"I have long wielded the power of ruin, and its essence is a mixture of countless negative emotions—killing intent, fighting spirit, despair... and even deeper darkness."

Wang Chong pondered, "The application of domineering aura is simply about transforming these latent emotions into momentum, fighting spirit, and a murderous intent, stimulating and condensing them through specific techniques, turning them into a visible and tangible force." (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated text.)

"This is indeed similar to some of the operating principles of the Power of Ruin, and the Power of Ruin can even be regarded as a form of Overlord and used in the same way... I see! Then, I will integrate the immense pressure I have accumulated into it—"

With this thought, an invisible, terrifying pressure that seemed capable of changing the color of heaven and earth suddenly erupted from Wang Chong's body, sweeping in all directions like a tangible storm. The originally clear sky was instantly stirred up by the invisible force, becoming dark and oppressive.

Sajou Aika, standing next to Wang Chong, suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat, as if she were being oppressed by an invisible mountain. Fortunately, Wang Chong's pressure was not directed at her, and under the protection of the crimson energy shield that the Beast of 666 quickly deployed, the heart-palpitating pressure was slightly relieved.

"Wow... His Highness's aura... suddenly became so strong, so domineering..."

Far from being afraid, Sajou Aika became even more excited by Wang Chong's increased power, her eyes shining with admiration.

"Just as the system said, although the power system of the One Piece world is not as advanced as mine, it provides new combat strategies and techniques. The way this aura is used alone has made my control over the power of destruction even more refined."

Wang Chong opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. In the past, he needed to spread a vast amount of destructive power like a spider web across the entire singularity to achieve full-area monitoring.

Now, relying solely on the advanced extension of Observation Haki—Mind Net—he can perceive even the slightest dust particle falling or the faintest change in airflow within the entire Rome Singularity in the blink of an eye.

Of course, the fundamental reason why he was able to achieve such a terrifying coverage area lies in Wang Chong's own unfathomable strength.

“The Mind Web…this is undoubtedly a perfect replacement for the Spider-Sense, and even surpasses it,” Wang Chong exclaimed.

In past battles, Wang Chong's combat intuition often relied on his passive skill, Spider Sense, which was mainly used to warn of killing intent and hostility and to predict attack trajectories.

Today's MindNet is a more proactive, comprehensive, and exponentially expanding all-around perception, giving him near-absolute insight on the battlefield.

"Next, let's try another way to use Armament Haki—Ryuo."

Wang Chong's thoughts shifted again. Suddenly, the jet-black Armament Haki that had been clinging tightly to his body became dynamic, like liquid metal with life force, instantly flowing throughout his body and forming a denser, flowing energy armor that seemed to be breathing slowly.

This armor not only provides defense, but also dissipates the impact layer by layer. Even when subjected to a powerful blow, this fluid barrier must be broken through first before Wang Chong's main body can be harmed.

"Concentrate!" Wang Chong shouted. In an instant, the flowing aura of his body, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, condensed on his fists.

The highly compressed Armament Haki energy exuded a chilling heaviness and destructive power. Its mere presence caused the surrounding space to hum as if it were about to collapse, and even the light began to distort and deform.

One can imagine that if this punch were thrown, it would be devastating!

"Finally, there is the advanced way to use Conqueror's Haki—Entangle Conqueror's Haki!"

Wang Chong's eyes narrowed. The overwhelming aura of domineering power surrounding him intertwined with his pure destructive power, like countless tiny black lightning bolts or resilient vines, wrapping around his fists, which had already condensed into flowing cherry blossoms.

At this point, Wang Chong had completely mastered the core techniques for using the three types of Haki in the One Piece world in a very short time.

"An interesting way of concentrating power... Now, let me see what kind of spectacle will unfold when this Haki combines with the power of the Devil Fruit... Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

Wang Chong focused his mind on his right fist and activated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

A blinding white halo instantly gathered and compressed on his right fist, emitting a terrifying shockwave.

