"Here? Where? Why can't I see him at all?"

Everyone stood up, looking alert and confused.

"There's no need to rush. Just take your time and prepare. The White Whale and the Witch Cult are still dozens of kilometers away."

"Several, dozens of kilometers away!?"

Beatrice slapped me.

"Stop talking nonsense here. How is it possible that someone can sense something at such a long distance?"

"This is the power beyond this world, Beatrice."

I rubbed Beatrice's head.

Different worldviews have different power systems. No matter whether the power system is high or low, as long as it has its own characteristics, it can shock others when it is brought to other worlds.

It is obvious that the Zero World does not have the perception ability of Observation Haki.

Oh, of course, even those who can use Haki in the One Piece world cannot sense such a long range.

It was introduced in the original One Piece that the mind networks of the four priests of Arpayard can sense the entire Arpayard, while Enel's mind network can sense the entire Kingdom of God.

Not to mention Enel, even the levels of the Observation Haki of those priests would be considered top-notch in the later plots of the comics.

"Anyway, believe me, White Whale and the Witch Cult are indeed here."

Crusch nodded slightly. "Coming here with you means I've chosen to trust you. If that's the case, there's no reason not to trust you to the end. Everyone, listen up. The White Whale and the Witch Cult are still dozens of kilometers away. Don't be too nervous. Stay alert and take advantage of this last chance to rest well."

Having said that, it was obvious that everyone was tense and nervous, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the White Whale and the Witch Cult.

I don't care. If I relied on these people, I wouldn't have gone out into the world to gain power and come back.

With the strength of the Sword Saint Reinhard, the luck of the strongest man on earth, King, the perception, speed and beyond-visual-range strike ability of God Enel, I don't have to worry about any accidents now... unless Pandora, the witch whose power is still unclear, suddenly appears.

Of course, in terms of strength, no matter how strange her power is, I don't need to be afraid of her as a copy of Reinhard. Although the concept of power is above the concept of protection in the world setting, you still need to have a power that can specifically protect Reinhard in order to make Reinhard helpless - the concept of "Phoenix's Protection" alone is enough to make me invincible.

But... with Pandora's power, it wouldn't be easy for me to deal with her if she targeted other people.

Reinhard's protection is very powerful, but it can only make him invincible. In terms of protecting others, he is not as good as Death Return.

So... we still have to be careful and cautious.

Thinking of this, I raised my right hand towards the sky.

"Wan Lei."

Volume 102: Chapter : Tenderness and Desire

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

Beatrice looked up in astonishment as the sky above gradually darkened, and in an instant it was covered with dark clouds. Then, in the distant direction, lightning surged like snakes.

"what have you done?"

Beatrice turned around and looked at the man holding her.

This man did it.

Beatrice was well aware of this.

But... he could actually control thunder? What kind of magic was this?

Not only did she not feel any fluctuation of magic power, even with Beatrice's knowledge, she had never heard of any magic in the world that could control thunder in the sky!

"This is the power beyond this world, Beatrice."

The man said this again.

But this time, Beatrice finally stopped taking it as a joke.

Aside from the explanation that it wasn't a power from this world, Beatrice was completely unable to comprehend this matter that was beyond her comprehension.

"So what did you do?"

"Let's clear out the miscellaneous soldiers first. The ordinary members of the Witch Cult, as well as the Archbishops of Sloth and Gluttony, have all been struck by lightning. The only ones left are White Whale, Archbishop Greed, and his wives."

"In fact, the White Whale can be killed, but if we defeat it here, it will make others feel uninvolved. So I decided to stay here and let everyone participate in the White Whale subjugation battle."

Beatrice was not surprised at all that the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony and the Sin Archbishop of Sloth were also defeated. After all, even she could not figure out how to contend with the power of thunder.

If Beatrice is prepared for the thunder before it falls, she will be able to block it. Not only thunder, but even the strongest attack can be blocked by Beatrice. As long as she has enough magic power, her Yin magic is so strong that she is not afraid of any frontal attack.

However, if she defended herself after the lightning struck... she would probably be knocked down before she even had time to think about defending herself.

She is like this, and the Archbishop of Sin of the Witch Cult is naturally no exception.

