"..."
Gazing at the super-giant whirlpool on the sea, everyone in the world who was watching the live stream—including the three women with Carina and Morgans, the Five Elders, Sengoku, various factions, and the common people—stared with eyes wide open and jaws dropping to the ground in exaggerated expressions.
Unanimously, the whole world fell into silence.
Their worldview shattered along with that large island.
Even Sengoku, a super powerhouse, was no exception.
In this era, only a few people knew about the three Ancient Weapons. Those who knew about them only understood that Ancient Weapons possessed the power to destroy the world. For example, Pluton, known as the worst battleship in shipbuilding history, had the power to destroy an island with a single shot.
However, destroying an island with one shot did not specify whether it was a small island, a medium island, a large island, or a super-large island like Sandy Island.
The Mother Flame that the World Government was currently having Vegapunk repair also had the power to destroy islands, but the larger the island to be destroyed, the greater the energy required.
In the original story, the island destroyed by the Mother Flame upon its debut was merely an ordinary small island.
It is well known that a small island accommodates at most one city.
A medium island can accommodate a large city or two to three ordinary cities.
Only a large island, like Wano Country, can possess several cities and still have a vast amount of empty space.
As for a super-large island, it is essentially a continent. Let alone several cities, it is more than enough to establish over a dozen countries on it.
But super-large islands like Sandy Island are very rare in this world; only archipelagos like the Sabaody Archipelago and the Totto Land Kingdom can compare to them.
Even large islands are very rare commodities in the Grand Line.
For such an island, even if multiple super powerhouses fought on it, it would be difficult to sink it.
Now, however, such a large island was destroyed by Yami's single Ultimate Art.
No wonder the whole world fell silent!
It was simply too terrifying!
One must know that before this island disappeared, there were several super powerhouses on it, including two Emperor of the Sea pirate crews out in full force, and two other Emperor crews that had deployed their top executives and some elites.
But these super powerhouses and first-rate experts of the New World could not stop the island's destined destruction.
They even disappeared along with the island, their life or death currently unknown.
This shows that Yami's Ultimate Art... was unstoppable!
In the face of this Ultimate Art, there was no escape, whether one flew into the sky or burrowed into the ground.
Just as Yami said, once this Ultimate Art is unleashed... Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am the Honored One!
Floating in the air, Yami spread his arms, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
The sky had returned to azure blue, and the golden sunlight shone perfectly on Yami's body.
In the eyes of the world, the current Yami was exuding an aura called divinity.
In fact, Yami was indeed evolving right now; he was completing the final... Ultimate Evolution!
No one could understand what kind of mood Yami was in right now.
After using the Ultimate Art: Great Cataclysm to destroy the large island below, Yami's state of mind surpassed his physical body. That feeling of invincibility successfully triggered his Devil Fruit Awakening.
Aside from the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit, all his Paramecia Devil Fruits, including the newly seized Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit, had awakened.
Just as Yami planned, a chain reaction occurred.
He didn't seize just any Devil Fruit; he only took strategic-level and rule-based ones that could combine with each other. For these mutual Paramecia Devil Fruits, he only needed to awaken one Devil Fruit to trigger a collective awakening!
When all the Paramecia Devil Fruits awakened, these awakenings formed a brand-new ability.
A power that followed his heart's desire, making Yami feel omnipotent.
All Devil Fruits that required prerequisite actions no longer had that flaw.
The Glare-Glare Fruit no longer required the "OK" hand gesture; he could use clairvoyance, X-ray vision, and mind-reading simultaneously.
The Door-Door Fruit no longer required reaching out to open a door; within the assimilation range of the awakened fruit, everything was a door.
The Float-Float Fruit no longer required touch to control objects; it officially evolved into controlling the entire domain.
The Teleport Fruit no longer required touch to teleport; Yami could teleport anything within his domain.
The Mark-Mark Fruit no longer required touch to mark targets, nor was it limited to marking just one; as long as he used the fruit's awakening, everyone in the domain would become a target.
The Ripe-Ripe Fruit also did not need physical contact. Anyone who stepped into Yami's domain, if they did not have powerful Haki for defense, would face the fate of being aged.
This rule-based ability instantly became an instant-death ability on the level of Hancock's, in no way inferior to the life-draining ability of the Mythical Zoan Vampire Form.
The awakening of the Memo-Memo Fruit gave Yami's domain a built-in chaos debuff. People with insufficient Haki would have their memories replay in their brains like a revolving lantern.
The awakening of the Press-Press Fruit allowed Yami to manipulate gravity, transverse gravity, zero gravity, anti-gravity, pressure, tension, repulsion, and attraction at will without any movement.
The awakening of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit allowed Yami to create barriers of various shapes, or even cover the entire domain, with a wave of his hand or even just a fleeting thought.
The awakening of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit meant Yami no longer needed to charge up. He could completely emulate Whitebeard in his prime; a random roar could trigger an earthquake, and his hands and feet could create earthquakes, seaquakes, and airquakes.
The awakening of these Devil Fruits raised Yami's combat power, defense, speed, perception, control, strategic deterrence, and more to an unsolvable level.
Even more terrifying was that the change in his state of mind caused a qualitative change in Yami's will, and consequently, his Haki.
Seeing the Future and Observation Killing—two abilities Yami previously had no confidence in mastering or felt were hopeless in this lifetime—were unlocked and learned naturally.
Yami, having completed his Ultimate Evolution, officially became a trans-dimensional... God Among Men!
"The current me truly feels like I can do anything."
The corners of Yami's mouth rose slightly, and he spoke a sentence very similar to what he said before using the Ultimate Art: Great Cataclysm, but with a completely different meaning.
