Natural Energy Absorption and Cultivation! (Third Update)
Just as Imu's Noah gained a new guest.
With the conclusion of the "Two-World Talks".
The World Government Teigu World began to have frequent and comprehensive contacts and exchanges.
After all, the agreement only existed on paper.
Real benefits must be obtained through practical actions.
First.
The 1st Main Battle Legion is led by Army Headquarters Admiral Akainu and Army Headquarters Admiral Demon Shark.
They began packing their bags to return to the Canberra Continent of the 'Giant World'.
Meanwhile, the Army Headquarters' garrison corps dispatched two divisions.
They replaced the former in guarding the Star Gate Base inside the snow-capped mountains and the city where the World Government branch was located.
To make it easier for everyone to refer to the city, both sides gave it a nickname.
'Snowlight City'.
It symbolizes the only city in the Snow Region that enjoys sunshine.
This is mainly because the World Government wants to build a habitable city in this snowy Northern Snow Region heavy snow falls all year round.
They invited Admiral "Kizaru" from the Air Force Headquarters.
It unleashed the Awakening of the Glint-Glint Fruit in the sky, completely clearing away the wind, snow, and dark clouds in the area where the city was located.
However, this also turned the city into a city that never sleeps, a City of No Night that is always sunny and never nights.
Although doing this means you'll need to draw the curtains before going to sleep.
However, Minister Adair, who hails from a summer island in the first half of the Grand Line, finds this much more comfortable than the cold living environment.
It is worth mentioning that after the Three Armies forces officially withdrew from the Teigu World.
Imu will Sweet Commander move the stargate to this 'Snowlight City'.
This will save time for people from both sides when traveling between them.
Meanwhile, according to the terms of the agreement.
Dean Isaac, who needs to go to the Sea Star Homeworld to take up a post, and Senior Alchemists Taylor.
There's also Gozuki from the Empire, the Dr. Stylish.
The Yami Tsukahara Sword Saint the Shenwa Island Country and his granddaughter, Princess Yami-hime, have also arrived here.
However, the Star Gate is currently being 'occupied' by the Army troops.
Therefore, during this period, I could only accept Minister Adair's invitation to stay temporarily in Snowlight City.
This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the time.
Learn more about the rules of the World Government and Sea Star.
The province made a big fuss after receiving the order, which was undignified.
And so the days passed Tenten.
As more and more people from both realms moved into Snowlight City, the atmosphere inside and outside the city quickly became lively.
It seems everyone here has forgotten the war that just ended and the casualties on both sides.
On the other side.
It is also located in the Northern Snow Region, but at the northernmost tip of the continent.
On a snowfield bordering the Arctic Ocean, nearly a hundred white tents were set up.
Inside the camp, one could see guards dressed in silver-gray armor, carrying white cloaks, and holding steel guns, either standing guard or patrolling in groups, resembling a military camp.
However, the most eye-catching feature was the flag hanging high in the center of the camp.
White background with black Five-Circle Cross!
About 300 meters away from the campsite, a small, crystal-clear Iceburg can be seen in the distance on the cold sea.
Meanwhile, a magnificent frost throne stands atop the Iceburg.
Esdeath, dressed in Heavenly Phoenix Hundred-Bird Dress, crossed her long, slender, white legs.
He sat upright on the throne, letting the icy, biting wind blow around him.
It's as if an ice goddess has been slumbering here since time immemorial.
However, her current appearance is somewhat peculiar.
It not only has two ice-blue tentacles on its head that look like some kind of deer antlers.
Moreover, his overall size seemed to have increased considerably.
That's right.
This is Esdeath's Hybrid Form from her Kirin Fruit.
She has been meditating in this state for nearly five days.
This also caused great concern among the CIPHER POL and the leaders of the Holy Land Garrison responsible for protection on the shore.
Every day, we eagerly await the return of this Empress.
After all, they haven't eaten or drunk anything for five days!
If anything goes wrong, they'll all be in deep trouble.
Esdeath, however, felt no hunger or thirst whatsoever.
On the contrary, I felt that my body was in the most comfortable and cool state.
In this somewhat dark spiritual world.
She first sensed several white specks of light in the air.
Then, over time, the number of light spots increased.
Until some drifting specks of light happened to touch his body and merge into it.
She then realized that these points of light must be the Natural Energy that Red Lotus had mentioned.
This greatly excited Esdeath, and she began to continue with abandon.
Not long after.
She discovered that she could seemingly channel her emotionally charged consciousness into her spreading Observation Haki, thereby 'summoning' the surrounding points of light.
But unexpectedly...
These points of light had just come into contact with these Divine Power waves.
It drifted slowly toward her location as if in 'response'.
From then on.
Begin on the second day of meditation.
Esdeath has officially entered the stage of autonomously absorbing ice-attribute Natural Energy.
And on the third day.
She suddenly had a whimsical thought: what if she could transform her body into Kirin?
Esdeath, always decisive and efficient, naturally acted on her thoughts as soon as they came up.
He immediately activated the power of the Devil Fruit within him, transforming from human form to beast form.
Really!
After transforming into Kirin and closing his eyes to meditate, he immediately noticed the densely packed dots of light around him.
They surged in like a tidal wave, each one seeming so eager to arrive.
This greatly surprised Esdeath.
Because she had noticed that she was absorbing more and more Natural Energy.
Not only did the power of ice within her body become stronger, but her senses also became more acute.
The most obvious change is that the range of Observation Haki is expanding at a visible rate.
But not long after...
Esdeath then discovered that her stamina could not keep up with the demands of maintaining her beast form.
She knew this was because she hadn't yet Awakening.
This forced her to revert to human form.
Having just enjoyed the highly efficient absorption speed of the beast form, how could they possibly accept the extremely slow 'turtle speed' of the human form?
Ultimately, Esdeath retained her Hybrid Form.
Although this form is not as efficient as the beast form, it is still much stronger than the human form.
Moreover, the physical exertion is roughly offset by the restorative effect of Natural Energy.
[Buzz----]
After an unknown amount of time, Esdeath suddenly opened her icy blue vertical pupils.
Suddenly, a surge of cold air, resembling white mist, erupted from her body.
In an instant.
The sea surface within a radius of several hundred meters was instantly frozen.
"So this is the power wielded by the Divine Beast? It looks pretty good~"
Esdeath opened her palm, looked at the white, cold air swirling between her fingers, and chuckled softly.
She could clearly feel that her control over the power of ice had improved significantly.
Moreover, the Natural Energy absorbed further enhances various aspects of the body.
Most importantly, even with her eyes open, she can now faintly sense the ice-attribute Natural Energy in the air.
They can even be manipulated to gather or dissipate near the skin with movement.
It roughly means being able to manipulate the Natural Energy on the body's surface to attack from a certain distance, while also inflicting a certain degree of frostbite.
It's somewhat like Emission application of Armament Haki.
However, it lacks the robust defensive capabilities of Armament Haki.
