People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

The moment this name appeared, Fang Zhou's face was filled with confusion, and then... more confusion.

Shidra? That was a Ark, a name they had never heard of. Looking at his expression, Kuzuya Kota and Kimon Kaito could tell that Ark was completely unaware of that guy's existence.

But as for the Pattern Screamers...isn't that the Supreme Godhead in the Foundation next door? How is it connected to that thing?

Don't tell me that the howls of the Pattern Screamers have already spread to our multiverse. If that's the case, then what the hell, just clean up the mess.

Fang Ark didn't think he had any good way to deal with this monster, which could tear the entire universe apart in an instant as long as most people became aware of its existence and could not be completely eliminated. Apart from eliminating the entire universe's knowledge of the Pattern Screamer, it would be a death ball, a death ball, and a death ball.

"That's right. You've been helping the Demon King separate those connected universes. During that time, that guy probably didn't tell you about some of the major events that happened in the universe. He might have been worried that these things would distract you. After all, the real priority at that time was to deal with the aftermath of the disaster.

You definitely don't know about Shidra, but...ah, don't worry about the Pattern Screamer, it's just a metaphor, but judging by your expression, you know who it is."

When Kuzuya Kota saw Fang Zhou's obviously worsening expression, he immediately knew that he must have misunderstood. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained immediately.

The Pattern Screamer, that was something that Kota Kuzuba learned about from a virtual website called the Foundation. According to it, it was a kind of demon that was very similar to the evil demon they were talking about, but it was a super-enhanced Ultimate Plus version.

Legend has it that he is the true nothingness, the non-existence before the universe, a resident of the border of hell. The Pattern Screamer hates existing things, so he lets out a soul-tearing laugh and takes revenge on the existing universe, time and space, dimensions, and the life within them.

As long as there are enough individuals in a universe who know the concept of Pattern Screamers, the universe will be torn apart and destroyed by its terrifying power in an instant.

And because the Pattern Screamers are consciousnesses that exist in the basic structure of reality and are projections of the thoughts of the inhabitants of the previous multiverse, they are almost impossible to kill and are quite terrifying and difficult monsters.

Of course, this level of terrifying monsters can only be considered as medium to low level among the supreme deities recorded by the Foundation.

Fang Zhou still remembers how shocked he was when he first learned about the monsters in the Foundation, so much so that his face suddenly became extremely ugly when he heard that something like the Pattern Screamer might already exist around him.

Fortunately, this guy Kuzunoha Kota just used an inappropriate metaphor.

"You made a good analogy. Don't use it again next time."

Fang Zhou waved his hand, and Geye Kota broke out in a cold sweat at the slightly mocking look in Qiwen Jiedou's eyes.

"I haven't even started using metaphors yet."

He felt somewhat helpless, but he had not expected that the Pattern Screamer would cause such a big reaction in the Ark. However, if such a terrifying monster really existed in this multiverse, he could not imagine how he and others could fight against it.

Oma Zi-O? Although it was a bit of a blow to his prestige, to be honest, Kuzuya Kota expressed his doubts. Perhaps he should ask Kadoya Shi to go to the neighboring Land of Light to ask for some shamans to come over for support.

"Please start your metaphor."

Fang Zhou calmed down and stretched out his hand to signal Kuzunoya Kota that he could continue, which made Kuzunoya Kota express his complicated feelings.

"Now that you mention it, I'm at a loss for metaphors. Sigh, to put it simply, you can think of Shidra as a less-than-advanced, younger version of a Pattern Screamer. Ultimately, that creature is essentially the same thing as the demons of the Warp. Uh, not the Warp of Chaos, but the layer between the Universe and the Anti-Universe. Yes, it's the same thing you're talking about, except Shidra is... extra large."

A demon! Another demon! But what kind of demon could possibly terrify both Kuzunoha Kota and Kimon Kaito? And by "extraordinarily large," do you mean in terms of size? It's even been called a "younger, less sophisticated version of the Pattern Screamer."

