Chapter 304, Section 303: The Two-Way Journey Between the Star Cup and the World!

A week later.

The four major outer seas: east, south, west, and north.

Paradise and the New World.

Inhabited islands and uninhabited islands.

On the seabed or on a sky island.

One by one, the Devil Fruits were precisely captured by Moses, who devoured their source power.

Aside from the Devil Fruit users scattered across the ocean, all the unclaimed Devil Fruits that appeared on this planet were swept away by Moses.

A sky full of stars blooms in the night sky.

On a deserted island, Moses devised a treasure-hunting route to reach this island, the last place where the frequency of Devil Fruit fluctuations still exists.

Sensing a rather peculiar environment, a wave of energy spread outwards.

With a flick of his finger.

A few seconds later, a parabola flew from a distance and landed in Moses's outstretched right hand.

Erii, who was holding her left arm, asked curiously:
"Brother, what type of fruit is this?"

The one before that was a space fruit, what about this one?

A smile appeared on Moses's lips as he looked at the silver-gray Devil Fruit in his hand, which was covered with spiraling arabesque patterns.

"Paramecia type. Time Fruit".

A tiny root emitting a hazy glow grew from the palm of his hand. As soon as it appeared, under Messer's control, it pierced into the fruit and absorbed the original power of the Time Fruit.

Before long, all that was left in his hand was a hole-ridden, unpalatable fruit that had lost its original Devil Fruit form.

Sitting on the rocks on the ground, casually tossing away the useless things in his hands, Mercer entered a state of enlightenment, and an obscure concept of time surged within him.

Erii, seeing this, obediently sat down next to Messe.

A surge of conceptual power coursed across his body, the future, the years, the frequency of time fluctuating. Mercer's power, "The World," began to operate, evolving and completing the concept of time.

Immerse yourself in the world, and all things in the world interact with you. The flow of time, which is rolling towards the future, gradually slows down.

In my mind, it was as if a constantly rotating gray clock face appeared, with the hour, minute, and second hands freezing and slowly moving backward.

Click! Click!
The second hand rotates counterclockwise at lightning speed.

The minute hand rotates counterclockwise.

The same applies to the hour hand.

A gray halo bloomed on Mercer's body.

The next instant, Erii vaguely saw Messe's figure receding as if a frame had been dropped.

Mercer was acutely aware of this scene, realizing that he was returning to the past.

In the blink of an eye, Moses traveled back to a point in the past.

The temporal fluctuations on the body surface dissipate.

Standing upright, holding a Time Fruit in her hand, Erii, clinging to Messe's left arm, asked curiously:
"Brother, what type of fruit is this?"

As Moses sensed the complete Time Fruit in his hand, the smile on his face gradually became distorted.

The roots of the World Tree penetrate and devour the source of the Time Fruit.

Ten seconds later.

Moses returns to the past timeline once again.

Erii, still curious, uttered that question.

Devoured again
Devoured again
Devoured again
When he returned to the past timeline for the 49th time, Moses suddenly felt a faint sense of crisis lingering in his heart.

Because the surrounding environment began to instinctively reject him, the branches and leaves of the once freely growing flowers, grass and trees were like sword blades, pointing at him with malice.

A sense of rejection from the world is acting on one's perception.

"Brother, what type of fruit is this?"

Erii, who was holding her left arm, asked curiously.

Moses looked thoughtful: "It's the Fruit of Time."

During this period of absorbing the essence of the Devil Fruit, Moses has thoroughly analyzed the principles of Devil Fruit composition.

It is a product of the imagination of intelligent beings.

It is also an instinctive evolution from the origin of the world.

A peculiar existence, similar to the concept of world-forged weaponry.

Devil Fruits are often unique; at any given timeline, only one genuine Devil Fruit will ever exist.

Even if an artificial Devil Fruit is made to look exactly like the original, the essence of the world it contains will be incomplete. The source of the world's essence is simply derived from the original fruit.

Therefore, it is clear that even if one returns to the past and devours the world's origin, it will not return. The high frequency of plundering the origin will be rejected by the world's instincts.

and,

Because of its use of the "Star Cup" ten years ago, this world has undergone a special evolution.

The origin of the world has become more active.

The actions just now were like a thief making frequent thefts, which would eventually alert even the most dim-witted landlord.

However, Moses sensed that the feeling of repulsion was slowly diminishing as time went by.

The Time Fruit in his hand was tossed up and down repeatedly.

