The second Truth left, a burning sensation suddenly came from the back of Imu's left hand. At the same time, a red glow rose from below and reflected before his eyes.
Imu looked down and saw crimson lines emerging across the back of his hand, forming the outline of a tree in the blink of an eye.
This tree looked much like the pattern on the Gate of Truth behind Truth when they had first met, except the one on his hand was simpler.
"The Kabbalistic Tree of Life."
As a transmigrator—especially a seasoned Japanese anime fan—he recognized its origin immediately.
Legend had it that this tree stood at the center of "God's Garden of Eden." Other legends said it symbolized "the entire universe," served as "the path to God," and represented "God's omnipotence."
In short, it had an incredibly lofty image, which was why so many Japanese anime works referenced it.
The instant the pattern was completed—
Imu naturally understood what he could do now.
He lightly tapped the sofa beneath him with a finger.
The originally soft, comfortable material and its red base with golden patterns instantly transformed into a hard Golden Throne. With another tap, it turned into an icy black stone chair.
This was the so-called Stigmata Alchemy, which ignored elements and mass, freely transforming matter within the limits of one's knowledge.
The same applied if the target was a living creature.
For most people, this ability was already a terrifying killing move that meant death at a touch.
However, Imu also knew that if someone possessed power similar to Armament Haki, then as long as they were strong enough, they could completely resist the effects of alchemy.
Even so, its danger could not be underestimated.
After all, the first step of alchemy was decomposition.