"According to Fujimaru and Tenkuji, Shidra's first appearance was probably shortly after Kaito and I had regained our strength and mastered the power of nature and superhumans."

Kuzuba Kota and Kimon Kaito had just mastered the power of nature and superhuman power... That was when he and others had just separated the Gaim world from the One Piece world.

"At that time, Shidra appeared on the Sky Temple side. Although Fujimaru led Chaldea to provide support in time, the Ghost World..."

Fang Zhou's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that, no, if that was the case, there was no way Tokiwa Sougo would not have told him. Moreover, he looked normal at the time, not like the world had just been destroyed.

"Don't worry, the Ghost world is fine. Tenkuji and Fujimaru protected that world, but they were both seriously injured. It took them almost their lives to expel Shidra from the Ghost universe."

It's just an expulsion.

"What about Solomon? Weren't they there?"

Ark fell into deep thought. If it was just a normal Ghost, Ark would not be so worried. But if it was a Ghost with infinite souls and it failed to defeat Shidra, Ark might be more wary. But if it was a Ghost with infinite souls and Chaldea, which already possessed seven beasts and seven crowns or even some more outrageous things, facing Shidra, it could only be expelled in a situation where both sides suffered losses. Then Ark would have to think carefully.

"In the future Amiya saw, I was able to expel Shidra at the cost of being trapped in the subspace. How did I do that?"

Of course, maybe the one on the other side of the subspace at that time was not Shidra at all. Although Kuzuya Kota's current attitude clearly shows that he suspects that the evil demon mentioned by Ark who will invade the Terra continent in the future is very likely to be Shidra, but... it shouldn't be.

Ark prayed.

"Mr. Solomon and the others were there, but this involves Shidra's... should we say, characteristics? He's just like other demons, even Pattern Screamers. The more we know about him, the stronger he becomes. The more people on our side face Shidra, and the deeper our understanding of him, the stronger he will become.

And once this power is generated, it will not decline due to the fading of cognition. This is the biggest difference between Shidra and other evil demons.

Based on Shidra's power at the time, Mr. Roman initially estimated that the number of people who knew Shidra's world... should have been in the double digits."

Perhaps Shidra was also a very weak demon at the beginning, but because of his powerful characteristics different from other demons, Shidra may have started to become stronger by being recognized by a small village, and finally became even stronger by being recognized by a country, and finally known by the civilization of an entire planet, and thus possessed the power to destroy the planet.

Until now, Shidra, as described by Kuzuya Kota, may really have possessed the terrifying power that is enough to tear the universe apart.

The evil demon that tears the universe apart sounds like a heavy sense of fate.

"And among these nearly double-digit worlds, we don't know how many have been destroyed by Shidra."

Hearing this, Fang Zhou fell into silence.

In his impression, even the evil demon Cresson, who could be completely restrained by him, could evaporate the entire Terra the moment he appeared in the real world. Then, according to what Kuzuya Kota said, when the more powerful Shidra appeared in the real world, how many worlds would be annihilated into nothingness?

"Shidra..."

"We don't know where it is right now. The last time it appeared was on a lost world near Fairy Tail. According to Mr. Gerald's observations, the moment Shidra appeared, that lost world was completely annihilated. Then Shidra disappeared, and there has been no further sightings of it since."

Fang Zhou was a little annoyed.

He had come here originally hoping that even if an accident occurred when Amiya and he landed in Sammy, he could just go over and ask for off-site assistance. However, he unexpectedly learned that in this multiverse, there was a terrifying evil demon roaming around that was constantly destroying the real world.

"What do you think, Sougo?"

"Leave Him alone."

"..."

Ignore it. No, according to Sougo Tokiwa's personality, he would never allow an evil demon that could destroy the world at any time to roam around in the universe. Why?

No, I have to ask him.

This is no longer a simple problem involving Terra, it is a problem facing the entire universe!

"No need to ask me."

