Chapter five hundred and ninety-five, blank, blank!
but!
Cursed Magic·Heart-Crushing Bone...
As the curse breaks out, Lovett realizes something is wrong.
He decisively followed his inner feeling and deflected the Hunting God's Cross Gun released by Dual-Mind by one centimeter to the left.
The result is.
boom!!
Im was blown to pieces again.
Then!
Cursed Magic·Heart-Crushing Bone...
Lovett: "..."
boom!!
Once again offset by an additional centimeter, the bone spear burst out, and the rolled up air waves tore apart the ruins and disappeared into the distance.
"Tch, no wonder, it turns out."
Withdrawing his hand, Lovett quietly looked into the distance.
Im breathed slightly, and when he saw him looking over, the corners of his mouth turned up.
Sure enough... the soul net above the Holy Land was destroyed by Im, so his spells must be emitted from himself, as well as the perception of spiritual power.
Im expected that his lock would not be as terrifying as the one covered by the soul net, so he chose to dodge.
As a result, it was avoided.
No wonder...
"No wonder you didn't avoid Kaido's fist. During the time we were chasing you, you had already adjusted the time fruit to go back in time. There is no time acceleration to help. Kaido's explosive power must be dealt with carefully for you."
"what is this?"
"Careful about capsizing in the gutter?"
Bang, bang!
At this time, Kaido, who had been brought into the pit, rushed out, looked at the two people who were deadlocked in place, and was stunned.
"what's the situation?"
A second or two has passed, and the Black Earl hasn't made a move yet?
However, he quickly noticed the ravine behind him and remained silent for a while.
"Hey, could it be..."
"Hmm, it's the 'could it be said' you were thinking."
Lovett nodded and pressed his cane with both hands.
"We were a step late, and he has already activated the most troublesome ability."
"Then I'll spank you!"
Kaido glared: "I caught up just because his time acceleration wasn't so abnormal. There was no such thing in the plan."
If Kaido still had illusions before, thinking that he could find traces of the future being reversed, then this expectation is gone now.
After listening to Lovett's explanation, Kaido immediately concluded that Im's choice to use time acceleration to deal with them was a bad move.
That ability is indeed difficult to deal with, but it is also the best to use. It speeds up your own time and makes everything easier.
However, it also happens to expose Im's most vulnerable body. As long as he can hit him, he can cause harm to him.
Then you told me that he changed it?
Have you become a loser?
"Don't worry, don't forget that we have figured out this ability and even know what its weaknesses are."
"The weakness is two years...well, no, more than a year later, the five people in the prophecy will return!"
Kaido was angry.
But in response, Lovett turned back: "Who told you that you have to wait passively for them to come back?"
"What?"
At this time, Lovett smiled and said: "Isn't that right, Im?"
"Indeed, you have that ability."
Regarding this, Im finally said: "Although I don't understand the principle of your power, since you have the ability to distort space, it is not a problem to distort time. Even if the effect is not as significant as the former, it is just a soap bubble.
It will break if you rub it."
This was a situation that was extremely unfavorable to him, but there was no fear on Im's face.
Instead, he looked at Lovett expectantly: "Why don't you give it a try and see if you can let them out in advance."
The answer, of course, is yes.
But the consequences won't be that simple.
Lovett's eyes were serious.
Wrapped in the power of time, the five Momonosukes are in a "pause" state. If they want to reverse it, they can only start "playing".
This is a very simple truth, and it is also the only way to restrain Im from changing the future.
"I see, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye?"
Lovett wanted to understand the key issues.
"The relationship between your time ability and Mrs. Shi's time ability is deeper than I thought. Although Mrs. Shi is dead and has sealed her children, we can understand it from another perspective. We are also in the timeline where she 'paused'.
"
Looking at it from the perspective of the sea, time continues without interruption.
But looking at it from the perspective of the time fruit's ability, time has been suspended at the moment when Mrs. Shi died.
Im's ability and Mrs. Shi's ability conflict with each other on a timeline. Only when one of them disappears can the other completely control time.
That's why the original work lasted until two years... no, one year later, the year when time started to flow.
but……
If the [pause] time is [played] now, while Momonosuke and others are being released, it will conflict with Im's power of time.
The conflict of fruit abilities represents the conflict of laws!
This is something only the power of time can do...
I killed myself!
And the conflict of laws is a conflict of laws that are the foundation of all things, such as time, and the consequences are self-evident.
Previously, I threatened him with the annihilation of the universe. Now, it was his turn to threaten himself.
"It's a pity, Im."
At this time, Lovett said: "This is just a conjecture. Whether everything will happen or not only exists in theory."
"Will do."
"Um?"
"It will definitely happen."
While Kaido looked confused and muttered some suspicious words that he would study hard if he survived, Im smiled: "Don't you want to know what happened in the blank hundred years?"
"That's the answer."
"impossible!"
Lovett frowned: "The historical text does exist, and to establish an organization of such staggering scale as the World Government, you also had to spend a lot of time. It was not until 800 years ago that you ordered the severance of history."
"Yes, logically speaking, this is correct, and history does exist."
"But what about time?"
Im said in a relaxed tone: "If the memories in your head are all in order and without errors, but they are fictitious, how can you prove that your experience is real?"
The two of them suddenly shuddered.
Having said this, Im looked at the palm of his hand.
"I used to think the same way, that the history in my head was the real history. I didn't discover this contradiction until I controlled the power of time."
"And the answer was as expected."
"A blank hundred years means literally, a blank slate!"
"It never happened!"
"What we think exists are just memories in our heads! Real fictional memories!"
"Those 100 years have been erased!"
hiss----
Lovett took a breath: "Hey, don't tell me..."
"Ah!"
Im grinned: "Devil fruits existed 900 years ago, didn't they? And all the people at that time were dead. This is something both you and His Majesty know."
"What makes you think that there isn't a single person with abilities who has eaten the fruit of time?"
"Just like now..."
The shocking secret made Lovett feel dizzy.
He suddenly understood a little bit why Mrs. Shi stayed to accompany Kozuki Oden to die, and why she didn't work hard on her own to give her hope to a pair of children.
Method is method, motive is motive.
Just like a murderer in a murder case, a detailed chain of evidence is needed to convict.
Mrs. Shi also needs a detailed "chain of evidence" to prompt her to make that choice.
In addition, the technology that can deeply process the sea floor stone is only possessed by the Kozuki clan, and she is also a member of the Tentsuki clan who serves the daimyo. All these suspicions point to the longer past, when the God War took place 900 years ago!
"Yes, that's right!"
Im looked at them with a ferocious smile: "Mrs. Shi's parents were people from a hundred years ago, oh, nine hundred years ago. They foresaw the dark moment when history would be sealed in the future, so they suspended their daughter's time and sent her to 800
Saved it all years ago.”
"Then she succeeded and left a historical text. She thought her mission had been completed, but she ate the fruit of time again, and then left a prophecy, saying that she foresaw the destruction of the world government 800 years later."
"And what happened in the middle? Is the 100-year blank period I said true? Don't you like reading people's souls the most? Come and see, Earl Black!"
………………
I only have one small goal left for myself, which is to fill in all the previous pitfalls and try not to leave any conflicts.
What do you think of this plot? Can it be coherent?
