"Mirai-kun."
With a soft cry, Kushina collapsed weakly against Hyuga Mirai. During this time, she seemed to want to vent all the loneliness she had accumulated over the past few years, like a crazy female knight.
Now, Kushina felt she was truly living, and it was very exciting, right under Ayaka and Kiyo's noses.
After it ended, Kushina lay down contentedly, feeling her lower abdomen was full again. After lying still for a while, she weakly pushed Hyuga Mirai and said, "It's about time. Come again next time. Remember to visit Mikoto more often. She always keeps everything bottled up inside."
"You were the one holding me back and not letting me leave, Lady Kushina."
Kushina blushed with shame and quickly punched Hyuga Mirai a few times, saying, "Don't call me that again. Next time, don't add 'lady' or 'madam'. You're really too much."
Actually, being called that gave her a strange feeling too, but after it was over, she absolutely couldn't accept that kind of address. The sense of immorality was too strong for her to bear.
After a while, Hyuga Mirai left Kushina's house, but he didn't go to Uchiha Mikoto immediately because there wasn't enough time. As a qualified time management master, he absolutely couldn't make such a low-level mistake.
Some time ago, Senju Yoko and Uzumaki Karin had come to borrow the spaceship from him. The excuse was terrible, and Hyuga Mirai saw at a glance that it was Hyuga Mio's idea. But he ended up lending them the spaceship anyway. They could go out and explore a bit, and he would have their backs.
They all carried the protection of Infinity Stone marks. If danger arose, Hyuga Mirai would rush to save them immediately. Moreover, each of them had the marks of three Stones. Even the most powerful Celestial capable of creating galaxies couldn't kill Hyuga Mio and the others in an instant.
He was now essentially the master of Universe 616. As the offspring of a god, Hyuga Mio and the others naturally didn't need to receive education like ordinary people. They could gain better power in the universe. As long as they didn't get lost in that power, Hyuga Mirai fully supported this behavior.
Besides, Hyuga Mirai had hidden one of his clones on the spaceship, so safety was guaranteed.
The ones who came to ask him were Senju Yoko and Uzumaki Karin, which was why Hyuga Mirai agreed so readily. If it had been the other three, he would have dragged it out for months at least.
When Kiyo Hyuga and the others learned about this, they didn't object. Ever since they understood the significance of the six Infinity Stones, their perspectives and mindsets had changed a lot. Since there wasn't much danger in going out, they wouldn't interfere too much.
"It's almost at its limit. The fruit of the universe's Chakra God Tree should be like the Infinity Stones, a key to control the universe's original energy."
Hyuga Mirai saw that the universe's Chakra God Tree had already borne a fruit with a six-colored halo and thought to himself.
The branch seedlings of the God Tree were still too weak. Being able to absorb this much universal original energy and bear one fruit had already reached its limit. To absorb the original energy of the entire universe, the mother tree would probably be needed.
He had always suspected that the towering, vast tree he saw in the consciousness of the other God Tree seedlings was the Chakra Mother Tree. He just couldn't understand why the Chakra Mother Tree gave him such a shocking feeling.
He had also eaten several God Tree fruits and evolved his life form considerably, but before the true Chakra God Tree, it seemed like nothing had changed.
"I wonder what kind of existence the Otsutsuki God really was. Was it someone who once existed, or a fictional figure created by the Otsutsuki clan? If it really existed, how could such a being die easily? And where is it now..."
Hyuga Mirai had many thoughts, but couldn't find any answers. After a while, the halo on the universe's Chakra God Tree quietly faded. The trunk withered and became like iron bark. Only the fruit was very dazzling. Unlike ordinary God Tree fruits, this Chakra Fruit, which grew by absorbing the universe's original energy, had a six-colored halo.
After the fruit ripened, Hyuga Mirai didn't delay and directly took it down and ate it.
The fruit entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a vast amount of energy.
