Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Again?
“Holy crap! What the hell just happened?!”
“If that’s even human, I’ll eat my words! Three bowls of them!”
“That… was it?”
“HELL YEAH, GODFATHER!!!”
High above, everyone stood slack-jawed, their faces frozen in utter shock.
Not a single step had been taken.
The mighty foe had already fallen.
What… what kind of terrifying existence was this?!
The crowd went wild—truly, completely wild.
Sure, Vir had won with poison, but so what?! A win was a win!
In this moment, he was a god!
“Gurararara! Brat! This old man is impressed!”
“You’re tellin’ me! Who wouldn’t be impressed? Hell, you’ve gotta admit when you’re outclassed. Youngsters these days… tch, tch.”
The Golden Lion nodded in deep agreement.
“Is this really my new doctor? With poison like that, should I even let him treat me? Am I gonna die?!”
“Relax, with poison like that, you’d be off to see my grandma before you even felt a thing.”
Yamato and her father’s heartwarming family drama continued to play out.
The others let out a chorus of gasps and murmurs.
Below, Shanks’s brow furrowed deeply as he stared at Vir, his eyes brimming with complex emotions.
The aura radiating from Vir sent shivers through his body.
No need to spell out what that meant.
Not only had Vir taken down Imu with poison, but his own raw strength was so terrifying it made even Shanks tremble.
He’d misjudged. Badly.
Vir was the true blade that would pierce this era. He was the true King.
The Five Elders were starting to panic. Their sovereign, dead, just like that?
Impossible.
But at that moment, Dragon, hovering in the sky, was the first to sense something off.
“Imu is dead, so why is Vir still staring at that spot?”
Dragon’s words snapped everyone’s attention back to Vir.
And sure enough, just as Dragon said, Vir was fixated on the pile of withered bones Imu had left behind.
No words. No movement. No approach.
He just stood there, staring.
“What’s going on?”
“Is Imu… not dead?”
“Are you kidding me? Does she have two lives or something?!”
No sooner had Jozu spoken than the withered bones below began to stir!
The faint glow clinging to the bones suddenly surged, growing brighter and brighter until it became blindingly radiant.
“Holy—! Holy crap, crap, CRAP! She’s really coming back to life?!”
A blinding white light engulfed the area below, obscuring whatever was happening.
The Five Elders’ faces lit up with joy.
Of course!
Their king wouldn’t fall so easily.
The light lasted only a moment. As it faded, everyone’s eyes shot toward the spot.
There, where the bones had been, a familiar figure stood once more.
Who else could it be but Imu?
That’s right.
She had revived.
Well, not exactly revived—more like some kind of healing technique.
A return from the brink of death.
Vir saw through it all. This was Imu’s trump card.
Now, the real battle was just beginning.
But.
He had declared it.
This battle.
He would win.
“You—”
Imu didn’t get to finish. Vir, standing before her, vanished in an instant.
Her pupils shrank, a chill creeping up her spine.
No time to turn.
No time to dodge.
Only time to block!
The thought flashed through Imu’s mind.
Without a second to spare, she raised her hand to guard the back of her head.
But.
She couldn’t block it…
Behind her, a spiked club radiated an indescribably terrifying aura.
One she could never withstand.
Vir’s confidence came from how long he had charged this attack.
At the very start of the battle, in the instant he teleported everyone else away, he had already begun preparing this swing.
The kanabo had been hidden in another dimension, completely beyond Imu’s detection.
Now, Vir’s control over space was so refined that it was stable, unbreakable.
This blow was the absolute limit of his body’s strength, pushed to the point of exhaustion.
Lightning amplification.
Eight Trigrams damage boost.
Petrification passive.
White Flame heat temperature amplification.
Magnetism enhancement.
Tremor-tremor true damage.
Triple-charge.
And most crucially—Time Domain.
This strike.
Imu—
How will you block this?!
With a thought, Vir’s right leg bulged violently—
*BOOOOM!*
The kanabo was launched forward like a railgun round.
It reached her in an instant.
Imu’s right hand, cloaked in jet-black Armament Haki so deep it seemed almost safe, met the attack.
The moment they collided, a deafening roar echoed across the heavens and earth.
With Imu at the epicenter, everything within a ten-kilometer radius—vanished.
The terrifying energy vaporized everything in its path.
Imu, expecting to take only minor damage, suddenly widened her eyes.
Her heart erupted with the absolute most profound astonishment she had ever felt in her life.
She.
Could not block it!
That’s right, Imu could not block it.
Her arm lasted half a second before disintegrating entirely.
And let’s be clear.
All of Vir’s non-static abilities scaled with his physical growth.
The sheer magnitude of this enhancement was far beyond anything Imu could withstand.
As her right hand melted away, the kanabo buried itself deep into Imu’s skull.
The devastating damage left her dazed in an instant.
And in that moment of stupor…
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!*
An explosion that shook the entire Red Line erupted.
Imu’s body was once again enveloped in light—this time, a purple glow.
The shockwave rippled out for thousands of kilometers.
Countless residents saw the massive energy wave in the sky, its terrifying aura forcing everyone who witnessed it to their knees in awe.
This earth-shattering explosion raged for over ten seconds before finally subsiding.
As the purple light dissipated, the scene became clear.
Imu, her entire head gone, sat lifelessly on the ground.
She was dead. Again.
