Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Kushina was pregnant, and with her due date approaching, she hadn't been cooking much lately. Normally, she would be the one preparing meals, but now she was waiting for Minato to return and cook instead. If she had known guests were coming today, she definitely would've showcased her culinary skills.

But Takumi directly brought out food, making her feel a bit embarrassed. After all, Takumi and Zhongli were guests—how could the guests be the ones bringing food?

Just as she was about to say something, a rich and delicious aroma wafted through the air.

Alright, she had no words—because it smelled heavenly.

With Takumi's food on the table, Kushina immediately forgot about her concerns. The four of them sat down together and enjoyed the meal. Once they had eaten their fill, Takumi and Zhongli left without staying in Konoha for long. They headed off to explore other villages.

For Takumi and Zhongli, sleep wasn't a necessity, so they simply wandered around to their hearts' content.

During his time in the world of Naruto, Takumi's mind began to absorb more and more knowledge—various ninjutsu techniques and even information about the Ōtsutsuki Clan emerged in his thoughts.

Eventually, Takumi learned something that made him scoff.

"Hmm... the Ōtsutsuki Clan are the parasites of the world."

He blurted it out without much thought.

Zhongli was startled.

"Parasites of the world?"

But after thinking about it, he nodded.

"Actually, that makes sense. They plunder across the universe, destroying one planet after another. Calling them parasites isn't wrong."

Indeed, the Ōtsutsuki fit that description perfectly.

"Want to come with me?" Takumi asked. "Let's take down those powerful Ōtsutsuki Clan members."

"Even though they were born in this world, the world itself seems to loathe them. If their expansion continues unchecked, they'll deplete this world's resources entirely, eventually turning their eyes to other realms."

If Takumi made a move against the Ōtsutsuki, the world would probably be grateful.

"Alright then, let's go. I haven't had a proper fight in ages."

Zhongli welcomed the idea. It had been a long time since he'd seriously fought anyone.

Though he had mellowed out after years of wear and erosion, now that the erosion was gone, some of his old temperament had returned.

After all, he had survived the Archon War. He wouldn't show mercy to beings like the Ōtsutsuki.

With that, the two set off.

Takumi didn't even inform Minato—he didn't expect the mission to take long.

Opening a spatial passage, he brought Zhongli into the universe.

In just one leap, they arrived dozens of light-years away.

Operating in space wasn't a challenge for Zhongli anymore. After all, he had strengthened himself multiple times through the chat group.

It was already late, so Takumi decided not to start a livestream. Only a few night owls would be around anyway, so he didn't bother.

A few teleportations later, the two descended onto the Ōtsutsuki homeworld.

The planet was barren—scarred with craters and remnants of Divine Trees.

Clearly, this world had also been exploited for chakra.

Though the Ōtsutsuki were spread throughout the universe, many still resided on the homeworld.

"Old man, I'll leave this place to you," Takumi said. "I'm heading elsewhere."

After a quick scan, Takumi noted that the remaining Ōtsutsuki here weren't very powerful—many were servants or low-level members.

Their abilities were strange but not unmanageable for Zhongli.

Since coming to Takumi's world, Zhongli had also learned a variety of magic spells.

He nodded. "Alright. Just come back to pick me up later."

With that, Takumi vanished from sight, heading off to hunt down other tree-planting Ōtsutsuki.

Zhongli wasted no time.

"Stars, fall from the heavens."

As he muttered, massive meteors materialized in space.

Terrifying Geo energy gathered.

In just a second, those meteors expanded into small planetoids.

Under his control, the planetoids rained down onto the Ōtsutsuki homeworld.

Ōtsutsuki warriors sensed the threat and immediately leapt into action, appearing in the sky and trying to deflect or teleport the incoming celestial bodies.

Many of them had spatial powers.

But Zhongli wasn't about to give them that chance.

With a surge of power, he sealed the space.

Those attempting to intervene froze midair.

His summoned meteors, however, remained unaffected, hurtling downward like falling stars.

"Damn it!!"

The Ōtsutsuki elite watched helplessly, their expressions twisted in rage.

Though their planet had already been nearly depleted, countless inhabitants still lived there.

And now, they were under siege?

For all their centuries of dominance in the universe, this was a first.

Fury erupted across the clan. They wanted nothing more than to rip that figure in space to shreds.

But with the space sealed, they could only watch as their planet was bombarded.

Many of the weaker Ōtsutsuki were slaughtered.

Zhongli hovered in space, watching silently.

Mushroom clouds bloomed across the planet.

Countless Ōtsutsuki members perished in the bombardment.

Not all Ōtsutsuki were strong—many were weaker than even elite ninja.

Let alone surviving a direct hit from Zhongli's meteors.

This was his first time using this particular technique.

He wasn't sure how powerful it would be, but now he was impressed.

It was perfect for attacking planets.

Still, Zhongli didn't dwell on the destruction. He turned his gaze to the stronger Ōtsutsuki emerging from the ruins.

As they advanced, Zhongli calmly summoned his shield and launched his counterattack.
