Chapter 663: Clash of Wills
Im's gaze.
Luffy's gaze.
Two gazes collided in the invisible space.
This was not a physical impact.
It is a head-on clash between two wills.
For an instant.
The space between the two, hundreds of meters apart, was frozen.
Time seemed to stand still.
The howling wind and snow fell silent.
Ice shards danced wildly in the air, hovering in mid-air.
The surging airflow solidified into an iron plate.
In the distance, the sea roars and surges.
The sound of the ocean waves was silenced.
The world is dead silent.
A deathly silence that sends chills down your spine.
At the center of will, air does not flow and sound does not travel.
The light was distorted and stretched.
A sense of oppression.
A soul-crushing sense of oppression.
On the battlefield of purgatory, all the powerful individuals who still had the strength to unleash their senses felt this oppressive aura at the same moment.
It swept across the icy plains like a silent tsunami.
Whitebeard stood in the center of the monster's corpse.
His large hand gripping the handle of the Murakumochi knife tightened suddenly.
Click.
The knuckles popped.
This man, who looked down upon the world with such pride, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Rocks stood in a pool of blood not far away.
His arrogant face tightened.
His brows were furrowed into a tight knot.
The overwhelming Armament Haki within his body overflowed spontaneously and uncontrollably.
It forms a thick layer of black defense.
The body's instinct for absolute defense when facing a deadly threat.
On the edge of the battlefield.
Zoro collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.
The muscles in his right arm were torn extensively, and the blood stained the snow red.
The moment the oppressive feeling swept over him, the muscles in his numb right arm tensed up reflexively.
Rough fingers gripped the hilt of the Yama sword beneath him tightly.
Enma emitted a low, guttural sound.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The monster is nothing to worry about.
The Celestial Dragons are not worth mentioning.
The main course that will truly determine the course of the world has been served.
Luffy hovered above the main battlefield.
His entire body was enveloped in pulsating pure white light.
At this moment, under the frenzied oppression of Im's dark will, the white light became even more intense and dazzling.
The light shimmered.
A flame of the sun that never goes out.
The smile on his face did not disappear.
Nika form is naturally immune to all negative emotions.
The carefree, enormous smile is the essential mark of this fruit.
but.
A rare hint of seriousness flashed in the deepest part of his pure white eyes.
His Observation Haki poured out.
He saw clearly what terrifying things were hidden within Im's thin body.
That wasn't human breath.
It is a terrifying foundation built up over a century.
It is a bottomless, dark ocean.
The darkness was thick and as dark as asphalt, exuding a nauseating, decaying despair.
It will devour all the light in the world.
Luffy could hear countless mournful howls in the darkness.
Those are countless souls that have been crushed over the past eight hundred years.
Luffy's silly grin slowly faded.
The wide grin that reached his ears gradually flattened out.
Finally, they pressed together into a resolute straight line.
His bright eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the black-robed figure several hundred meters away.
He felt no fear.
In his new form as Nika, the word "fear" no longer exists in his vocabulary.
But he had a clear and cruel understanding.
The opponent on this divine throne is unlike any enemy I've faced before.
Sand crocodile.
Doflamingo.
Kaido.
Those formidable enemies who had once driven him to the brink of despair were insignificant compared to Im before him.
Faced with this surging, dark ocean, even his newly awakened flame of the sun instinctively felt the deadly threat of being extinguished.
The slightest misstep could plunge the entire world into an abyss of no return.
Luffy's breathing slowed down.
Every muscle is in its most perfect fighting state.
This is no longer a game to be played around with.
the other side.
Im stood suspended in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind.
Luffy's pure white will surged forth.
In his deep eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hood, a genuine solemnity and murderous intent finally flashed.
He has lived for eight hundred years.
I have seen countless incredibly talented challengers.
But no force has ever made him feel such a strong sense of crisis.
The boy before me, who seemed like the rising sun, harbored a deadly threat within him.
That's not brute force.
It is a power of rules that can fundamentally undermine the foundation of his eight-hundred-year reign.
It is absolute restraint at the level of laws.
Nika's power is the destined nemesis of the demonic energy system.
The dark red demonic energy that drove the world to despair was like remnant snow under the blazing sun in the face of this pure white light.
This is the purest form of freedom.
It can purify demonic energy and eradicate corrupt energy at its source.
Im's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
He finally became convinced that the young man before him was the only variable capable of truly overthrowing his divine throne.
