Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

"When the world is a piece of digital code in my eyes, I can change the world by modifying the code; when the world is a painting in front of me, I can repaint it with my own brush; when the world is a sand castle in my eyes, I just need to push it gently..." Aizen stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the void in front of him.

The space began to collapse under Aizen's palm like a sand castle. Aizen's right hand sank deeply into the void in front of him. At the same time, segments of complex virus codes overflowed from his body and spread into the deep world along Aizen's palm.

Although under the influence of the power of the evil gods, the code viruses spread by Aizen could not survive in this deeper world, but a long-lost confident smile of control over everything appeared on Aizen's face.

"The factor that can affect the balance of the battlefield has finally appeared." Aizen whispered to himself, and at the same time slowly withdrew his right hand from the deep world. As his arm moved, a turbulent flow of data was brought up, surging and stirring in the void.

Even for the reincarnations who have been strengthened by these special devil fruits, it is still an unrealistic fantasy to want to reach the level of evil gods in strength in a short period of time. However, sometimes the true meaning of power does not lie in how much it is, but in how it is used.

Being able to interfere with or even directly influence the evil god to a certain extent is already great news for the reincarnations. Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. The combined power of the reincarnations now is enough to make the evil god look at them with suspicion.

The unusual movements of the reincarnations naturally could not hide from the eyes of the evil gods. Although to them, the reincarnations were just a group of large ants. Although they were troublesome and disgusting, they could not actually pose a threat to them. However, this does not mean that the evil gods will simply ignore the reincarnations.

Even if they are just a group of bugs, they are bugs that have been given a certain mission by Yog-Sothoth. They can look down on the reincarnations, but they can never ignore Yog-Sothoth behind the reincarnations.

Although they knew very well in their hearts that under the current circumstances, the probability of them escaping from Yog-Sothoth was not high, it could only be said that there was almost no possibility.

But the evil gods still haven't completely given up the glimmer of hope that is almost a miracle, although this obstinacy for hope is basically a helpless act under desperation, because Yog-Sothoth completely refuses to accept surrender, otherwise they would have surrendered long ago!

Out of pursuit of that glimmer of possibility, the battle that the evil gods are currently carrying out cannot be called acting, but it can only be said to have just escaped from the scope of playing house. If not for every evil god knowing it well, if there is an opportunity, they will not hesitate to turn the fake into reality and take Nyasako for themselves.

Now, let alone fighting between them, even looking at each other for a second is simply a waste of energy. As incarnations of Nyarlathotep, the relationship between them cannot be said to be brotherly, but rather stabbing each other in the back.

Now, this group of reincarnations who, right under their noses, have inexplicably obtained the tickets to participate in this battle after eating some local specialties, has sounded the alarm in their hearts and aroused a strong sense of crisis. At the same time, they have also gotten a glimpse of Yog-Sothoth's thoughts - this group of poor incarnations imprisoned in the One Piece universe are the nutrients that Yog-Sothoth uses to cultivate Nyasako and this group of reincarnations.

Why Yog-Sothoth would go to so much trouble to train a group of reincarnators who were not helpful to him at all? The incarnated evil gods who could not see the full picture of the world naturally had no idea. After all, since Yog-Sothoth stood on the opposite side of the Cthulhu pantheon, even Nyarlathotep himself found it difficult to see through Yog-Sothoth's thoughts, let alone this group of incarnations.

However, there is one thing that the avatars can figure out at this moment without any external information or reminders - that is, their previous fantasy about the slight possibility of survival was really just a delusion. In fact, there was no other ending in their future from the beginning.

The incarnations of the evil god, realizing that their only fate was death, not only did not unite to make a final death struggle, but instead had some different ideas within them.

If they understood that their fate was to become food for the evolution of the Reincarnators and Nyasana, then even if they could unite and cause huge casualties to the Reincarnators, Nyasana's evolutionary path would have many twists and turns, making it impossible for it to evolve smoothly to the next stage.

But the question is, what good does such meaningless things do to them?

For the incarnations separated from Nyarlathotep, the death of mortal life seemed meaningless. Even if they could drag many reincarnations to be buried with them at the moment of death, from the perspective of comprehensive benefits, all this was still in vain.

