Chapter 1048
Chapter 1036: Im's Celestial Dragon Realm!
The addition of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha seemed to have put the Ninja World on fast forward.
Half a month after they entered the Titan World through the Star Gate and witnessed the terrifying military might of the World Government.
Sakazuki, whose injuries had fully healed, once again walked out of the Star Gate and arrived at the familiar Lou Lan City.
On his shoulder sat a red-haired gorilla about fifty centimeters tall, resembling a plush toy with four thick tails.
It was Four-Tails Son Goku!
It was unclear how Sakazuki had convinced him not to go to the 'Little Garden' on the World for the time being.
In any case, Four-Tails Son Goku didn't seem to have been forced.
He seemed to like Sakazuki very much, letting out hearty laughs from time to time.
He seemed to have forgotten his previous Jinchuriki, Roshi, and didn't even suggest going back to Stone Village for a visit.
In the Underground Palace of Lou Lan City, a Grand Admiral from the Army Headquarters and a Tailed Beast began their long-term stationing.
The ninjas responsible for guarding the outside and prohibiting others from entering could only vaguely see the faint purple light emanating from within.
Another half a month passed.
Crocodile, who had stayed in the World Hospital in the Titan World for over a month, finally had his injuries healed with the investment of medical resources regardless of cost, and he received permission from Dean Marco to be discharged.
Crocodile immediately put on the new suit and Coat of Justice prepared for him.
Under the countless gazes of awe within the hospital, he turned into a sandstorm and left.
He had heard that Shukaku had returned to the World, so he wanted to go to Alabasta.
He had promised to be partners back then...
Finally, Hong Lian was successfully discharged five days later.
The people who came to greet her were Akame, Tsunade, and twelve Balters Royal Guards.
Because Esdeath had been ordered by Im not to leave Noah's Ark without permission again, having learned her lesson once, Esdeath no longer dared to disobey. Instead, she shut herself in the Star Pressure Palace and cultivated frantically.
She truly detested her own weakness!
And that woman named Stussy actually possessed strength that left her helpless!
Whether it was her frost or her slash, they would rapidly shrink before the opponent.
That shrinkage wasn't just a reduction in volume, but also included the diminishment of temperature, strength, speed, weight, impact force, and other aspects.
Huge ice cubes rolling with cold air would turn into small ice spheres only fit for putting in cold drinks!
Blade light sharp enough to cut steel would still become a palm-sized phantom image, brittle as a biscuit, and easily flicked away by the opponent's finger!
And in melee combat, Esdeath's swordsmanship, when facing Stussy's martial arts, also didn't gain any advantage in a short period. One must know that she was an Animal-Type Ability User.
This was because Stussy's Two Colors of Haki level was quite a bit stronger than Esdeath's current level, enough to compensate for a certain gap in physical strength.
Moreover, she also had the 'Blood Collection. Rapid Absorption' granted by Im.
This was an Imperial Arms installed in the mouth.
It allowed for self-healing and improvement of overall physical ability through bloodsucking.
Therefore, even if the combat time was prolonged, Stussy wasn't necessarily at a disadvantage.
This naturally stimulated Esdeath's nerves even more!
Because she had always thought she was the strongest woman on Noah's Ark...
Oh, not counting Hong Lian. Although she had eaten the Human-Human Fruit and theoretically should also be called a human.
But her main body was still a Super Dangerous Beast after all.
As for Historia, one could only say she was decent. At least she had mastered the Two Colors of Haki very well.
However, ever since Im lifted the Labor Sentence for the Eldians and allowed them to resume Founding a Nation, she clearly had no interest in cultivation.
Im didn't care either, as long as The Rumbling was in her hands.
Returning to Hong Lian.
She surprisingly didn't choose to return to Noah's Ark with Akame and Tsunade. Instead, she proposed the idea of returning to the World alone to see the scenery.
And also to see Shen He and Heimalin, especially Shen He, whom she really missed...
Tsunade and Akame couldn't stop her and could only helplessly return on their own, reporting Hong Lian's matter to Esdeath.