Even though he possesses the power that transcends humanity, the Archbishop of Sin is still only human.

Mortal humans cannot withstand the power of thunder.

"This power... is so cheating."

"Indeed, I've always felt that this beyond-visual-range attack ability was quite cheating, practically invincible. It's normal that invincible abilities are usually assigned to weaker characters, like the Archbishop of Greed, Regulus, and the God Enel."

You can despise Enelu, but you cannot despise the Thunder Fruit.

You can attack the enemy unilaterally from a distance of dozens of kilometers. It's only you who hits the enemy, and the enemy has no chance to hit you. Moreover, it's a powerful attack like lightning that cannot be avoided at all. As long as you don't do stupid things and get close to the enemy, you will be purely invincible. So it's no wonder that the Thunder Fruit is the only ability that has been clearly stated to be invincible in the original comics so far - but the person who possesses such an invincible ability is a moron and is completely defeated by the Rubber Fruit in the world setting. It can only be said that you deserve to be a villain.

After all, you can't let the villain be truly invincible.

——But I’m not stupid, and I will never get close to an enemy that can threaten me.

And I'm not a villain.

So I'm invincible.

What? I told you before that I'm a real man and would never use such a cheating fighting method?

Did I say that?

Maybe you have an illusion.

"Alright, the white whale is still coming this way, so there's no need to go and intercept it. But I'll handle the Archbishop of Greed alone."

I stood up, put Beatrice down, and stretched slightly.

"Crusoo, is this okay? Of course, if you don't even want to participate in this, I can also take care of the white whale without much effort."

Crusch, who was still shocked by the scene of the lightning snakes dancing wildly in the sky, looked at me after hearing what I said and gave me a deep look.

"...If possible, I hope to eliminate the White Whale with as few casualties as possible. However, if, in the name of an alliance, you are left alone to do everything, then my subordinates and I will all be ashamed to face the world."

I smiled when I heard Crusch's decision.

"Don't worry, there will be no casualties in this war."

Crusch also smiled: "With such a promise from you, I can give it a try."

I nodded to her, and then... I instantly turned into lightning and disappeared.

"Now I finally believe it completely. He truly possesses a power that even Sir Reinhardt cannot defeat."

Crusch looked at the man who disappeared in a flash of lightning and said:

"And his strength goes far beyond mere physical strength. In every way, he is more suitable to be king than us so-called candidates for the throne... except for one thing."

"Subaru is a little too indifferent to us, to the Lugnica Kingdom... to this world, isn't he?" Emilia said with a smile. "I feel that way sometimes too. It's as if Subaru knows everything, and is so powerful that nothing in this world can stump him. Because of that, isn't it easy for him to become bored with everything? But... I think even with this Subaru, no, precisely because he is this Subaru, he must feel lonely."

Crusch looked at Emilia in surprise.

Emilia smiled earnestly and said, "Whether he's helping me, Rem, Priscilla, or you, Cruel, the reason is definitely because he's too afraid of loneliness. So, don't worry about anything, just treat him as you wish—because he's actually very gentle, so there's nothing to worry about."

"...Shenlong's vision is indeed correct."

"Ok?"

Emilia tilted her head in confusion at Crusch's words.

Crusch smiled: "I just finally understand why Natsuki Subaru chose you."

"Because I'm pretty...that's what Subaru said. He probably wasn't lying to me."

"Indeed, that's probably why. But that man wouldn't choose to help you just for that reason." Crusch said with a smile, "Given his personality, if he's just interested in your looks, I think he'd be more likely to capture you and keep you in a cage."

"He wouldn't do such a thing... although it's hard to say that." Emilia smiled bitterly.

"It seems you are also aware that he is not just gentle."

Crusch turned and looked into the distance, his smile gone, his tone calm.

"His undisguised lust is enough to make people suspect that he is actually the Archbishop of Sin."

Volume 103: Chapter : Tenderness vs. Desire

"You actually said that my lust is enough to make people suspect that I'm the Archbishop of Greed? Crusch really doesn't understand me at all. As expected, Emilia-tan understands me the best! That's right, there's no such thing as lust. I'm just a man so cool that girls can throw themselves at me."

