On the day everyone was celebrating the New Year, Genichi finally hit the ten million mark for negative emotion value. Just like he expected, after reaching that level, the emotion value grew even more slowly.
After one million, it gets about ten times harder to gain emotion value. That means, under normal conditions, the same amount of emotion from one person would give a hundred at the one hundred thousand level, but after one million, it only gives ten.
And now at the ten million level, the difficulty has increased ten times again...
It took him two years to reach ten million. Based on this rate, he would need twenty years to hit one hundred million and break the limit of this world—and that's under the best conditions.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. Breaking through the limit of a world really isn't easy.
But at least he had taken the first step now.
He had reached the ten million level!
Aatrox: From the world of League of Legends, the Darkin Sword Demon. Once a warrior who ascended to fight the Void, later corrupted into a Darkin. After losing to the Aspect's magic, his essence was sealed into a greatsword. He can use Darkin magic to control mortals who touch the sword.
The current Aatrox only harbors a ruthless heart, spreading death and disaster, becoming the end of all things.
Genichi was shocked at first, then a wave of excitement filled his mind. As expected from a ten million level character card—the description alone has so much detail.
Also, the one million level cards only described their origins and abilities, but this Aatrox card also includes his purpose?
Genichi was someone who thought things through carefully. From this change, he vaguely sensed that this might be another difference with ten million level cards. Could they have some self-awareness?
Genichi called the card out from his mind. He was now in the core area that even Barrett couldn't enter. The moment he manifested Aatrox into this world, a burst of wild power spread out like a river overflowing its banks. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire Jaltzburg kingdom.
Genichi saw a greatsword suddenly appear in the center of what looked like an altar. Next to it was the super ability training box that Genichi had summoned before. Normally, those super ability users trained their powers here—it could be called a powerful treasure.
But now, in front of this suddenly appearing demon sword, it seemed worthless. Because the moment the demon sword appeared, it released a sky-high demonic might. And it wasn't just covering the Jaltzburg kingdom...
A sense of darkness, madness, evil, and destructive power poured out from the sword, like the prelude to the end of the world. Some great terror was about to descend...
At that moment, the people of Jaltzburg kingdom were joyfully cheering the arrival of the New Year. For so long, they had known something big was happening in their country—a large number of Marines had moved in, and war might break out at any time.
So for this period, they had been living in fear, hoping to survive to the next day and see the sunrise. They had finally made it to the New Year and were ready to release all that built-up stress, but suddenly they felt this suffocating pressure.
Terror...
The sky turned dark, then even darker, darker than midnight, with no starlight or moonlight, just empty void. And this darkness and emptiness spread faster and faster, reaching the limits of their sight in an instant.
People whose faces had been full of excitement suddenly froze. Their hopes for the coming year and their blessings turned to blank confusion as the darkness swept over. They stared blankly at the sky, feeling only endless hatred, despair, anger, and ruin from it.
The Sword Squad, who had been training the Buddha's Palm, also looked up at that moment. Sengoku and Garp glanced at each other as they saw the darkness quickly closing in. Even they felt a bit suffocated.
What a powerful presence...
But what was even more suffocating was the hatred and anger contained in that darkness. It felt like something that had gathered all the negative darkness of the world and exploded, releasing that kind of hatred. It made their skin crawl and sent chills down their spines!
Something was about to come out...
"It seems..."
Under this darkness and oppression, Sengoku said softly, "The final battle is about to begin soon."
Boom...
The dark clouds formed by the darkness swept over, creating a scene like the end of the world, still spreading outward from this country.
In the surrounding seas, several neighboring countries had formed a military blockade around Jaltzburg kingdom. They had sealed it off for months now. Even though the New Year was here, only a few high-ranking officers could go back to their families to celebrate the joyful day.
Most soldiers were still on their ships, doing the same routine work day after day. And today, they finally saw the possible changes that their superiors had warned about.
"What is... what is that?!"
A soldier was the first to spot the darkness drifting up from above Jaltzburg kingdom. He was so stunned that he dropped the gun in his hand onto the deck, and his voice reached everyone's ears.
Before the others could ask what was wrong, they all saw that terrifying sight.
The world had flipped day and night. Even out at sea, they felt the terror in it. The dark sky reflected on the ocean, turning the sea pitch black too, along with that terrifying feeling. In an instant, waves rose on the sea...
The waves grew bigger and bigger, the currents twisted unnaturally, and the encirclement around Jaltzburg kingdom fell into chaos. The same happened inside Jaltzburg with the civilians who had been stunned before—at this moment, they ran outward like mad, desperate to escape this terrifying hell.
But they had nowhere to go, because the human world had already turned into a purgatory!
The end of the world had come...
In farther areas, the darkness kept spreading. No one knew how far it would go.
"Impressive..."
On a small island, the full Roger Pirates crew looked toward the approaching darkness. The vice captain of the Roger Pirates, Silvers Rayleigh, couldn't help saying, "Who exactly... is releasing this kind of power?"
There was no response. Rayleigh turned to Roger beside him, his pupils shrinking as he shouted, "Roger?!"
It wasn't his fault for panicking—Roger was trembling all over at that moment!
