Chapter 416 Ascent
Roy closed his eyes.
But at that moment, he saw and heard everything.
He "saw" the blue sky and white clouds, the gentle spring breeze, and the misty autumn rain.
He "saw" high mountains and forests, where all spirits leaped about.
He "saw" the first flames burning, and people cheered and jumped for joy.
He "saw" the dawn breaking through the long night, and he "saw" the trajectory of fate.
That was the echo of the world.
That was something that existed in the previous world, something from the past calling out to him.
"I'm here."
They're right here.
Roy knew what it was.
As mentioned before, the world he is in now is the remnant of the previous world.
The Pillars of Creation have left this place, but traces of their existence remain.
People from the last world once made wishes to it here and offered sacrifices to it, and it responded to all things in the world to its believers and people.
The things it created with the source energy of lineage factors and that creative power no longer exist.
But the "desire" remains.
It is not the wish of one or two things, but the wish of an entire "world".
of course.
That desire was also bound by the abyss, something no normal person could bear.
But now...
"Buzz!"
Roy slightly raised his hand and placed the crown on his head.
The Fruit Encyclopedia was activated, and the countless "wishes" existing there began to be devoured by him.
Yes.
If there exists someone in this world who can absorb and bear these desires, then it must be Roy.
After absorbing the power of the three seeds of the Pillars of Creation, he was qualified to bear and devour all the desires of the world.
The "world crown" on his head can guarantee that he can free these "wishes" from their constraints.
That is the second step to godhood—the world's desire.
And now...
"Just one last step."
Roy closed his eyes slightly.
That's right.
As he said, there was only one last step left.
He possesses the remaining desires of the previous world and bears the weight of that world. Now he is close to the ultimate godhood. As long as he has enough bloodline factors and energy, he can create everything, change everything, and shape everything.
Of course, this is also the most difficult step.
Because "bloodline factor energy" has always been the most precious thing in this world.
The only one possessing a bloodline factor energy strong enough to be called a "god" was the Pillar of Creation, but it has been removed by Im.
This was the only flaw in Joy Boyle and Davy Jones' original plan.
According to their plan, under the power of the Nidhogg Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, and the Nika Fruit, the destined Joy Boy would also reach the same point as Roy, but the bloodline factor energy he possesses should only be the energy from the three tree species, a degraded version, a limited "god".
Of course, that's okay.
After all, according to their original plan, the "Abyss" that Joy Boy was supposed to deal with should also be in a state of strong restraint, and it was not complete in itself.
Therefore, they don't need Joy Boy to truly ascend to the throne of God; having the power to oppose Im is enough.
But clearly, the situation is different for Roy.
Because compared to Joy Boy and Davy Jones, he possessed a "power" far beyond comprehension.
That is...
"Fruit Encyclopedia"
He murmured to himself, "Convert all the resources I currently possess into 'Bloodline Factor Source Energy'."
The words fell.
Miracles began to unfold from him.
Boundless and incredibly powerful, far exceeding the bloodline factor energy originally contained within the three tree seeds in his body, it began to rise out of thin air.
They surged around him, through his limbs and veins, like waves and currents.
And that is what makes Roy so different.
His encyclopedia of fruits possesses power beyond this world.
The most precious thing in this world is the "bloodline factor source energy," which should not have been able to be generated naturally.
However, with him, one can directly exchange money without limit.
And it is conceivable.
With the wealth accumulated by the Twelve Constellations, the amount of bloodline factor energy he exchanged was naturally unprecedented.
But that's still not all.
Because here, in this world that belongs to the past.
There was also a companion from the past who left him the "last treasure".
Roy raised his hand and took out a tattered treasure map from his pocket.
That was a treasure map he had recently obtained from Lox's coffin in the fallen city of Lunaria.
At this moment, Roy looked at the text and patterns on the treasure map.
All those patterns and textures were exactly the same as the location he was in at that moment.
So he looked at the "smiley face" drawn on the treasure map, which symbolized the location of the treasure.
He gently lifted his hand.
The next moment, the earth of that world silently parted, the scorched earth bowing to him, and the shattered core of the earth waving to him.
And deep within that land, Roy saw the city.
That city, which is made entirely of countless, even innumerable, gold, comes from ancient times.
That is one of the most longed-for legends among those who pursue the Grand Line.
That is the "Golden Land" created by the Moon People who came from beyond the heavens, using their endless bloodline factor energy and resources.
That is.
【Ancient City - Shandora】
"You've fulfilled the agreement perfectly, Rocks."
Roy then smiled.
After seeing the final treasure map left by Lox.
He immediately understood that the treasure recorded on this treasure map must be the ancient city of Shandora, which was taken away from the Sky Island by Locus.
This city, which contains endless gold, is also the final step on the path to godhood in Loyden.
The reason why Rocks didn't leave Shandora on Skypiea was quite simple—Roy told him that if he left Shandora on Skypiea, the island would temporarily fall into Enel's hands.
Besides, if Roy had obtained this endless "money" as a resource at that time, he would have chosen to use it recklessly since he had not yet realized what the bloodline factor energy was and had no concept of the truth of the world.
Therefore, at the Valley of the Gods, Rocks had already promised that he would take these treasures with him and leave them at the most important moment and in the most crucial place.
That is... this very moment.
As a member of the David clan, and a David who had become the overlord of the seas with the world as his goal, Rocks naturally knew of the existence of Laugh Tale, and even knew its exact coordinates. To him, the four Road Poneglyphs were not some rare or difficult-to-obtain treasures.
However, as David, he had no original intention of going to this final island, which was not yet the right time.
Until he made a promise with Roy.
"I will place the treasure where you need it most, and where no one else will ever know about it."
And here is the answer.
The seal left by Joy Boy is incredibly powerful; under normal circumstances, no one except Roy could possibly pass through the barrier of Laugh Tale.
But Rocks' ability allows it.
With his ability to influence an area several kilometers in radius, he can continuously "space-transfer" the entire Shandora along with himself.
Until, this ancient city was preserved here.
He did this so that his chosen companions could complete that final "leap" when they arrived at the Promised Land in the last moments.
"Let's go!"
In that instant, Roy seemed to hear Lox's loud laughter.
So, Roy grinned too.
He raised his hand and slowly aimed it at the city built of gold.
As the city was swallowed up by the Fruit Encyclopedia.
[A very large number of Berries has been obtained; current Berries count is...]
Looking at the seemingly "infinite" numbers behind them.
Roy no longer held back.
The even more powerful bloodline factors continue to surge and be created, until they become like the sea, like mountains, like the world itself.
then.
"Let's go."
He ascended to the throne of God.
