Chapter 605: Looking Down on Elbaf!
The palace hall was deathly silent.
Usopp clung tightly to a thick, load-bearing stone pillar. His whole body trembled violently and uncontrollably.
He swallowed hard.
He slowly peeked half his head out from behind the stone pillar, his gaze passing over the legs of the giant warriors like Hajrudin to look out of the hall.
Outside, a chaotic snowstorm raged. Dark red light churned within the clouds.
He rubbed his eyes hard. His vision was still blurry.
Luluffy
Usopp's voice trembled. His vocal cords were frozen. He turned to look at Nami beside him.
"Is Luffy still outside?"
Nami stood beside another stone pillar. She did not answer.
The top of the Weather Staff was empty. The black thunderclouds that had been gathered had long since been dispersed by the aura.
Her meteorological science, which she was so proud of, seemed like child's play in the face of real power. But she did not back down.
She forced herself to stand up straight. Her legs were trembling slightly.
Her spine was ramrod straight. She had to stand.
She is the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Elder Yaru's warning still echoed in the hall.
Outside the royal palace.
The eastern side of the battlefield ruins was once a magnificent complex of buildings. Now, only charred rubble and melted ice remain.
The wind and snow were forcibly pushed aside by an invisible force, creating a vacuum zone.
Loki the Black Dragon had retracted his enormous, sky-covering body. He had transformed back into human form.
He sat cross-legged on the left side of the stone.
Luffy was sitting to the right of the boulder. He had also deactivated Gear 5 Nikita and returned to his normal form!
There's also a squirrel mine nearby!
A small mountain of food was piled on a boulder in front of the three. It was a storehouse of top-quality supplies in the giants' royal palace.
Loki had just pulled them out when the building collapsed. Dozens of giant, roasted, golden-brown, and juicy hind legs of ferocious beasts.
Luffy's eyes turned into stars.
At this moment, all he could see was the mountain of flesh before him.
"Rubber rubber randomly scratches flesh"
Luffy shouted.
He used the rubber fruit's stretching ability to dry rice. A dozen arms extended simultaneously.
They precisely grabbed more than a dozen pieces of bone-in giant beast meat, still dripping with blood.
He stuffed the pieces of meat into his mouth with all his might.
Oil and juices splattered from the corners of his mouth.
"It's so delicious! It's so good!"
Luffy shouted incoherently while chewing vigorously.
He raised his arm to wipe his mouth. His eyes shone with innocence and fearlessness.
"I need to eat lots and lots more food to beat up the big bad guy who fell from the sky!"
He reached out and grabbed two roasted pig legs, stuffing them into his mouth. Nika's form was consuming a massive amount of food to replenish its energy.
His stomach was like a bottomless pit, frantically extracting energy from food.
Loki sat beside him. He wasn't as exaggerated as Luffy.
But his eating habits were equally wild. He grabbed half a roasted pig weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand.
He opened his mouth, revealing sharp dragon teeth. He bit off half of the pig's body in one go.
He swallowed it whole, skin and bones.
The black dragon Nighold's power grants him an incredibly terrifying digestive ability. Food entering his stomach is instantly converted into energy.
His chest bulged high. His dark red vertical pupils were fixed on the teleportation array in the sky.
He was gathering his strength. He was waiting for that ancient evil spirit to descend.
And there's the squirrel Iron Thunder next to it.
Just like Luffy and Loki, he's also eating like crazy!
The scene of the three people looked extremely eerie on the battlefield of destruction. On one side was the eve of a world-destroying divine war.
On one side, people were indulging in carefree eating and drinking. This brief contrast created a distorted tranquility in the surrounding air.
Tranquility is always meant to be broken.
Iron Thunder's tail suddenly stopped swinging. It was about to bite off a large chunk of flesh, but its movement froze in mid-air.
The little guy's few tufts of hair on his head suddenly stood straight up. His big, black eyes widened instantly.
An extremely human-like and profound shock surged from the depths of his pupils.
Animal instincts are often more acute than the Observation Haki of top-tier fighters.
Tie Lei got angry.
A powerful sense of oppression suddenly descended from the sky.
Tie Lei sensed a familiar presence.
It then let out an extremely sharp cry.
The two little paws suddenly released the flesh from their hands.
It transformed into a streak of brown lightning. Its speed was extreme.
It plunged headfirst into Loki's heavy, dark red cloak. It clung tightly to the fur lining of the cloak.
His meaning was clear: the enemy that had come was extremely powerful, stronger than any before.
Loki stopped eating. He swallowed the last bite of roast meat in his mouth.
His brows were furrowed tightly.
Loki's dark red vertical pupils, which were covered, suddenly contracted.
He abruptly raised his head. His gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced the sky.
The sky above the Elbaf Royal Palace was now obscured by a massive teleportation array. The black and red array, several kilometers in diameter, rotated slowly.
It turned the entire sky of Elbaf black.
The space deep within the formation was violently torn apart by an invisible hand.
A jet-black beam of light crashed down vertically from the center of the formation.
The beam of light has a diameter of more than ten meters.
With a devastating and violent shockwave, it swept wildly in all directions from the royal palace as the center.
It lifted up a layer of frozen soil more than ten meters thick from the ground.
The massive rock on the east side of the ruins was the first to be hit.
A fierce wind swept in. The mountain of food piled on the boulder was instantly destroyed.
The golden-brown roasted beast's leg was torn apart by the shockwave. Chunks of meat and bones transformed into a barrage of projectiles that shot into the distance.
More than a dozen barrels of ale exploded simultaneously. The amber-colored liquor vaporized into a thick mist in mid-air.
The giant loaf of bread was ground into powder.
Luffy's outstretched hand, poised to grab the meat, froze in mid-air. His pure white hair was whipped straight back by the gale.
The muscles in his face were violently deformed by the wind pressure. He had to cross his arms to protect his chest.
His feet gripped the surface of the boulder tightly.
Loki's crimson cloak was blown off his shoulders. He pressed one hand against the edge of the boulder.
Fingernails dug deep into the stone. The armor sparked blindingly in the wind and sand.
The blast wave subsided after a full ten seconds.
Dust and snow fell from the sky. The battlefield became clear again.
All eyes were fixed on the top of the palace.
The once magnificent palace dome no longer exists.
Instead, there is a huge circular gap with a diameter of over ten meters. The edges of the gap are as smooth as a mirror.
There were no fragments or cracks. A piece was simply erased by some rule that defies common sense.
And at the edge of that ten-meter gap, on top of the massive stone beam that had been cut off again.
A figure was standing there.
It was a figure dressed in a wide black robe!
The figure exuded an aura of endless darkness.
It was Im's true form.
Centuries later, I left the holy site once again.
They descended into what the Celestial Dragons called the Lower Realm!
This self-proclaimed sole true god officially stood on the battlefield of Elbaf.
The black robe remained perfectly still amidst the turbulent high-altitude air currents. Not even the wind dared to touch the hem of her garment.
A wide hood covered most of her face, revealing only her pale, paper-white jawline.
Suddenly, two dark red lights appeared in the shadows beneath the hood.
Those are Im's eyes.
There was no anger in his dark red eyes. There was no pity.
They possess no human emotions. They are solely characterized by absolute, condescending indifference.
Those eyes moved, their gaze passing over the swirling dust.
Im is looking down over the whole of Elbaf.