The injuries Hyuga Mirai had sustained from moving the ninja world planet healed completely in a very short time.
Healing his injuries was a minor issue. The main change was that Hyuga Mirai had touched the deepest original changes in the universe. The change in universal energy every second was equivalent to the total energy of hundreds of thousands of stars exploding. Now, Hyuga Mirai could directly control universal energy.
The Celestials could too, but the strongest of them could only control part of the universal energy. Hyuga Mirai could control the energy of the entire universe, even touching its origin.
"This change is just too great."
With a single glance, he could see the past and future. The fates of all people were within his sight. Even all the gods in this universe had no secrets before Hyuga Mirai. He could easily deprive them of their divine power and turn them into ordinary people.
He could also revive the dead, but this kind of revival wasn't true resurrection, more like a copy. He would extract all the time of that person within the universe and then recreate them. This could also be considered complete resurrection, since their memories, emotions, and even personality were identical. It was like pulling the person from the past into the present.
"What an amazing feeling. The Infinity Stones are pretty much useless to me now."
Hyuga Mirai looked at the Infinity Stones in his hand. Now, he didn't need to view the future, because any future involving himself was completely opaque.
These six Infinity Stones were like keys to mobilize the universe's original energy. They were treasures to others, but a threat to Hyuga Mirai. It would be a shame to get rid of them all. As long as he kept one Stone on him, even if someone gathered the other five, it would be useless.
Moreover, if Hyuga Mirai controlled half of the universe's original energy, even all six Infinity Stones couldn't destroy him. Because at that point, his weight would be equal to that of the six Stones.
"Still spying."
Hyuga Mirai looked up and saw the gaze from outside the universe. Then he placed the six Infinity Stones inside his body.
When he did this, Hyuga Mirai suddenly noticed that the gaze from outside the universe wasn't looking at him, but behind him.
Hyuga Mirai looked behind him in the direction of the gaze and saw a towering tree faintly behind his back, almost identical to the scene he had seen in the God Tree's consciousness.
But the next second, Hyuga Mirai could no longer see the image of that tree, as if it had just been an illusion.
"The Chakra God Tree? How could it be behind me..."
Hyuga Mirai had countless questions, but even using the universe's original energy, he couldn't find any information, as if it really had been an illusion. But how could he have an illusion now? Having become even stronger and able to mobilize all the energy of a single universe, the word 'illusion' shouldn't apply to him.
The next second, Hyuga Mirai reached forward and pressed, punching a tunnel directly through the universe. He stepped across and arrived in the interstitial space of the multiverse, where space and time were endless.
With a single glance, he saw tens of thousands, even millions, of space-times. Each space-time was a complete universe.
Upon arriving here, Hyuga Mirai suddenly felt a kind of 'hunger'. This 'hunger' was directed at the other universal space-times. They were complete but had dispersed power, and it was highly unlikely that a being surpassing a single universe would appear in them for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
The most likely outcome was that they would collide with other universes and collapse. But that would be such a waste. It would be better for him to make good use of them.
"Give up that idea. Randomly devouring multiverses will cause a chain reaction. Even the destruction of a single universe will create chain reactions on future timelines."
A cloaked bald figure appeared before Hyuga Mirai. The energy within him was equally vast, but Hyuga Mirai could only barely sense it through intuition. By now, the Tenseigan was pretty much useless.
"The Watcher."
Hyuga Mirai pondered for a moment, temporarily suppressing his thoughts, then asked, "What were you looking at just now? That gaze last time was you too. What did you see?"
"I don't know. Your space-time has become chaotic. As the newest observation subject, it is very valuable. Your appearance, and the civilization you brought, have elevated the value of this universe to the highest level."
The Watcher said, "Because of the unknown, I must record everything. But you had better not devour other single universes, otherwise the unknown will spread."
"I don't understand what you're saying at all. But you'd better stop watching my universe without permission, and don't interfere with me."
