Chapter 504: The Decaying Monster
Chapter 504: The Decaying Monster
The curved shape of the bull's horns was so exquisite that even the Devil himself would likely praise its beauty. The lower half of its body boasted six massive spider legs adorned with cloud patterns, standing at a towering height of about six to seven meters. Its width was even more impressive than its height, exuding an intimidating aura.
Hmm!
A crimson flash flickered in Sage's eyes, and the Tyrant Aura emanated from within him, forming a black and red torrent that clashed with the dark aura emanating from Satan.
"It's our first meeting, and I never thought I'd see you old folks who have always been hiding up there. You came here exuding the Tyrant Aura, the highest authority of the World Government. So, you do have the qualifications."
Sage chuckled coldly, "Science Defense Deity? Have you come to the wrong place? There's only gambling and gold here, no technology. Also, I don't like the title 'Deity'. That title should belong to me."
He wasn't familiar with the Council of Five, but since there were titles, it meant that the Council did have some division of responsibilities.
Science and defense had nothing to do with this place, no matter what.
And what about that so-called 'Deity'?
At most, with the awakening of the animal system, a beast species could become a deity?
Satan spoke calmly, "Our duties may differ, but our goals are the same. Norton Sage, I originally thought that among all the pirates, you were the one we trusted the most. However, we are very disappointed with your recent treatment of the Sky People."
Among the Four Emperors, let's not talk about Red Hair due to his special circumstances. Whether it's Kaido or Big Mom, those old pirates who have been around for years, or the newly emerged Blackbeard, they are all forces that can shake the chaos of the sea.
Only Sage, because of his excessive desires, has left traces to follow.
No matter how much noise he makes on the high seas, whether it's about population or some strange economic development, to those at the top, it's the safest and most harmless.
Because of time.
Just like this Gran Tazolo now, decades ago, this ship didn't exist, and there wasn't any absolute neutral zone. Decades later, the prosperity of this ship also came to an abrupt end due to external intervention.
No matter how prosperous or influential the intervening years were, what difference does it make?
How long can mortals live?
Eighty years? A hundred years?
No matter how vast or wealthy Norton Sage's new Ohara territory is, it will eventually decline and fade with his disappearance. It will either perish or become a member state.
Given enough time, anything is possible. The only certainty is whether these people will affect the foundation of the World Government's rule.
Even Sage, who had killed one or two Sky People, didn't matter to them.
Even if he had recently killed Big Mom, annexed her territory, and expanded his influence, they wouldn't care.
Not even the Rocks in the past could make them take action, let alone Sage now.
But that attitude...
"Lacking reverence."
Satan said indifferently, "We gave you the conditions. As long as you follow our instructions, no one will come after you. You can just be a pirate in the New World. But you didn't follow our instructions, so we predict that you won't spare the Sky People either."
"A being like you, if we simply send a Navy Admiral to deal with you, it's unlikely to yield any results. It will only inflate your reputation. So, I've come personally to teach you what reverence is."
"Norton Sage, revering the divine is the way to live a long life."
"Hahaha! Do you think you're a deity? The stench of decay is overwhelming!"
Sage revealed a sinister smile, "Or do you think you can handle me?"
"Your words are not the goal. Teaching you a lesson is what we aim to do. Whether you decay or not, you can try it yourself. But I'll tell you this, long ago, I too was a renowned powerful being! Evil Eye!"
Satan's indifferent eyes suddenly emitted a bright light, fixed on Sage, and an odd pressure instantly overwhelmed his forehead.
"Haaahhhh!"
Sage's body tensed, and in an instant, he unleashed a powerful shout, emitting a burst of energy that formed a ring around him.
"I know this technique too!"
The art of killing with a glance, and now a shout that could shake one's soul; although Sage didn't know the origin of the former, he was well-versed in such methods.
Boom!
His fist flashed with black lightning, and a Galactic Slam struck forward, hitting Satan right in the chest, creating a gaping hole.
"Saint Satan!"
"Not good! Saint Satan is injured!"
Some elite Navy soldiers nearby shouted in alarm.
Satan glanced at the wound, his tone indifferent. "I chose not to defend, and this injury is insignificant."
A black aura, like fire, emanated from his chest, causing the wound to heal spontaneously, as if filling in a new puzzle piece, restoring it to its original state.
Sage was taken aback, "Animal-type regenerative ability? No, it's even more exaggerated than that, without any flesh sprouts. A terrifying regenerative power, akin to the creation of life itself."
But something was different.
Kaido was also a Mythical Zoan, yet the impression he gave was completely unlike this guy.
Could he truly be a Mythical Zoan?
Just as this thought flashed through Sage's mind, Satan glared at him once more, and in that instant, Sage felt as if he were restrained, unable to move.
Pfft!
One of the six spider legs pierced through his chest like a sword during this brief opening.
"And that's for you."
Satan spoke slowly, "By the way, my attacks are laced with deadly poison."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sage broke free from the restraint, punching the spider leg with a powerful aura that shattered it, even though it was as hard as steel. Simultaneously, a white cocoon-like aura rapidly enveloped his body and then swiftly disintegrated.
His white hair burned like a blazing flame, and the upper half of his clothing had already disintegrated, forming a skin-like aura on his back and abdomen. It extended from the back of his neck to the sides of his face, revealing three black battle scars.
"Forty times."
Sage touched the wound on his chest, and with a squeeze, black blood laced with poison flowed from his chest to his index finger, which he then flicked away.
White vapor rose from the wound, and tiny flesh sprouts grew, knitting and healing the injury.
"Since we're both here to fight, why waste time chattering with me?"
Sage bared his teeth, revealing a sinister white grin, "You're the apex of the Dragon People, aren't you? I've never dealt with a Dragon Person like you. I might as well capture you and see how much ransom the World Government is willing to pay. Hmm, will they even give me a fifth of your territory?"
"If you can do it."
Satan replied calmly, scrutinizing Sage from head to toe, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, "The Mo Mo Fruit can achieve this level of power, and in the past few hundred years, you're the first to do so."
His eyebrows spiraled like the Devil Fruit's pattern, his white hair blazing, and his shoulders bore white cloud flames, a genuine 'White Form.'
But this was the Mo Mo Fruit!
If he didn't know the true nature of the Sun God, even he might have doubted himself.
And that regenerative ability rivaled 'Creation Rebirth.'
"Come."
Satan spoke slowly, "Let me see how powerful this form of yours truly is."
No Devil Fruit ability could achieve this.
That body was the most crucial.