"Om-"

"Snap—Snap!"

This time, the space around his fist could no longer withstand the pressure of multiple top-level forces superimposed on it, and it wailed like fragile glass, beginning to shatter inch by inch.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this little world a bit too fragile? I haven't even really thrown my punch yet, and it's already breaking down?"

Although Wang Chong made such a joking remark, the upturned corners of his mouth and the excited glint in his eyes fully revealed his satisfaction and pleasure with such destructive power.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Wang Chong immediately instructed the system to temporarily transfer all living beings in this small world to the safer Orleans small world. Only after confirming everything was in order did he truly begin to unleash the punch he had been preparing.

"Om-"

The expected deafening roar did not occur; instead, there was an extremely dull, resonant vibration that seemed to come from the depths of space.

Wang Chong's movements appeared slow and casual; he simply threw a punch into the void ahead, seemingly without any particular significance.

"Crack!"

However, a series of dense sounds, like shattering glass, suddenly erupted! Along the trajectory of Wang Chong's fist, space collapsed and disintegrated instantly, like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, turning into a deep, empty "darkness" that devoured everything.

This terrible crack was not static, but spread wildly at an alarming speed, and the speed at which the crack split and extended increased over time.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks spread like a spider web across the entire sky and earth as far as the eye could see.

The entire Roman Singularity was shaken by this irresistible force, and most of the world crumbled and fell apart in an instant!

The sky was falling, the earth was collapsing, and the ocean was splitting and overflowing. This punch directly unleashed a scene of apocalypse.

Chapter 500 Testing Skills (Part 2)

Under Wang Chong's seemingly casual yet world-destroying punch, most of the space in the Roman singularity collapsed and shattered like a fragile ice surface hit by a boulder, with a deafening yet heart-palpitating "crack" sound.

The deep, all-consuming black cracks did not stop after destroying most of the world; instead, they seemed to be endowed with a greedy life force, spreading even more violently towards the shattered fragments of space.

The spatial fragments at the edge of the crack, as if being torn apart by an invisible giant hand, flickered with an ominous light and were being absorbed and annihilated by the boundless darkness without even causing a ripple.

The spot where Wang Chong, Sajou Aika, and the Beast 666 stood was now like an isolated island in a raging storm, violently trembling and shaking. The solid ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch, and fragments of the sky fell like rain, only to disappear silently upon touching the spreading darkness.

"Waaah!"

Sajō Ayaka let out a short gasp. Even with the tangible, dark red energy barrier that the 666 Beast had fully deployed to protect her, she could still feel the destructive tremors beneath her feet and the immense tearing force caused by the imminent collapse of the spatial structure.

She instinctively crouched on the head of the 666 Beast to keep herself from losing her balance. But instead of fear, her eyes, which were fixed on Wang Chong, shone with an almost obsessive light.

"This is...this is incredible! Your Highness! Is this your new power? It's...it's like you're reshaping the world!"

Seeing such an apocalyptic scene, Sajou Aika felt no fear, but rather boundless admiration and pride for Wang Chong. Her slightly trembling voice was simply due to her excitement.

Wang Chong stood proudly in the center of this small "safe zone," as if the danger beneath his feet was not an imminent collapse, but rather the throne of his power.

He calmly gazed at the "space apocalypse" scene he had drawn himself, feeling the immense power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, enough to shake the dimensional structure, surging under his will.

The rampant, destructive cracks were, in his eyes, the most direct proof of power.

Just as much of the Roman world crumbled like a shattered mirror, fragments of space flickering with an eerie light, slowly being swallowed by the cracks, Wang Chong's gaze fell upon this scene of utter devastation. A thought flickered in his mind:

"The destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has already been proven, so... what about the Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard's core ability, with its gravity that devours everything?"

With a thought, Wang Chong's left palm suddenly turned a deep, dark black! This was no ordinary darkness, but a black hole that could completely absorb and annihilate even light!

