Chapter 379: Gloriosa, A Special Carrier!
Garling was trembling.
To him, this was a very laughable thing.
After all, he was a Celestial Dragon, and the helmsman of the great "Figarland Family".
After becoming the Commander of the God's Knights, the strongest God's Knight, he took pride in his own strength—Fear? That kind of thing had absolutely nothing to do with him.
But now...
He was truly trembling with fear, even his teeth were chattering.
Because right in front of him.
VMMM!
Scattered starlight fell.
On the earth, everything seemed completely unchanged from before.
The cracks in the ground, the shattered peak in the center of the island, the sea breeze blowing by—everything was unchanged.
However, the thorns on Rocks, who was in the center of the battlefield, had already vanished without a trace.
And vanishing along with them were all the God's Knights who were relatively close to Rocks earlier.
At this time, they had disappeared without a trace.
But Garling saw it very clearly—right in front of his eyes, he personally saw all the God's Knights annihilated under that starlight giant palm falling from the sky.
Their bodies were blasted into dust, their blood was evaporated before it could even flow out, and the "Deep Sea Contract" belonging to Lord Imu within their bodies was completely unable to save their lives like it usually did.
In just an instant, they disappeared into the starlight.
Silently and without a trace, as if they were dust casually wiped away by a giant hand.
And more importantly, Saint Garling knew very well—he almost became a part of that dust.
He looked tremblingly beside him—only to see that right now, a pitch-black arrow was floating beside him.
That was the ability of the woman "Gloriosa" beside him, the "Pointing Arrow" of the Arrow-Arrow Fruit.
And Saint Garling naturally also knew—it was exactly because Gloriosa used this ability at the crucial moment just now that they were transferred a distance away in an instant.
Otherwise, his fate right now should have been the same as his colleagues, turning into the most inconspicuous dust amidst that sky full of starlight. The so-called God's Knights were as fragile as bugs under that sudden power just now.
"What on earth... what on earth is that..."
Garling's voice was hoarse, unable to utter a sentence for a long time.
But the next moment...
"Above."
He heard Gloriosa's calm voice.
"Above?"
Garling instinctively raised his head and looked upwards.
Then, he saw that figure slowly falling from the sky, wreathed in starlight all over.
VMMM!
Intense pressure instantly swept over, and Garling couldn't even keep his body straight.
But at the same time...
"Saint Garling, huh..."
Star Lord, who had instant-killed the God's Knights with one strike, slowly shifted his gaze to Saint Garling below.
"I see—I had always been curious about where the God's Knights' fear of me came from. It turns out it's even more direct than I thought." He muttered softly to himself.
Starting from the first time he met a God's Knight, which was "Saint Chiringorm".
Roy knew that there should be some intersection between him and the God's Knights in God's Valley—at least almost all the God's Knights he encountered carried an obvious, natural fear of him.
And now, the source of this fear was very obvious.
However...
"According to the original timeline, Saint Garling lived until the era thirty years later. Then what if I try to kill him here?" Star Lord felt somewhat curious in his heart.
And he indeed did so.
He slowly raised his hand towards Saint Garling... and gently clenched his fist!
The next moment...
Rumble!
That massive giant palm formed of starlight appeared beside Saint Garling once again, directly making a fist to crush him.
And at this time, Saint Garling, whose body was still trembling involuntarily, shook like a sieve in this instant.
He didn't even have time to react, instinctively wanting to close his eyes.
But...
VMMM!
Beside Garling, the pitch-black Abyssal Power had already roared and risen.
In this instant, the figure of Gloriosa, who originally looked like a young girl, seemed to begin to undergo subtle changes—a pair of demon wings grew from her back, and the pitch-black power turned into flames and spread.
And Roy was not unfamiliar with this—this was the sign that Imu was descending.
"Source Energy of Lineage Factor... Absorb!"
So Roy also didn't hesitate, decisively activating the effect of the Fruit Encyclopedia.
The next instant, he saw the pitch-black flames slowly burning up on Gloriosa's body actually begin to be swallowed and absorbed by the starlight giant palm around her. And Roy, for whom this wasn't the first time doing this kind of thing, naturally wasn't surprised by this.
He had already repeatedly confirmed in Dressrosa—for things transformed from Imu's power like the "Deep Sea Contract" or "Abyssal Sea Contract", he could consume Imu's power through the confrontation and absorption of the Source Energy of Lineage Factor.
Especially under the circumstances that Imu Himself was restricted, and His amount of Source Energy of Lineage Factor was quite limited.
As long as he wasn't caught off guard by Imu like on Onigashima, having an Abyssal Magic Circle set up in advance, he actually could completely absorb all of Imu's Abyssal Power before Imu descended, interrupting the other party's descent.
But...
"Hm?"
Just a moment later, Roy realized something was wrong.
Because at this time, the Source Energy of Lineage Factor within the Fruit Encyclopedia indeed began to grow rapidly.
But as the person whose Source Energy of Lineage Factor was being absorbed, the flames on Gloriosa's body only dimmed and weakened briefly before beginning to burn fiercely again.
Accompanying it, the power on Gloriosa's body also grew stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger.
Even...
BOOM!
The wings on her back instinctively spread open, and the overly dense Source Energy of Lineage Factor even caused the entire sky above God's Valley to begin to dim.
And at this time, Roy's brows beneath the Star Lord mask also furrowed tightly.
"What's the situation... the amount of Source Energy of Lineage Factor at this level has already surpassed the Abyssal Sea Contract... no, even Shamrock's unique 'Abyssal Servant' contract might not compare?"
He had already discovered what was wrong.
He continuously swallowed and absorbed the Abyssal Power emanating from Gloriosa's body, but the power within the other party's body seemed like a vast ocean, almost completely inexhaustible—Abyssal Power of this level, let alone a God's Retainer, even the Five Elders, and even Shamrock as Imu's spokesperson thirty years later, completely couldn't compare.
"What's the situation? Was Imu thirty years ago that much stronger than thirty years later?"
Roy instinctively thought so.
But just a moment later, he realized something was wrong.
"No, judging from the intensity of the Deep Sea Contracts on the God's Knights, the power Imu bestowed upon them hasn't changed much—so Imu's own power shouldn't have much difference compared to thirty years later either."
"So what is truly special is not Imu... but..."
His gaze involuntarily looked at Imu's "carrier" at this moment.
That special young girl whose name he had heard more than once.
"Gloriosa?"
