[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 256 - 260

Chapter 256: Traverser, Traversers Seal!

The One Piece World has been turned into Lucas's own back garden, and the original plot has been broken. It is useless for any traversers to come now.

Unless their system is very powerful—powerful enough to suppress the original pirate world, even against Lucas, who has now become strong.

Lucas :@Xiao Xuan Go back to the Dou Qi Continent first. Find the sealed space where the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is located. Also, look for a place called Black Corner Region—that’s where the Ancient Emperor’s cave space is hidden.

Xiao Xuan: Wait—you don’t know where those two places are? I thought you knew everything!

Lucas rolled his eyes.

"The location of Black Corner Region is easy enough. Just get a complete map of the Dou Qi Continent and search the northwest region—you’ll find it. But the sealed space of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is a different matter. It’s well-hidden and only reveals itself at certain times."

Xiao Xuan raised his hand.

"That one I’m familiar with. My clan has records on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. Many of our Dou Sheng powerhouses have tried to capture it over the years, but none succeeded."

Lucas smiled faintly.

"If you can narrow down the location, I’ll handle the rest. The Pure Lotus Demonic Sage who sealed it may have been strong in his time, but his space technique doesn’t compare to mine. It won’t stop me."

Xiao Xuan nodded confidently.

"If that’s the case, then these two tasks aren’t that difficult. Don’t worry—I’ll get them done soon."

[CHAT GROUP]

After sending Xiao Xuan back to the Battle Through the Heavens World, Lucas immediately asked:

Lucas: Those transmigrator, how did you find them?

Senju Tobirama: After the establishment of the New World Federation, the revolutionary army led by Dragon did not immediately join us.

Lucas: They don't want to replace us and become the master of this world, right?

Senju Tobirama: Who knows? I don't know what they're thinking, but they aren't against us the way they were against the World Government. They don't trust us, though—who would, when we have so many troops from unknown sources?

Lucas: The troops from the world of Ninja and the world of Akame Ga Kill have done a lot to maintain peace. But they are not people of this world after all, and it's easy for people to find clues.

Senju Tobirama: Fortunately, the world of pirates is rather strange, especially the Grand Line, which is full of all kinds of strange countries. Plus, most ordinary people have little knowledge, so they were easily fooled.

Shiki the Golden Lion: Shihahahaha! I know this! The troops from the world of Ninja and the world of Akame ga Kill claim to be from Wano Country and some island from the Grand Line. Ordinary people don't know the truth, so they believe these words. But those powerhouses in the pirate world aren't so easy to fool, right?

Whitebeard: Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, is a clever one. He must not be so easily deceived.

Senju Tobirama: Maybe this is the real reason why they've been reluctant to merge with us, but it doesn't matter. With their strength, they won't be able to make any trouble for the World Federation.

Uchiha Madara: What do they have to do with the transmigrator?

Senju Tobirama: Although I believe they can't cause any major incidents, their strength makes me have to guard against them. I arranged for some agents to monitor them and found that there were a large number of strange powerhouses around them.

Sword God Ryuma: What's so strange about this? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon—it's not surprising that there are some hidden powerhouses in the pirate world. Maybe they all found something wrong with the World Federation, so they united!

Fire Fist Ace: Why do you think they are transmigrators?

Senju Tobirama: Among them is a strange strong man with Thor's Hammer in his hand. Is this a good enough reason?

Howard Stark: Thor's Mjölnir?

Senju Tobirama: That's right! If nothing else, that guy with a completely different look than Thor might also have the power of Thor. This should confirm that they are transmigrators, right?

Lucas: On the contrary! They are probably not ordinary transmigrator, but traversers who form groups to go to other worlds.

Senju Tobirama: Is there any difference between transmigrators and traversers?

Lucas: The difference is that transmigrators are also a type of reincarnator, and reincarnator who share a system are traverser.

Liu Xing: This description is really appropriate...

Senju Tobirama: I think I understand what the Group Leader means, but can you elaborate? I want to make sure that my guess is right.

Lucas: In the past, there was a system called Traverser Space. It selected a large number of Hosts at one time, assigned them tasks, and sent them to the corresponding world. Because there were too many Hosts, Traverser Space would not care about the host's life or death—it was inevitable that some would die, and there would always be new replacements.

Lucas: Traverser Space arranges various tasks for its hosts called traverser, and at the same time gives the traverser who complete tasks the opportunity to become stronger, motivating them to push their limits.

Liu Xing: Compared with a single system, the public system of Traverser Space is less humanized and more eager for quick success. I've read similar novels before, and the casualty rate of traverser is very high!

Shiki the Golden Lion: Shihahaha! Interesting! It seems that our pirate world is being targeted by that Traverser Space! Do they use our world as a testing ground? Group Leader, let me go talk to those traverser and compete with them.

Pirate King Roger: I have an idea—since that Traverser Space can have many hosts, can we become its hosts? In other words, can we become traverser too?

Lucas: It sounds interesting. You can try it. Don't worry, I'll go meet those traverser right away.

[PIRATE WORLD, HEADQUARTERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY]

Several traverser gathered together and communicated with each other solemnly.

"There is no doubt: this world is not a virtual world created by the Traverser Space—this is a real one piece world!"

"Not only that, this world is likely to have been visited by other traverser or transmigrators."

"How is your intelligence collection? This world is not in an ordinary state of chaos. There are too many characters who do not belong to this world."

