Chapter 173 The Struggle Between Restraining Forces, the Fear of the Army
Under the combined attack of the four heroic spirits, those terrifying golden vengeful spirits were already at their last gasp.
"Roar!!!"
The golden vengeful spirit let out its final roar, gathering all its remaining resentment into a giant golden spear, which it thrust fiercely at Columbus, who was closest to it!
"Oh no!" Blackbeard tried to help, but was tightly entangled by the vines that were the embodiment of the forest's revenge.
At this critical moment.
"Stop your arrogance! Shandia's anger should not be vented on innocent bystanders! I should inherit it!"
The Shandian war ghost spirit, who resembled Calgara, roared, and the spear in his hand erupted with a blazing light far exceeding that of the Weber cannon.
With a single shot, a crimson torrent instantly engulfed the golden spear along with the vengeful spirit.
Upon witnessing the man's bravery, the burly Indian man expressed his heartfelt admiration.
"Although we are adversaries, your inheritance of the will of your hometown and land is truly amazing."
He had barely said "look" when he stomped on and crushed the enemy.
His actions drew the attention of his female companion, a heroic spirit.
"With such divine power, and considering your claim to be one of the Five Pandavas, are you perhaps the exceptionally strong and valiant Bhikkhu?"
The warrior laughed and replied, "Hahaha, that's right! Beautiful goddess! And what is your real name?"
The woman did not answer.
On the other side, the old man in the clouds flipped through the pages of his book rapidly, chanting ancient songs of the sky islands. The restless remnant souls seemed to be soothed, their roars gradually subsided, and they turned into specks of firefly light and disappeared into the air.
He is dealing with spiritual pollution.
"Well done, two local Servants! These guys are too weak!"
The Brutal Army laughed wildly, smashing the last few raging lightning vines to pieces with the iron in his hand as if playing whack-a-mole, his pure power reaching the extreme of violence.
The Indian female spirits moved with the grace of a dance, each bow draw precise and accurate.
The magical arrows seemed to have eyes, completely annihilating the fragments of the vengeful spirits; her arrows seemed to be imbued with the concept of purification.
The four heroic spirits, summoned by different forces and from different factions, are hostile to each other, but they demonstrate astonishing efficiency and superb combat skills in cleaning up these world impurities.
In the blink of an eye, the few vengeful spirit pseudo-servants that had been giving the Blackbeard Pirates a headache were completely wiped out.
The battlefield fell silent for the time being, but the atmosphere grew even more somber.
At this moment, Webber and the other Sky Island people arrived at the core area, panting heavily.
When they saw the Shandian war ghost spirit, everyone was stunned.
Weber shuddered violently, nearly dropping the incendiary cannon in his hand. His eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he murmured in disbelief.
"That—that figure—that fighting spirit—it can't be wrong—it's the legendary—great warrior from four hundred years ago, our ancestor Calgara?!"
A mixture of emotions—reverence, excitement, and confusion—instantly filled his heart.
Conis and the other Sky Islanders looked at the Cloud Knower with awe.
Although they didn't know each other, the tranquility, wisdom, and connection to the Sky Island emanating from the other person made them instinctively feel close to each other.
Enel's former captain and others instinctively bowed.
Luffy looked at the outfits of the Piranhas and the Indian female heroine, tilted his head, and suddenly shouted to Usopp next to him.
"Hey, Usopp, look at the patterns on those two people's clothes! They look just like Karna, Arjuna, and that super fierce Thunder Guy from earlier!"
"He even looks a bit like Arjuna. Is he one of them?"
The Fearless Army's ears were extremely sensitive. It suddenly turned its head to look at Luffy, and its massive body instantly brought a huge sense of oppression.
"My energetic friend! You just mentioned Arjuna? You've met my brother, the beloved hero Arjuna?"
Luffy was taken aback by the question and scratched his head.
"Huh? Your younger brother? That Arjuna is your younger brother too? Are you also Little Sun's brother? Or rather, the son of that Thunder Uncle—?"
Sanji kicked him on the head: "People in mythology must have complicated relationships, right? Didn't Little Sun himself say they were half-siblings? Asking that is so stupid."
"Oh, your father—that black-faced, thunderous uncle who just flew away—was also looking for him!"
"They also said that Arjuna was bullied by some bad guys, robbed and passed around, and now he's ended up in a place called the World Government!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this, the army's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and a terrifying rage erupted as if it were a tangible force, causing the earth beneath its feet to crack!
"How dare they treat my brothers like this! Unforgivable! The World Government?!"
They were brothers, and when they heard that Arjuna had been insulted, Bhuj's anger was instantly ignited.
He also noticed Luffy's description of him as "little sun" and immediately thought of his radiant older brother Karna, which caused him even more heartache.
The Indian female spirit slightly raised her eyebrows and spoke; her voice was clear, cold, and divine.
"Fearful Army, calm down. Let the reminiscing and anger wait. Our mission is not yet complete."
She turned to everyone present, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Does 'Little Sun' refer to—Yama?"
Everyone was taken aback: "Yama? Is that another name for Karna? —"
Upon hearing Karna's name, the woman showed obvious disappointment.
"So it is I, Yanmi, daughter of Surya. I also wield the power of restraint and death. I have come to suppress this disorder and cleanse this world of its anomalies."
She revealed her identity, and while the Straw Hat crew didn't react much, the Fearless Army's eyes lit up.
