"I'm not very talented; I'm just one step away from perfection!"
Now that the Law of Space have been exposed, there's nothing we can't say. The other party won't say anything anyway, so it doesn't matter how much or how little we say.
The Law of Space are indeed very difficult. If Vic hadn't been exposed to so many ideas and concepts about space in his previous life, he really wouldn't have been able to grasp them in just ten years!
That's how you comprehend the Laws; it requires inspiration or a flash of insight. If you don't have it, you'll be stuck there, for a year or a hundred years, until you break down!
It was precisely because of this concern that Imu did not dare to place his plan to comprehend the Law of Space within these 800 years.
The many ideas and concepts from Vic's previous life were the source of his endless flashes of inspiration, something that people in this world simply couldn't compare to!
Imu's piercing eyes gave Vic a deep look, then he once again stretched out his finger and began drawing in the air!
However, she no longer drew a pentagram, but a mysterious and complex one, like an inscription carved on a seal!
The inscription was entirely black, but the area around the patterns emitted a red glow, making it look somewhat eerie and unsettling. Even Vic sensed a dangerous aura about it!
"Go!"
After finishing the inscription, Imu casually waved his hand, and the inscription, as if it had eyes, quickly flew towards Vic, its target very clear!
Imu sensed the threat posed by Vic, and a very strong one at that, so he immediately used his ultimate ability!
If Vic wasn't lying, given more time to grow, his Law of Space would definitely break through to the perfect realm!
It's unimaginable how powerful a space-type Law God would be. Even though she has comprehended several perfect Power of Law, she doesn't dare say she can defeat him. Therefore, she is very wary and wants to eliminate this potential threat directly!
The inscription was initially extremely fast, arriving in front of Vic in the blink of an eye. However, after reaching Vic, it hovered there and stopped moving.
Seeing this, Imu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, while Vic's face was full of solemnity. Although Imu's attack stopped there, the contest between the two continued!
Imu's strength was naturally due to the unexpected power of the Law of Space, as was Vic's application of the Law of Space!
Her attack should have hit Vic long ago, but Vic had created countless spaces in front of him. The inscription had to pass through those spaces to get close to Vic, so her attack seemed to stop there.
The reason Vic was so solemn was that even though he had piled up countless spaces in an attempt to guide the inscription to other places or other people, he had not succeeded. The inscription only recognized him and was determined to imprint itself on him!
"It's no use! It won't disappear unless it's imprinted on you!"
Imu said calmly, seemingly wanting Vic to stop resisting and obediently imprint the rune. This move came from another of her Laws — the Laws of Contract!
The Five Elders and the God's Knights all possess this inscription, but they voluntarily signed the contract and had the inscription imprinted on them. For Imu's perfected contract ability, it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
But Vic is different; he can't sign a contract with Imu, so Imu has no choice but to resort to force!
This move has the effect of locking the enemy in the void, and it targets the soul. Even if Vic uses multiple spatial barriers to block it, it will be useless. In the end, it will be imprinted on his body and enter his soul, becoming Imu's servant!
Even though he didn't know the effect of the inscription, Vic didn't give up easily. Gunko doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!
Even if the inscription will eventually be imprinted on him, at least it isn't now. As long as he keeps piling up space in front of him, he can slow down the process!
Vic didn't sit idly by. He opened up a space again and sent the blade, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, into Imu's heart!
"Hateful!"
However, the result was not much different. Imu recovered quickly. The perfect Law of Immortality left Vic with no hope of killing Imu!
This Laws is too unfair. No wonder Imu chose the Laws with the strongest life-saving ability instead of studying the powerful Laws. He must have planned this all along!
After Imu drew that inscription, she stopped attacking Vic, as if waiting for the inscription to merge into Vic's soul.
On the contrary, Vic kept attacking her, using all sorts of methods and moves. Imu would dodge if she could, and if she couldn't dodge, she would just take the hits. In any case, the Law of Immortality made her invincible. She wanted to see just how many tricks Vic had up his sleeve!
"Hurry up and take them down!"
Imu wasn't truly doing nothing; she sent an internal message to everyone who had signed the contract, instructing them to resolve the trouble here as soon as possible.
There are even bigger troubles to deal with later. Their secrets have spread all over the world through the newspapers. Without a world-ending purge, they really can't continue to rule this world!
She even fabricated the details of this history: the third mass extinction caused by the apocalyptic flood, and how the Celestial Dragons, the creators, preserved humanity's lifeblood!
Upon receiving Imu's message, the Five Elders and the God's Knights, who had been distracted by the battle, dared not be distracted any longer. Suddenly, the pressure on Luffy and his crew increased dramatically once again!
Although Garp had previously killed several Imu, his good fortune didn't last long, and he was soon besieged!
There are only so many people, how can we let you kill them like that? Without revealing his God Realm strength, Garp can't possibly take down one kid with a single punch while surrounded by so many people!
"Haven't you come to terms with reality yet? Remove the spatial barrier, bear this mark, and become M's servant. M will grant you a long life!"
Your companions are already in grave danger, do you still want to persist? Do you want to watch them die one by one in front of you?
Whether Imu genuinely values Vic or simply wants to demoralize him, he actually wants to take him as a servant and threatens and undermines him by threatening Luffy and the others' safety. It's unclear whether Im thinks too highly of Vic or underestimates him!
Vic's Observation Haki is not just for show; even without Imu saying anything, he can naturally sense the danger Luffy and his crew are in!
However, he cannot personally intervene to save people now. Although his Law of Space can indeed save people remotely, Imu on the other side will not just stand by and watch!
She could easily place one of those Luffy on each of Luffy and his crew, and even his Law of Space wouldn't be able to stop them.
He himself was a powerful being at the God Realm, so he wasn't particularly afraid of the inscription. He mainly used spatial barriers to confuse Imu, but what could Luffy and his crew use to resist it?
They would all become Imu's servants, their lives hanging in the balance. Vic couldn't gamble with that. He was conflicted and hesitant. Should he go all out and join the old man in a final battle against Imu?