"What is certain is... If we want to help the Revolutionary Army replace the World Federation, we must adopt a quick-fix strategy. After helping the Revolutionary Army replace the World Federation, we leave immediately. We must not stay in this world for too long."

"Yeah! Thor, Senju Hashirama, Madara—when the World Federation replaced the World Government, there were too many strong people. They are probably all controlled by that Lucas. That Lucas is the World Federation's trump card!"

"There is no doubt! That Lucas should be a transmigrator, and a reincarnator who can freely enter and exit worlds. Not only that, he can also bring people with him. Otherwise, there is no way to explain those troops from the Naruto World and Akame ga Kill."

"That's good news for us, isn't it? because he can go in and out of other worlds at will, there's no reason we have to confront him."

"While he's not here, let's finish our mission quickly. Anyway, the mission from Traverser Space is only for us to help the Revolutionary Army replace the World Federation. It doesn't matter whether the Revolutionary Army can maintain its position afterward."

"That's right!"

"That's it! That Lucas is too mysterious and too powerful, and I don't want to fight him at all."

"How's your chat with Dragon? Dragon is not an idiot. It's not easy to convince him to be hostile to the World Federation. Although he is wary of the World Federation, the strength of the World Federation makes it impossible for him to easily declare war on them."

"Don't worry! I have the ability to influence people's hearts. Just leave the job of influencing  Dragon to me."

"There are many people who are suspicious and dissatisfied with the World Federation. We can win more allies and helpers. As far as I know, there are many strong people in the laboratory of the World Federation."

"You can try it!"

Just as the traverser were chatting excitedly, Lucas quietly appeared in front of them, startling them.

"Who—"

"Lucas?"

"Damn!"

"Run!"

"Run, my ass! Fight!"

The traverser spoke one after another, their opinions inconsistent.

But it didn't matter, because their opinions didn't count. Lucas's thoughts were the most important.

"Seal!"

The invisible power of space suddenly condensed, suppressing all the traversers in front of him. The strength gap between the two sides was too large, and they had no resistance against Lucas.

"Let me see your memories!"

Lucas raised his hand to release the power of the phoenix. The powerful spiritual power, accompanied by the power of the mind stone and soul stone, began to read the memories of the traversers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just when Lucas was about to browse their memories, the bodies of several traversers exploded, seemingly triggered by failsafe mechanisms installed by the Traverser Space.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing five traversers and obtaining five Traverser Seals for the system—by holding the Traverser Seals , you can obtain the status of traverser."

A flood of information appeared in Lucas's mind, which made him very happy.

Those who have the Traverser Seals can deceive the Traverser Space and obtain the identity of traverser. And Lucas can locate the world through Traverser Space, and even watch the live broadcast through Traverser Space.

Chapter 257: Sounds very powerful!

"Traverser Seals ? Good stuff!"

Lucas smiled and spoke in the chat group:

Lucas: "I got something that can help infiltrate into the Traverser Space. Who would like to be a Traversers?"

Pirate King Roger: "Does it even need to be said? Of course I am the most suitable to be an undercover agent."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Take that down! You are the most irresponsible person in the chat group, and you still want to be an undercover agent? Don't waste this precious opportunity!"

Lucas: "Indeed! There are only five person that can be entered into the Traverser Space , and they cannot be easily wasted."

Pirate King Roger: "There are only five places? This is too few."

Lucas: "Don't worry! The key item that enters the Traverser Space , the Traverser Seals , is the reward that I got after I kill the Traverser. If nothing else happens, I can get more Traverser Seals for every Traverser I kill in the future."

Pirate King Roger: "Then I can rest assured! In this case, don't give me one of the five precious spot that you currently have. I still have some stuff to do, and the work of being undercover is really not suitable for me."

Uchiha Madara: "How about giving me a Traverser Seals ? Undercover is also the basic ability of ninjas."

Senju Tobirama: "Compared to everyone from other worlds, we ninjas are indeed more suitable for the work of being an undercover agent."

Howard Stark: "I think five places are quite a lot. After all, there are only a few members in the chat group. Excluding those with little strength and work to do, there are not many who can go undercover in the Traverser Space ."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "The world of Ninja is on the right track, and it can run normally even without me. Group Leader, how about giving me a place to enter the Traverser Space ?"

Sword God Ryuma: "I also want a place as a Traverser. The Traverser Space is a very interesting place to me."

Lucas: "If that's the case, I will choose Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, Gengetsu Hōzuki, Ryuma, and Sebastian Shaw to go!"

Sebastian Shaw: "Me? That's fine! Anyway, I don't have much to do on Earth, so it's better to go to the Traverser Space to explore."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Sebastian Shaw, aren't you fighting against your own arch rival, Magneto?"

Sebastian Shaw: "Hmmm? Don't be stupid! He is not my opponent at all, and it is very boring to fight him."

Howard Stark: "Your ability is indeed a bit cheating, but Magneto's good friend, Professor Charles, can't he restrain you?"

Sebastian Shaw: "Charles can't do anything to me if I wear my psychic shielding helmet. Fighting him is more boring than fighting Eric!"

Gold Thief Woonan: "Aren’t you going to kill Magneto? That's your mortal enemy."

