Imu's Terror

"The power to destroy this continent, the Uranus?" Roy asked without even raising his eyelids, seemingly unsurprised by Imu's words.

"Uranus... is the core technology of the Lunar People. The power it contains is incomparable to that of defective products like Pluton Poseidon, not to mention that it is the ultimate killing weapon after being fused with the Sun-Sun Fruit."

"The Sun-Sun Fruit..."

"The Sun-Sun Fruit is a superior version of the Glint-Glint Fruit. If my Seal-Seal Fruit is the most powerful Paramecia Fruit, then the Sun-Sun Fruit is the most top-tier Logia-type Fruit."

"The qualitative change brought about by the combination of these two is something that even I need to treat with caution!"

Seeing Roy remain silent, Imu continued, "That's right, with your power you can indeed stop Uranus's arrival, but that's without my involvement. In this situation, what can you possibly do?"

"Nightmare, now you should understand why I risked everything to appear on this continent!"

As if to confirm Imu's words, the continent was suddenly shrouded in a huge shadow, dark and gloomy. Everyone looked up and was surprised to find that a magnificent city was floating in mid-air.

"Hiss... That's the Holy Land Mary Geoise! So this is the Ancient Weapon Uranus who holds the title of 'God'!"

"Could it be that in the war two years ago, we were fighting on the enemy's ultimate weapon?"

"No wonder we lost that war so inexplicably; even at the end, no one knew where the Uranus's power came from!"

After Mary Geoise appeared in the sky above the continent, it was gradually enveloped in a blazing white light, like a dazzling sun, radiating endless light and heat.

Then, the light and heat continued to compress and condense, actually compressing the light in this space into a towering pillar of light with a diameter of less than half a meter. Even just a glance from afar could make one feel the terrifying energy contained within, giving one the illusion of having one's soul burned.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the terrifying pillar of light, powerful enough to destroy a continent, crashed down.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, including those from the World Government and Marine Headquarters. They had no confidence in escaping an attack of this magnitude. If the continent were destroyed, dying in the aftershocks of the collision would be their only fate.

The Pluton II – the Giant Soldier, which appeared out of nowhere in the ocean, surfaced with its weapon system. Terrifying energy waves gathered at the dark muzzle of the cannon, which was then aimed at the sky and fired.

Boom!

In the intertwining of light and darkness, the light gradually gained the upper hand, the darkness gradually receded, and everyone's hearts sank. This was the first time they had hoped that darkness could prevail over light.

However, the predetermined future will not be changed by human will. The dark energy that was enough to annihilate space finally disappeared like snow melting in spring after offsetting part of the pillar of light. Although the light of the pillar of light that reached the sky was much dimmer, it still continued to fall with undiminished momentum.

Roar!

At this final moment, a colossal Giant Sea Kings leaped out of the sea, blocking its thousands-of-meters-long fleshy body above the continent. Blood splattered and then instantly evaporated, as if it had been erased from the painting by a god transcending this dimension.

The beams of light, whose energy had been largely neutralized by two consecutive interceptions, still caused violent turmoil on the continent, much like a Great Earthquake. The shockwaves even reached the coast, creating terrifying waves hundreds of meters high.

However, while such turmoil might be devastating for life on the continent, it is still within the continent's tolerance range.

"To actually send those stupid Giant Sea Kings to their deaths, Nightmare, you really are ruthless!"

That being said, Imu didn't seem to be mocking them much. For ruthless leaders like them, nothing was off-limits, let alone a bunch of beasts with little intelligence. If he were in their shoes, he would have made the same choice.

"That's their value and meaning!" Roy said hypocritically.

"Hmph, even if you can block the first attack, how will you deal with the following attacks? I want to see how many Giant Sea Kings you have left to sacrifice in your place!"

"Back in the war two years ago, I had already collected some data about the Uranus. If I'm not mistaken, this level of attack, in terms of frequency, would require at least a three-second interval before the next round of shelling," Roy said calmly.

"To be able to draw such a precise conclusion from such vague data, Nightmare, it seems you have quite a few capable people under your command. However, even if you are right, what can you do in just three seconds? Even if you have a hundred Giant Sea Kings, you can only extend that time to three hundred seconds, which is nothing more than delaying your demise." Imu said nonchalantly, feeling confident of victory.

"To be precise, it should be 113... Now it's 112. Three hundred seconds is enough time."

Imu frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "Nightmare, what do you mean? Are you bluffing?"

"Since you also covet the power of the Dream Domain, you should know what terrifying power is contained within that vast Dream Domain that weaves the dreams of tens of millions of people. Two years ago, I was already no less powerful than I am today. Do you really think that I have regressed instead of progressed in these two years?" Roy's expression was indifferent, and his aura was still rising.

"How is that possible? That Dream Domain should have been out of your control long ago. Otherwise, with that kind of power, you wouldn't have needed to waste so much time with me!" Realizing the situation was out of control, Imu exclaimed in shock for the first time.

"Ninety percent of my strength is used to maintain the operation of the Dream Domain. I was only fighting you with ten percent of my strength before. I just didn't expect your strength to be so great, forcing me to use more of my power to deal with you."

Imu's face was gloomy, showing no joy at being "praised". By this point, he no longer doubted Roy's words, because the other party's aura far exceeded his imagination, as if a real god was standing in front of him.

"If I use 20% of my strength, I should be able to hold out for five minutes. During that time... it's enough for me to kill you countless times."

Roy's words, on the contrary, calmed Imu down, who mentally told himself, "If he only has 20% of his strength, he might still have hope if he can hold out for five minutes. Once the continent is destroyed, all his power will belong to me!"
