Chapter 138 : Kaguya, Ranked Sixth?

The announcement for the tenth position on the Six Paths list was made, and Teacher Octopus's image appeared on the screen.

[Tenth position on the Six Paths list: Teacher Octopus]

[Beerus: Octopus is in tenth place. I believe among us, Octopus ranks second only to me!]

[Sun Wukong: Octopus has been immersed in research ever since attaining the Six Paths rank. He spends most of his time in the laboratory, neglecting training. Unfortunately, his rewards have been meager, merely aiding his research and not directly enhancing his strength. Consequently, he has been overtaken by Kumoko and others, one by one.]

[Fox demon Yaya: Octopus isn't concerned with strength, is he? His passion lies solely in research, showing little ambition for power.]

Shortly after, the announcement for the ninth position on the Six Paths list was made.

This time, the screen displayed the adorable Rimuru.

[No. 9 on the Six Paths list: Rimuru]

[Rimuru: Ninth place isn't surprising. After all, I'm one rank higher than that octopus guy!]

[Beerus: Slime, can't you be a bit more ambitious than Octopus?]

[Rimuru: If I'm not compared to Octopus, then who? Your and Sun Wukong's progress in strength has been remarkable. I won't even mention Kumoko, whose strength is currently daunting. Honghong, Yaya, Rongrong, and the others are also becoming increasingly formidable. I simply can't compete!]

[Beerus: That's a fair point!]

Soon after, the eighth position on the Six Paths list was also revealed.

This news left countless individuals astonished.

Because the eighth position belonged to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, known as the Sage of Six Paths.

The figure of Sage of Six Paths appeared on the screen.

[No. 8 in Six Paths: Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo]

[Senju Hashirama: What? The Sage of Six Paths is only eighth on the list?]

[Tsunade: I'm equally shocked. I assumed the Sage of Six Paths would rank at least in the top three!]

[Fourth Raikage: Those summoning beasts under Yasao's command are incredibly powerful, even surpassing the Sage of Six Paths!]

[Uchiha Madara: I possess some knowledge of these summoning beasts, and indeed, they are mightier than the Sage of Six Paths!]

[Terumi Mei: Even if Yasao isn't on the Six Paths list, I doubt Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could claim the top spot!]

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Hmph, the number one spot on the Six Paths list belongs to me!]

[Beerus: I highly doubt Ōtsutsuki Kaguya will claim the top spot!]

"Master, who do you think will be first?" asked Kumoko.

Yasao replied, "It should be you. Last time the pet list was updated, you surpassed Beerus and became the top-ranking pet. Moreover, you are nearly at the level of the Immortal Dao Realm expert . Ōtsutsuki Kaguya should pale in comparison to you, so you are undoubtedly ahead of her."

"If the master declared I'm the first, then I must be the first!" Kumoko chimed in cheerfully.

"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya might not necessarily surpass Rongrong in strength!" Yasao interjected.

Rongrong had inherited the bloodline of the purple eye fox, a lineage so formidable it surpassed that of divine beasts. Through relentless practice, Rongrong's strength grew increasingly formidable, pushing her bloodline's development to its zenith.

Currently, Rongrong's prowess exceeded that of Hong Hong and Yaya, but she still fell short of Beerus and Kumoko.

"Indeed, Rongrong's strength is remarkable, and her progress is accelerating. Without the rewards from the Gold List, I wouldn't be able to keep up with her through my own cultivation alone!" Kumoko acknowledged.

"No matter the rank, I'll accept it. The rewards will surely be worthwhile," Rongrong affirmed.

Just then, the announcement for the seventh position on the Six Paths list was made.

The image of the fox demon Yaya appeared on the screen.

Clearly, the seventh spot belonged to the fox demon Yaya.

[Sixth Paths List: Fox Demon Honghong]

"As I suspected, I'm only seventh!" Honghong pouted upon seeing her placement.

As the eldest sister, she was once the mightiest, but her younger siblings had surpassed her one by one.

Yaya possessed the extraordinary talent of the Ice Body, rendering her combat prowess fearsome. Thus, Honghong couldn't compete with her younger sisters.

"Big sister, perhaps the reward you receive this time will be perfect for you, propelling your strength to new heights, even surpassing us?" Yaya suggested optimistically.

"Yes, eldest sister, you might surpass us next time!" Rongrong chimed in support.

"To be honest, I'm not feeling sad anymore," Honghong admitted with a smile. "But this time, I'll cozy up to the master. Who knows, the reward I get might just be exceptional!"

"Sly eldest sister, that was your plan all along!" Yaya teased.

Immediately, the three girls leapt into action, their movements fluid and synchronized.

And then, without delay,

The announcement for the sixth position on the Six Paths list echoed through the room.

A woman's image materialized on the screen.

As everyone's gaze fell upon her, a collective gasp filled the air.

For appearing before them was none other than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

[6th place in Six Paths: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya]

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: How can this be? How am I only sixth?]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: It's a bit unexpected to see my mother ranked sixth!]

[Garaga: Hahaha! This is priceless! Ōtsutsuki Kaguya claimed to be number one on the Six Paths list, yet here she is at number six! Hahaha!]

[Tsunade: It's not entirely surprising. After all, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is sealed and unable to cultivate, while Yasao's Summoning beasts not only receive rewards from the Gold List but also grow through cultivation.]

[Fox Demon Yaya: I thought I might be sixth, but seeing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya there... It seems she's not as formidable as we thought!]

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: This ranking is unacceptable! I am the progenitor of Chakra! How can anyone surpass me?]

[Beerus: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, there's no point in being upset. The rank  given by the Golden List speaks for itself. Undoubtedly, your strength corresponds to this ranking. I once even compared you to the master, but it seems you don't even come close to deserving such praise.]

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya felt her composure slipping away. Ranked sixth, overshadowed by Yasao's five formidable Summoning beasts, she couldn't help but feel inadequate. She had boasted of being the top of the Six Paths list, yet now she resembled a defeated clown.

Although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's sixth-place ranking initially stunned many ninjas, they soon came to terms with it.

After all, even Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, her son, held only the eighth position.

Before long, the announcement for the fifth position on the Six Paths list resounded.

And there, gracing the screen, was the figure of Yaya.

[Fifth place on the Six Paths list: Fox Demon Yaya]

For Yaya, this placement held no surprises. She was already anticipating the top four positions, barring any sudden surges in strength from others during this period.