Sebastian Shaw: "No~ For Eric, it is more painful to live than to die. The mutant technology obtained by the Group Leader from Ego solves the contradiction between mutants and ordinary people, allowing Eric's lifelong dream to come to nothing."

Howard Stark: "He is already old, and still wants to build a mutant empire? Based on his current age, even if he really builds a mutant empire, he doesn't have much time to enjoy it!"

Uchiha Madara: "Howard, not everyone is as obsessed with enjoyment as you are. For some people, in order to achieve their ideals, they can endure all the pain and loneliness."

Senju Tobirama: "Endure all the pain and loneliness? Madara, have you experienced this life too?"

Uchiha Madara: "Of course! The years I waited for Rinnegan to awaken, do you think I was enjoying myself?"

Lucas: "I can testify that Madara has been living in the dark underground for those years, living an ascetic life. That he endured pain and loneliness, there is no doubt."

Outside, in the dark dimension:

The five chosen to enter the Traverser space were all summoned, and Lucas gave them each a Traverser Seals , asking them to try to fuse it with themselves.

"It's going well!"

Senju Hashirama was the first to complete the fusion with the Traverser Seals , and then his whole body was enveloped in a ray of light, which was undoubtedly the power from the Traverser Space .

Hashirama said solemnly: "Group Leader, I feel that the Traverser Space seems to be calling me!"

Lucas laughed: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"

Senju Hashirama smiled slightly, gave up his resistance to this power, and disappeared in an instant.

In the chat group:

Lucas: "@Senju Hashirama, open up your POV and let us see your situation."

Senju Hashirama: "Okay! I also need you to help me analyze what's going on in the environment I'm in now."

Senju Hashirama opened up view sharing, allowing Lucas and others to observe everything around him him. At this time, Senju Hashirama was in a vast white space, surrounded by closed spaces, and there was no one around.

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded: "Traverser, welcome to the Traverser Space . If you want to survive in the Traverser Space , you must accept a mission every month, otherwise you will be obliterated by the Traverser Space . After the task is completed, you have seven days of rest time before the start of the thirty-day monthly clock."

Then a light curtain appeared in front of Senju Hashirama, displaying his personal attributes and a shop icon, as well as zero Traverser coins. Senju Hashirama decisively opened the Traverser Mall, and then saw the densely packed product names displayed on the light curtain.

In the chat group:

Everyone was a little shocked. The visual impact brought by the exaggerated number of commodity types in Traverser Mall was too much.

Uchiha Madara: "Are you kidding me? They sell Mangekyō Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, How can that be? Damn it, even Rinnegan has a price!!"

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "The base price of Mangekyō Sharingan is 3,000, and the specific price is determined according to the dojutsu. Uchiha Obito's Kamui Mangekyō is indeed the best among Mangekyō Sharingan, and the price is close to the base price of Eternal Mangekyō."

Namikaze Minato: "Space ability is a high-end ability in most worlds, even in the Marvel world. There are so many strong people in the Marvel world, but except for Kamar Taj's Sorcerers, how many have Space manipulation ability?"

Xiao Xuan: "In the Battle Through the Heavens World, as long as the strength reaches Dou Zong, anyone can touch the threshold of the power of space. But only at the Dou Zun level can one control space power... If you want to open up space, it requires more—the strength of the Dou Sheng level."

Lucas: "The strength level in the Battle Through the Heavens World is divided into ten major levels, and only the sixth level is Dou Zong. A strong person of this level can shatter mountains and rivers with every gesture. Don't underestimate it because of its relatively low level!"

Xiao Xuan: "That's right! Except for imperial clans with strong bloodlines like ours, among ordinary people, there is not one among thousands who can become Dou Zong. Those who can become Dou Zong are basically geniuses, enough to dominate an empire on the edge of the continent."

Namikaze Minato: "How big is that kind of empire?"

Namikaze Minato has been working in the world of Akame ga Kill, leading the operation of the empire, and is more sensitive to the term "empire."

Xiao Xuan: "Well, to be honest, I don't know much about these things. You know, I was born in a powerful imperial family. All I needed to focus on was strength, and the rest I only needed to know a little bit about."

Uchiha Madara: "Group Leader, if someone in the world of Marvel and DC obtains Kamui Mangekyō, how strong will they be?"

Lucas: "Who knows? It's definitely not enough to be invincible. But against most powerful people, the two abilities of Intangibility and space distortion are enough to keep the owner of Kamui Mangekyō safe. After all, not all worlds are like the Battle Through the Heavens World, where space manipulation power is so common."

Thomas Wayne: "Indeed! Even kryptonians or even Saiyan don't know space manipulation ability. against them, space manipulation ability is a powerful tool."

Lucas: "That's not necessarily true! Kamui Mangekyō's Intangibility is indeed a very useful dodge skill, but this skill needs to be actively controlled. The attack speed of Ki attack of Saiyans or Kryptonian in full speed can be fast—These Mangekyo is definitely not their match. user would be instantly killed before he could react."

Namikaze Minato: "I can attest to this. During the Nine Tails rebellion, I wounded Obito with an attack that he didn't have time to respond to. If it was a Kryptonian or a Saiyan, they would appear next to him in an instant and kill him."

Uchiha Shisui: "Like my Mangekyo Dojutsu, Kamui is still very good as a skill. But being absolutely invincible with it? Such a thing is impossible."

Uchiha Madara: "Kotoamatsukami 's value is second only to Kamui, and it's also a good ability. But Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Flame Control? Why is this ability here?!"