As for trying to interfere with Nyasako's evolution and greatly slow down her evolution, that is even more meaningless than killing the reincarnation to bury herself with him.

To them, the concept of time is even more empty than life itself. In their eyes, the passing of life and the flow of time are nothing but insignificant trivia that cannot have any substantial impact on their existence and purpose.

The only thing that has value to them now is their own existence, and nothing else.

Death and the end, this is the fate set for them by Yog-Sothoth. These incarnations know that such an ending is inevitable. Death may be late, but it will come as expected and will never be absent.

However, death takes on many different forms, and although these incarnations cannot control whether they will die, they have the ability to choose how to reach their ultimate destination, exchanging temporary death for a glimmer of hope for life. This is the thought that arises in the minds of most incarnations after they understand the essence of the matter.

"Oh, you bunch of cowards who are afraid of death. Do you really think that your little tricks can be hidden from that guy Yug?" Black Bull, one of the few who did not want to escape the fate of death, sneered at the other incarnations of the evil god and said with disdain.

"Of course it can't be hidden. It's better to say that this is what it wants to see." L'rogg, known as the "Father of Bats", didn't care about the black bull's sneer. Its mouth was full of fangs, and countless star-shaped eyes flickered and moved on its two faces. Black electricity and flames surrounded its body.

"But we never have a choice, do we?" The disgusting shadow (Aku-Shin-Kage), who looks like an ancient Japanese general, also cast a scrutinizing gaze at the group of reincarnations and said coldly.

"Do you want us to choose a stupid and worthless death like you? I thought we all jumped off the same rope, and even if there are some differences in intelligence, they are not that different. Is it your rotten horns that waste the structure that should belong to your thinking?" Kokopelli, a one-eyed, skinny man with a hunched back and a flute in his hand, sneered mercilessly at the black bull.

The Beast did not object to Black Bull's words. It directly expressed its attitude with actions. The battle intensity, which was originally not much stronger than playing house, soared under the leadership of the Beast. Black Bull, who was the noise, became the target of the evil gods' joint attack at this moment.

"What's going on?" Nayako asked in confusion. She suddenly felt the pressure around her drop sharply. If she was not mistaken, those evil gods who had originally surrounded her seemed to suddenly start a real fight and a real battle broke out, even throwing her, the original protagonist, aside.

No matter what happened between the incarnations of the evil gods, Nayako knew one thing: once you lose the opportunity, it will never come back. If you don't take this opportunity to escape, when will you? She immediately took action, taking advantage of the chaos around her and the negligence of the evil gods, and quietly fled in a direction away from the battlefield.

Chapter 312: Hundred Years' War

The power displayed by the evil gods who were really angry made the reincarnations who had originally gained confidence due to swallowing special devil fruits to once again hesitate. They decided to act cautiously and take a long-term view.

And then the reincarnations really waited for it!

As the war between the evil gods continues to escalate and become more intense, not only has the deep world of One Piece been completely shrouded in war and can no longer accommodate the existence of other living beings, but even the shackled material plane, that is, the planet under their feet and the accompanying moon, have also become victims of their war.

The survivors of the One Piece world who witnessed all this looked deathly pale, and had no idea whether they had any future at all. They were able to survive only because of the rescue of those kind-hearted reincarnations, otherwise they might not even have the chance to feel despair, and would have perished along with the shattered planet.

The struggle between the evil gods did not stop with the elimination of the Black Bull and the destruction of the planet. They seemed to have forgotten about Nyasako and the reincarnations and continued the endless fierce battle. They constantly expanded the scale of the battle, forcing the reincarnations to retreat again and again, for fear of being caught up in the aftermath of their battle.

"These bastards hit really hard, tut." A certain reincarnation who was watching the show was amazed at the battlefield of the evil gods in the distance that normal people could never peek into.

"But if they keep fighting like this, what should we do next? Can we collect enough fragments for the exchange?" Some reincarnations also expressed their concerns about the current situation. After all, the strength displayed by this group of evil gods is too terrifying. In the past, most of the missions to conquer ordinary evil gods that they participated in were eventually covered by their own bosses.

