Chapter 366: Imu Watching Silently
As War King uttered the final incantation.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Feeling the sand-laden wind brush past, Garling's expression shifted slightly.
He surveyed the drastically altered environment, his heart jolted with shock.
So this was a demon's domain?
What incredible power. He had heard of Apostles using it in battles against the Emperors.
But experiencing it firsthand revealed the awe-inspiring ability to reshape the world.
"Welcome to my domain. Now, you'll taste my power, join the carnival of war!"
War King, born from humanity's fear of war, wielded a domain that could overwhelm foes with numbers.
Garling scanned the scene.
It wasn't just him, some nearby guards, who were too close, were also swept in, they stared in panic at their surroundings.
Some demons were dragged in too, mid-tier and high-tier ones. Starting from mid-tier, demons possessed near-human intelligence.
Spotting War King, they gazed at it with awe while curiously inspecting the area.
A domain is something only the rarest demons could wield!
Among the Nine Demon Lords, only the top five could use domains.
As one of them, War King naturally commanded deep admiration from other demons.
Ignoring the humans and demons swept in, War King's words to Garling concluded.
The corpses littering the domain shuddered and rose unsteadily, clutching weapons and shields, some wielding muskets and cannons.
As Garling's face paled dramatically,
The risen corpses charged at him as if starting a war.
His shock stemmed from their teleport-like assault.
Fortunately, as a former champion of the God Valley, Garling had the strength to match.
He activated Armament Haki, enduring the barrage unscathed.
Seeing Garling unharmed, War King clapped.
Clang, clang, clang...
The steel gauntlets collided, ringing out a crisp, rhythmic sound.
"Human! Let's see how long you can hold out!"
"Demon, you are too arrogant! Next, I'll shatter your pride."
Garling drew the sword at his waist.
No matter the enemy's power, as Supreme Commander of the God Knights, he wouldn't fail to defeat a mere demon!
Deep within Pangea Castle in Marijoa, in the Room of Flowers.
A figure sat silently, watching butterflies flutter in panic, feeling the ground tremble from the distant battle, saying nothing.
Imu-sama, master of the Empty Throne.
For now, Imu quietly sensed the chaos outside.
Imu had yet to act, whether to avoid exposure, due to the demon god's threat, or both, was unclear.
Imu is just waiting silently.
In Pangea Castle's meeting room.
Only two of the Five Elders remained: the mustache elder Saint Topman Warcury and the long-beard elder Saint Marcus Mars. The others were out fighting.
Thankfully, the remaining Apostles showed little interest in combat, or all Five Elders would have been forced to join the fray.
Leaving only Apostles and allied kings here would have sparked trouble.
Even so, the two Elders' faces were grim.
The other kings were outright terrified.
Kaido's sky-shaking laugh had reached even here moments ago.
His arrival signaled an escalation.
If he was here, did it mean other Emperors would follow?
This was a dire situation.
Even now, no one has come to report or reinforce them.
In truth, Pangea Castle's perimeter was sealed.
Outside, a white mist formed a curtain-like barrier, encasing the castle.
Ordinary guards couldn't enter, they were lost in the fog as if under an illusion, wandering aimlessly or standing dazed.
The Five Elders fighting outside noticed the mist but were too occupied with Apostles to address it.
"No use struggling, you won't get reinforcements..."
Now, several Apostles had commandeered the Five Elders' round table seats. Of the four remaining, Celestial Dragon, Gekiryū, Shiwen, and Kujira, Kujira floated due to his size, while the others sat.
The two Elders' faces darkened as the Apostles brazenly took their chairs, but they remained standing, unwilling to sit.
They had to avoid getting too close to the Apostles, or they might get ambushed if they weren't careful, which would be disastrous.
The kings of the allied nations sat in their chairs, watching the few Apostles. It felt as though they were attending a meeting.
The Apostles outright ignored the Five Elders standing nearby, addressing the kings directly about their earlier intentions.
"How much fighting power have you all brought here?"
The mustache elder, Saint Topman Warcury, asked with a grim expression.
Seeing the Apostles' confident demeanor, he couldn't hold back his unease.
No reinforcements had arrived yet, despite the Marines sending Admiral Sengoku and the monstrous Vice Admiral Akainu.
Marijoa had its own forces too, with the God Knights as their trump card.
But now, everything seems to be failing. All seven Apostles were here, what were the others doing? Couldn't they even send a message?
Could it really be that all the Four Emperors had come?
"Since you're so curious, I'll let you in on a little something..."
The truth often leaves people feeling powerless.
This time, the demons had come to demonstrate their might to the world. This war would make humanity reevaluate the existence of the demons.
Watching the fearful gazes of the allied kings, bubbles rose within the unknown liquid resembling a glass dome around Celestial Dragon.
"There is no point hoping for reinforcements from Marine Headquarters. That place is surrounded by Sea Kings."
"Even the Sun God King won't be able to come if he still wants to protect Marine Headquarters."
Hearing Celestial Dragon's words, the allied leaders displayed shocked expressions.
The Five Elders' faces changed dramatically.
At that moment, the Five Elders' minds reeled with disbelief. Sea Kings surrounding Marine Headquarters?
Wasn't that the power of the ancient weapon Poseidon? Had the demons acquired Poseidon?
No, Poseidon shouldn't have appeared yet.
The two Five Elders' expressions shifted constantly.
