Chapter 244 Fruit Creation Slot Unlocked!

Chapter 244 Fruit Creation Slot Unlocked!
The twinkling starlight was extremely dazzling in Im's eyes.

He has abhorred this kind of light for decades.

And now, He saw the same light once again, and the mask of the shifting stars that He had never forgotten.

Not just Im.

At this moment, everyone on the entire ocean will surely be horrified by the figure that has appeared here.

That is now widely recognized as the most dangerous and mysterious place in the ocean.

But this time, the Star Lord who slowly walked out was different from any other time before.

He was still wearing that mask, and he was still surrounded by starlight.

But the difference lies in...
"Boom!" "Boom!"

Accompanying his progress.

Im could hear the resounding, powerful drumbeats and see the ever-spreading starlight.

Those streaks of starlight no longer existed only on him, but continued to fall along his body, illuminating the pitch-black ground that symbolized the abyss.

Even in the eternal darkness, the stars will always shine.

[Nika Fruit LV5 - Can assimilate everything it touches]

Looking at the other person's appearance, Im's voice carried a clear killing intent.

"Star Lord."

He said the other person's name: "I thought you would never dare to appear before me again."

"That means you have a misunderstanding about me."

The Star Lord answered calmly.

Upon hearing this, Im's killing intent intensified.

"You'll soon find out—reappearing in front of Mu was your biggest mistake."

"David has already been killed by M. And so will you!"

His words were cold and resolute.

"Whether it was 800 years ago or now—anyone who tries to overstep their bounds will perish under Mu's wrath!"

Upon hearing this, the Star Lord chuckled softly.

"David?"

He looked at Im: "You said he's dead—but I heard he caused quite a scene before he died."

"So, are you satisfied with his chosen exit, Im?"

The Star Lord spoke casually, as if everything was under his control.

But beneath the mask, Roy's expression was somewhat solemn.

Yes.

Roy himself wasn't quite sure what Im was talking about—the events at God Valley and Lox's subsequent fate were still a mystery to him, and he could only make rough guesses.

So at this moment, he was actually trying his best to get information out of her.

And he did indeed extract some quite valuable information.

For example, the 'David' mentioned in Im's words at this moment clearly does not refer to Davy Jones, but to Davy D. Gibbek—that is, Rocks.

This former ruler of the seas, who was once the Pirate King, seems to have indeed died in the end.

Roy wasn't surprised by this.

Because he already knew from Lingling's memories that Lockes seemed to have decided to die.

The problem is that, according to Lingling's memory, Lockes said that he planned to go against the 'world' again—and even invited Lingling and others to do so.

Therefore, Roy concluded that Rocks must have done something before he died.

And at this moment.
"boom!"

Within the surrounding abyss array, countless bloodline factor energy surged wildly.

And that came with it an overwhelming and terrifying pressure.

All of this is enough to prove that Roy's guess was correct.

"really."

"The previous David—that man did that under your orders, didn't he!?"

Im's voice was filled with an unprecedented anger.

That anger has lingered for over thirty years and continues to this day.

"You think letting that guy stop Mu will buy you more time to 'grow'?"

At that moment, its enormous tail suddenly rose up.

Stop daydreaming.

"This world will eventually be submerged by the sea, this world will eventually be buried in the abyss—this is the world's inevitable 'fate'!"

"Your delays are nothing but a death throes!"

As the words fell, the surrounding bloodline factors began to surge and converge towards Im.

And the Abyss Contract that was about to be formed also rapidly materialized at this moment.

Yes.

Upon seeing the Star Lord appear, Im decisively chose to escalate the situation—He wanted the Abyss Contract to take shape immediately. Even so, this meant that the 'vessel' that had been so painstakingly created could only exist for a shorter period of time.

But faced with the finally emerging threat, He could no longer afford to worry about such things.

But
"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

At that moment, however, He heard the Star Lord's voice, which remained calm and gentle.

The Star Lord gently raised his hand.

"Buzz!"

He took a single step and was already standing next to the giant tail.

He raised his hand and gently patted the huge tail!
next moment.
[A large number of bloodline factors have been discovered (impurities - desires and evil)]

[Analysis of 'Source of Bloodline Factor (Impurities - Desires & Evil)' is currently underway.]

[Removing impurities.]

The sound that came from beside him made Roy's heart skip a beat.

Yes.

After Tiger overheard Doflamingo and Im's conversation, Roy had already been preparing for this moment.

He knew, of course, that he must not allow Im's vessel to actually descend upon Dressrosa.

But to be honest, Roy was still a little worried about facing Im head-on—after all, he was going to be facing the god of this world.

But after he arrived here and saw Im in this state...

The information from the fruit encyclopedia dispelled his worries.

If the Abyss Contract has already been completed, then Roy might really have no way to break it—based on what he knows so far, 'Conqueror's Haki Entanglement' and 'Drum of Liberation' alone are not enough to break the Abyss Contract.

But the situation is different now.

The Abyss Contract is not yet complete. What appears before him is essentially just the 'bloodline factor source energy' that Im brought here through the Abyss Magic Array.

For him, this was not a 'danger' but rather an 'opportunity'.

And the facts proved him right.

Along with the news from the Fruit Encyclopedia, the bloodline factor energy gathered on the giant tail began to be rapidly analyzed and disappeared.

Instead
[69.45%→71.64%→73.63%]

The progress bar for 'bloodline factor development' within the Loy Fruit Encyclopedia began to rise rapidly.

Of course, at this moment, Im was unaware of the complex emotions Roy was experiencing.

Or to be more precise...
At this moment, 'God' had fallen into a rage.

"Mu's power... It really is you!"

He could sense that his power was disappearing from this world.

This is a unique situation.

In the past, He was certainly not the only one who opposed Him.

Joy Boy, Davy Jones, Lily Naferutari—among all those usurpers and traitors, there were some who made Him feel apprehensive.

But no one has ever been as special as the Star Lord.

It's important to understand that Im's power originates from the 'world' itself.

Even in the distant past, Joy Boy and Davy Jones, with the help of certain special Devil Fruits, were able to temporarily break free from the 'shackles' of the world, thereby killing the God Knight and even harming Him.

But Im's power will never dissipate—even if the contractor who possesses the power dies, that power will return to Im's body.

But the Star Lord was the only exception.

He seems to be able to absorb Im's power and even use it for his own purposes.

It was the same back in the God Valley era.

The same is true now.

Im understood the significance of this better than anyone else.

This is also the biggest reason why the Star Lord was able to surpass 'Joey Boy' and 'Davy Jones' and become the number one threat in his mind.

“You and I are ‘of the same kind’.”

Sensing the dissipating vessel, Im finally turned his gaze to the Star Lord.

At this moment, He seemed to have regained control of his emotions, leaving only pure indifference.

"I look forward to seeing you again."

"This world doesn't need two 'creators'; the true creator—Mum alone—is enough!"
