Chapter 1482: Lucifero's Order!
Esdeath awakened Conqueror's Haki.
Is that strange?
Obviously not strange. She was already the most domineering woman in the Empire Arms World.
What Imu was thinking about was... why now?
Since Esdeath had the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki, she should have awakened it earlier, logically.
Even if she needed a trigger, she should have awakened it when she encountered the demons before, after all, she had almost died there.
Could it be because of Velkhana?
Imu's gaze swept back and forth with a hint of doubt, observing the Velkhana before him that was intimidated by the Haki.
It wasn't impossible. Its attribute matched Esdeath well.
Coupled with the fact that it was an Elder Dragon, it wasn't strange for it to have some special aspects.
But it still felt far-fetched...
And there was another point.
Since Mima Amatori and Esdeath had awakened Conqueror's Haki.
What about Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Ay? Why hadn't they?
Since joining the World Government, they had many opportunities to awaken it.
Especially when they fought the Chief God in the Farmart World previously.
More recently, they had engaged in fierce battle with the Underworld Demon Gods.
Surely, they didn't lack the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki?
Even Imu himself didn't believe that.
Then, the condition that determined the awakening of Conqueror's Haki for these Otherworlders.
It must be something Mima Amatori and Esdeath had in common.
Based on this, it could be largely confirmed that it had nothing to do with Velkhana.
While watching Esdeath subdue Velkhana, Imu pondered the connection between Conqueror's Haki and Otherworlders.
Mima Amatori had awakened Conqueror's Haki during the Conquest of the Ninja World, specifically when he personally killed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Esdeath's awakening was now.
There seemed to be no common ground between the two.
But there was one factor that made Imu very concerned, and that was time.
This was mainly because the various functions of the Star Map were related to time everywhere.
One Small Stargate per year, one Star Fate coverage every three years.
"Three years..."
Imu's gaze flickered.
The Kabaneri World was conquered in 1498, and the Ninja World in 1503, nearly five years apart.
The Empire Arms World was conquered in 1501, and today is January 1505, nearly four years apart.
It seemed they were all over three years.
Of course, saying over four years might be more appropriate, but because Star Fate occurs every three years, Imu was more inclined towards the three-year mark.
Unless an Otherworlder awakens within three years later on.
He was wondering if those with better Conqueror's Haki aptitude awakened closer to the three-year mark.
That is, the time after joining the World Government.
Imu planned to make a note of this matter and make Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju a key focus, observing when they would awaken Conqueror's Haki.
If his speculation was correct, then their awakening time would definitely also be three years after they joined the World Government.
That is, 1506, which is next year.
And his own Star Fate coverage of the Ninja World would have to wait until 1507.
Because he entered here at the end of the year...
On the other side.
In the dark and terrifying Netherworld.
At this moment, all the Supreme Demons were gathered on the seventh floor, listening to Moryo and Adramelech share intelligence about the Ninja World and the World Government.
This intelligence was basically obtained through the memory of the ninja and Star Realm Army Soldiers captured on the battlefield.
Regarding the Ninja World, what was worth their importance was the current Sect Leader of the Shinobi Sect, Otsutsuki Hamura.
A figure said to have existed a thousand years ago.
Based on this, it could be speculated that his older brother, the legendary Sage of Six Paths, and their mother, the Goddess of the Rabbit, also existed.
However, the latter seemed to be sealed, so there was no need to pay too much attention.
In comparison.
The various information about the World Government greatly shocked the demons present.
A human force capable of opening Star Gates, invading various worlds, and already ruling over a dozen worlds.
"How can humans possess this ability?"
"It's too strange, are they still humans?"
"It does sound outrageous, but the fact is right before us."
"However, this World Government's Conquest of Otherworlds has been less than ten years!"
"But they eliminated Naamah and Lilith last time, and this time the Demon Gods dispatched by Moryo were annihilated..."
"Hmph, everyone knows how inflated their strength was. If they had merged earlier, it would have been impossible for humans to kill them!"
"Don't forget, Beelzebub is missing, and it happened on our territory."
"This..."
"Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that this World Government does have the ability to contend with us!"
Baal, Asmodeus, Belphegor, Lucifuge, and other demons discussed heatedly, sometimes engaging in argument.
Lucifero and Megicula merely watched quietly.
Until they had finished speaking, Megicula smiled: "Do you have any intelligence on the opponent's High-tier Combatants?"
"We have already obtained some."
Moryo, in his Demonization Form, quickly replied.
"The World Government's Army is mainly divided into the Army and the Marines, each led by a Fleet Admiral. Below the Fleet Admirals are six Admirals, referred to as the 'Highest Combat Power'!"
"When the Netherworld first invaded the Ninja World, Lilith and Naamah encountered a human who could control sand. That was the Army Admiral, Sand Crocodile!"
"It's a pity we couldn't keep him, otherwise we would definitely have more intelligence now."
"The humans who later killed Lilith and Naamah were Akainu, also an Army Admiral, and Aokiji, a Marine Admiral!"
Megicula nodded after listening: "So the humans who eliminated the Demon Gods outside the first Gate were also Admirals?"
"Uh... you could say they are similar."
Moryo carefully chose his words and explained with a cautious attitude.
"According to the memory of the captured ninja, the experts who fought us on the first level were Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Ay, Ōnoki, Rasa..."
"They were formerly the Leaders of the Ninja Villages in the Various Countries of the Ninja World, and are now High-ranking Officials of the World Government's Sea Ninja Village. Among them, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha..."
Moryo's words were somewhat lengthy, but the content was sufficiently captivating, causing the demons present to gradually fall silent.
Through this, they also came to understand what the Sea Ninja Village was, and learned that the so-called Wood Shadow, Hokage, and Raikage were of the same rank as Admirals.
"How is their strength? Much stronger than the Demon Gods?"
Lucifuge, one of the Three Pillars, the 'Darkness Demon', asked.
Moryo hesitated: "Hmm... I wouldn't say much stronger. The strongest among them, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Ay, need quite a bit of time to solve one Demon God."
"As for Ōnoki, Rasa, Uchiha Fugaku, and others, they need to team up to barely solve one Demon God..."
"Originally, there was a giant doll that could easily kill Demon Gods, but for some reason, it suddenly left."
Well, the low-level ninja and Star Realm Army Soldiers simply didn't know what Supreme Imperial Arms were.
So Moryo could only call it a 'giant doll'.
"So the previously mentioned Aokiji, Akainu, and Sand Crocodile aren't here?"
"At least so far, we haven't found any sign of them."
Just as Moryo and Lucifuge were in dialogue, Lucifero, who had been silent all along, spoke.
"Provide all known information on the Admirals and Fleet Admirals."
He actually wanted to see if there were any Space-type Ability Users among the current Admirals.
Or perhaps someone capable of infiltration into the Netherworld and defeating Beelzebub.
"Also, Adramelech, Baal, open the Gate of the Underworld on your levels as well!"
"Yes!"
"As you command!"
