Sabertooth had to admit that he'd made the right call. With everything sealed shut, the gold dust couldn't do much, but he couldn't keep holding his breath forever.
More importantly, his enemy wouldn't give him the chance.
Buzzzzz!!!
A dull rumble filled the air as it was compressed, as if something immensely heavy were plummeting at incredible speed.
He looked up. The Goddess of the Heavens, gleaming all over with gold, came crashing down. The ground shattered for miles around, slabs of earth buckling upward into hills as the shockwave flattened buildings across a vast area, leaving behind a wasteland.
Her entrance alone was enough to shake the world.
Sabertooth kept his eyes closed, but that did nothing to hinder his senses.
Facing the Goddess of the Heavens, he radiated savage menace.
The Golden Emperor still hadn't shown himself. He was clearly ignoring Sabertooth.
Did he think he could defeat him just by controlling the Goddess of the Heavens?
How laughable.
"That's the Golden Emperor's Goddess of the Heavens!"
"It's the Golden Emperor!"
The people of Water Seven recognized who was behind it as soon as they saw the Goddess of the Heavens.
After all, there was only one in the entire world.
Clang! Clang!!!
The clash of weapons rang out. The Goddess of the Heavens, standing 150 meters tall, broke apart into every kind of blade and spear, along with the Chains of Heaven. They rained down across the sky like a net, terrifying the pirates and civilians in the surrounding area.
"Run!"
"Fall back!"
"Damn the Golden Emperor!"
"I'm not leaving! If I capture the Golden Emperor, I'll become the richest person in the world!"
"So much gold! I only need to carry off one piece!"
Greed, terror, fervor—every facet of human nature played out before them.
