Chapter 606: Matchup!
At this moment, Chen Ye was standing on top of Vidvernir.
Chen Ye raised his right hand.
It unleashed a powerful force of light!
This force forcefully dispelled all the darkness within a radius of several dozen meters.
Widvernil's amber eagle eyes were fixed intently on what lay ahead.
At the edge of the horizon. Atop the Elbaf Royal Palace. Im's true form sat atop the palace, the aura emanating from him utterly repulsive to this ancient divine eagle.
"Hey——!"
The eagle's cry rang out.
It pierced through everything and headed straight for Im.
Wings spread. Wingspan blotted out the sky. A gigantic black shadow fell to the ground.
The edges of the wings suddenly surged with a blinding blue light. Wind elements rapidly gathered, compressed, and took shape. Hundreds and thousands of blue wind blades then lined up in mid-air.
Each one is tens of meters long.
Wind blades sliced through space, their shrill cries piercing eardrums. A dense web of death wove itself together, swiftly and decisively cutting towards Im, who had just appeared atop the palace.
Chen Ye's eyes were icy cold.
He had no intention of letting his mount do the work for him. He wanted to fight this battle, a battle that could destroy the entire Elbaf, himself.
Consciousness manifested as countless threads, carrying the absolute will of the sun god, restraining Vidvernir's movements.
"Keep quiet, it's not time to make a move yet."
The order was given. No disobedience was permitted. The ancient overlord's bloodlust was forcibly suppressed.
midair.
Hundreds upon hundreds of wind blades, powerful enough to cleave the red earth, suddenly halted. They stopped ten meters in front of Im. Extreme motion collided with extreme stillness.
The cyan wind blades trembled in the void.
The buzzing sound was unwilling. It was grasped by an invisible giant hand. Then it collapsed with a roar just inches away from Im. The gale turned into a harmless airflow, blowing Im's wide black robe.
Chen Ye's gaze pierced through the chaotic airflow several thousand meters away.
The gaze was a tangible golden spear, thrusting forward without fear. It collided violently with the dark red eyes beneath Im's hood in the void.
boom.
At the point where their gazes met, the air distorted violently. Black lightning and golden arcs of electricity intertwined and exploded wildly. There was no physical contact. Just a staring contest. And yet, visible cracks appeared in the space below. The cracks spread, producing the crisp sound of shattering glass.
Chen Ye's lips curled up slightly.
Coldness. Contempt. Mockery. Three things stacked together.
He spoke.
The power of the sun god enhanced his vocal cords. The sound wasn't loud, but it easily drowned out all the wind and snow. It exploded in everyone's ears.
"A rat hiding beneath the red earth."
The sound is calm and even, yet extremely penetrating.
"Eight hundred years have passed, you coward."
"So today, you finally dare to come out into the light?"
Every word was like a dagger to the heart. Each sentence was a heavy blow, the most resounding slap in the face to Im.
Chen Ye wanted to strip away the cloak of this so-called deity, to expose her true mortal form in front of everyone.
The entire room fell silent.
Time stopped.
The hearts of all the top experts skipped a beat. Fear and shock gripped their throats.
Whitebeard's eyes suddenly widened.
His thick arms tensed instantly, muscles bulging and veins popping. He gripped the Murakumo-giri tightly in his hand. The white aura of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit flickered wildly on the blade. The surrounding space was shattered, cracking into countless black fissures.
Whitebeard prepared for the worst. His Observation Haki contracted to a distance of ten meters around him, ready to take the devastating impact of Im's rage.
On the other side of the ruins.
The frozen ground beneath Lox's feet was pounded into a deep pit. Dark power surged from within him, transforming into a viscous swamp that enveloped his entire body.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Sweat trickled down his gruesome scars and dripped into the soil. He always felt he was a madman, a madman who dared to challenge the world. But which man above him was the real madman? Publicly humiliating a monster whose very name was taboo.
Garin knelt in the ruins, trembling all over.
She raised her head. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Chen Ye in mid-air.
"Mortals! Damn mortals!"
The roar within him felt like his head was about to explode. He was waiting. Waiting for Lord Im to unleash divine punishment. Waiting for that arrogant man to be annihilated on the spot.
Shanks gripped the hilt of Griffin's sword, his dark red Conqueror's Haki poised to strike. Kizaru retreated far away, his eyes narrowing behind his brown sunglasses. Kizaru's Armament Haki covered his entire body, his teeth grinding together.
Everyone held their breath.
Im's rage is enough to fill an entire sea. What follows will inevitably be a counterattack that tears the earth apart.
No.
The devastating counterattack did not come.
There was no roar. No destructive rage. No overwhelming outpouring of energy.
Faced with Chen Ye's extremely malicious public provocation, Im remained completely unresponsive. She simply stood atop the palace dome.
They remained silent and still.
She didn't rush forward. She didn't immediately engage Chen Ye in a world-destroying final battle.
This deathly silence is more frightening than a violent storm.
unreasonable.
Im's authority was trampled underfoot. But Im chose to remain silent.
Lockes swallowed hard.
His intuition told him something was wrong. Extreme danger was brewing. Im's reaction was definitely not fear.
Instead, they ignored it.
A moment later!
Im moved.
I moved my whole body!
Click-clack. Click-clack.
She turned her head away.
He stopped looking at Chen Ye in mid-air.
Im's gaze passed over the ruined palace towers.
They passed by Whitebeard and Rocks, who were standing by in a state of high alert.
They locked onto the other side of the edge of the ruins.
Where is the corner of the battlefield? Zoro and Sanji have just finished their battle, having just torn apart the top combatants of the God Knights, Somazu and Kirin Gom.
Blood was everywhere. Limbs and body parts were scattered on the scorched, frozen earth.
Although it still didn't kill Somaz and Kirin Gom, this move effectively countered their self-healing abilities!
Im's gaze was fixed on a certain spot.
Her dark red eyes were devoid of emotion, only coldness and a strange focus. She didn't care at all what Chen Ye had said.
Her target was still the giant children; with that, he could make the entire giant race submit!
Chen Ye stood on the eagle's head, his brows twitching.
Im's target wasn't him, but rather the giant children.
This was something Chen Ye hadn't expected; he hadn't anticipated that Im would still be so obsessed with kidnapping giant children!
The mouth opened. It wanted to shout. It wanted to warn.
late.
Im's figure disappeared.
It vanished instantly from the top of the palace.
It's incredibly fast, almost indistinguishable from spatial teleportation.
Even someone with Rocks's level of Observation Haki couldn't detect its trajectory at all. Rocks and Whitebeard stared wide-eyed, their Observation Haki showing only a blurry black line.
Zoro and Sanji, watch out!
Chen Ye's voice had just been shouted out.
But it was too late; Im had already arrived!
