Chapter 961: The Destroyed Imu Statue!
Imperial Arms World, Noah's Ark.
"You said King Yama was very likely injured in the Ninja World Pure Land?"
Imu, who had just sat back down on the living room sofa, was quite surprised after hearing Little Enma's great news.
"Yes! Yes! Because I have a part of King Yama's power within me, I can faintly sense these things as long as I'm in the Netherworld..."
Little Enma nodded repeatedly.
Her fair, short legs swung back and forth excitedly.
"If that's the case, then Yama wasn't defeated by Otsutsuki Hamura..."
Imu didn't know if this was good news or bad news.
"Lord Imu, can we start preparing the plan we set before?"
Little Enma's gaze, full of anticipation, focused on Imu.
The latter pondered for a long time before finally answering, "According to your statement, a Lord of the Netherworld like King Yama won't truly die even if they fall in battle outside."
"Only if the opponent pursues him to the Netherworld here on the Sea Star and kills him again while he's severely injured will he be utterly annihilated and truly cease to exist."
"What if Otsutsuki Hagoromo from the Ninja World chases after him then?"
Little Enma tilted her head and said, "That is indeed possible, but judging by how long King Yama has been in a standoff with him, the gap in their strength isn't actually large. That Sage of Six Paths from the Ninja World is likely also injured, so he might not immediately attack."
Imu asked indifferently, "Even so, how do you plan to deal with Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who could attack at any time?"
"This..."
Little Enma was momentarily speechless, unable to respond.
Indeed.
Even if King Yama was successfully dealt with.
The person who would then directly face the Sage of Six Paths would be me.
"So, to take over King Yama's Netherworld influence, we still need to find a way to restrain Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
Imu was lost in thought, then raised his gaze to look at Little Enma: "You immediately return to the Sea Star Netherworld and constantly monitor King Yama's situation. If he is truly severely injured, notify me immediately!"
"Lord Imu, have you thought of a method to deal with the Sage of Six Paths?" Little Enma asked with a surprised smile.
Imu said, "Yes, no matter what, the Netherworld of the Sea Star must be controlled. This target cannot be abandoned because of one Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
"Okay, I'll go now!"
Little Enma stood up, but just as she was about to leave, she heard Lord Imu say:
"After you go back, first tell Hashirama Senju that this invasion of the Ninja World Pure Land was entirely orchestrated by King Yama alone. If he is willing to help you deal with the severely injured King Yama, you can promise him autonomy for the Ninja World Pure Land, and from then on, the Netherworld influence under the World Government will no longer invade them."
This was the method he had thought of after careful consideration.
The purpose was to have Hashirama Senju probe King Yama's true capabilities for him.
After all, even if severely injured, King Yama might still have the ability to counterattack or some hidden means.
This way, most of the risk would be borne by Hashirama Senju.
And he would only need to seize the opportunity for a decisive strike.
As for what happens if Hashirama Senju dies... tough luck!
Although Hashirama Senju was indeed a rare talent and combat power, he wasn't someone he couldn't afford to sacrifice when needed.
"As expected of Lord Imu, truly a boss!"
Little Enma clapped her hands excitedly.
Her personality was actually quite malicious, and she couldn't really be called kind.
"Oh, right, Lord Imu, what about Shimotsuki Ryuma? With his personality, he definitely won't sit idly by while we attack King Yama. After all, King Yama is a great benefactor to him!"
"Shimotsuki Ryuma..."
Imu had indeed overlooked this person.
As a Great Swordsman from Wano Island during the 'Golden Country' period hundreds of years ago.
His current swordsmanship had definitely reached the Sword Saint Realm, but as for the specifics, it was impossible to guess.
Perhaps he was on par with himself, or perhaps he had surpassed himself?
Imu thought of a method: "Have Byrnndi World go and test him. I need to personally feel Shimotsuki Ryuma's sword aura."
"Huh? Lord Imu, Byrnndi World is my strongest Netherworld General..."
Little Enma pouted, looking reluctant.
"Once Yama is dealt with, there will be even stronger combat power. What's one Byrnndi World?" Imu said with a cold laugh.
"Uh, that's true... Alright then, I'll go make the arrangement now!"
Little Enma immediately opened a purplish-black rift in mid-air and quickly disappeared into the Netherworld.
For her, compared to going through the Star Gate in the physical world.
It was faster to return to the Titan World via the 'Soul River'.
Speaking of which, the Netherworld in this Imperial Arms World was also ownerless.
After controlling the Sea Star Netherworld, she must immediately occupy this place!
Imu, meanwhile, continued to silently refine the ideas in his mind.
After all, the targets of his calculations were King Yama, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Shimotsuki Ryuma.
None of them were simple figures.
[Knock knock knock]
Just then, the door was knocked. Imu knew the visitor was Stussy with a thought.
Immediately, the two exquisite stone gates, like statues, automatically opened.
"Lord Imu, there are three urgent reports I need to make to you."
Stussy walked quickly to Imu's side, stepping in her high heels, and said respectfully.
"Speak."
"Yes, the first matter is that Heavenly Gate Holy Island was attacked by a group calling themselves the 'Free Resistance Army'. They blew up your Shrine..."
Stussy's expression was extremely grim, even ashen.
She then provided a general overview of the 'Free Resistance Army'.
Simply put, it was a terrorist organization within this Imperial Arms World, consisting of people who were extremely opposed to the World Government's rule, gathered together.
In fact, such organizations were not uncommon.
Even in the current Demon Slayer World and Titan World, similar groups were hidden in the shadows.
Among them, the resistance members in the Demon Slayer World were said to have mastered various Breathing Styles and Swordsmanship.
This made it difficult for the local police officers and soldiers in the Demon Slayer World to resist them.
However, this 'Free Resistance Army' in the Imperial Arms World also possessed some Imperial Arms and Ministerial Arms that had been lost outside, as well as a huge quantity of conventional firearms.
Coupled with domesticated various Danger Beasts, Corrupted Alchemists, and so on, their danger was far greater than the resistance forces in the previous two worlds.
This 'Heavenly Gate Holy Island Attack Incident'.
They relied on these supernatural powers to break through the outer defense line of the 'Imperial Arms World Allied Army'.
Then, like a suicide attack, they directly withstood the attack of a hundred-person squadron of the 'Holy Land Guard' inside and successfully blew up the Shrine.
Although these people were ultimately annihilated under the spear of the high-level knight who commanded the 'Holy Land Guard', it did not change the serious result of the Imu Statue inside the Shrine being destroyed.
As for the casualties of hundreds of Imperial Arms World Allied Army soldiers, such a matter was not even worth mentioning.
Instead, the more than eight hundred surviving Allied Army soldiers and military officers, as well as that high-level knight, and all the Holy Land Guard squadron knights present, would face judgment and execution due to negligence and dereliction of duty.
Regarding this judgment, even the Imperial Arms World Joint Organization Council, an affiliate member of the World Government and presided over by the three nations of The Empire, Shen He, and Alchemy, did not dare to raise a single objection.
"Is that so..."
Imu didn't get angry after hearing this, but things had to be dealt with accordingly.
"Issue an order, have Cipher Pol assist the first batch of graduates from the Celestial Dragon Holy Academy, led by Longinus, handle this matter."
Longinus, back then, he had specifically recruited him and taught him swordsmanship for a month.
Now it was time to send him out to do things.
"Yes, Lord Imu!"
Stussy carefully noted Imu's order, then began to speak about the second matter...
