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

Chapter 302 Let's face the sun!
"Boom!"

The dome of Pangaea shattered with a deafening roar, unfurling wings of demons that blotted out the sky. Im's once exquisitely beautiful face was now covered in hideous scales, his curved demon horns piercing the void, and eight scarlet eyes gleaming in the darkness!

"What Joy Boy couldn't do"

A hoarse roar shattered the clouds, and the demonized Im looked down at Lin Mo, who was as small as an ant, its claws tearing through space:

"You have no chance of doing that, Emperor Yan, Lin Mo!"

Faced with this earth-shattering power, Lin Mo smiled.

"Finally, it's a little interesting."

After devouring all the Celestial Dragons, in Lin Mo's eyes, the aura emanating from the fully-formed Im had reached the high-level Dou Zong realm.

That's practically the limit of this world.

It's important to understand that even if Luffy awakens the Nika Fruit, he's only at the Emperor level. There's a huge gap between an ordinary Dou Huang and a top-tier Dou Zong.

It's unclear how this world originally ended. In Lin Mo's opinion, Luffy in his Nika form would need to activate at least two or three more power-ups before he could possibly defeat Im in front of him.

"I hope it won't disappoint me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo suddenly unleashed a burst of blazing blue flames, tearing a ray of light through the demon's shadow.

"boom--!"

Without any warning, Lin Mo's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Im's eight scarlet eyes contracted simultaneously, the next second.

A fist wreathed in blue flames, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, swept across the space with intense heat, and instantly crushed Im's pale face!
Im quickly parried, his crimson claws reaching forward.

Two world-destroying forces collided with a deafening roar.

"Crack—Boom!!"

The entire surface of Mary Geoise groaned in agony, and the ground within a kilometer radius of where Im stood collapsed with a deafening roar!

Countless building wrecks plunged into the abyss!

"How can it be?!"

Im's face showed an expression of utter shock.

Under this terrifying impact, her demonic body, which was capable of withstanding ancient weapons, was actually forced back!

"Bang--!!!"

Im's massive body crashed heavily into the ruins, adding a touch of sweet, metallic taste to his mouth.

"It's not over yet. Thank you. I can finally use my full strength without restraint."

Lin Mo's icy voice boomed in Im's ears.

The next instant, the fist burning with blue flames tore through the void, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that crashed down on her head!

Ora Ora Ora—!!!
The fiery fists rained down like a storm, each strike causing the space to tremble.

Who says even dogs won't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit? Lin Mo uses the Flame-Flame Fruit's classic move, Fire Fist, to prove its worth.

boom! boom! boom!
Punch after punch.

As the earth continued to be ravaged, Im's injuries multiplied, leaving him increasingly battered and struggling to defend himself.

She finally panicked.

The supposedly immortal regenerative ability was slowly starting to fall behind Lin Mo's ferocious destructive speed!

"Cough—!"

A heavy punch grazed her cheek, the scorching air burning half of her hair to ashes. Amidst the unseen smell of burning flesh, Im finally tasted the terror of death!

boom! !

A terrifying shockwave swept across the battlefield, completely leveling the already shattered Mary Geoise. Those magnificent buildings that symbolized the Celestial Dragons' rule were reduced to nothing, not even a speck of dust remained, annihilating the last vestiges of the Celestial Dragons' presence in the world!
"Ugh!" Im's face contorted in the impact, his body flung through the air like a kite with a broken string. Eight hundred years—a full eight hundred years since he had felt such pain!

But Lin Mo's offensive was far from over!

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Blue fiery wings streaked across the air, instantly splitting into dozens of clones. Attacks from all directions made Im writhe like a rag doll in a storm, battered and swayed by the relentless bombardment, constantly vomiting blood.

The pitch-black demon blood gushed forth continuously, each drop evaporating in mid-air.

Don't get too cocky!

Suddenly, Im let out a hysterical roar, and an extremely deep black light erupted from her body, instantly engulfing Lin Mo. The black light wriggled like a living thing, forming a huge dark cocoon, within which Lin Mo's figure was frozen motionless.

"No one can defeat me except Nika!"

In the world of One Piece, Devil Fruits were created because of various human desires.

Unlike those Devil Fruit users, Im is a demon herself; she is the embodiment of desire, a collection of all the dark sides: greed, lust, power, and jealousy.

That is why, for the past eight hundred years, no matter how many powerful figures have appeared on this sea, even someone as strong as Locke, she has not cared at all.

Because as long as one is human, one has desires. Even the purest soul cannot help but have dark thoughts at some point.

Seeing a beautiful woman arouses lust. Seeing wealth arouses greed. Seeing power arouses the desire to pursue it.

Anyone with desires cannot defeat her.

Im was so afraid of Nika because the sun god who brought laughter and liberation could dispel all darkness and desire with pure smiles and joy.

Im's ability is somewhat similar to that of the Four Madmen of One World and the Corpse Demon Tu Junfang, but its power is more than ten thousand times greater, because Im is desire itself.

"cough"

Watching Lin Mo being swallowed by the darkness, Im gasped for breath, finally able to get a moment's rest.

She looked down at her injuries; the blue flames were like a persistent, lingering infection, and even after the rotting flesh was torn away and regenerated, the burning sensation remained.

Im walked up to the towering black curtain, a victor's smile spreading across his face.

In the end, I will still be the one who wins.

This was true eight hundred years ago, and it will be true eight hundred years from now.

If the Celestial Dragons are gone, just create new ones.

As long as she is still alive, nothing has changed.

At this moment, Im was also very curious about what the desires were in the heart of this person who was even more powerful than Joy Boy.

Driven by curiosity, she reached her hand into the darkness, attempting to establish a mental connection with Lin Mo. However, the next second—

"Ahhhh!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout Mary Geoise.

Blood seeped from all eight of Im's eyes simultaneously; what she saw was not the greed, lust for power, or other dark forces she had expected—

It is not a sun that burns the soul!

Pure, intense, and unadulterated light engulfed her as if she were facing the very core of the sun. That light contained not a trace of desire, only the most primordial "existence" itself.

"Is this your trump card?"

As the sound rang out, a crack appeared on the surface of the towering black curtain.

Then the second and third
Finally, the entire black curtain exploded.

Amidst the dazzling flames, Lin Mo slowly stepped out, the flames surrounding him even more intense than before.

He looked up and revealed a smile so pure it sent chills down your spine.