Speaking of the Star Cup, Moses's lips curled into an even more sinister smile.

"The Star Cup originates from one's own 'orb of light' lottery, and is one's own possession, with a fundamental master-servant relationship."

Although it has become integrated into the origin of this world after use, the "Star Cup" is an object gathered from an omniscient and omnipotent authority.

Although what I obtained was only a one-time use item, the essence of the Star Cup was indeed incomparably sublime.

Although the Star Cup was absorbed into the origin of the world, modified the world's rules, and was consumed, its essence will not disappear.

Furthermore, as it merged into the origin of this world, and as the world's limitations were broken with the passage of time, the Star Cup thus completed its own rebirth and a special kind of completion through the evolution of the world.

And yes, it has been localized.

It was indeed a two-way journey.

At this moment, the Star Cup and the origin of the world are inseparable and intertwined.

As they complete their evolution, they gain a leap in life level.

After reappearing in this world, Moses vaguely sensed the existence of the Star Grail.

Yes, thanks to the master-servant connection with the Star Grail, the Star Grail currently exists within the very origin of the planet.

Just thinking about this made Moses want to burst out laughing.

However, the Star Cup has not yet truly completed itself, so there is no need for Messer to take the Star Cup now.

As for retrieving the Star Cup from the origin of the world, that's even simpler.

One approach would be to use enormous amounts of energy to penetrate the core of the planet, causing a massive upheaval at its very origin.

Another method is to devour the planet's origin, at which point the Star Cup will naturally appear.

Another option, which is both more complicated and simpler, is to become the strongest, rule the world, and gain the complete recognition of the vast majority of races in the world.

However, Moses had a simpler plan in mind: to use the World Tree's own essence to refine this primordial star of the world, and finally merge this planet into his own inner universe.

In this way, by virtue of his control over the world's authority over the inner universe, he could easily retrieve the Star Cup.

Furthermore, given the connection between the "natives" themselves and the localized Star Cup, this refining process will not cause rejection from the world's origin.

The saying "boiling a frog in lukewarm water" is indeed true.

He gripped the Time Fruit tightly, crushing it to pieces. The power of the Time Fruit dissipated, and through his special perception, this power of the origin of time eagerly merged into the origin of the world.

Just like Moses was some heinous villain.

Erii watched Mercer's actions with curiosity and sensed the escape and disappearance of the Time Fruit's power.

"Brother? Don't you need it?"

Mercer turned around, ruffled her hair, picked her up, and sat her on a nearby rock.

A happy smile spread across his face.

Erii hugged Mercer's neck, leaning against his chest, her eyelashes fluttering as she sensed his pleasure.

"Brother, you seem very happy?"

Moses shook his head and chuckled softly:
"I just got a lot of 'freebies' from the world, so I'm just a little happy." Erii smiled sweetly, pleased with Mercer's delight.

Behind him, clouds swirled and solidified into a backrest, and Messe leaned against the comfortable clouds, holding the obedient and considerate Erii in her arms.

I lay on the clouds, gazing up at the beautiful night sky.

Now is the time to digest.

The two are in sync, their consciousnesses intertwined and merged.

As they controlled the World Tree and absorbed the power of the origin of time, the obscure concept of time rippled across their bodies.

As he entered the realm of power and witnessed the transformation of the power "world," Moses instinctively understood that it meant evolving himself by integrating and governing the power of three thousand other realms.

The term "three thousand" is not mandatory; it is a general term derived from the concept of the three thousand realms of the Great Dao.

In general, growth in the realm of power is a transformation towards the realm of omnipotence.

To elevate one's own power, and to achieve omnipotence (authority) through one's own power.

Moses' own inner universe is itself a type of world.

Cultivating one's own inner universe is also a form of self-evolution.

As the inner universe grows, its various essential concepts will also be continuously refined.

Thus, Moses had a clear understanding of his future path.

Power, on the other hand, is woven together from different concepts.

Different kinds of concepts can also create different kinds of powers.

His own power, "the world," is a miracle that spontaneously condensed due to the birth of the inner universe.

It is also inevitable.

It is also a flawed omnipotent authority.

Mercer recalled the extraordinary messages that instinctively arose in his mind after he ate the fruit formed from the essence of the world's authority.

Time, the past, and the future.

Its own timeline is constantly jumping.

Various concepts collide in consciousness, and the power of "world" is analyzed, completed, and woven together.

Obscure fluctuations in time appeared on the bodies of Messer and Erii, their physical ages constantly changing, sometimes young, sometimes old, or as if their bodies were dropping frames.

