Chapter 1481: Esdeath's Conqueror's Haki!
After meeting with Im, Teresa, accompanied by Yama, toured the Sea Star Underworld. When she learned that the Giant Underworld and the Imperial Arms Underworld had been merged, and personally witnessed the vastly different environments of the two regions, her mind was once again subjected to an indescribably strong shock. Only then did she realize that the Underworld could be artificially merged! But what kind of great divine power was needed to achieve this? She had originally thought that being able to resurrect the dead of a city was already a miracle. Now, it seemed completely insignificant. This made Teresa feel even more awe towards Im, and she returned to the Claymore Underworld with this feeling.
She planned to suggest to the Will of the Underworld to transfer the Lord of the Underworld position to Luciela, whose Yoki Power had just been purified by her, returning her to a normal soul. Because Luciela was not only the Number 1 Claymore Warrior during her lifetime, but after awakening, she was also the 'Abyssal One' who occupied the Southern Land for decades. Whether in terms of qualifications, ability, or strength, she was sufficient to convince the Claymore Warriors of the Underworld. She could be said to be the person with the most hope of being accepted by the Will of the Underworld. Because the Will of the Underworld has always valued the most outstanding individuals, besides herself, that would now be Luciela.
However, Luciela's authority wouldn't be much greater. After all, she still had to accept the jurisdiction of Yama and obey the order of the World Government Yama Court.
In the following days, the situation on all sides remained stable.
Sea Star Mainland.
Marine Headquarters was still busy intercepting space pirates arriving or attempting to escape. The Ministry of Industry, which had just been promoted from bureau-level to ministry-level, was seizing the time to manufacture its own space warships. The Academy of Science's research projects were seemingly endless. Vegapunk, Doctor Stylish, Lindbergh, Franky, Einstein, and Tesla were all swamped with work. But their work produced one technology after another for the World Government. At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Department secretly contacted Sea Star, sharing intelligence and technology.
Regarding the Nuclear World.
The bombing of the insect swarm proceeded as planned, collecting insect corpses, dissecting them for research, and the biochemical research field was booming. Every nation was mobilizing a large number of researchers. They strove to be the first to obtain new technology and new materials from the bug beasts. For this, some even suggested slowing down the bombing intensity to avoid killing too many, which would result in a lack of materials later.
Regarding the Beast God World.
The Patria Republic, with Cain Madhevis as president, officially declared war on the Gracia Kingdom, which occupied the Old Continent across the sea. One hundred thousand vanguard units had already sailed out of the port aboard battleships, spreading out in a grand formation across the vast ocean. Following them were fifty thousand regular army troops, reorganized after two rounds of screening out the old and weak. As well as an ace unit composed of seven hundred mimic divine soldiers and ten thousand new army troops equipped with Rakshasa Nation modern weapons. The Gracia Kingdom, which originally possessed ironclad ships, would not have allowed them to cross the sea so easily. However, under the repeated bombing by the Third Carrier Battle Group commanded by Star Realm Army Navy Colonel Karl Dönitz, all of the Gracia Kingdom's military ports, warships, and even the island bases deployed on the sea, had been completely eliminated. So, they could only 'quietly wait' for the Patria Republic's great army to arrive. Any resistance could only take place on their own land. And the help the Star Realm Army stationed in the Beast God World could provide was limited to this. The Patria Republic must now unify the continent and the world on its own. This was actually a requirement emphasized by Cain himself, and it received the approval of Minister Irawan of the World Government Branch. Minister Irawan thought Cain was doing this for national self-esteem and confidence. Therefore, he was willing to pay a greater sacrifice to insist on defeating the Gracia Kingdom with their own hands. But Cain's true purpose was actually to prevent the Star Realm Army from interfering with his bloody plan.
Finally, regarding the Ninja World.