The two wills were locked in a fierce struggle at an invisible boundary.
The pure white light that erupted from Luffy transformed into a dazzling daylight, assaulting Im.
Where the white light passed, the remaining demonic energy in the air instantly evaporated.
An uncompromising purification.
They vowed to completely illuminate that sticky, nauseating darkness.
Im's dark underbelly also retaliated.
The dark red demonic energy, accompanied by the pitch-black abyssal energy, resembled an ancient ferocious beast with its jaws wide open.
The darkness surged back fiercely, attempting to drag the white light into an endless abyss.
White and black.
Light and darkness.
Freedom and slavery.
At the boundary between the two forces, the space began to break down.
Extremely fine black cracks flickered in the void.
The space appears to be distorted and folded to the naked eye.
This is a dimensional anomaly caused by the violent collision of two terrifying energies that influence the fundamental laws of the world, within the same coordinate system.
The light was refracted into bizarre and colorful fragments.
The laws of this world were on the verge of collapse as the two struggled against each other.
10,000 meters above the ground.
A forbidden zone of life, shrouded in swirling dark clouds.
Chen Ye hovered in the void.
The strong winds high in the sky fluttered the hem of his clothes.
With his unparalleled Observation Haki, he could clearly see the struggle between the pure white and the darkness below.
In his cold, deep eyes, data streamed wildly like a waterfall.
Luffy's Nikka form at this moment is far stronger than all his deductions and predictions.
That pure white aura was still expanding wildly in an unreasonable way.
There was no stopping.
There is no upper limit.
This power contains an indescribable and terrifying potential.
Even Chen Ye, the mastermind who always remained behind the scenes and was used to manipulating the world like a chessboard in his palm, felt a sense of apprehension.
He has always regarded Luffy as a key piece to break the deadlock.
just now.
This chess piece has grown into a behemoth capable of overturning the entire chessboard.
Chen Ye slowly exhaled a breath of hot, stale air.
The white mist dissipated instantly in the cold air.
The true end of this catastrophe that has spanned a century is just around the corner.
But Chen Ye didn't rush to the scene.
His usually decisive demeanor was now like that of a still statue.
He had to confirm one crucial thing.
Faced with Luffy's Nika power, which suppresses demonic energy from the bottom of the law.
How will Im respond?
His choice will directly determine the survival of the entire world.
Chen Ye's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing through the clouds ten thousand meters high.
Chen Ye slowly closed his eyes.
He completely retracted and withdrew the Observation Haki that had spread across the entire battlefield, like the receding tide.
He stopped paying attention to the white beard.
I stopped paying attention to Lox.
They ignored the divine eagle.
He frantically compressed and condensed all his perception and mental energy.
Ultimately, this immense power of perception was compressed into an invisible needle.
Extremely sharp.
The needle pierced through the howling blizzard and precisely locked onto Im below.
It locked onto the figure in black robes.
Chen Ye held his breath.
An action that was extremely rare for him.
He focused all his attention on a deep analysis of the energy fluctuations on Im's body.
He wanted to capture the tremor of every cell in Im's body and the flow of every strand of demonic energy.
Just as Chen Ye's senses locked onto Im,
The mutation occurred without warning.
Suddenly, the solidified dark red patterned barrier around Im began to boil violently.
The barrier began to expand outwards slowly but irresistibly.
hum!
An extremely ancient and eerie sealing pattern suddenly lit up.
The second course followed immediately.
The third way.
Hundreds and thousands of dark red lines flashed one after another on the barrier.
The moment each line was illuminated, a deep, muffled hum resounded from the ancient abyss.
The buzzing sound pierced through space and directly shook the soul.
The dark power contained within the sealing patterns began to expand and rise at an alarming rate.
The already bottomless dark ocean instantly became even denser and more terrifying.
The volume of darkness increased dramatically.
It transformed from an ocean into a dark universe that wanted to devour the entire world.
The destructive intent contained within that power caused the surrounding space to crack under its strain.
Im's face, hidden in the shadow of his robe, slowly rose.
A face whose features are indistinct.
At that moment, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
It outlined a terrifying smile that was morbidly cruel to the extreme.
He provided the answer.
He chose the most direct, the most insane, and the one that would satisfy his century-long thirst for killing.
He wants to unleash his full potential.
He wanted to unleash the darkness that had accumulated over the past eight hundred years without reservation.
He was determined to fight Nika to the death.