Standing before the Archbishop of Greed, Regulus, and his wives, I could still hear the conversation between Emilia and Crusch through Enel's ability, and I couldn't help but complain to Regulus:

"Are you right? The true Archbishop of Greed?"

"Who are you?" Regulus said impatiently, "You suddenly come to me and say some incomprehensible words. Do you know that you are not taking me seriously? Do you know that you are violating my basic rights as a human being?"

"'Who are you?' That question is incredibly rude. I'm free to go wherever I want and say whatever I want, but asking 'Who are you?' clearly shows you have absolutely no regard for me and no respect for me. It's simply too much. Do you understand that you're violating my human rights and disregarding my dignity as a human being?"

"Huh? You showed up in front of me on your own accord. It's your responsibility to announce your name and then politely ask for it. It's my freedom to decide whether to return it or not. Are you trying to dictate to me? To dominate me? To treat me like a slave to do whatever you want? I asked you who you are because I didn't know who you were, so I asked you. This is a very polite behavior, but you think it's rude!? Do you know that you are using your own ideas to deny mine? You are trying to use your cognition to invade mine and change my thinking. How can there be such a greedy person like you in this world? Is my personality not worth mentioning in your eyes?"

"You're using your own self-centered understanding to reject mine. You're using your own self-centered viewpoint to negate mine. Are you trying to change my understanding? My three perspectives? My thoughts? You're violating my most basic human thinking like this, and yet you still dare to accuse me of being too lustful? Do you understand how disrespectful it is to judge someone else so selfishly? You're showing no respect for me, and yet you refuse to apologize. You're truly rude, devoid of character, and so lustful that it's unacceptable."

"enough!"

Regulus covered his face with one hand, looked at me with his left eye that was not covered by his palm, and laughed in anger.

"Even someone as magnanimous as me can no longer tolerate the existence of someone like you who doesn't understand what people are saying."

"Normal people and madmen truly cannot communicate with each other. Trying to communicate with you was truly the biggest mistake of my life. But in the end, let me say one last word to you."

I sighed with regret, then glanced around at Regulus' wives, smiled softly, and said:

"Your wives are really great. Thank you for bringing them to me. From now on, they are mine."

Puff!!! ...

Regulus waved his hand towards me without hesitation.

The next moment, the wind stirred up by his hand cut my body in half like a knife.

"So that's how it is. You're the kind of scumbag who covets other people's wives!"

In fact, that gentle breeze is sharper than any blade in the world.

Because Regulus's power to stop time can not only work on himself, but also on everything he touches.

By stopping time, the air can maintain an "unchanging" and invincible state. Then, when this "absolutely unchanging" air collides with other things, it will naturally only cause changes to those things that are collided with.

To put it simply, with Regulus's attack just now, even if you let that pervert Kaido come, he would not be able to withstand it. He would definitely be cut in two and die instantly... if he was stupid enough to try to use his own body to resist it.

——But unfortunately, I am not Kaido, I am Enelu.

So I used my body to resist and was unharmed. I was just hit and there was a loud noise. Then the broken part of my body turned into golden lightning and began to heal slowly.

In this state, I stroked my chin and looked at Regulus, saying lightly, "Don't you think it's a waste to let them match a wanker like you?"

"What did you say!?"

Regulus's face darkened, as if I had hit him in the sore spot... and I had.

Seriously, Regulus is a coward.

The principle of Regulus' invincibility is that he stopped all changes in himself with the power of stopping time. Because the body will never change under the concept of stopping time, he will naturally not be harmed.

But on the other hand, as a matter of course, since his body always remains in an "absolutely unchanged" state, then... he certainly can't get an erection.

Although he greedily plundered many wives, he had no sexual desire at all. Normally, he would not even touch his wives... because he was a coward.

A coward who doesn't dare to relinquish his power and can only use this method to maintain his sense of security.

Regulus has no strength of his own, and all his power comes from the effect of authority. Once the authority is removed, even his wives may be able to kill him.

And each of Regulus' wives hated him so much that if they could take him with them when they died, they would definitely commit suicide without hesitation. In this situation where they could not even trust the people around them, Regulus certainly would not dare to remove the effect of his power.

It's your own fault.

That’s the only evaluation I can give.
