Chapter 495 495
Tens of thousands of meters above the ground, the Holy Land Mary Geoise was already heavily fortified with layer upon layer of strict defenses, standing ready for battle.
Kong walked up to the Gorosei with a grim expression and asked bluntly.
"Gorosei, can you tell me what's going on here? Don't give me that line about maintaining world peace again!"
His tone carried a questioning note, and his burly frame trembled slightly.
From this series of shocking upheavals, Kong had witnessed the disaster facing this world.
Looking down from tens of thousands of meters high in the sky.
Thick columns of smoke rose everywhere across the New World seas.
Due to the sudden emergence of the Red Line, the seven seas merged into one, submerging countless nations situated at lower elevations.
What terrified Kong the most was—
Through the cracks splitting the ground of Mary Geoise, he could see the massive steel ring beneath spinning wildly.
Even with the naked eye, one could clearly see immense amounts of heat energy continuously surging from the planet below toward the ring!
This discovery left Kong's mind blank.
They were draining the planet's energy!
What were the Celestial Dragons trying to do?
What were the Gorosei planning?
What did Imu intend?
Just imagining the consequences of the Earth's core losing billions of years' worth of stored thermal energy sent a chill down Kong's spine.
"Mind your tone when speaking to us, Kong!"
Nusjuro drew the Supreme Great Blade, the Shodai Kitetsu.
An astonishing sharpness instantly filled the skies above Mary Geoise.
At the same time, streams of pitch-black energy seeped from Nusjuro's body, making his gaunt, short frame appear like a Demon God.
This aura was so overwhelming that Kong felt as if a sharp blade were pressed against his neck.
He had expected the Gorosei's strength to be considerable.
But he never imagined that Nusjuro alone could be so powerful as to plunge him into despair!
"What kind of power is this?"
Though shocked by the strength Firgarland displayed, Kong's confusion only deepened.
His broad chest heaved as he took a deep breath and spoke gravely.
"Today, you all must—"
Boom!!
A sudden explosion cut off Kong's question.
Immediately, the whole of Mary Geoise began to shake violently!
Not just Mary Geoise—at that moment, the massive steel ring encircling the planet trembled incessantly.
The swaying was like a child on a swing; neatly lined-up soldiers screamed in terror as they were flung high into the air, plummeting from tens of thousands of meters above.
High above Sabaody Archipelago, Caesar transformed into a golden-winged roc, carrying dozens of powerful individuals on his back as he soared upward, heading straight for Mary Geoise.
The tens of thousands of Revolutionary Army soldiers were not brought along by Caesar.
Together with the pirates of the Beast God Pirates, they had gone to other parts of the world to assist in disaster relief.
Mid-flight, Caesar's massive beak spewed a colossal pillar of frost toward the enormous ring.
Now over ten times stronger than before, the frost pillar he unleashed was as massive as a mountain.
The extreme cold instantly froze the air into thick layers of ice, encasing the rapidly spinning ring.
The violent shaking of Mary Geoise was triggered by this.
Yet, despite the immense freezing power, it still couldn't halt the thunderous, ceaseless rotation of the ring structure.
"Got it!"
Caesar's voice boomed like rolling thunder.
Then, the golden-winged roc's heaven-spanning wings, like a golden treasure blade stretching across the sky and earth, sliced fiercely through the void!
Clang!
A dazzling golden blade light tore through the firmament, instantly carving a massive gap in the enormous ring.
Inside the ring, countless gears as large as small hills shattered.
Immediately, the rapidly spinning giant ring emitted explosive cracking sounds.
The broken gears collided violently with each other, causing the massive ring to creak and produce a long trail of sparks.
"What incredibly hard metal!"
Caesar hadn't expected that, despite his current strength, he couldn't shatter this large circle in one blow.
Although it wasn't shattered, it seemed the ring had been destroyed by his single strike.
He could clearly see that the planetary energy that had been frantically draining suddenly stopped.
The massive ring now glowed with a scorching red light and billowed with thick black smoke.
However, in the Holy Land, the towering light beam projecting the celestial ladder into the void didn't cease, continuing to transmit signals deep into the cosmos.
In Mariejois, the Gorosei, no longer bothering to argue with Kong, all turned pale as they looked toward the direction of the Pangaea Castle.
Only when they saw the unmoving light beam did their tense expressions relax.
"Thank goodness! The celestial ladder remains uninterrupted."
In the distance, Kong was sent flying dozens of meters by the violent tremor, crashing through a building.
As he shook his head and climbed out of the rubble, he saw a golden bird's head, a kilometer in diameter, rising from the front of Mariejois!
This terrifying sight instantly made Kong feel incredibly small, as if gazing upon a great deity.
But the next moment, a chilling dread surged through him.
The massive golden bird head opened its maw and unleashed a pillar of freezing cold air toward Mariejois!
Whoosh!
The frigid air arrived with a terrifying storm, creating overwhelming pressure even for Nusjuro and the others.
"Attack!"
Nusjuro roared, swinging his Shodai Kitetsu to release a kilometer-long slash. The dark blade cut through space, shooting toward the incoming pillar of frost.
Topman, Saturn, Mars, and Ju Peter simultaneously joined the assault!
Five powerful auras, like towering columns of smoke, shot into the sky, piercing the heavens!
The Gorosei attacked together, their sword energies and fist winds colliding with the incoming frost pillar!
Boom!
The extravagantly constructed buildings of Mariejois instantly disintegrated under this terrifying impact, pulverized into dust by the violent collision.
Dust clouds rose across the Holy Land as the weaker soldiers, without even seeing their enemy, were all blown away, their bodies shattered by the horrific shockwaves!
Swish!
The sky-obscuring giant bird vanished, and Caesar's mountain-like figure descended from the sky. Taking the lead, he threw a punch at the horrified Vladimir!
"One of you dies first!"
Saturn's face flushed red, feeling deeply insulted by Caesar's targeting.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body, no less formidable than Dragon's!
He roared at the charging Caesar.
"I have comprehended the Destruction Rule...!"
Boom!
Caesar's table-sized fist crashed down on Saturn's body.
The terrifying force swept everything before it, like a hundred-thousand-meter mountain pressing down.
Bang!
Before the Gorosei, one of the highest authorities in this world, could finish speaking, he exploded mid-air into a shower of blood!
Caesar shook his fist and cast an indifferent glance at Nusjuro and the others.
"Destruction Rule again? Don't you know any other rules?"
