Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Imu sat silently on the Empty Throne, holding the satirical newspaper.
The total strength of the Neo Marines is approximately four million, while the total strength of the Navy is only one million remnants. Even if the forces of other World Government are included, the Navy is far from being a match for the Neo Marines.
The Neo Navy now possesses the immense power to completely control this world; they are like a ferocious beast, eyeing this vast land with predatory intent.
However, he wasn't too worried about the six Admiral on Neo Marines's side.
After all, he still has the God's Knights and the Cipher Pol; if he pulls them together, he can probably gather fifteen or sixteen of them.
Compared to the six Admiral announced by Neo Marines, his side has even more.
If we exclude Luo Wen, the Neo Marines's current size is no different from the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear, only with a larger number of members.
He didn't even need to get involved; the God's Knights alone could handle it.
But, but!
But there was one guy named Luo Wen, who was too strong, too terrifying.
The God-Slaying Spear that annihilated Saint Mercury Paramount War still replays in his mind to this day.
That one shot wiped out three of the Five Elders, but that doesn't mean it could only wipe out three of the Five Elders.
He was even certain that many of the Five Elders would have died if they had stood in front of that shot.
He still possesses the Celestial Dragons' National Treasure and retains the power to strike.
However, Luo Wen possesses a strange resurrection ability, and even National Treasure cannot guarantee that they can kill Luo Wen.
Therefore, National Treasure can only be used as a last resort.
Find the right opportunity to wipe out the entire Neo Marines that have gathered together before or at the start of the final battle.
It doesn't matter even if Luo Wen doesn't die.
If they were to lose a million troops and many of their Admiral, then Luo Wen would no longer pose such a threat.
If he finds a place to hide, it will be very difficult for Luo Wen to find him on his own.
He is immortal, and he might be able to wait until Luo Wen grows old or reveals a weakness.
He still has a chance!
"He knows about the National Treasure, but he doesn't know when I will launch it." Imu gripped the newspaper tightly, seizing his last chance. "Once Luo Wen has gathered all his forces, I'll find an opportunity to unleash the power of the National Treasure."
"Don't rush, don't rush. I have a chance, but only one. I must strike at the vital point!"
The activation of the National Treasure requires a lot of energy, but Vegapunk's research is not yet complete, and the National Treasure lacks a stable energy source.
After the attack, the National Treasure will be rendered useless for a period of time. If the attack does not achieve the desired result, he will have lost his last chance.
Ironically, if it weren't for Vegapunk's clone leaking the information, he wouldn't even know about the Mother Flame.
If the Mother Flame is completed, he will have National Treasure with no need to worry about energy, and he may not be afraid of Luo Wen.
Just as Imu was lost in thought, Grand Master Figarland Saint Garling of the God's Knights entered the hall with two members of the God's Knights.
Saint Garling, whose hair was as white as the moon, bowed respectfully to Imu: "Lord Imu, I have brought the person over."
"Um."
Imu scrutinized Saint Garling and the other two.
These three are all members of the God's Knights, and each of them is roughly as strong as the original Five Elders, making them suitable replacements for the new Five Elders.
The deaths of Mercury and the other two who were connected to a portion of his power severely injured him, causing him to lose some of his power, but this also freed up three slots for power connection.
These three spots must be used; perhaps they can even trick him into giving away another God-Slaying Spear.
The only downside is that this method cannot be used frequently.
The portion of his power that was annihilated by Luo Wen cannot be recovered. If he uses the Five Elders to block bullets a few more times, his own power will be completely gone.
For now, let's distribute our strength among these three.
Imu's figure suddenly changed, and a huge demonic phantom swayed in the void behind him. He calmly said to Saint Garling and the other two, "From today onwards, the three of you will succeed Saint Mercury and the others as the new Five Elders."
Saint Garling: "Yes, Imu Im."
"I am willing to die for Lord Imu!"
The other two were even more respectful than Saint Garling, and looked at Imu with great fervor.
They were not afraid of Imu's demonic form; on the contrary, they held him in the highest esteem.
Although I had guessed it before coming, I was still very excited when I heard the result.
They're going to become the Five Elders!
The Five Elders are not only the most powerful beings among the Celestial Dragons, but they are also granted immortality by Lord Imu!
Prior to this, only the captain of the God's Knights could successfully advance to this position.
It was only after the strange event of the deaths of three of the Five Elders that they were qualified to become the Five Elders.
"Make good use of this power and bring me victory!"
Imu nodded calmly, then stared at the three of them with his scarlet eyes.
A massive black magic circle appeared beneath the three of them, from which billowing black flames erupted.
The black flames were as deep and dark as hellfire, terrifying and eerie, sending chills down one's spine.
However, the three people bathed in black flames seemed to have taken some kind of divine medicine, each showing an expression of enjoyment.
After a long while, the magic circle dissipated.
The three, Saint Garling, seemed to have been reborn, their bodies filled with strange, foreign power.
Unlike their own strength, which allows them to command their own forces, these powers only submit to Lord Imu.
But these are minor matters and don't matter much, since Lord Imu is the one they are loyal to anyway.
They were excited, they were ecstatic!
From this day forward, they will have lifespans of hundreds of years and near-immortal bodies.
"Imu, Lord Im, for bestowing upon me your power!"
The three members of the Saint Garling knelt down in unison before Imu.
"Hmm." Imu nodded slightly. "Saint Garling, go to Egghead Island and keep an eye on Vegapunk. Make sure he completes the research on the Mother Flame as quickly as possible."
"Vegapunk has an alter ego named York, who has defected to us. You can have him cooperate with you."
The Mother Flame is of paramount importance; if he obtains it, he could even reverse the current situation.
The Celestial Dragon National Treasure, with its limitless energy, is definitely a strategic weapon comparable to the God-Slaying Spear.
It can not only be used to eliminate Luo Wen's men, but also to bombard Luo Wen endlessly to see if he is truly immortal.
"I understand, Lord Imu," Figarland Saint Garling voice, "I will certainly bring back the Mother Flame for you."