Now they are facing a group of incarnations of evil gods split from Nyarlathotep. Not only are their strength one or two levels higher than normal evil gods, their number is also extremely terrifying. They appear in large numbers in this world. The number of evil gods they have seen before combined is not as many as this time.

The most important point is that this time they don't have a clear boss behind them to support them. Having someone to back them up and having no one to back them up are two completely different feelings. For most reincarnations, the current battle situation really makes it difficult for them to feel at ease.

"What are you afraid of? The more they fight, the better the situation is for us. If we had really been confronted with this serious bunch of bastards from the beginning, we would have played football long ago and would not have had the chance to watch the show. Go eat your melon!" The previous reincarnation rolled his eyes and said unhappily, and stuffed the watermelon beside him into the second person's mouth and bet on him.

"Eat the melon if you want, but you should at least cut it before stuffing it in your mouth!" The weaker Reincarnator swallowed the whole round watermelon in his mouth and said with some complaints.

"You are so troublesome and pretentious! In the end, you still ate it, right?" The rough reincarnation said as he took out another fruit and continued to stuff it into his companion's mouth without turning his head.

"Fuck, wait, this isn't a melon, it's a durian, or it's the mutant alloy giant we encountered in the last world... Ugh!!!"

While observing the battlefield, the Reincarnations were not idle. Instead, they took advantage of the time when the evil gods had no time to focus their attention on themselves to improve and build their new abilities around the devil fruits they had just obtained, preparing for the final war after the civil war among the evil gods ended.

After successfully escaping from the center of the evil god battlefield, Nayako finally decided to temporarily trust this group of reincarnations of unknown origin after a series of careful tests, and made a plan to temporarily cooperate with them.

Compared to the reincarnations, Nyasako is the one who has gained the most and made the fastest progress in the civil war among the evil gods.

Everyone is of the same origin, and Nyarlathotep is a pure-blooded native of Nyarlathotep in another world. Therefore, for Nyarlathotep, the civil war among the evil gods is like a reference book with detailed answers. She only needs to "copy" the answers to greatly improve her mastery of her abilities.

The war among the evil gods who have no concept of time seems to have no end. Even after the last survivor of the One Piece world died of old age, the war has not stopped. Not to mention the deep space that has long become a forbidden place for the living, even the material plane of the One Piece world has already fallen for the most part.

Planets after planet turned into nothingness under the ravages of the evil gods, and galaxies after galaxies turned into chaos in the aftermath of their battles. The reincarnations finally had the qualifications to set foot on the battlefield of the evil gods without being blocked by the aftermath of the battle.

However, now that things have come to this, the reincarnations are not in a hurry to get involved. Since these evil gods are willing to fight, let them keep fighting and fight to their heart's content. Although it is not obvious, some reincarnations have keenly discovered that the aura of the evil gods seems to have dropped slightly compared to before, which means that the evil gods' condition has begun to decline.

After watching the drama for hundreds of years, the reincarnations who finally had hope instantly perked up. At the same time, they entered alert mode the moment they heard the news, always vigilant of the evil gods' every move.

Although they don't know why the evil gods are so excited about the civil war, there is at least one thing that the reincarnationists are very clear about - that is, the evil gods are not stupid. On the contrary, most of them are much smarter than ordinary life. If they think that the evil gods will really fight to the point of mutual destruction, allowing the reincarnationists to reap the benefits, then they are really stupid.

However, what the reincarnations did not expect was that this group of incarnations of evil gods held exactly the same idea!

"It's about time, we can start the second phase." The evil gods whispered in the internal communication channel, and began to restrain their breath little by little, pretending to be over-consumed and unable to continue to maintain their abilities.

The evil gods pretend that it is a civil war that results in everyone being hurt, and then the reincarnations take advantage of them. This is the simple script of the evil gods.

Although it is simple and has no gold content, the quality of a strategy is not judged by its complexity. The best strategy is the one that can achieve the greatest effect with the simplest steps.

