Chapter 504: Nine God Killer Equipment, A Mythical Beast That Simulates Purgatory
Step, step, step!
As Akainu and Kizaru traversed the long, red, and cracked passage, they finally emerged onto the surface.
Once above ground, the air shifted from hot and dry to slightly cooler.
Kizaru stretched his body and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"Ahem!" he coughed.
"This place smells terrible, with sulfur everywhere."
After a few deep breaths, Kizaru felt discomfort.
The top of this underground molten cave was either barren or cluttered with piles of rocks.
Black smoke drifted everywhere, making it an inhospitable place for people.
"Let us go! This place is simply not fit for humans to stay!" Kizaru said.
"Let me see…"
After a few seconds, Kizaru confirmed the direction and said, " Let's go straight in this direction to the end. There is a place called Thunder Light Forest."
He held his forehead, his expression uncertain.
"Hm!" Akainu nodded and touched the gauntlet on his right hand with his left.
Immediately, a burst of red light spread from the gauntlet across his entire body.
Silently, he began to levitate.
Curiously, Akainu controlled the power emanating from his gauntlet, which allowed him to easily defy the earth's gravity.
"Can it actually levitate directly?" Kizaru asked.
"What a fine feature!" he added.
Watching Akainu maneuver his body awkwardly in the air, a joyful smile spread across his face.
Kizaru curled his lips and said, "Sakazuki, get ready to go!"
Whoosh!
Kizaru's body began to transform into light, and he reminded Akainu.
Swish!
As Kizaru shot toward the distance as a beam of light, Akainu saw him depart and followed closely behind.
Red light enveloped Akainu, enabling him to levitate.
He could also propel himself like a rocket, making him fly swiftly.
Sensing Akainu trailing him, Kizaru, who had initially slowed, became energized.
If his speed could not match Akainu's, so be it.
Whoosh!
His speed surged even faster, forcing Akainu to accelerate to keep up.
As the two competed, a news bird outside the lava cave observed the figures leaping into points of light in the distance.
Morgans watched through a Den Den Mushi set up on the news bird.
From the moment Akainu entered the magma cave, Morgans had focused slightly on this location.
The magma cave differed from other areas. The Mythical beast there resided deep within.
The high temperatures and suffocatingly dry, hot air were unsuitable for news birds and Den Den Mushi to enter.
This held true even for those imbued with Mythical beast subspecies traits.
If they possessed even a little bit of Mythical beast power they would be considered mythical beast subspecies.
Having stayed long on this island teeming with magical beasts, both the Den Den Mushi and news birds had gained some Mythical beast power.
But this meager power was insufficient to make them strong.
In terms of demon levels, they were merely the lowest rank, D, or even lower.
They lacked the strength to survive long inside.
Especially in the magma cave, alongside purebred Mythical beasts, numerous magma-type subspecies roamed.
Entering meant becoming their food.
However, Morgans had received information from a Yamata Sect representative.
Den Den Mushi might attract attention and cause disruptive changes.
His newspaper could face a significant blow.
This worried Morgans, who needed to keep up with the times.
Returning to the scene, Morgans keenly noticed the gauntlet on Akainu's right arm.
Based on its appearance and the information he had, he immediately recognized that the treasure had fallen into Marine Admiral Akainu's hands.
What luck this man had!
The information indicated that among the nine Mythical beast God Killer Equipments on the island, the Purgatory Cage Hand ranked second.
"Kwahahahaha, dear ladies and gentlemen, let us turn the screen to Marine Admiral Akainu." Morgans announced.
"I just observed that Marine Admiral Akainu emerged from the magma cave."
"Yes, along with Marine Admiral Kizaru."
"However, that is not important. What matters is that Admiral Akainu obtained the treasure of the magma cave."
Hearing Morgans' words, everyone watching the live broadcast focused on one of the switching images.
It showed a golden and red light streaking swiftly.
When people focused on the red light, many were shocked by the magnified figure within.
Since when could Marine Admiral Akainu fly directly?
Another image, captured as Akainu exited the lava cave, highlighted the black gauntlet with red lines on his right arm.
"Now you are all very curious!" Morgans said.
"Well, it is time for another introduction by big news Morgans."
"Cough, cough, cough!" he coughed a few times, then began explaining the treasure Akainu had obtained, satisfying people's curiosity.
"The treasure Akainu Admiral acquired from the magma cave is a fearsome weapon developed by Yamata God Orochimaru."
"According to the information, it is a terrifying weapon crafted with a purebred Mythical beast as its core, capable of rivaling or even killing demigods."
"That is why it is known as the Mythical beast- God Killer Equipment."
Many were stunned by Morgans' introduction.
A Mythical beast God Killer Equipment! Capable of rivaling or killing demigods!
Such a weapon!
Did this mean that man had become a demigod?
At that moment, many Contestants on Mythical Beast Island, threatened by Mythical beasts or their subspecies, were crying.
They had struggled so hard and had not even glimpsed a treasure.
Walking on thin ice, as if in a survival race.
Yet some had obtained treasures like the Mythical Beast God Killer Equipment.
God Killer Equipment! The domineering name alone made their blood boil.
"However, do not be discouraged, Contestants."
"Based on the information I have, the entire Mythical Beast Island possesses nine God Killer Equipments."
"The Mythical beast God Killer Equipment obtained by Akainu Admiral is called the Purgatory Cage Hand, ranking second among all Mythical beast God Killer Equipments."
"I heard that the Mythical beast used to create the Purgatory Cage Hand was crafted by Yamata God Orochimaru to simulate the Sun God's Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon."
Hearing Morgans' detailed explanation, the audience grew even more excited.
A Mythical beast created to mimic the Sun God's signature move! How powerful it must be!
The move used by Nine Tails earlier resembled the Sun King's original technique.
Was this the reason?
At that moment, people pondered this.
As for the contestants on the scene, they were even more thrilled. Nine God Killer Equipments!
So many?
Was it so fantastical? So abundant! Wonderful!
They were not greedy—just one would suffice.
Obtaining one meant soaring to the top in a single step.
