A Tree Planted by Chance Grew into Shade-Fate Authority

If Wu Tong were to wield this power, it would absolutely strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.

However, if the enemy were to gain control of this power, then Wu Tong himself would be the one living in fear.

Although Wu Tong is immune to most types of attacks after becoming a god, these types of attacks absolutely do not include the power of Fate Strike, Causality Strike, etc.

Perhaps in the future he will be immune to this power, but right now he is completely powerless against it.

(It won't kill you, but it will hurt a lot!)

Fortunately, the person who is about to wield this power is not Wu Tong's enemy, but Wu Tong himself.

That's right...

Wu Tong is about to take control of the power of destiny.

Perhaps it was an unintended consequence; he had originally only intended to find some Smooth-Smooth Fruit to make his wife more beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Wu Tong had a sudden inspiration and, through a small experiment, actually managed to obtain a portion of the power of Fate Authority.

Although this power comes from only one person's fate, and only a small part of it.

However, some things, once you have them, you have them. After all, going from zero to one is a qualitative change, while going from one to one hundred million is an accumulation of quantity.

Therefore, for Wu Tong, who possesses the transcendent Wisdom Divinity, as long as he has come into contact with the Power of Destiny...

(Transcendent Wisdom Divinity: Wu Tong's Wisdom Divinity is Divine Grid shaped by the external cheat "Comprehension Against Heaven".)

Therefore, its true essence far surpasses Wu Tong's own strength. Thus, this Wisdom Divinity, far exceeding his own level of power, is what Wu Tong calls Overlimit Divine Grid.

Then, based on his understanding of the Power of Destiny, he can conduct in-depth analysis and comprehension until he finally gains complete control over this Authority over destiny.

The thought that he was about to wield the Authority of destiny, and that he could unleash such terrifying attacks at will in the future, filled him with a sense of awe.

A genuine smile immediately appeared on Wu Tong's face.

Meanwhile, Koby, who was standing to the side, started trembling after witnessing Alvida's disappearance.

On top of that, seeing the creepy smile on Wu Tong's face made him tremble like a leaf.

It is well known that under extreme fear, a person is completely unable to control their body's reactions.

Therefore, a mark that had been gradually spreading appeared on Koby's pants at some point.

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

At this moment, Wu Tong, who had just snapped out of his daydream, suddenly felt an unpleasant, pungent smell coming from the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but frown.

Then, looking around, he saw the marks that were gradually spreading on Koby's pants.

Wu Tong:...

Is he scared out of his wits?

Seeing Koby's disheveled state...

Wu Tong frowned, then immediately shut down his sense of smell.

Without saying a word, he controlled Koby and washed him in the seawater dozens of times before suspending him in mid-air again.

After doing everything, Wu Tong unlocked her sense of smell.

Feeling the air that no longer smelled bad, Wu Tong said, "Much more comfortable!"

"Ugh... ugh..."

Once again suspended in mid-air, Koby was washed by seawater dozens of times, inevitably swallowing some seawater.

The thought that the seawater might... no, it definitely contained his own urine made Koby vomit in mid-air.

However, Koby's fear of Wu Tong and his desire to live forced him to beg Wu Tong for mercy.

As Koby vomited, he begged Wu Tong for mercy, saying, "Spare me, sir, I'm not... ugh... not a pirate."

I am... ugh... a civilian who was captured by them.

"Please... oh... sir, spare my life."

Wu Tong listened to Koby's words without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

He already knew that Koby had been arrested.

But so what?

Anyway, Wu Tong has never liked Koby.

Putting everything else aside, Wu Tong couldn't stand Koby's performance during the Marineford War.

Marineford War, what kind of place is that?

The battlefield between pirates and the navy is a life-or-death struggle, with both sides fighting to the point of life and death.

But what was Koby doing at that crucial moment? He actually wanted to desert?!

The thought of this made Wu Tong feel nauseous.

Deserters are despicable even in peacetime, let alone in wartime.

It is important to understand that in the midst of a battle, if any soldier deserts, it can severely damage the morale of that side and lead to defeat.

Therefore, if a deserter is discovered during wartime, the first thing to do is to execute the deserter on the spot to uphold military discipline.

(On this point, I side with Akainu; in that situation, deserters truly deserve to die.)

Therefore, Koby's desertion, placed on such an important battlefield as Marineford War, would be an unforgivable act, deserving of death a hundred times over.

Moreover, if Koby only intends to desert, then so be it. After all, it is somewhat understandable to act irrationally when faced with the fear of death.

But what Wu Tong found most incomprehensible was:

After returning to the battlefield, Koby actually felt pity for the pirates who were his opponents, and even tried to stop his own admiral (Akainu) from killing the enemy.

The Navy took pity on the pirates and even stopped their own strongmen from attacking them... What kind of nonsense is that?

If he were a pirate, these actions wouldn't be a problem, but since he's a Marine, that's a big issue.

On a smaller scale, one could say he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see killing; but on a larger scale, Koby was a complete opportunist and a shameful traitor to one's allies.

There's a saying that goes, "If loyalty isn't absolute, then it's absolute disloyalty," and "Once disloyal, always disloyal."

Therefore, after witnessing Koby's various actions, Wu Tong had long understood that Koby was just a fickle opportunist with wavering Faith and stances.

Therefore, Wu Tong never liked this guy Koby.

Therefore, at this moment, they will not let him go just because Koby begged for mercy.

After vomiting in the air for a while, Koby recovered and, seeing that Wu Tong didn't attack him, assumed that Wu Tong intended to let him go.

Just as he was about to put on a relieved smile, he realized he had survived a close call.

Wu Tong's next words left him frozen in place.
