Chapter 376 Finally Got You, Enemy of God
Ghost Island.
"Buzz!"
Harald continued to push the greatsword forward with all his might.
But as mentioned before—in that vast, flowing starlight, the giant sword's cleavage could not advance even an inch forward.
Meanwhile, the Star Lord, who stepped out from the starlight, simply raised his hand slowly.
He pointed his finger downwards and pressed it down slightly.
"Boom!"
The next moment, intense gravity struck.
Harald's massive body also suddenly plummeted at that moment, and he was instantly unable to move.
This scene left Ace and Yamato, who were watching from the sidelines, horrified and filled with disbelief.
Having fought Harald for so long, no one knows better than them how strong Harald is.
Whether it's domineering presence or sheer power, it's absolutely top-tier strength in the ocean.
Tenwa didn't even believe that his father, Kaido, could defeat Harald.
Their combined attack, launched while Harald was in poor condition, only managed to knock him down, without even inflicting any real, effective damage.
But now?
Before the Star Lord, Harald's power was so great that he couldn't even break through the opponent's finger. In fact, the opponent only needed to lightly point a finger to restrict Harald's movements.
"What kind of ability is this?"
The doubts in Yamato and Ace's hearts at this moment are understandable.
But at this moment, Roy, beneath the Star Lord's mask, showed no surprise whatsoever.
Is Harald strong?
of course.
As the previous King of Titans, Harald possessed power comparable to Rocks—the two became friends during their battles, which ended in a draw.
Even looking at the history of the ocean, Harald is definitely one of the strongest figures.
However, just as mentioned before.
The world that Roy is in now is actually a completely different field.
Having mastered the perfect way to use the bloodline factor source energy, although limited by the quantity of bloodline factor source energy and the desire to use it, he is still qualified to be called a god.
By constantly switching between abilities, he can do almost anything.
So at this moment, he simply looked calmly at Harald in front of him.
"A very chaotic bloodline factor energy..."
He could keenly sense the bloodline factor energy flowing within Harald's body and also perceive the other's physical condition.
Like General Toman, whom Rabbit encountered not long ago, Harald had indeed died, and then seemed to have been resurrected through something called "Greek".
Even their bodies are essentially still in a state of "death," but they can move around because of the existence of bloodline factor energy.
But it is different from the Dolman.
At this moment, through the "Netherworld" fruit, Roy could clearly see that Harald's soul seemed to have split into two parts.
One of them emanates a strong and chaotic source of bloodline energy, a power belonging to the "Abyss".
The other part appears relatively weak, but is resolute and strong.
"The majority of those souls were absolutely loyal souls implanted by Im after the resurrection of the Ancient Spirits."
.
"The other part is Harald's own soul?"
Roy could roughly guess this—after all, Harald's abnormal state during the battle was obvious even to a blind man.
But what puzzled him was...
"Why does this happen to Harald, but not to Doman?"
"Is it because Harald is stronger?"
This is the only thing Roy can't quite understand.
But clearly, now is not the time to think about these things.
because..
"Buzz!"
He gently raised his hand again and pointed at Harald's unconsciously lowered forehead.
A powerful surge of bloodline energy erupted once more—and the source of those countless bloodline energy sources was the abyss array located beneath Ghost Island, which originally belonged to the government.
Harald, who had been struggling violently, became blank again.
"Uh... Ahh!"
He knelt on one knee, suddenly covered his head with both hands, and let out a muffled growl.
At the same time, Roy could also see that the part of Harald's soul belonging to the abyss was being rapidly erased.
Instead, the soul that originally belonged to Harald began to expand rapidly after being freed from suppression.
Yes.
In fact, Roy had not originally planned to come to Onigashima himself. According to his original plan, he was supposed to take the Esther to Totto Land to suppress Kaido.
As for Onigashima, he believed that the clone of Usagi, along with Ace, Yamato, and the samurai of Wano Country, would be enough to handle it.
The original plan of the Rabbit was very simple—he would deal with the abyss magic circle on the island and cut off the World Government's support, while Ace and Yamato would be responsible for dealing with the Calamity of Death.
But after encountering former Navy Admiral Doman, one of the "Disasters" in the underground, he realized that things were not so simple, and even vaguely guessed the identity of the second "Disaster" on Onigashima.
After all, Harald's giant-like physique, immense strength, and the dense fog that accompanied each of his attacks, as Yamato called the "Death Calamity"—these were all hallmarks of Harald.
After Yamato and Ace officially engaged Harald in battle and vaguely determined Harald's condition, Roy made a decisive choice—he chose to come to Onigashima in his true form.
The reason is quite simple, of course.
For Roy now, as long as a creature's soul still exists, he can resurrect it even if the body dies—although this requires a considerable amount of bloodline factor energy.
But there is no doubt that Harald has that value.
Not only because he was Loki's father and the most powerful king in the history of the giants.
It is not just the power that Harald possesses.
Most importantly, Lloyd knew very well that Harald, at the end of his life, chose to go to Mary Geoise.
Roy could easily guess that he would learn a lot of secrets about the World Government from Harald. He didn't know about other things, but he could at least learn about the "Ghostly Nexus" from Harald.
That is why Roy chose to personally appear on Ghost Island after a moment's thought.
After all, if the opponent is Harald, simply having a slice of clones with locked abilities is not enough.
At this moment, Harald's expression underwent a distinct change from its previous coldness.