Hyuga Mirai felt a desire to fight. He suddenly wanted to test just how much power the Watcher's energy could actually unleash. And since he didn't understand the Watcher, fighting was the best way to learn.
"Fighting between you and me is meaningless. You have no purpose for fighting."
"I do have a purpose. Your gaze makes me very uncomfortable."
Seeing that he couldn't convince Hyuga Mirai, the Watcher trapped him in a universe. This universe didn't belong to any single universe; it had been created by the Watcher in a very short time.
Although it was powerful, this universe couldn't stop Hyuga Mirai from mobilizing the energy of a single universe. Moreover, he suddenly felt that he could mobilize universal energy here as well, like the God Tree absorbing chakra, but Hyuga Mirai's absorption of energy was on a much larger scale.
The next instant, the universe created by the Watcher was shattered. A thin golden light struck him directly, smashing through three universal planes before landing back in the interstitial space of the multiverse.
"Any energy attack seems useless against you. Unless I use other methods, you just end up a little disheveled..."
That strike just now was a hundred times stronger than the Ten-Tails' most powerful attack. It could easily destroy several galaxies and kill a Celestial within a universe. But it had no effect on the Watcher. Over ninety percent of the energy was dissipated by him. The remainder, as Hyuga Mirai said, just knocked him back a bit and wasted a little.
The next second, Hyuga Mirai appeared next to the Watcher again and punched him hard. At the same time as his fist hit the Watcher's head, countless sealing runes also appeared on the Watcher's body.
These sealing runes were made from the energy of the six Stones, sealing space-time, sealing the soul and mind, sealing reality, and finally sealing the power within the Watcher.
But after a while, the Watcher still used his abilities to undo the seals on his body.
However, his combat sense was far inferior. At the same level, and since the Watcher couldn't see Hyuga Mirai's actions, the last time he had fought was against a Celestial. So much time had passed that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to throw a punch.
Hyuga Mirai used many methods but still couldn't do much to the Watcher. The Watcher's internal energy was too vast. Fighting for a thousand years might determine a winner, but doing so was meaningless.
"It really is meaningless. But I've learned at least one thing."
Hyuga Mirai suddenly stopped. There were more than just the two of them in the multiverse. He had just felt several other gazes and only stopped when he realized it was useless.
Then, ignoring the Watcher, Hyuga Mirai returned directly to his own universe.
The Watcher's purpose was clear, but Hyuga Mirai still couldn't get any information from him.
However, the Watcher's words did make Hyuga Mirai restrain his thoughts. If the multiverse was off limits, maybe he could try the Dark Dimension?
At this level, whether it was the universal origin or the Dark Dimension, the power was no different, and there was no such thing as corruption. But without figuring out the phantom of the Chakra God Tree, Hyuga Mirai always felt a sense of unease.
Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One was looking through records of dimensional beings when a person suddenly appeared before her. Upon seeing Hyuga Mirai, she said in surprise, "Mr. Mirai, I was looking for you a while ago. Did Peter and the others manage to contact you?"
Hyuga Mirai shook his head. "It has nothing to do with them. I have a favor to ask of you myself."
The Ancient One asked curiously, "What is it?" Possessing the six Infinity Stones and being almost omnipotent in the universe, what could someone of his level want from her?
"I want a Sanctum."
"You want to explore the Dark Dimension?"
The Ancient One immediately understood Hyuga Mirai's purpose. She smiled bitterly to herself. If she didn't agree, his power could simply take a Sanctum from Kamar-Taj by force. But the Dark Dimension was something Kamar-Taj had always guarded against. Without understanding the horror of dimensional erosion, even the six Infinity Stones could stumble.
Many dimensional beings were more powerful than a wielder of the six Infinity Stones, such as the Vishanti that Kamar-Taj worshipped.
Hyuga Mirai guessed what the Ancient One was thinking, so he said directly, "I won't explore recklessly. In fact, I wanted to ask you about the unknown dimensions."