However, the next second after Fang Ark had this thought, Tokiwa Sougo's voice had already echoed in his mind.

He looked at Kuzuba Kota and Kimon Kaito beside him, and exchanged glances with them, letting him know that they could also hear the sound, but Shuangxing beside him showed a puzzled expression. It was obvious that Tokiwa Sougo did not want the content of their conversation to be known by the white rabbit lady.

"Shidra is a turning point in fate, and also a turning point in your story. Now the gears of history have begun to turn again."

After leaving behind a confusing sentence, Tokiwa Sougo's voice disappeared in the minds of Fang Zhou, Kuzuba Kota and Kimon Kaito. Even if Fang Zhou called Tokiwa Sougo's name again in his heart, he did not say a word.

"Damn Demon King."

Fang Zhou punched the back of the chair, and the hard earth and rocks shattered, scaring Frost Star who was standing next to him.

Why did they get angry in the middle of a conversation? Although the atmosphere had been serious, in Shuangxing's eyes, the three of them had said a lot of meaningless things before falling silent. Then Fang Zhou angrily smashed his own chair. It was a completely meaningless event.

Fang Zhou took a deep breath and then looked at the two old friends in front of him.

"I think I understand what he meant. That's why I said that time-related people are super annoying. Sougo probably knew everything after our history was edited, even our multiple endings. It's really unpleasant to feel so completely seen through."

A new stone chair was built, and Fang Zhou sat on it in a huff, with his hands folded across his chest and his fingers tapping on his elbows. It was obvious that he was in a very upset mood.

"Alright, you know the Demon King's personality. He's already quite overstepping the bounds by telling you part of the ending directly like he's doing now. At least now you should know what Shidra means to you and what it means to the world you're in."

This is a very important historical turning point.

If the wrong choice was made at this turning point, the entire history would have developed in the wrong direction. What we know now is that he and Amiya's Sammy fought Shidra, but he and his group were defeated. In the end, he and Kal'tsit had no choice but to sacrifice themselves to lock Shidra back into the stargate, buying Terra some time.

According to the timeline, this ending should be the correct one. It is precisely because of this ending that the most vicious and evil demon king was born, and finally the world moved towards the historical direction recorded in the "Demon Advent Calendar".

However, after learning of this ending, it was obvious that he would never develop the future as Amiya had seen. According to previous reasoning, he had chosen the wrong direction at the turning point, made the wrong choice, and embarked on the wrong history.

But Sougo Tokiwa told himself that the gears of history had started turning again at this moment. Thinking about the characters of these guys who could become Oma Zi-O, and the two times he had met the Demon King Rabbit in different periods, Fang Ark came to a conclusion in his mind.

"That's why people who deal with time are the most annoying."

What do these guys think of time and history?

"It seems you have your own answer, so here we are..."

"uh-huh."

"learn."

The long-standing tacit understanding made Geye Kota and Quwen Jiedou instantly understand the choice made by Fang Zhou, and both the former and the latter had a satisfied expression.

"I told you that you never let me down."

Qu Wen Jie Dou walked up and put his arm around Fang Zhou's shoulders, completely losing the look of disgust he had shown when they first met.

"That's why I said that Kaito is just an arrogant guy... Ugh!!"

boom!

Air shock rubber pistol!!!

Kuzuya Kota was lying on the ground, holding his stomach with a pale face.

"Speak up."

Qu Wen Jiedou glanced at Ge Ye Hongtai on the ground, without paying attention to the twitching eyes of Shuang Xing and Fang Zhou, but just looked back at Fang Zhou with a fiery face.

"Then we've discussed everything that needed to be discussed, and you've got the answer to the things you didn't know. It's time to fulfill your previous promise, Fang Zhou."

The silent feeling of oppression made Shuangxing tense her body. Realizing something, she quickly looked at the man beside her.

"That's fine. I'm really annoyed right now, and I'd love to find a punching bag to vent my anger on."

