Chapter 1408: Attack of the God of the Void!
The opposite side of the Space Gate was still the Hill of Alnus.
This place still had many facilities built by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Army Headquarters of the Star Realm Army.
When migrating the residents of the Farmart World previously, these buildings served as excellent temporary residences.
Of course, due to the migration of the populace from two continents.
So the ninja and mages expanded the area and built many houses outwards.
However, it now appeared very deserted, as the Great Migration had already ended.
Only a group of sea ninja from the Sand Village Internal Affairs Unit remained, accompanied by toads from Mount Myoboku, absorbing natural energy here to create immortal talismans one by one.
Yes, the World Government had actually begun to squeeze the remaining value out of the Farmart World long ago.
And now Im wanted to utilize it further, or rather, was competing with the God of the Void for energy.
\[Attention, a High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy Existence is currently observing you.]
\[Warning, a High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy Existence is attempting to invade your spirit. It has been Isolated according to the Setting. Do you wish to open the Isolation? (Yes/No)]
"No!"
Im, who had just entered the Farmart World less than a minute ago, heard the Star Map's warning.
He didn't hesitate at all and immediately flashed back to the Nuclear World.
At the same time.
Over at the Hill of Alnus, a chunin's eyes suddenly burst with white light.
Immediately, under the astonished gaze of the surrounding people, he transformed into an incredibly fast light beam and rushed towards the Space Gate.
But just as he was about to reach the Space Gate, the Space Gate vanished without a trace.
Before he could feel anger.
He saw another Space Gate appear not far away, its outline emitting starlight, but its size was much smaller.
This caused him to transform into white light again and rush over.
However, this time, ninja had already reacted and successively used Body Flicker Technique, forming a surround from all directions.
"Stop!"
"Kariya Chunin, what are you doing!"
"No, he's being controlled! Make a move immediately!"
Ninja belonging to the Sand Village Internal Affairs Unit quickly assessed the situation.
"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
"Water Release: Water Whip!"
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
Because they speculated that Kariya Chunin's consciousness was being controlled, no one used ninjutsu with lethal effect.
For a moment.
A stone wall rose in front of the Kariya Chunin with glowing eyes, a slender water flow attacked from the left, and a black shadow on the ground behind him to the right rapidly extended like a snake.
Yet he ignored these, his white light manifestation piercing through the Earth Release: Earth Wall and the ninja casting the technique behind it in the blink of an eye, continuing to rush towards the Small Stargate that had just formed.
"Uh..."
That ninja lowered his head in horror and saw a large blood hole appear on his chest.
Through it, he could even see the scene behind him.
And on the Earth Release: Earth Wall in front of him, a cave entrance with incredibly smooth edges also appeared.
This scene made the other ninja who arrived successively gasp in cold air.
They had seen very clearly just now that the white light Kariya Chunin transformed into met no obstruction at all when it touched the stone wall, nor did any sound occur.
"It looks very much like the Tsuchikage... No, Lord Tsuchikage's Dust Release..."
A ninja from Stone Village present whispered softly.
On the other side.
Kariya Chunin, enveloped in white light, was bounced back just as he was about to enter the Small Stargate.
This caused an expression of shock and anger to appear on his face, but it was immediately followed by a hint of nervousness and scruple.
At this time, more and more ninja and toads surrounded him.
But the white light in Kariya Chunin's eyes quickly dissipated until he fell into a coma with a 'bang'.
\[Hint: Successfully prevented a High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy Existence from passing through the 'Farmart World Small Stargate'.]
Over in the Nuclear World, Im received another reminder from the Star Map.
At the same time, through the 'Small Stargate''s built-in function to observe a hundred-meter radius, he witnessed everything that just happened on the opposite side.
Did the God of the Void first attempt to invade his consciousness, and after failing, went to control a ninja to continue pursuing him? Or did he want to talk about something with him?
Regardless of what it was, Im did not intend to have contact with him.
He was the Lord of the World Government, and the purpose of his conquest of worlds was rule, while the purpose of this God of the Void was World Devouring.
The two sides had no basis for cooperation at all.
However, his personality didn't seem too malicious; at least he didn't kill all the ninja and toads left there out of anger.
"Phew—, thankfully I closed Imu's Space Gate in time, otherwise if he had really rushed in, this Nuclear World would probably have suffered terribly..."
Im scanned the surrounding tall buildings and the clear blue Ginza sky above his head, feeling emotional.
Because the Space Gate he created using his Space-Space Fruit Ability did not have the effect of obstruction against High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy Existences like the Star Gate did.
However, the purpose of this adventure was achieved.
Im looked at the newly lit starlight on the Star Map and smiled slightly.
This way, he could absorb the planet energy of the Farmart World through the 'Small Stargate' and transfer it to the Sea Star, making it stronger and its magic power more abundant.
However, if this behavior were discovered, it would clearly further provoke the God of the Void.
But since he had already offended him, why be polite?
If it weren't for the value of the Farmart World, it wouldn't be enough for him to consume upgrade opportunities.
He even wanted to directly upgrade the Star Gate to Intermediate Level, or even High Rank.
To drain the Farmart World's energy in advance right in front of the God of the Void.
To let him experience what impotent anger feels like.
If you 'eat' slowly, then don't 'eat' at all! I'll 'eat' it all up!
Im, having safely avoided danger, returned to Noah's Ark in the Ninja World with the Guardian Giant and Gate Giant.
Along the way, he was also thinking if he could absorb planet energy from other worlds as well?
This was greed.
Since he had already absorbed one world, why couldn't he absorb a second, or a third?
For example, the Demon Slayer World, Familiar of Zero World, Nuclear World, Giant World...
But this would definitely affect the planets of these worlds.
For example, their lifespan would shorten, or they might lose the possibility of continued evolution, or even cause the environment to gradually worsen.
The Sea Star, on the other hand, would benefit greatly; more energy would certainly lead to its comprehensive improvement.
But as the saying goes, Im's purpose was not destruction, but rule.
So he still needed to give this matter more thought.
For now, let's first see the effect of absorbing the Farmart World's energy.
"Lord Imu, I have prepared a preliminary plan for the order of the Summit War. Would you like to review it for any adjustments?"
Not long after returning to Noah's Ark.
Im received a report from Zambaron V. Nasujuro Saint.
At the same time, he saw the document sent by the other party on the holographic virtual image of the 'Star Den Den Mushi'.
Unlike the Top 100 Competition, the Summit War was an internal military challenge mechanism, so it would not be publicly broadcast externally.
"Oh?"
"Is the first group Ay challenging Hashirama Senju? Not bad, it's quite something to look forward to."
Im smiled after seeing the list on the first line.
It was likely that Nasujuro thought their combat wouldn't last too long, so he arranged it as the first battle.
That's fine, it's quite interesting.
"Let's go with this then."
"Yes, Lord Imu..."
