Seeing Lin Yuan's confidence, Ain said nothing more and placed her white palm directly on Lin Yuan's chest.
Lin Yuan did not dodge, but carefully sensed the energy in Ain's hand.
At this moment, he felt a special power of rules spreading throughout his body, seemingly originating from the same source as his Time-Time Fruit, wanting to Time Rewind to 12 years ago.
"Thump, thump..."
Suddenly, Lin Yuan's heart began to pound violently, and he seemed to hear a dragon's roar in his mind.
Just as Ain's ability was about to alter Lin Yuan's body, he sensed that the power of Zhu Jiuyin he had previously sought to Awakening, was stirring again.
However, before the power of Zhu Jiuyin could be activated, another inexplicable force within his body began to resist.
What was described as resistance felt more like absorption to Lin Yuan; in just a moment, the energy that Ain had applied to Lin Yuan vanished without a trace.
"Huh?!"
Everyone looked at Lin Yuan with curiosity, and a hint of surprise flashed in Ain's eyes.
" Lin Yuan, you're alright! What just happened? Why didn't my ability work?"
"Hehe, Ain, try again!"
Lin Yuan had already sensed the fluctuations of the fruit's power, and in order to better perceive it, he planned to have Ain it again.
Ain nodded, then patted Lin Yuan again, but nothing happened.
Ain looked at Lin Yuan in surprise. She could assure him that she had indeed used her ability just now, but why did Lin Yuan not react at all?
Lin Yuan gently closed his eyes, carefully sensing Ain's power fluctuations, or rather, the power of those rules.
A full hour passed before he opened his eyes, nodded to Ain and the others, and spoke again.
" Perona, it's your turn!"
"Hehehe, it's finally my turn! Damn Lin Yuan, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
" Negative Hollow!"
The others were used to Perona's personality and watched the scene with smiles.
However, the moment these ghosts appeared, Robin and the others quickly retreated, and even the strong Yamato looked at these flying ghosts with some apprehension.
Lin Yuan did not dodge, letting these Negative Hollow rush over his body.
Instantly, countless complex emotions flooded his mind, relentlessly eroding his will.
"This is the power of negativity! How interesting! It corrupts one's will? But Perona's development of it isn't quite there yet!"
Lin Yuan endured it with all his might, his powerful mental strength resisting this negative force. Suddenly, the power of Zhu Jiuyin, which had been stirring earlier, was activated again.
"Roar..."
At that moment, everyone heard the voice coming from Lin Yuan's body. Perona was startled, and her Negative Hollow was directly blasted away.
"What is this? It's terrifying! Lin Yuan, you're cheating!"
Perona pouted and protested incessantly, but Lin Yuan had no time to pay attention to her and instead focused his attention on the source of the sound.
"This is the power of Zhu Jiuyin. Although it is said that there are demons within Devil Fruit, this should be another kind of power of rules, the power of Zhu Jiuyin?"
In order to resist Perona's Negative Hollow, the power of Zhu Jiuyin within the body actually retaliated automatically, or rather, was disturbed, and was directly swatted away!
Lin Yuan smacked his lips, a smile spreading across his face.
"Such a domineering ability. Unlike the power of time, the power of Zhu Jiuyin is more inclined towards offense."
However, Lin Yuan was extremely excited that both the power of time and the power of Zhu Jiuyin had just been mobilized.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Sugar, and said with a smile.
" Sugar, let me experience the power of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit!"
Everyone except Sugar tensed up, because she could actually cancel this ability on her own.
"Then you'd better watch out!"
Although her voice is like a child's, Sugar is already in her twenties and her mindset is clearly different.
"Okay, come on!"
Sugar's small body suddenly jumped up and slapped Lin Yuan's stomach, and an even more domineering power appeared on Lin Yuan.
"Right now!"
Lin Yuan's body froze for a moment, then he suddenly activated the fruit's power. At this moment, not only the power of Zhu Jiuyin, but also the power of time were activated by him.
"Roar!!!"
A domineering dragon roar resounded throughout the entire island, while invisible waves enveloped the entire island.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's body transformed into the Zhu Jiuyin Form, but it was much smaller, only about a thousand meters long. A golden pattern appeared in his originally Crimson Eyes and Golden Pupils.
Not only that, the dragon's original black and red body has also changed, gaining a new color: gold.
Lin Yuan, in his dragon god form, roared to the sky, his enormous dragon eyes constantly closing.
A terrifying scene unfolded: as Lin Yuan closed his eyes, the sky, which was already at dusk, began to cycle between day and darkness.
However, at this moment, no one in the entire " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce saw it, because Lin Yuan had just activated not only the power of Zhu Jiuyin, but also the power of time.
Everyone in the entire " Abyss " Merchant Guild, as long as they were enveloped by the power of time, was frozen in place; even Zephyr and Naguri were affected.
"Roar..."
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan let out another long roar, and his enormous body suddenly plummeted down, returning to human form while still in mid-air.
With a thought, enormous wings composed of black, red, and gold energy suddenly appeared behind him, freezing him in mid-air. His clothes had already disappeared, but he wasn't exposed.
A garment made of flowing clouds enveloped his body, shimmering with starlight and forming mysterious patterns. At the same time, a golden Inazuma bolt ornament appeared on Lin Yuan's forehead.
" Dragon God Wings! Not only can it fly, but it can also slash, and even be used as an energy attack. In Human-God Form, all abilities are enhanced more than tenfold."
Raising his hands, Lin Yuan discovered that his body had undergone a complete transformation. His skin's resilience had increased more than tenfold, and his flesh, bones, and internal organs had also been strengthened.
"Is this the true Devil Fruit Awakening? This feels amazing."
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt he could take on three Kaido, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
He landed gently on the ground, and seeing everything around him frozen in time, Lin Yuan showed no surprise.
"This is the domineering power of the Time-Time Fruit, the Time Domain! I have Devil Fruit Awakening."
" The Human-God Form of the Zhu Jiuyin Fruit, the domain power of the Time-Time Fruit! I am now truly terrifyingly strong, capable of taking on the combined might of the other Four Emperors."
"Moreover, this also allowed me to perceive a trace of the true power of rules. The true Awakening of Devil Fruit abilities is only just beginning for me."
Lin Yuan was in a very good mood. He had unexpectedly gained so much, all thanks to Sugar and the others.
"As for the Sugar issue, that can be easily resolved as well."
"Smack!"
Lin Yuan snapped his fingers lightly, and within his domain, Sugar's Devil Fruit ability was suppressed. Then, Lin Yuan activated his Time Acceleration ability again.
In his gaze, Sugar grew at a visible speed, and then stopped when he thought it was about 1.9 meters tall.
Although she is not as tall as Monet, she is no shorter Robin. Moreover, Sugar, when she grows up, looks a lot like Monet, both having a gentle-looking face.
However, due to her rapid growth, Sugar's clothes burst open, but luckily she had a cloak that covered her private parts.
The sky was now dotted with stars; Lin Yuan's Awakening had taken several hours.
" Time Domain, dispel!"
