There was nothing more shocking than the sight of the three Kings changing the celestial phenomenon simultaneously.
Everyone was immersed in this epic moment.
That terrifying aura was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Grum Clan members.
They were not particularly resistant to the savior in the first place.
Now, it was even harder to hide the reverence in their hearts.
Wasn't it a fortunate thing for them to submit to such a great family?
The thought imprint placed by Dexiu had already begun to take effect at this moment.
Today was undoubtedly a historical moment for them.
Their hearts couldn't help but beat faster; all of them were nervous.
The sun's light fell on the Grum Clan Chief.
He raised his head, closed his eyes, as if he had already accepted death.
At that moment, he couldn't help but raise his arm, blocking his eyes, trying to shield himself from the incoming light.
Bathed in the sunlight, his body felt intensely uncomfortable, wanting to leave and hide in a place without sunlight.
However, no matter how uncomfortable the feeling, it couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
His body trembled with excitement.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Regardless, the thousand-year-long curse had been lifted.
They would no longer die from being exposed to the sun.
They were free.
Everyone watched the Patriarch.
With eyes full of expectation and excitement, he came to the boundary between sunlight and shade and stretched out his hand.
As his body touched the sunlight, the discomfort made him instinctively pull his hand back.
But nothing happened.
In the past, once exposed to sunlight, his outstretched arm would have been crippled, or even "vanished," decomposed.
It wouldn't be like this, completely unharmed.
It was as if he was playing with a toy, constantly reaching out and pulling back, constantly testing.
Finally, someone bolder stepped forward and bathed in the sunlight like the Patriarch.
Soon, they retreated.
Their bodies felt a sense of aversion towards the sunlight; this was their instinct.
"You have stayed in the darkness for too long, and your bodies have adapted to the darkness. The first time you come into contact with sunlight, your bodies will instinctively be uncomfortable, even resistant and averse."
"In short, your curse has been lifted, and there is no longer the threat of sunlight. You can live normally."
"Since you prefer to stay in the shade, there's no need to deliberately change your habits."
Jörmungandr saw this and explained calmly.
"If there's anything else you need to take, do it quickly. The kingdom will arrange a special residence for you next, so you can integrate into the kingdom as soon as possible."
It would take a considerable amount of time for the Grum Clan to fully integrate into the Kronos Kingdom.
However, the kingdom already had complete measures in place.
What they needed most was to understand the situation on The Great Sea and adapt to their new life.
There were many things they didn't know, too many things they needed to learn, understand, and change their perception of.
The kingdom was not in a hurry about this; there was plenty of time.
What they needed most was the Grum Clan's force, their talent in assassination and intelligence.
The kingdom also had some interest in the Ruins on Night Island.
Perhaps they could find relevant data about the curse fruit user from back then, or even some leftover items.
It could also serve as a training Stronghold.
After finishing all this, Dexiu turned and left.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Jörmungandr."
As the Underworld Commander-in-Chief, he had quite a lot of matters to handle.
Moreover, his gain was also considerable.
Through the curse power left behind by the "Senior," he had felt what the ultimate power of the curse fruit looked like.
This would be of great help to the future development of his ability.
Although the Grum Clan's strength would significantly enhance You Ming.
However, it still required sufficient time to cultivate.
"Well, I'm leaving too."
Kazu didn't want to stay longer either.
For him, returning to the kingdom could be done at any time, as Jörmungandr was there.
However, he still had his own travel.
Over the years, he had experienced various islands, seen countless special creatures, and collected a large amount of precious genes and cells.
These were his foundation.
He would also collect the blood of powerful zoan devil fruit users, including "\"Tyrant Dragon\" Zack".
Of course, the most important Treasure Land for him was Monster Paradise.
He had been there once when he first started out.
After so many years, there should be many new and peculiar creatures.
He had a dedicated clone hidden in Monster Paradise to help him collect blood and also gather relevant intelligence.
Those powerful creatures, special creatures that had undergone mutation evolution, and even humans, were his future targets.
When he returned to the New World, it would be time for harvest.
"What are you planning to do next?"
Jörmungandr asked with some curiosity.
Kazu stopped when he heard this.
"I have some interest in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Among the prizes is an ancient species - gu diao fruit. I'll win the champion and get my hands on it."
"Oh? By yourself? The rules of the World Martial Arts Tournament are a bit interesting. The owner of each invitation letter can invite two people as their companions, or go alone."
"The earlier elimination rounds are melee battles. You can team up, but you need to defeat two groups and plunder two invitation letters. Those with three invitation letters can enter the next round."
"After that are the gauntlet matches. Having more people is an advantage."
Jörmungandr reminded him with a smile.
He was quite fond of watching the World Martial Arts Tournament and paid attention to it secretly.
After all, watching too many battles in the Sky Arena, changing the taste was quite interesting.
"So I won't be alone. Aren't there some here?"
Kazu glanced at the Grum Clan members.
Wandering The Great Sea alone was a bit lonely.
Having one or two subordinates made things more convenient.
Although he had absolute confidence in his strength, he didn't want to expose too much of his power.
An ancient zoan devil fruit had enough value for him to make a move.
After all, this was something the "\"Loan Shark King\"", Du Feld, had specifically put out.
Devil fruits were rare assets.
Although other Factions had them, they wouldn't take out anything too precious.
Even Rugal, as the master of Dark Fighting Island, had a few devil fruits circulating on the Island over the years, but they were either eaten by his Subordinates or taken by Ignis.
Passing by the excited Grum Clan members, his gaze fell on two young warriors.
"You two, come with me."
Since arriving on Night Island, these two young warriors had left a relatively deep impression on him.
Hearing Kazu's voice, Wamuu and Esidisi were stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
They looked at their companions beside them, then at Kazu's back, and followed behind him.
Kazu had no plan to return to Night Island temporarily.
Without devil fruit ability, Esidisi and Wamuu were like a burden, without even the ability to fly.
How could they leave Night Island, which was surrounded by a harsh environment?
Kazu had no intention of wasting time taking them with him.
Therefore, they needed to have this ability themselves to keep up with his pace.
Thus, the gu diao became his target.
Retrieving a powerful ancient zoan devil fruit into his own hands was also a means to enhance the Kingdom's strength.
In the Royal Capital, Esidisi and Wamuu were given more suitable clothes and wore cloaks similar to Kazu's over them.
This could block the sunlight that made them feel uncomfortable.
