Ren merely smiled. "Other than that, what else do you feel?"
Madara Uchiha's eyes flickered as he pondered. "I'm not sure yet. I need to explore it properly. But I remember drinking with Hashirama yesterday, then I fell asleep right away. Why does it feel like the entire world has changed when I woke up today? And why is Hashirama here? He seems to have no life in him at all!"
Madara Uchiha looked toward the distant Hashirama, his expression clearly filled with doubt.
Ren chuckled without saying much. He merely laughed. "Haha... you'll find out soon enough. I need to awaken the others now!"
Filled with delight, Ren gripped the Hōgyoku tightly and looked toward Whitebeard.
Multicolored light enveloped them, and Whitebeard and Hashirama awakened from their slumber.
The instant Whitebeard awakened, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. After all, they were all powerful experts and could easily detect subtle changes.
Yet Whitebeard seemed to recall something and laughed heartily. "Gurararara... It feels strange, but I think I'm about to embark on a special voyage!"
As Whitebeard spoke, Ren smiled and looked at Kayle and Morgana, who had already entered. "Kayle, Morgana... explain things to them. I need to awaken the others now!"
As soon as he spoke, the Hōgyoku bloomed with multicolored radiance. Guided by Ren's powerful will, it directly enveloped Hashirama, Ace, Ryder, World...
A total of ten people, all once Ren's subordinates, now awakened alongside the Hōgyoku's energy!
Not long afterward, the ten revived men listened to Kayle's explanation.
Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, a domineering smile on his face. "Haha... what an interesting world! I merely slept for a while, yet when I woke up again, I had arrived in a new world! A world filled with souls and Death Gods. How fascinating!"
