Im's expression was shocked at first, then became confused after a few seconds. As her eyes glanced back and forth in the void, her face finally turned pale.
"It's impossible...you actually...but how is it possible..."
An expression called [panic] began to appear on her perfect face, her eyes fixed on a void somewhere, and she kept glancing back and forth between that direction and Victor.
In the perceptual vision of [God's Lamp], everything has its shape, and concepts are no exception.
If the fate of all things in this world must be described in words, then Im can describe it as an infinitely expanding tree. The branches are infinite and are constantly growing new shoots and spreading towards the future. Im borrowing
The magical power of the elimination fruit can grab one of the branches and break it to erase it.
The Five Old Stars, the Flame Demonic Sword, the Black Steel Dragon... these people or things were all directly erased by Im's ability to eliminate the [past], [present] and [future].
Without the [past], this thing will not exist in people's memory.
If [now] is lost, the body will disappear and collapse.
If you lose the [future], even if you find the past and present, they will immediately collapse and disintegrate.
[God's Lamp] and [Destroying Fruit], this is an invincible combination that no one can match, and it is also the reason that Im can defeat the huge kingdom that was at the top of the world 800 years ago and hold the throne for 800 years.
But now, Im saw a scene that was hard for her to accept.
A thin, endlessly spreading zipper connects the [destinies] between Im and Victor.
The zipper may seem fragile, but no matter how much Im activates the elimination fruit or any other type of fruit ability, it cannot be shaken in the slightest.
Intangible to touch and invisible, only the special vision color [God's Lamp] that has evolved to its extreme can peek at this slender zipper that seems to break at the slightest touch.
"Have you finally discovered it? Did I ever tell you, Miss, that you are really slow?"
Victor put his hands in his pockets easily, standing in the shadow behind the Void Throne and looking at Im on the opposite side. The two of them stood at opposite ends, one in the light and the other in the dark, separated by the Void Throne.
"What... is this?" Im shouted emotionally, his voice no longer ethereal but sharp and harsh: "What did you do to me!"
Victor looked up at the ethereal slender zipper and smiled meaningfully: "It's as you wish. If you want to move into the future with me, I will connect my destiny with you. Now, you and I are this
The most amazing community of destiny in the world."
Im couldn't understand Victor's thoughts at all, and her gorgeous long silver hair was disturbed by her hands: "Are you crazy? Why do you do this!?"
"To kill you."
Victor was still smiling and softly said words that made Im scared:
"How could I not guess that you must have a Devil Fruit in your body to deal with fatal attacks? To be honest, at the beginning, I really couldn't think of how to defeat you. This should have been a losing battle."
He looked at the Steel Chain Finger Requiem beside him, who also turned his head slightly to look at him: "The wonderful thing is that the Chain Fruit responded to the most urgent wish in my heart at the most critical moment. In order to help me overcome the
You began to force yourself to evolve and sublimate towards a higher level, and finally completed the Steel Finger Requiem, the embodiment of the fruit's ability."
"...Are you kidding? How can a Devil Fruit have its own consciousness?" Im looked at Victor, as if he was looking at a terminally ill madman.
"I've told you many times, Miss, you are really slow."
Victor's smile remained unchanged: "The [Curse] and [Restrictions] of the Devil Fruit have always been a part of it. When you use the Cancellation Fruit to erase all the negative effects of the Devil Fruit, you have already killed its future. Steel Chain Finger Zhenhun
Qu's ability to seal the fruit is not absolute. You can think of it as releasing the devil fruit from the body of the esper, and the wavelength unique to this devil fruit returns to the world. The result is obvious, the devil fruits you have treasured for a long time are like this...
…”
Victor raised his right hand and made a flying gesture: "I can't wait to escape from you. I just gave them two choices - to continue to be trapped in your body and sit in a hard prison for a lifetime, or to break up and go their separate ways. They seemed to
They all made the same choice."
"...That's nonsense!"
Im's beautiful golden pupils seemed to be congested with blood: "Then why don't you also seal the elimination fruit? Wouldn't killing me be the end of the world? You can't do it! You can't kill me at all!"
"Indeed, I can't do anything with your elimination fruit. Even if I try my best to kill you, the devil fruit ability in your body will be activated to help you resurrect, right?"
Victor smiled softly: "It's really an unsolvable situation. Nothing can threaten you. You can always sit on the throne and overlook the world. Even the [Four Emperors] are just like clowns in your eyes."
There is no threat. However, the Steel Chain Finger Requiem, which I and all the chain avatars dedicated everything to create, gave me the only answer, the answer that can completely defeat you——
When will a person like you die? The heart is pierced? The poison is taken? The head is cut off? Wrong, none of them. Only when you die, the moment you are destined to die,
You will truly die."
Im was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Then you will be disappointed, dear Victor. Eight hundred years ago, I accepted the ultimate secret of the surgical fruit power user [Immortality Surgery], and thus obtained'
Eternal life'. My lifespan has no end!"
"Of course I know this. You are an immortal, but I am not."
Victor smiled slightly and gently touched his chest with his thumb: "No matter how powerful I am, I am just an ordinary person, and death is not far away from me."
"You..." Im also realized at this time that this hall is already independent of the time and space of the world. If the stalemate continues, one day Victor will die due to the end of his lifespan, and he, as a community with a shared future, will also follow suit.
die.
No, there is still hope! As long as [God's Lamp] is given enough time, Im believes that he will be able to analyze and break through the protection of Steel Finger Requiem, and erase this damn zipper of fate. As long as before that
There is no problem in preventing Victor from committing suicide. He has a large amount of Devil Fruit stored in his body for healing and resurrection, so he can definitely do it... he can definitely do it...
Im shook her feet and knelt down on the ground. She opened her beautiful golden eyes blankly, her long silver eyelashes trembling slightly, and muttered to herself: "What...how could it be..."
Opposite her, Victor's body also swayed. He was held up by the steel chain finger Requiem beside him. His breath was so weak that he could only speak softly: "I'm sorry, I let you down again. I accepted [The World] before.
When I was in power, I only took the negative effect of 'life-span consumption'. Has Steel Finger Requiem finally consumed all my lifespan after appearing for so long... Hehe, it seems that my original lifespan is quite long...
"
Im fell to the ground, his eyes were dull and he said with hatred: "Victor... you... lunatic..."
"Miss, last but not least, I want to give you a message."
Victor paralyzed in the arms of the steel chain fingers, a smile on his face that was so pale that no trace of blood could be seen:
"There is only one destiny in a person's life, and your destiny has already come."
"Asshole..." A sad smile appeared on Im's face, and his voice gradually became lower: "I'll wait for you on the Huangquan Road..."
Im's body no longer rose and fell, just lying quietly in front of the Void Throne.
"Oh...forget it, I don't want to go with you..."
Victor didn't even have the strength to laugh. He lay slumped in the arms of Steel Finger Requiem, looked at the rough-carved ceramic face, and said softly: "Thank you for your company all the time..."
"You are free, good partner."
Victor closed his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep, calm and peaceful.
Steel Chain Finger Requiem held Victor and sat half-leaning on the back of the Void Throne, motionless. After an unknown amount of time, the little boy's voice sounded, like a sigh:
