Chapter 963: The Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Life!
[Buzz----]
The moment Truth left, a burning sensation suddenly came from the back of Im's left palm, and at the same time, a red light shone upwards into his eyes.
Im looked down and saw lines of crimson markings appearing on the back of his hand. In the blink of an eye, they formed the outline of a tree.
The appearance of this tree was similar to the pattern on the 'Gate of Truth' behind Truth when Im first saw him, but the one on his hand was simpler.
"Kabbalah Tree of Life."
As a transmigrator, especially a seasoned Japanese anime/manga fan, he immediately recognized the origin of this tree.
Legend says this tree is located in the center of the 'Garden of Eden', and another legend says it symbolizes the 'entire universe', is the 'path to God', and represents 'God's omnipotence'.
In short, it had an extremely high status, which is why many Japanese anime/manga works reference it.
The moment the pattern's markings were completed.
Im naturally understood what he could now do.
He lightly tapped the sofa beneath him with his finger.
The originally soft and comfortable material with red and gold markings instantly turned into a hard golden throne. Tapping it again, it turned into a cold pitch-black stone chair.
This was the so-called 'Stigma Alchemy', which disregarded elements and mass, allowing the free transformation of substance within the scope of knowledge.
Similarly, if the target were a creature, the result would be the same.
For most people, this ability was already a great weapon that meant certain death upon contact.
However, Im also understood that if one possessed strength similar to Armament Haki, they could completely resist the effect of alchemy as long as their strength was sufficient.
Nevertheless, its danger should not be ignored.
One must know that the first step of alchemy is decomposition.
This alone could cause extremely terrifying killing power.
"Can I combine this 'Stigma Alchemy' with my 'Space Ability'?"
Im sat on the stone chair, deep in thought.
But as for how to do it specifically, he had no clue yet.
However, one thing was certain: he now possessed the ability to manufacture 'Philosopher's Stone' on his own.
Given this, the 'Philosopher's Stones' in the Alchemy Kingdom of the Imperial Arms World were likely all from that seemingly kind-faced Dean Isaac.

The golden den den mushi rang. Im sighed inwardly, thinking about how many things there were today.
But this was normal.
The World Government was so vast, encompassing as many as seven worlds, and the number of citizens it ruled exceeded ten billion.
"Lord Imu, two powerful demons have appeared in the Ninja World, and Crocodile, who is facing them in battle, is not their opponent!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who oversaw the military, said with a heavy tone.
"What about Akainu and Aokiji?"
"They have already been notified to leave their team and support Crocodile at full strength, but they are not Borsalino after all. Our subordinates estimate that Sakazuki, who is closer, would still need at least a day even if he took an airship."
Just looking at the map, one could see how large the Land of Wind was.
Even adding the Land of Fire and the surrounding small countries together couldn't compare to the Land of Wind.
Furthermore, Rōran was located at the south end of the Land of Wind, practically right on the coastline.
As for Aokiji, he was departing from the Land of Water, so needless to say.
Therefore, the predicament Crocodile was facing was indeed severe.
This was also why Saint Jaygarcia Saturn specifically called Im.
Although he didn't particularly like Crocodile due to his pirate origin.
He wouldn't just stand by and watch him fall into a desperate situation.
But they truly couldn't do anything on their side and could only hope that Lord Imu could find a way.
"Understood."
Im replied indifferently, then hung up the den den mushi. The next second, he instantly appeared in the study room, while the black stone chair in the living room had, at some point, turned back into its original sofa appearance.
"This old man can only help you this much, Crocodile..."
On the other side, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn whispered softly.
To be honest, he had already prepared himself for Crocodile's death in battle.
The strength currently displayed by those two demons was already no less than Admiral level combat power.
This was equivalent to two Admiral level combat powers teaming up, which was enough to overwhelm Crocodile.
Not to mention, they didn't seem to be using their full strength.
It could be said that Crocodile's current predicament was even more difficult than when Kuzan faced the combined attack of the Divine Dragon and Heimalin in the Imperial Arms World.
At least the Divine Dragon and Heimalin had some possibility of communication.
Especially the Divine Dragon was somewhat wary of the World Government.
But these two demons showed no such possibility.
At this moment, Im had already seen the two great demons Crocodile was facing through the Star Den Den Mushi's holographic virtual image.
"So it's them..."
Im suddenly understood, recognizing the origin of these two demons at a glance.
The supreme demons from the first layer of the 'Underworld' in 'Black Clover World'.
Lilith, the Ice Devil, and Nahamah, the Fire Devil, this pair of 'Twin Devils'!
"This is troublesome. I remember that these two guys' demonic ice magic and fire devil magic can even freeze or burn away rule-based abilities. Crocodile is no match for either of them, let alone the fact that they can still..."
Im had to consider whether he should make a move at this moment.
But thinking that Sakazuki and Kuzan were rushing over, he felt that it would be enough if he could help Crocodile hold on for a while.
But how could he do it?
Im thought for a moment and finally came up with a method. Although this method was very risky, he couldn't worry about that now.
He first wrote the detailed information of Lilith and Nahamah into the 'Star Sea Den Den Mushi Network'.
Since these two guys fought until they were killed in the manga, their trump cards and weaknesses had long been exposed.
Among their weaknesses, compared to their magic abilities, their melee capability was much weaker, and they didn't have any powerful sensory ability.
Basically, as long as one could withstand or dodge their magic attack and find a way to close the distance, there was a chance to kill them.
However, saying that was one thing; actually fighting them would certainly not be that easy.
After writing the intelligence, Im sent it to Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, asking him to immediately transmit it to Sakazuki and Kuzan.
Then he took out his own golden den den mushi and called personally.
The only person who could provide timely support to Crocodile now was her.
A moment later, the golden, radiant den den mushi lowered its eyes, indicating that the call had ended.
"The Underworld, truly a strong opponent. If you don't count that Ōtsutsuki God, in some sense, they are already no less than the Otsutsuki Clan."
Im gazed at Lilith and Nahamah in the holographic virtual image and sighed inwardly.
Because the 'Underworld' in this 'Black Clover World' had a total of seven layers, each with a supreme demon presiding over it.
At the very top, there were three or four supreme demons called 'Underworld Rulers'.
The reason for saying 'or' was because the original 'Three Great Underworld Rulers' were Lucifero, the Gravity Devil, Beelzebub, the Space Devil, and Astaroth, the Time Devil.
Later, Astaroth left the Underworld, and Megicula, the Curse Devil, became the new 'Underworld Ruler'.
Among them, Lucifero was the 'Lord of the Underworld', also known by the epithet 'Satan'. As the name suggests, it should be the strongest demon.
In the manga, although this guy appeared with half his strength and was eventually killed by the protagonist who used a power-up, the sense of oppression he displayed beforehand, Im felt, was stronger than Otsutsuki Kaguya's appearance.
"Since this demonic ice and demonic fire appeared in the Ninja World, it means the timeline in 'Black Clover World' hasn't reached the 'Spade Kingdom Arc' yet..."
Im now had a feeling that his Star Gate would open to that world sooner or later.
When that happens, he would likely have to directly face the entire 'Underworld' and those four 'Underworld Rulers'.
Before that, he and the World Government must quickly improve their strength, otherwise, they could only choose to close the gate and avoid the battle.
"Speaking of which, I remember the 'Underworld' in this world is also called the 'Tree of Evil', and its manifestation is a 'Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Life'..."
Im gazed at the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life' markings on the back of his hand, obtained from Truth, and thought to himself.
