Chapter 642: The Light of Purification
The six black water arms of the fully formed Rain God waved simultaneously.
Its movements produced a piercing whistling sound.
The crimson vortex on his chest spun violently at this moment.
A massive amount of pitch-black water gushed out from the vortex.
These water streams merge rapidly in mid-air.
They coalesced into a monstrous wave thirty meters wide.
The waves surged.
The black water carries a destructive power capable of melting everything.
It crashed down with overwhelming force.
Its target is the magnificent canopy of the giant wooden city wall.
boom!
The black water collided head-on with the tree canopy.
The moment the black liquid touched the leaves, a violent stench erupted.
It had a pungent, corrosive odor.
A piercing hissing sound rang out in mid-air at the same time.
The sound was sharp.
Black liquid flowed between the branches and leaves like sulfuric acid.
Thick white smoke billowed up above the tree canopy.
The white smoke spread rapidly.
It obscured half of the battlefield's visibility.
The black water contains extremely dense demonic energy.
These demonic energies resembled tens of thousands of tiny insects and ants.
They frantically gnawed at every inch of the wooden surface they touched.
The demonic energy attempted to disintegrate these life forms at the molecular level.
The leaves on the outermost layer of the city wall began to change color.
They turn yellow under the continuous flushing of high-concentration black water.
The scorched yellow marks spread rapidly across the surface of the leaves.
Corrosion is taking effect.
Qilin Gom Saint watched this scene unfold.
A smug smile returned to the corners of his mouth.
His eyes were filled with a cruel light.
He stood in mid-air, waiting quietly.
He waited to see the entire forest turn to ashes in the black water.
But the unexpected happened in the next second.
The leaves that had begun to turn yellow stopped withering.
They were frozen in time, halfway withered.
Suddenly, beams of light burst forth from the veins of the leaf.
It was a visible emerald green light stream.
Light streams out from the petiole.
They spread rapidly along the ends of the leaf veins.
Wherever the green light flowed, a miracle occurred.
The yellowed and withered leaves have regained their vibrant green color.
Corroded tissue regenerates at a rate visible to the naked eye.
It's not just the leaves that are changing.
The bark of the entire giant tree shone.
A large expanse of emerald green light gushed out from the cracks in the tree bark.
The radiance flows and shifts.
It's like a flowing shield.
This shield completely covered every inch of the city wall's surface.
Black water and emerald light clashed on the surface of the city wall.
This is a silent tug-of-war.
The black water corrodes one layer, and the green light quickly repairs it.
For every inch the black water seeps in, the green light forcibly purifies that inch.
Both sides are rapidly depleting their strength.
But as the battle continued, the green light began to gain an absolute advantage.
The dark, viscous water droplets were enveloped in green light.
The water droplets touched the core area of the emerald green radiance.
Their internal demonic energy structure was forcibly dismantled.
The black water is like black ice exposed to sunlight.
They disintegrate rapidly from the center outwards.
The melting rate is getting faster and faster.
In the end, the black water turned into wisps of harmless white mist.
The fog dissipated into the cold air.
The entire massive wooden city wall was not destroyed despite being washed away by the black water.
Instead, it flourishes even more because of the activation of its vitality.
New branches and leaves are growing wildly in the purified area.
Green shoots broke through the skin.
The branches became thicker than before.
The Qilin Gom Saint hovered in mid-air.
His arrogant expression froze completely on his face.
His eyes were filled with shock.
His six black water arms remained in a cascading position.
But his pupils had shrunk to the size of a pinhead.
He stared intently at the oasis below.
He couldn't accept the reality before him.
He watched as his prized corrupting power was purified.
That's a power that can even erode domineering aura.
That can even devour Devil Fruit users.
Now, this power has been easily wiped out by a tree.
His lips trembled twice.
Anger and fear surged into his brain at the same time.
He finally let out an uncontrollable roar:
"That's impossible!"
His voice was extremely shrill.
"What the hell did that damn reindeer eat? Why—"
He extended a trembling finger and pointed to the vibrant, giant wooden city wall below.
His voice was distorted with utter disbelief:
"How can something like this be summoned on this land corrupted by Lord Im's demonic energy?!"
This land has long been permeated by the demonic energy of the abyss.
Such pure vitality should not exist here.
The scene before him was beyond his comprehension.
Qilin Gom Saint felt an unease he had never experienced before.
An unease spread from the depths of his heart.
He instinctively retracted one of his black water arms.
Arms were placed over the chest.
He adopted a defensive stance.
The power contained within those giant trees is extraordinary.
That's not just simple physical defense.
That wasn't a confrontation using Armament Haki.
It is a pure, natural power that inherently suppresses demonic energy.
This force made him feel suffocated.
He remembered the ancient legend that Lord Im had mentioned.
Legends about the World Tree.
Fragments of the World Tree are scattered among some Devil Fruits.
They possess the purest power of creation and purification.
But that should just be a legend.
It shouldn't be found on a lowly reindeer.
This thought mixed a hint of fear into his rage.
He was unwilling to acknowledge this fear.
But his trembling fingertips betrayed his inner thoughts.
Chopper stood on the ground.
He was breathing heavily.
His hooves slowly emerged from the mud.
The massive body trembled slightly due to the intense energy expenditure.
Maintaining the city walls required immense physical strength.
Fighting against the corruption of the Rain God consumed nearly 30% of his power.
Sweat dripped down his hair.
But the green light in his eyes grew even brighter.
The light was as bright as a star.
He could feel the breath of the surrounding plants.
The giant trees he summoned were not simple plants.
They are the external projections of the life force within him.
Every leaf is breathing for him.
Each root system is an extension of his perception.
For the first time, Chopper truly understood the meaning of awakening.
He wasn't manipulating the plants.
He is the forest itself.
His life was intertwined with the pulse of the earth.
Sauron leaned against the roots of a giant tree.
His expression was calm.
Three knives were placed across his knees.
He watched it all quietly from beginning to end.
He had already prepared to rush out when the black water descended.
He planned to use a knife to withstand the attack.
But Chopper took the blame for him.
Zoro glanced down at the bandage on his right hand.
The blood had soaked through three layers of gauze.
But under the green light emanating from Chopper, a change occurred.
The stinging pain in the wound has lessened considerably.
A warm force coursed through my muscles.
He tried clenching his fist.
The strength in my fingers has recovered somewhat.
Although the injury has not fully healed, this is enough.
Zoro stood up again.
He twisted his neck.
He drew the three knives one by one.
He bit down on the Wado Ichimonji.
The Sandai Kitetsu and Enma were held in his hands.
Black Armament Haki instantly covered the blade.
He looked at the Qilin Gom Saint in mid-air.
A cold light flashed in his single eye.
Now it's his turn to take the lead.