Senju Tobirama: "You wanted to executed the plan of Infinite Tsukuyomi, don't you know what Tsukuyomi is?"

Uchiha Madara: "Of course I know Tsukuyomi is a kind of genjutsu, but using this kind of illusion to occupy the position of a Mangekyō dojutsu seems too extravagant. This skill is not worthy! Group Leader, what are Amaterasu and Flame Control?"

Lucas: "Amaterasu can create unquenchable black flames, and Flame Control can control Amaterasu's black flames. Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are the abilities of Uchiha Itachi's eyes in the original future, and Amaterasu and Flame Control are the Mangekyō abilities of Uchiha Sasuke in the original future."

Senju Hashirama: "A black flame that can’t be put out? That sounds incredibly powerful!"

Lucas: "It is terrifying—flames that won’t die out until they’ve completely consumed their target. But there are plenty of ways to counter it, so it’s not as unbeatable as it sounds."

Chapter 258: Forest Fire Caused by Amaterasu?

Lucas: "There are many ways to deal with Amaterasu's flames, such as sealing the fire with Fuinjutsu."

The Fuinjutsu in the Ninja world is a panacea-level technique that can seal anything. From chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya—they can all be dealt with through sealing.

Senju Tobirama: "The effect of Fuinjutsu isn't very good in actual combat. It's just like the seal for Tailed Beasts. Unless the target doesn't move, it's difficult to seal them smoothly."

Senju Hashirama: "If that's the case, the seal can only deal with those black flames that aren't controlled by the enemy. If you're burned by the black flames yourself, it becomes very troublesome."

Uchiha Madara: "What's so troublesome about this? Rinnegan's Preta Path absorption and Shinra Tensei can easily solve these Chakra creations."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "Do you think everyone has Rinnegan?"

Uchiha Madara: "Do you think Mangekyō Sharingan's dōjutsu is so easy to acquire? The Group Leader said there are many ways to counter it, but that's only for him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lucas: "I can't say that's entirely true. Amaterasu itself has great drawbacks. You should be very clear about this. There's no perfect ninjutsu in the Ninja world, and Amaterasu also has its weaknesses. fuinjutsu can solve the black flames that already exist, and Chakra coating can fight against the attack of black flames."

Namikaze Minato: "Chakra?"

Lucas: "This is your son Uzumaki Naruto's way of dealing with Amaterasu. When fighting Sasuke, he used the Nine-Tails Chakra cloak to protect himself. When the cloak caught fire from Amaterasu, he simply shed that layer of Chakra like a snake shedding its skin, removing the flames completely."

Senju Tobirama: "Is it the Chakra coat formed by the Tailed Beast Chakra? It's difficult for ordinary people to make a Chakra coat from their own Chakra. Of course, this isn't impossible."

Lucas: "Hmm! If you think this method is troublesome, then put a few shields in your sealing scroll. When the enemy uses Amaterasu, use the shield to block, and then throw away the shield that's burning with black flames."

Senju Hashirama: "This method is so good that anyone can use it!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "When the Group Leader explains it like this, the inextinguishable black flame that sounded so powerful just now turns useless in an instant."

Lucas: "That's how it is! These are ninjas, and intelligence is very important to them. Many powerful ninjas will be easily dealt with by ninjas much weaker than themselves once their abilities are understood."

Uchiha Shisui: "No way?"

Lucas: "Why not? I have a living example here. In Akatsuki's organization in the future, there was a ninja who specialized in clay bombs and explosive. Before his abilities were understood, he captured and defeated the Kazekage and the Three-Tails. He looked very strong."

Senju Hashirama: "He captured the Kazekage?"

Uchiha Madara: "It's nothing to be surprised about. Sunagakure has always been weak. It's not a big deal when its own Kazekage was captured."

Lucas: "That's right! Sunagakure is really weak. The Third Kazekage was assassinated by the puppet genius Sasori from his own village, and his corpse was turned into a human puppet. The Fourth Kazekage was assassinated by Konoha's rogue ninja Orochimaru, who then impersonated him to attack Konoha. The Fifth Kazekage was defeated in his own village and was taken away."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "I used to think that it was unlucky enough for the Fourth Mizukage to be controlled by Obito, but I didn't expect Sunagakure's situation to be worse. Compared with Sunagakure's Kazekages, the Fourth Mizukage doesn't seem so tragic."

Senju Hashirama: "Have you noticed? This ability named Amaterasu is very suitable for me! First, I can create a tree world to cover the area, and then use the Amaterasu black flame to set the trees on fire."

Lucas: "Forest fire? And it's the kind of forest fire with unquenchable flames. It's really scary. But for people who have a lot of Chakra, the effect of this trick may not be so good."

Senju Hashirama: "Group Leader! Madara's Fire Style can't beat my Wood Style, do you know why?"

Uchiha Madara: "Because Hashirama's trees are under his control as long as they're not destroyed. Even burning tree roots are still under his control."

Senju Tobirama: "So with the Fire Style released by Madara, if he can't directly destroy the trees made by my brother, he will face the attack of burning trees. Originally, the trees made by my brother only had physical damage, but now they inflict additional fire damage."

Lucas: "So Hashirama, you want to enchant your own trees with Amaterasu black flames?"

Senju Hashirama: "That's right! Although my tree world can change the terrain in an instant, it often struggles against fast enemies. Those people can jump around to avoid the attacking tree roots, and the already formed woods are also hard to hurt them. But with Amaterasu's inextinguishable black flames covering the entire forest..."

Uchiha Shisui: "Mangekyō Sharingan's dōjutsu isn't so easily controlled. Is it possible to create Amaterasu black flames that cover an entire forest?"

Senju Hashirama: "Don't worry! I still have Sage Body in my attribute list, which can assist in the release of Mangekyō's dōjutsu. With such a powerful body as my engine and cooler, what's so hard about covering a forest with Amaterasu's black flames?"

Uchiha Madara: "It's undeniable that Sage Body and Mangekyō Sharingan are a good match. Uchiha Obito has less than half of his body made of Wood Style cells, yet his Kamui Mangekyō can be used indefinitely."

Senju Hashirama: "Compared with the Wood Style cells in Uchiha Obito, the Wood Style cells in my body are not only greater in number, but also two or three grades higher in quality. If I get Amaterasu Mangekyō, I'm sure to create an Amaterasu fire that can change the terrain just like I can with Wood Style."

Senju Tobirama: "Brother, are you sure you want to buy Amaterasu Mangekyō? I think Kamui Mangekyō is more practical. You can see what everyone said—space ability is a game-changer in many worlds."

Senju Hashirama: "Tobirama! As you know, using space abilities isn't my fighting style. Fighting that way requires precise calculations. Your brother prefers the direct approach—I'm taking the path of overwhelming force."

Senju Tobirama was speechless. It was a bit tricky. Hashirama's first move is always a large Wood Style that can change the terrain. He has become accustomed to this fighting style, and he can't change it easily.

Lucas: "Don't worry about this issue. You still have plenty of time to change your fighting style. Don't forget, you don't even have any Traverser coins now. The process of earning Traverser coins will also be a process of self-transformation."

Uchiha Madara: "Hashirama! Amaterasu Black Flame really does pair well with your Wood Style, but it can only deal with those who aren't very strong. If you really want to become stronger, Rinnegan is what you should choose."

Senju Hashirama: "Madara, hurry up and check out the Traverser Space! Your Rinnegan should still be in your personal attributes, and the Traverser Space can also help you upgrade your Rinnegan."

Lucas: "Not only Rinnegan, but Sage Body can also continue to be upgraded. Both Sage Body and Rinnegan need to reach at least my level to be considered fully developed."

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, can your Sage Body and Eyes continue to grow stronger?"

Lucas: "Of course! For example, to classify Sage Body and Eyes, each upgrade requires a lot of experience points. If I want to continue to improve my current level, the experience points needed are virtually infinite. This means that upgrading is practically impossible, but the increase in strength represented by the increase in experience value can still exist."

Fire Fist Ace: "Why is Pops' Tremor-Tremor Fruit so cheap? The price is almost the same as Amaterasu Mangekyō. It makes no sense—don't they know that Pops' Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability is the Devil Fruit power that can destroy the world?"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Ace, you don't need to care about such trivial things. Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability is indeed powerful, but not everyone can use it. Without my strong physique, one couldn't fully utilize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's strength."

Golden Lion Shiki: "That's right! Although the destructive power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit is impressive, it has too many negative impacts on most users. Those who can control this Devil Fruit are all top masters without exception. In comparison, my Float-Float Fruit ability is more valuable."

Pirate King Roger: "The price of Float-Float Fruit can be on par with Kamui Mangekyō? Could it be because of its hidden potential? Like the Group Leader said, an island that falls from the sky can destroy the entire world"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Who knows? Maybe it's just because this Devil Fruit is stronger! Even without using meteorites to destroy the world, Float-Float Fruit's abilities are very useful."

Lucas: "Indeed! The ability to touch objects and make them float, plus the ability to control oneself in the air—just these features alone are enough to increase the value of this Devil Fruit. What's more, it also gives the user air dominance and the strategic value of creating a flying fortress. It's not surprising that it's valued similarly to Kamui Mangekyō."

Chapter 259: Is Everything Done?

At this time, Uchiha Madara and the others completed their fusion with the Traverser Seals and entered the Traverser Space one after another. They did not get together, but entered the white spaces individually.

Senju Hashirama: "Can't we get together? That's a shame. If possible, I would like to team up with Madara to do the mission."

Uchiha Madara: [tsundere humming] "Only the weak need to form a team. The strong can handle all tasks by themselves."

Senju Tobirama: "Don't brag there! I don’t see you handling those traversers alone"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Xiao Xuan: "Is there even a special flames for sale in the Traverser Space? The Top Emperor Flame should be the first heavenly fire formed by the fusion of twenty-two different flames, right?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "A million Traverser coins, is this serious? The price is a bit too high. How much is a Devil Fruit?"

Lucas: "The price is not high at all. Don't compare it to Devil Fruit. Didn't you see that a Chakra Fruit costs 30,000 Traverser coins? The energy contained in Dou Di Heavenly Flame is much larger than that of Chakra Fruit, so it's not surprising that it has this value."

Xiao Xuan: "After the fusion, Emperor Flame should still have the function of the original Heavenly Flame, right?"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! If that's the case, then the Emperor Flame is worth the money. Each Heavenly Flame is equivalent to the fusion of Mera Mera Fruit and other Devil Fruit abilities. After obtaining the Emperor Flame, you can have twenty-three different abilities."

Lucas: "@Xiao Xuan, is everything done?"

Xiao Xuan: "It's done! I have confirmed the location of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the location of the ancient emperor's cave, but I am now trapped at the entrance of the ancient emperor's cave. The old dragon emperor Zhu Kun is annoying. After he found out I didn't have the ancient jade, he trapped me here."

Howard Stark: "No way? You two are at the same level of strength. He shouldn't be able to stop you if you want to leave, right?"

Xiao Xuan: "He really can't stop me, and I'm not afraid of him in a fight. But our battlefield is a bit special. This is the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She! After we fought for a while, the power the Ancient Emperor Tuo She left behind imprisoned us."

Sebastian Shaw: "There is only one level difference between you and the Ancient Emperor Tuo She? With such a small gap, the little power he left behind can suppress both of you?"

Xiao Xuan: "In our world, the difference of just one level is like the difference between heaven and earth. Not to mention the power he left behind, even his coercion alone might be something we couldn't withstand."

Lucas: "It can easily hold the Dragon Emperor, of course it can also contain other with the same strenght ."

Xiao Xuan: "I can see that! After this bastard pulled me into this situation, he was chattering proudly. It seems that he's also going stir-crazy and especially needs someone to keep him company here. But I have to say that the lifespan of the Dragon clan is terrifying!"

Senju Hashirama: "Indeed! To live for ten thousand years is a horrible lifespan. No one in our Ninja World has recorded years as old as him."

Sword God Ryuma: "The same is true in the world of pirates. The time recorded in history is not even ten thousand years. If we count before that, it's uncertain whether there were even humans at that time!"

Howard Stark: "I really envy these immortal species! But won't this race that can survive for several ten thousand years break the balance of strength in the Battle Through the Heavens World?"

Lucas: "Lifespan? The dragon emperor can live so long, not all because of his race's natural lifespan. Xiao Xuan, haven't you figured it out? The time near the ancient emperor's cave has been altered, and the passage of time there is much slower than in the outside world."

Xiao Xuan: "I've already noticed it, but I wasn't completely sure."

Uchiha Madara: "Can Dou Di's power affect the flow of time in an area? That's really scary enough. Space power is enough to drive people crazy, and the horror of time power is even greater than space power."

Xiao Xuan: "It is indeed within Dou Di's ability to influence time. I've been exposed to similar things before. There was a Dou Di who built a large tomb for himself, and the time in the tomb passed much faster than the outside world. Cultivating in it could train talents faster."

Sword God Ryuma: "Does every member of the Dou Di family have access to such a useful thing?"

Xiao Xuan: "That's not true! Maybe time power is a common ability of all Dou Dis, just like space power is a power that all Dou Zong can access. But not all Dou Di can build constructs that can affect the speed of time passage. Only a Dou Di who has truly mastered the power of time can do it."

Howard Stark: "I understand! The difficulty of manipulating the power of time and creating an item with the power of time is completely different. The Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj who can use the power of space cannot easily create a magic tool that uses the power of space at will."

Xiao Xuan: "That's right, that's the truth. Group Leader, do you have time to pick me up now?"

Lucas: "Coming soon!"

Lucas came to the Battle Through the Heavens World, appeared in the magma world underground in Black Corner Region, and saw a huge space buried there—that was the space where the ancient emperor's cave was located.

A powerful force surged out of Lucas's body and sealed the ancient emperor's space. The cave space seemed to have sensed the unkind power of the newcomer, and a wisp of time power permeated out, resisting Lucas's energy.

"The power of time?"

Lucas smiled slightly. The Time Stone on his finger glowed green, offsetting the power of time released by the cave space.

Then one after another energy seal appeared out of thin air, surrounding the space where the ancient emperor's cave was located. After Lucas sealed the cave space, he packaged it directly to the Marvel world and sent it to the Dark Dimension.

The energy seal set by Lucas quickly disintegrated, and the space where the ancient emperor's cave was also quickly dissolving. A long purple-gold dragon flew out, followed by Xiao Xuan who was in a soul state.

"What is going on?"

The long purple-gold dragon transformed into a majestic middle-aged man, looking at the surrounding scene with surprise. "How could the space left by the Ancient Emperor Tuo She suddenly dissolve?"

Lucas smiled and said: "Because it has encountered an irresistible force, it can only be melted and disintegrated. Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan—Zhu Kun, I am very happy to meet you!"

Zhu Kun looked at Lucas vigilantly, and suddenly attacked Lucas. Purple-gold light gushed out from his body, turning into a huge dragon claw and grabbing at Lucas.

"State your identity and purpose!"

Zhu Kun spoke coldly, deciding to strike first.

Xiao Xuan, who was on the side, said speechlessly: "Group Leader, this Dragon Emperor really needs a lesson."

Lucas nodded and said: "You're right, he should really be taught a lesson. Should we say he's a muscle-head with no brains? He doesn't even look at the difference in strength before attacking."

Lucas stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the energy dragon claw that suddenly appeared in front of him. The energy dragon claw instantly dissipated into nothingness.

Then, jet-black chains emerged from nowhere. The iron chains formed by dark energy enveloped Zhu Kun and tied him firmly.

"Damn it!"

Zhu Kun was furious and struggled violently.

Lucas said helplessly: "Be obedient, otherwise you will suffer."