You can see it, yet you can't see it.

The concept of time became blurred on the bodies of both Moses and his companion.

At some point, a crystal with a dull, translucent color appeared in my consciousness.

Power. Time.

next moment,
The "world" absorbed and merged with "time" as nutrients, allowing the world to grow, thanks to the core power of Messer.

[Powers: World (1/3000)]

An extremely obscure change is simultaneously occurring within the inner universe of the body.

A hazy gray halo appeared simultaneously on the World Tree in the Starry Sea.

The roots became thicker and stronger, the main trunk gained weight and matured over time, and the branches and leaves became lush and verdant.

Gray hues flowed and settled on the cocoons of light hanging on the branches of the world's trees.

Erii was lost in deep thought at this moment. Messer sensed her changes and intervened slightly, causing fluctuations in space to begin to flow.

After all, time and space are inseparable.

In Moses's view,
If Erii, who embodies various concepts, were to weave power, it would be best to start from the perspective of time and space.

Although the nature of power is sublime, it still has varying degrees of strength.

It's better to have a deeper foundation when building one's own "foundation".

Erii has that potential.

Sensing Messe's feelings, Erii naturally trusted him and accepted his insights, and they began to advance side by side in space.

The gray mist engulfed Erii and merged with itself.

Mercer stood up, his gaze piercing through the ground beneath his feet, and in an instant, he teleported to the core of the original planet beneath his feet.

The surroundings were filled with scorching lava, but for Moses at this moment:
"This temperature is nothing compared to the drizzle."

The vortex portal opened in a lava field, and thick, hazy gray roots of the World Tree grew out.

The next moment, the roots of the World Tree plunged into the lava and took root in the void.

The fine roots started from the vortex portal and spread outwards to assimilate into the surrounding area.

It began refining the core of this primordial planet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mercer watched this scene with a calm gaze. Then, a concept of soul spread out, and the magma, thousands of meters in diameter, was given a soul and brought to life.

One after another, magma elemental life forms appeared, staring wide-eyed at Messer.

"Your mission is to protect this place and prevent any living creature from coming here."

Understand? "

All the magma elemental life forms shouted in unison:

"Yes, sir!!!"

Although Moses couldn't imagine who would come here, it wouldn't be too much trouble to play it safe and have some backup plans.

Moses watched with satisfaction and sensed the time it took for the World Tree to assimilate.

Because of the special circumstances surrounding the "traitor" Star Cup, Moses's eyes flickered slightly:
"Three to five years?"

It wasn't too long.

A smile appeared on Moses' face, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported away from there.

on the sea,
A magnificent dragon soars into the sky.

Reclining on the comfortable back of the dragon, Mercer wore a faint smile.

Sensing the World Tree's roots rapidly refining the star core's essence, it also took the opportunity to absorb some of the planet's internal energy.

The changes occurred silently.

Moses shook his head to clear these thoughts from his mind, and then sensed the Devil Fruit users appearing within his sensory circle.

An idea began to form in my mind.

The power of Devil Fruits often represents a certain kind of essential conceptual power.

Furthermore, the origin of Devil Fruits is unique.

Furthermore, after the user dies, the power of the Devil Fruit will completely leave the user's body and be reborn in a certain location.

then.

Moses thought of the primordial fruit, which possessed multiple essential concepts, gathered together through the World Tree.

Could we then release these Origin Fruits into the world to replace Devil Fruits?
Through its own world authority, the origin of the Origin Fruit still retains its independent and unique characteristics.

Furthermore, the essence of recording and evolution means that after gaining an ability through a user, as long as they are alive, they will continuously comprehend conceptual abilities and use this comprehension to continuously enhance and grow the foundation of their original Devil Fruit power.

It's like the unique ability [One For All] passed down in some other world.

As more and more powerful individuals come into contact with it, they will weave together the power of this fundamental concept of evolution.

Ultimately, these concepts may be woven into powers by generations of capable individuals.

After all, the imagination of intelligent life is limitless.

Cast a wide net.

Dark Lake Fishpond Project.

Thinking of this, Moses's gaze became serious:
"I really am evil."

However, it's not without potential.

By virtue of his control over the inner universe.

Adding some essential procedures to the original fruit is not impossible.

Moreover, there's the future Star Cup.

After the Star Cup returns, Mather also has some ideas for collaborations that he wants to experiment with.

As for whether it will fall apart in the future?
