Torchlight over the Nine Netherworlds, Severed Realm Subdues Spacetime, and Reinforcements from the Abyss
Outside the core control room, the deadly attack of three CP0 captains was imminent! The chilling aura of death was palpable.
Inside Pluton, the illusory light of the Emerald Mother Tree flickered anxiously, as if uttering its final lament.
At this critical moment—
A Chaos power, far older and deeper than the Power of Time, seemingly originating from the very beginning of the world, suddenly erupted from Allen's body!
"Buzz--!!!"
A mournful cry echoed through the space! Centered on Allen, an invisible yet terrifying force field suddenly spread outwards, distorting everything!
The attacks of the three CP0 captains, just inches from Allen, seemed to have struck an invisible wall that was infinitely thick and infinitely distant! They weren't blocked, but rather the "space" between them and Allen was conceptually stretched infinitely! Their movements became extremely slow, as if they were trapped in amber within time and space, their expressions of horror frozen, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Allen's eyes transformed into two condensed, vertical pupils burning with eerie purple flames! On his forehead, two twisted, phantom-like dragon horns, woven from darkness and light, pierced his skin! His aura became vast and majestic, like an ancient god who ruled over time and space!
Mythical Zoan - Torch Dragon Fruit ability - True Awakening!
• Innate Divine Power: Severed Realm!
Allen slowly raised his hand and gently swiped it across the Void in front of him!
A dark purple streak of light, seemingly tearing apart the dimensions of reality, appeared out of thin air and rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive spacetime rift that distorted light and perception, stretching between Pluton and the external battlefield!
This " Severed Realm " is incredibly terrifying:
Akainu's magma fist crashed in, its relative speed becoming almost static, and its destructive energy was rapidly consumed and annihilated in the spacetime distortion!
Kuzan's absolute chill spread, but lost its direction, and the freezing effect was delayed indefinitely, as if it had been banished to the end of time!
Kizaru's light-speed projectile entered, stripping him of his light-speed properties, making him as slow as a snail, and ultimately causing his energy to dissipate without a trace!
The government fleet's saturation firepower vanished as soon as it entered the Severed Realm, like a stone sinking into the sea, barely causing a ripple before disappearing completely!
Pluton, as if briefly "detached" from the current spacetime coordinates, is in a state of absolute "relative stillness"!
"What kind of power is this?!" Akainu stared in shock at the almost frozen lava, his attempt to the Severed Realm futile like a stone thrown into the sea! "A double isolation of time and space..." Kuzan's expression was extremely grave. "Yeah~ This is much more troublesome than time abilities~" Kizaru's eyes sharpened, his joking demeanor vanishing. The CP0 agents were forced to retreat; assassination techniques were useless against absolute spatial isolation.
Maintaining the " Severed Realm " was an immense burden for Allen; his body trembled violently, and the flames of the Torch Dragon flickered erratically, clearly unable to last. But this precious moment of respite was crucial!
"Quick! Repair the engine!" Sabo roared, leading his men in a frantic repair effort. Tesoro used gold to urgently replace the damaged structure.
Just as blood trickled from the corner of Allen's mouth, Severed Realm began to fluctuate and was about to collapse—
A sudden change has occurred!
It didn't come from the stars, but from the cosmic Abyss directly beneath Pluton! In that once empty, dark Void, space cracked inch by inch like a shattered mirror! A savage, chaotic, yet not malicious, terrifying aura surged forth from it!
A deafening roar, seemingly emanating from the ancient Xinghai, sent shivers down everyone's spines!
Immediately afterwards, several enormous tentacles covered in dark scales and wreathed in Chaos energy suddenly emerged from the spatial rift! These tentacles were not physical entities, but rather creations of some kind of energy and space. They ignored Allen's " Severed Realm " (or were partially compatible due to their shared origin) and swept directly towards the World Government's fleet!
Boom! A battleship, unable to dodge in time, was easily caught by a tentacle. Its armor, strong enough to withstand artillery fire, twisted and deformed like paper under the tentacle's entanglement, before being violently thrown towards another warship, causing a violent explosion!
Another tentacle slammed into the government fleet's formation, its terrifying power clearing out a large area!
Furthermore, tentacles, like long whips, lashed out at Kuzan, who was maintaining the ice wall, and Kizaru, who was releasing energy blasts, forcing them to dodge and defend!
" Children of the Abyss...?! How could they..." Sabo stared in shock at this sudden turn of events. According to records, these ancient creatures, who lived deep within spatial rifts, were usually absolutely neutral, even hostile, and rarely intervened in worldly conflicts.
"It's Pluton! It's the Heart of the Ark and Allen's Power of Zhulong!" Robin suddenly realized and exclaimed, " The Echo of civilization carried by Pluton and the aura of Torch Dragon opening up space and time, may have attracted them, or... been regarded as one of their own? Or even... their leader?"
As if confirming Robin's words, a colossal, star-like Chaos eye vaguely emerged from the enormous spatial rift, indifferently sweeping across the battlefield before seemingly lingering on Pluton and Allen for a moment. Then, more abyssal Abyss and bizarre creatures, seemingly composed of dark matter, surged out of the rift, indiscriminately attacking the World Government's fleet and powerful figures! Their behavior was chaotic and primal, yet effectively disrupted the World Government's formation!
These uninvited guests from the Abyss, though their purpose is unclear and their behavior unpredictable, appeared precisely at the most dangerous moment for the Allied Forces, delivering a fatal blow to the World Government!
Akainu's face turned incredibly grim. Not only did he have to deal with the enemy before him, but he also had to contend with these chaotic and terrifying Abyss creatures! Kuzan and Kizaru were also forced into a tug-of-war with the Abyss creations! The government fleet's formation was completely thrown into chaos!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Allen slightly withdrew some of his power, shrinking the area of the Severed Realm but making it more stable, firmly protecting the Pluton Core. He panted, looking out the window at the chaotic battlefield and the terrifying reinforcements, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
The battle has become unpredictable once again due to the unexpected intrusion of these "reinforcements" from the Abyss space! The World Government's absolute advantage has been shattered once more!
