Chapter 1116: Suffering Endless Torment and a Tragic Death!
"ROOM!"
Im gathered a rapidly spinning white whirlwind in his palm.
When this whirlwind instantly bloomed in all directions, the originally eerie green space was dyed with a faint blue radiance.
If one were to look down from high altitude, they would see that the entire valley base was covered by a bowl-shaped blue light.
He himself had already closed his eyes, using his spirit to carefully perceive everything inside and outside the space.
He completely disregarded Shiki, who was still raging within the base, causing thousands of people throughout the base to tremble and feel unease.
However, in this 'Dimensional Space', those noisy sounds couldn't be heard, allowing Im to focus on the matter at hand.
In the depths of his mind, Im's consciousness delved into the mental world of his Sixth Sense, receiving various ineffable information brought by the Space-Space Fruit Ability.
After a moment, he perceived a relatively distinct 'point'.
To describe it, it was like noticing a 'star' twinkling in a chaotic Multiverse Chaos Sea of various colors.
It was very similar to the light spot that lights up on the Star Map whenever a Star Gate is opened.
That was the exact position of the opposite planet in the Multiverse Chaos Sea.
Before, Im might have found it difficult to distinguish.
But after learning the theoretical knowledge related to Ninja World incantation and space from Minato Namikaze, and then researching the technique formula of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he no longer just knew how to use his ability without understanding its underlying principle.
Take teleportation as an example. He used to only know that he could instantly appear at a certain point within his line of sight.
But he didn't know what this 'point' actually was, or how he got there during the process.
Now, he could clearly 'see' this 'point', knew what it actually was, and understood the process when he activated his ability.
Space Coordinate!
The so-called Chakra Mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique was essentially this thing.
It was just that it used a 'Rune Formula' to artificially create a fixed Space Coordinate, with Chakra responsible for empowering and activating it.
Why was the Flying Thunder God Technique difficult for many people to learn?
The main reason was that most people couldn't perceive the existence of Space Coordinates at all.
If they forcibly infused Chakra into a Flying Thunder God Kunai to activate the Technique Formula, there would only be two results.
One, the better outcome, was that the teleportation failed, and they remained in place.
Two, the worse outcome, was that their body was indeed teleported, but where it went and what it became was unknown.
In any case, they wouldn't appear at the position they intended.
This was the Space Perception Talent that Minato Namikaze had mentioned.
On this foundation, if one wanted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique multiple times consecutively, they also needed a sufficiently fast Nerve Reaction Speed.
On this point alone, Senju Tobirama was actually slightly inferior to Minato Namikaze.
And Im, from the moment he ate the Space Fruit, already possessed extremely high Space Perception Talent.
As for Nerve Reaction Speed...
Heh, he was a Colorless Haki cultivator and a Sword Saint.
Minato Namikaze might not even be stronger than him.
"No wonder, there's a fixed Space Coordinate here. The opposite side should be Yokosuka Port in the Nuclear World," Im thought to himself, his eyes still closed.
He perceived deep underground in the mountain range, on the surface of a giant Spirit Stone, a complex and beautiful circular formation was carved. Inside, besides various patterns, there were also Rune Script characters.
This should be the magic version of the Space Coordinate Formula.
Moreover, once activated by a Void Mage using the World Gate Spell, the Spirit Stone would also serve as an energy source.
This should be a thoughtful assistance prepared by the Magic Progenitor, Brimir, who was worried that future generations' mental power might not be sufficient to sustain the consumption of the Halkeginia Gate.
After all, this gate was prepared for the countless citizens of this world to escape, so it definitely needed to be kept open for a long time.
However, the other party would never have imagined that someone like himself, who wasn't a Void Mage but possessed the same 'Strong Space Perception Talent', would appear.
Speaking of which.
The human mages in this Familiar of Zero World seemed to each possess a certain degree of 'Space Perception Talent'.
This could be seen from their ability to successfully Summon Familiar as soon as they became apprentice.
Of course, from the perspective of randomness, they didn't possess the ability to independently search for spatial position or perceive specific Space Coordinates; it was purely a random summon based on prayer.
Im felt that this method was actually very risky.
What if someone summoned a powerful demon one day?
Of course, in the Canon, there was definitely no such risk...
"However, since Im doesn't know magic, he naturally cannot mobilize the magic power of the Spirit Stone. Therefore, the energy after activating this Halkeginia Gate needs to be borne by himself." Im thought to himself after finishing his research.
This was a problem.
He couldn't possibly stay here to provide energy the entire time the gate was open, or constantly be responsible for opening and closing it for his subordinates, could he?
Who was the BOSS anyway?!
Even if he held his nose and accepted it for the sake of conquering the Nuclear World.
But what about after the conquest?
Im felt this was a major problem that must be solved!
Of course, there were also benefits.
Since he had opened this Halkeginia Gate, its control was now in his hands, and he didn't need to rely too much on Void Mages like Louise and the others.
"Ah, that's right!"
Im suddenly had an idea.
"Since that 'Brimir' could grant the authority to 'open and close the gate' to the four Void Mages through the 'World Gate Spell', Im should be able to do the same."
His meaning was that the highest control authority of the Halkeginia Gate was in his hands.
But he could find someone to grant a lower level authority, solely responsible for helping to 'open' and 'close' the gate here.
And it would be best if they were a Void Mage, because they could mobilize the magic power of the Spirit Stone to continuously provide energy for the Halkeginia Gate.
Was there a candidate now?
Of course there was.
Although Louise and Tiffania had left, Joseph and Pope Vittorio were still here!
However, the person chosen would have to stay in this valley long-term, which was almost no different from prison.
"Let Vittorio do it first. Joseph seems to be doing some interesting things over there. Since he's a believer, he should have patience. When I catch Louise back later, I'll replace him with her and turn this place into her prison..."
Im had never thought of killing Louise, because her Void Magic Ability was the strongest.
Especially the magic for inter-world communication, which was of considerable utilization value to the current World Government.
For the World Government, whether something had utilization value and how great that value was, was the second standard for measuring a matter.
As for the first standard, it was his own will.
But Im also felt that he couldn't easily forgive Louise.
He had to make her feel awe towards the World Government and never dare to act so recklessly again.
So how to do it?
It was simple. Since Louise couldn't be killed, was difficult to confine, and was needed to work for the World Government, he would use the people she cared about most as a bond to restrain her mind.
That meant capturing them all back.
Then, imprison Hiraga Saito, Tiffania, and the others in Baltigo White Earth Prison.
At the same time, let them deeply feel the majesty and terror of the World Government inside.
What could the protagonist group do?
If Louise wasn't actually useful, they would have been directly thrown into Impel Down Great Prison.
Suffering endless torment, they would die tragically in a certain layer of hell!
Thinking of this, Im left first.
Because now was not the time to 'open the gate'.
Since it was decided to proceed with the operation two days later, they would stick to it.
This would also let everyone know that no accident could stop, or even delay, the World Government's advancing footwork and speed.
Because the ruler of the World Government was him, Im.
