His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion, maintaining its usual aloof and godlike demeanor.
Seeing this, Daps and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling what had just happened, they were still shaken.
In their eyes, no matter how strong Bai Yu was, it would still take him a lot of effort to deal with their overwhelming numbers.
If we can use this overwhelming force to keep Bai Yu busy and expose a fatal flaw, then...
They would never let such a good opportunity slip by; they would join forces to deliver the fatal blow.
Unfortunately, to their utter surprise, Bai Yu was hiding his true intentions so well.
The power of that single move was terrifying.
Not only were all the ferocious beasts and Sea Kings instantly wiped out, but they themselves also felt the encroachment of the shadow of death.
If Imu hadn't intervened in time, they would likely have faced certain death in that split second.
As the Five Elders, if all five of them were instantly killed...
Who will resurrect them in the future?
As the one who rules this world from behind the scenes, and Imu they regard as their former king, Im probably doesn't have the leisure for such things!
Recalling everything that had just happened, they couldn't help but feel as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.
However, what surprised them even more was that Imu didn't pursue the matter at all after this defeat.
This undoubtedly relieved the Taiseki that had been hanging over their hearts.
"Lord Imu... what should we do next?" Daps took a deep breath and stepped forward to ask, forcing himself to speak.
He knew perfectly well that this stalemate needed to be broken.
Otherwise, if the silence continues for too long, they might just incur Imu's wrath!
The Nusjuro and the others all revealed a hint of eagerness.
Bai Yu's final, weakened state left even them feeling uncertain.
Choosing to go back and kill him, yet worried it might be a trap.
If you just watch Bai Yu leave.
They were unwilling to give up.
What if Bai Yu really is injured in a rare condition?
For them, this meant watching the fat slip right out of their mouths!
If possible, they would allow Imu to intervene, provided he agrees.
They said they might be willing to risk their lives to go there themselves.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to go and die again?" Imu asked coldly after glancing at them.
"Aren't you worried that you'll be used as bait by that ant, forcing me to save you again?"
"If it really comes to that, you're overthinking it."
"However, you can rest assured, your performance this time has indeed disappointed me."
"However, I have achieved my goal. In just a few more months, I will be able to integrate the power of the entire world and fully awaken my Rinnegan."
"When the time comes, I will make that ant understand what despair is."
"Since he's doomed either way, why should we rush into action?"
"Remember, there's only one thing you need to do now: gain control of the Rinnegan as quickly as possible. I don't want you to repeat the situation from last time, otherwise..."
The cold snort immediately sent a chill down the spine of the dignified Five Elders, who hurriedly spoke up.
"Lord Imu, please rest assured, we will definitely master the Rinnegan and will never betray the kindness of the power you bestowed upon Imu."
"Next time I make a move, I'll definitely twist that ant's head off."
"Hmm!" Imu replied casually, his gaze quickly sweeping over the five people who were looking down before dissipating into countless specks of light between heaven and earth.
After about half a minute, Daps and the others finally came to their senses, took a deep breath, and showed expressions of relief.
Subconsciously glancing at the projection not far away, I saw Bai Yu being helped away by Ace, who even made an international gesture at the end.
This undoubtedly caused Daps and the others to involuntarily twitch their cheek muscles.
Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.
After saying this, Daps turned to leave, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Nusjuro with a hesitant expression.
Daps frowned.
" Nusjuro, what's wrong? Just say it."
"However, Lord Imu has already spoken, so you'd better not try to take advantage of any loopholes, otherwise it wouldn't be good if that brat found a way in."
The three people beside Sals silently echoed his sentiment.
Now that Imu has a foolproof plan, whether they try to take advantage of any loopholes or whether Bai Yu intends to get something for nothing is no longer important.
Feeling the gazes around him, the Nusjuro's expression changed several times before he stammered out a sentence.
"No, I had no intention of disobeying Lord Imu's orders. However, just now, when I faced Lord Imu's gaze, I had a strange feeling, as if..."
As the Nusjuro uttered his last words, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
Daps immediately covered the Nusjuro's mouth.
At the same time, I was slapped across the face.
The force of the slap was so great that the crisp sound of the slap echoed in the empty hall for a long time.
Seeing Imu's face, half of which was swollen and red, those present still felt a sense of unease and disbelief.
The only thing that brought them relief was that Lord Imu did not appear; otherwise, they would probably have faced certain death!
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters.
The massive city wall was bustling with noise and excitement, and the conversations were filled with undisguised joy.
Meanwhile, the calls for drinks were incessant.
Even Whitebeard, Garp, and the others were gulping down large amounts of alcohol.
However, all of this was clearly just a facade. If you looked closely, you would definitely find that Whitebeard, Sengoku, and the others still had tense muscles all over their bodies that had not relaxed.
Beneath the surface of laughter and cheerful conversation, there was clearly a preparation that was about to begin.
To them, the move Bai Yu just used was indeed astonishing.
However, they knew perfectly well that Bai Yu wasn't lying; he was completely drained.
Once Imu truly sees the flaw, he will seize the opportunity to strike.
According to Bai Yu, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to kill him.
Therefore, these minor, insignificant characters who were not involved in the previous battles will become the last line of defense.
"Alright, you all don't need to waste any more drinks!" Bai Yu rolled his eyes at the group of people who were drinking like they were chewing wax, but their hearts were aching.
More than whether Imu would intervene, Bai Yu was heartbroken over the loss of the wine.
However, thinking of Imu, who had been waiting for more than ten minutes without making a move, Bai Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, through the first stage of Fairy Tail's Nightmare Dungeon, we did indeed obtain the trump Fairy Melody Lied.
However, Bai Yu also lacked confidence in the face of Imu's unknown Rinnegan abilities.