As soon as the words left his mouth, flames condensed by strands of dark energy appeared on Zhu Kun's body, causing him to burn in unbearable pain. Soon he showed his true form, and a huge purple-gold dragon violently thrashed about in the Dark Dimension.

"I surrender!"

In the end, Zhu Kun was unable to withstand the dark flames, and made a hysterical plea for mercy.

"Very good!"

"In the future, you will partner with Xiao Xuan and take care of the Dou Qi Continent for me."

Lucas nodded with satisfaction and removed the dark fire from Zhu Kun's body, letting Zhu Kun breathe a sigh of relief.

"Knowing this earlier, I would never have forced you to stay."

Zhu Kun glanced at Xiao Xuan with a sad face, and said in a regretful tone.

He felt that he was experiencing this purely because he had dragged Xiao Xuan into this mess. From the interaction between Lucas and Xiao Xuan, it was obvious that they were allies.

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "It's your honor to be able to serve the Group Leader. Drop that expressionless face."

Lucas nodded and said, "That's right! As long as you do things well for me, your benefits will not be lacking. Even the chance to advance to Dou Di—I can provide that for you."

Zhu Kun said in surprise: "Are you kidding?"

Lucas smiled and said, "Of course not! Why do you think there are no more Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent? Xiao Xuan, give him some education on this!"

Instructing Xiao Xuan to teach Zhu Kun about the Origin Qi, Lucas focused his attention on the ancient emperor's cave.

The flow of dark energy, in the absence of Tuo She's cave space, forcibly broke open the gate of the ancient emperor's cave.

Chapter 260: A Nerd?

A steady stream of dark energy forced the ancient emperor's cave to open, and Lucas walked in with curious Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun.

Xiao Xuan looked at the huge square in the ancient emperor's cave and said with emotion: "Heavenly Flame Square? The Group Leader is right—the Ancient Emperor Tuo She is really the fusion of 22 Heavenly Flame."

Zhu Kun said, stunned: "You guys even know this?"

Xiao Xuan smiled and said: "Don't think that just because we didn't live in that era, we don't understand the events of that time. After the Ancient Emperor Tuo She swallowed up many different heavenly flames, he became the first-ranked Heavenly Flame, and that's where the ranking of Heavenly Flames comes from."

Zhu Kun stared at Xiao Xuan and suddenly asked, "Which family are you from? Don't tell me you're from an ordinary background."

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "I'm a descendant of Dou Di—from the Xiao clan!"

Zhu Kun pondered: "Is it the Xiao clan? In the era of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She, although the Xiao clan was not a major clan, it did exist. It's not surprising that there are records of this in your clan."

Xiao Xuan smiled and didn't explain that Lucas had told him these things. He looked at the huge statue at the front of the square, where a steady stream of dark energy was engaging in a final confrontation with the statue.

An old man whose appearance was exactly the same as the statue was forcibly suppressed by a mass of powerful dark energy, and finally transformed into an elixir under the suppression of the dark energy—that is, the Emperor Grade Pill.

Boom!

After the Emperor Pill was suppressed, the huge statue was forcibly opened by the dark energy, and a huge space burst out from it, turning into a surging sea of flames.

An old man exactly like the statue appeared in the sea of fire. His hair was colorful, as if a gorgeous flame was burning in it.

"This is totally different from what I imagined!"

"How many years has it been? Is this still the Dou Qi Continent? It looks so different. No—I'm afraid this is not the Dou Qi Continent at all?"

The old man with long flaming hair stood in the sea of fire and smiled at the dark world around him. The endless sea of flames fought against the surrounding dark energy.

"The darkness is terrifying, but flame can illuminate the light."

Looking at the dark energy around him being driven back by his own sea of flames, Emperor Tuo She smiled and said to Lucas.

Lucas shook his head and said, "No—the flame is just a moment of splendor, while darkness is eternal!"

As Lucas's voice fell, the entire cave of Emperor Tuo She was swallowed up and disintegrated by dark energy. Emperor Tuo She and his flame ocean were exposed to the universe of the Dark Dimension, and monstrous dark energy surrounded them.

"This is my world!"

"Don't say that you are not a complete being now—even if you were a complete Dou Di now, you would not be my opponent."

Lucas looked at Emperor Tuo She and his sea of flames, and spoke in a proud tone.

Emperor Tuo She looked at the dark energy around him with a blank expression, and this powerful force made his scalp tingle.

He believed what Lucas said—even at his peak, he might not be able to fight against such a huge darkness.

If you can't beat it, then you don't need to fight hard. In any case, he was only a remnant of thoughts now, and there was no reason to fight to the end.

The sea of flames around Emperor Tuo She converged, and he asked kindly, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

Lucas thought about it for a while, and said very simply: "It's very simple—I want your power inheritance."

Ancient Emperor Tuo She said in surprise: "Your power is so powerful, why do you still need my inheritance?"

Lucas shook his head and said: "My powerful power is limited to this world, and these dark energies cannot be fully absorbed by me. Although they have improved my life form and strength, this improvement is limited."

Ancient Emperor Tuo She looked at the dark energy around him curiously and asked, "Is that so? Shouldn't this be the energy of the Dou Ki Continent? This kind of energy is magical and strange—I have never seen this kind of power before."

