I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Since this is the origin story of the gods, does that mean that after the ancestral god died, the lovers reproduced and gave birth to a race? No wonder the World Tree that the ancestral god transformed into is so green and so tall."

Guardian Deity: ?

“I have another question,” Sieg continued.

"Is the lover of this ancestral god you're talking about surnamed Otsutsuki?"

Sieg vaguely felt that this story was somewhat familiar.

The fruits of the Divine Tree, the Ancestral God, the origin of the God Race, the source of Devil Fruits... these elements all seem familiar.

As is well known, Usopp has the ability to make his lies come true, and the way his lies are realized is often very subtle.

For example, "the giant goldfish that I met when I was five years old", and "I once went on an adventure on an island formed from the goldfish monster's excrement".

There's also Sieg's "The Great Way has been obliterated."

It now appears that the lie about the fruit of the Origin Tree appears in the mythical history fabricated by the gods.

"A fictional myth?" The guardian deity remained noncommittal.

"This origin story does seem to contradict the theory of the origin of cyborgs, but it is unknown which theory is true; these are all just speculations."

"The truth has long been buried in the corners of history."

"If you believe it, then it's true."

"If you don't think it is, then it's fake."

History is written by the victors.

The Celestial Dragons were the victors of the great war 800 years ago, hence the so-called lost century.

The relationship between the angels and the gods was not originally like this. It's just that the gods had a large number of powerful individuals and were superior in combat, so they became the supreme gods.

So, what about now?

“Mr. Sig, I have just revealed all the secret information about the Protoss and the Ancient Weapons without holding anything back.”

The guardian of the myth spoke very sincerely:

"I have only one small request: I have no interest in fighting, and no matter where the Kingdom of God may go in the future, I only hope to end my remaining life on this sky island."

According to the Guardian God's judgment, Sigurd, like the God King, had the World Government as his target, and he had no intention of participating in the war.

The guardian deity did not negotiate with Sieg, adopting a very humble attitude.

During his time in the Kingdom of God, two people tried to negotiate with Sieg: the God King and the Guardian God himself.

The original God-King also had his own ulterior motives. He used information about resisting the Heavenly King to lure Sieg into becoming his henchman, pretending that the God Kingdom really possessed some secret means to deal with the Heavenly King.

His initial statement was intended to steer Sieg in that direction, but the actual situation did not match.

The truth is, the Heavenly King is flawed.

If Sieg had fulfilled the agreement as promised, he would likely have been greatly disappointed.

After witnessing Sig's powerful act of slaying the God King, the Guardian God realized that... due to the asymmetry of information between the two sides, there was a misjudgment. Two unequal individuals or forces cannot sit at a fair negotiating table.

Therefore, the guardian deity spoke very sincerely.

Sieg didn't respond immediately, but instead glanced at Violet beside him without making a sound, letting her distinguish between the lie and the true feelings.

Violet nodded with a somewhat complicated expression, which surprised Sieg.

"He wasn't lying? He's already revealed all the secrets?"

"And his wish was really just to live a peaceful life in God's Kingdom?"

The guardian deity of the divine kingdom was surprisingly devoid of any conspiracies or double-dealing; he was truly just a simple old man who wanted to live a peaceful life.

This is indeed a very difficult thing to do.

Your true feelings don't lie.

The Lone Red was born with extremely strong Observation Haki, giving him the ability to read minds. Having grown up witnessing the malicious thoughts of others, he has always been aloof and has no companions.

The situation is similar for violets.

Anyone who frequently reads minds has inevitably seen a great deal of the dark side of human nature, and that's why they tend to have a fondness for simple-minded fools.

For example, there's Sanji who can read minds in Violet Evergarden, then there's Joker before, and now there's this gatekeeper in front of us.

“It’s nothing, I can agree to it,” Sig nodded.

When he learned that his guardian angel, like him, only wanted to live a peaceful life, he suddenly found him somewhat agreeable.

Besides the divine history that Siegfried was somewhat interested in, Vegapunk also gained a lot.

The gods, who consider themselves the originators of Devil Fruits, have indeed conducted in-depth research on Devil Fruits, and even Vegapunk feels he has benefited greatly from it.

