The Pluton's attack, amplified sixfold—thousands of dark-red laser beams.
Such power was enough to annihilate more than a dozen islands in an instant.
Striking the Phantom House, it triggered a violent explosion immediately.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The distinct sound of shattering echoed through the blast.
Amidst a thunderous roar, the entire Phantom House exploded into fragments, turning into countless translucent dark debris that filled the air.
The surrounding dust and smoke from the explosion were blown away by the shattering of the Phantom House.
Imu and the Dark God joined forces, exerting their full power to block the remaining attacks from Pluton.
The two were blasted back a hundred meters by a deluge of dark-red lasers.
Along the way, the bodies of both the Dark God and Imu sustained varying degrees of damage.
Yet, they were soon restored to their original state.
Amidst constant shattering and reconstruction, the Dark God and Imu barely managed to withstand the blow.
Hundreds of meters away in mid-air, the Dark God, transformed into Davy D. Jones, gasped for breath.
The form of Davy D. Jones became translucent, seemingly struggling to maintain stability.
Imu's body, suspended above Shirahoshi, rippled like liquid.
Many of the pitch-black energy tubes connecting to Shirahoshi's body had shattered, with only three to five remaining.
Below, the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi's eyelids twitched, showing signs of waking up.
Imu extended several more pitch-black energy tubes to merge into Shirahoshi's body once more.
Shirahoshi, who was about to wake, had her consciousness fade away again.
Bearing that human face covered in tentacles, the Dark God looked toward Luo Chen.
Its gaze was extremely furious, tinged with a hint of terror.
The Phantom House was the supreme treasure that had birthed it.
One could say it was a world treasure formed naturally by heaven and earth.
And yet, it had been shattered by Luo Chen.
Last time, in Wano Country, the Phantom House had saved it and Imu.
This time, it had saved them once again.
The price was the complete dissipation of the Phantom House.
"What should we do?" Imu's voice rang out in its mind.
The Dark God could not answer.
It also didn't know what was best to do.
Now, they couldn't escape, and they couldn't win the fight.
Originally, for this invasion of Totto Land, it had planned to combine the Three Great Ancient Weapons and use the resulting destructive power to erase Luo Chen.
Who would have known that from the very start, Pluton would be the first to be destroyed.
It had thought that with its presence, nothing could happen to Pluton.
Yet, Luo Chen had sunk the battleship Pluton right before its eyes.
At this point, they were truly at their wits' end, completely helpless.
Receiving no response, Imu's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
Its crimson eyes looked toward the seabed, attempting to summon back Uranus.
But in that pitch-black, ink-like sea, the steel dragon was pinned to the seabed by a massive meteorite.
The surrounding seawater, which had turned into Armament Haki, acted like chains, binding the dragon's wings, neck, and body.
No matter how Imu summoned it, Uranus could not break free to return to the sky.
At this moment, Imu had to admit it.
It felt a sense of despair.
Facing Luo Chen, it was completely outmatched.
All sorts of methods had proven useless.
A Dark God in near-peak condition.
The Three Great Ancient Weapons.
With such a lineup, even if Joy Boy was reborn or Davy D. Jones reappeared, it would have been certain of victory.
But Luo Chen was too powerful, absolutely surpassing the level of it, the Dark God, Joy Boy, and Davy D. Jones.
On the pitch-black sea, the roars of beasts became increasingly sparse and weak.
Scarcely any of the Sea Kings that had previously breached the surface could be seen now.
Under the slaughter of nearly a hundred thousand Armament Haki giants, the Sea Kings were almost completely extinct.
Imu looked at Shirahoshi in silence and silently withdrew the energy tubes.
Now, the Sea King Poseidon was useless.
While there were still Sea Kings in distant regions of the ocean, by the time they reached Totto Land, everything would be too late.
Seeing this, Luo Chen smiled and said, "That saves me some trouble."
He manipulated the Susanoo to raise its palm.
Emitting gravity, he pulled Shirahoshi, who was falling toward the sea, back into his hand.
Lying in the massive palm of the Susanoo, Shirahoshi slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were dazed, and there were still tear stains on her beautiful face.
Even while unconscious, she seemed to have been grieving.
"Where is this?"
Shirahoshi asked weakly, her voice clear and melodious.
Luo Chen paid no heed, looking toward the distant Imu and the Dark God.
"Do you have any last words before you die?"
He wanted to hear if these two beings, who had ruled the world for eight hundred years and were akin to "gods," knew any hidden secrets.
A look of ridicule appeared on the face of Davy D. Jones, the manifestation of the Dark God.
"Kill me? Stop dreaming!"
"As long as the world exists, I am immortal."
"Even Joy Boy failed to kill me!"
It would not die.
It was this world that had birthed it.
Its existence itself was neither a physical entity like a body nor a hollow entity like a soul.
In short, unless the world was destroyed, it would never perish.
The Dark God said coldly, "Luo Chen, I admit I have lost."
"But you will never be able to kill me."
"In a thousand, ten thousand years, after you are dead, this world will still be mine!"
Any attack from Luo Chen could, at most, weaken it or leave it heavily injured.
Just like eight hundred years ago, after being severely wounded by Joy Boy using the power of the Sun God, it had not died.
It had simply gone into dormancy due to the severity of its injuries.
Luo Chen smiled. "Immortal? Don't even think about it."
Before his last closed-door cultivation, he might indeed have been unable to kill the Dark God.
But during that last session, his sword art had broken through to the Limit-Breaking level.
Nothing of this world was unslashable.
No matter how special the essence of the Dark God's existence was, it had not transcended the dimensions of this world.
He could slay it.
Even in the worst-case scenario, in a thousand or ten thousand years, Luo Chen would not only be alive but would only be stronger.
He fully entered Tenseigan Mode.
Indigo light erupted around him as twelve Truth-Seeking Balls circled his body.
Luo Chen emitted gravity, restraining Imu and the Dark God.
This time, he would never give them another chance to escape.
Luo Chen pressed his hands together and then pulled them apart.
Between his palms, boundless energy converged, and a cross-shaped golden light shone brilliantly.
A golden longsword of light extended from his hand, piercing straight through the firmament.
On an island within the territory of Totto Land, Fujitora was quietly sensing the battle.
The moment the golden sword appeared, his eyelids snapped open, revealing his pale eyes as his face twitched.
"Does Lord Luo Chen intend to slice this planet apart?"
Fujitora's Observation Haki range was among the best even among the Jinghai Army Admirals.
It was fully capable of reaching meteorites in outer space.
Right now, in his perception, the length of that golden longsword had already broken through the planet's boundaries and reached deep into space.
The blade emitted an incomparably terrifying pressure.
Fujitora had no doubt that if this sword swung down, the planet beneath them would be split in two.
From the various islands of Totto Land, throughout the New World, and even across half the globe, people could see a beam of golden light piercing the heavens in the distant sky.
The Dark God was also staring at the golden longsword.
Its face grew distorted. "Luo Chen, have you gone mad? Do you really intend to make everyone die with me?!"
Luo Chen's power terrified it.
This strike could truly shatter the world.
When that happened, tens of billions of living beings would perish along with it.
