Precisely due to this consideration, Shinji temporarily released the seal, releasing the Ten-Tails from his body.
The Ten-Tails was inherently a weapon for the Otsutsuki clan to plunder planetary energy.
If a planet's energy was sufficiently abundant, the Divine Tree transformed from the Ten-Tails could bear a 'Chakra Fruit' sufficient for a 'Six Paths Level' Otsutsuki to promote to 'Kekkei Mōra'!
Back then, Kaguya Otsutsuki could become the Ninja World's 'Chakra Progenitor', promoting to 'Kekkei Mōra' surpassing 'Six Paths Level' comprehensively in one fell swoop, relying precisely on that 'Chakra Fruit' borne by the Divine Tree after absorbing Ninja World's energy.
'T33's energy was definitely not as strong as the Ninja World's, but this didn't hinder Shinji from snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
Moreover, Shinji also wanted to use this opportunity to understand how the Ten-Tails, or rather the Divine Tree, absorbed planetary energy, what its working principle was.
In Shinji's view, to completely subdue the Ten-Tails, simple sealing and deterrence were inappropriate. Only by understanding the essence of the Ten-Tails and knowing it like the back of his hand could he achieve true subdual of the Ten-Tails, taking it for his own use.
As for how long the Divine Tree could absorb in this 'T33', Shinji couldn't assert at present. But if he temporarily guest-starred as the 'Lampbearer' of this world, he was confident in blocking the Propagation Hegemon outside the spatial barrier for at least a year.
Soon, Hengo discussed the investigation plan with Alice.
Alice would be responsible for luring away the flesh puppets near the Divine Tree, then Hengo would be responsible for approaching reconnaissance, transmitting the intelligence of the Divine Tree out.
Just as the two prepared to strike, Shinji said: "Count me in!"
The two looked sideways simultaneously. Alice even said bluntly: "You better think clearly, maybe that giant tree is trickier than flesh puppets!"
Shinji didn't waste words: "Double the reward this time!"
Alice was extremely forthright: "Deal!"
Hengo sized up Shinji seriously.
Obviously, after understanding the mission difficulty, still having such confidence, meant even if the other party was a novice, he was a very formidable novice.
Because the strength of a 'Lampbearer' had little to do with seniority, mainly depending on the power level of the world where the 'Lampbearer' was. Some 'Lampbearers' although novices, due to the high power level of their world, could become experts in the circle as soon as entering.
Soon, the three began to act, while the old man and that black-robed 'Lampbearer' remained on the high cliff.
Shinji's mission was the same as Alice's, both responsible for luring away flesh puppets near the Divine Tree, covering Hengo's close reconnaissance. So Shinji and Alice didn't hide their figures, flying towards the direction of the Divine Tree very high-profilely.
Before the two approached, Alice discovered a large number of flesh puppets wandering near the Divine Tree.
Obviously, the sudden appearance of the Divine Tree also attracted the attention of flesh puppets, attracting a large number of flesh puppets from all directions.
Alice didn't know the inside story, saying solemnly to the communicator: "The number of flesh puppets is more than expected. This giant tree is indeed the Propagation Hegemon's work! Hengo, we might not be able to lure away all flesh puppets. You be careful!"
Hengo's voice soon came from the communicator: "You guys be careful yourselves. I have already uploaded consciousness backup, at most losing another prosthetic body."
Soon, Alice and Shinji approaching the Divine Tree rapidly were discovered by flesh puppets.
Following the prior plan, the two split up rapidly, each luring away several flesh puppets. Meanwhile, Hengo who had been sneaking all along pounced straight towards the Divine Tree from the gap.
However, Hengo obviously underestimated the number of flesh puppets lingering near the Divine Tree.
These flesh puppets were products of the Hegemon's power after all, possessing extremely strong perception capability. When the Divine Tree appeared, to them it was equivalent to an extra diner beside the dining table. So they instinctively gathered beside the Divine Tree, trying to figure out the Divine Tree's details.
Under this circumstance, Hengo crashing in headlong obviously couldn't gain any advantage.
In just a blink of an eye, three or four flesh puppets appeared in front of Hengo again. Large swarms of flying insects attacked him overwhelmingly.
At this time he had no way of retreat long ago. Moreover, he was already prepared to sacrifice the prosthetic body, so he immediately activated all weapon modules on the prosthetic body, meeting the swarm of flying insects.
Rumble...
Instantly, huge rumblings accompanied by dazzling fire lights resounded through the sky!
On the high cliff.
The old man and black-robed 'Lampbearer' witnessing this scene through remote observation instruments shook their heads one after another.
The firepower of Hengo's military prosthetic body was indeed outrageously strong. If only facing one flesh puppet, perhaps he really could kill his way out of the heavy encirclement, approaching the Divine Tree.
Unfortunately blocking him were fully four flesh puppets, and there were continuous flesh puppets rushing towards him nearby. So instantly he was trapped in the endless swarm of flying insects. His military prosthetic body was torn to shreds by the swarm of flying insects before even having time to self-destruct.
"Bad, we are also discovered!"
Seeing the swarm of flying insects attacking towards the high cliff, the old man exclaimed, daring not delay, hurriedly retreating with the black-robed 'Lampbearer'.
A long time later, several people reunited in the private room of the 'Wisher' bar.
Smoking a cigar, Hengo looked depressed: "That giant tree must be the Propagation Hegemon's secret weapon. I couldn't approach at all."
Alice said: "Anyway, we still gained something, at least knowing another means of the Propagation Hegemon!"
That black-robed 'Lampbearer' said: "Give me the reward. This kind of work simply isn't for humans. Don't look for me next time!"
Alice didn't say much, directly giving the agreed 'Embers' to that black-robed 'Lampbearer', then paid double reward 'Embers' to Shinji.
Getting the reward, that black-robed 'Lampbearer' left the private room sensibly.
After only Shinji and the other three remained in the private room, Shinji deliberated for a moment, speaking: "I have a question. What exactly is the use of the information spheres you placed on 'T33'?"
Alice didn't answer.
Hengo and the old man looked at each other, also falling silent.
"Alright, I was presumptuous. I'm leaving first, you guys chat slowly!"
Saying this, Shinji got up preparing to leave.
Just when Shinji walked to the door of the private room, the three seemed to reach some consensus. Alice called out to stop Shinji: "Wait!"
Shinji turned back, waiting for Alice's explanation.
Alice said: "This is one of our attempts, the goal is to eliminate the Hegemon. Only by joining us are you qualified to know the plan."
"Heh, interesting!"
What Shinji waited for was this sentence.
He deliberately participated in the operation in 'T33' before just to integrate into Alice's circle. And now it seemed, he proved through action that he had this qualification...
