The Acting Was Too Poor; the Celestial Dragon Suffered Brain Death!

"I promise you: as long as these two CP0 agents die, I absolutely will not kill you. This is my promise, Brando's promise."

After handing the Celestial Dragon a kunai, Brando continued to tempt him.

"Really?"

Although Saint Charlos knew the other party was very likely deceiving him.

He had no other choice now.

"Of course. I swear in the name of the Will of the Overlord: if you make these two CP0 agents kill themselves, then I, Brando, will absolutely not kill Saint Charlos."

Brando even made the oath quite formally.

[Remember this site's domain name. Taiwan Novel Network has a vast collection of books; ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ lets you read as much as you want.]

Not killing him did not mean Brando would not cripple him. Sometimes, living was more painful than dying.

Brando's malice was practically written all over his face, yet Saint Charlos only felt as if he had grabbed onto a lifeline.

The two CP0 agents in the distance looked despairing. Before they could speak, Saint Charlos directly ordered, "You two, kill yourselves."

To the Celestial Dragons, every living thing other than themselves was inferior.

Losing two CP0 members was nothing. They could easily be replaced, as long as he survived.

"Saint Charlos... if we die..."

Linus wanted to explain the consequences.

But Brando gave them no time to think. He took out another kunai and stabbed it into Saint Charlos.

There were now four kunai embedded in the Celestial Dragon's body.

"I wonder how much more blood you have left to lose."

Brando's tone was calm, but to Saint Charlos, it sounded like a countdown.

"Hurry up! Do you want to watch me die?!"

"If you still don't act, you know what will happen!"

"Someone else, kill them! Are you refusing to obey my orders?!"

Saint Charlos screamed.

His entire voice had turned shrill, making it especially grating.

"Looks like the intimidation still isn't enough. Next, I'll cut off an arm."

Brando spoke unhurriedly.

Saint Charlos's heart leaped into his throat, and he was just about to explode into curses.

Linus and Sara could only weakly raise their hands, point an index finger at their own hearts, then stab themselves without hesitation.

Blood immediately spurted from their hearts. Linus and Sara clutched their chests and collapsed weakly, blood flooding the deck as their hearts stopped beating.

"They're already dead!"

"Please let me go!"

Saint Charlos hurriedly begged Brando as he looked at the two corpses.

None of his former pride remained.

"That acting... was way too fake."

Brando could not help but mock them.

Did they think he would fall for that?

"Amaterasu!"

Brando directly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and unleashed Amaterasu at where the two had fallen.

In an instant, Black Flames appeared where Brando's gaze had locked on and immediately began burning their bodies. At the same time, bloody tears ran from Brando's right eye.

Sure enough, the two people engulfed in the Black Flames immediately moved, trying to slap the flames off themselves.

But they quickly discovered it was useless. Wherever they touched, the Black Flames instantly spread over. In the past, ordinary flames could be extinguished with a casual wave of their hands using compressed wind.

"A so-called god can't even control his own subordinates. They're deceiving you too."

Brando mocked Saint Charlos.

Saint Charlos was dumbfounded. He had never expected the two CP0 agents to fake their deaths.

Though he understood they had likely done it to protect him, he could not accept that his orders had not been carried out completely by these lowly commoners.

Linus and Sara immediately tore off their clothes, but their skin had already been covered by the Black Flames. There was no way to peel them away. Their skin was instantly scorched, and the flames continued spreading across the rest of their bodies.

Seeing this, they could only try covering their bodies with Armament Haki to resist the burning Black Flames. They found that it did have some effect, but it could not completely block the heat.

Had the two of them been in normal condition and constantly using Observation Haki, Amaterasu would not have been easy to land on them. But they had insisted on playing dead and suppressing their presence entirely, making it impossible to use Observation Haki. Naturally, they could not dodge.

The Black Flames shaken off their clothing fell onto the deck and immediately began spreading outward.

"What is this?!"

"Those flames are going to burn me!"

Saint Charlos looked extremely tense.

The nearby World Government members had already tried to put out the fire, but it was completely useless. They could only keep retreating.

"Kagutsuchi!"

Brando directly used his other ocular technique, controlling the Black Flames on the two CP0 agents and changing their shape.

They turned into spikes and pierced through the areas not covered by Armament Haki.

The Black Flames left inside their bodies after piercing through them, and even Armament Haki was useless against them.

The two CP0 agents died in despair. In truth, they had one final chance to risk everything and try to kill Brando, but with the Celestial Dragon nearby, they could not do so.

The slave mentality had been deeply ingrained in CP0's minds. Even in death, they did not dare harm a Celestial Dragon and could only wait helplessly to die.

Two people with the combat strength of Marine vice admirals died just like that in the waters near the Goa Kingdom, burned to ash by the flames of Amaterasu.

"They're dead now, so you can let me go, right?!"

"If we stay here, we'll be devoured by these Black Flames."

After witnessing the power of Amaterasu's inextinguishable flames, Saint Charlos wished he could immediately jump into the sea and get away from this place.

But the threat at his neck forced him to speak gently and try to persuade Brando.

"Of course. I said that once they died, I wouldn't kill you."

Brando looked as though he were being perfectly reasonable.

Yet for some reason, Saint Charlos felt an overwhelming sense of panic upon hearing those words.

"You're such a wonderful person!"

Saint Charlos racked his brains before managing to squeeze out a compliment.

Brando released the kunai, grabbed Saint Charlos by the throat, turned his head toward himself, and made him look into his eyes.

Saint Charlos saw only a pair of blood-red eyes marked by intricate patterns, then instantly lost consciousness.

Brando did not use genjutsu. He simply used his ocular power to invade Saint Charlos's brain, then used spiritual power to destroy his cerebral nerves.

An ordinary person had no ability to resist this at all. Perhaps only a strong person with Conqueror's Haki could withstand this move.

Saint Charlos suffered immediate brain death and became a vegetable.

Brando let go of his neck, and Saint Charlos collapsed limply onto the ground.

"Soru!"

But at that instant, two World Government members dressed in black suits attacked Brando from behind.

Yet their attacks ultimately struck only an afterimage. After dealing with the Celestial Dragon, Brando had instantly teleported away. What remained in place was merely the afterimage of the Clone Technique.

"Recognition from the Will of the Overlord: You bravely and fearlessly attacked the 'god' of this world, rebuked him as a country bumpkin, and filled him with terror..."
