Perona's ghost turned towards her.
What are you doing here?
Kalifa spoke calmly.
"From today onwards, I will be in charge of all affairs related to the Divine Palace and Sky Island."
Perona flew around her once.
You weren't like this yesterday.
What did your master do to you?
"It's none of your business."
When Kalifa looked at Uchiha Xin, her voice immediately softened.
I have come to understand my place.
"It is my honor to be able to handle matters on behalf of my master."
Perona paused in mid-air for a few moments.
She could sense that Kalifa was still the same Kalifa.
His tone, gestures, and habits remained unchanged.
But when she looked at Uchiha Xin, her loyalty was impossible to hide.
Perona did not press the matter further.
What about Hawk Eyes?
The news has spread.
"Many people are paying attention to that island now."
"They all want to know if Hawk Eyes can reclaim Black Blade Yoru."
Uchiha Xin became interested.
After defeating Hawk Eyes last time, the opponent voluntarily handed over the Black Blade Yoru.
The fact that Hawk Eyes has launched a new challenge suggests that his swordsmanship has likely improved.
I'll go there.
Kalifa said:
"Master, Hawk Eyes is not worth your personal intervention."
"Although I am not a swordsman, I can still test my master's strength on his behalf."
"Unnecessary."
Uchiha Xin stood up.
"This time it's not just about defeating him."
Kalifa asked:
"Does the master have other plans?"
" Hawk Eyes's swordsmanship still has value."
Uchiha Xin said:
"I intend to recruit the World's Greatest Swordsman to my side."
Perona's ghost flickered.
Will Hawk Eyes agree?
"He has no choice."
Uchiha Xin looked at Kalifa.
"After I leave, Sky Island is yours."
" The Divine Palace, the legions, the resources, and the island's transformation are all under your control."
"Anyone who disobeys can be suppressed on the spot."
Kalifa knelt down on one knee.
"Please rest assured, Master."
I will protect Sky Island.
"We will not allow anyone to interfere with the master's plans."
Uchiha Xin nodded.
The purple-gold patterns in the Eye of God lit up.
The space around him rippled.
The next moment, his figure vanished from the platform.
Kalifa looked up at the empty seat.
"Traveling thousands of miles in an instant."
"This is true god-level power."
She got up, picked up all the documents, and went to the Divine Palace's office where she handled official business.
The table was piled high with records awaiting review.
Kalifa wasted no time.
She first retrieved the Skypieans, and then had the guards deliver supplies and engineering records.
Orders were quickly issued from the Divine Palace.
On the island's edge, many Sky Island residents continue to repair the cloud roads and buildings.
The people responsible for transporting supplies were divided into different teams to deliver timber, stone, and food to various locations.
In the Divine Palace square, hundreds of warriors who had completed their physical enhancements were still training.
A fist struck the stone slab.
Geppo echoed through the air.
The Tempest Kick swept across the training ground.
Everyone is striving to pass the test left by Tashigi and join the God's Team she founded.
Hundreds of Sky Island warriors stood in neat rows in the Divine Palace Square.
They have all completed their physical enhancement.
Even the weakest of them possesses the physical foundation of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
After Tashigi's training over the past few days, the first batch of warriors have mastered the basics of the Six Powers.
A few of them even managed to touch the threshold of Haki presence.
But that's not enough.
Uchiha Xin stood at the front of the group.
Kalifa took the roster and checked each person present one by one.
Gan Fall stood at the edge of the plaza with several Sky Island officials.
A large number of Sky Island residents were also gathered around.
All eyes were on Uchiha Xin.
Kalifa closed the register.
"Owner."
"The first batch of enhanced soldiers have all arrived."
"A total of 362 people."
Uchiha Xin nodded.
His Eye of God then opened.
Purple-gold patterns emerged from the depths of his pupils.
The space above the square began to shake.
All 362 soldiers raised their heads at the same time.
The next moment, a massive amount of Chakra surged from Uchiha Xin's body.
The power did not directly enter the people's bodies, but instead split into hundreds of parts high in the sky.
Every bit of Chakra is being compressed.
To unite.
Ultimately, it transformed into a fist-sized mass of Tailed Beast power.
roar!
A deep roar emanated from the depths of power.
The soldier at the very front froze.
Before that force even landed, he felt a sense of oppression.
It was as if a ferocious beast had stopped in front of us.
Many soldiers' breathing became erratic.
"What kind of power is this?"
"So strong!"
"My legs started shaking even before it entered my body!"
Gan Fall gripped his rifle tightly.
He had seen Enel use lightning before.
Enel at that time would execute any rebels without hesitation.
A single bolt of lightning can destroy a large area of buildings.
The inhabitants of the Sky Island therefore feared him.
Enel, aside from using lightning to intimidate, never granted anyone power.
No matter if it's a priest.
Ordinary soldiers are fine too.
In Enel's eyes, they were all just tools that could be discarded at any time.
Uchiha Xin is different.
He first strengthened the physique of these warriors.
He then had Tashigi teach him the Six Powers and Haki.
Now, they are preparing to bestow this terrifying power upon every warrior.
Gan Fall finally couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Kami."
"Should all these powers be given to them?"
"It is not a gift."
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
"It's just sealed inside their bodies."
"When battle is needed, they can break the seal and draw upon its power."
Gan Fall looked at the hundreds of clusters of Chakra in the sky.
"Everyone has it?"
"Good."
Uchiha Xin's palm fell.
Hundreds of Tailed Beast powers fell simultaneously.
The first burst of energy entered the chest of the front-line soldier.
His clothes were not damaged.
Black sealing lines immediately appeared on the skin's surface.
boom!
Chakra exploded from beneath his feet.
Several cracks immediately appeared in the ground.
The soldier's eyes widened.
A power far exceeding his usual strength surged through his body.
Muscles, bones, and internal organs are all generating heat.
A layer of Chakra Cloak quickly covered his body.
"My power..."
He raised his hand.
Simply clenching a fist produces a soft crackling sound in the air.
The soldiers standing nearby felt a chill run down their spines.
They trained together.
They naturally knew exactly how much power the other party originally possessed.
However, immediately after the power of the Tailed Beast entered his body, the opponent's aura increased at least several times.
"Is this the power bestowed by the gods?"
"Just one seal can make someone this much stronger?"
"It's not just one person!"
"Everyone has it!"
More Tailed Beast power rained down.
Tenth place.
100th.
The Chakra fluctuations in the plaza grew stronger and stronger.
Sealing patterns appeared on the warriors' bodies.
Red, blue, and purple Chakra Cloak appeared one after another.
The aura of everyone present also rose.
The once smooth square began to shake.
The ground could not withstand the force of hundreds of soldiers simultaneously unleashing their power, and cracks rapidly spread outwards.
