Chapter 1890 Reality won't change just because you can't accept it; finish your journey with dignity.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.
No!

Nothing at all!

All that came back from my senses was a chilling, utter emptiness!
There was not a trace of life, not a single abnormal energy residue, and no life fluctuations belonging to Ace.

Ace, all traces of his existence, seem to have been completely erased from this world!

"call"

Finally, Im's extremely tense nerves relaxed considerably, and a smile appeared on his face.

The pressure and sense of crisis that had been weighing on my mind gradually receded like the tide.

Successful.

It really worked!

Ace is dead!

This transmigrator, who was just like him and also possessed a system, finally died.

From this day forward, this world will once again, no, forever, belong only to him, Im!
He will be the sole transmigrator, eternally ruling this world!
As for the lives lost in the battle—Aokiji, Garp, and countless innocent people caught in the crossfire—what do they amount to?
Didn't the dead Ace not care either?
What matters is the result! What matters is that he survived to the end! The world will ultimately be reshaped according to his own will!

In his self-satisfaction, Im even subconsciously ignored the moon that still hung high in the sky, radiating an eerie blood-red light.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi continues to operate!
The caster is "dead," so why does the spell still exist? This contradiction, which should be extremely glaring, is temporarily overshadowed by the overwhelming joy of victory that fills his heart at this moment.

With a thought, he turned around and wanted to leave this completely destroyed ruin, return to the Flower Garden, and begin to clean up the mess and truly take over this world without any more constraints.

however.

Just now.

At the center of the absolutely desolate area behind Im, which should have been empty and devoured even the "nothingness" itself, ripples spread through the space.

A figure stepped out from within.

The newcomer was covered in a set of golden armor, like the helmet of an ancient general, with red tassels covering the armor.

"who?!"

Im turned around abruptly, instantly looking in the direction from which the aura was coming.

The next moment, upon seeing the other person, Im's pupils suddenly contracted due to extreme horror!
A name that he could never utter in this place, in this world, escaped his lips uncontrollably:

"Lufa?!"

What came into his view was the world he had traveled to before, the final villain in Armor Hero Xingtian—Lu Fa!
Information about Lufa flashed through Im's mind like a tidal wave: former commander of the armored forces on Planet Ares, and leader of the Netherworld Legion.

He fought for a thousand years, assisting King Peer in controlling the galaxy. After being betrayed, he led his army to seize the energy crystal, destroying countless lives. He was resurrected twice, and defeated twice by the Armored Warriors.
A ruthless, powerful, and vengeful tyrant.

But at this moment, what surged in Im's heart was not surprise at Lufa's identity, but a horror that could freeze one's soul!

why? !

Why is Lu Fa from the Armor Hero world here?!
Appearing in this world that belongs to One Piece?!

unless
A worst-case scenario, which he had vaguely suspected but had been unwilling to delve into, exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, instantly connecting all the doubts!

Infinite Tsukuyomi continues even after the caster "dies".

The various abilities Ace used seemed to come from the Naruto world, yet were subtly different!

That horse talisman should never have appeared in this world!
And now, the path that has crossed the world.
All the clues point to one answer!
"That Ace wasn't a transmigrator like me; he joined a place that connects all the worlds, something like a chat group!"

boom! ! !
This answer instantly shattered Im's previous joy.

If Ace really did belong to the "chat group," what would that mean?
This means that he, the time traveler, has already attracted the attention of "group members" from countless different worlds.

This means he might be the target of these chat group members' "time travel mission".

This means that "Ace," whom he had just killed, is very likely still alive.
Yes, Ace is very likely not dead.

If the other party is truly behind a "chat group," how could they allow their precious "group members" to perish so easily?

There must be a resurrection mechanism or a trump card to save your life.

If the other group members were weaker, after Ace's "defeat," they should have either swarmed him to kill him or fled in panic, instead of doing what they did now.
They only sent one person, and they even made their appearance in this "fair competition" manner!
This only proves that Ace didn't die; he was simply "defeated."

Now, according to some kind of "rule," it's time to "change the player"; Lu Fa is the next "challenger."

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Im had thought.

Instead of attacking Im at that moment, Lufa calmly said:
"Your strength was greatly depleted in the battle just now."

"I will give you time to recover to your peak condition."

"Then, unleash your full power and fight me."

"."

Is that really the case?

Im took a deep breath. He didn't feel any "fairness" from Lufa's words; on the contrary, they confirmed his guess.

They clearly treated him as an "object" that had to be disposed of, without placing him on an equal footing.

It's a "time traveler mission," right?

Because it was a mission, different people made different contributions, and because Ace "died," he was replaced by Lufa.

After Lufa's turn, there will be another one.

He will only be killed once all members of the group who participated in the "Transmigrator Mission" have received a mission percentage commensurate with their strength.

"Hehehe"

Im lowered his head and let out a low, ambiguous laugh, tinged with self-mockery and madness.

The emerald green healing light surrounding him shone brightly once more, even more intensely.

"good very good!"

Im suddenly raised his head, the panic and despair in his eyes vanished, replaced by an extreme calm and indifference, as if he were looking at something that had nothing to do with him.

This tranquility is not a pretense, but rather an acceptance and release from the depths of the soul after recognizing the unchangeable outcome.

"Since I have the 'honor' of becoming the target of your 'chat group', then let my crippled body make one last 'use' before my life ends."

Im's gaze swept calmly over Lufa, his tone so composed it seemed as if he were discussing someone else's life or death.

"After Ace joined the chat group, he chose the Otsutsuki clan from the Naruto world."

"So, what did you, Lufa, become after joining that place?"

"I'm curious about that too."

Yes, curiosity, not fear of death.

