Chapter 2083 The War of the Gods, the Descent of the Era of Great Gods; The God of Earth and the God of the Forest
Ace single-handedly fought against the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Although he had not yet reached the Six Paths realm, he possessed power comparable to the Four Emperors. Coupled with various ninjutsu and the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was not injured.
He even left his father some medicines that could treat his injuries and slow down his physical decline.
An ordinary group owner commented: "Whitebeard really did show mercy."
The ordinary group owner said: "After all, Thatch didn't really die. He hasn't experienced the pain of his son's death, nor has he experienced your capture by Teach and public execution by the Navy, or your death in the Battle of Marineford. It's normal that he would feel reluctant."
Su Yunqing was not surprised that Whitebeard in the Ace world could not bear to attack Blackbeard.
After all, he had no idea what kind of chain reaction would occur after Sachi's death and Teach took the Dark-Dark Fruit.
It's perfectly normal for him to feel sorry for Teach when his son is crying and full of remorse.
The richest man in the city said: "Without experiencing loss, one cannot know the pain and murderous intent."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "But you must have discovered more than just this, right? @Ace"
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "The truth about the Knights of God, the Valley of the Gods incident, and Teach's background, while indeed shocking, are not worth sharing so solemnly."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "There must be something even more revolutionary that you haven't revealed yet, right?"
Tony asked Ace.
While these things were certainly shocking, they shouldn't have been enough to make Ace react like that.
Ace did not deny it.
Compared to what he's about to say, these are really just appetizers.
Ace: "That's true."
Ace: "Based on the forbidden documents I consulted at the World Government, as well as the information and murals I deciphered from the stone tablets left over from the Void Century, there were four beings in this world who were revered as 'gods' in ancient times."
Ace: "One of them is Nika, the sun god, who symbolizes freedom and liberation and is a warrior who brings laughter and liberation to the world."
Ace: "The other three are the 'God of Earth,' the 'God of Forest,' and the 'God of Rain.' The records about the 'God of Earth' and the 'God of Forest' are rather vague, with only a few words mentioning that they are related to nature and life."
Ace: "There aren't many documents about the 'God of Rain,' but there's one sentence that's been repeatedly mentioned and marked with the sternest warning tone."
Ace: "'The God of Rain' is the Celestial Dragons' greatest fear."
Although I don't know why it's labeled this way, or what abilities the "God of Rain" has, there must be a reason for recording it this way.
The ordinary group owner: "???"
The richest man in the lighthouse: "???"
Kazuma and the human-headed dog: "???"
The Sun God Nika and the others know that Luffy's Devil Fruit is the Nika Fruit; but what the heck are the "Earth God," "Forest God," and "Rain God"?
And the "God of Rain" is "the Celestial Dragons' greatest fear"?
What about "Nikka the Sun God"?
Before Su Yunqing and the others could react, they heard the chat group's notifications.
"Ding, group member [The Ancient Godslayer] has left the virtual battle arena. The battle has ended."
The oldest god-killer: "???"
Marquis Voban saw the information about the "gods" that Ace had mentioned and became very interested in them.
Kasumi Shiko: "???"
Qianwumei Xiaomi: "???"
Boil Daigo into soup: "???"
Kasumigaoka Utaha, Umaru, and Daigo also raised question marks, but their question marks were clearly not about the four ancient gods that Ace mentioned, but about Marquis Voban.
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Wait, Marquis, you just quit the virtual battle arena?"
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Is it because it involves 'god'?"
Xiaomai was somewhat incredulous. Although she knew the allure of gods to marquises, she hadn't expected to withdraw directly from the virtual battle arena.
What? You're asking why it couldn't be that his battle with Loki ended, which is why he left the virtual battle arena?
It might be possible for others, but for the Marquis and Loki to decide a winner, it's not something that can be done in such a short time.
The oldest god-slayer: "Ha, how can a mere Loki compare to the message of a god?"
The oldest god-slayer: "Does killing him grant me power?"
The oldest god-slayer: "Just the four ancient gods? There are gods in the world of One Piece?"