If they rush to find the reincarnations and say, "Hey, you see, we're all going to die in the end, so let's talk about it. I'll die in your hands and leave you a way out, okay?" they will definitely be fed to the Nyasagi without mercy, and will never have a chance to make a comeback.

But if the reincarnationists can see the benefits and find a way to make further progress from them, then before the reincarnationists feed them to Nyasagi, the evil gods will have the opportunity to leave certain traces on the reincarnationists, and then they may not have no chance of appearing again in the distant future.

The civil war among the evil gods, which has lasted for hundreds of years, not only made the reincarnations think that their power was consumed too much in the infighting, but also they were carefully selecting the reincarnations they liked who had a better compatibility with themselves, and secretly planted a seed in their hearts for subsequent plans.

Even though this simple plan is fraught with difficulties if they want to proceed smoothly as they envisioned, it is the best option they can choose when they have no other choice.

A tiny possibility of resurrection in the future is what they believe to be the most tolerant condition that Yog-Sothoth can allow them. Even this bottom line is just a guess by the evil gods, but mere speculation is enough for them to implement the plan unconditionally.

After that, the war, whose outcome was undisputed, went very smoothly for all parties.

When the incarnations of the evil god's condition declined to a certain extent and were about to cease fire, the reincarnations and Nyako did not miss this opportunity and joined the battlefield at this "perfect time".

With the help of the reincarnations, Nyako, who was about to grow into her complete form, found the right opportunity to swallow alive an "unlucky" evil god, announcing the coming of a larger melee and officially breaking the balance that had been deliberately maintained on the battlefield.

The unlucky guy who was eaten alive by Nyasako was not another god, but the black bull who had originally disagreed with the majority of incarnations and stood up to express his opposition.

For these evil gods that split from Nyarlathotep, it is not easy to kill them. Even when facing siege from a large group of beings of the same status as themselves, they can resist tenaciously and not be easily defeated. Therefore, the Black Bull is naturally not that easy to kill.

And the other evil gods would not really believe that Black Bull was so courageous that he would rather die standing than gamble on the slight possibility of survival. But what Black Bull was thinking at the time was no longer important. What was important was that the evil gods needed Black Bull as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that could make the strength of the Reincarnationists and Nyako surpass theirs in public.

So the black bull, who was the focus of attention, became the first evil god of death in the true sense after being forcibly imprisoned for hundreds of years, when Nyasako and the reincarnations finally showed their fangs.

"Black bull? This guy is so chewy." Nayako was a little surprised at the type of food she put in her mouth, but then she continued to digest it without any care. Anyway, no matter what these incarnations of evil gods were planning before, the balance of victory began to tilt from the moment she ate the black bull.

Nyako, who has almost mastered the power of the Red Queen, can be counted as having the combat power of 0.9 of the evil god. Although she cannot immediately digest all of the black bull she has eaten as her own abilities, her individual strength has surpassed that of a complete and powerful evil god.

The most crucial point is that devouring other incarnations of the evil god and digesting them as her own nutrients is something that only she, who was chosen by Yog-Sothoth, can do. Baihen specially took the trouble to split the incarnations from Nyarlathotep, and he would not allow them to be reunited in the way of the big fish eating the small fish.

Afterwards, things happened just as the evil gods had planned. They spent a lot of energy on the civil war, but were defeated by Nyasagi who took the lead. In the following decades, they were defeated one by one and became food for Nyasagi's growth.

During this process, most of the evil gods also successfully left an extremely hidden and faint mark on the reincarnations they had chosen, hoping that one day in the future, they might be able to be resurrected again through this mark.

Of course, the reincarnationists did not suffer no casualties. During the decades of war, many unlucky reincarnationists died at the hands of the evil gods and became sacrifices for the evil gods to perform their shows.

This mission, which lasted for nearly two hundred years, finally came to an end after the last evil god, Fuxing Wu, was eaten by Nyako like a marshmallow.

"The taste is a bit bland, but among this group of guys, having no taste is actually an advantage. I give it nine points." While chewing on the Fuxing Mist in her mouth, Nayako gave its taste a very high score.