Initially, Vegapunk suggested to Higuma that they go to the Elbaf Sea, precisely for this moment: to further explore the connection between Devil Fruits and lineage factors, to understand Higuma's physical condition, and to make a modification plan.

Now, he has finally gotten what he wanted.

...........................

In the prison of God's kingdom.

The defeated gods were shackled, their faces ashen and their eyes unfocused.

"My heart... my heart is gone."

A god lifted the hem of his prison uniform, looked into his empty chest, and his body trembled slightly:

"These Blue Ocean people are truly a bunch of demons."

Law is a cold and ruthless pirate. He shows no mercy to these prisoners. He can make the gods suffer unbearable pain simply by squeezing their hearts.

"Removing the heart is considered good; I heard some people even had their scrotum removed... These people are too ruthless," a bystander said with lingering fear.

"These Blue Ocean people, their intentions are not simply to usurp the God King's position!" an old man said indignantly.

"I heard there's a bald guy who goes around the streets talking about some great cause, a world where everyone is like a dragon. It sounds pretty scary."

"They're even trying to force us to admit that there are no gods in this world... This is uprooting our race!"

"I see it now, they are a group of evil people who deliberately torture others! Even if I die, I will die as a god, I will never die without dignity."

"Speaking of which, where exactly did we offend them?" someone asked.

The prison suddenly fell silent.

They couldn't figure out the answer to this question either.

Is it like the traitorous guardian spirit, suddenly deciding to help Joker? Is it coveting the wealth of the divine kingdom? Or, as Sieg said... is there really no reason, he just suddenly finds this country an eyesore?

"I've heard that all pirates in the Blue Sea are like this, like that Golden Lion, who acts recklessly, wantonly, and utterly insane!"

While they were discussing it with righteous indignation.

Footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Several familiar figures approached.

One is the guardian deity with the missing arm, another is the giant god, and the other three are Sieg, Charlotte Pudding, and Violet.

The cell fell silent immediately, and the old man who had been so indignant earlier became quiet and submissive.

"Giant God? What brings you here?"

In the current divine kingdom, the most powerful god-king is dead, the guardian god has long since betrayed them, and the god of aging has been killed in battle and reclaimed as a fast-forward fruit.

Some died, some were injured.

Among the remaining gods of the divine kingdom, the one with the highest status and strength is the Giant God, the user of the Amplify Fruit. He also played a significant role in the battle.

But to everyone's surprise, the giant was not bound by shackles and appeared to be free.

This gave the gods in the prison a bad feeling.

"I've come to persuade you," the giant said, his voice heavy with sorrow as he looked directly at the gods before him.

"Only today do I realize the sins we have committed."

There are no gods or angels in this world, at least neither you nor I are gods!

"What...what are you saying? Colossus!" The gods in the prison were dumbfounded:

"Giant God, have you betrayed us too?"

"Betrayal? Laughable." The giant shook his head.

"I've simply gained a new belief."

"During the reign of the God-King, I only hope that my race will return to the sea as gods and seize the power of the world from the Celestial Dragons."

"But now... I only wish everyone could be like a dragon."

“This country should be renamed, for example, the Sky Kingdom, and its citizens should be Sky Islanders, not gods and angels,” the giant god said earnestly.

The cell was completely silent; the gods were utterly speechless, utterly shocked.

"How is this possible? What kind of bewitching potion did these demons give the giant god?!"

"Is it torture? Giant God, you were coerced, weren't you?"

"Giant God, say something, Giant God!"

Faced with the gods' questions, the giant remained silent until Sieg waved his hand, signaling him to step back.

The prison fell silent again, but the gods' faces were now extremely grim.

"Pfft..."

At this moment, Pudding, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hehe...hehe...hahaha..."

Her lips curled up uncontrollably, and the third eye on her forehead narrowed, giving her originally beautiful face an exaggerated, villainous grin.

"Killing me."

"Hey, do you guys know about the Memory Fruit?" Pudding's smile grew wider and wider.

"I am a user of the Memory Fruit, which allows me to manipulate, fabricate, and delete other people's memories at will."

"The memories in the giant's mind have been rewritten by me!"
