Honestly, Kong Tai was using this thing for the first time too.
He didn't know the full power of the Spatial Blade when it erupted.
Last time on Lamp Island, he had sliced through space and seen that astonishing eye. Would he see it again this time?
If that guy woke up, would this world be destroyed?
Honestly, he didn't know.
He figured beings of that caliber wouldn't bother with insignificant beings like them. No, in front of Them, they weren't even insects, merely dust, mere bacteria.
Even if he, a bacterium, was the largest one on a planet, he wouldn't attract Their attention, would he?
Because, if this world had a god, then that being would surely be it.
*Pffft—!*
The Spatial Blade met the ball of light, like an arrow piercing a watermelon.
The Spatial Blade easily shot into the ball of light.
At this moment, there was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any unparalleled pressure.
The ball of light suddenly stopped in mid-air, then collapsed inward to an extreme degree, along with the surrounding space, collapsing intensely towards the center.
The entire sky, at this moment, became a vortex. In the center of the vortex, a black hole slowly formed, and as time passed, it grew larger and larger.
When the black hole reached a certain limit, it directly exploded.
*Boom—!*
A deafening explosion.
Blinding light, mixed with the sound of cracking, shattering space, filled heaven and earth. At this moment, everyone saw it. In the sky above, the sky had split open.
Like a spider web, cracks like centipedes spread outwards from the explosion, reaching the very edge of the sky.
At this moment, the Whitebeard Pirates, Mary Geoise, the Sabaody Archipelago, and even the Marine Headquarters on the first half of the Grand Line, which were already nearby, all witnessed the sky-splitting cracks above.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky simultaneously.
Those with sufficient strength, such as Whitebeard, the Marine Admirals, Garp, the Five Elders of Mary Geoise, and Imu, could even feel the aura of another world from within the black fissures.
"What the hell is this?"
At this moment, shock was etched on everyone's faces.
Even Imu, who considered himself a god, the true god of this world, looked at the cracks in the sky with unprecedented solemnity.
At this moment, His blood-red pupils seemed to come alive, rotating intensely. Others could only feel the aura of other worlds from within the fissures.
But He, He knew that there were extraterrestrials in this world.
"An invasion by an alien race?"
Imu gazed at the fissures, as if seeing countless colossal beings emerge from them and descend upon this world for an invasion.
Fortunately, the fissures appeared as quickly as they disappeared, lasting only a few seconds before the world repaired itself, vanishing without a trace. The sky returned to its original state.
"It's you!"
Imu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly straightened his body and turned his gaze towards the New World.
And within his pupils, an image appeared.
There, thunder raged, and the entire sky was dark. The surrounding space was extremely unstable, accompanied by arcs of electricity, and occasionally, black fissures like the ones he had just seen would appear.
And amidst those black fissures and lightning, a handsome figure clad in moon-white stood floating in the air, coldly meeting his gaze.
Looking at this figure, his pupils were filled with disbelief.
Through the eyes of the colossal being and the information just received, he knew that the power that had broken space was actually created by this brat in front of him.
This was a joke.
As powerful as he was, having controlled the world for over eight hundred years and obtained countless incredible powers, he could not break the space of this world.
Unless his true form broke free from its cage and appeared in this world.
One had to know that space and space were not the same.
The power granted by Devil Fruits was indeed incredible, allowing the manipulation of space, creation of space, and even alteration of time, stopping it, or reversing it.
But these abilities, overall, did not transcend the world itself.
However, this brat in front of him could truly break the spatial bounds of this world, achieving the shattering of the void.
What did this mean?
It meant that this guy could travel through time and space at will, going to another world, another world even more powerful than this one.
He could even go to space, to other planets, no longer confined to this planet, this cage-like planet.
At this moment, Imu felt an unprecedented yearning.
He yearned, he yearned for the brat in front of him to break his cage and let him out.
Because... he... wanted to go home.
Kong Tai hovered in the air, surrounded by countless bolts of lightning and spatial rifts that occasionally grazed his body.
But his body seemed to be in another dimension, unharmed by the lightning and spatial fissures.
His cyan-blue pupils gazed at the colossal being before him, a strange expression flashing within them.
It was different from what he had imagined.
He had initially thought the giant creature in the clouds would be a biological entity.
But when he ascended, he discovered that this being was a mechanical lifeform.
With its streamlined lines, sharp claws, ferocious head, and wings on its back.
What appeared before him was, in fact, a steel dragon clad in silver scales.
The dragon's eyes were blood-red, its pupils like swirling vortexes.
These eyes, he had seen them before.
If one were to say who had the most memorable eyes in the world of One Piece, the first would undoubtedly be Imu, who had never shown his face but had sat firmly on the Void Throne for eight hundred years solely through his eyes.
The other pair of eyes belonged to Mihawk, the World's Greatest Swordsman.
His "Hawk Eyes" were equally unforgettable.
"Imu."
Kong Tai stared into the dragon's eyes and spoke coldly.
Judging by these eyes, identical to Imu's, he knew this being must have an inseparable connection to Imu.
The dragon did not open its mouth. Its blood-red pupils stared at Kong Tai, devoid of any emotion, yet a voice emanated from it, neither male nor female.
"Silver Hair · Kong Tai."
The dragon, controlled by Imu, stared at Kong Tai. Special fluctuations appeared in its eyes as it rapidly scanned the entire sky.
However, the fluctuations disappeared automatically when they reached Kong Tai's vicinity, as if Kong Tai truly existed outside of this time and space.
"Who exactly are you?"
He refused to believe that such a person could exist in this world, someone even the dragon he controlled could not see through.
One must understand that the dragon he controlled was no mere steel beast, but a terrifying weapon capable of destroying the world, constructed eight hundred years ago by the Great Kingdom, condensing the power of the world based on his true form.
And this weapon, it also had a name, one of the three ancient weapons that had disappeared from history, the Uranus.
