It's not quite right to say it's a statue. The statue sitting cross-legged has a halo all over its skin. It is wearing simple and yellowish clothes, wearing strange clothes that are neither Buddhist nor Taoist. Its expression is peaceful and lifelike.
Except for the fact that his skin color is close to the gray of stone, some people will definitely believe him if he is said to be completely alive.
More importantly, no matter who it is, even if they see it for the first time, they will inexplicably have the illusion that it is still "alive".
It was not the feeling of breathing and heartbeat, but a surging breath of life that was constantly overflowing and contracting.
"She...is a man?"
Ron was stunned subconsciously, then shook his head.
That was clearly not her.
Not only because of its appearance, but also because behind the statue, close to the wall opposite the temple, there is another statue... The seven or eight-meter-tall statue has a human face and upper body, but the lower body is a fish tail, which is strikingly similar to a mermaid. The women are exactly the same!
But unlike the gentleness of Princess Bai Xing, this statue's brows are full of energy and heroic spirit. Compared with a princess, this statue looks more like...a queen
But whatever it is, it doesn't matter at the moment.
Im transformed into a black line, quickly came to the statue sitting in the center of the temple, pointed it as a knife, and slashed hard at the neck of the statue.
Boom! !
It hit with huge force, and shock erupted in the air.
Click...
Click, click, click!
Under the impact of this force, a crack suddenly appeared on the statue's neck, and then became larger and larger. With a "bang", the statue's head fell to the ground.
The cross-section dotted with translucent blue debris at the break proves that even though he is "alive", he is still a statue.
Wow! !
At the same time, as the statue was destroyed, a white pillar of aerosol light visible to the naked eye suddenly sprayed out from the neck of the statue, like a pillar of blood spurted from the neck of a decapitated enemy, at an extremely fast speed.
"That's it, the taste of food!"
Ron had resisted taking action before because he couldn't find the exact location where the smell came from. Now that Im helping him bring out the food, Ron will naturally not be polite to him.
Im could also see Ron's purpose, but he had no choice.
The light shield had been shattered. If he didn't do anything, Ron would find it if he gave him some time.
It's better to take the initiative yourself.
At least this way, he can grab most of the divine power.
I don’t know what Yi Mu did, but the fluorescent white mist sprayed out did not dissipate, but quickly turned into a band of light, turned around and rushed towards Yi Mu.
A black figure broke away from the torso covered with seven devil fruit spiral patterns. The debris in the light mist was like stars dotted in the starry sky, continuously seeping into the black shadow's arms, and then wandering around the body.
White light suddenly emanated from Im's body, and the familiar sense of tenacity gave Ron the illusion of seeing the light shield of the temple just now.
"Hmph, naive!"
Seeing this scene, Ron sneered and ignored him.
Im, who was trying to be more defensive about his attacks just now, actually ignored him now? He also knew that if he launched an attack now, it would be in line with Im's wishes.
Because I can't kill him in a short time, but it will give him the opportunity to plunder more divine power.
The top priority is the food in front of you!
call! !
Under Im's shocked gaze, a black mist similar to his own steamed out from Ron's body and burned.
Then, without much instruction, the black mist sensed the source of divine power and quickly spread to the statue like a dark cloud.
Buzz! !
The fluorescent white mist that was ejected instantly fell back to the neck. It was not because of lack of stamina, but because the sudden addition of predators caused the flow of light mist to suddenly increase several times faster, making it impossible to reach the previous height.
If Im's devouring is just chewing, then Ron's black mist is like swallowing a cow and drinking it!
Compared with the Yellow River, the speed of a stream is naturally different.
Under Im's shocked gaze, Ron grinned.
"The so-called power of the gods is nothing more than extraordinary spiritual power that is naturally born through the gathering and concretization of certain rules... Take him for example."
"The ocean can breed all things and also set off waves of destruction, just like a loving mother and a strict father. As the crystallization of the sea, the sea floor stone assumes this rule... Using this as a carrier, when they gather together, self-awareness is born. So this one appeared..."
"God!"
The effect of Sea Tower Stone in restraining ability users appeared later with the emergence of ability users. Before that, it was just a crystallized product of the ocean.
A treasure that can prompt life to embark on the path of evolution!
The statue in front of me is not made of any other material, it is the purest sea floor stone!
Those blue crystals dotted on the fracture surfaces are clearly prismarine!
That's why Im dared to join forces with Ron boldly and said "one person is half", this is one of the reasons.
As a person with abilities, Ron could not get close to this statue before!
No mention of equal shares
And the second reason…
"As a product of the embodiment of rules, this ability can never be controlled by mortals alone."
Ron looked back at the mermaid statue and grinned.
"Because no matter how powerful they are, mortals are born based on the countless rules of this world. They are seedlings growing on the soil. They cannot put the cart before the horse... As long as their essences are different, the two will never be able to merge."
"At most... just like her, borrow this power from him through some means."
This is why there are two statues in the temple. In addition to the fact that "his" body is a sea tower stone, she must also use this method to control the power of the gods.
But this doesn’t explain one thing…
The light mist is still seeping into the body, and the long-lost powerful feeling should have made Im feel refreshed, but at this moment, cold sweat dripped from his forehead and his face turned pale.
Because no matter how much he controlled, he couldn't move the black shadow away from the statue.
He is indeed getting stronger. If this trend continues, it will only take a few minutes to return to his peak. The power contained in the statue is enough for him to do this.
But at the same time, his essential power as a "god" is also constantly decreasing.
It became like that mermaid statue. No matter how powerful the body is, even if it can call upon the power of the gods, it cannot change the fact that the essence of mortals is.
God is not necessarily very strong, it is an essential transcendence and leap.
With this essence, there are endless possibilities.
Without this essence, one would be just like ordinary people. No matter how "powerful as a god" one is, once one reaches the limit, there is no possibility of progress.
Feeling the suction coming from the statue, Im looked ugly and roared: "Who the hell are you?!"
Ron grinned at this.
"Ron, Earthling!"
Im's eyes widened instantly: "The domain... the demon from outside the domain!"
"It turns out that you also have this opinion, which saved me a lot of effort..."
Ron shook his head slightly and suddenly reminded him.
"By the way, you and I are... different."
After saying that, the immortal black flame of destruction, born between the rise and fall of civilization, suddenly surged and swallowed Im.
Boom... click! !
Black and red lightning took the opportunity to hit him, tearing him into two pieces.
At the same time, Ron quickly retreated, taking the half of Im's body that was still alive, to the door of the temple, and looked inside cautiously.
Hiss...! !
The other half of Im's body was still attached to the statue, with only one eye filled with horror and an unpleasant cry coming from his throat.
He suddenly remembered Ron's words just now.
you
Only use "men" when taking plural form!
Countless fluorescent lights burst out from the broken black shadow, wrapping the statue. Then, when the fluorescent light dissipated, the "stone" that fell to the ground returned to the neck at some point.
The blue-grey skin gradually became shiny. Different from the previous external light, this was a kind of luster born from the inside out.
Plop!
Half of the plant resembled a vine, but had sarcoma at its roots. It fell heavily to the ground, sending chills all over the body.
That is Im's true nature, a plant with the rules of "predation".
I came here to share food with the gods, but I didn’t want to be eaten by others.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, the statue opened its eyes, looked directly at Ron, and sounded like a bell.
"Leave him to me and I can let you go."
"Hiss... hiccup!"
The black flames in his hand surged and swallowed up half of the divine power in Im's body. Ron also threw away the withered plant remains and grinned.
"Who are you talking about?"
