The Location of God's Valley

--- Chapter 426 ---

Elwood.

"We are back!" Sabo and others were amazed by Huo Yuhao's power over space. It's not that they haven't seen anyone with space power, but most Devil Fruit Users with that power are either weak or couldn't even bring out the same effect Huo Yuhao did with a mere hand gesture.

Not to mention, Huo Yuhao doesn't eat Devil Fruit for this. Yes, this is the merit of Spirit Master's cultivation.

It made them second-guess their selection for their spirit rings, which should be compatible with their martial soul's attributes but also could wield space power in some ways.

Thankfully, Huo Yuhao brought many rune stones from spirit beasts with space powers. Well, he has an endless supply of them with the existence of Advalon in the main base. Those rune stones just piled up in Dragon Nest's warehouse.

Of course, not all rune stones are free. Some super spirit beasts spawned in Advalon once every three years, making their rune stones rare items in the Dragon Nest, so one must spend Contribution Points to get them. Yes, we are talking about a lot of contributions here.

"Sabo, Koala, what do you think about the current world's state?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.

Sabo raised his eyebrow, "Suppression! They lived in a fake world that the World Government created. Corrupt marines, evil pirates, and wicked people make things worse."

"The world is very chaotic."

"We need to revolutionize this world and make it a better place."

"Good words, but you forget something." Huo Yuhao nodded and then said. "To revolutionize something, you need absolute power."

"So, besides the task I previously gave, your department will also focus on reaching higher realms as soon as possible."  

"The war is imminent."

"I will take care of the most difficult one, and you guys take the one below."

"Can I leave that to you?"

"Yes, you can, Yuhao-sama!" Sabo responded firmly.

Huo Yuhao smiled, "Good, go rest for now. I have another task for you later."

Then, Sabo and his department excused themselves.

Huo Yuhao watched their backs and wondered about something before going to the Dragon Nest's branch base. He looked for Mihawk and saw him swinging his sword on the lawn.

"Yuhao-sama, you're here?" Mihawk sheathed Yoru.

Huo Yuhao stopped by a rock and sat on it, "I'm here for information, specifically Imu's."

"That guy, huh?" Mihawk's expression turned dark.

"Yup, we just discovered an island. The island has traces of outsiders meeting with Imu through the Dimensional Gap, and these outsiders are known for making magical items." Huo Yuhao explained slowly.

"What I wanted to know is... What kind of magical items Imu had in his hand."

"As someone who has fought him, you must know something."

Mihawk frowned, recalling some bad memories, "Magical items..."

"Now that you mentioned it, I think he does have some unknown items with weird powers that troubled us when coming to Tiny World."

"A few of them are chains that render concept and law power useless, an hourglass that creates vacuum space that creates chaotic time and age things 1,000 times faster, and a staff that erases our skills."

Huo Yuhao doesn't care much about the chains and hourglass, "What do you mean by erasing your skills?"

"When he pointed the staff at us, we lost the skills we trained as if they were gone from our mind." Mihawk described with difficulty. "Whether it was swordsmanship, Divine Might, or even our mastery over concepts, all that went instantly."

"It's like he snapped his finger and made it disappear."

'Evo, what do you think?' Huo Yuhao consulted with his system.

[According to the description given, what Imu used is probably a magical item known as Mind Zero, a powerful tool that could block information from one's consciousness]

'However, won't one's instinct and trained body override that?' Huo Yuhao raised a question.

[Well, yes, in the 'normal' scenario. However, don't forget that we are talking about Magical Items here and not technology, so the way they function and affect the world is fundamentally different]

[So, Mind Zero functions in a completely different range]

'Hmm, is there a way to counter this?' Huo Yuhao felt this magical item was dangerous.

[Coincidently, Magical Items like Zero couldn't erase talents, especially bloodline talents]

[At the same time, Mind Zero also couldn't erase the power of "certain" Omniversal Order Tier]

[The Obsidian Sacred Heritage's Powers is one above Mind Zero]

"Are you telling me to master them quickly?" Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly.

[Positive. Your best shot in defeating Neos Artificer is the Obsidian Sacred Heritage and the unique powers you learned from fighting that person]

"Thanks, I guess."

Huo Yuhao stared at Mihawk and said, "Say Mihawk... Do you know the location of God's Valley Island?"

"God's Valley Island?" Mihawk fell into a deep thought. "Unfortunately, I don't know the exact location of that place, Yuhao-sama."

"Even Celestial Dragons might not know, and only those with elite ranks among them could know such a thing..."

"Follow me to the prison." Huo Yuhao suddenly said, wanting to test the Celestial Dragon they had caught recently.

"Okay." Mihawk nodded as he was free.

They went to the prison and met Zephyr, asking him about the situation of their "Celestial Dragon" prisoner. As expected, the Celestial Dragon doesn't know the location of God's Valley.

Huo Yuhao even used Soul Manipulation on the Celestial Dragon to get the hidden information, and the result is still zero.

However, he only obtained a 'vile' memory of Celestial Dragons abusing their authority, starting from plundering, slavery, and debauchery.

Not convinced, Huo Yuhao even used his Soul Manipulation on CP Agent and obtained some 'useful' information, but none about God's Valley. He had to clean his mind after all that.

"Kill and send their remains to the World Government. I want to see some reaction from their side." Huo Yuhao said to Zephyr.

Zephyr patted his chest and nodded, "Leave it to me, Yuhao-sama!"

Huo Yuhao massaged his forehead, "It seems I have to get in contact with Marine Hero, Garp, and the former Fleet Admiral, Sengoku."

"Wait, I can call Rayleigh!" He slapped his forehead. He went through all that for nothing.

"He has visited God's Valley with Roger."

"Why am I so dumb?"  

Huo Yuhao immediately contacted Rayleigh through Seara and faced the Dark King's hologram on a ship.

"Yo, Boss!" Rayleigh greeted with a salute. "Do you need anything from me? I'm still far away from the location."

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, "I'm calling you not for that."

"Rayleigh, do you know the location of God's Valley?"

Rayleigh was in a daze for a second, "God's Valley? That's a familiar name I haven't heard for a while..."

"However, Boss. That island has gone from the face of this planet for nearly four decades now."

"No, it still exists." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "One of my companions is trapped there."  

"The God's Valley is the Devil Island Fujitora talked about before."

"But that is..." Rayleigh's expression becomes solemn. "I see... The World Government hides it from the world."

"No wonder I always thought it was weird that God's Valley disappeared after Roger and Garp fought Rocks despite having an intact island."

"At first, I thought the World Governments wanted to cover up the shame of Celestial Dragons..."

"But it seems there is more to it."

"Unfortunately, Yuhao-sama. If the World Government wanted to hide the island, they most likely moved it away from the original location, so I don't know where it was now."

"Actually, Yuhao-sama..." Mihawk suddenly opened his mouth. "I might know someone who knew the location."

"Who is it?" Huo Yuhao inquired excitedly.

Mihawk glanced at Rayleigh, making the infamous Dark King guess and laugh.

"Ah, that guy, huh?"

Mihawk smiled and then answered, "One of my young nobles, my friend in last and current life..."

"One of the Four Emperors of the Sea, The Akagami (Red Hair), Shanks!"
