Chapter 654: A Drop of Typhon's Blood
"Former Marine?"
Monster Paradise, a palace where savagery and splendor were perfectly combined.
The residence of the "King of Monsters" Typhon.
Typhon raised his head slightly, looking at Ulquiorra standing before him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, we've looked into it.
Based on the intelligence from the Big Mom Pirates, it can basically be confirmed that this Marine Rear Admiral has betrayed the Marines and has a bounty of one billion Beli placed on him by the World Government in the Underworld."
"Furthermore, he seems to have killed a Celestial Dragon."
Speaking of this, even the usually indifferent Ulquiorra showed a slight change in expression.
In just a few days, Atox had been on a rampage in the Arena of Monster Paradise.
He engaged in fierce fighting with wild beasts, one-on-one combat with other Odd Persons, and even brutal melees involving ten or thirty people where only one victor could emerge.
In just a few days, Atox plundered a large amount of mutation power through killing.
The mutant blood in his body, as Atox continued his killing, contained greater strength.
A mysterious power promoted the transformation of Atox's body, and the overbearing will belonging to Typhon, hidden within the mutant blood, influenced him.
As Typhon's strength grew and his Devil Fruit underwent further development, the power contained within his blood was undoubtedly becoming stronger and stronger.
Atox, wielding "Godslayer," became a focal point the moment he arrived at Monster Paradise.
He already possessed Marine Vice Admiral level combatant strength and was proficient in two-color Haki.
Against the Odd Persons who could only become stronger by relying on Typhon's blood, he naturally held a clear advantage.
And Atox, who had awakened his killing intent, became more familiar with this killing intent through continuous killing and the use of the cursed sword Godslayer.
It was believed that it wouldn't take long for him to fully master it.
Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was stationed at the Monster Colosseum.
As for Meruem and Ulquiorra, they acted freely.
In Monster Paradise, there was no need for a fixed garrison force.
No one could do anything under the nose of the Monster Legion.
And the strength of the Monster Legion had been fully exhibited during the previous bloody battle.
"In just these few days, we've lost over three hundred people.
Do we need to warn him?"
Ulquiorra didn't actually care about Atox's actions, or even the sacrifice of the Monster Legion.
But he knew that the Marines were enemies.
Even a traitor should not be allowed to lower one's guard.
"Hehe! Why would we do that?"
Typhon grinned, a rare flash of excitement in his eyes.
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting fellow."
"Can we confirm that this guy is destined to drink the monster blood?"
Typhon asked.
"Yes, he drank it voluntarily."
Everything in the Core Area of Monster Paradise was basically under the control of Monster Paradise.
Especially those mysterious intelligence Odd Persons, they were not pushovers.
"Then it's fine, Ulquiorra.
After he kills a thousand people, give him this."
Saying this, Typhon extended his finger, and a drop of fresh blood condensed, then dripped into Ulquiorra's palm.
The blood quickly solidified in the air, its surface like a crystal.
It was as beautiful and dazzling as amber.
And within this amber crystal flowed the blood that all Odd Persons with monster blood in their bodies instinctively craved.
This was undiluted monster blood, containing enormous mutation power.
Though called a drop of blood, it was actually the size of a lychee.
Seeing this, Ulquiorra was truly surprised.
His King, the "King of Monsters" Typhon, advocated for the victor to be king, hoping that others could rise and enhance the mutation power within them through their own effort and killing.
Because only this way could true Strongmen be born.
Regal Mammoth was a monster shaped by continuous devouring in the Beast Zone.
In another area of Beast Island, the humanoid wild boar "Pig Head Emperor," who also possessed overlord's might, had come all the way like this.
Although not as powerful as Regal Mammoth, he had already caught Typhon's eye.
The "Pig Head Emperor," who already held ruling status, would not be shaken.
He just needed some time to grow into a true monster.
Of course, Typhon hadn't always refrained from personally intervening.
During the bloody battle, Typhon also had some gain.
The reward from the Flying Pirates, a massive quantity of Beast Island, also allowed Typhon to have more resources to cultivate powerful wild beasts.
A three-headed serpent of considerable strength received Typhon's intervention.
While being granted a large amount of monster blood, blood from "King of the Beasts" Kaido and "Tyrant Dragon" Zack was also added.
Using the lineage factor of a mythical beast as a medium to promote evolution.
This was something he had secretly collected on the battlefield.
However, upon careful thought, it was also reasonable.
Since he had already exhibited potential, it was natural to help him go further, which could save a lot of time.
Moreover, just a portion of blood was not a big deal.
Typhon had invested an unknown amount in the birth of several monsters like Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.
The favored three-headed serpent already possessed overlord potential and had ruled an area.
Its competitors, those who could contend with it, had already become its food.
"Yes, my King!"
Ulquiorra bowed his head respectfully.
"In a few days, you will come with me to Paros Island for a trip.
You should be interested in the Sword Tournament, Ulquiorra.
Although the chance of becoming the World's Strongest Swordsman is very small, you can go have some fun."
The contention in the New World had not yet begun.
Even if it did, it wouldn't involve the Monster Legion.
With the start of the Great Pirate Era, the territory of the Big Mom Pirates also became chaotic.
Despite occupying such a vast Sea Area, it still couldn't change the fact that the Big Mom Pirates' ruling power was weak.
A small portion of the core sea area was naturally impregnable, but the Big Mom Pirates found it difficult to reach the outer Sea Areas.
Many islands merely had a flag planted on them.
Currently, many territories in the outer areas were suffering invasion from other newly emerged Pirate Crews.
The start of the Great Pirate Era directly exposed this flaw of the Big Mom Pirates.
It made the Big Mom Pirates' territory a target for numerous Pirate Crews.
Even some strong Great Pirates had set their sights on the Big Mom Pirates' territory.
The New World was only that big, and a large area of territory would undoubtedly attract the coveting of others.
And the indifference of the "King of Monsters" Typhon further facilitated such a situation.
For Typhon and the Big Mom Pirates, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
These territories were conquered by Typhon back then.
It was precisely because they had two super monsters, Typhon and Charlotte Linlin, that other Factions dared not compete with the Big Mom Pirates under this powerful deterrence.
The development of the Big Mom Pirates had been too smooth.
A comfortable environment was extremely disadvantageous for a Pirate Crew.
Therefore, Typhon did not pay attention to it.
This could bring sufficient training to the Big Mom Pirates, especially his younger siblings.
