Even with just the sword strike Nox had just unleashed, Imu already knew that he could absolutely not defeat Nox with his own power alone.
This man was even more powerful and abnormal than Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago; this was not a power a human could possibly possess.
To deal with Nox, he could only use non-human power against him. He had absolute confidence in the power of Uranus; as long as it hit, even Nox would definitely die!
"Die!!!"
Imu said viciously in his heart.
At the same time, Imu mobilized the power of Uranus and directly fired at Nox!
Above space, Uranus, which was originally in a hidden state, instantly revived from its concealment, and its thick muzzle was aimed at Nox, who was above Mary Geoise.
As Uranus charged up and fired, infinite energy fluctuations spread out, and the magnetic field in space suddenly underwent violent fluctuations.
"Found it, the location of Uranus has been found!"
On the satellite also in space, Soros quickly discovered the fluctuations when Uranus's energy gathered, thus locking onto Uranus's position.
"Is the firing preparation ready?"
Athena immediately inquired.
Firing preparation is the charging stage. The firing of an Ancient Weapon is not like a regular artillery piece, where you just press the switch and it fires the next second. The firing of an Ancient Weapon has a charging stage, and it can only fire after the charge is complete; otherwise, the Ancient Weapon will be damaged the moment it fires.
"Madam, we have already made the firing preparation. As long as we press the switch now, we can fire immediately!"
Soros said.
"Alright, immediately lock onto Imu's position and fire!"
Athena said.
She did not fire at Uranus to destroy it; instead, she chose to fire at Imu. This was a plan Nox had already formulated.
That was to fire at Imu simultaneously the moment Uranus fired!!
"Yes!!"
Although Soros did not understand why they weren't destroying Uranus first, since Athena had spoken, he only needed to follow Athena's orders. After all, the commander here was Athena, not him!
"Received the intelligence from Athena, aim and fire at Imu!"
At the same time, on Pluto in the Limitless Sea, Shakky received Athena's intelligence and immediately ordered Pluto to fire!
"Sister Athena finally sent news. Hades, fire at Imu!"
On the other side of the Red Line, Lesley also gave the order to fire!
Instantly, terrifying thunderclouds instantly enveloped the high altitude above Mary Geoise, and the chaotic magnetic field created countless disturbances. Nox didn't even need to look; just by feeling, he knew that Uranus's bombardment was about to arrive!
"Hahahahaha, die for me!!"
"Dark Confinement!!"
When Nox was momentarily distracted, Imu seized the best opportunity. He spread his countless dark powers throughout the void, completely sealing off the entire void.
This power completely nullified Nox's teleportation ability. Even breaking through the dark confinement would take a little time.
But this little bit of time was enough for Uranus's bombardment to fall. Joy Boy was taken care of by him using this move back then.
To prevent Nox from breaking free from the seal, Imu even continuously supplied his own power from the side to maintain the state of the seal.
In fact, he was now also under Uranus's bombardment, just like Nox. If Imu couldn't leave in time, he himself would also be bombarded by Uranus.
However, because he was outside the seal, he could leave at any time if he wanted to. As long as it was before Uranus's bombardment fell, he could use instant movement to immediately leave the range of Uranus's bombardment, so he wasn't worried at all about being hit by Uranus.
"What is that?"
What was happening tens of thousands of meters high in the sky could also be seen on the battlefield in Mary Geoise.
Everyone fighting on the battlefield was shocked by this sudden energy fluctuation, so much so that they all stopped fighting in unison and looked up at the sky!
The immense threat emanating from the rolling thunder made them terrified!
"National treasure, that's the power of the national treasure, run!!"
Seeing this scene, the numerous Celestial Dragons were the most terrified, because they knew very well what that thing was: it was the Ancient Weapon Uranus that they, the Celestial Dragons, worshipped!
They never expected that Uranus's bombardment would be aimed at Mary Geoise, aimed at them!
However, what they didn't know was that Uranus was not aiming at Mary Geoise, but had deliberately deviated from Mary Geoise.
Otherwise, once Uranus's bombardment fell, the Celestial Dragons would be completely wiped out, which was something Imu could not accept, as his immortality was based on the Celestial Dragons!
So Imu had deliberately deviated from Mary Geoise, but others didn't know that. They all thought Uranus's bombardment was specifically aimed at them!
"All Pirates immediately gather here!!"
Just then, Esdeath immediately shouted, because behind her, there was a massive spatial gate!