"This mess is finally over." The rougher-tempered reincarnator who did not become the unlucky guy sacrificed by the evil gods breathed a sigh of relief, and his heartstrings, which had been tense for hundreds of years, finally relaxed.

"I want to go back and have a good sleep, and find someone to cleanse my brain. I don't want to see the evil god again in this life." The reincarnationist who was partnering with him was in a much worse condition than him. He was an unlucky guy who was almost used as a sacrifice.

"Ah, the mission completion information finally popped up." As the Hidden Mist was completely swallowed by Nyako, the mission panel that had been silent for nearly two hundred years finally made a ding sound amid the great anticipation of the reincarnations, announcing the end of the mission.

"Go home, go home. This is the first time I've done such a long mission. I don't know how big the time flow rate difference is with the Reincarnation Square. I don't want the empire I established not long ago to be destroyed when I go back." The emperor Reincarnation of a certain world said, scratching his messy hair.

"Just be content to be able to survive such a shitty mission. At worst we can go back and rebuild an empire. If those guys hadn't been fighting for more than a century for no reason, it's hard to say how many of us would have survived." A reincarnation who was floating in space and thinking about how to retire after returning said weakly.

Even if the evil gods released a galaxy of water to allow most of the reincarnations to survive to the end, such a long and high-intensity battle would not be an easy thing for 99% of the reincarnations. Just resisting the pollution of the evil gods would make them physically and mentally exhausted.

“Why would I want to build an empire after I go back? I might as well just find a place to retire…” The Emperor Reincarnated thought about it and it was true. He had already completed his mission while still alive, so what else was there to be dissatisfied about?

After saying hello to Nyako, the Samsaras disappeared from the world of One Piece one by one and returned to the long-lost Samsara Square.

"Huh?!! You all left, but what about me? I haven't gotten on the bus yet!" Finally, Nyako, who was left in the One Piece universe by the belly, shouted in confusion.

Chapter 313 Welcome to the Dreamland

With the return of all the Reincarnators who had gone out to the One Piece world, the largest mission since the birth of the Reincarnator Plaza - [Recruitment Mission: Shadow of Chaos] was also officially announced to be over.

More than two hundred years have passed in the world of One Piece, while exactly one week has passed in the Samsara Square. This made a certain Samsara who was thinking of retiring directly after his empire was destroyed frown, and he wondered whether he should just find an excuse to slip away.

After the reincarnationists complete their mission, what awaits them is naturally the mission reward. The fragments for exchanging evil god materials are also directly distributed to them based on the contribution of each reincarnationist.

Through cooperation and transactions with other Reincarnations before the mission began, as well as rescuing a certain Reincarnation from the evil god during the mission, Aizen successfully collected five pieces of evil god material exchange fragments and exchanged them for the evil god material he had long coveted - the Touch of Azhora Tower.

Aizen didn't have much hesitation when choosing these evil god materials, nor did he choose them carefully. After all, most of them were new to him, let alone familiar to him, and he had never even heard of them, so he basically just opened a blind box.

However, Aizen had nothing to worry about. If it were in the One Piece world, he would have to carefully consider what kind of evil god material to exchange. He might even spend a lot of time finding an evil god material that was more suitable for him, only to find that someone else had already got there first.

After eating the enhanced devil fruit in the world of One Piece, the road ahead for Aizen has been opened. His need for the origin of the evil god is no longer as urgent as before the mission began. The reason why he continues to exchange for the evil god material is only as a reference and to verify his own guesses.

After Aizen made the exchange decision, the evil god material called "Touch of Azhora Tower" slowly appeared before his eyes surrounded by a pink halo.

Aizen turned a blind eye to the pink halo full of girlishness. All the Samsaras had long been accustomed to the inappropriate behavior that always appeared in the Samsara Square. Anyway, no amount of complaints could change it, so it was better to change themselves and get used to it.

"This inexplicable throbbing in my heart is..." Aizen looked at the Touch of Azhora Tower, whose shape could not be observed hidden under the pink halo, and was confused. He wondered when he had become involved with this evil god named Azhora Tower.

However, even though Aizen searched his memory storage module thoroughly tens of thousands of times, he could not find any possible intersection between himself and Azhora Tower. But the instinctive resonance from the depths of his soul could not be faked, and Aizen was sure that it was calling him.

