Chapter 725: Poseidon, Poseidon!
Noah's Ark, Fifth Floor, Third Level of the Star Pressure Palace.
Six projection lights hanging from different positions on the ceiling turned the space within the red-lined area completely purple.
"Six hundred seventy-two, six hundred seventy-three, six hundred seventy-four..."
Lord Imu was bare-chested, letting his waist-length black hair cling to his sweat-drenched skin. He lay on the ground, rising and falling expressionlessly, while silently counting the number of push-ups in his mind.
Even in this fifteen-times Gravity environment, every one of his movements was executed without the slightest hint of cutting corners.
Even though his entire Body's Muscles and Bones were trembling with mournful cries.
Even though every inch of his Body felt intense Pain.
His Gaze remained as firm and indifferent as an Iceberg.
Conversely, his Heart was currently filled with Pleasure.
Because he could Understand the Potential within his Body being squeezed out little by little under the Effect of Gravity.
It was no wonder Garp, Bullet, and others had been spending so much time recently at the Army Headquarters' Gravity Training Hall. This Feeling of constantly growing stronger was indeed captivating.
He heard that in order to ensure their Bodies and Spirit received sufficient Rest, several people skilled in Martial Arts had Discussed it and decided to Train for one day and Rest for one day. At the same time, they strongly requested the World Government to quickly set up Gravity Training Halls at the Marine Headquarters and Air Force Headquarters as well.
In fact, even without them saying anything, the Academy of Science had already begun Mass-producing Equipment with different Gravity multiplier Restrictions.
The World Government's Requirement was for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Holy Four Armies, and CIPHER POL Headquarters to completely transition from traditional, Time-consuming, and Space-intensive Physical Training to the more efficient Gravity Training.
This also led to Issho's somewhat tragic situation, having to let the Academy of Science's Researchers come and Draw his Blood again and again.
As for Why he didn't Refuse.
This was thanks to the World Government not Forcing him to Participate in Otherworld Conquest.
This made Issho Grateful and willing to Cooperate in Manufacturing these Gravity Projection Equipment that could Enhance the Strength of the Whole Army.
It was also a way for him to Contribute his own Strength and Try to Ensure fewer of their Warriors were Sacrificed.
"Eight hundred twenty-one, eight hundred twenty-three, eight hundred twenty-four..."
Lord Imu gasped for breath, watching the large Sweat drops on his Forehead Fall onto the Floor, where they instantly turned into a Membrane clinging to the surface.
At this moment, his Skin was completely Red from the High Temperature.
Meanwhile.
Stussy had Appeared outside the Red-lined Area at some point.
She Quietly Watched Lord Imu Complete Standard Push-up after Standard Push-up under the fifteen-times Gravity that felt like Hell.
However, her Line of Sight slowly Shifted to the Perfect Muscle definition on Lord Imu's Upper Body, and a Look of infatuation gradually Appeared in her Azure Eyes.
As Time passed.
When Lord Imu Completed his one thousandth Push-up, he slowly Stood up in the Hazy Purple Space.
The next second, with a Whoosh, the Remote Control Instantly Appeared in his Hand.
As the Gravity Training Ground System was Shut down, the Surrounding Light quickly Returned to normal.
"What did Dorothea Say? What does she Want?"
Lord Imu Allowed Ubuyashiki Hinaki and Nichika Ubuyashiki, who had Walked over, to Wipe the Sweat from his Body with White Towels, while Calmly Looking at Stussy.
It was still the same sentiment: he didn't Believe Dorothea would Dare to Refuse Equivalent Exchange with him.
"Researcher Dorothea Said she Wants Immortality. She also Said that if you can Grant her Eternal Life and Allow her to Learn Infinite Knowledge, she is Willing to be a Loyal dog to the Celestial Dragons Forever and ever."
"Heh heh."
Lord Imu Chuckled after Hearing this.
This Dorothea's Statement was Quite interesting.
She wasn't Loyal to the World Government, but Specifically Emphasized Loyalty to the Celestial Dragons.
This Indicated that she was Willing to Do Anything for the Celestial Dragons.
Even Things that were Evil and Forbidden.
"Have you Learned what Rank of Alchemist Dorothea Currently is, and which Domain of Alchemy she is Skilled in?"