"Dark water!"

"call--!"

As Wang Chong uttered the name of the move, an irresistible, terrifying gravitational force, like a black hole, suddenly erupted from his dark left palm!

In an instant, an invisible force field swept across the entire shattered void. Those spatial fragments that were originally floating randomly and shimmering with light were as if seized by an invisible cosmic giant hand, emitting sharp whistling sounds as they surged wildly and uncontrollably toward the "darkness" in Wang Chong's palm!

The torrent of fragments surged ceaselessly, swirling and colliding, only to be swallowed by the deep darkness.

Even more chilling is that the fragile spatial regions, which were not completely shattered but were already riddled with cracks, were torn apart and stripped away by this terrifying gravitational force, turning into new fragments that were then drawn into it.

The darkness in the palm was like a bottomless black hole abyss, greedily sucking up all the tangible and intangible matter and spatial structures around it. The suction force it generated even formed visible, inwardly spiraling and collapsing twisted ripples in the void!

Wang Chong clearly felt the heaviness and stagnation emanating from the darkness in his palm, as if it were truly dragging down the weight of the entire shattered world. He murmured with satisfaction:

"Indeed, the gravity that tears space apart and the black hole that devours everything... a power that can even pull and crush nothingness. In this light, I did underestimate the boost that this Stand has given me."

Manipulating gravity and creating vibrations are two highly valuable power systems in any combat work.

Although Wang Chong only gained the effects of the fruit's power, with the help of [Spell Sensing], he had indeed grasped the threshold of these two powers.

Even without the amplification of the fruit's power, he can continue to develop these two powers, making them even stronger and more terrifying.

"Ugh, is this yet another new power of His Highness's? Even the power of the Beast can't resist it and is being devoured. And this is without His Highness even targeting it... As expected, my Prince is the most powerful~"

Sajo Aika chanted to reinforce the 666 Beast's resistance to this gravitational pull, her heart filled with powerful admiration and love for Wang Chong.

As time passed, just as the entire Rome Singularity was about to vanish into nothingness under Wang Chong's black hole, a sudden change occurred!

hum!

A sudden hum, not originating from physical vibration but resounding directly at the level of rules, rang out. The previously rampant expansion of spatial rifts seemed to be paused, its growth abruptly halted.

Immediately afterwards, countless soft, pale golden rays, interwoven like data streams, emerged from the void without warning, precisely covering the edges of every broken crack.

These golden rays contain an ineffable restorative power; like the most skillful mender, they are "weaving" new spatial structures at an astonishing speed.

"Has the repair begun?"

As if sensing something, Wang Chong slowly withdrew his left fist, which was brimming with destructive power. The suffocating domineering aura and the purplish-black domineering energy around him receded like a tide, disappearing back into his body and returning to his usual restrained state.

Now, Wang Chong waited patiently for the space to repair itself. Under his gaze, the shattered fragments of space were drawn back to their original positions by an invisible force, as if time were flowing backward, and the cracks were quickly smoothed and mended.

The dark cracks that had been swallowing up space also faded away rapidly under the pale golden light, like ice and snow melting, revealing the newly reconstructed, intact blue sky, earth, and clouds behind it.

The entire restoration process was efficient and silent, carrying a sense of order that transcended nature and was almost formulaic.

In just a few breaths, the Roman Singularity, which was just on the verge of complete destruction, has been restored to its original state!

Sunlight streamed down again, and a gentle breeze swept across the newly sprouted grass, as if the devastating scene had never happened. Only the faint aftershocks of energy remaining in the air testified to the earth-shattering attack.

"Ding!" The system notification sounded in Wang Chong's mind at the right time, concise and affirmative: "Host, the Rome Singularity has been reconstructed according to the rules and is in a stable state."

"Just as I expected." Wang Chong's lips curled into a predictable smile, satisfied with the system's repair capabilities. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Sajō Ayaka removed the protection of the 666 Beast, feeling the ground beneath her feet become solid and stable again, her face still flushed with excitement.

