The Fall of a God

"How is this possible?" Zhong Su exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide. His confident move had been absorbed so easily?

However, he could also see that it was a problem with Teach's abilities.

But what kind of ability is this? He couldn't believe that someone could absorb his techniques.

The facts were already laid bare before him, but even so, he still wanted to give it a try. In his shock, he began to use his moves again, this time, probably his strongest move.

Teach could also see that this so-called god was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), after all, his facial expressions were extremely exaggerated, his eyes were almost bulging out, and his mouth was wide open. Compared to his previous surprise, he no longer looked like a god.

Even Enel is like that; this meme looks kind of funny.

Zhong Su calmed down. He was about to unleash his most powerful move. Looking at Teach and the others, he said, "I didn't expect you to have such a method. Blue Sea People, then taste this move. This is a blessing from the gods. To die by its hand is definitely the luckiest thing that will ever happen to you. After all, this is the first time you have ever seen this move since its inception."

Surprised, he quickly regained his godlike demeanor.

"Even if you are fortunate enough to possess god-like abilities, you are still a false god. Faced with the power of a true god, slumber beneath it."

"Divine Realm - Supercritical!"

One could sense that a powerful force was accumulating within the god's body, seemingly waiting to erupt at any moment.

His figure rose into the air, steam billowing from beneath him propelling his body forward.

As Zhong Su's voice faded, a powerful force erupted from his body and spread outwards.

Supercritical, exceeding critical temperatures of both high and low, unleashes terrifying heat and cold, melting everything, freezing everything, destroying everything, and creating a terrifying explosive impact.

This technique is a perfect combination of high and low temperatures, giving people a service experience that Ice and Fire Dual Heaven.

Furthermore, it incorporates compression, expansion, and explosive impact, representing the culmination of all the abilities developed by the Steam-Steam Fruit.

This is a power that inspires fear, and it represents the ultimate secret of the Steam-Steam Fruit, developed by China and the Zhong Su, possessing immense destructive power and terrifying annihilation.

As the Zhong Su states said, this is the realm of God, a realm that destroys everything.

Supercritical, as the name suggests, is a temperature that exceeds the critical point. Teach could feel the extreme temperature of this move, with the highest temperature reaching over 600 degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature reaching over minus 70 degrees Celsius.

This move is far from its limit; as the ability is developed, the maximum temperature can be increased.

The explosive force of compression and expansion can also enhance the impact force.

Even Teach this move seriously. A faint purple light flashed in his eyes. He could already see the terrifying destructive power of this move in the future, and he could feel it just by looking at it.

Teach's intuition told him that this move was incredibly powerful, and even he dared not underestimate it, given that he had been eating Devil Fruit for so many years and had developed its power to a very high degree.

But that alone is not enough to pose a threat to him. As the nemesis of Devil Fruit users, the damage from Devil Fruit abilities is something that, with his current strength, there is virtually no dark power that he cannot devour.

He could absorb and even devour Whitebeard's shockwave or Sengoku's Great Buddha Impact.

If they could make contact, they could even temporarily nullify their abilities, allowing them to combine their own physical skills to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy.

As this move was unleashed, the entire world seemed to lose its color, and a white barrier visibly erupted from Zhong Su's body.

This is the domain, and also the ever-expanding range of his power.

This range is vast; if a god were to use it at full power, it could even cover most of Birka Island. This demonstrates the immense power of Logia abilities, a terrifying force often referred to as a natural disaster.

Furthermore, simple steam in his hands is in no way inferior to top-tier Logia Devil Fruit like the Chill-Chill Fruit and the Magma-Magma Fruit, at least in terms of destructive power.

However, God must have some control over it, after all, it is His kingdom, and He cannot destroy it so easily.

Even so, its power remains undiminished.

In an instant, Teach also acted, using his technique once again, "Black Hole!"

For such a wide-range attack that spreads so quickly, Teach's Dark Vortex naturally cannot be too small; if he absorbs it too slowly, some energy will dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, the dark vortex expanded several times over, reaching a diameter of twenty meters, truly resembling Black Hole, as if it were about to devour everything.

The two unleashed their attacks in just a few breaths; the god's move was certainly not as simple as just a white barrier.

The next moment, the interplay of cold and heat, the mingling of crimson and blue, instantly illuminated the entire domain, permeating every corner of the entire power field.

From a distance, the area released by God appears purple, a jewel-like purple that shimmers with light—a wondrous color born from the fusion of ice and heat.

It looks incredibly beautiful, but if you were actually inside the entire area, you would experience hell, a despair worse than death.

Freezing and burning, coupled with terrifying impact and immense pressure—this is supercriticality.

The perfect combination of two conflicting forces, contradictory yet bringing even more terrifying destructive power.

Such a technique is extremely difficult to resist, even for those with Armament Haki, because both high and low temperatures can be conducted, and it can be transmitted into the body even through Armament Haki.

Furthermore, this isn't fire or ice; it's steam, permeating the entire body and capable of penetrating the body, even directly through your pores or respiratory tract.

Supercritical, truly deserving of its name, transcends boundaries and breaks limits.

Beneath the dazzling purple light, an infinite dark gravitational pull caused a terrifying dark vortex to spin rapidly, devouring everything, including the air, and even the exploding steam rushing towards them.

Neither high nor low temperatures had any effect on Teach's dark vortex.

What was being swallowed was the air itself. It was visible to the naked eye that from a distance, the purple light was being continuously devoured and absorbed. The entire purple domain, which was originally semi-circular, now looked like it had a hole in it.

Within the area encompassed by the god's power, the area primarily affected was the ground, which sank downwards.

The palace behind them, and the houses surrounding the center of Birka, were all destroyed and turned into ruins under the terrifying impact and high pressure.

