*BANG*
The main gate of the fortress was kicked down as a Samurai entered through it.
Countless guards appeared, some dropping from above and others rushing from the building around. They didn't bother to ask questions as they charged. The first one that reached, swung his sword down, as the samurai finally moved, weaving his sword, connecting with the guard's sword, pushing it slightly to the right, and with one swift motion, skidding through the guard's sword all the way to the hilt, cutting through it and through the guard neck in one swift motion.
It didn't stop there though, just as the sword cut through the first guard, a wave was released from it, cutting through 30 more guards behind him.
As the guards were taken aback, the samurai took a stance, moving his body forward and holding his sword back with both his hands, turning the edge horizontally parallel to the ground, and as his red eyes gleamed he disappeared from the guards' sight.
Using unparalleled speed, the samurai kept appearing in different parts of the fortress, cutting the garrison of Samurai by the dozens each time.

(MC POV)
Looking at my latest creation, I couldn't help but feel a little proud. A gate guard, relatively young and barely considered in the same league as the guards stationed on this border. Frustrations piled upon his shoulders, failures, and regrets piled upon his life.
With Tsukuyomi, I prayed upon them, broke him down slowly, and then picked up the pieces and put them the way I wanted to. Hard as it was to put in words, it was so easy to actually do. People were so fragile, that if I pushed too hard, it would break them, if I pushed too little it would just bounce back, and if I pushed just enough… it would be molded in my vision.
This… was a failed experiment, a mad beast that could only follow simple orders, but I would eventually get there. It was the first among many tests.
On the other side, the infection was successful, it wouldn't turn his body into biomass, but it would infect, reinforce and enhance his current body, maybe even creating mutations. He could use nature energy passively, but he had no control over it.
His resistance was ridiculous as well, all the swords only leaving shallow cuts or stab.
That being said, he was highly lacking compared to even my basic abilities. His body couldn't turn to biomass, therefore he couldn't compress and store biomass to regenerate. Gaining abilities was tied to his evolution from this point on, except for ones that he could learn.
As far as mental abilities went, I couldn't really test them, as I had effectively broken him. It was something to look forward to in the future though.
My thoughts went on what happened as I was about to start the massacre.

(Flashback)
"In fact, why don't I show you?"
As I moved my hand, a notification appeared in front of me.
[WARNING! Due to your interference, this world's charted course across space and time has changed. The world is in a Space-Time collision course with a higher plane. Please evacuate!]
[Running diagnostics: Th higher plane has a 99.9999% probability of disintegrating this plane with the first contact…. A war between planes is unavailable… world-level too low to resist the burden of war under normal circumstances.]
This is really beyond my era of expertise… at least currently.
'Can you give me options?'
[Evaluating… No current method of evacuating from this plane… 2 viable methods found.]
[Option 1: Ascend beyond the material plane.]
(You are a foreigner, not of this plane, therefore your soul will not be lost together with this world's inhabitants if you lose your physical body. Ascending to a lifeform that can control its soul, you can roam without your physical body.)
[Option 2: Force a war between planes.]
(There are many ways to combat a stronger foe, special abilities, special entities. The level of a world is not so easy to determine. You are a foreigner therefore your strength does not attribute to the world level. As it is you do not get pressured by the foreign plane either, but your body, unfortunately, resides in the weakest of these two, meaning that if this plane dies, you die with it. Find ways to force a war between the planes so that you can extend the time available to you. Be warned, as the other plane is more powerful, this method will force you to fight enemy combatants of a higher lifeform.)
[Warning: Escape remains the most favorable option, but no viable method of transportation is found.]
Huh… so this thing was more useful than expected… but this shit just got a whole lot more complicated.
-----------------------------------------------------
Originally I had planned on just massacring the entire garrison by myself, but something crossed my mind. Instead of training shinobi, I could simply give them overwhelming strength. This Samurai could barely compete with the average Samurai stationed here. Now he could cut all of them down.
But this was also uncertain. The system could only tell me if this world was ready or not for war between planes, it could not measure and give me statistics. That being said I had no idea if it would work or not.
'Can you give me a timer on when the plane will collide?'
[Negative, correct timing of such an event is not possible. Too many variables to count. The best estimate is 10 years. Further deviation from the timeline can speed up the process or slow it down.]
'Then… what kind of power is needed to commence a war between planes?'
[Calculating… Juubi's level of power is sufficient. As long as it exists at the time of the collision it will force a war.]
'I feel a little disappointed. I thought that it would take something more powerful than Kaguya.'
[Warning! The higher planes are full of surprises and extremely rare. This does not mean that they hold treasures or are beneficial. These planes are extremely dangerous for all kinds of lifeforms.]
… I might have to rethink the plan brewing in my mind.
'Let's go with option 2, I don't know if I even have a soul, and if my body is gone… yeah, I will rather be without a soul than without biomass. Escape would be preferable but it doesn't seem that viable. War it is. I'll just make sure it starts, see what the enemy is, absorb one if possible and escape to their plane.'
A plan based on guesswork and hope… great.
(A/N: And there we go. I got 2 ways in my mind on how to play this out... and the one im leaning towards you wont be expecting.... hehehehe.... muahahahahha.... Hope you Enjoyed! See you again in 2 days!)
