Loki's body swelled to almost twice its original size, making it seem as if he could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky. A pair of bat wings emerged from Loki's shoulder blades, spreading out to Shrouding the Heavens!
An arrow's tail pierced through the coccyx, winding like a giant python, exceptionally ferocious. With a gentle swing, it cleaved a mountain peak in two, its oppressive aura reaching the heavens!
"Roar!"
Loki roared, turned around and swung his hammer straight at Vic, creating a howling gust of wind!
Just as the giant hammer was about to strike Vic, Iron Thunder transformed into a giant squirrel, leaping away from Loki's grasp and dodging Vic's attack!
It turned around and bared its teeth at the already corrupted Loki. It had its own thoughts, and how could it allow the corrupted Loki to continue to control it and kill its own allies!
"Forehead!"
Just as Vic was about to open a spatial portal to dodge the hammer blow, the giant hammer unexpectedly transformed into a squirrel, leaving even him stunned!
Things had taken an unexpected turn for the worse. Allies had become enemies, and he couldn't bring himself to kill them. The allies' weapons could even turn into squirrels, and they possessed a strong sense of right and wrong. The situation was both perplexing and intriguing, leaving Vic completely at a loss for words!
"Could it be related to Devil Fruit?"
Without his hammer, Vic didn't use his teleportation ability and easily dodged Loki's subsequent attack, but he was extremely curious about the giant squirrel!
Even if a weapon eats Devil Fruit, it still doesn't have its own thoughts, something even Vegapunk couldn't do. But there aren't any particularly strange creatures in this world. If there were, they would definitely be related to Devil Fruit!
"Ah! Lord Loki has lost his mind and turned into a demon!"
"Still can't withstand a single move? Now we've even become enemies!"
How on earth do we defeat this kind of enemy?!
"It's nothing short of a miracle that Lord Vic has managed to hold out this long against such an enemy!"
"They can't even beat one of them, and now there's the super-strong Loki added to the mix. Who else can take their place? The Straw Hat Boy Pirate King? The Marine Garp the Hero? The Revolutionary Army leader Dragon? Or the Ace the Flame King?"
During the great battle between Vic and Imu, the demons summoned by Imu were quickly annihilated because they were not immortal!
Then all eyes were focused on the two in the center, because that was the key battle of the war!
Later, Loki joined the battle, which made everyone think that their chances of winning had increased considerably. However, before they could even rejoice, Loki became the enemy, making the situation even more dire!
Iron Thunder transformed into a squirrel and fled the battlefield, which enraged Loki after his Black Turn, but he did not stop his attack on Vic!
Even without weapons, he still possesses a body that is as powerful as a weapon. After missing his first strike, he immediately stepped forward and threw a punch. The air exploded, and a white shockwave spread outward from the center of his fist, seemingly possessing the power to shatter the heavens and the earth!
Imu's Black Turn Domination doesn't directly turn people into obedient slaves. They still have their own thoughts, memories, and combat experience; it's just that certain negative emotions in their consciousness are amplified infinitely!
In addition, Imu has the ability to Assimilation other people's thoughts, and most importantly, he has the absolute power of command with veto power!
When she doesn't interfere much, those who are Black Turn will act in accordance with her ideas. When they fail to achieve their goals, they will feel frustrated and reflect on their actions. Some of them will even become extremely angry!
Vic dodged Loki's earth-shattering punch with a quick movement; the massive fist swept past him!
Only when Loki's punch landed on his head and stopped did Vic swing his knife and slash Loki's arm, causing a bloody gash that gushed out like a crimson fountain!
Before Loki could launch another attack, Vic had already dodged out of his attack range.
"What a pity!"
Imu's words drifted into Vic's ears. Vic's attack just now wasn't a real strike, because he wasn't sure if Loki, after his Black Turn, would also be immortal!
Judging from Imu's previous performance, the ability to be immortal is entirely up to Imu, so Vic didn't gamble that Loki could grow his arm back. Now, hearing Imu's slightly regretful words, he is certain that Loki is not immortal, and holding back earlier was the right thing to do!
"Are they trying to make us kill each other? How vicious!"
Vic looked at the still-present wound on Loki's arm and said coldly, "Although I didn't kill Loki, the wound is still quite large!"
Of course, that's for ordinary people; for a giant like Loki, it's just a small wound!
However, while Loki's regenerative abilities are impressive, they don't allow him to completely heal wounds in a short time. Even Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon can't achieve such abnormal regenerative power; otherwise, what's the difference between him and immortality?
"Is this vicious? You want to kill me!"
Imu didn't care. She did want to see Vic and Loki fight each other, which was why she didn't get involved when Loki attacked Vic earlier; otherwise, the battle would have been a siege!
In Imu's opinion, Vic's strength should be about the same as Loki's, except that Vic's abilities are more troublesome, but Loki's base stats are stronger. The two can still put up a fight, and she can watch a monkey show!
But I didn't expect Vic to see through it so quickly, and that's not going to be fun!
"Your death will allow more people to live a good life; your death is meaningful!"
Imu is just being unreasonable, finally showing some of her feminine traits. However, the grievances between the two sides cannot be explained in a few words; it's a matter of their positions!
Vic couldn't persuade Imu, and Imu knew he couldn't persuade Vic either; killing the other was the more practical solution!
So Imu stopped watching and chose to attack. And at that moment, Vic was right in the middle of Imu and Loki, the two giants!
As if they were of one mind, the two of them swung their fists at him, ready to smash him to pieces between their fists!
After sheathing his sword, Vic, like Whitebeard, crossed his arms and slammed them heavily into the void on either side.
There was no spatial shattering like a spider web, but the punches that Imu and Loki threw afterward seemed to hit an invisible barrier!
"Boom"
A deafening roar followed, the shockwaves from the collision reverberating throughout the entire island. Only then did a spiderweb-like spatial rift appear on Vic's fist!
"Snap! Snap!"
Like the sound of shattering glass, the spiderweb-like cracks continued to spread outwards, and the center was also caved in towards Vic, as if a spiderweb had collided with a flying insect or bird and was struggling violently.
