Chapter 2085 The [Godslayer's Rank] Suppresses All "Gods"; The Terror of the [Divine

Chapter 2085 The Suppression of All "Gods" by the [Godslayer's Rank]; The Terror of the [Divine Enemy].

Luffy is the protagonist, a member of the "D" clan, who experiences life and death and only awakens Nika's awakening in a desperate situation.

Aside from good luck, Bucky doesn't seem to have shown any talent whatsoever.

Is it really possible for him to develop the Chop-Chop Fruit to the point of awakening?

The richest man in the United States said: "Based on normal logic and Bucky's current performance, he certainly cannot do it."

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "But if he is the one chosen by fate, if the choice of the Split Fruit is not accidental but inevitable, then nothing is impossible."

Tony completely understood why the Marquis said that, but in the face of fate, nothing is impossible.

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Perhaps Bucky has been deliberately hiding his true strength and purpose all along. Everything he has shown is just a disguise."

The richest man in the lighthouse said, "Or perhaps, for some reason, he forgot how he used the power of the fruit in the past."

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Or, the development of the Chop-Chop Fruit does not require so much prior accumulation, and its own power is unrelated to the awakening of the Devil Fruit. The key is whether he can touch the key thing that he is truly obsessed with in his heart."

The richest man in the lighthouse said, "This key moment made him realize something instantly, triggering the dormant power within the Devil Fruit and completing its awakening."

In stories, especially in action-packed manga, possibility itself is the greatest weapon.

The author only needs to use one or two flashbacks or key events at the right time to make all this illogicality seem reasonable.

Therefore, it's not impossible for Buggy to develop the Chop-Chop Fruit to its awakened state; it just depends on whether the plot requires it and when and how the author intends to reveal it.

Su Yunqing looked at Tony's analysis with a strange expression.

Although what Tony said wasn't impossible, his speculations weren't uncommon in his previous life.

In particular, many people had the idea that Buggy had been disguising himself, but they never saw Buggy display his so-called "true" strength until before they traveled back in time.

Now that Tony is saying this, it feels even stranger.

Putting everything onto Bucky, that red-nosed guy? That's just too incongruous.

It's like forcing a comedic character into a savior role; the contrast is huge, but it's just too weird.

An ordinary group admin: "Never mind, let's just leave it at that."

Su Yunqing rubbed her temples, deciding not to dwell on the issue any further. There was no point in arguing about it, since it was all just speculation.

An ordinary group owner: "At least in Whitebeard's world, the story is still developing normally, and there will always be a result in the future. You only need to read the newspaper to know."

Her current view of the One Piece world is like Doflamingo reading a newspaper in Impel Down—it feels like the world has become something she can't understand after she goes in.

Although the world of Uncle has also changed many plot points, such as Teach's death, the possibility of the Marineford War not occurring, and other butterfly effects.

But Im, the mastermind behind everything, is still alive, and the overall "main storyline" is still going strong.

The mysteries surrounding the century-long void and the "divine treasure" continue to unfold.

Luffy is still heading towards the final island, Laugh Tale; the Revolutionary Army is still active; and Im still sits high on the Empty Throne. All the foreshadowing still has a chance to be revealed one by one.

The Marquis of Voban was clearly not fond of vague notions like "possibility" and "fate."

He sought a definite sense of "divinity" and the tangible feeling of hunting.

However, he also understood that arguing about whether Bucky could awaken was pointless since he couldn't go to that world in person.

The oldest god-slayer: "A pawn of fate, huh? How boring."

The oldest god-slayer: "However, if the fruit itself is developed to the level of awakening..."

He's now considering whether to buy these fruits, give them to the people around him, and have them develop these Devil Fruits to the awakened level, then have them obediently killed by him to see if he can gain their powers.

It was at this moment that Su Yunqing and the others belatedly realized a problem.

The ordinary group owner: "???"

An ordinary group owner: "Wait, @The Ancient Godslayer, Marquis, didn't you go to the virtual battle arena? Why are you back? When did this happen?"

