Chapter 992: The Sage of Six Paths' Attitude!
He might not have known either.
He had only been gone for about ten days, yet it made the Five Elders miss him so much.
If he knew, he should be able to guess that this was because the Five Elders lacked safety.
Since opening the Star Gate and embarking on the path of multiversal conquest, the World Government was actually like a large ship sailing through the myriad worlds and the vast star sea.
Everything around was darkness, mysterious, and full of danger.
And Imu was the captain of this large ship. He used the 'Star Gate' to guide the direction forward, and his own 'prophecy' to unravel the mystery of each otherworld.
At the same time, his powerful strength gave all the 'crewmates' who knew of his existence ample security, like a bright light illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Although the illuminated range wasn't very large, it allowed the Five Elders to calmly handle any situation.
But now the 'captain' was suddenly gone.
This would definitely cause discomfort, not to mention that Imu wasn't in the human world, but had gone to the realm of the dead.
Netherworld!
In the past few days, Stussy had been guarding Imu's body at all times with the Kuja Guards, not even allowing Empress Historia to enter the inner hall.
This naturally drew dissatisfaction from Historia.
But in Stussy's view, whether it was the 'Absolute Freedom Order' for the Titan World or the previous 'Labor Order' for the Eldians, both were judgments personally issued by Lord Imu.
Then, as the queen of the Titan World people and the Eldians, Historia might harbor dissatisfaction towards Lord Imu.
Although the possibility was very low, and Lord Imu might have made some defense before his soul left, Stussy was unwilling to gamble even on a one-in-a-thousand chance.
Even if it meant offending this Heavenly Empress!
So if Historia dared to barge in, Stussy would truly dare to stop her.
Anyway, before Lord Imu's return, only she could stand by his side.
Even when the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters were wiping Imu's body, Stussy kept her eyes fixed on them.
Normally, it wouldn't matter, but in the current situation, she had to be cautious.
These four young girls were now all Devil Fruit Users, and strictly speaking, they posed a certain threat to Imu's body.
Moreover, they were also otherworlders, so they needed to be treated carefully.
That's right, even if Esdeath returned, Stussy would still have people stop her.
At worst, it would just be a fight!
She's not weak now, okay?
On the other side, Imu, who was in the Sea Star Underworld, naturally didn't know about this.
Because he had long stored seven trigger-based alchemy arrays using spatial power in the 'Stigma Markings' on the back of his left hand.
Which was the 'Sephirothic Tree of Life Diagram'.
No matter what kind of attack his body suffered from the outside, including special abilities that contain the power of rules, the corresponding alchemy array would activate its defense.
Honestly, this Stigma Alchemy was indeed convenient and easy to use, and the spatial power brought by the Op-Op Fruit maximized this convenience.
Otherwise, he would have to draw a large number of formulas, writing, and patterns on the surface of his skin, which would look very strange, unsightly, and most importantly, too troublesome.
It was just that his current amount of knowledge was far less than that of Dean Isaac, so the things he could do were all very basic.
However, due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
His mental power was far stronger than Dean Isaac's, so the effective range of the alchemy array was also much larger than the opponent's.
The alchemy that Imu performed in Rōran previously transformed the desert within a nearly thousand-kilometer radius into soil suitable for vegetation.
Dean Isaac absolutely could not do this!
At the same time.
The Netherworld of the Ninja World.
Oh, it's called the Pure Land here. Let's just call it the Ninja World Pure Land from now on.
"Finally, please be assured of the World Government's sincerity and commitment to friendly cooperation with your esteemed party. The arrival of the World Government will surely bring a better future to the Ninja World, and we will also resolutely counterattack anyone who attempts to harm the Ninja World!"
Inside the main hall of the Shinobi Sect.
A middle-aged man with waist-length golden hair and a distinctly British demeanor looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who was seated cross-legged on the platform, with a resolute gaze and said in a deep voice.
He was the diplomatic representative sent by Yama.
Willy Tybur!
He was the actual ruler of the Former Marley Kingdom of the Titan World, the supreme ruler behind the scenes, and the current head of the Tybur Family.
At that time, relying on his excellent social skills, personal charisma, and superb eloquence, he was respected by the world nations and was well-acquainted with political figures from various nations.
He could be said to be the most talented individual in the Titan World!
And now, after death, Willy Tybur had become an official under Yama.
He no longer had any reservations about working for the World Government.
Furthermore, his two daughters and three sons from his previous life were now living very well on Paradis Island, or rather, Historia took great care of them, and Historia was also the Heavenly Empress of the World Government.
Moreover, he also had relatives in this Netherworld.
His younger sister.
Who was the latest generation's 'War Hammer Titan Host', Lara Tybur.
Therefore, Willy Tybur had already accepted and grown accustomed to life in the Netherworld.
He had just conveyed the World Government's goodwill to Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, who was sitting beside him, with a very wonderful speech and touching sincerity.
"This old man is very pleased with the World Government's attitude and looks forward to further contact with the World Government, but we will still need to discuss things after your esteemed party has completely eliminated King Yama and taken over the authority of your Netherworld."
"The only promise this old man can give you now is that we will not interfere in the combat between you and King Yama. After all, there are also quite a few matters on the Ninja World side that require our attention."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's mood towards the World Government was currently very complex.
He couldn't say he welcomed them, but after listening to Willy Tybur's words, he also had no malice. At the same time, he was full of curiosity about the Star Gate controlled by the World Government.
So he actually quite wanted to chat with the higher-ups of the World Government.
Of course, the premise was that the World Government would not wantonly slaughter the Ninja World citizens.
"As for those captives, let's talk about them later. After all, they are considered King Yama's subordinates, not the World Government's subordinates, right?"
"Alright, then I shall take my leave." Willy Tybur didn't insist either, maintaining his demeanor and etiquette as he slowly departed.
Although it was a bit regrettable, according to this Sage of Six Paths.
Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban, Kozuki Oden, and other top experts who came with King Yama had already died in combat at the hands of the opponent's own brother, Otsutsuki Hamura.
Only the 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger was spared due to Madara Uchiha's intervention.
Because Lord Yama had asked him to inquire about the situation of these few people upon her arrival.
She truly couldn't bear to lose these top-tier combatants.
And the good news was that apart from the living dead like those from Kabaneri, and low-level demons who couldn't control their killing desire, all had been completely eliminated.
Most of the mid-level combatants were alive and well, such as those who were Marine Officers in their previous lives, or experts from the Giant Tribe, or Yoriichi Tsugikuni from the Demon Slayer World and some of the former Twelve Kizuki.
Among them, Kaigaku and Gyokko from the 'Upper Rank' died in combat, while among the 'Lower Rank', only Rui survived.
It's just that to get them back, a certain price would likely need to be paid.
In any case, this was the deeper meaning Willy Tybur heard from Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
However, this was normal. If it were him, he wouldn't give them away for free either.
Moreover, the purpose of this trip wasn't to get these captives back.
But rather to stabilize the Sage of Six Paths and at the same time eliminate his aversion towards the World Government.
