Longinus and Doflamingo!
"Hallucigenia."
Imu was somewhat surprised to hear the word, because he had almost forgotten about it.
After Stussy finished recounting the report from the Biochemical Research Institute, Imu was even more astonished.
Doesn't this mean that the World Government, which controls the Hallucigenia, controls the fate of the entire Eldians?
In an instant.
Imu fell into deep thought, while Stussy stood silently at the table waiting.
What use is having the ability to annihilate all Eldians in an instant?
To use them to threaten them into serving the World Government?
This seems redundant, because even without the Hallucigenia, the World Government is perfectly capable of wiping out the Eldians; it's just a bit more complicated.
As for whether it can be used to threaten 'Ymir'.
For a great vengeful ghost that had 'lived' for over two thousand years but was only looking for death, the extermination of the Eldians was hardly a threat.
It was something she desperately wanted.
"So this Eldians Hallucigenia seems to be like a chicken bone to us—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away," Imu Chunin.
However, those primitive Hallucigenia seem to offer room for manipulation.
For example, creating a new 'Founding Titan'.
Then, new 'Eldians' can be derived from this person's bloodline. Similarly, new 'Ymir', 'Coordinate Space', and 'Bloodline Path' can naturally be created.
The process was rather troublesome and bloody.
First, a primitive Hallucigenia needs to come into contact with a human, and then once he gains the abilities of the 'Founding Titan,' others can eat his spinal cord.
These people who then consumed the spinal cord would continue to reproduce, gradually forming a new 'Eldians'.
The 'progenitor' that was eaten will create a new 'Coordinate Space' in the dimension between the Underworld (the realm of souls) and the Human Realm (the realm of matter).
Think about it carefully.
If we follow the normal rate of biological reproduction, it would take at least nine generations for this new 'Eldians' to multiply and thrive.
That's over a century old; for the current World Government, it's somewhat of a waste of resources.
"Is it possible to use human cloning technology?"
A somewhat wicked thought surfaced in Imu's mind.
Looking at the report from the Biochemical Research Institute that Stussy over, sure enough, these scientists had also thought of this point and had openly included it as an experimental protocol.
The question now is whether he should agree.
"Ymir is determined to die; she is clearly unreliable."
"For the World Government to fully master that ability to Future Sight, which is comparable to a 'simulator,' it truly needs a 'Ymir' who is loyal to me and can endure long periods of solitude and loneliness."
Imu thought to himself.
He's the kind of person who tends to think from a self-interested perspective.
While ensuring our interests are protected, it would be even better if things could be made more interesting.
Therefore, he actually had some support for creating new 'Eldians'.
The key question is whether the medium for the 'Titan Power' should be placed in a clone or in a natural person.
The former will certainly form very quickly, and their loyalty should be guaranteed. They could even be made to have no feelings for each other, appearing so perfect.
But as a time traveler, Imu knew that there was no such thing as 'perfection' in the world.
Beneath a seemingly 'perfect' surface, there are bound to be hidden dangers that are difficult to detect. This is the 'experience' he has gained from numerous 'fantasy works'.
On the contrary, some things that don't seem 'perfect' and have exposed flaws are easier to control.
And also
Imu doesn't like boring things. Clones have no thoughts, no feelings, they're too dull.
In comparison.
He would prefer to create an interesting new race to bear the Titan Power, even if it might take more time.
This requires him to think about it carefully.
At the same time.
Longinus, under the respectful guidance of the chief administrator Senior, walked from the deck of Noah through four decks before finally stepping through the door to the fifth deck.
Saul, clad in golden, blood-patterned armor, greeted the Celestial Dragons with a kneeling posture.
Although he is the commander of the 'Giant God Soldier', he still has to kneel and greet the Celestial Dragons, because Imu needs to ensure the authority of the Celestial Dragons' class.
It doesn't mean that being by your side guarantees equal treatment with the other Celestial Dragons.
But.
The Empress of Imu Sea and the Shichibukai do not need to kneel Celestial Dragons. The former goes without saying, and the latter is equivalent to Imu's Divine Messenger, whom even the Five Elders cannot disrespect at will.
"So powerful! Even stronger than those Giants on the previous floors!"
Longinus glanced at Sauro as he passed by, but his face was obscured by the veil pulled down, so all he could see was Saul's orange-red fur.
The nascent awakening of Awakening Observation Haki allowed the former to sense an unfathomable aura emanating from the latter.
On the other hand...
The aura emanating from those few 'Giant God Soldier' below was enough to surprise Longinus.
After all, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a fledgling who has just graduated from the academy and has not experienced much fighting.
As for the age of eighteen.
It can only be said that not everyone is Luffy or Zoro, nor does everyone have their experiences, and not everyone can rival an emperor in their twenties.
Longinus has been on Noah ever since.
Start from that deck.
The emotional impact I experienced along the way was no less than that of Esdeath before.
A colossal Golden Bell Tower, Millennium Dragon soaring through the sky, and an enormous feathered serpent that can transform into a blue-skinned human at will.
There were also Baboon and green manatees that, while seemingly playfully fighting, displayed speed and strength comparable to many of the school's instructors.
Although he was a Celestial Dragons of incomparably high rank.
But in the end, he was just a young man who had lived in the 'Land of the Gods' in Mary Geoise for fifteen years and then studied at the 'Celestial Holy Palace Academy' for three years.
Especially the fourth floor, which is like both a forest and a garden, filled with all sorts of magical plants and giant insects.
It gave him a feeling of seeing a different scene at every turn, a sight that was too much to take in.
Every detail elevated Imu's image in Longinus's mind.
They also deeply realized the vast difference in status between Imu and ordinary Celestial Dragons like themselves.
[Boom! Bang--Boom boom boom----]
Suddenly, Longinus first heard a loud roar, and when he looked up toward the source of the sound, he saw a place in the distance that looked like a square.
There was a 'Giant God Soldier' wearing golden, blood-patterned armor.
Holding a golden blood-patterned round shield in his left hand and a golden blood-patterned longsword in his right, he unleashed seemingly endless bolts of lightning as he engaged in a fierce battle with a tiny pink figure that was tumbling and moving at high speed.
Every time the two collide, a surging shockwave erupts, spreading in all directions.
By the time the wind reached Longinus, it had become a strong, sweeping gust of wind.
Who is that person?
He instinctively stopped and asked.
"Reporting to Saint Longinus, that is Saint Doflamingo of the Donquixote clan, currently engaged in his daily sparring with 'Thunder Giant' Dorry the Giant God Soldier."
Chief Administrator Senior replied respectfully.
Doflamingo
Longinus noticed that the other person looked very young, probably only a few years older than himself, and a question immediately arose in his mind.
Wasn't I the only elite graduate in the first graduating class of the Celestial Holy Palace?
