" Kaido! You're going to kill me! My poor children!"
The Big Mom was somewhat exasperated. If she were all alone, what would it matter if she sacrificed herself to accompany Kaido in a great battle? Dying in glory and splendor was far more exciting than dying of illness or old age in bed!
Although a mother's love may be diluted with more children, it is not absent; she cannot truly be indifferent to her children.
This time, she's offended a behemoth like the World Government and a monster beyond comprehension like Imu. Do her children even have a chance of survival?
"BigMom! You're thinking too simply. Do you know why this Void Century of history is blank? It's because everyone who knew the truth was silenced. The population at that time was almost entirely wiped out!"
How similar our current situation is to that of 800 years ago!
So don't be naive. From the moment you arrived here, your lives were no longer in your own hands. Now, only by working together and completely wiping out these invaders can you have a glimmer of hope!
Seeing that Big Mom still couldn't grasp the situation, Vic responded loudly, not only to dispel Big Mom's resentment towards Kaido, but also to awaken those who still harbored wishful thinking and hesitated.
Although those people no longer have much impact on the battle, Vic doesn't want to see someone betray him or his comrades to curry favor with the World Government while he's fighting desperately. He doesn't want to experience these upsetting things, nor does he want to disappoint everyone!
" Thunder God is right, we have no way out but to fight to the death!"
Akainu was the first to recover from his shock. Upon hearing Vic's analysis, he immediately echoed loudly, saying that the Navy had the most members who were still calm, and since it had previously been an organization under the World Government, he feared that Imu's appearance would cause unrest and lead to another division within the Navy!
Before Vic even spoke, many people were already having second thoughts. Imu's presence was simply too overwhelming, and he had brought so many powerful reinforcements with him. How could they possibly fight like this?
There was absolutely no hope of victory; all that remained was despair. However, Vic's words did awaken many people. They could no longer simply retreat as they pleased. Perhaps those who retreated now would be the first to be targeted and the ones who would die the fastest!
After the black flames dissipated, Imu made no further moves, nor did he stop Vic and Akainu from saying anything detrimental to their side. He was either indifferent or waiting!
She was waiting for the mysterious powerhouse who had blocked her way in Mary Geoise ten years ago, one of only two God Realm powerhouses on this planet, just like her. She only had opponents of the same level in her eyes; others were simply not worth her attention!
After Vic broke through to the God Realm on the Mystery Island where the Soul Tree grew, he briefly showed off his God Realm abilities!
That brief glimpse allowed Imu to sense a trace of the unique Laws fluctuations of the God Realm. From that moment on, Imu suspected that someone might have broken through to the God Domain, though he was still unsure!
Because not all Laws exhibit powerful Laws when breaking through to the God Domain; some special Laws do not.
In particular, the Laws of perception can shield the fluctuations of the Laws during a breakthrough, so that even other God Realm experts cannot sense them!
Therefore, at that time, Imu only suspected it and was not very sure that someone had broken through to the God Domain!
But when the mysterious man in black robes appeared in Mary Geoise, she truly realized that she was no longer the only God Realm powerhouse on this planet!
From that moment on, this person became her only rival, and in this world-ending war, this person was the only one she feared!
"Why didn't the guy who saved you last time come? Was he scared?"
Imu's demonic eyes swept over Vic, his face expressionless yet radiating a chilling coldness that seemed to freeze everything!
Her voice, still reverberant, was neither clearly male nor female. Though not loud, it was like celestial music, clearly penetrating everyone's minds and causing their souls to tremble!
"He wasn't afraid of you last time, so why would he be afraid of you now? He just has more important things to do. Maybe he's already here, but neither of us can find him!"
Vic knew that Imu was referring to him, and he retorted sharply, his tone confident and high-spirited. This wasn't just a response to Imu, but also a message to the others!
Imu is very strong, but our side also has strong individuals of the same level!
He had originally intended to release his aura to give people confidence, but Imu's question would just happen to bring out the mysterious man in black robes.
With Imu's words preceding it, any response he makes will suggest that Imu has a formidable opponent!
He could conceal his strength first, and perhaps catch Imu off guard later.
Moreover, Vic suspected that the newspapers from before were planted by that powerful figure, and only such a powerful figure could have kept him from noticing them!
After that mysterious person finished distributing the newspapers, they probably went to deliver newspapers to other places, and then returned here after the newspapers had been distributed all over the world!
Vic didn't know if the newspaper had been delivered yet, but he could still bluff Imu; it would be to their advantage anyway!
"You must be the closest thing to a god in this era. The last ones were Roger and Rocks, but they didn't even make a Flower Capital. Do you think you can?"
Imu assumed that Vic was unaware of the God Domain, and thought that Vic was just a fearless newborn calf unaware of the gap between them, so he compared Vic to the two strongest people closest to this era.
The era of Rocks and Roger is indeed quite far from now, but their legends still circulate on the high seas, especially Roger, the first man to reach Laugh Tale and receive the title of Pirate King!
Imu wanted to show Vic that even figures like Roger and Rocks couldn't cause any trouble, so what made a newly risen kid like him think he could?
" Imu! You don't actually think that only you and that man in black are gods in this world, do you? Do you really think that sealing off all news from the God Domain will be enough?"
Since Joy Boy has left himself a backup plan, you don't actually think he's hiding even these things, do you?
A god's only enemy is another god— Joy Boy knew this, Imu! Do you think Joy Boy left behind a method to break through to the God Domain without being detected by other Law God?
"Gods have such long lifespans, do you think there are many powerful beings from the God Domain lurking in this world right now?"
Vic called out Imu's name for the first time, revealing Imu's purpose in concealing the existence of the God Domain. You said I was overconfident? Now, who are you calling overconfident?
Imu wanted to take down Vic, but Vic retaliated by making Imu suspicious and trying to act superior and bossy towards him Imu. Imu picked the wrong target!
"Attack! Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Whether Imu was too lazy to waste words with Vic, or Vic's words genuinely made her suspicious and threatened, Imu didn't reply to Vic. Instead, she directly ordered an attack, intending to kill everyone present!
Vic guessed it was the second reason, because Imu was clearly in a hurry, issuing orders so quickly, which meant he must have doubted his words and wanted to cause some casualties to force out anyone who might be hiding in the shadows!