Ultimately, he had initially considered the worst-case scenario that "Ace was a member of the chat group."

However, Ace's later display of power, which seemed to be "simply" enhanced by the system, gradually led him to rule out this possibility.

Now, it's just that the worst-case scenario has been confirmed.

His previous loss of composure was not due to his inability to accept "death" or "powerful enemy," but rather the psychological shock of falling from the clouds to the abyss in an instant.

One second they were overjoyed at their hard-won victory and the elimination of their formidable enemy, and the next they were told that it was only the beginning of the mission and that true despair was just beginning.

The feeling of having hope extinguished in an instant is enough to make anyone lose their composure.

But what can you do if you can't accept it?
Reality will never change because of an individual's "inability to accept" it.

Crying, anger, and pleas are meaningless in the face of these cross-border "hunters," and only make one appear more pathetic.

Since that's the case, we might as well face it calmly.

It's better to see the opponent's strength clearly at the last moment and satisfy your curiosity.

Why not, like a true "time traveler," a "mastermind" who once controlled the world for eight hundred years, complete this final journey with dignity?

Im closed his eyes and began to recover his strength; Lufa did nothing, giving him time to recover.

in the chat group.

An ordinary group admin: "This Im is something else."

An ordinary group owner said, "That burst of attacks just now was a bit too intense."

An ordinary group owner: "Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Momo-Momo Fruit, and Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

An ordinary group owner: "Ace was instantly killed."

An ordinary group owner commented: "The key is that the number of Devil Fruit abilities he displayed is a bit frightening."

An ordinary group owner: "Lava, Ice, Sparkling, Tremor, Soul, Door... and almost every one of them has been developed to the 'Awakening' level!"

An ordinary group owner said: "Normally, it would take at least two years to develop and awaken a Devil Fruit from scratch, right? And that's only because of Luffy and his crew."

An ordinary group admin: "How long has Im been in the past? A few months?"

An ordinary group owner said, "Even if he is powerful and has a high foundation, and can easily develop his Devil Fruit to a high level, he shouldn't be able to awaken it directly, right?"

Su Yunqing was genuinely surprised by the sheer number of Devil Fruit abilities Im displayed, as he used an astounding number of Devil Fruits, and each one had reached the awakened stage.

She wouldn't be surprised if Im had traveled back ten or twenty years, but Im clearly hadn't been there that long.

When Ace met Im, Im might not have been a time traveler at that time.

In just a few months, he's amassed dozens of awakened levels of Devil Fruit power. Is this guy a monster?

The oldest god-slayer: "Having more Devil Fruits is just piling up abilities; it has no meaning other than having more methods."

The oldest god-slayer: "True power lies in the sublimation of one's own essence."

The oldest god-slayer: "But to be able to integrate so many disparate abilities to this extent is not bad."

Although Marquis Voban believed that Devil Fruits were like powers, having more of them only added to one's means of control, but could not change one's true nature.

However, the combination of so many Devil Fruit abilities that Im demonstrated was truly impressive, and at least in his opinion, it deserved praise.

The Great King of Asgard: "Indeed, not bad."

The Great King of Asgard: "That attack just now, below the level of a star, was almost impossible to block."

The Great King of Asgard: "Even his immortality and strength were not enough, because in the end he used the Dark-Dark Fruit to devour everything on the battlefield to prevent his opponents from reviving."

The Great King of Asgard: "If Bai Xuan hadn't intervened in the end, Ace would have undoubtedly died."

Loki, unusually, did not deny Marquis Voban's words, because Im's performance in the battle against Ace was indeed amazing.

Not only did he combine Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, the Momo-Momo Fruit, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit at the cost of his own serious injury, but after killing Ace, he also used the Dark-Dark Fruit to devour everything around him that could potentially revive Ace.

And after doing all this, they deliberately waited for a while.

If Ace hadn't joined the chat group, even with his Six Paths level immortality, he would have certainly died.

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "I can only say that time travelers are indeed time travelers. Although I have encountered some mediocre people in the previous few times, the vast majority of them are still elites."

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "If this time traveler doesn't possess unimaginable talent and manage to develop so many Devil Fruits to the awakening level on his own, then there must be something wrong with that 'Devil Fruit Tree'."

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "It is very likely that it will not only give the host the power of the Devil Fruit, but also instill the experience of past Devil Fruit users in the development of Devil Fruits."

Although Tony thought the time traveler was excellent in every aspect, he still didn't think Im could develop so many Devil Fruits to the "awakening" level in such a short time.

He prefers the latter, that is, when the "Devil Fruit Tree" absorbs desires to condense Devil Fruits, it can also absorb and condense the experience of Devil Fruit users from previous generations, and then instill it into "Im".

Only in this way can we explain why he was able to develop so many Devil Fruits to the "awakening" level in such a short time.

Ace: "Regardless of which possibility it is, Im is very strong."

Ace: "It's not just his strength, but also his fighting spirit."

Ace: "I can switch between so many different Devil Fruit abilities at will without any hindrance, and I can even perform combined attacks."

Ace: "When it comes to the mastery and application of 'multiple abilities,' I am ashamed of myself."

Ace: "Luckily, Bai Xuan saved me at the last minute, otherwise I might have really been caught off guard and ended up in trouble."

Ace: "No, saying it's like capsizing in a ditch isn't quite accurate."

Ace: "I've done my best, but I'm just not as strong as Im."

For Ace, this battle was undoubtedly a direct victory over Im.

He did not let arrogance or pride affect his mindset, causing him to hold back his full strength; instead, he truly regarded Im as his opponent, used all his power, and then lost to Im.

Therefore, in his opinion, he lost this battle wholeheartedly.