The oldest god-slayer: "Is he a true god, or like the sun god Nika, a so-called Devil Fruit?"
Voban was 100% sensitive to information about "God".
When Ace suddenly mentioned the existence of "ancient gods" in his world, how could Marquis Voban not notice?
I immediately exited the virtual battle arena.
The battle with Loki could continue at any time, but he didn't want to miss a single second of information related to the gods.
It's just unknown whether these so-called ancient four gods are real deities or Devil Fruits like the Sun God Nika Fruit.
Or perhaps they existed in the past, but for some reason, they were transformed into Devil Fruits.
Ace: "I don't know about that. They might have been real gods in the past, but now they've turned into four Devil Fruits."
Ace: "Just like Luffy's Nika Fruit."
Ace was also unsure about this, as there was no corresponding information in the records.
An ordinary group admin: "So what is this? The era of the great gods?"
An ordinary group owner said: "I suddenly remembered that before I transmigrated, a lot of people joked about Luffy's family background. Now that Teach is Rocks' son, Zoro and Nami's family backgrounds seem to be quite complicated as well."
An ordinary group admin: "The era of relying on family connections isn't even over yet, and the era of powerful figures has already arrived?"
An ordinary group admin: "If those four gods really are four Devil Fruits, then Im wouldn't have originally been a god, right?"
An ordinary group owner: "Only the four great gods can contend with Im? Is the sun god Nika not enough?"
Su Yunqing looked puzzled. She remembered the transmigrator who had transmigrated into Im and carried the "Devil Fruit Tree".
What was his strength at that time? Was he a planet-destroying or super-destroying planet? Anyway, he was very strong.
She originally thought that the accumulation of so many Devil Fruits on the "Devil Fruit Tree" gave him such great strength, but if Im was also some kind of "god", the "Devil Fruit Tree" probably didn't really have that much of an effect on him.
Or rather, his strength lies somewhere between the Earth's surface and a planetary explosion.
Although Im was already a powerful figure who surpassed the Admirals, the Four Emperors, and even the Pirate King before, now he seems to be on a completely different level.
The Great King of Asgard: "Fuck! @The Ancient Godslayer, why did you suddenly leave the virtual battle arena?"
The Great King of Asgard: "Our battle is not over yet."
The Great King of Asgard: "Are you afraid of my victory? You coward who runs away from the battlefield!"
Loki's face was dark with anger. He had finally managed to provoke Marquis Voban into a battle in the virtual arena, intending to avenge his previous defeat, but the guy had simply abandoned the fight and run away.
The battle isn't over yet!
After finishing his rant, Loki quickly glanced at the previous chat history and instantly understood the reason.
But this did not quell his anger; instead, it added to his frustration.
It was for such a "boring" reason?
The Great King of Asgard: "Fuck! Just because he saw some of the Four Gods of the pirate world that Ace mentioned?!"
The Great King of Asgard: "What does this have to do with you? Are you going to go to his world and kill those gods?"
Let alone the fact that those "gods" might not even exist, and they're just four "god-level" Devil Fruits, even if they do exist, so what? What does that have to do with Marquis Voban?
Does he want to go to Ace's world and kill those four gods?
Even if those four gods exist, they're benevolent gods. Would Ace allow Marquis Voban to kill them?
The oldest god-slayer: "What does this have to do with you? I can end it whenever I want."
Marquis Voban snorted coldly upon seeing Loki's words.
It was just a battle; such a thing was far less important than the information about a world where "gods" might exist.
So what if he can't go to Ace's world to kill those gods? It has nothing to do with Loki.
The Great King of Asgard: "You're just afraid of defeat, don't make up so many excuses for yourself." Loki also sneered and said to Marquis Voban.
The oldest god-slayer: "Ha, so you just want revenge."
Marquis Voban was a shrewd man; just by reading Loki's words, he knew why he was so angry.
Loki still can't forget the battles and taunts he suffered in the past, and now that he's stronger, he wants to regain his pride.
The oldest god-slayer: "Do you think that by defeating me this time, you can wash away your past defeats?"