An ordinary group admin: "You've ended another battle in the virtual arena? But why didn't I see a notification in the chat group?"

Su Yunqing asked, somewhat bewildered.

If she remembered correctly, Marquis Voban and Loki had already re-entered the virtual battle arena, and they should be fighting to the death inside.

Why did Marquis Voban suddenly reappear? And why did he even join their discussion about gods and Devil Fruits in the Ace world?

He ended the battle again? But there was no notification in the chat group.

Is the Marquis "in and out instantly"? Or is there a bug in the chat group?

Or perhaps they were too focused to notice?

Boil Daigo into soup: "Yeah, Marquis, what brings you out here?"

Daigo was also puzzled. Although his attention had been entirely focused on Ace and Tony's discussion, he should have noticed if the Marquis had ended the battle in the virtual arena.

The oldest god-slayer: "That's because the battle is over." The oldest god-slayer: "How could Loki, a mere nobody, be a match for me?"

His tone was flat, as if he were stating something perfectly natural.

Moreover, the understated description only highlights the gap in strength between him and Loki.

Most importantly, Loki did not refute it.

In the past, given Loki's personality, even if he didn't make excuses after a defeat, he would definitely say something sarcastic or make some bold statement like "I'll definitely win next time."

This time, however, the chat group fell silent.

This unusual silence only confirmed that Marquis Voban's words were true; Loki had indeed been defeated, and perhaps quite decisively so, that he no longer even had the will to speak out.

Su Yunqing was shocked.

The ordinary group admin: "!!!"

An ordinary group admin: "No way, really? You actually won?"

She immediately checked the latest system messages and confirmed that Marquis Voban had indeed ended the battle in the virtual battle arena, and the end time was quite fast, only ten minutes.

In other words, Marquis Voban defeated Loki in ten minutes.

Ten minutes! From entering the virtual battle arena to defeating Loki and exiting, it only took ten minutes!

This is simply unbelievable.

It should be noted that although the Marquis is powerful, and last time he used 3 billion points to strengthen his [Godslayer Rank] three times, and his various powers were strengthened three or four times, his strength has leaped forward, and he has also accumulated an incredibly terrifying foundation.

By simply absorbing these resources, his strength was constantly increasing every second; but Loki was no pushover either.

This guy accumulated billions of points by constantly waging wars against other civilizations in the Marvel Universe and plundering resources to earn points.

He invested these points into the [Enlightenment Function], and the speed at which his strength increased was terrifying, far surpassing what it used to be.

In the eyes of Su Yunqing, and even many other group members, Loki's current strength, even if it hasn't surpassed Marquis Voban, should at least have narrowed the gap to a point where they can fight for a long time, or even be evenly matched.

There's no way they could have been defeated so easily.

Ten minutes? That's already considered a crushing defeat in a battle of the same level.

Just how powerful is Marquis Voban? Could his enhancement of the [Godslayer Rank] be so incredibly powerful?

Marquis Voban merely scoffed at Su Yunqing's words, making no attempt to hide his contempt for Loki.

The oldest god-slayer: "Of course, who do you think I am?"

The oldest god-slayer: "He merely used the power of lies to distort the truth and falsehood."

The oldest god-slayer: "Such methods may be invincible against the weak, but against me?"

The oldest god-slayer: "Heh."

The oldest god-slayer: "He may have forgotten, or rather, he never truly understood, what my [god-slayer rank] really meant."

After three enhancements, the [Godslayer Rank] is no longer simply described as "targeting divinity".

That's a kind of rule-based transcendence.

It doesn't simply increase Marquis Voban's resistance to "divine" attacks or enhance the damage he inflicts on gods; rather, it fundamentally suppresses the concept of "gods."

When Marquis Voban gets serious and actively activates the power of the [Godslayer] rank, all power originating from "divinity" will be suppressed and weakened like never before.

The senses of the gods will become dulled, the operation of divine power will become difficult, the authority of the gods will be forcibly suppressed, and even the divine body and soul that the gods are proud of will feel a kind of instinctive trembling and weakness.

