" Thunder God! Raijin Island! The Divine Staff! Are you really connected?"
Vic gazed at the combination of black lightning like a fountain and the stepped circular platform in front of him and muttered to himself, "Such a harmonious scene, if you still say that they weren't originally one, probably no one would believe it!"
With the presence of the Divine Staff, the black lightning seemed to have found its home. It no longer struck the sky, but instead retreated back into the Divine Staff like a fountain in time reversal. The other lightning on the periphery, as if afraid of the black lightning, dared not compete with it and became weak and shy!
However, the other colors of lightning are not actually weak and timid; rather, they have genuinely weakened, their momentum and power diminishing, starting when the black lightning stopped striking the sky!
A day later, the lightning completely disappeared, as the thunderclouds Raijin Island gradually dissipated. In just one day, the sky Raijin Island cleared up completely. Except for the black lightning still gathering into the Divine Staff, Raijin Island was no longer worthy of its name!
In fact, after Vic mastered the Law of Lightning, he knew the operating rules of Raijin Island. The first thing was that black lightning struck the sky, which gathered a large area of thunderclouds!
Then the black lightning split within the thundercloud, gradually transforming into lightning of other colors. This is the origin of the other colored lightning on the outer perimeter.
Therefore, the existence of Raijin Island was entirely caused by the black lightning, the mastermind behind it all. So, once the black lightning stops striking the sky, the thunderclouds Raijin Island will gradually dissipate, and naturally, other colors of lightning will no longer exist!
A week later, the black lightning on Raijin Island completely disappeared, absorbed entirely by the Divine Staff —not a single drop remained.
Vic sat there cross-legged for a week, without trying to comprehend any more Laws. The land of raging lightning was not suitable for comprehending other Laws, so Vic could only cultivate Haki!
"As expected, its power has increased to a new level; it can be considered a backup plan!"
Vic retrieved the Divine Staff from the platform and sensed it, discovering that the Divine Staff contained powerful and violent fluctuations of Laws.
He only needs to spare a wisp of his consciousness to control the Divine Staff and mobilize the Laws within it for combat. In this way, the Divine Staff becomes equivalent to a God Realm expert with a single, somewhat rigid attack method, which is already quite impressive!
At this moment, apart from a pitch-black ground that had been constantly struck by lightning and become uneven, there was nothing else to see on Raijin Island. After receiving a phone call, Vic wandered around the island, stopping and starting as if sensing something!
" Galaxy Impact!"
"Break!"
After walking around, Vic seemed to have truly sensed something. He leaped to mid-air in the center of the island, his body twisting freely, and his fist, wrapped in a large amount of Conqueror's Haki, punched vertically downwards with earth-shattering power!
The unparalleled destructive power slammed into the circular platform in the center of the island from a distance. However, the small platform was not shattered by his Conqueror's Haki Coating, but the ground around the platform undulated like ocean waves and surged outwards towards the island's perimeter!
Like a giant boulder thrown into the center of a calm lake, in less than a minute, the entire surface of Raijin Island was as if it had been plowed over!
The ground, which had been hardened and solidified by years of lightning strikes, was now shattered into large and small stones, piled up like still, uneven waves. Anyone who didn't know better would think this island was a quarry!
Vic wasn't trying to prove how strong his Conqueror's Coating, but rather because this island held other secrets, such as the pitch-black circular platform and the buffer zone between the various colored lightning zones that could gather Primal Spirit!
Now, with a single punch, the pitch-black circular platform remained completely undamaged, not even a speck of dust was broken, which was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this platform. Its sturdiness was comparable to that of Supreme Great Grade Sword!
Given the round platform's jet-black color, Vic suspected it was forged using Armament Haki. How much free time and how utterly depraved must someone have to be to forge a stone into Supreme Great Grade Sword? What's the point?
Is it just to ensure that whenever the Divine Staff appears here, there's a foundation that can forever support it? That's too extravagant. Is there some unknown reason behind this?
After landing, Vic studied the stepped circular platform for a while, but didn't find anything interesting. Apart from being black, hard, and able to hold the Divine Staff, he found nothing else.
"Is it really Pure Gold? Did they have Pure Gold eight hundred years ago?"
That's it! Olga's father must have heard the legend of Pure Gold before he started researching Pure Gold. In other words, Pure Gold existed a very, very long time ago, and it might have been created by the ancient Law God of Laws of Gold!
Vic's sudden punch was because some areas on the island had the effect of gathering Primal Spirit, which was no different from the effect of Pure Gold. So Vic wanted to see what was buried underground on this island, and the black round platform was just a side effect of punching it!
Now, as Vic clears away the rubble in those areas, he discovers that what lies beneath is indeed Pure Gold, corresponding one by one to the buffer zones between the various colored lightning bolts. All of them are circular rings of Pure Gold laid underground, large rings within small rings!
If you looked down from above the island, you'd see that Raijin Island resembles a giant target, complete with a multi-tiered circular platform in the center and a small hole at the very center of that platform...?
Vic was speechless. What was he trying to do? What was he trying to express? Couldn't he speak in his native language? Ancient Script would be fine too.
Vic thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he took out all the Pure Gold buried under the rubble.
So much Pure Gold cannot be allowed to circulate, especially not to be discovered by the World Government!
After removing all the Pure Gold, Vic discovered that each of the large Pure Gold rings weighed the same, but the larger the ring, the thinner it was, and the smallest ring was also the thickest, with the best effect in gathering Primal Spirit!
With so much Pure Gold, he definitely couldn't fit it all in the Dimensional Ring on his hand. However, Vic now has multiple dimensions, so he could take ten times more!
"This pedestal is a good thing too; it could be used as a Heaven-Flipping Seal or a shield. It's a pity it's welded to the ground! My Armament Haki isn't strong enough, otherwise I could have forcibly separated it!"
Vic looked at the stepped circular platform in front of him with a sense of regret. He could see and touch it, but he couldn't take it with him, just like some special professions in his previous life!
With that, Vic decided to leave. He had done what he needed to do, and even gained an unexpected bonus, so the trip had been worthwhile!
"Huh? Why is Lodestar Island suddenly so lively? It seems a fight has broken out, and there are quite a few people involved!"
As soon as Vic opened the spatial gate to return to Lodestar Island, he sensed many unfamiliar auras, and these auras appeared extremely violent, which is what happens when auras fluctuate violently during battle. Vic also sensed several familiar auras among them!
When Vic stepped out of the portal, he found that Lodestar Island had completely changed. What was once a very harmonious island was now the site of many major battles!
Moreover, this wasn't just any ordinary battle; it involved powerful figures at least on par with the top-ranking officers of the Four Emperors. What was once a beautiful island has suffered immense destruction. Vic wondered what had happened; how could it have become like this in just a few days?