It was the long-range teleportation gate created by Koby, the Door-Door Fruit ability user.
They had already prepared for being targeted by Uranus. Once this situation occurred, Koby would immediately construct a teleportation gate to send everyone away.
"Quick, quick, quick!!!"
Seeing that the Limitless Pirates were already prepared, all Pirate Crew immediately rushed towards the teleportation gate behind Esdeath.
"Quickly stop them!!"
Seeing this, the Gorosei immediately shouted, wanting to intercept those Pirates.
But how could those Celestial Dragons listen to the Gorosei?
Are you kidding? Uranus's bombardment was about to fall. How could they sacrifice their lives to intercept those Pirates?
Although the Pirates' spatial gate could teleport them away, the Pirates were numerous and powerful. Their small number of people could not possibly stop the Pirates.
And the consequence would be that they themselves would not be able to leave the range of Uranus's bombardment. This was something those strong Celestial Dragons absolutely could not accept.
"Damn it, you guys still aren't leaving!"
However, what made the Gorosei most angry was that Gaenie and his five brothers were still blocking them, preventing the Gorosei from leaving. Weren't Gaenie and the others afraid of being hit by Uranus?
"Hahahahaha, you're right, we're leaving now!"
"But before we leave, we need to give you five old guys a little gift. I hope you like it!"
Gaenie laughed loudly.
"Vertical Sword Technique · Limitless Slash!"
As he spoke, Gaenie held his Supreme Grade Sword and slashed fiercely. Suddenly, infinite Haoshoku Haki erupted. That Haoshoku Haki was far stronger than Gaenie's Haoshoku Haki. The moment this Haoshoku Haki appeared, even Saint Saturn felt horrified!
"This is Nox's Haoshoku Haki!!!"
Saint Saturn instantly recognized that this Haoshoku Haki was not Gaenie's, but Gaenie's Father, Nox's.
But how was that possible? How could Gaenie use Nox's Haoshoku Haki?
However, although Saint Saturn felt it was impossible, it was real.
Since getting the robot Emmet, Nox had researched the technique Joy Boy used to seal Haoshoku Haki for others to use.
And he had sealed his own Haoshoku Haki on Gaenie's Supreme Grade Sword. As long as Gaenie unsealed it, he could use this Haoshoku Haki of his!
"Ah!!!"
Saint Saturn didn't have time to think. Instantly, his head was directly split in half by Gaenie's sword, and his entire body flew out.
However, even though his head was split in two by Gaenie, Gaenie could still clearly sense that Saint Saturn's life force had not disappeared because of this.
That strange power was continuously surging out from Saint Saturn's body, used to repair Saint Saturn's head.
This was the first time Gaenie had seen someone survive even with their head split open. He could only say, as expected of an immortal body!
"What a pity, I still couldn't kill this guy!"
Gaenie glanced at the flying Saint Saturn and did not continue the chase. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards Esdeath.
Not only was Nox's Haoshoku Haki sealed on Gaenie's sword, but Nox had also sealed a Haoshoku Haki on his other four sons, allowing them to use it at a critical moment!
Therefore, at this crucial moment, the five Gorosei were all severely injured by the Haoshoku Haki sealed by Nox. Although it couldn't kill them, it could still severely injure them.
Although they could recover from this severe injury quickly, that also depended on the timing..
At this moment when Uranus was about to fall, even if they were severely injured and only needed a few seconds to recover, it would be fatal!
The most crucial thing was that the positions where the five Gorosei were flying out were all in the same location.
This was something Gaenie and the others had already planned, to gather the five Gorosei together in the end!
And in the middle of where the five Gorosei flew out and then gathered together, there was an incredibly tall Ancient Robot.
That robot was none other than the robot Emmet, which contained Joy Boy's Haoshoku Haki!
At this time, the robot Emmet had been repaired by Soros and its program instructions had been changed.
"Confirm target Gorosei, activate final program!!"
The moment the Gorosei appeared beside it, Emmet's eyes emitted red light. After confirming the Gorosei's identity, it did not hesitate and directly released the Haoshoku Haki that Joy Boy had sealed within it!
"Buzz!!!"
Instantly, an incomparably powerful Haoshoku Haki erupted, instantly enveloping the five Gorosei.
The already severely injured Gorosei were immediately affected by this Haoshoku Haki. Most importantly, they were not targeted too much by this Haoshoku Haki.
