Chapter 516: Let's Go to the Monster Association

Somewhere in the city.

On the outskirts of the city, deep in a shadowy alley, unguarded.

In the dark shadows, two figures stood facing each other, one with short silver hair, none other than Yeruashi, and the other was equally beautiful, but unknown.

"Good, you can rejoin the Hero Association with this identity, my power can protect you from the Hero Association's surveillance."

Yeruashi looked at the man in front of him and spoke.

The man in front of him was none other than Amai Mask, but he looked very different from Amai Mask, his hair had turned blonde, and his appearance was also very different, the only thing that was the same was that he could barely catch up to Yeruashi in terms of appearance.

"It's not heroic to be so tolerant of monsters." Amai Mask looked at Yeruashi and said, "But thank you."

Yeruashi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Physical differences are not the decisive difference between a monster and a hero, what S-class hero isn't a monster? Besides... I'm not the hero you think I am."

Amai Mask was slightly dumbfounded.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yeruashi turn into a flash of white light, disappearing right in front of him.

As he watched the remaining arcs of lightning fade into the void, Amai Mask finally shook his head, looked at his hands and said, "This is also the best result."

...

Outskirts.

It had been quite some time since the creation of the Pain Sacred Tree by Yeruashi.

The area of a few tens of miles is covered by the forest that the Pain Sacred Tree has spread out, and from these trees are hanging white spheres one after another, hundreds of them in plain sight.

Among these hundreds of spheres, the weakest monsters were demon level, and there were even some dragon level monsters among them, all of which had now become the sustenance of the Sacred Tree Pain.

Using their bodies as vessels, he transformed them into White Zetsu and used them to refine chakra and increase his power.

It is not possible to absorb only the cells of monsters.

The essence of the Sacred Tree was still chakra, so its growth had to depend on chakra refinement; otherwise, it wouldn't have to go through the trouble of eating monsters to raise it, and Yeruashi himself could get enough monsters to nurture it in a day or two.

But after all this time, the Sacred Tree Pain was one step away from maturity, and in the middle of the forest, where it stood, a fissure had appeared between its eyebrows.

Within the fissure gestated the eye,

It was the equivalent of the chakra fruit in the form of the Sacred Tree.

Whoosh!

Just then, in the sky above the dense forest, a dark spatial passage opened and a small figure appeared there, hurling nearly twenty monsters with a wave of his hand.

They fell in a huddle, trying to struggle in the air, but were immediately entangled in the forest by a root system that quickly swept and bound them.

"Father, it's almost over, isn't it?"

Lilith flew down to the center of the forest.

"Yes, that's enough."

Yeruashi calmly replied as he manipulated the Sacred Tree, and then a long, thick branch extended from the root system that had enveloped the monsters, sticking into each of them.

The monsters made a strange sound, and one by one they dried up, not to be refined like White Zetsu, but to be drained of cells and energy by Yeruashi.

Buzz!!!

The cells of the monsters were devoured.

The energy of Sacred Tree Pain's body, which had been cultivated for a long time, finally broke through a certain threshold, and the crack in the center of its forehead opened sideways, revealing a blood-colored eye!

The pupil of the eye was marked with a circle of ripples, and above the ripples were black tomoe, nine in total, forming the standard Rinnegan form.

Whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!!!!!

At that moment, the huge forest that had spread out in all directions began to shrink rapidly toward the center.

One by one, the monsters imprisoned in the white sphere dried up and turned into ashes, being completely swallowed and absorbed.

Lilith flew up into the sky.

Floating above and looking down, she could see the huge forest spreading out, like the tentacles of an octopus, rapidly retracting towards the center and finally retracting back into the body of the Sacred Tree Pain.

The entire forest disappeared, and in its place rose the Sacred Tree Pain himself, with ten milky white tails extending from his back and a glowing light from his single eye in the center of his forehead, and a surge of power that shattered the earth inch by inch.

Having gobbled up a large number of Monster Cells and made them mature all at once, the Monster Cells of the Sacred Tree had exceeded their limits and were showing signs of collapse.

But at that moment.

The void in front of the Sacred Tree Pain opened up and a completely dark spatial passageway appeared. A hand reached out from inside and pointed a finger at his forehead.

A large amount of chakra was injected into Sacred Tree Pain's body with this finger.

The chakra sent by Yeruashi himself into Sacred Tree Pain's body quickly mixed with the rampaging Monster Cells in Sacred Tree Pain's body, quickly suppressing the crazed Monster Cells and restoring a stable balance.

"Father..."

Lilith flew down from the air, looking towards the spatial channel.

Yeruashi smiled at her through the space channel, raised his hand and stroked her head, then withdrew his hand and the space channel disappeared.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Sacred Tree Pain's body writhed.

After about half an hour, everything had finally calmed down.

"It's finally time to act."

Yeruashi looked at his hands and smiled as he manipulated the Sacred Tree.

Until it reached maturity, it was difficult to move, and so Lilith had to keep capturing monsters and throwing them at it for sustenance.

But when fully mature, he is the same individual as Lilith, a full-fledged Juubi, and can carry out normal activities.

However.

The current Sacred Pain Tree is powerful and has the power of a full Juubi, but it is still very small compared to Yeruashi's power, and cannot match Yeruashi's power at all.

If it were to devour the Sacred Tree now, the probability of evolution would be very low, and Yeruashi's ability to see the future would not exceed one percent.

So the Sacred Tree Pain still needed to increase its power.

It needed to devour more monsters.

And after reaching maturity, demon level monsters were no longer very useful to devour, and the only ones that could be used to power it up were dragon level monsters.

"So..."

There was a flash of light in Sacred Tree Pain's eyes, then he looked at Lilith beside him and said, "Lilith, come on, let's go to the .... Association of Monsters!".