Lucas nodded and said, "Yes! The energy of Dou Ki Continent can be used for people to cultivate and improve their strength level and life form. The energy here does not have such an effect. Although it can also be used for combat and life maintenance, these energies are borrowed and cannot be completely integrated with my body and soul. When I obtained this Dark Dimension, I was empowered by dark energy, and my strength and life form were sublimated, but that's all."

Ancient Emperor Tuo She smiled and said, "So you want to absorb my energy, because after absorbing my energy, your strength will be permanently improved, instead of being used up like these dark energies."

Lucas smiled: "That's it! It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Here I can forcibly plunder your power. This is my world, and you should be able to perceive my connection with this world."

Emperor Tuo She smiled and said, "Of course! Is this a world that is independent of my own world? When I was alive, I discovered that there is a world outside my world, but I just didn't go out to explore it. I can give my strength to you, but you have to promise me one request."

Lucas laughed: "Let's hear it! If this request is too much for me, I won't agree."

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She said: "This request is not too much. I want to know the current situation of Dou Qi Continent. Since you can bring my cave here, you must know something about the Dou Qi Continent, right? I want to know about the Dou Qi Continent. Has there been another Dou Di in the world?"

Lucas said speechlessly, "You hid the last source of Origin Qi in the cave you created. How could there be another Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent?"

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Senior Emperor Tuo She, why did you hide the last source of Origin Qi in your cave? If others can't get the source of these, they can't be promoted to Dou Di."

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She said indifferently: “If I don't collect this energy, it will dissipate. There's only enough left for one person to advance. By refining it into a pill, whoever obtains it gains the chance to become a Dou Di, saving future generations from the painstaking collection process.”

Zhu Kun snorted, "You may not be the most virtuous old man, but you're right. There's only a small amount of the original Emperor Qi remaining. If it's split between two people, neither would have enough to reach the Dou Di realm—meaning there would be no new Dou Dis in this world."

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She spoke calmly, “That’s not necessarily the case. Didn’t I leave behind my inheritance? It contains a portion of the Emperor’s Origin Qi as well. If someone can absorb it, they too can ascend to the Dou Di realm. I left behind two chances in my cave for such an opportunity… but sadly, the grand clash between dragon and tiger that I had hoped for never came to pass.”

Xiao Xuan looked at the Ancient Emperor Tuo She with curiosity, then asked, “Senior, by leaving your power behind, wasn’t that essentially choosing to die within the world of Dou Qi?”

Zhu Kun rolled his eyes and snapped, “Obviously! The source of his power, including the last of the Origin Qi, is still here. Where else could he go? Of course he gave up everything after his death.”

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "Then I don't understand, why didn't the senior leave the Dou Qi Continent to go to a higher world like other Dou Di powerhouses?"

Zhu Kun was surprised: "There are more advanced worlds?"

Ancient Emperor Tuo She nodded and said: "Yes! After you become Dou Di, you will be able to sense that there is a world outside this one, and you can also break the shackles of the world and leave here. However, this old man was not interested in the unknown world, so I did not leave."

Lucas suddenly asked, his expression a little odd, “Emperor Tuo She... were you pretty much unknown before becoming a Dou Di? Even after your breakthrough, you didn’t seem to leave behind many legends in the Dou Qi Continent?”

Zhu Kun stroked his chin thoughtfully and replied, “That’s actually true! Aside from that one big moment when he ascended to Dou Di, he was incredibly low-key. It’s like he barely existed on the continent. Most people just assumed he was someone obsessed with seclusion and cultivation.”

Lucas muttered helplessly, “Obsessed with seclusion? Sounds more like he just liked staying put. Before reaching Dou Di, he wandered underground. After that, he either holed up collecting Origin Qi or spent all his time nesting in the Different Flame World. No wonder he never stepped into the higher planes.”

Emperor Tuo She: "..."

Emperor Tuo She thought silently in his heart, but he didn't say it aloud. As a Dou Di, he also needed to maintain his dignity.

"Okay, give me your power! In return, I can let your remnant consciousness live here forever."

Lucas stopped chatting and asked Emperor Tuo She to get down to business.

"To live here forever? That's torture!"

Emperor Tuo She glanced at the darkness around him and said speechlessly.

“Who said you’d be bored? There are plenty of people here who can keep you company.”

With a snap of his fingers, Lucas caused the space belonging to the Hun Clan—previously swallowed by the Dark Dimension—to reappear. Along with it came the phantom forms of the Nihility Devouring Flame and Hun Tiandi soul, both of whom stood frozen, their eyes filled with confusion as they took in their surroundings.

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Nihility Devouring Flame?”

The spirit of the Void-Swallowing Flame jerked in shock, its gaze locking onto Tuo She with unmasked hatred. “Ancient Emperor Tuo She!”

Lucas watched the interaction with amusement, then turned to Tuo She with a smile. “Even though his consciousness has shifted, that hatred toward you runs so deep it’s become instinct.”

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She remained calm and indifferent. “It doesn’t matter. I have no interest in mingling with them. Let this remnant of mine fade away.”

Lucas shrugged and replied coolly, “As you wish.”

The Ancient Emperor Tuo She said no more, and the Nihility Devouring Flame, which was condensed with the strength of his life, flew out from the sea of fire in front of him. One after another, dark energy fell on it, and the power of the phoenix rose to a boil.

The heavenly flames, which had been transformed and domesticated in various ways, was swallowed by Lucas.
