The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

Can our own kind really "die"?

For eight hundred years, they have been accustomed to being high above others, regarding all living beings as ants, and dominating the world at will with their immortality and supreme authority.

In their worldview, they themselves are synonymous with "invincibility" and "eternity".

It is an existence that is distinct from all mortal life and is almost "godlike".

It is precisely this deep-rooted, absolute arrogance and "fearlessness" based on "immortality" that fuels this.

It was this that allowed them to look down upon all the struggles in the world, even when facing a formidable foe like "Skyquake".

Deep down, they always had the confidence that "no matter what, we will not die."

But just now, right in front of them!

This absolute guarantee of "immortality," this "specialness" that transcends all other life.

It was mercilessly and completely shattered by Gern's bizarre and terrifying slash!

Unlike before when he was cut in half, Nasujuro did not regenerate quickly or reform in the dark energy; instead, he... died completely.

When the "impossible" becomes the "possible"

When "eternity" is proven not to be absolute

When the corpse of one's own kind is truly laid out before one's eyes...

A kind of being originating from the deepest level of life, suppressed for eight hundred years by a pact with the abyss.

That emotion that humans possess, called fear, became a beast that had broken free of its shackles.

It madly broke through their strong mental defenses.

It began to ravage and spread within their cold, divine souls!

That wasn't a fear of pain or failure, but the ultimate fear that "existence" itself might be erased!

It is the fear of the disillusionment with "eternity"!

It is the fear that the authority of "God" is being shaken!

This fear chilled them to the bone!

"Kill him!!!"

A roar shattered the silence!

It is Feng Xi (Wochuli Sheng)!

The huge boar's head rose up, its gaze fixed on Gern, who stood in the distance holding a knife!

"Kill Tianzhen!!! At all costs!!! Immediately!!!"

Vocuri Saint's voice was distorted, shrill, and filled with an unprecedented urgency and madness!

Nasujiro Sei's "death" made him fully understand

We can't give this monster any more chances! We can't hold back any longer!

We must focus fire! Instant kill! Before the nascent fear in their hearts completely consumes their fighting spirit!

"Forget about Straw Hat Boy!!" Sacred Worch of Vochuli roared, his massive body charging forward once more, his target Gern!

"Everyone! Kill Tianzhen first!!!"

This roar seemed to have startled the other two!

"Screech!!" Itsumade (Maz Sei), who had just caught his breath, screamed.

It let out a piercing shriek, and its wings suddenly flapped.

Completely disregarding the fact that he was still locked in combat with Luffy, he changed direction and swooped down at full speed toward Guern!

The bird's beak opened, and flames shot out!

"Hiss!!" The sandworm (Pete Saint), which had emerged from the ground again, burrowed underground once more.

But this time, its movement trajectory was clearly a rapid advance towards the area below where Gern was located!

They intend to launch a surprise attack from underground!

Under the threat of death, the three Elders instantly reached an unprecedented "consensus" and "tacit understanding."

Disregard everything, prioritize eliminating Gern!

The bull demon (Satan Saint) who was closest to Guern broke free from the horror of Nassuro Saint's death the moment Vochuri Saint roared!

"Heavenly Tremor!!!" Satan Saint roared, his six spider legs lunging towards Gern!

Like six giant spears, they pierced through Gern's vital points from different angles!

The venom glands are throbbing, ready to unleash venom and finish off the enemy at any moment!

Faced with Satan's furious attack and the desperate encirclement by the three Elders of the Five Elders in the distance.

And then there's Blackbeard's threat from the side and rear, a threat that, though still palpable, could strike again at any moment...

Gern's eyes were terrifyingly calm as he began to rotate his wrists in all directions!

This is the moment he's been waiting for!

It is at this moment when the enemy is eager to succeed out of fear, and slightly reckless out of anger!

Blackbeard was so frightened by his "soul-shaking" attack that he lost his composure.

We are temporarily unable to effectively use the Dark-Dark Fruit to restrain him during this brief opening!

"Heavenly Tremor - Eight Extremes Jade!"

Gern shouted in a low voice, his left hand with fingers spread wide and palm facing upward!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz..."