His face gradually turned to pain, then slowly to exhaustion, and then... a clear struggle.
"...escape...far away..."
He struggled to lift his eyes, as if he were fighting against the power within his body with all his might.
"Stay away from me, Star Lord—this is a conspiracy!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the Star Lord's movements seemed to falter for a moment.
conspiracy!?
However, the Star Lord has not yet made a move.
He was shocked to see that the bandages wrapped around Harald's armor were starting to come off.
And from within the detached bandages, the pattern that Ace and Yamato had previously blasted out was now clearly visible in its entirety.
It was a strange pentagram array that was extremely similar to the "Abyss Array".
"Buzz!" *5
At this moment, from the five points of the pentagram.
Accompanied by intense bloodline energy, five monstrous figures were clearly emerging from streaks of black flames.
The horse bones, sandworms, Itsumade, Fengxi, and the appearance of the five old stars were exactly the same as before.
If one had to pinpoint the only difference, it would be that the Ox-Demon no longer resembled Satan, but rather an old man with a hairstyle shaped like the moon.
That was none other than Figaland Garin.
The five elders quickly surrounded the star lord in the center, each exuding a strong aura of Conqueror's Haki and power.
"Buzz!"
They pushed the power of the Abyss Mark to its limit, and the intense bloodline factor energy even made the sky seem to tremble.
Then...
"6
'
Roy breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, that's right, I breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, when Harald mentioned the word "conspiracy" just now, he was quite surprised and even uneasy at first.
However, upon seeing the Five Elders, his apprehension immediately vanished. Roy, who had fought the Five Elders before, knew very well that their power was only so-so.
At least they won't be a more troublesome enemy than Harald.
And at this moment, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to illustrate this point.
At this moment, the Five Elders had already surrounded the Star Lord.
But the expressions of these five highest-ranking officials showed absolutely no joy.
In particular, the newly appointed Five Elders, Garin Seiichi, looked in the direction of the Star Lord almost immediately after his arrival.
Upon seeing the Star Lord, Garin's body even trembled noticeably.
It was as if I had seen something that was extremely terrifying in my memory, something that was even ingrained in my bones.
And that is indeed the case.
He would never forget what happened in the Valley of the Gods—after that battle, of the knights of the gods who participated in that hunt, only he and Junko survived.
Without exception, those knights of the gods died like ants at the hands of the monster before them.
And now, after such a long period of time... he finally saw the other person again, and stood in front of the other person once more.
"No... I have already obtained that person's power, and I have become much stronger over the years."
"This is my last chance, I...can't back down!"
But then, Garin Sei thought to himself.
In fact, his thoughts at this moment were shared by the other four Elders.
This is their last chance.
In the events that have occurred so far, they have lost the trust of that great man and their position as the world's highest authority, and are now only nominally managing the world.
And now, the reason they have been summoned here is... Lord Im told them that this is their last chance to serve him.
For this reason, that great man even unprecedentedly bestowed upon them a massive amount of divine power once again—the strength of that power far exceeded that of the previous ones!
"Lord Im successfully lured the Star Lord out of his divine realm through Harald's bait. We only need to kill him to return to our former positions... no, we can even gain greater power!"
"Don't hesitate, kill him!"
Even a star lord who is a god like Lord Im cannot exhaust our divine power in a short time... Attack!
The five elders communicated with each other telepathically, and their auras grew stronger.
At this moment, the Star Lord slowly raised his hand, preparing to make a move.
but...
"!!!" *5
In just a moment, the Star Lord caught the Five Elders' gaze shift from "firmness" to "astonishment" and finally to "horror".
Then he saw...
"bake!"
The dark flames that had been surrounding the Five Elders suddenly burst into flames in the next moment.
The raging flames instantly engulfed the five people, causing them to let out painful roars.
"Aaaaaah!" *5
From the Star Lord's perspective, one can see the bodies, power, domineering aura, and even the souls of the Five Elders burning.
"Lord Im...why!?"
"We...no..."
"Forgive us, we will..."
"My lord, didn't you say... the Star Lord has already... taken the bait..."
At this point, the Five Elders were completely unable to understand.
Weren't the Star Lord already trapped? Why would that great one want to wipe them out at this crucial moment?
But then they heard that calm yet indifferent voice from the depths of their hearts.
"Mother told you, this is your last chance."
"As promised, Mother has given you the opportunity—the opportunity to be loyal to Mother, to die for Mother."
The indifferent voice silently stated the truth.
The Five Elders arrived with great momentum, their hearts filled with fighting spirit and determination.
From the very beginning, he was a pawn to be sacrificed in Im's plan.
They believed they had come here to finish things off after the star lord had taken the bait.
But in fact, they themselves... were part of the bait.
"boom!"
At that moment, the bodies of the Five Elders were engulfed by dark flames.
Change began to occur from their corpses.
As mentioned before, before coming here, Im had bestowed upon the Five Elders an enormous, astonishing source of bloodline factor energy.
And at this moment...
That massive amount of bloodline factor energy is undergoing some kind of change with the death of the Five Elders.
The Star Lord can sense this in the unseen realm.
Centered on the Five Elders, an invisible pentagram array was formed once again.
But the difference is that at this moment, in the center of the magic circle, one can see a black demon phantom with flames burning all over its body and two horns.
He lowered his heavy, overlapping eyes and looked...at the Star Lord.
"Hmm... I've finally caught you, enemy of God."