The oldest god-slayer: "Let me tell you, you'll never be able to clear your name!"
The oldest god-slayer: "And I might not necessarily lose."
Even if Loki gains insights and increases his strength through the [Enlightenment Function] by using the points he earned in the war, so what?
The enhancement he received from his 3 billion points back then was equally impressive, demonstrating his solid foundation.
He didn't think he would lose to Loki.
The Great King of Asgard: "Heh, stop flattering yourself."
The Great King of Asgard: "Those who don't even have any points will eventually be overtaken by many more people."
Loki laughed in anger upon seeing Marquis Voban's words.
This old guy, who hasn't earned any points in ages, is still telling jokes.
Are you really treating that 3 billion points you got back then as permanent?
They might not even lose? Do they really think he wasted the points he used on the [Enlightenment Function]?
And so what if he refuses to fight now?
Without the points to strengthen him, how long can he hold on relying solely on the foundation he accumulated last time?
In the ever-evolving environment of chat groups, standing still or making slow progress is regression, which means being overtaken.
This statement clearly struck a nerve with the Marquis of Voban, even enraging him.
The oldest god-slayer: "Fine, since you don't believe me, then I'll let you witness firsthand the difference between us."
"Ding, group member [The Ancient Godslayer] has activated the virtual battle arena."
The Great King of Asgard: "Let's save the jokes for after the battle."
The Great King of Asgard: "Oh, I forgot, you'll be the laughingstock then."
"Ding! Group member [The Great King of Asgard] has entered the virtual battle arena."
Almost the instant the chat notification sounded, Loki quickly mocked Marquis Voban in the chat group, then rushed in, fearing that Marquis Voban might change his mind.
An ordinary group owner: "."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "."
Boil Daigo into soup: "."
A series of ellipses expressed the speechless feelings of Su Yunqing, Tony, and Daigo.
Are they elementary school students? They argue like chicks pecking at each other, it's unbelievable.
An ordinary group admin: "@Ace, forget it, ignore them and keep talking."
Su Yunqing shook her head, bringing the topic back on track.
Let Marquis Voban and Loki play by themselves. Whether they win or lose, it doesn't matter. I don't know why they care so much.
She's more concerned with things related to God now.
An ordinary group admin: "Besides these four gods, is there any information about Im?"
An ordinary group owner said: "Since Im is the villain, then his existence must be related to these gods."
An ordinary group owner: "Or he himself is a god."
Although Im from the world of Ace is dead, they still do not know Im's true nature.
As the most deeply hidden ruler in the pirate world, who has controlled the World Government for eight hundred years and whose name is even taboo, his true identity is the core of all the mysteries.
Since gods exist in the world of One Piece, and considering that "only gods can fight against gods," Im himself might be a god.
Ace shook his head when he saw Su Yunqing's words.
Ace: "There are almost no direct records about Im; the name 'Im' itself is blank in most documents, as if it has been deliberately erased."
Ace: "However, combining the legends of the four great gods with some clues from around the time of the Void Century, there are a few speculations, or rather, conjectures."
Ace: "First, regarding the 'God of Rain.' The documents repeatedly emphasize that it is 'the Celestial Dragons' greatest fear.' And the Celestial Dragons claim to be 'descendants of the Creator,' the 'gods' of the world."
Ace: "A 'god' whom they regard as their 'greatest fear' is itself extremely unusual."
Ace: "There may be many sources of fear, but the most direct guess is absolute restraint in terms of power, or complete opposition in terms of ideas and the meaning of existence."
Rain often symbolizes nourishment, life, and purification, but it can also represent washing and cleansing.
Considering the Celestial Dragons' fear and purge of the "D" clan, and their taboo against the "enemy of the gods," it's hard not to think of this "God of Rain."
Ace: "Secondly, regarding Im's relationship with these 'gods,' there is no evidence that Im is one of them."
Ace: "But in the very few forbidden texts that mention the 'Eternal King,' it is cryptically written that the one who sits on the throne will have the authority to 'judge' and 'define.'"
