Chapter 585: The Desolate God Who Committed Suicide, Ryuunosuke's Decision!
Even Kirito was thrown off by what he was seeing.
When they came here before, they had never heard of anything like this happening. For a moment, he did not even know what he should do next.
The Aragami were still charging straight into the heart of the explosion as if they had lost their minds.
But the moment they rushed in, none of them ever came back out.
In other words, the epicenter had already become a true no man's land.
Even now, Kirito still could not understand what Erwin had used to create an explosion like that.
"This… looks like a kind of warhead a small country developed a while back."
"It's only about the size of a fist, but it releases terrifying destructive power."
"The blast radius isn't huge, but nothing inside it survives."
"And that guy definitely mixed poison into it…"
"Fufufu"
At that moment, Doflamingo, still disguised as an ordinary crew member, stepped out as well. He spoke in a casual tone, then laughed that strange laugh of his.
Only someone like Doflamingo would have had the chance to come into contact with something like this.
Before anyone else could even get close to it, that so called small country had already been wiped off the map.
But what Doflamingo never expected was that the one who destroyed a country had actually been Erwin, the former ship doctor of the Pirate King's crew.
"So that means…"
Shinon looked at Doflamingo, eyes tight with hope.
"There's no chance for the people inside?"
She wanted him to give her the answer she was praying for.
Doflamingo shook his head.
"That kind of blast can't be something you survive with one or two lucky breaks."
"And on top of that, the toxin…"
"I'd say… surviving in that environment would be very difficult."
It was an answer that left no room for fantasy.
And it was already obvious. The humanoid Aragami that rushed toward the epicenter were being eroded and eaten away the moment they got close, then vaporized like they were never there.
Kirito clenched his jaw.
"Contact the captain."
"This situation has already gone way beyond what we expected."
As he spoke, he lifted his Dragon Hunting Token.
"Captain, Mr. Erwin…"
Kirito immediately relayed the information to Ryuunosuke.
At that moment, Ryuunosuke had been preparing to move against Nirvash in front of him.
But when he heard the report, he froze.
Did Vegapunk really die like that?
Ryuunosuke had prepared plenty of other methods to deal with Vegapunk.
And now, before he could use a single one, the man was already finished.
This…
"Link me the video. I want to see it."
Ryuunosuke spoke directly.
Kirito turned the Token's camera toward the battlefield.
Even through the screen, Ryuunosuke could feel the pressure inside that enormous sphere of energy.
At the same time, seeing the humanoid Aragami still throwing themselves into it made his brows knit.
If Vegapunk was dead, then why were these Aragami still acting like they had orders?
"Stay where you are for now."
"Watch for any new changes."
"And Doflamingo, you're responsible for covering the rear. If anything goes wrong, use your Awakening immediately."
"Then run. Run with everything you've got, and take everyone with you."
Ryuunosuke's voice turned crisp, decisive.
Doflamingo frowned, confusion cutting through his usual amusement.
"Captain, these Aragami are basically killing themselves now."
"And Vegapunk's dead."
"So what are we still doing here?"
The way Ryuunosuke spoke sounded like he was already preparing for a retreat.
That was not normal.
Ryuunosuke answered without hesitation.
"Those Aragami must have received some kind of instruction."
"Besides observing, do everything you can to stop them from committing suicide."
"But do not kill these Aragami. Capturing them is the best option."
As soon as those words landed, everyone understood what he meant.
They still found it strange, but none of them could process that much information so quickly.
Ryuunosuke was not even present, yet after hearing a short report, he had already extracted a pile of possibilities.
That was the difference between him and the rest.
"Understood, Captain!"
"Let's move. We trap them!"
Doflamingo placed a hand on the ground.
In an instant, the earth and everything around it transformed into threads, tangling up the mass of Aragami like a net snapping shut.
The others did not have such wide ranging abilities, but they moved in and joined the effort.
Soon, the Aragami noticed it.
These people in front of them had to be dealt with, otherwise their plan to commit suicide would be disrupted.
Their attention shifted immediately.
The Aragami turned as one and surged toward Doflamingo's group.
…
Back on Ryuunosuke's side.
"Something happened to Vegapunk too. This just got even more interesting."
"Now it's my turn."
"Miss Bakkin, remember your promise."
After Ryuunosuke spoke, he shot forward.
In only a short time, he reached the battlefield where Gaino and Nirvash were locked in combat.
"Break."
Ryuunosuke's sword fell in an instant.
The cutting force cleaved the entire A T force field cleanly in two.
In the next heartbeat, Ryuunosuke stepped through and entered the battlefield.
"Gaino, stop attacking him for now."
Ryuunosuke landed on Gaino's shoulder.
"Captain!"
"I couldn't bring him down in three minutes."
"I'm a little disappointed."
Gaino's voice carried genuine frustration.
He had thought three minutes would be enough.
But once the fight began, he realized the problem. Nirvash had far too much stamina.
Every strike landed.
Every strike was real.
But it still was not enough to drop the monster in front of them.
"That armor of his isn't armor."
"It can absorb power and convert it into his own energy."
"They're using us to help complete their plan to create a god."
"So we switch tactics."
Ryuunosuke's lips curved into a faint smile.
Gaino hesitated.
"Switch to what?"
His combat experience was not that deep. Faced with something like this, he did not know what the next step should be.
Ryuunosuke's aura surged, heavy enough to make the air tremble.
"We fight in my territory."
The distorted remains of the A T force field warped even further.
Then a massive barrier formed, swallowing the three of them.
Ryuunosuke lifted the Underworld Pact.
"Blade of the Underworld: Elegy!"
Soul power gathered in a violent tide.
Then he swung.
