Chapter 601: The Opinion of a Useless Person!
Chapter 601: The Opinion of a Useless Person!
Do I need to consult you before making any decisions?
"That Chen Ye repeatedly ruined things for his mother."
Every time Im spoke, the temperature in the hall dropped.
"This time, Mu must completely eradicate Nika's legacy."
She stopped in her tracks.
"Then completely conquer Elbaf."
He spoke very slowly, but his words were filled with murderous intent.
Especially Chen Ye, he is the most troublesome enemy Mu has encountered in hundreds of years!
Now, even the legendary Vidvernir has submitted to him.
The ancient divine eagle is a symbol of the gods. Even Joy Boy couldn't subdue this mythical beast. Now, some mortal tramples it underfoot as a mount.
M absolutely forbids it; Widvernil can only submit to M.
"It's been hundreds of years since Joy Boy."
"No one dares to trample on Mother's dignity like this."
Im raised his right hand.
It made a stroke in the air.
A black crack was forcibly torn open.
The laws of space were brutally torn apart at this moment.
Im has successfully connected to Elbaf through the magic circle he just created!
The other end of the crack is between the flowers.
However, the cracks are unstable.
The spatial rift was shaking violently.
Dark red arcs of electricity crackled and exploded. Im frowned. Tearing through space and traversing half a world was too much of a burden on his physical body. The backlash from the sacred land's barrier was already brewing.
Mars Saint lay prone on the ground.
He crawled forward with all his might. He crawled to Im's feet. He raised his trembling hand and grasped the edge of the black coat.
"Lord Im..."
Mars Saint's throat felt like it had been rubbed with sandpaper. He was panting heavily.
"Please reconsider...at least wait until the sacred ground's barrier is reinforced..."
He couldn't persuade him. He knew it in his heart. He just wanted to stall for as long as possible.
Im stopped.
She lowered her head and glanced at the hand gripping the hem of her clothes.
Without warning, the edge of his robe caught fire. Black flames. No temperature. But the aura was destructive. The flames didn't touch Saint Mars's clothes; they burned him directly.
"ah!"
Mars Saint screamed in agony. Black flames engulfed his hand. The searing pain pierced from his flesh to the depths of his soul. He instinctively released his grip, collapsing to the ground and rolling around. The hand that had been clutching his clothes was now charred black. The withered skin cracked open inch by inch, revealing black flesh beneath.
He convulsed and curled up in a ball.
There was no pain in his eyes. There was fear. Fear of the mercilessness of the gods.
He never dared to approach Im again.
Saint Vocuri knelt on the ground. Coughing. A violent cough. Crimson blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ice. One drop. Two drops. Starkly glaring against the white ice.
But he didn't stop.
"Lord Im...cough cough..."
He gripped his cane. His knuckles were white.
"The power that Chen Ye now wields has already exceeded the deterrent range of ancient weapons."
He was panting heavily. He tried to make every word clear. His mind was filled with images of the battlefield in Elbaf. He had to tell the truth about the front lines.
"Videvernil and Nighold exist simultaneously. The rulers of the old era have reappeared. Straw Hat Luffy has also awakened his Nika form."
He raised his head.
"Elbaf... will become a trap."
The assessment was accurate. The threat posed by Chenye's camp had reached its limit. Im's personal command at this moment was tantamount to stepping into a killing trap. Chenye was just waiting for her to arrive.
Im turned his head.
His dark red eyes were fixed on Sacred Vochuli.
The black crack in mid-air was forcibly opened by her will. It was taller than a person. The raging wind and snow poured in even more violently, making Im's black clothes flutter loudly.
"Precisely because he is dangerous."
Im spoke. His voice drowned out the dragon's roar coming from the crack.
"We can't let him live until tomorrow."
There was no backing down.
She raised her bloodless hand and plunged it into the black crack.
With a forceful tug in the void, a cluster of faintly glowing Elbaf spatial coordinates was forcibly pulled out. Violent spatial power raged in her palm. She didn't even flinch. She clenched the coordinates tightly and pressed them into the teleportation core facing the inner chamber of the Flower Chamber.
"tomorrow……"
Piet Saint lay prone in a pile of rubble not far away.
He heard those two words. His pupils shrank to pinpoints.
Lord Im will personally descend upon Elbaf as soon as possible. Today, he will utterly annihilate Chenye. He will not give the Five Elders time to mobilize the Navy. He will not wait for the Knights of God to regroup. He doesn't even have the patience to use the Ancient Weapons.
Absolute annihilation order.
Pitt Saint panicked. His trembling fingers reached into his robes and pulled out a special Den Den Mushi for emergency communication. He had to notify Garin Saint. He had to get the front lines ready to receive him. He had to get the Admirals to fight to the death to hold off Tatsuha.
The call button hasn't been pressed yet.
Im didn't even look at him.
With a casual flick of his sleeve, an invisible aftershock precisely swept across Piet Saint's palm.
"Click."
The Den Den Mushi's shell was covered in cracks. Then, the entire Den Den Mushi exploded into a bloody mist in his palm.
Piet Saint let out a muffled groan. His palm was covered in blood. He stared at the pieces of flesh covering his hand.
Undeniable.
He could no longer muster the slightest thought of resistance. He buried his head deep into the rubble.
Im turned around, facing a black crack as tall as a person.
Spatial turbulence raged within the crack. She lifted her right foot. Stepped forward. The toe of her boot sank into the edge of the crack.
next second.
She stopped.
Take back that half step.
Dark red arcs of electricity coiled around her ankle. The gravitational laws of Pangaea were frantically pulling at her body. It tore through space, traversing half a world; the backlash from the sacred site's barrier would fully erupt before she even reached Elbaf.
That force was too immense.
If she were to suffer a backlash halfway through, she wouldn't be able to face Chen Ye at her peak. She was furious, but she hadn't lost her mind. This tug-of-war would deplete her power to obliterate Chen Ye.
We can't take that risk.
Im turned around, abandoning the direct route, and headed towards the inner chamber of the flower room. Only by going to the flower room could the backlash be minimized.
Footsteps echoed in the deathly silent hall.
She walked past the four Five Elders who were lying paralyzed on the ground. Her black dress stirred up a chilling wind.
"The Holy Land has blocked all leaked images."
The sound wasn't loud. Absolute will.
"The navy must not retreat."
"Garin must hold off everyone on the Elbaf battlefield."
He paused. A cruel glint flashed in his dark red eyes.
"Until Mu arrives."
The four Elders, unable to rise, lay prostrate on the cold, rubble, heads bowed, accepting the order with the utmost humility.
The final ultimatum.
The black crack in mid-air began to close.
In the final second before the battle closed, the sounds of the Elbaf battlefield echoed back to Pangaea. Lox's hysterical laughter. The deafening roar of clashing weapons. The laughter pierced through the barriers of space, crashing against the stone walls of Pangaea.
"Bang."
The crack closed. The hall returned to deathly silence.
Im's figure disappeared behind the heavy stone door of the inner chamber among the flowers. The stone door slammed shut, the sound scraping into the bones.
The four Elders struggled to lift their heads, staring at the tightly closed inner chamber door. Panic was the only thing left on their faces.
The ancient teleportation array, which has not been activated for eight hundred years, is about to be activated.
Lord Im is about to descend upon Elbaf, and there is only a very short time left.
The countdown has begun.
