Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 229 Matthew: Im, Joey Boy, put up for sale (Seeking monthly votes)

At the estate villa on Long Island, New York.

Despite the snow and wind, Carrie, who was already on winter break, had already gone out to study or go shopping with Gwen and her friends from Midtown High School.

During her vacation, Carrie's own plans were basically tied to Gwen's.

Matthew unusually skipped his daily physical training that day.

Because two people were coming towards him.

Rachel and Natasha.

Reicher and Natasha sat on the sofa. Reicher sat with a very proper military posture, while Natasha appeared more casual.

The two have different personalities and styles.

This was also because this meeting with Matthew was not on a formal occasion.

Even Natasha has to follow the rules in formal settings.

Matthew sat on the sofa opposite the two of them, and the housekeeper, Omily, along with several maids, served hot milk coffee and fruit.

Of all the coffees, this is the one Matthew likes the most.

The sweet, milky flavor intertwined with the slight bitterness of the coffee beans, creating a taste that really appealed to Matthew's palate.

Although Rachel and Natasha have different preferences in this regard, neither of them dislikes milk coffee.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

After exchanging a glance, Rachel and Natasha's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

The two had already learned of this news after being notified by Matthew.

"good."

Then Matthew stretched out his hand, his three fingers slightly gathered together, and in an instant a black and red lightning flashed across his palm, eventually gathering, brewing and compressing, and the outer layer was wrapped in a layer of golden magic patterns.

It displays a dazzling blend of gold and red and black, with streaks of red and black lightning occasionally bursting out from within.

This thing is the Conqueror's Haki seed that Matthew created.

Similar to the previous two-color domineering seed.

Domineering aura is a latent power of the human body. Its essence is the special power of humans to transform intangible perceptions such as momentum and killing intent into fighting will.

This is a description of domineering presence.

It is a very special mode of application, and in theory, it is a system power that only exists in the fantasy work One Piece.

However, this actually works in the Marvel Universe, allowing Matthew to develop the dual-color Haki Seeds and enabling the members of the three major warbands, including Reicher, to awaken them.

It's because Matthew himself generated a powerful aura and then understood the underlying logic of that aura's operation.

He then molded it into a complete system of operation and manipulation, and combined it with his own dual-color Haki and magic to transform it into a seed, which was then activated and nurtured in the bodies of Raicho and others from nothing.

In other words, Marvel doesn't have the concept of "dominance".

But because of Matthew, because of the system, Haki was born from him, and thus this conceptual power that should not have existed in the universe appeared.

Matthew also happened to have learned magic, which enabled him to pass on the concept of Haki to others.

Once there is one, there will be two; once one becomes two, two become three—it's a pretty much the same principle.

If Matthew hadn't awakened Haki, even if he knew about the concept and theory of Haki, he couldn't have fabricated it out of thin air, let alone taught it to Reiche and others.

Many things, once they exist and their underlying operating logic is understood, are easy to implement and spread.

The same applies to Conqueror's Haki.

However, unlike the two-color Haki, Conqueror's Haki has much higher requirements.

Both are related to willpower, combining willpower with the body's vitality to create Haki, but Conqueror's Haki is purer and contains more other elements.

That is what is called extraordinary charisma, leadership, or awe-inspiring presence.

This thing is extremely mysterious.

It is tied to the sense of existence of life, and its underlying mechanism is the suppression of life level, that is, a high concentration of will is regarded by the world as a higher-level existence, triggering instinctive submission or fear.

Similar to the Raiche of today, although the Raiche is essentially still human, their level of life has long been separated from that of ordinary people by a huge gap.

If Rachel were willing, even if he did nothing but stare straight at an ordinary person, the person would be so overwhelmed by the pressure that they would be scared to death.

The spirit and soul were impacted, leading to death.

So Matthew initially developed the dual-color Haki seed, but his research on the Conqueror's Haki seed was somewhat slow, as he needed to clearly understand the underlying logic code.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Perhaps it was because Matthew's beliefs and will had been elevated after the establishment of the Terra Empire.

More than two million people's expectations, faith, and loyalty to him resonated and connected with the responsibility Matthew bore.

This thing may seem ethereal and intangible, but it is actually a logic of how the universe works.

Matthew himself can't even say how strong his Conqueror's Haki has become.

At least in his eyes, Im-sama, one of the pinnacles of Conqueror's Haki, is now just a toy in front of him, while Joy Boy and the like are just tokens to be sold.

His belief after reaching the pinnacle of his abilities made his Conqueror's Haki far more powerful than he could have imagined, allowing him to quickly deconstruct the underlying logic of Conqueror's Haki and utilize it.

This led to the development of the Conqueror's Haki Seed.

From beginning to end, domineering presence has always been important.

As I said before, as long as your belief is strong enough and your life level keeps getting stronger, then your domineering aura will never lose its value.

As for the qualification issue, it's even simpler.

It's nothing more than so-called deterrent power, extraordinary spirit, and vision.

Lei Che and the others have none of these things now.

After all, they all knew just how vast the universe was, and the cause they were striving for was to elevate human civilization to the pinnacle among countless civilizations and races in the universe.

Isn't that a strong enough belief?

Joy Boy's so-called drums of liberation are utterly child's play compared to the ideals and beliefs of Reicher and others.

Who else could be more "kingly" than Reicher and Natasha?

"Come on, all of you."

Matthew snapped his fingers lightly, and a crisp cracking sound of glass shattering rang out. The three of them instantly stepped into the mirror dimension.

Matthew stretched out one hand again, and another Conqueror's Haki seed appeared.

Without him making any move, the two Conqueror's Haki seeds shot out like streaks of light and instantly disappeared into the space between Reicher and Natasha's eyebrows.

Rumble!!

In an instant, dazzling black and red lightning flashed from the surface of their bodies.

Its terrifying power, like a volcanic eruption, destroyed the luxurious manor villa in the mirror world.

Dust and rubble swirled and scattered everywhere.

Matthew stood firm like a rock amidst the turbulent air currents. He stood up and gazed at Rachel and Natasha, who had their eyes closed.

The burst of black lightning suddenly stopped.

Then, as if time had reversed, the black lightning surged and contracted into the two people's bodies.

All activity came to an abrupt halt.

But at this very moment, an incredibly difficult "war" is brewing in the mental worlds of Reicher and Natasha.
