In the following period, Su Ye was very busy, traveling across many different worlds.
He first went to the King of Fighters world.
This world was somewhat peculiar. If you said its power system was strong, it really wasn't that high-level. The strongest final boss was nothing more than a third-rate Serpent God from a small island nation, and it had even been sealed for a thousand years, its power significantly weakened.
It was supposedly the embodiment of Earth's will, but it was merely a monster born on that "Bug Island"—what right did it have to represent Earth's will?
If it truly represented the will of the planet, why was it born on "Bug Island"? Was it because the people of that nation had done things so detestable that they deserved eradication?
If that were the case, then it shouldn't have been born in that era.
When the ghosts of "Bug Island" waged war and slaughter, when they hunted whales and dolphins worldwide, when they planned to dump nuclear waste into the Pacific, altering the entire world's oceans and ecosystem—forcing all of humanity to pay the price for their incompetence and shamelessness—wasn't that a more appropriate time for this so-called "Earth's will" to be born?
It would be best if multiple versions appeared—one for each island—forming a team to execute surgical strikes against them.
So, in the end, that so-called "Orochi" was nothing more than the incarnation of a monster.
It could only be said that "Bug Island" was so chaotic and disgusting that all sorts of demons and monsters were more likely to be born there.
After Hong Kong comic artists took over the King of Fighters world, it suddenly started to go off-track.
Absolute Territory, Ultimate Power, Cosmic Force—whatever was most exaggerated, they threw it in.
By the end, almost any named character could easily crush Orochi.
In the end, the artists themselves couldn't hold it together, and the whole thing collapsed.
When Su Ye arrived in the King of Fighters world, he encountered no real opposition in terms of power.
As for that insignificant Orochi, Su Ye didn't even need to act—Kaguya simply went up and swallowed it in one bite.
In Naruto's original setting, Kaguya was an ascetic—she had never loved anyone, nor had she gone through the necessary reproductive process. Instead, she bore two rebellious sons through the prayers of the people.
Since those two sons were born from the people's prayers, they naturally represented the will of the people and inevitably ended up opposing their mother's reckless slaughter.
So initially, Kishimoto's intent was to mythologize Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Unfortunately, in order to milk the franchise and expand the storylines and settings, the Ōtsutsuki clan was turned into aliens. While the plot expanded, Kaguya's character arc was lost.
She went from a divine legend to just another rebellious alien.
However, the Kaguya by Su Ye's side was already completely different from the one in the original manga and anime.
After being "developed" by Su Ye, not only did Kaguya gain rich emotional depth, but her physical form also changed.
The two horn-like structures on her head were no longer rigid horns but had transformed into a pair of fox-like ears.
At the same time, her coccyx developed further, protruding outward and forming a new body part—a fluffy, white tail.
A perfectly fine Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had been forcibly transformed by Su Ye into a fox-tailed beast-eared girl.
For now, Kaguya had only one tail. It wasn't just a decorative or playful feature—it was also a symbol of her power.
She could act as a mount, accompanying Su Ye as he traveled across different worlds, devouring whatever leftovers Su Ye didn't need or didn't care about to strengthen herself.
As her power increased, so would the number of her tails. Once she gathered all nine tails, her strength would roughly reach the level of the Three Goddesses.
But for now, Kaguya was still far from that level.
As for the giant Orochi on "Bug Island," it was a good source of nourishment for Kaguya. After she devoured it, there was a loud "whoosh," and a second white tail suddenly sprouted from her back.
From one tail to two tails—this meant there were more positions to play with.
Su Ye didn't concern himself with Kaguya devouring Orochi. Instead, he used his divine sense to scan for the World Heart of this world.
Even though the Hong Kong comic artists had wrecked the storyline, thanks to their involvement, the world's power system had experienced massive growth.
At the very least, it was no longer confined by the power ceiling set by the Orochi of "Bug Island."
Absolute Territory, Ultimate Power, Cosmic Force—these things truly existed; they just hadn't been discovered, developed, or utilized by humanity yet.
But under Su Ye's divine sense, nothing could remain hidden.
Soon, from the depths of space—a place unknown to mankind, beyond the reach of any telescope—he pulled out a mass of pure energy.
This energy was the source of all power in this world—the force behind the Big Bang, the birth of life, and the emergence of all supernatural phenomena. The undiscovered Cosmic Force was all contained within it.
And now, this immense force—belonging to this universe—was devoured by Su Ye in a single gulp.
"Hiccup!"
Su Ye let out a satisfied burp.
Although this power hadn't yet been developed, its sheer volume was immense. If released, it could easily create an entire pantheon of Olympian gods for fun.
If the Earth's fighters followed the trend of Cosmic Power, they might not even be inferior to the Olympian gods.
However, now that Su Ye had devoured this power, the world would return to its original game setting. Fighters would remain as pure martial artists, capable of using flashy energy techniques, but anything beyond Absolute Territory would cease to exist.
Mission accomplished. Su Ye grabbed Kaguya, who had been lying down, ready to play with her new toy, and instantly left the King of Fighters world.
Where was the next destination again?
It didn't matter. He would just bulldoze through everything along the way.
When Su Ye first left the Marvel Universe, his strength was on par with Marvel's Five Cosmic Entities.
But after traveling through more than a dozen worlds and devouring their World Hearts, his power had grown to a level even he wasn't sure about anymore.
The Five Cosmic Entities were at a multiversal level. What came after that? Omniversal? Transcendent? Omniscient and Omnipotent? The Absolute Supreme?
Su Ye wasn't sure how many more power levels existed beyond this.
Regardless, even if his current level wasn't as high as some supreme beings, as long as he continued devouring power, eventually, quantity would lead to qualitative change.
By that time, forget Marvel's Absolute Supreme—whether it was the physical or non-physical realms, quantum domains, past or future, the known and the unknown, the worlds of existence and nonexistence...
He would be the Absolute Supreme of all.
But when that time came, what would he do?
Should he create an heir—or countless heirs—and have them challenge him?
For the first time, Su Ye felt a little lost about the future.
