bottomless crack.
"Hiss~~" Uchiha En gasped, not expecting Otsutsuki Hotaru's casual attack to possess such terrifying power.
Uchiha En's expression became solemn. He formed hand signs, and violent Lightning Release Chakra instantly enveloped his body. Kekkei Mōra created Wood Release + Ice Release, which condensed around Uchiha En's body. A few seconds later, an armor with a Wood Release base covered by ice and snow appeared on Uchiha En.
Then, the Lightning Release Chakra and the armor gradually fused, and Uchiha En's armor turned blue-purple.
Lightning Release Armor + Ice Wood Armor, this was the strongest defense Uchiha En could currently create.
Otsutsuki Hotaru immediately noticed the armor on Uchiha En. She frowned, and a red Truth-Seeking Orb floated to her right hand. Then the Truth-Seeking Orb shattered, and the blue light was enveloped in a red film.
Uchiha En's expression grew increasingly serious. He felt a strong threat from this light; if not handled properly, he might die!
Thinking of this, Uchiha En no longer hesitated. Ice mist began to emerge around his body. This ice mist was created by the fusion of Nijo's Chakra and his Eye power in Dominator Mode, and its temperature was infinitely close to absolute zero.
As soon as the ice mist appeared, the time around it seemed to stagnate.
Uchiha En manipulated the ice mist to slowly converge into the shape of a sword. The moment it formed, the ice mist froze space, transforming space into its sword body, and finally, Lightning Release Chakra was wrapped around the sword body.
Uchiha En's will moved, and the ice mist sword, imbued with Lightning Release Chakra, flew towards the Ōtsutsuki Clan leader.
Otsutsuki Hotaru did not retreat. She controlled the red and blue light to directly confront the ice mist sword.
The collision between the two caused the entire Ice World to tremble. The ice mist sword in front of Otsutsuki Hotaru began to melt at a visible speed, while in the space around the ice mist sword, Otsutsuki Hotaru's power was frozen into sparkling snowflakes, falling down.
Uchiha En took a deep breath, and a Rasengan appeared in his right hand. This Rasengan rotated slowly, and Uchiha En's Eye power, Chakra, Natural Energy, everything slowly integrated into the Rasengan with the rotation.
Nijo also integrated all the Chakra she had collected over the years through Daikokuten into the Rasengan.
With the convergence of these powers, a massive Rasengan appeared in Uchiha En's hand.
This attack was the strongest Uchiha En could unleash; it would definitely be impossible to do it a second time in a short period.
Uchiha En instantly teleported next to Otsutsuki Hotaru, who was confronting the ice mist sword, and slammed the giant Rasengan down on her.
Otsutsuki Hotaru's face changed drastically as she felt the terrifying power contained within this Rasengan. She controlled the seven Truth-Seeking Orbs behind her to block in front of her.
The Rasengan and the Truth-Seeking Orbs collided, surprisingly without sound or energy fluctuations. The two powers eroded each other while simultaneously repairing the damage they caused to each other.
Soon, the first red Truth-Seeking Orb shattered, and the volume of the Ice and Snow Rasengan also shrunk a bit, followed by the second, and the third. By the time the seventh Truth-Seeking Orb shattered, the Rasengan's volume was only the size of a baby's fist.
But in the end, Uchiha En won.
Uchiha En slammed the Rasengan onto Otsutsuki Hotaru. In an instant, a huge burst of energy erupted. Otsutsuki Hotaru's face changed drastically, and the dense fog around her began to fluctuate violently.
Uchiha En didn't want to take such a violent explosion head-on, so he immediately chose to teleport away.
The Rasengan's explosion lasted for more than ten seconds, which felt as long as ten years to Uchiha En.
Finally, with the end of the explosion, the dense fog around Otsutsuki Hotaru transformed into tiny, crystal-like glass particles, falling from the sky.
Otsutsuki Hotaru's body was now only half-remaining, and that half was also frozen into an ice sculpture.
