"Mantis, what do we do, should we go over?"
Jie Bao looked at the space in front of him that seemed to have completely disappeared, his eyes flashing with intense curiosity, and of course, fear.
Humans are naturally fearful of the unknown.
"Go, why wouldn't we go."
Kamachiri gritted his teeth and took the lead, stepping forward.
After Kong Tai controlled Enel, to the eyes of outsiders, that area of space vanished in a twist. They didn't know what it was, only seeing a giant sphere, like a mirror, pressed onto the ground.
The space around the sphere was irregularly warped. Looking at the distorted space, they all felt an extreme sense of danger. They knew it was not something they could touch. Only directly in front of the sphere was there something like a transparent door.
That group of Sea Islanders had entered through there earlier.
Standing before the door, Kamachiri hesitated, then raised his head, looked at the door in front of him, gritted his teeth, and stepped through without hesitation.
With a dizzying sensation, his figure appeared on the summit of a high mountain. Looking at the distant tree trunk, which was already thousands of meters high just from what was visible, he was utterly shocked.
"This, this, this is..."
The many Shandians who followed him appeared beside him. Looking at the scene before them, a look of shock appeared on all their faces.
At this moment, they were like ants in the heavens, so small that they felt like a speck of dust, filling their hearts with dread.
"Alright, is everyone here?"
Just then, a low voice, like the roar of a god, echoed throughout the entire space, causing everyone to involuntarily look up in the direction of the sound.
They saw, in the void above a branch of the sky-reaching giant tree.
A figure, so vast it blotted out the sun, was leisurely sitting there, holding a giant wine gourd and drinking leisurely.
"That Sea Islander, that silver-haired Sea Islander?"
These Shandians stared at Kong Tai, their pupils contracting to a pinpoint, muttering in their hearts.
"Could this guy be a real god?"
Everything before them surpassed their understanding. The only descriptor they could think of for Kong Tai was "god."
The gods here were not the ruling gods of their God Clan.
But gods from myths and legends.
Looking at Kong Tai, their eyes were filled with reverence, and the hatred they had for Kong Tai's group due to the death of Weber was gone.
After all, if they couldn't get revenge on humans, they would still harbor resentment.
But Kong Tai gave them the feeling of not being human!
Towards true gods, they only felt reverence and dared not harbor any ill will.
Kong Tai lowered his hand, looked down at the Shandians, and then turned to look at Kuina and the others, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
This space, whether for objects or people, he could make them infinitely far apart within the spatial domain, but it had no effect on him.
No matter how vast or how it stretched, in front of him, it remained the same.
So even if he wanted to go down and watch the battle with Ah Hua and the others, he couldn't.
"Never mind!"
Kong Tai raised his wine gourd, took a sip, then looked down and chuckled, "Welcome to the Divine Battlefield. First, we invite Kuina of the Silver-Haired Adventure Group."
"Kuina, it's your turn."
Robin released Kuina's hand and smiled at her.
"Go for it!"
Ah Hua and the other two raised their hands to encourage Kuina.
Within Kong Tai's domain, they wouldn't worry about Kuina's safety. However, her opponent was known as a god and the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, said to be the strongest of the Logia-type. Kuina would likely have to use all her strength to win.
Kuina smiled, then turned, staring at the vast arena in front of her, which occupied a huge area like a giant disc. A fierce fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.
She bent her knees, then leaped upwards.
*Bang*—!
The soil beneath her feet instantly indented, and her body, like a drawn sword, shot into the sky. At the highest point, she plummeted rapidly.
With a "bang," she landed on the left side of the disc.
"So strong!"
Kamachiri stared at Kuina, his face solemn. Just the aura Kuina exuded at this moment made him feel suffocated.
Before he could think further, he heard Kong Tai's voice.
"The second to appear is the god of the God Clan, Enel, who can control lightning."
"Please come forth."
After saying this, Kong Tai instantly released Enel's restraint.
The sky suddenly flashed with lightning, and a man with four three-tomoe thunder drums on his back, surrounded by lightning, appeared in the air.
The arrogance he had when he first appeared was gone, replaced by a deep fear of Kong Tai, and a subtle trace of fear in the depths of his pupils, difficult for outsiders to notice.
Only he could understand how terrifying the man above was.
In front of Kong Tai, he felt like an overconfident ant. In that space earlier, he had tried every method he could think of, but he couldn't budge that space in the slightest.
He had a feeling that if Kong Tai wanted to kill him, it would be no easier than crushing an ant.
He hadn't felt this way when they first met, but now it was extremely strong.
"Is it this strange space?"
Enel looked up at Kong Tai, not daring to act rashly. This space felt incredibly dangerous to him.
Although he didn't know what it was, it didn't stop the alarm bells in his heart from loudly telling him that escape... was probably impossible.
He glanced at Kuina, vaguely guessing Kong Tai's intentions.
"Does he want me to fight the young lady below?"
"And this space?"
Enel withdrew his gaze, looking at the sparse sunlight filtering down from the sky, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.
"Is it to prevent me from escaping?"
"What a joke!"
How could he possibly escape.
As if thinking of something, a hint of anger flashed across his face.
Then the anger quickly disappeared. He retracted his gaze, looked up at Kong Tai again, pondered for a moment, and then shouted loudly at Kong Tai, "That, that..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to address Kong Tai. When he saw Kong Tai's head of silver hair, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sil, sil, silver hair, I know your plan. You want me to fight the woman below, alright, but you have to promise me one thing."
At this moment, his mind seemed to have suddenly opened. He knew he probably couldn't escape today, but there was still a chance, and that chance lay with the woman below.
"Oh..."
Kong Tai looked down at Enel, his eyes narrowed. "What is it?"
Enel looked up at the sky-covering face, swallowed, and said firmly, "That is, if I defeat the woman below, you must let me leave here."
Upon hearing this, Gan Fall below immediately snapped back to reality. He anxiously stepped forward, wanting to speak loudly, but was stopped by Indigo behind him.
"Don't worry! Who is the captain? This guy is now the captain's and Kuina's toy. He thinks he can run? He's dreaming."
Indigo pulled Gan Fall, looked up at the lightning in the sky, and chuckled, his tone filled with mockery.