Standing up from the stone chair, Fang Zhou and Qu Wen Jie Dou's eyes reflected each other's figures.

"Sandbag, you're so arrogant. Who will be your sandbag?"

The Sengoku Driver was already hung on his waist, and the devil fruit lock seed shaped like a bear claw was cut open, revealing the fruit flesh pattern inside which was also in the shape of a bear claw.

A pitch-black Ark driver also appeared at Ark's waist, and he pressed the middle button.

"Paw-Paw! Lock On!"

"Ark Rise!"

"Henshin!"×2

Chapter 261 Baron vs. Ark

"Henshin!"×2

"Come On! Paw-Paw Arms! Knight of Spring!"

A devil fruit that looked exactly like the pad of a carnivore's foot emerged from above and fell on Qiwen Jiedou, who had already changed into a black undershirt.

The red and white colors are interwoven, and the Hammer Knight, with an overall sense of sacredness, stands tall on the earth.

Opposite him, the black knight had a completely opposite temperament, as if he was the embodiment of all the malice in the world. His red eyepieces reflected a scarlet light, like a scorching death ray that penetrated the hearts of all who looked at him.

"Kota, don't let Frost Star be affected."

After giving some instructions to Kuzuya Kota who was still lying on the ground like a dead dog, Fang Zhou rushed out the next second.

The iron fist wrapped in malicious waves collided directly with the meat ball. The atmosphere in between emitted a deadly scream, and the sound of breaking was deafening.

A force greater than his own was transmitted from Qu Wen Jie Dou's hand. Fang Zhou retracted his fist and dodged sideways the next moment. A black and red beam of light shot out from the pad of his flesh and went straight across the ground dozens of meters behind him.

That was the attack of the malicious energy he had just released that was bounced back by the Qiwen Jiedou.

"The meatball fruit..."

The Meat-Glob Fruit was originally a devil fruit consumed by Bartholomew Kuma, a member of the One Piece World Revolutionary Army. The user of the Meat-Glob Fruit has pads on their palms that look like bear paws, which can materialize and bounce off any object, even invisible things, so it can even spread out intangible things like fatigue, pain, and even the soul.

It was also the first Devil Fruit that Kaito obtained in the One Piece world.

The first devil fruit planted by Kuzuya Kota was planted by Shao Shao, which was also the first devil fruit locked by Ark for Frost Star.

Seeing Fang Zhou avoiding his attack, Qi Wen Jie Dou immediately waved his palm. The air was bounced away by the meat ball at high speed at this moment, and the white flash hit Fang Zhou's chest!

Pressure Cannon is the most commonly used move by Kaito Kiwa when using the Meatball Fruit. It bounces the air at a speed close to the speed of light, with enough power to easily penetrate a human body.

Fang Zhou, who was hit head-on by the pressure cannon, staggered back two steps and then stabilized his body. The next second, he disappeared in front of Qi Wen Jie Dou.

The latter immediately alerted his surroundings, but did not feel any strange air movement around him, as if the Ark had really disappeared at this moment.

"Snake charm?"

Qu Wen Jie Dou stared at the place where Fang Zhou had stood before, and without any hesitation, he fired a pressure cannon directly through the ground there.

However, unlike what he expected, Fang Zhou did not stand there invisible, but actually disappeared before his eyes.

There was no trace of the Ark in front, behind, left or right. After thinking for a moment, Qu Wen Jie Dou immediately turned his gaze to the sky. This time, he finally saw a black and red meteor falling from the sky. The burning comet tail cut through the sky, leaving a trace as if tearing the sky apart.

A huge meat ball instantly formed from his hand, blocking the Ark and Quwen Jiedou. However, the comet kick that carried the evil of this world could not be resisted by a mere meat ball.

Almost at the moment of contact with the enemy, the meat ball condensed by the Qiwen Jiedou was directly pierced by the malicious comet, and the huge malicious wave instantly spread to an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius with the Qiwen Jiedou as the center.
