Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly.

That wasn't a smile; it was a deeper, more profound sense of relief that came from the depths of the soul.

“I am never afraid of disappearing, because I can survive without this planet. That is the power of the Rinnegan. There is a difference in our levels.”

The light surged from Bai Yu's palm, but instead of spreading outwards, it collapsed inwards.

All the light was converging on one point, which was right in the center of Bai Yu's palm, so small as to be almost non-existent, yet so large as to contain everything.

That was a singularity.

It's not the kind of rift to non-existence created by the Heavenly King, but a real, physical singularity capable of creating a new universe.

Bai Yu gripped that hand tightly.

The singularity trembled in his palm, like a newly awakened infant, like a supernova about to explode, like a new world being conceived.

"The sun god of Gao Yushengneso."

Bai Yu uttered these six words.

There was no loud noise.

There was no flash.

There was no change that could be detected by the senses.

But the world stopped at that moment.

It's not that time stopped, but rather that existence itself became blurred at that moment. Like a painting soaked in water, the paint begins to spread, the lines become blurred, and the shapes begin to disappear.

The collapse of the red earth has stopped, not because the force has disappeared, but because the concept of the "red earth" itself is becoming unstable.

The boiling of the ocean has stopped, not because the temperature has dropped, but because the concept of "ocean" itself is being erased from the canvas of the world.

The tearing of the Earth's crust has stopped, not because the pressure has balanced, but because the concept of "Earth's crust" itself is losing its meaning.

Im's body began to tremble.

It wasn't the trembling of fear, but the trembling of existence itself.

Im sensed that the bond between himself and the planet was loosening, not being severed, but being "dissolved"—like putting salt into water, the salt doesn't disappear, but its "boundaries" disappear, its "shape" disappears, and it becomes part of the water, losing all the properties of being "salt".

“Impossible… This is impossible…” Im’s voice came from behind the mask, carrying a broken quality that could almost be described as “despair.”

"How could your power possibly reach this level..."

Bai Yu did not answer.

His consciousness was no longer focused on Im.

His consciousness was in that singularity, in that nothingness that was devouring the entire world, in that "primordial void" that was older and more fundamental than the void rift created by the Heavenly King.

There is no light, no darkness, no up, no down, no past, no future.

There are only "possibilities" there.

Countless timelines unfold in the void, countless parallel universes are born and die in the void, and countless possibilities bloom and wither in the void.

Bai Yu saw it.

He saw what the world would be like without the Heavenly King.

He saw what the world would be like if he had never traveled to the One Piece world.

He saw the truth from eight hundred years ago.

That's not a story of an evil ruler seizing power; it's a story older and more fundamental than power itself—a story of domination.

Im spent eight hundred years patching that hole, perfecting that bond, and fusing himself and the planet into an inseparable whole.

Eight hundred years later, it has succeeded.

It is the most successful life form in the world, the most perfect form of existence, and the closest to "eternity".

But it will still disappear.

Because Bai Yu is erasing this planet.

It is not destruction, not decomposition, not transformation into other forms of energy.

Instead, it means "erasure".

Just like erasing pencil marks with an eraser, wipe away every trace of this planet from the canvas of the universe. This includes its past, its present, its future, all causal connections it has had with this universe, and information about all life that has ever existed on this planet.

To erase completely, entirely, and irreversibly.

Im sensed it.

It felt itself becoming lighter, thinner, and turning into a piece of paper blown away by the wind.

The bond between it and the planet is loosening at an unstoppable pace, not because Bai Yu is severing it, but because the other end of the bond—the planet itself—is disappearing.

"No...no! You can't do this!" Im's voice distorted as he screamed, cracks appearing on the white mask, spreading outwards like a spiderweb from the center. "I'll disappear...everything will disappear...you'll regret it...you'll..."

The mask shattered.

Beneath the mask was not a face, but nothingness. A humanoid silhouette composed of pure blackness, pure emptiness, and pure non-existence struggled, twisted, and screamed within that nothingness.

That shape looks a lot like a human.

But it is not human.

It was never human.

It is merely a hollow, insubstantial being shaped into human form by fear.

Bai Yu looked at that shape, his eyes showing no pity, no disgust, no emotion whatsoever.

In Bai Yu's palm, the singularity began to expand.

It's not an explosive expansion, but a kind of "growth"—like a tree growing from a seed, like a flower blooming from a bud, like a new universe being born from nothingness.

But this time, it wasn't a birth, but a "rebirth".

Those things that are disappearing—fragments of the red earth, droplets of water from the ocean, molecules of the atmosphere, rocks of the earth's crust—are not destroyed, but recycled. Their information is absorbed by the singularity, their essence is preserved by the singularity, and their "existence" is completely copied into a new dimension within the singularity at the moment of their disappearance.

Bai Yu does not intend to destroy the world.

He wants to rebuild the world.

The old world is completely erased, and then a new world is built in the singularity using all the information from the old world.

The last glimmer of light in the old world has been extinguished.

The Red Line disappeared, the four seas disappeared, the Grand Line disappeared, the Calm Belt disappeared, the islands in the sky disappeared, the ruins in the deep sea disappeared, Mary Geoise disappeared, Pangaea disappeared, and even the last trace of Uranus disappeared.

All matter, all energy, all life, all memories, and all history were absorbed into the singularity in Bai Yu's palm at that moment.

Then he let go.

The singularity began to expand.

It was not an explosion, not an expansion, not any violent, chaotic, or uncontrollable process.

Rather, it is a calm, solemn expansion, like the first rays of sunlight shining on the earth in the morning.

Starting from the center of the singularity, space appeared, time appeared, matter appeared, and energy appeared.

Ten years later...
