Chapter 962: The Essence of Star Fate is Assimilation!
"Lord Imu, regarding CIPHER POL-7, they recently discovered three supernatural ability users in the 'Absolute Freedom Zone' of the Titan World. After capturing and interrogating one of them, it has been confirmed that they are ability users who ate wild Devil Fruits."
As Stussy said this, an expression of barely suppressed shock appeared on her beautiful face. Devil Fruit users actually appeared in an otherworld!
Even though she had seen this intelligence beforehand, it was still difficult for her to accept and understand. Aren't Devil Fruits supposed to be a specialty product of their Sea Star world?
Im was also incredibly astonished at this moment, even doubting if he had misheard. However, Stussy's expression and inner voice confirmed that this was the fact.
This was very strange.
He had stayed in the Titan World for three full years, and even traveled around on the Noah's Ark, but he had never heard of such a matter.
"Could it be a change that occurred after I left?" Im pondered in his heart.
Then he had to think about the difference between then and now.
Star Fate!
The biggest difference was that the 'Star Fate' function of the Star Map had completely covered the Titan World. However, he had always thought that this only allowed him to observe any corner of the Titan World at any time and decide whether to destroy the Titan World at any time. But now it seemed that 'Star Fate' brought more than just that.
"Have someone test the seawater composition of the Titan World!" Im suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Do you mean that not only are Devil Fruits starting to appear in the Titan World, but even the seawater is becoming the same as in the Sea Star world?!" Stussy said, covering her mouth in surprise.
"That's right. This matter will be handled by the Academy of Science, but they only need to determine the result, not investigate the cause."
"Yes, I will strictly follow your imperial will!" Stussy quickly replied. She knew that this sentence was also meant for her to hear.
At the same time, she sighed inwardly, thinking that CP7 would likely have no peace from now on.
The duty of CP7 is to monitor and collect intelligence on the otherworld member nations that have been conquered.
Among these, they also have to carry out a mission called 'eliminate order reaching city scale or above' in the 'Absolute Freedom Zone' of the Titan World.
In other words, if any organization reaches a certain level, they must send people to eliminate it, causing the situation in that area to become chaos again.
The biggest trouble with this before was the travel time.
After all, apart from the Eldians, there were no supernatural abilities in the Titan World.
So, the members of CP7 stationed in the Titan World were actually dealing with a group of ordinary people who at most held firearms in their hands.
But now, Devil Fruits were starting to appear in the Titan World...
"Stussy, can the people of the Titan World withstand the consumption generated by Devil Fruit ability?" Im remembered Kuji Kurusu from the Kabaneri World at this moment.
After that guy ate the Paramecia System Scythe-Scythe Fruit, he suffered a lot because his physique was not up to par.
The ordinary people in the Titan World are not much different from Kabaneri World people in terms of physique.
"Indeed, they cannot. According to CP7's report, the person they captured showed signs of complete exhaustion and even coughed up blood during the resistance process due to excessive use of their ability. To obtain intelligence, they had to invite the medical group from the medical academy to provide treatment."
Stussy showed a smile, a hint of disdain for those otherworlders flashing quickly in her eyes.
To be honest, she looked down on both Historia and Esdeath, considering them inferiors who only possessed the physique of Sea Star humans because of the 'Cell Enhancement Serum'.
This was also the idea of many officials and officers from the World Government who were born in the Sea Star world.
"Have them pay attention to the physique of the next few batches of infants in the Titan World. I suspect that not only is the Titan World's environment and Devil Fruits becoming like the Sea Star world, but even the physique of their descendants will be like this. Oh, and also the other creatures there!"
Im had a feeling that the essence of the Star Map's 'Star Fate' was to assimilate these otherworlds into a second Sea Star world.
Of course, the specifics would only be known after the people below conducted an on-site investigation.
But speaking of assimilation.
The Star Map can indeed fuse the worlds covered by 'Star Fate' with each other, or make one become a satellite of another 'Star Fate world'.
For example, once this Imperial Arms World is 'Star Fate covered', he can choose to fuse it with the Titan World or the Sea Star world. The satellite function is also like this.
However, the Titan World, as the World Government's frontline base camp for otherworld combat, will definitely not be fused.
To put it bluntly, the Titan World is used to prevent overly strong enemies from directly invading the Sea Star homeland. It is a world that can be abandoned by closing the star gate at any time.
