Sig has stopped. Although there are theoretically still two teams of trainees, since they are both Mutel's teams, the outcome is already obvious.
At this moment, all nine elders—excluding the missing Long-Faced Elder, seven who were still in office, and two who were about to retire—quickly went to find Sig.
At the same time, a full three hundred people, Warrior were all the Divine Soldier Unit currently in Bilca City, also received the signal and approached Sig!
This immediately made Angel and the others, who hadn't reacted yet, tense up. They quickly found the fallen Sig and stood with him.
Facing the approaching Divine Soldier Unit, Angel angrily shouted, "What do you want to do?"
Angel didn't know that the God-God Fruit was the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit," and thought that Sig had passed the trial, which made these guys disregard the rules of the trial!
"Your Angel, we have important matters to question your husband about... You used the power of the God-God Fruit, didn't you?" The thin and short Elder Long stepped forward, carrying the wooden box that should have contained the fruit. The last part of his question was directed at Sig.
"Huh?" Angel was taken aback by what he heard.
Sig stepped forward and said, "What are you trying to say? We have now passed the trial, Angel is already a god of the Sky Island... The Divine Soldier Unit are only temporarily managed by the Elder Council while there is no 'god', right?" As he spoke, Sig glanced at the cavalry riding Four-winged Bird flying to the side.
"No... Although it is true that one can possess the God-God Fruit after becoming a god, but..." Elder Long was not going to let this guy fool him. The difference between becoming a god first and then being granted the fruit, and "stealing" the fruit first and then using its power to become a god, is enormous!
However, he was overthinking it. What Sig wanted to say wasn't that "Angel is already a god, and I can possess the power of God-God Fruit," but rather...
"What exactly are you guys trying to say? If I understand correctly... you're not saying that although Angel has become a 'god,' you can no longer hand over the God-God Fruit that you've been holding in trust, are you?" Sig said, his eyes flashing with electricity again.
The elders were stunned for a moment, then their faces showed indignation—shouldn't we be asking you how our safekeeping went wrong?
"You..."
Before they could even utter a word of rebuke, Sig threatened, "If that's the case, as God's husband, I cannot stand idly by while you sinners are left to shun!"
As if as accompaniment, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in the sky continued to rumble as Sig began to speak...
What was originally just dark clouds has, thanks to Sig's provocation, now become a real thundercloud!
"And you! Are you the loyal Divine Soldier Unit of 'God,' or the lackeys of these irresponsible elders? Now... prove your loyalty immediately!" Sig then swept his gaze across the Divine Soldier Unit.
The "intimidating" aura of Conqueror's Haki is contained within its power, yet its oppressive presence is palpable.
As for the Divine Soldier Unit and such, Sig doesn't really care about them...
Indeed, the 300- Divine Soldier Unit is very strong. If the Red-Hair Pirates's officers don't intervene, this 300- Divine Soldier Unit could even defeat the Red-Hair Pirates's regular combat personnel—the power boost from various combat tokens is simply too much of an advantage!
However, if Shanks were here, he could wipe them all out instantly, Sig could also wipe out more than 90% of them instantly. The Divine Soldier Unit are also composed of people drawn from various clans, and in terms of elite status, they are not as good as the Trial Squad.
They're just better at teamwork and have plenty of combat equipment.
However, no matter how many battle coins they carry, it won't give them any extra resistance to Conqueror's Haki...
If Sig were to intimidate them, everyone except the Divine Soldier Captain and Vice God Soldier Captain would be rendered useless.
The fact that they have very poor resistance to Conqueror's Haki is a common flaw in the Sky Island system, which relies on its mastery of "Mantra" and the use of Battle Shells to enhance its combat power.
If faced with Martial Arts who truly possesses the power to Impact Dial, or a swordsman who can truly wield a slashing strike, even Shanks might not be able to knock him unconscious in the present day, let alone Sig.
However, even Sky Island Warrior who has "perfectly mastered the power of the Impact Dial" and "perfectly mastered the power of the Slash Dial" would still be instantly defeated by Sig's Conqueror's Haki...
Under the intimidation of the "shock and awe" statement, the Divine Soldier Unit hesitated for a moment.
"What do you want to do? The disappearance of Elder Sangchid hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet! We previously discovered an Island Cloud cave in the back street of the outer city, suspected to be caused by high heat or lightning..."
An elder whom Sieg didn't recognize stepped forward; Sig only remembered that he was also from Abesdevo.
Before he could finish speaking, a three-meter-diameter bolt of lightning descended, completely engulfing him. Those around him were unable to offer any assistance, and the lightning even affected other elders nearby!
"You..."
Amidst the vigilance of the other elders and surrounding guards, the lightning pillar dissipated, leaving only a completely pierced hole in the Island Cloud, revealing the Sea Cloud below.
Sig looked at them with a blank expression, as if to say, "Is this the kind of hole?" Of course, Sig knew that the hole in the back alley must have been made by Lucky Roo.
Abesdevo's guards immediately tried to rescue their elder, but as soon as they reached the cave, they sensed Sig's Mantra locking onto them.
Under this silent threat, the guards couldn't help but stop and hesitate. Just like that... Sig didn't speak, and no one dared to make a move, but they could all imagine that the elder was gradually sinking to the bottom while unconscious.
No! The White Sea has no "bottom." If it truly bottomed out, one would fall from the Accumulating Emperor Cloud above.
After a long pause, Sig finally spoke slowly amidst the thunder, "What crime is it in Bilca to question 'God'?"
Elder Long took a deep breath before speaking softly, "It was just... a reasonable inquiry, and Molen is also an elder, but the occasion is inappropriate... he should be confined to his quarters for ten days."
"Too few. Bring him back, lock him up for ten years, Deprivation of his eldership!" Sig said, looking at the Divine Soldier Unit.
From the moment the confrontation began, Sig appeared arrogant and domineering, but he was actually quite "busy" all along...
When someone wants to incite everyone to resist, they use "intimidation" to lock them in and apply pressure; when someone actually wants to resist, they immediately use "appeasement" to suppress their emotions; and when someone is dissatisfied with the cowardice of others, they use "Frenzy" to incite them.
As a result, no one stood up to challenge "Seven" head-on; instead, they all backed down.
One of the deputy captains of the Divine Soldier Unit gritted his teeth and accepted the order. He immediately led a few men down into the hole to retrieve Molen.
This action seemed to be obeying Sig's orders, but it was also actually an attempt to save Molen...
"Saving Molen" gave them a reason to "obey Sig's orders," and at this point, regardless of their true thoughts, Sig would give them a "Psychological Suggestion" that "you have obeyed orders!"
This creates the impression that the "Divine Soldier Unit" has submitted to the new god, and afterwards, their mentality will lean towards loyalty to the god.
Angel was still in a daze, not yet having reacted, when Sig turned around and pulled her forward. "My goddess, what do you plan to do with these guys who failed to God-God Fruit?"
