World No. 6.
After swallowing the fifth 'Chakra Fruit', Shinji went straight to World No. 6, selected a suitable area, and planted two God Trees.
Only after completing all this did Shinji carefully perceive the various changes the fifth 'Chakra Fruit' brought to his body.
The most obvious change was that his chakra volume skyrocketed again.
Previously, when he activated 'Kamimusubi' and entered the transformation state, he could only maintain it for a few hours. If the battle was too intense, he might not even last that long.
But after consuming two 'Chakra Fruits' in succession, he could easily maintain the 'Kamimusubi' transformation state for a whole day.
In addition, his dojutsu were all strengthened.
The most obvious one was 'Susanoo Tomoshibi'. Originally, his 'Susanoo' only had six pairs of eye sockets. Excluding his own, there were only five spare pairs.
Now, his 'Susanoo's' eye sockets had become nine pairs, and the spare eye sockets increased from five to eight pairs.
In other words, he could control three more pairs of eyes than before.
'Naobi' and 'Magatsu' also improved significantly. He tested them in the Shinobi World; 'Naobi's' communication range could now cover the entire Shinobi World. As long as he wished, he could contact targets marked by his 'Naobi' anywhere in the Shinobi World.
As for 'Magatsu', besides transferring chakra, it could now transfer emotions, dojutsu, and even some combat experience, including muscle memory.
Before leaving the Shinobi World, Shinji used 'Magatsu' to store Karin's 'Amenonuhoko' and Hikari's 'Ama-no-Iwato' on himself, with a storage capacity for about three uses.
As for 'Goshingu', one of Shinji's core dojutsu, the improvement was also very obvious.
His control over 'Goshingu' was becoming more and more precise. This was due to both his deeper understanding of time and his stronger chakra control ability.
Beyond the improvement of various dojutsu, he also discovered that while in the 'Kamimusubi' transformation state, he could further activate his chakra to initiate a second stage of transformation, entering a state similar to Naruto's 'Baryon Mode' in the original timeline.
However, unlike the price Naruto had to pay, Shinji didn't need to pay an extra price to activate this pseudo-'Baryon Mode'; it only consumed a large amount of chakra.
But this was normal!
The essence of 'Baryon Mode' is a fusion mode similar to the sun. It obtains extreme power by 'burning' one's own chakra. It can be simply understood as turning the human body into a nuclear bomb, where every move is a nuclear explosion of the body.
In the original timeline, after consuming the 'Yang Power' gifted by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto couldn't even be counted as 'Six Paths Level'. So the price for him to activate 'Baryon Mode' was extremely high. Either he died or the Nine-Tails inside him died. In short, a main chakra body had to pay with its life for the intense 'burning' of chakra.
Shinji was different.
He was not only a more powerful 'Kekkei Mora' (Bloodline Encompassing), but even within the 'Kekkei Mora' level, he was a figure standing at the peak.
So for him, 'Baryon Mode' was just an extreme application of chakra, a kind of technique!
He could even apply 'Baryon Mode' to ninjutsu or dojutsu, raising their power by a whole level.
"Let's call it 'Divine Sovereign Mode'!"
Shinji gave a name to this second-stage transformation state, which superimposed 'Kamimusubi' and 'Baryon Mode'.
Time passed, and a month flew by in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Shinji not only completely absorbed the energy of the fifth 'Chakra Fruit' but also familiarized himself with all the improvements brought by it.
He was lost again now!
Gazing at the thunder exploding in the distant sky and the swarms of insects gathering and dispersing, he rarely felt an eager impulse to try his hand.
Because he really didn't know how strong he had become, he was eager to find a target to test himself, and currently, the only ones who could be his test subjects were the Hegemons.
Eventually, Shinji suppressed the urge.
Collecting planetary energy was his top priority right now. Because no matter how strong he became, he was definitely still not as strong as a Hegemon; this was beyond doubt, as he hadn't yet touched the 'Kekkei Shinra' (Bloodline of All Creation) above 'Kekkei Mora'.
However, after swallowing the fifth 'Chakra Fruit', he felt he wasn't far from 'Kekkei Shinra'. Perhaps after swallowing the sixth 'Chakra Fruit', he could smoothly advance to 'Kekkei Shinra' and qualify for a fair fight with a Hegemon.
Sitting down cross-legged again, Shinji pondered the upcoming fierce battle with the Bewitching Hegemon.
Because the Bewitching Hegemon would inevitably launch an offensive against Shinji before World No. 6 completely collapsed, just like last time.
In this battle, the longer Shinji resisted, the more planetary energy the two God Trees could absorb. So this time Shinji had to fight with all his might, because this world was his last chance to easily absorb planetary energy.
"Now that I have 'Divine Sovereign Mode', whether it's taijutsu, dojutsu, or ninjutsu, my destructive power has greatly increased. Exterminating those bugs of the Bewitching Hegemon should be much easier!"
The further enhancement of offensive power and the improvement of willpower gave Shinji the courage to confront the Bewitching Hegemon at the moment of the world's collapse.
The only problem now was how to gauge the limit.
If he got too greedy and stayed too long in the crumbling World No. 6, Shinji might not be able to get away and would eventually be completely captured by the Bewitching Hegemon.
Sitting cross-legged atop the God Tree, Shinji thought about countermeasures for the upcoming great battle, while the distant insect swarm also seemed to be brewing a final blow against Shinji.
As time passed, the number of these swarms gathered more and more, and the size of the insects also changed, becoming larger and more hideous than the ones Shinji had seen before.
Undoubtedly.
Shinji wasn't the only one getting stronger. After swallowing five worlds of the 'World Annihilation Society' in succession, the Bewitching Hegemon's strength was also expanding rapidly.
This was despite Shinji interfering and snatching away a lot of energy like stealing food from a tiger's mouth; otherwise, the Bewitching Hegemon's strength would only be stronger.
Precisely because of this, the Bewitching Hegemon hated Shinji to the bone, posturing as if it wanted to fight Shinji to the death!
Time flew, and another dozen days passed in a flash.
At this time, World No. 6 had fallen into the same doomsday scene as the previous five worlds of the 'World Annihilation Society', with landslides, earth fissures, lightning, and thunder everywhere.
The only difference was that this doomsday was filled with overwhelming insect swarms, as if they were going to fill up the entire heaven and earth.
Atop the God Tree, Shinji slowly stood up and whispered: "Here it comes!"