So, it is impossible for it to fuse with other worlds or become a satellite.
"Yes!" Stussy responded in a deep voice, then picked up the notebook in her hand and continued, "Lord Imu, compared to the previous two, this is good news. Vice-Admiral Redfield of CIPHER POL-0 successfully found the Logia System Dark-Dark Fruit on a certain Winter Island in the New World."
"Oh?"
Im raised an eyebrow. The Dark-Dark Fruit has finally been found!
This was indeed a good thing.
Although they now have Redfield's Luck-Luck Fruit, which can control the rebirth of Devil Fruits to a certain extent, having an extra means is also good.
However, the ability of the Luck-Luck Fruit is indeed useful, especially for finding things.
He just didn't know when the Mythical Zoan Nika Fruit would be found.
It is said that the Nika Fruit, which moves according to its own will, and the Luck-Luck Fruit, which can absorb others' luck to make oneself have strong luck, feel like they will form a long-term pursuit.
But for now, he needed to think about who should be given this Dark-Dark Fruit that had been obtained.
Meanwhile, Stussy finished her report and quickly left the living room. She needed to convey Im's previous orders.
But the second Stussy closed the door.
On the single sofa opposite Im, a little white light suddenly condensed.
This instantly put him on vigilance.
Around him, dense golden lightning sword aura appeared out of thin air.
Each strand of sword aura was coated with crackling golden lightning.
"Don't be nervous, it's me, the ruler of the World Government."
At this moment, a familiar voice accompanied by a familiar figure appeared on the sofa.
A small white person with only a mouth on its face, in the form of a ten-year-old boy.
Truth!
"You can actually appear directly in front of me?"
Im relaxed slightly after seeing him, and the surrounding golden lightning sword aura also slowly disappeared.
"Of course, this is my home ground, have you forgotten?"
Truth smiled. Im thought to himself that it was indeed true.
Isn't this Imperial Arms World, or rather, the universe where this world is located, the other party's territory?
"So, you have finished absorbing the knowledge of the Kabaneri World?"
"That's right. Although most of it was duplicate information, there was indeed quite a bit of unique knowledge, especially regarding negative emotions."
Truth first sighed, then smiled again, "According to our promise, you are going to open up the knowledge of two worlds to me, right?"
"Yes, next I will open the star gate of the 'Demon Slayer World' to you. There are some interesting things in that world as well."
Im said the decision he had thought of beforehand without hesitation.
To the World Government, the Demon Slayer World is at most a 'heavy industry factory' and 'one of the main military sources for the auxiliary legion'. It wouldn't be a big deal if they lost it, so it was just right to use it to appease the other party.
"Demon Slayer World, is that the world with man-eating demons, breathing styles, and the Blue Spider Lily? That's good too, but I'd rather go to the Zero Magic World, the magic there looks very interesting."
Im's expression remained blank after hearing this.
He knew that these basic public information could not be hidden from Truth.
Even if the other party cannot enter and exit the star gate without authorization for now, they can still obtain the necessary information through the alchemists who work for the World Government.
"Our method of cooperation is for me to choose which worlds to open up to you, not for you to choose."
Im said lightly, without any concerns about the other party's identity and strength.
"Hmm, alright..."
Truth nodded with some regret.
"By the way, do I need to remind you that the condition for this second star gate was exchanged for the price of you fighting with your full strength for me once?"
Im asked.
"Of course not."
"That's good."
Im asked again, "By the way, it is said that any alchemist who sees you can become a Stigma Alchemist who doesn't need to rely on alchemy arrays, can ignore elements and mass, and freely transmute all substances. So why don't I have these abilities?"
"Are you an alchemist? Do you believe in knowledge? Do you regard equivalent exchange as truth?" Truth retorted.
Im retorted again, "I can also activate alchemy arrays, why am I not? As for the others, are they important?"
"You... Hmm, alright, alright, but let me remind you beforehand, if you don't have enough knowledge, you won't be able to reach Isaac's level."
Truth shook his head helplessly.
Im nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said, "You don't need to worry about that. I hope that after you leave, I can possess the basic ability of a Stigma Alchemist."
"No problem, you already have it now. Goodbye!"
As soon as the words fell, Truth disappeared without a trace, while the corner of Im's mouth curved slightly upwards.
What he should get, he cannot be without!
