When Tobirama shouted for help, both of them instantly disappeared from the entanglement of the wooden vines.
They were moved in an instant.
Clearly, Lux had been watching from the beginning, and at the critical moment, he provided assistance.
World teleportation wasn't afraid of Wood Release. Even if Tobirama were turned into a pile of flesh, everything could still be moved.
Especially since both of them were still alive.
If they could be saved, why not?
Humans are indeed the same. The high sunk cost at the beginning and the reluctance to lose not only made Madara from Parallel World 2 unwilling to retreat.
Lux was almost the same. The progress of unifying Parallel World 2 had already exceeded 50%, which was quite good.
Unless forced, Lux didn't want to let go of Tobirama and Konoha Village in Parallel World 2.
Moreover, Tobirama from Parallel World 1 was also tasked with managing the Land of Fire in Parallel World 1. He couldn't just die randomly here.
Of course, only Madara in this world could force this arrogant Tobirama to ask for help.
If it were anyone else, they might have already lost and wouldn't have lasted until now.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"What!!!"
Seeing the prey that was right in front of him suddenly disappear, Madara was utterly shocked.
The effect of the Flying Thunder God? He understood it well; it shouldn't be possible to escape from the entanglement of Wood Release.
And who did Tobirama call just now?
Besides Hashirama, who might appear, is there another powerful figure?
Madara immediately turned toward the source of the voice.
Sure enough, he saw Lux, who had suddenly appeared on the right, and the two Tobiramas who had been moved beside him.
Of course, he also immediately noticed Lux's distinctive Rinnegan eyes.
'An unfamiliar face...'
'That's also a Rinnegan?!!'
'And this chakra wave isn't inferior to Hashirama's?'
'Who exactly is this person?'
Madara was shocked. Many questions arose in his mind, and he immediately retreated to stay vigilant.
After being previously disadvantaged by the information about the Rinnegan, he was extremely wary of Lux, who had suddenly appeared.
"Hu—!"
"That was dangerous! Thank you, Sir!"
After being rescued, the Young Tobirama immediately expressed his gratitude to Lux with enthusiasm, while the Old Tobirama also quickly nodded in thanks.
Although he couldn't see, he understood that Lux had intervened.
And as soon as Lux appeared, both Tobiramas immediately felt more confident.
Accustomed to relying on their older brother, they were too lazy to think too much; with their brother's strength as a guarantee, who needed to think?
Although Lux rarely acted, Tobirama had heard from his brother that even his brother and Madara together couldn't defeat Isshiki; but Lux easily handled him, so he must be incredibly strong.
Relying on anyone is fine!
The fact that Lux was willing to save them meant they still had value.
Before this, no matter what they did, they were safe!
As long as Lux was here, this Madara definitely couldn't do anything!
"Sir, quickly, kill this evil Madara!"
"You really want to kill him?"
"Of course! He's killed so many Konoha ninjas, he..."
"Enough. Let me handle it."
"Alright."
Tobirama nodded obediently. He didn't actually expect Lux to kill the enemy for them; he was just provoking.
After all, there was nothing to lose.
For them, surviving this battle and saving most of the Konoha ninja forces was already the best outcome.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Lux looked toward Madara from Parallel World 2 on the opposite side, their eyes meeting.
Madara frowned and immediately asked:
"Who are you?"
"Immortal Blessing."
"Immortal Blessing? What's your relationship with the Rikudo Sennin?"
With the Rinnegan and calling himself Immortal Blessing, Madara naturally connected Lux to the Rikudo Sennin.
"My relationship with the Rikudo Sennin? Quite good, we just met yesterday."
Lux recalled his encounter with the Rikudo Sennin in Parallel World 4 yesterday. Now he could truly say he knew the Rikudo Sennin.
Previously, only he knew the other party, but the other party didn't know him.
But once these words were spoken. In Madara's ears, which lacked information, it sounded like a different meaning.
You just met the Rikudo Sennin yesterday? This means they are very close? They are equals?
Is there a hidden figure in history called Immortal Blessing?
'Ha——!'
Was the time travel of Tobirama and his other self led by this person?
This makes sense!
How could that bastard Tobirama have such abilities?
Wait...
If this person just met the Rikudo Sennin yesterday, does that mean he's still alive?
"That's impossible, he's still alive?!!"
"There's a difference from your narrow understanding of being alive, but in a broad sense, he is indeed still himself. Although he doesn't have a physical form, the Rikudo Sennin controls the entire Pure Land."
"Pure Land? The place where the souls of the dead reside? The Rikudo Sennin also likes to play with souls like animals?"
"You could say that. But your younger brother Izuna's soul is also under his care, so I suggest you watch your words. The Rikudo Sennin can get angry sometimes..."
'Ha...!'
Madara took a deep breath. Although he respected ancestors and gods, he wasn't afraid.
But when it came to his younger brother Izuna, it was different.
For the sake of his beloved younger brother, Madara could compromise.
Not daring to oppose the Rikudo Sennin, Madara wisely chose not to speak further on the matter and moved on to another question.
"Are you the one who brought Tobirama and my other self here?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"No particular reason."
"Will you protect Tobirama and the entire Konoha Village?"
Madara's expression grew darker.
He couldn't guess Lux's strength and intentions.
But just the Rinnegan and his connection to the Rikudo Sennin were enough to prove Lux's mystery and power.
A god-like being like this, if he stood on Tobirama's side, then Madara's chances of winning were very slim!
"You could say that."
"What do you mean?"
"I won't interfere too much in your conflict with Tobirama, but at least for now, you can't destroy them."
Lux gave his answer.
Reality was cruel, meaning Madara's investment value wasn't sufficient yet.
If this Madara already had dual Rinnegan, mastered Yin-Yang Release, controlled the Gedo Statue, all nine Bijū, and the White Zetsu army...
With the capital to quickly conquer the entire ninja world and maintain the stability of his empire in the long term after unification, then Lux wouldn't hesitate to support him.
But now he had nothing, and one of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was blind. He wasn't worth further investment.
Moreover, letting go of Konoha, which was already half-unified, and switching to support a lone Madara would just be asking for trouble.
Additionally, the relationship between Tobirama from Parallel World 1 and Tobirama from Parallel World 2 was quite good. Allowing Madara to kill Tobirama from Parallel World 2 would definitely make Tobirama from Parallel World 1 feel bad.
So Konoha and Tobirama couldn't be destroyed now, at least not casually.
Unless this Madara could prove that he was more worthy of investment, and that investing in him would yield greater returns.
Unfortunately, the chances were very slim, because this Madara was still being fooled by Black Zetsu...
"Why? Did that bastard Tobirama promise you something?"
"What value is there in supporting the weak? Whatever he can offer, I can offer too!"
"You're a Sage, can't you see that the ninja village system is a mistake? This mistake will bring even greater disasters!"
Madara from Parallel World 2 was clearly starting to lose control.
To achieve world peace, he had worked so hard for so long, almost managing to kill Tobirama and continue the Moon's Eye Plan.
But at the critical moment, he was thwarted by the appearance of another Tobirama and himself.
And the opponent gained strong support from a Rikudo Sennin. Why is that bastard Tobirama so lucky?
Madara couldn't accept it. He was extremely frustrated and angry.