This Haoshoku Haki was more aimed at the dark power within them, which was the power Imu had left in their bodies. Joy Boy's Haoshoku Haki even followed the connection of this dark power and directly attacked its owner, Imu.
Joy Boy's Haoshoku Haki was very special, like Nox's Limitless Sword Soul; he could directly attack others' souls.
This could be said to be the bane of Imu's immortality, which is why Imu regarded Joy Boy as his greatest enemy, someone who could ignore his immortality and directly kill him.
It was precisely because of this that Nox designed Emmet to attack Imu with Joy Boy's Haoshoku Haki at the critical moment.
"Ah!!!!!"
Tens of thousands of meters high in the sky, Imu, who was originally sealing Nox, suddenly had his soul attacked.
His already injured soul was once again severely damaged after being impacted by Joy Boy's Haoshoku Haki!
"How is this possible, it's Joy Boy!!!"
Imu was now clutching his head and screaming hysterically. He never expected that Joy Boy, who had been dead for over eight hundred years, would still have a remnant of Haoshoku Haki left to attack him at this critical moment!!
"Open!!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sealed Nox unleashed a full-force sword strike, and the dark seal was directly cut open with a huge gash.
Seeing this scene, Imu endured the pain in his soul and wanted to punch Nox back and repair the dark seal at the same time.
However, at the same time Nox rushed out, Toki Amatsuki, who had been in his castle bracelet and had been preparing for a long time, finally unleashed her attack!
"Time Solidification!!"
A gray light wave spread rapidly from Nox as the center, enveloping everything around it in this time zone.
The scene that was originally rushing over was instantly frozen, and even everything around it was frozen. Only Nox could move.
And Nox also took this opportunity to completely break free from the dark seal and rush out!
Although Toki Amatsuki's Devil Fruit was very powerful, the gap between Toki Amatsuki and Imu was too great, so much so that even if Toki Amatsuki exhausted her stamina, she could only freeze Imu for just an instant.
This was another trump card Nox had prepared for himself. Toki Amatsuki had the power to solidify time, which could allow him to turn the tide in many situations!
When Nox flew out of the dark seal, Toki Amatsuki's power instantly dissipated, allowing Imu to regain his freedom!
"How is this possible, there are other Ancient Weapons!!"
Just as Imu was wondering why Nox could fly out of his dark seal so quickly, he suddenly sensed that there were three more Ancient Weapon powers being fired towards him.
He was very familiar with that power; it was the power of Pluto.
But even if it was Pluto, there was only one. Now he actually sensed three!!
Three! Who knew what the consequences would be if three Ancient Weapons attacked together, plus his Uranus?
"Slash!!"
However, at this moment, Nox seized the instant Imu was surprised, instantly appeared behind Imu, and once again cut Imu in half with a sword!
"Ah!!!"
Imu's sharp scream rang out again. He immediately wanted to use instant movement to transfer his body and heal, just like last time.
"Blood Seal!!"
But Nox wouldn't give him any chance. Countless blood surged wildly into Imu's body, wrapping him up and forming a giant spherical seal tens of meters large.
Just like how Imu sealed Nox before, the space inside was completely confined, keeping Imu completely sealed within and facing the constant erosion of the blood power, preventing Imu from coming out of the seal!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
It was also at this time that the bombardments from Uranus, Pluto, Hades, and the satellite were about to arrive!!
"Teleport!"
Nox immediately swapped positions with a blood bat in the distance, leaving the range of the four Ancient Weapon bombardments.
At the same time, Nox also left a blood clone here, controlling the countless blood powers to seal Imu, preventing Imu from coming out of the seal!!
"Damn it, quickly open it for me!!"
Imu, inside the seal, knew exactly what Nox was thinking. Nox wanted to use this method to make Imu endure the Ancient Weapon bombardments. He never expected Nox to use this method against him in return!
If it was just the bombardment of the Ancient Weapon Uranus, he might still have a certain chance of surviving.
But he had already confirmed before that there was not just one Uranus; in addition to Uranus, there were three other Ancient Weapon bombardments. That was a power that brought despair!
He was frantically mobilizing all his power to bombard the blood seal, and the blood seal was being continuously destroyed by him, but the speed in his eyes was too slow, too slow!
If he continued to break through at this speed, the Ancient Weapon bombardments would definitely hit him.
Yes, even if he had unleashed all his power, even at the cost of damaging his immortal body to unleash more powerful strength.
But even so, he still couldn't break through this damn seal in a short time!
