Rayleigh's voice did not make Roger feel better, because in the world that only he could sense right now, he seemed to see the shadow of a demon.
That demon hid in the black fog in the sky, faintly showing the outline of its face. It gathered all the evil and madness in the world. Just one look could drive a person insane.
Normally, someone as strong as Roger would not be affected, but he was different from everyone else. His Observation Haki had reached the highest level, so under that power that could hear all things, he could feel the terror inside even more clearly.
At this moment, countless darkness and evil echoed mad demon words in his ears!
Destroy! Kill! Get revenge! Drown the world in blood!
He felt like he was about to be swallowed by the evil that filled the world. It was truly too terrifying...
Over the decades, Roger had faced all kinds of enemies, but even against Rocks or that Kraken, he had never felt a bit of fear. Yet at this moment, he truly felt a gap.
A huge gap in strength...
This had nothing to do with mindset. It was the natural reaction of life itself. Anyone who senses that kind of power would be afraid. It was the real response of life. All they could do was use their will to fight against that instinct.
Roger's breathing went from quick to steady. At this time, he finally heard Rayleigh and the others' voices in his ears. That world like a mountain of corpses and sea of blood finally faded away. It seemed that having such strong Observation Haki was not always a good thing.
"I'm fine..."
Roger took a deep breath, then slowly let it out. He looked at Rayleigh and the others beside him, saw their worried faces, and then turned his gaze to the distance.
The world had become completely dark. All they could see was the people within a few meters. But at this moment, Roger seemed to look toward Jaltzburg dozens of kilometers away. He said softly,
"Friends, we need to go there."
Roger did not know what was happening inside, but his instinct told him that something related to the fate of the whole world was taking place in Jaltzburg. If it was not handled well, the entire world would fall into an unavoidable abyss of destruction.
He had to stop the world's destruction!
"I knew you would say that." Rayleigh was not surprised by Roger's words. At this moment, he did not look toward Jaltzburg, but toward the darkness that was still spreading beyond them. He really did not know how far that darkness would reach.
He did not have Observation Haki as strong as Roger's, but just from this obvious pressure and the darkness, Rayleigh could tell what kind of monster was growing in the source of darkness in Jaltzburg. It was simply terrifying.
But it was exactly because of this that they had to go! This was the Roger Pirates!
It was not just the Roger Pirates. Many other forces watching the situation here had the same reaction.
The Marines' actions before had been a bit strange. They had sent such a huge force to station in one country for several months.
They had sent people to investigate, but they only knew that Sengoku and Garp had fought someone in this country, and something called the "Ice and Snow Tragedy" had happened. They had not gotten much other information.
After all, the World Government valued this operation highly and had already sealed off intelligence tightly.
But it was exactly because of this mystery that more people turned their attention here.
When this darkness spread out, many people had already reacted the same way as the Roger Pirates.
They were not going to help the Marines. They wanted to see if they could gain enough benefits from it, preferably watching the Marines and that source of darkness fight to the death so they could reap the rewards.
Genichi naturally welcomed their arrival.
Because in just this instant, the amount of negative emotion points he had spent a million of and almost run out was rising quickly. This was all thanks to reactions like theirs.
He looked at the magic sword stuck in the altar in front of him. He had not expected that when the Sword Demon appeared in Setsuna, it would cause such a big stir. He had even less expected that a million-level emotion points could draw out a powerful figure like the Sword Demon Aatrox.
Sword Demon Aatrox, one of the top regular fighters in the League of Legends world. At his peak, he had the power to kill gods like Ornn. Even in his weakened Darkin state, he still had top-level strength.
However, the current Aatrox could not even be considered in his Darkin state. He was a Darkin sealed in a weapon, without his own body. He could only use his will to possess a mortal holding this sword, so his strength had dropped once again.
Genichi did not yet have the ability to break the magic trapping the Sword Demon, so he could only let Aatrox stay sealed in the sword. But even so, he was still a powerful being, definitely stronger than the top fighters in the current Pirate King world.
Genichi did not know if Aatrox was the top in the million-level character cards, but at least he was very satisfied now.
Because Aatrox fit well with the demon lord role he planned to summon next. After Aatrox appeared, Genichi noticed that million-level character cards had a line in their description about his purpose being reasonable.
At this level, the characters seemed to have their own convictions. This conviction was not easy to erase. That meant a million-level world-destroying demon king would not go save the world, and similarly, a million-level great hero would never kill innocents without reason.
This also gave him a small limit. After all, these characters were summoned by him using emotion power. It made sense that such powerful lives had matching emotions.
Besides, he had never planned for Sword Demon Aatrox to be a great good person.
Moreover, he still had absolute control over all his clones, even million-level Aatrox was no exception.
"It's a shame Aatrox is just a sword right now. Otherwise, I would want to test how many powers he can handle and see if he can become even stronger."
Genichi thought to himself. The next moment, he controlled Aatrox to pull back all the darkness he had released before. That pressure, which had spread who knows how far, made people breathe a sigh of relief. But the next moment, even denser darkness spread out.
Darker than before, it instantly covered the entire Jaltzburg. But it did not spread outward anymore. It just turned the whole country pitch black...
