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

Chapter 289 "Im" Appears

"Oh no! Lord Satan is injured!" the navy shouted in panic.

Saint Satan glanced at the severed body and said coldly, "I will now show you the majesty of a god. Such an injury is insignificant to a god."

Black flame-like energy surged wildly from the two severed bodies, reconnecting them once more.

Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle fitting together out of thin air, it was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye, without leaving a single scratch.

Lieutenant General Dor, standing to the side, looked utterly shocked upon seeing this scene.

"The healing ability of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit Awakener? No, it's far more exaggerated than that. This was cut in two, and this kind of terrifying regenerative power is like creation and regeneration."

Even in the underwater prison, those who awaken their Zoan Devil Fruit abilities cannot do this.

Could it be a mythical beast?

This is the only explanation that can be barely made.

Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, possesses the Phoenix Fruit, which allows him to do something similar.

Known as the Phoenix, Marco can regenerate even if his brain and heart are damaged. However, Marco's regeneration requires physical exertion, so he is not completely immune to injury.

Lieutenant General Dor also met Marco during the battle at the top.

However, the sensory experience it evokes is completely different from that of the Satanic Saint before one's eyes.

Is this really a mythical beast?

The thought flashed through Lieutenant General Duo'er's mind the instant.

A new round of attacks has begun on the field.

This time, it was Satan who launched the attack.

"Pay the price for your arrogance," Satan Saint's icy voice rang out, "Fierce Eyes!"

Satan Saint's two scarlet eyes suddenly flashed with an eerie light, shooting directly at Lin Mo. An invisible mental pressure rolled down like a mountain—far more terrifying than the unconscious oppression he had previously emitted!
It should be noted that the mental pressure unconsciously emitted by Satan Saint was enough to kill any Marine below the rank of Commodore with a headshot. The power of his fierce gaze at this moment was unimaginable!

However, this level of mental impact had absolutely no effect on Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn't make any other unnecessary movements. The other person glanced at him, and he returned the glance.

However, at the very moment their eyes met—

boom! ! !
An invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly descended! Satan Saint's massive body sank abruptly, and his six spider legs made a "crack" sound as they struggled under the immense gravity.

Under the terrifying pressure, Satan Saint's six spider legs burst one after another, splattering dark green venomous blood everywhere.

After losing his support, his entire body was pressed against the ground, his head pressed firmly against the ground, and he was completely unable to move.

"Emperor Yan Linmo!" Satan Saint roared.

"Are the Five Elders really that weak?" Lieutenant General Dor whispered in disbelief as she watched this scene.

"No," Kizaru said weakly, having been helped to his feet, "Lin Mo is just too strong."

Kizaru and the others originally thought that although Lin Mo had killed Kaido, it was only a Pyrrhic victory.

It now appears that Lin Mo's strength has already surpassed the level of the Four Emperors.

"Noisy."

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked open!
Boom——

Centered on Satan Saint, the ground within a radius of tens of meters collapsed with a deafening roar, forming a huge crater. Lin Mo stood at the edge of the crater, looking down at what lay below:

"I've said before that I don't like looking up when I speak."

"Ahhh-"

Satan let out a piercing scream as his massive body exploded under the terrifying pressure. Black energy surged wildly, attempting to reassemble his body, but each time it was torn apart again by new forces!

His once human-shaped upper body was completely twisted and deformed, transforming into a terrifying monster with bull horns. Satan struggled, looking up at Lin Mo. He couldn't see his face clearly, only a pair of scarlet eyes, and within those eyes—

A sun pattern suddenly appeared!
"The sun?" Satan was shocked.

If he hadn't known the true face of the sun god, he would have almost thought that the terrifying creature before him was their nemesis!

Not dying doesn't mean you don't feel pain!
Even the strongest will will crumble in this endless cycle of hell.

escape!
This was Satan's first instinctive reaction.

The next moment, a strange magic circle lit up at the feet of Saint Satan—

Both the Five Elders and the Knights of God can use this magic circle for spatial teleportation.

This ability must have come from Im.

Want to escape?
Lin Mo stretched out his right hand, and a golden soul-summoning banner immediately appeared in his hand.

With a flick of his soul-summoning banner, the void trembled!

"Whoosh-"

Satan Saint's soul was forcibly extracted from his body!
After entering the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Mo's magical treasures could be shared with his counterparts in all the heavens and myriad worlds through his Nascent Soul.

Of course, the quantity cannot be too large, because the magic weapon must be refined into a natal infant treasure.

It's like turning a magical artifact into a part of yourself; the principle is similar to sharing bloodlines or Devil Fruit abilities.

Lin Mo originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to actually succeed.

Satan's soul was directly drawn into the Soul-Summoning Banner. After losing his soul, his body instantly weathered away, turning into dust and completely dissipating into the world.

Suddenly, Lin Mo frowned.

He sensed an aura several times more malevolent than that of Satan Saint erupting from the direction of the research layer in the distant sky!

Lin Mo's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in the research center.

The sight before him made his gaze slightly narrow—

A woman with jet-black demon wings on her back floated in mid-air, holding an ancient tome that emitted an ominous black light. Beside her, York had grown curved demon horns on his head, and a pair of small demon wings were flapping behind him, clearly indicating that he had completed his demon transformation.

At the same time, their bodies were being slowly swallowed up by a huge magic circle in the void, and half of their bodies had already been submerged in it!
“Im”.

"You know me?"

The woman with the demonic wings slowly raised her head, her scarlet eyes staring directly at Lin Mo.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly raised her hand, and a beam of pitch-black light shot straight toward Vegapunk and the others in the distance!

Lin Mo raised his hand to stop them, and the next second, "Im" and York's figures completely disappeared from the magic circle.

The magic circle slowly closed, leaving only a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

"Who exactly is that woman?!" Vegapunk asked, still shaken.

He already had a vague answer in his heart.

Lin Mo glanced at Vegapunk and said, "It's the being you're guessing. You, who have studied the Poneglyphs, should know this."

"Her name is Im. What I was seeing was merely her avatar, not her true form."

"By the way, why did she take York away?"

“York secretly hid a wisp of Mother Flame, stored it using special methods, and evaded all detection methods, even deceiving us,” Lilith said with a grim expression.