Even if this becomes material, the status of the evil god Azhora Tower is still higher than his own. Aizen's [My Past Self] cannot function normally and cannot allow his past self to take the lead and step onto the minefield.

"Should I give up?" This thought flashed through Aizen's mind. For him now, taking unknown risks to use this extremely suspicious evil god material was obviously a matter of disproportionate benefits and risks, and there was no cost-effectiveness at all.

"Or should we wait until others have used it first, and then make a judgement based on the situation..." Aizen looked at the Azhora Tower's Touch in front of him and fell into deep thought, the computing module in his body was performing calculations for the future at full power.

"Forget it, will I really give up this treasure that I got with great difficulty?" After thinking for a long time and still unable to come to a conclusion, Aizen suddenly laughed at himself, and then stretched out his hand towards the pink halo without hesitation, touching the tentacles from the evil god Azhora Tower.

It was as if the original power from the evil god was naturally highly compatible with Aizen, as if they were one. Aizen did not encounter any resistance and directly merged with the Touch of Azhora Tower, and smoothly transformed the original power contained in it into a part of himself. This process was as natural as water coming into being.

"Is this, our mission rewards were castrated and given to us in advance, and then we were asked to carry out the mission?" After the Touch of Azhora Tower became a part of himself, Aizen finally understood where the inexplicable throbbing came from, and why those devil fruits that should have been ordinary had such powerful powers.

There is only one reason - they themselves are part of the evil god's origin!

"Could it be that all the reincarnations who ate the devil fruit this time were paid in advance for future rewards? Then, did those dead reincarnations lose the right to survive because they were unable to collect five pieces of the evil god's materials in the future?" Aizen speculated.

All the reincarnations who have participated in the One Piece world mission before have, without exception, eaten a devil fruit of their own, and have eaten one. No one has tried to eat more fruits by relying on their own abilities or the specialness of their body or race. The unusualness of the devil fruit and the understanding of their own life and death have made everyone abide by the rule of one person, one fruit.

If each devil fruit represents an incomplete origin of the evil god, then everything makes sense - because they, the reincarnations, are unable to accommodate the origins from different evil gods, even if they are incomplete origins that have been castrated.

The source of power for these special edition devil fruits is the evil god materials that they will eventually exchange and use, so in the future, any reincarnation who can collect five pieces of evil god material fragments can leave the One Piece world alive with his gains.

In the future, those reincarnations who are unable to collect the five fragments of the evil god's materials but have enjoyed the evil god's origin in advance will die in the mission and return the evil god's origin they have eaten to its original owner. This is the speculation made by Aizen from his own perspective.

However, for this speculation without any evidence, Aizen did not think that things would necessarily develop according to the results he calculated. But the ability of the master behind the Samsara Square to play with time and cause and effect to such an extent still made Aizen subconsciously make malicious speculations.

"However, now the door to my next stage has been opened, and the road ahead is smooth." Aizen looked at the new self with satisfaction.

The door to the next stage, which had originally appeared hazily in front of him because of the power of the devil fruit that contained part of the evil god's origin, has now been completely opened in front of Aizen. Behind that door, a whole new world is waiting for Aizen's arrival.

A tremendous force surged in Aizen's body, and growth seemed to have suddenly become such a simple thing. Aizen felt countless intricate threads lingering around him, which came from the heavens and all the worlds, all the causes and effects that he could interfere with.

"The Holy Grail War... Now I can also hold such a ceremony. No, I can do better!" The expansion of power reminded Aizen of the Holy Grail War, which changed the trajectory of his life and made him officially embark on the journey to the sea of stars.

The great power that once seemed out of reach is now within Aizen's reach. Aizen had fantasized that this day would eventually come, but he had not expected that because of the Samsara Square, this day would come sooner than he had ever imagined, and much sooner.

Aizen followed the complicated thread of cause and effect and began to look back on his past. He tried to use himself as an anchor and go deeper into the distant past step by step to find the real organizer behind the Holy Grail War - the mysterious god whom he first met but had never actually seen.