"No, impossible." On the Sky Island, after this move, God's eyes widened. The black curtain that had not disappeared was clearly visible to the naked eye, and the dark vortex that kept spinning and devouring everything was clearly visible. He could feel that the air, the Cold Steam and hot steam he created were being swallowed up by the darkness.

The entire domain, everything he created was like a marshmallow, being constantly devoured. Even from this distance, he could feel a powerful force pulling at his body, seemingly trying to suck him into that dark vortex.

Flying through the air propelled by the steam, he found it difficult to even maintain his balance under such force.

Now, he was genuinely afraid; it was the first time he had felt fear since receiving divine power.

After all, he has now exhausted all his options, and he doesn't even know what methods the enemy has used; all of this is unknown to him.

These are all ranged attack techniques. He naturally also has close combat techniques, but he's not stupid. His Observation Haki allows him to sense the powerful auras of these Blue Sea People. If he rushes in, he will inevitably be surrounded and attacked.

Even though he could transform into elements, Teach had already demonstrated a similar ability. He wasn't sure if there were any other people among these Blue Sea People who possessed similar abilities, but Teach definitely had ways to harm him. Once swallowed by that dark vortex, he couldn't guarantee what he would experience.

Moreover, the threat he Mind Net was undeniable; it was a tremendous threat.

In this way, he was basically out of options. He hadn't expected that his strongest move would be so easily countered, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

Should he run? That was his thought, but he didn't have much time to hesitate.

"Everyone, what is your purpose in coming to Birka? If you need anything, I might be able to help you." The god lowered his head, without much thought. He didn't want to leave Birka; Birka was a kingdom he had built up over many years, how could he easily give it up?

Even though he could go to other Sky Island, such as Angel Island, he didn't think much of them.

"Heh, let's deal with him." Teach just smiled faintly at the words of the god Birka, not caring at all. He could have dealt with him long ago, but out of curiosity about the god's abilities, he gave him a stage to demonstrate them.

The performance proved to be quite good; in his eyes, Birka 'Zhong Su abilities were nothing more than a performance.

If God knew, he would surely vomit blood.

Rediat, standing to the side, nodded slightly. The next moment, his body vanished from the spot—this was pure speed and explosive power.

Rediat's figure appeared behind the god flying in the air. The god had already sensed Rediat's arrival and noticed it, but there was no time to deal with it.

His eyes twitched slightly, but his body couldn't react in time. His physical skills were lacking, his physique was poor, and he hadn't experienced much combat. In Rediat's eyes, he was extremely slow-witted.

Such slowness can only be overcome by relying on one's Observation Haki.

It's important to know that Rediat hasn't even used his full strength yet, given the significant difference in their abilities.

Instinctively, the god's body elementalized, turning into colorless steam that also contained extremely high heat, allowing him to evade attacks while simultaneously causing harm to others.

However, he never expected that this world had Armament Haki, a Devil Fruit User against Logia Devil Fruit users, could detect their Logia.

Boom!

With just one kick, carrying terrifying force, the air roared and twisted.

With his hands in his pockets, he kicked the god directly in the waist. The elemental body was hit by the kick, which was imbued with Armament Haki, and was passively transformed back into a solid form.

Before the god could even react, he was struck. Wasn't he supposed to be immune to physical attacks? This puzzled him greatly, but he didn't have time to think about it.

The blow to his back caused his body to bend like a bow, leaving him suspended in mid-air. The next moment, his body shot out like a cannonball, feeling immense pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and flying backward powerlessly.

The direction it flew off was precisely towards Teach's side.

The gods' fighting power mostly lies in their Devil Fruit, and their bodies are very fragile for Rediat, especially without Armament Haki to enhance their defense.

With just one kick, Rediat could easily kill or destroy Birka.

However, this god is still somewhat useful, so we cannot kill him. We need to keep his name and kill him after we have finished using him.

In order not to kill the god Birka, Rediat had to carefully control his strength to avoid accidentally killing him.

All it takes is to kick him into serious injury; that's definitely a skill in itself.

With a tremendous crash, the god's body slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. But it wasn't over yet; it continued to roll forward, towards Teach.

Wallace took a few steps forward, appearing in front of the god's path. Seeing the rapidly approaching figure, Wallace reached out and grabbed one of the god's feet, lifting him up to stop him from moving forward.

The god had already lost consciousness; a single kick had rendered him senseless. He had numerous wounds on his body, inflicted while rolling along the way.

The god who was once high above all others and displayed terrifying divine power has now become like this.

The other crew members were alright, Enel was completely stunned, staring wide-eyed at Rediat had already returned, though he couldn't see what had happened.

Rediat's kick revealed something; it was pure power. A single kick contained such terrifying force—was this even achievable by a human?

He was initially afraid after witnessing the terrifying power displayed by the god, but later, the god's power was easily resisted and absorbed, which relieved him.

Now, the vice-captain of the Night Pirates has made his move, displaying such terrifying strength in just one strike.

As the situation changed, Enel's heart was in constant turmoil.

Along the way, he also gained some understanding of the Night Pirates from the members around him, including who the officers were and their identities.

Enel was completely stunned. A powerful god was defeated so easily, even with such terrifying divine power, the power known as the Devil Fruit.

Good heavens, what pirate crew did he join? He couldn't help but think of what the crew member next to him had said earlier, and now he wanted to find out what the Night Pirates represented.

But before that, he must pass the Night Pirates' test; only then can he join the Night Pirates.

A burning light flashed in Enel's eyes—it was ambition, a desire for immense power.

Today is a special day, opening the door to New World, a powerful force.

He too wanted to become stronger; he never wanted to live that ordinary, humiliating life again.

He wanted to board this ship to see the real world, a new world.
