Chapter 189: Clash of Gods, the Restless Dark Fruit.
Chapter 189: Clash of Gods, the Restless Dark Fruit.
The standoff between the golden pillar of light and the giant dark hand lasted only a moment.
The balance shattered in the next moment.
There was no loud noise.
Only the piercing hissing sound of energy annihilation could be heard.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful ring-shaped shockwave swept outwards in all directions from the point of impact!
Where the shock wave passed.
The rocks turned into dust.
The distant mountains were all shattered into pieces, some even leveled to the ground.
The already ravaged land of God Valley was once again severely damaged by this silent impact!
"Hmm!"
"Damn it!"
Rocks, Roger, the Whitebeard...
Everyone watching from afar was blown away by this irresistible energy storm.
The group was blown far away, crashing into countless rocks before finally managing to regain their footing.
Everyone stared intently at the eye of the storm, too shocked to utter a single word.
The aftershocks of just a long-range exchange of fire were already so terrifying.
The core area where energy rages.
Two figures, one in gold and one in black, emerged almost simultaneously from the light and darkness of the explosion!
Im abandoned long-range firefights.
He realized that, at the pure energy level, the opponent's divine power of light was in no way inferior to the dark source he wielded.
Then, on the body of the Satan Saint that he possessed, countless mysterious black runes flowed wildly, and the tentacles instantly transformed into sharp, pitch-black claws.
Amidst a shrill scream as space was torn apart, it hurtled straight at Chen Ye's chest!
Chen Ye neither dodged nor avoided.
Attack with attack! Violence with violence!
Faced with the dark claws that were tearing everything apart, he unleashed a golden fist, enveloped in the true fire of the sun, at an even faster speed.
A head-on clash!
"clang!"
A deafening roar echoed as the two forces collided once more above the Valley of the Gods.
At the point of impact, a spiderweb-like network of dark spatial cracks suddenly erupted and spread in all directions. The energy released alone caused a massive surviving mountain several kilometers away to silently collapse, shatter, and vanish into nothingness.
The next moment, the two disappeared.
Two streaks of light, one bright and one dark, clashed fiercely in the vast sky above the Valley of Gods.
Even the naked eye, and even top-tier Observation Haki, cannot fully capture their movements.
Each collision triggered a violent celestial phenomenon.
Their battlefield stretched from the ground to the sky, extending to every corner of this space.
On the edge of the battlefield.
"Gurarararar... What... what level of battle is this...?"
On the ground, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded swordsman, used his "Murakumogiri" to brace himself against the ground and barely managed to keep his balance.
He looked up at the two blurry lights in the sky, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
"A battle of this magnitude... what a terrifying monster..."
His prized Tremor-Tremor Fruit power, capable of destroying the world, seemed to pale in comparison to the clash between these two.
Roger's face, however, was more solemn than ever before.
He gripped the famous sword Ace at his waist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
As one of the strongest individuals of this era, he understood better than anyone else that the power and battle represented by the two beams of light in the sky had transcended the realm of mere cognition.
The battle intensified in the sky.
Im manipulated the endless darkness, transforming it into several ferocious giant tentacles, sealing off all of Chen Ye's escape routes from all directions.
Each tentacle carries a dark power that devours light.
Chen Ye merely snorted coldly.
With a thought, he conjured a sacred lance of the sun, composed entirely of pure light energy, out of thin air in his hand.
He didn't even make any extra movements.
Just a casual toss!
The holy spear transformed into a golden lightning bolt that pierced through the heavens and earth, instantly piercing and shattering the several dark tentacles along with the space behind them!
The darkness and blockade were instantly broken!
"boom!"
Another intense exchange of punches ensued.
The golden power of the sun god clashed violently with the pitch-black power of nothingness, briefly separating the two.
In that split second, Chen Ye's brow furrowed slightly beneath his white mask.
It wasn't because of Im's attack.
It originates from within himself.
The Dark Fruit that had been dormant in the system's storage space was now becoming incredibly active, more so than ever before!
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
A primal, intense longing, stemming from the fruit itself, surged forth wildly.
This consciousness was pure and primal, without any complex thoughts, with only one idea—to devour!
Its target was clearly pointed to the figure shrouded in dark energy a thousand meters away.
It seemed to have smelled a delicious tonic.
Im!
This Devil Fruit, representing gravity and darkness, became incredibly restless, frantically attacking the barriers of the system's storage space, trying to break free!
It's Im!
It was the void, darkness, and all-consuming primal power within him that awakened this fruit!
This sudden internal anomaly did not affect Chen Ye's battle rhythm.
He remained outwardly calm, but as Im, who had transformed into black lightning once again, revealed his murderous intent.
Just as Im's claws were about to touch his chest, Chenye's body suddenly spun around at an angle that no ordinary person could do.
His right leg, enveloped in the flames of the sun god, transformed into a golden battle axe, slicing through the sky and creating a series of sonic booms!
A lightning-fast spinning kick, delivered with incredible precision, struck Satan Saint's torso!
"Bang!"
Im was struck squarely by the force, and a moment of blankness flashed in his crimson eyes.
The next second, he tumbled dozens of times in the air, creating visible ripples in the air before he could barely regain his balance.
On the Satanic body that he possessed, a clear crack appeared where Chen Ye had kicked him.
Although the rift was quickly healed by the surge of dark energy, this was undoubtedly the first time since the start of the war that Im had truly suffered a loss in close combat!
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Chen Ye, filled with rage and a hint of incomprehension.
He doesn't understand.
Why?
Why did the opponent's strength increase again in that instant?
After kicking Im away, Chen Ye did not immediately pursue him.
He hovered silently in the air, maintaining an absolute sense of oppression over Im.
At the same time, he focused a wisp of his mind into the system.
He asked the question in his mind with a cold and unquestionable intent.
"System, please explain."
"What's going on with this fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
The battlefield has temporarily fallen into a stalemate.
Im was frantically assessing why Chen Ye's attack had unleashed power far exceeding that of his previous attacks.
Chen Ye, on the other hand, is waiting for an answer from the system.