But Esdeath actually couldn't force Hong Lian either.
According to Im's intention, Hong Lian's identity was that of Noah's Ark's Guardian Deity.
So the only one who could order her was Im.
Then Hong Lian directly called Stussy, requesting her to relay the message to Lord Imu when he returned.
This way, she wouldn't be considered to have left without permission.
Because Im had already let Stussy temporarily manage the matters on the Ark...
Two months later.
In Ryūchi Cave, one of the Three Great Sage Regions in the Ninja World.
At this time, on the vast, pale earth, one hill of piled bones after another seemed to have undergone no significant changes, except for their surfaces becoming covered in bloodstains.
Besides that, the group of snakes that were previously killing each other had disappeared without a trace.
They hadn't all died. Instead, after being subdued by Kukulkan, they were ordered to enter Gate Giant Oimo's Door-Door Space to wait.
Kukulkan, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the ground with a black-scaled snake nearly ten meters long, quietly waiting for Lord Imu's awaken.
And this black snake was the snake he had carefully observed and deemed to have the best potential, thus saving it.
Otherwise, this black snake would have surely died in the previous melee.
In that case, even the best talent would have been meaningless.
These summoned snakes cultivating Sage Jutsu in Ryūchi Cave possessed intelligence that allowed for normal communication with humans, and naturally understood this principle.
So one could see that this black snake's gaze towards Kukulkan was filled with reverence and gratitude.
At the same time, it felt even greater awe towards that Master's Master in the high altitude.
Because its Master said that before the Master's Master, the White Snake Sage was nothing at all.
Those Golden Giants who captured the White Snake Sage before were the Master's Master's Royal Guard!
So powerful... so terrifying... The black snake named Mamba trembled.
[Boom!!!]
Just at this instant.
Kukulkan and the black snake Mamba, only felt a deafening thunder explode overhead.
However.
This was merely caused by the aura that burst forth from Im's body when he opened his eyes.
The overly fierce aura instantly formed a surging gale visible to the naked eye in the air.
Im, however, was not bothered at all by the commotion he had caused.
Instead, his eyes shining brightly, he stared at the markings on the back of his right hand that were blooming with white light.
It was the Five-Circle Cross representing the World Government!
Originally, he wanted to design the space imprint as the Celestial Dragons' symbol, the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark.
But then he thought that only the Celestial Dragons' slaves used to have this imprinted on their bodies, so he gave up the idea.
Now, it was the moment to witness a miracle!
"Celestial Dragon Realm, Absorb!"
Im let out a slightly excited soft cry.
The gold-edged white robe on his body fluttered in the gale.
But none of this could conceal the bright white light on the back of his right hand.
At the same time, the entire space of Ryūchi Cave began to distort like water.
Even Kukulkan, the black snake Mamba, and the countless pale bones on the ground were greatly distorted.
But neither the former nor the latter felt any suffering, nor did they suffer the slightest harm or destruction.
Kukulkan only felt the scene before his eyes spinning around.
Then he discovered that his body, along with the surrounding distorted environment, was rapidly sucked into the white light imprint on Lord Imu's hand, like flowing water.
Finally, Ryūchi Cave disappeared.
Im was as if he were in the dark space of the universe without any starlight.
Only the faint blue light emitted by the ROOM maintained around him provided him with illumination.
A moment later, Im entered the gate that generated out of thin air before him.
Leaving this place completely in a deathly silence and absolute darkness.
On the other side.
Im, who had reappeared in a certain place in the high altitude of the Ninja World, still kept his excited gaze focused on the Five-Circle Cross imprint on the back of his right hand, which was no longer glowing.
"Finally, I have a portable space belonging to Im..."
Yes, that Ryūchi Cave, oh no, now renamed the Celestial Dragon Realm Subspace, was right within this small space imprint.
He could enter and exit freely at any time, and could also put in or take out anything, including living beings!
The addition of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha seemed to have put the Ninja World on fast forward.
Half a month after they entered the Titan World through the Star Gate and witnessed the terrifying military might of the World Government.