"Yanmi? She's the daughter of the sun god Surya, and Karna's half-sibling! Oh, it's you! I've heard so much about you!"
This also explains why she is associated with the Hindu pantheon and possesses great power.
"Anomaly?" Calgara's voice boomed, her spear pointing at Blackbeard, Columbus, the Count, and the others.
"Without a doubt, it is you outsiders! Your existence has defiled this sacred land and brought calamity! You must be expelled or eliminated!"
His goal was clear: to de-Indianize the islands and restore them to their original state.
The Wise One of the Clouds nodded slowly, his voice like the wind blowing through the clouds.
"The ancient balance has been broken. The otherworldly divinity is like a poisonous vine, which needs to be stripped away with the wind and thunder of the sky island." His gaze was mainly fixed on the lingering aura of Tescatlipoca and Indra.
The Wise One of the Clouds said to Calgary.
"We also fight for the deterrent force, but our duties are slightly different. We must ensure that the anomalies do not spread further and deal with those responsible."
His gaze swept over Blackbeard and his followers, the meaning clear: these guys who used abnormal powers and even tried to summon more abnormalities also had to be dealt with.
Although the army was angry, it was not without reason.
He suppressed his anger, surveyed the dramatic changes in the environment caused by the power of Indra and Tescatlipoca, and said in a deep voice.
"Although as a Servant, the mission takes priority, but..." He looked at Calgara and the Cloud Knower.
"If the changes here are indeed due to our world's invasion, our Bhairava army will never aid the tyrant! I need to first consult with the God-King Indra to get some answers!"
He didn't have much affection for Indra; the only reason he had any affection for him was because Indra was Arjuna's father.
However, Indra had already left with Enel, and their whereabouts were unknown.
The situation reached a stalemate once again.
The two Heroic Spirits from Skypiea must eliminate all anomalies, including the black beard, otherworldly Servants, and otherworldly divine influences.
The two Indian spirits' primary objective was to curb the spread of the aberration, but they opposed or adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards de-Indianization.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Luffy stepped forward and pointed at Blackbeard.
"I don't care who you guys fight, but that black-bearded guy, I'm the one who has to beat him to a pulp!"
Kidd roared back, "That's right! Blackbeard's head is mine!"
The Golden Lion was even more blunt: "Blackbeard! You'd better give me your life!"
The Skypiea warriors also raised their weapons, standing behind their heroic spirits, their target the Blackbeard Pirates and the two Servants who looked evil.
Blackbeard suddenly felt immense pressure, and even his dry, sly laugh became strained.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted at Bu Jun and Yan Mi.
"Hey! You two powerful Heroic Spirits over there! We're not enemies! You're looking for clues about Indra and Arjuna, right? I know!"
"The World Government, huh? I have a grudge against the World Government too! We can cooperate!"
He paused, then pointed at Luffy and Roger, speaking very quickly.
"And what's more! That Straw Hat Boy! And the Heroic Spirit Roger beside him! They fought Arjuna! It's hard to say whether they're friend or foe!"
"That guy named Karna seems to be from their side too!" He's desperately trying to muddy the waters and shift the blame.
Sure enough, Bhujun and Yanmi's gazes instantly turned sharply towards Luffy and Roger.
The Bhaiṣajyagurus was particularly concerned: "You've fought against both Karna and Arjuna?"
Roger sighed and scratched his head. "Karna? No! Arjuna, you could say that. But it was a fair fight. He was a decent guy—"
These words only added fuel to the fire for the fiercely protective Bukjun.
With Blackbeard fanning the flames, he immediately turned some of his anger towards Roger and Luffy.
"Since that's the case, let's test your mettle first! See if you're qualified to judge my brothers!"
He took a sudden step forward, and the iron, carrying terrifying wind pressure, crashed down on Roger!
When Yan Mi saw her companion make a move, she felt it was somewhat inappropriate, but the task of the restraint force also included eliminating interference, so she prepared to take action.
"Well done!" Roger laughed, Armament Haki swirling around his fist as he punched the iron!
Seeing this, Calgara and the Wise One of the Clouds also acted immediately.
He charged toward the Blackbeard Pirates, Columbus, and the Earl!
Luffy, Kid, Shiki, and the Skypiea warriors also joined the battle!
A massive battle has broken out!
Fist winds, sword flashes, arrows, cannon fire, abilities, and magic—all kinds of forces collided wildly in the ancient ruins, causing the entire sky island to tremble!
Just as the chaos reached its peak, almost spiraling out of control.
A dazzling and holy golden beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, landing precisely in the center of the battlefield!
As the light faded, a young female spirit, holding a holy banner and with flowing golden hair, quietly stood there.
Her expression was solemn, and her voice, though clear, carried an undeniable authority.
"In the name of the Lord, I hereby declare that the Ruler, the arbiter, has manifested his authority."
"The chaos outside the Holy Grail War system here has seriously disrupted order and violated the rules set by Master Delt."
"Combat is hereby forcibly suspended! Those who disobey will be considered a danger and eliminated!"
The holy banner was planted in the ground, and its immense protective magic spread out, forcibly shaking back the parties who were locked in fierce battle and temporarily suppressing everyone's fighting spirit!
The chaotic battlefield fell into an eerie stalemate and calm due to Ruler's sudden intervention.
All eyes were focused on this unexpected arbitrator.