Eight fist-sized, pure white orbs of light, vibrating at high frequencies and radiating a destructive aura, instantly coalesced above his palm!

The moment the eight "Eight Extreme Jade" appeared, they automatically locked onto the six spider legs that Satan Saint had sent.

It transformed into eight white streaks of light and shot out!

The eight Eight Extreme Jade Orbs collided with the target almost simultaneously and detonated instantly!

The six spider legs that Satan Saint had thrust at him cracked, twisted, and even broke in part amidst the violent shock and explosion!

The momentum of the attack was abruptly stopped, and the massive body was jolted back slightly by the force of the explosion, resulting in a fatal stiffness in its movements!

And in that instant when the explosion and shockwave obscured our vision.

"call out!"

Gern's figure activated Flash, leaving a faint afterimage in the same spot.

His true form had already teleported like a ghost to the front of Satan Saint, who was leaning back due to the explosion and whose upper body was wide open!

Satan Saint's eyes reflected Gern's body, filled with utter horror!

Instinctively, it wanted to retract its spider legs in defense, to spit venom, to activate its "fierce eye"...

But it's too slow!

The black blade "Eight Desolations" in Gern's hand had transformed into a straight black line from bottom to top.

Without any hindrance, it pierced through Satan Saint's jaw!

"Pfft!!"

The blade pierced through the skin and flesh, going straight in!

It pierced through Satan's chin, through his mouth and palate, and finally emerged from directly above his head!

Satan's roar abruptly stopped, turning into a whirring, breathless sound!

His entire head was pierced and lifted by the "Eight Directions"!

The excruciating pain and penetrating wound caused the rest of his body to completely lose control, shaking and convulsing violently!

Gern's movements did not falter in the slightest; in fact, they became even more fluid and violent.

With a sudden upward jerk of his right hand gripping the hilt of the knife, he lifted Satan Saint's head even higher!

At the same time, his feet shot up with lightning speed and slammed into Satan Saint's chin, which was pierced by the knife!

Leverage external forces! Turn the tide!

Gern used the knife as an axis and the chin of the Saint Satan as a fulcrum.

The entire body performs a clean and crisp somersault in mid-air, like a gymnast.

Then, head down, feet up, and push off with both legs again!

"Hey!"

Using the force of this push and the leverage effect of the flip,

Gern forcefully pulled out the "Eight Desolations" that had pierced through Satan Saint's head!

Satan's broken head lost its support and swayed and drooped.

And Gern had already adjusted his posture the moment he landed!

His right fist had somehow been retracted to his waist.

At the same moment, one of the seven star rings in the sky disappeared, collapsing onto the fist's edge.

There was no radiance, no outward display of dominance.

There is only one ultimate form of "stillness".

It was as if everything was absorbed by this punch!

"Shattering Annihilation - Black Meteor..."

Four words, eerily calm, came out of Gern's mouth.

Then, the fist was thrown.

It's not about being as fast as lightning, but rather a kind of "delivery" that transcends the concept of speed.

As the fist slammed straight forward, the space in front of it began to collapse and twist in a strange way, even swallowing up the light!

"The Death... Death Nail!!!"

Finally, the fist struck the center of Satan Saint's brow, where his broken and drooping head lay!

"Buzz!!!!"

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Followed by.

"boom!!!!!"

A giant cylindrical light burst with a diameter of over 100 meters

Starting from the head of Satan Saint, it exploded with a roar, shooting straight into the dark sky!

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was completely shattered and annihilated, creating a brief vacuum channel!

The clouds were pierced in an instant!

It looked as if it really wanted to pierce through all the stars in the sky!

The beam of light lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

Stay in place...

The enormous bull-demon body of Satan Saint still stood.

But his entire head, along with a large part of his neck, had completely disappeared.

It wasn't shattered, nor was it blown apart; rather, it was blasted away by that "God of Destruction" so completely that not even a trace remained.

Only a headless demon remained, with wisps of its torso still clinging to its severed neck.

He stood frozen in place for several seconds, then slowly transformed from his demon form back into human form, becoming a headless corpse.

It crashed forward with a thud, slamming heavily onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

One of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense, Jaigolusia Satan Saint...
