At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 288 What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly.
"This scale... Is this a Buster Call being used against me?"

In the center of Egghead Island, on the high-altitude research layer, Lin Mo looked at the dark naval fleet on the distant sea surface, and a ferocious smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"Since it's about slaying demons..."

Lin Mo took a step forward and fell directly from a height of hundreds of meters.

"Then I'll show you what a real 'demon' is!"

boom!
The smoke cleared.

Lin Mo appeared before everyone.

The mere sight of them caused the landing force, led by nine elite naval vice admirals, to collectively take a step back. Swallowing sounds filled the air, and large beads of sweat rolled down the foreheads of these battle-hardened naval elites, instantly soaking the backs of their uniforms with cold sweat.

Most of them had participated in the Marineford War, but even Whitebeard's earth-shattering power was far less oppressive than the man in front of them!
Just standing there makes your scalp tingle and your legs tremble.

This feeling is indescribable; it's a fear of a powerful being that comes from the depths of the soul or is etched into one's biological genes.

Vice Admiral Dor's face showed anger, but her body trembled uncontrollably. As an elite vice admiral of the navy, she had faced countless powerful enemies, but never before had she felt such fear—as a vice admiral who bore the burden of "justice," she was actually afraid of a pirate!
She was angry at her own incompetence.

But this is not her fault at all. You should know that even the Navy's top combat power, Admiral Kizaru, was no match for her.

The gap between the two sides was too great, so great that she didn't even have the right to face it squarely.

Let alone actually fighting.

Lin Mo completely ignored the lieutenant generals and walked slowly past them.

"Emperor Yan, Lin Mo!"

Duo'er clenched her fists, finally mustered the courage, and squeezed out the name through gritted teeth.

next moment--

Lin Mo simply waved his hand casually.

boom! ! !
An invisible shockwave instantly tore the sea surface apart! The first dozen or so warships on the sea surface broke apart like paper boats, and thousands of sailors were thrown into the air like dumplings being dropped into a pot, before crashing heavily into the sea.

—With a casual strike, the entire fleet was reduced to ashes!

Lin Mo then turned his head, his scarlet pupils sweeping lightly over Duo'er:
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Amidst the roaring sound of water.

Lieutenant General Duo'er froze on the spot. At this moment, she finally understood what it felt like to face Lin Mo.

That is the fear that humans feel when faced with natural disasters.

Lin Mo is a natural disaster walking among humans!

In a deep pit nearby.

Kizaru lay on his back in the ruins, one hand weakly covering his face, the other trembling as he pulled out a small Den Den Mushi and pressed the emergency communication button.

"Porusalino."

The Den Den Mushi emitted a deep, authoritative voice.

"I'm very sorry," Kizaru's voice was weaker than ever before, "I am no match for Emperor Yan Linmo. I was struck in a vital spot and am temporarily unable to move."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"understood."

Communication was cut off, leaving Kizaru lying there alone, his hand still covering his face.

This time, he wasn't slacking off; he was genuinely unable to move. Lin Mo raised his head, looking at the distant naval flagship, his voice booming like thunder across the entire sea:

"Has the old tortoise, who's hidden in Pangu City his whole life, finally decided to come out this time?"

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth:

"How long are we going to hide?"

In Lin Mo's perception, the corrupt and evil aura of the Five Elders was as bright as a torch in the dark night—these behind-the-scenes masters who had controlled the world for eight hundred years had finally made their move.

The next moment, a shrill broadcast rang out over the sea.

"Attention all Marines! The Five Elders, Saint Satan, is about to land in Egherd! All officers below the rank of Commodore are strictly forbidden from looking directly at his face! Repeat, strictly forbidden from looking directly at his face!"

Before the words were even finished, a strange black pentagram suddenly appeared on the ground. Pitch-black flames erupted from the formation, and in the distorted space, a terrifying figure gradually materialized—

It was a monster whose upper body remained human-shaped and who used a cane, but whose lower body was connected to the body of a giant spider!

Jaigorusia Satan Saint!
"What is this?!" A naval captain, driven by instinctive curiosity, looked up.

"boom!"

With just a glance, his head exploded like a ripe watermelon! Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, and the headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground.

Even a powerful figure like Lieutenant General Dor felt a severe headache at this moment, clearly indicating that she had been subjected to some kind of mental attack.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the surface. My name is Jeygorusia Satan Saint, one of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense." Satan Saint's enormous and imposing head tilted slightly downwards, looking down at Lin Mo. "Emperor Lin Mo, hand over the Mother Flame!"

Lin Mo looked up at Satan Saint and saw that he was surrounded by black flames, a characteristic of the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities.

However, in Lin Mo's view, Satan Saint was more like the demon itself—the Bull Demon.

Its enormous size, standing six or seven meters tall, is incredibly imposing.

As Lin Mo looked at Satan, a visible black aura suddenly erupted from Satan, surging towards Lin Mo like a tidal wave. However, this evil aura, powerful enough to cause the mental breakdown of an ordinary expert, mysteriously dissipated into nothingness a few meters away from Lin Mo.

"Scientific defense against the God of War?" Lin Mo scoffed. "Does a third-rate demon like you deserve to be called a god?"

"This is my final warning to you, Emperor Yan Lin Mo: hand over the Mother Flame."

Satan said in a deep voice, "Only by revering the gods can one live a long life."

"Hahaha, you've only lived a few hundred years longer by sacrificing your soul and being someone's dog, and you actually think you're a god?"

In the world of One Piece, a lifespan of several hundred years is truly a miracle.

But Lin Mo deals with Nascent Soul stage monsters who have lived for thousands of years in the mortal world.

"The stench of a rotting soul is unbearable." Lin Mo raised his head and looked directly at Satan Saint. "Also, I'm not used to talking to people with my head tilted back."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo raised his right hand slightly, his five fingers together like a knife, and casually swung it.

"Shh-"

An invisible blade of air sliced ​​through the air, making a faint whooshing sound.

Satan Saint's massive body suddenly froze, a thin line of blood appearing at his waist. The next second, his six- or seven-meter-tall body was neatly split in two at the waist, his upper body slowly tilting before crashing to the ground.

"Pfft-"

Blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain, instantly staining the ground within a radius of tens of meters red.

"Lord Five Old Stars!"

The naval elites screamed in terror, their faces turning deathly pale. They could hardly believe their eyes—one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government, had been casually sliced ​​in two with a single "sword"?