If the opponent's strength far surpasses that of Marquis Voban, such as reaching the galactic level or even higher, then this suppression will naturally be offset or weakened by a powerful force.

The problem is that, although Loki's strength has been greatly enhanced through the "Enlightenment" ability, he is still at the same level as Marquis Voban.

In this situation, Marquis Voban's [Godslayer Rank], which had been strengthened three times, had an extreme effect on suppressing Loki, the "God of Lies."

Loki's powers of lies and illusion magic are incredibly difficult to execute in the face of a Godslayer; not to mention that Marquis Voban also possesses the power to kill the undead.

Being able to hold out for ten minutes was already an achievement, a result that Loki was unwilling to accept and was desperately trying to save face by stalling for time in the virtual battle arena.

Although Marquis Voban did not describe the battle in detail, his matter-of-fact tone and mention of the "Godslayer rank" made everyone realize what was going on.

In the past, the marquises had almost never demonstrated the suppression of gods by the [Godslayer Rank], so they all forgot the special nature of the [Godslayer Rank] itself.

Loki probably forgot the influence this persona had on the gods, which is why he felt that there was no longer a gap between him and Voban.

Meanwhile, in the Marvel universe, Asgard.

A suffocating chill permeated the magnificent throne of the celestial palace.

Loki gripped Gungnir's hand tightly, his face, which had maintained its elegance until now, was so gloomy it seemed as if it could drip water.

In his emerald eyes, there was a flame that almost materialized.

We lost! We lost again!

Moreover, he was killed by Voban in a humiliating manner, within just ten minutes.

This was more unacceptable to him than any of his previous defeats.

Last time, he could at least be said to have been careless, but this time he had clearly invested a massive amount of points, using the [Enlightenment Function] to push his divine power, authority, and magical prowess to a new level.

He thought he had closed the gap between himself and Marquis Voban, or even surpassed him, but he lost again!

[Godslayer Rank]! The [Godslayer Rank] after three enhancements!

Marquis Voban didn't even use much of his power; he simply activated the [Godslayer Rank] to suppress the gods after the battle began.

As that aura that made his soul tremble enveloped him, his proud divine power and authority seemed to be bound by heavy shackles, making it impossible for him to fully exert his power.

He tried all his abilities, but in that realm, all the power originating from "divinity" was greatly weakened, and he could do nothing.

Those ten minutes felt like an eternity to Loki.

He was like a flying insect trapped in a spider web; no matter how much he struggled, it only hastened his demise.

Finally, under the opponent's seemingly impatient strike, his consciousness and virtual body collapsed together.

"【Godslayer Rank】!!!"

Loki gritted his teeth and uttered those words, his tone filled with resentment.

He completely forgot about the Marquis of Voban's ability, and he never really considered it a decisive difference.

Before this, Marquis Voban had never displayed such overwhelming power as a Godslayer when facing Madara Uchiha, the Holy Lord, Sosuke Aizen, or even himself.

So much so that Loki subconsciously believed that this "rank" might be more of a symbolic one, or a way to suppress certain types of gods, rather than being able to tyrannically suppress all "gods".

As a result, he was tricked. The "Godslayer Rank" allows one to tyrannically suppress all "gods".

Luo Hao had previously demonstrated her four-time enhanced [Godslayer Rank], one of which was called [Divine Nemesis]. This ability naturally possesses extremely strong special attack and suppression effects on all beings that have the characteristics of "divinity", "faith condensation", "conceptual incarnation", or "higher rule life".

Her attacks will more easily tear through its divine defenses, inflicting true damage far exceeding normal levels. To the gods, she is their eternal nightmare.

Because it wasn't Voban who had successfully enhanced his abilities, and because he had never fought against the leader of the Luo Hao sect, he hadn't paid much attention to it; now he realized just how terrifying this ability was.

Even if Marquis Voban only underwent three enhancements, he would still possess abilities similar to [Divine Nemesis].

This also means that, in Marquis Voban's mind, he was not even worth using this "anti-god special attack" trump card before.

This time, perhaps because of his increased strength, Voban took it seriously and used this ability.
