Chapter 302: Human-Human Fruit, Model: Writer!
To most people, Teach's words naturally sounded like nonsensical raving.
What 'Divine Power', what 'mortals' — it sounded like the babbling of a lunatic.
However, Uma could understand the meaning behind his words.
Because in that strike just now, the Primordial Ice Teach used was in itself a creation of Source Energy of Lineage Factor.
"A very rudimentary usage method — probably just adding Source Energy of Lineage Factor into the freezing air through Lightning."
"It doesn't contain a wish, but just like Reiju's use of the Genesis Pillar's roots... even without enough wish power added, the inherent power of Source Energy of Lineage Factor can massively enhance the strength of an attack."
That was why that special ice possessed a level of hardness that even three top-tier Giant warriors found difficult to destroy.
Of course, the ability Uma used was similar in nature.
The Samadhi Fire he unleashed just now similarly contained Source Energy of Lineage Factor.
And clearly, Teach perceived this as well — he not only truly recognized the existence of Source Energy of Lineage Factor, but even realized that Uma's ability was abnormal.
[Roy Amos (Slice Clone) — Uma]
[Currently Loaded Fruits: Brain-Brain Fruit LV5, Human-Human Fruit, Model: Writer LV5, Slice-Slice Fruit LV5 (Unavailable)...]
[Fused Fruit — Human-Human Fruit, Model: Writer LV5]
[Synthesis Materials: Write-Write Fruit LV5 + Director Fruit LV5 + Book-Book Fruit LV5]
[Fruit Effect — Gathers the abilities of three fruits simultaneously]
[Effects at each level]
[LV3: Obtains all fruit effects. Can create a 'Book' containing a massive internal space, and use the book as a 'Stage Coordinate' to affect the area around the book.]
[LV4: Advanced fruit development — Can create a 'Script Outline' through writing within the area, thereby affecting surrounding objects and guiding the direction of the plot.]
[Creating things through writing requires the ability user to 'imagine' the corresponding things and events. The more abundant and vivid the imagination, the stronger the authenticity of the corresponding things and events, and the better the effect.]
[The more reasonable the written content is, the less difficult it is to write the script.]
[The fruit's ability can be enhanced through Source Energy of Lineage Factor.]
Indeed, the fruit Uma used was definitely not any fruit Teach had seen in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
The core of his ability was the fused fruit — the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Writer.
The effects of this fruit could be called heaven-defying.
The Write-Write Fruit could create existing or nonexistent things through writing, and alter the state of objects. The Director Fruit, after marking a stage, could control and affect the movements of enemies and allies within it. The Book-Book Fruit contained space within and could act as the marker for the stage.
And the only restriction was the need for abundant mental power and imagination.
But coincidentally, the Brain-Brain Fruit perfectly solved this problem — this fruit obtained from Vegapunk could grant Uma infinite brainpower and mental strength.
The effect of combining all four was the ability Uma displayed today.
Uma could alter reality by writing scripts — an ability that could be called sinister to the extreme.
And especially for Uma, who had already mastered Source Energy of Lineage Factor, he could even enhance the fruit's effects through it.
It's just that...
"You call that power 'Divine Power'?"
Uma sneered. "Sure enough — you are not a 'D', Teach."
By today, he had basically understood the meaning of the D clan.
It was not a race with a true bloodline, but a 'clan' formed by anyone possessing the will to resist Imu and the Abyss.
In other words — if one is a D symbolizing resistance against Imu, they would absolutely never view Imu as a true God.
But as Uma's words fell—
"D?"
"That kind of thing... who cares?"
Teach's figure had already moved.
Sslash!
In that instant, massive pitch-black wings abruptly grew from Teach's back.
Lightning in his hand generated a fluffy squirrel-like tail out of thin air, wrapping around his claws.
Rumble!
The next moment, lightning crashed down from the sky, spreading along Lightning.
Teach's body was flooded with crackling light.
In the next instant, his body — far more massive than a Giant's — erupted with unimaginable extreme speed. The rate at which that terrifying lightning spread was even faster than Enel, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
And wherever he passed, the trailing lightning and black-red Conqueror's Haki seemed to turn into the tail flame of a comet.
He shot towards Uma!
Watching this, Uma still didn't panic.
He merely continued to open the book in his hand.
[Everything in the surroundings will become slow]
He gently wrote this line of text, then waved his hand.
VMMM!
The next moment, it was just as the book described.
Centered on Uma's body, the time in the surroundings seemed to freeze — whether it was the falling snowflakes, the blowing wind, or even the floorboards, crushed rocks, and gravel swept up by Teach's passing, their falling and shaking speed instantly slowed to a crawl.
"The Conqueror's Haki fruit suppression effect is invalid... is Divine Power wrapped in it too?"
Teach clearly discovered that the intense Conqueror's Haki he erupted with couldn't affect Uma's ability at all.
But he still didn't panic, merely forcing a swing of Lightning, now wrapped in crackling electric light.
Boom!
At the same moment it was swung, that invisible power appeared once again.
"Primordial World · Lightning Strike!"
Source Energy of Lineage Factor was added onto Lightning, and the speed of that roaring bolt instantly surged even faster.
It passed directly through all the slowed-down objects in the surroundings, heading straight for Uma.
Facing that roaring lightning, Uma's eyes remained as calm as an abyss.
He didn't dodge — merely continuing to write with his fingertip on the Book of the Stars, flashing with starlight.
[Just like before, the resistance of Loki's soul causes an extremely minute delay and instability in his control over Lightning and the transmission of Source Energy of Lineage Factor]
During the writing process, Uma saw that the incoming lightning indeed showed obvious instability.
Certainty clearly flashed in his eyes, but the writing in his hand didn't slow in the slightest.
[Uma is able to use Haki and Source Energy of Lineage Factor to capture and guide this violent lightning, making it deviate from its trajectory and bombard towards the sky — this is very reasonable]
As he wrote—
VMMM!
That blinding lightning failed to hit Uma. Instead, it was suddenly deflected upward under the pull of invisible starlight, bombarding the already cracked dome of the ancient castle.
The dome of Utgard Castle — which had weathered countless years — was instantly pierced through like a fragile eggshell.
Massive rocks crashed down, but that was only the beginning.
The residual lightning shot straight up through the gaping hole, fiercely striking the eternally frozen cloud layer enveloping the sky above the Underworld.
BOOM!
In the next instant, the entire sky of the Underworld seemed to have a massive wound torn open in it.
Violent lightning rampaged and spread within the cloud layer, and the eternally unceasing blizzard of the Underworld was stirred up like never before.
Lightning fell amidst the snowflakes, continuously bombarding Jotun Snow Mountain below.
That massive snow mountain — viewed as the birthplace of Elbaf — saw the blizzard surrounding it instantly stop, as violent tremors spread through the mountain range.
The next moment, frozen rocks and glaciers formed over tens of thousands of years collapsed and slid downward, triggering an unprecedented avalanche.
At this moment, the giant beasts and Giant warriors originally fighting throughout the Underworld almost simultaneously stopped in their tracks.
"That is..."
They looked in disbelief toward the direction the tremors came from.
"The forbidden ground... something happened to Jotun Snow Mountain?"
Looking at the completely vanished blizzard around the snow mountain and the massive avalanche it had triggered, the Giants immediately realized the severity of the situation.
"Quick! Go report to Prince Regent Hajrudin and Elder Jarul... something is wrong!"
