Imu naturally saw through Vic's terrifying regenerative ability. Relying on these figures and mythical beasts that had long been buried in the dust of history was ultimately futile, just like the powerful beings she summoned from the "emptiness"—nothing more than Illusion.
"From what I see, most of the Laws you've comprehended are for auxiliary purposes; it seems there aren't many that can be truly used in direct combat."
Vic's gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing straight at Imu.
"If that's the case, you'll probably never be qualified to rule this world again!"
Vic has not yet used the full power of the Law of Lightning in battle, but the methods Imu has used do not seem to be for direct combat. Apart from the Contract Inscription that almost controlled him before, Vic has not really felt Imu's powerful destructive force!
This gave him the illusion that even without the support of Power of Law, he might be able to fight Imu for five hundred rounds!
But reason pierced through the illusion like an icicle: Imu was not so simple. How could someone who could defeat Joy Boy and rule the world for eight hundred years not have a trump card for direct combat?
The fact that she hasn't used the Laws of direct combat doesn't mean she doesn't have them. Perhaps she just doesn't like direct combat, or perhaps she simply disdains such primal conflict. After all, Imu is a woman, a woman who looks down upon all living beings like a god!
Just as a god in the clouds would never stoop down to wrestle with ants, even though she wore a noble cloak with gilded patterns and her stunningly beautiful face shone with a cold jade-like luster in the void, her arrogance that looked down upon all living beings was not concealed in the slightest.
"M had fought Joy Boy thousands of times under the blood-red sky, until he completely crushed the so-called 'Liberator'."
But before that, Mum and Joy Boy had grown stronger through countless battles, until they finally defeated him completely!
Imu lightly flicked his cloak, and the star-like specks of light adorning the tassels fell in a soft rustling sound.
"Now that you rule the world, you naturally no longer need to shed blood. Instead, you need some auxiliary Laws to govern this world. But if you can force Mu to take this seriously, I might as well let you see what the wrath of the gods is like."
Imu's tone was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority, as if he were bestowing a trivial favor.
The meaning is clear: she is now a respectable person, and in a superior position, and doesn't really like direct conflict!
However, this doesn't mean she's truly incapable of direct combat; she just previously felt it wasn't necessary. If Vic really forces her into a direct fight, she won't be afraid at all—it all comes down to your ability!
Vic scoffed, and the spatial ripples around his fingertips grew even more intense—his Law of Space had reached the threshold of perfection, and wherever his fingertips passed, the void rippled slightly.
Your logic is rather peculiar.
Vic's voice was accompanied by the crackling of lightning.
"To be honest, your immortality is very difficult to break, and I'm not confident I can kill you. But if you can't demonstrate the strength to defeat me, you'll never have peace again."
Once my Law of Space are perfected, the situation will be reversed, and your immortality will no longer be an insurmountable barrier. Now, you're the one who should be making a move."
Imu is aloof and expects Vic to force her to reveal her methods, but Vic thinks this logic is flawed!
Since Imu's immortality is indeed somewhat insurmountable, how could he possibly force Imu to engage in a direct confrontation?
On the contrary, his Law of Space are about to be perfected. If Imu doesn't eliminate him now, he will become a major threat to Imu in the future!
Therefore, it is Imu who must kill him, not the other way Imu.
Vic wouldn't tolerate Imu's arrogant attitude, even if she had a stunningly beautiful face!
"Your family and friends are all here. Are you willing to abandon them and flee for your life alone?"
Imu's red lips curved into a cold smile, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"If you can be ruthless and heartless, then I might as well share this world with you."
After witnessing Vic's Law of Space, Imu was indeed somewhat worried that he would rely on Law of Space to escape alone and would challenge her again after perfecting his Law of Space.
However, after she had used those magical beasts to threaten him a little, she discovered that Vic was a loyal and righteous person, but loyalty and righteousness were not good qualities for Imu!
To her, this was actually the easiest weakness to exploit in Vic. As long as she could grasp this point, Vic wouldn't easily leave and would instead go into hiding. Therefore, she still didn't take Vic seriously!
You've definitely found my weakness.
Vic shrugged, but his Conqueror's Haki was quietly surging around him, like a dormant volcano about to erupt.
"But if we delay any longer, only your Five Elders and God's Knights will die. Do you really want to watch your henchmen be eliminated one by one?"
He had already seen through Imu's thoughts: the other party was wary of him using the Law of Space to escape, and planned to make a comeback later.
What Imu didn't know was that Vic's spatial portal could already pinpoint the location of all his closest relatives!
If she dared to show any murderous intent towards Rebecca and the others, he could instantly teleport everyone to an absolutely safe alternate dimension—he would never reveal this trump card to the enemy beforehand.
"To Yu Mu, the number of ants is irrelevant."
Imu's tone remained indifferent, as if the lives and deaths of the Five Elders and the God's Knights were nothing more than crushing a few ants.
"Those who haven't God Realm are ultimately just dust. Though you are stronger than ordinary people, you are nothing more than a stubborn rock."
Imu understood what Vic meant: if things continued, all of her Five Elders and God's Knights would be killed, so it was better for the two of them to have a decisive battle!
However, Imu didn't care about the lives of the Five Elders and the God's Knights, and she wasn't even very interested in the battle with Vic!
"Hehe."
Vic let out a cold laugh, knowing that saying more would be useless, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Since the other party already considered him to be someone they could manipulate at will, they weren't in a hurry to kill him, which left Vic speechless. He could only shatter this illusion with his fists.
Flaws are always hidden in the flashing swords and shadows. He wanted to see if this so-called "immortal god" was truly invincible!
"Take this!"
Before he finished speaking, Vic tapped the air with his toe, and a scorched afterimage with lightning marks froze in place, while his real body transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Imu's face.
His speed was already comparable to that of this God Realm expert, and with the addition of the Speed Domain, he moved so fast it was as if he were teleporting, leaving only a distorted sonic boom trail in the air.
The foot, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and carrying the force of a thunderbolt, swept out, aiming directly at Imu's exquisite face—"You were disdainful, weren't you? You weren't interested? Today I'll let you taste what it's like to be slapped in the face by an ant!"
Weren't you supposed to be expressionless? Let's see if you can keep it up after I kick your head off!
As God Realm powerhouse who has perfected multiple Laws, Imu's speed is not slow. Even pure physical powerhouses like Red-Hair and Garp, who can unleash extreme speed, are no match for Imu!
Even with such speed, Imu couldn't dodge Vic's kick; she even had the illusion that there was no way to avoid it.
Vic's speed was already comparable to Imu's, and with the added Speed Domain boost, he was truly Inazuma fast. Imu didn't even have time to react before his head was struck hard in the face by that foot, which was carrying an aura of destruction!