She swiftly floated to Wang Chong's side, her eyes sparkling as if stars were shining, and exclaimed sincerely:

"Your Highness! The power of those two punches just now shattered the void and devoured everything; it was terrifying to even watch..."

"And this ability to instantly repair the world... it's completely on par with the gods."

Wang Chong looked at the girl beside him, who was overjoyed by his power, and felt pleased. He didn't explain that the ability to repair the world wasn't his doing; he let this wonderful "misunderstanding" continue and enjoy the girl's adoration and love in the moment.

So Wang Chong reached out and gently ruffled Sajo Aika's smooth blonde hair, feeling the cool touch of her hair.

……

After testing his skills, Wang Chong returned to the Dimensional House once again.

"Host, now that you have mastered the power of gravity, another condition for the completion of a certain task has been met."

The system notified me.

"Gravity? A mission?" Wang Chong frowned slightly, but he quickly found the mission mentioned by the system in the mission bar of the system interface.

"You mean, the Stand's advancement quest [World Beyond Heaven]? Yes, that's right. It requires acquiring gravity-related abilities and finding a special gravity point to allow the Stand to complete its first ascension."

Wang Chong nodded and said, "Moreover, after completing this task, I can further upgrade all my abilities related to mastering gravity."

"The mission reward is pretty good, but to complete this mission, you must at least complete the prerequisite missions of [36 Sinful Souls] and [The Courage to Abandon a Substitute]."

Wang Chong checked his current progress. After experiencing the Ark World, he had gained a large number of high-quality souls. Now his progress had reached 32/36, and he only needed 4 more powerful souls to complete the mission.

"I think it will be enough to harvest a few Demon God Pillars or powerful Heroic Spirits by then," Wang Chong thought to himself.

Then, Wang Chong stepped onto the stairs and finally arrived at the basement.

"Master...Master?"

A weary voice came from inside the cell, but Wang Chong remained unmoved, simply saying, "After being locked up for so long, you should have fully realized your mistakes by now, right?"

“Yes… Alaya understands… Alaya shouldn’t have instigated Master to fight Goetia ahead of time.”

Locked in the cage was none other than Little Alaya, who had been brought out of the Heavenly Punishment Space by Wang Chong.

Previously, because Wang Chong had to go to Terra World to handle some matters and it was inconvenient for him to take charge of Little Alaya, and because he was afraid that Little Alaya might do something bad again, Wang Chong temporarily imprisoned her in the basement under the pretext of reflecting on her actions.

"For the next singularity, you've already summoned a sufficiently suitable Servant, haven't you?" Wang Chong asked calmly.

"Yes, this was originally supposed to include your Atalanta and Euryale, Master. However, because of your orders, I did not activate them this time, but instead awaited your instructions."

The little Alaya spoke with great humility and respect.

Chapter 501 Summoning Hidden Dangers and Traps

"It's alright, you're allowed to call them this time."

Wang Chong's voice sounded particularly clear and steady in the enclosed air of the basement, his gaze fixed on the figure in the iron cage.

"However, their memories cannot be erased, and I must personally take them there."

Wang Chong paused briefly, then continued in an unquestionable tone:

"And this time I'm bringing more people than just them. Are you willing?"

"Yes! Yes!" Little Alaya's voice immediately rose, revealing barely suppressed excitement. She almost threw herself against the cage bars. "If more people could come to support the Singularity, we would naturally be more confident in resolving it..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Little Alaya realized his slip of the tongue. His body instinctively shrank back, and his voice instantly became fearful and humble:

"No... Alaya didn't mean that. I didn't question Master's ability to resolve singularities... Please forgive me, Master!"

"Alright, I didn't mean to blame you." Wang Chong interrupted her helpless explanation in a calm tone. With a wave of his hand, the lock on the cell door opened. "Come out and get ready to assist me in arranging things at the singularity."