Lord Imu Put on the White Robe Handed to him by Ubuyashiki Kanata and Walked to the Edge of the Floor, Admiring Historia, the Queen of the Eldians, who was Training Diligently in the Gravity Field Below.
This Queen of the Eldians was Truly Pushing herself to Become Stronger, just so she could Win a Match Against him Sooner.
As for Esdeath.
She Clearly Preferred to Go to Hong Lian's Territory to Cultivate Natural Energy.
Then, Every six days, she would Come here For two Eight-hour Physical Training Sessions.
"Reporting, Lord Imu, According to the Alchemy Kingdom's Rating Standard, Researcher Dorothea, who can Perform Transmutation of Substances of the same Element, Should be an Intermediate Alchemist."
"As for her Research Domain, Researcher Dorothea is Extremely Skilled in Biological Modification. She can Merge People and other Creatures into one, Or Give People the Organs of other Creatures."
"The Angel Race Creation Plan you Proposed has already been Transferred to this Researcher Dorothea by Director Fritz to be in Charge of."
Stussy Recounted the Intelligence From The Empire and the Biological Research Institute In detail.
"Oh?"
Lord Imu Became interested upon Hearing the Words 'Angel Race'.
It Seemed that the Sky Islanders of this World Would soon Possess Real Wings.
Good news!
However, Dorothea's Alchemy Level was a bit Low, Making it difficult for her to Complete the Missions He would Assign her in the Future.
This Should be Related to her Escaping the Alchemy Kingdom in her Early years.
The Empire Might have had Many Senior Alchemists and a Large number of Alchemy Books A thousand years ago.
But Now, she was the Only Alchemist.
This Showed How much the Successive Emperors had Neglected Alchemy.
Of course.
It was also Possible that the Alchemy Kingdom was Intentionally Preventing Alchemists and Alchemy Knowledge From Flowing into The Empire.
"Order the Five Elders To Fully Cultivate Dorothea and Have her Reach Senior Alchemist As soon as possible. Also, Tell Dorothea that When she is Promoted to Senior Alchemist, She will Gain Immortality."
Lord Imu Felt that the Celestial Dragons Indeed Needed Such an Alchemist who was Willing to Do Dark deeds.
As for the Immortality He mentioned, It would Naturally be Giving her a Pure Gold Ring.
"Yes!"
Stussy Nodded In response, Then Took out a Small box From her Pocket and Said softly, "Lord Imu, These are the Philosopher's Stone Fragments In Dorothea's Possession."
"Okay."
Lord Imu Casually waved his Hand, and the Box In her Hand Instantly Disappeared.
However, It didn't Appear Before him, But was Transferred to his Bedroom.
This way, He could Test the Specific Effect of the Philosopher's Stone.
Next, He had to Think about What to do with it.
"Oh right, How are Things Going with Relocating those Super Dangerous Beasts To this World?"
Lord Imu, Followed by the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters, Walked out the Back door of the Star Pressure Palace.
"The Five Elders Have already Dispatched the CP0 Squad Led by Redfield To the Imperial Arms World To Invite Them."
Stussy Followed behind, While Answering softly.
"What about the Places Arranged for Them?"
"'Divine Dragon' Shen He Is tentatively assigned to the White Sea, 'Poseidon' Heimalin Is tentatively assigned to the New World, and 'Arlong' Bulat Is tentatively assigned to the Arctic Continent. Do you See Any Adjustment Need?"
Lord Imu Stopped and Looked at Stussy With Doubt. "That Great Marlin's Epithet Is 'Poseidon'?"
"Yes."
Stussy Nodded Obediently.
"Heimalin Is the Strongest Ocean Danger Beast In the Imperial Arms World. Because it Likes To move in groups with Marlin-type Danger Beasts."
"So For hundreds of years, the Shenhe Island Nation Has always Regarded it as the 'King of the Great Sea', And Heimalin Also likes To call himself 'This King'."
Lord Imu Was Speechless After Hearing this.
Well now.
The 'Poseidon' of this World Hasn't even been born yet, And an 'Otherworld's Poseidon' Has already arrived.
But Thinking about it carefully, It's Quite interesting...
Speaking of which.
There are Quite a few 'Poseidons' In the Myriad Worlds.
In the Future, Who knows how many 'Poseidons' There might be In the Great Sea of this World~~
It's Truly Exciting!