With the successive elimination of the demon gods, although a large number of demons were still emerging, the pressure was no longer as great. Not only because Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Ay, Nine-Tails, and Eight-Tails were now free to sweep away large areas of demons, but also because of the fixed magic arrays set up by mages like Lelei, Magnus, Cato, and Mimochaz. These arrays could provide high efficiency enchantment for the ammunition of the Star Realm Sixth Army Group under Vice Admiral Frangel. Dragon blood from the Familiar of Zero World was also being continuously transported to Rouran of the Ninja World. Before the Ninja World War ends, or until a substitute is found, these magic side flying dragons can only continue to donate blood. Even the Albion Kingdom, the only nation in the Familiar of Zero World, had no opinion on this. They even sent personnel to help capture and breed these blood-supplying demonic dragons. They also proactively collected the blood and handed it over to the Mage Association members who came to receive it. Of course, the Mage Association would also pay an equivalent Berry reward.
However, in Im's view, the current stability in the Ninja World was merely the calm before the storm. He did not believe that the demons of the Netherworld Government would be indifferent to Beelzebub's disappearance. Fortunately, Otsutsuki Kaguya had already been resurrected in the Ninja World. Aramaki had also led his Fourth Main Battle Legion to station there, so he shouldn't need to intervene again in the short term. Unless Lucifero appeared with his full strength, or all supreme demons were dispatched.
And now, Im was in the study room, watching the process of subduing the Velkhana on the Frozen Soil Continent in the Imperial Arms World through a holographic virtual image. The combat scene was spectacular, with storm and ice raging across the entire area. The Velkhana's roar, full of anger, was also extremely penetrating. Every swing of its dragon claws was enough to shatter the frozen ground. However, facing Esdeath in her 'Kirin Fruit Human-Beast Form', it still seemed somewhat powerless. The Velkhana's most powerful weapons, control over cold air and low-temperature breath attack, were almost completely ineffective against Esdeath. In fact, Esdeath was even more proficient in this regard. Of course, conversely, many of her ice techniques also had little effect on the Velkhana. So, the contest between the two sides was their respective melee combat strength.
The Velkhana was an Elder Dragon, and its dragon body was naturally powerful. But Esdeath, after several years of cultivation in the Star Pressure Palace, her swordsmanship, martial arts, and Haki were equally not to be underestimated. Coupled with the various enhancements the Kirin Fruit provided to her body, this gave her the terrifying strength to suppress the Velkhana with her bare hands! A punch infused with Haki could smash the Velkhana's head heavily into the frozen earth, causing it to let out a mournful wail.
[Bang!] Esdeath stepped on the side of the Velkhana's face, her cold eyes fixed on its rage-filled dragon eyes, and she roared sternly.
"You're defeated!" "It is natural law for the weak to submit to the strong, it is only right and proper! From today onwards, you are the servant, and I am the master!"
"Roar————" The Velkhana could certainly understand, but this only made it more angry. It released all its emotion through its roar in response to Esdeath's words. *You wish! You are not worthy to be my master!* it thought. *Defeated means becoming the opponent's servant? There were not a few Elder Dragons I haven't fought in my life. Do I have to recognize all of them as masters? How ridiculous, I just need to flap my wings and move somewhere else!*
Esdeath, understanding the Velkhana's idea, slightly narrowed her azure phoenix eyes. The next moment, with a loud 'boom', Esdeath suddenly erupted with a surging aura carrying a faint blue light and streaks of black and red lightning, sweeping away all the surrounding wind, snow, and frost. And the Velkhana, directly facing this aura, its pupils instantly constricted into pinpricks, and its body, which had been attempting to struggle, instantly stiffened. At this moment, its mind, consciousness, and spirit were undergoing a complete impact. An uncontrollable fear surged from its heart like a tide.
"This is..." Im, in the study room, was very surprised to see this scene. Conqueror's Haki? He hadn't expected that after Mima Amatori, the second otherworlder to awaken Conqueror's Haki would be her!
