Chapter 1674 The Ancestral Giant
The impact and shock of such a horrific explosion are often more apparent to those outside the Sabaody Archipelago, especially to those in high positions with broad perspectives, than to those directly involved.
The plumes of smoke and dust from the explosion, rising thousands of meters into the sky, could be clearly seen even from the distant Marineford.
In a broader view, it is easier to spot that inside that churning giant column of smoke and dust, there seems to be an unimaginably huge black outline, moving slowly and heavily.
This blurry outline alone is enough to spark countless speculations: what kind of terrifying monster could be born and roam in the core of such a devastating explosion?
Juvia erected a massive defensive water curtain for the surviving islands, a feat that could only be described as miraculous. At a rough glance, its coverage area seemed to be roughly the same size as the enormous black shadow that appeared and disappeared in the smoke and dust.
This further confirms the terrifying size of the shadowy figure.
On the battlefield of Marineford, the distant, dazzling flames and strange phenomena briefly diverted the attention of the navy and pirates engaged in fierce combat.
Many people instinctively looked in the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago, their hearts filled with doubt and uncertainty.
High in the sky, Blackbeard Teach had only glanced at the distant explosion out of the corner of his eye, his expression indifferent.
A super bomb capable of destroying an island? Theoretically, it's not impossible to build; it's not unusual.
But when he focused his gaze and noticed the enormous, strangely shaped black shadow that was faintly visible within the towering column of smoke and dust, his usually calculating eyes suddenly narrowed.
The playful smile on his face vanished, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
"That outline..."
Teach muttered to himself, certain pieces of information flashing through his mind, "The Human King that Sky Curtain once vaguely mentioned?"
Human King?
This word, like a bolt of lightning, cleaved through the fog of his memory.
Among the taboo rumors surrounding the Void Century and the Ancient Weapons, besides the three well-known Ancient Weapons—Poseidon, Hades, and Uranus—which possess the power to overturn the world, there are others.
It also seems to vaguely mention a fourth party who has long been forgotten or buried by the river of history—the Human King!
The Human King is not an external weapon, but a special, illogical Devil Fruit, or rather, a cursed inheritance of power.
From its very inception, it was endowed with a pure sense of destruction; its existence seemed to be solely for destruction, for ending, for dragging the entire world into utter nothingness and annihilation.
This is a conceptually terrifying biological weapon that transcends the comprehension of most living beings.
Alan Yeager is the King of Men. Teach's eyes flashed with a sharp light. A piece of information that was originally just speculation and had not been confirmed seemed to have been confirmed in the face of this world-destroying scene.
"Heh, interesting, very interesting!"
A surge of intense greed instantly replaced the previous seriousness. Teach grinned, revealing his uneven teeth. "Suddenly... I'm thinking of inviting him to join us."
He chuckled softly, appreciating all that was powerful, that power could bring chaos.
Allen, or rather the King of Men, may have dangerous and uncontrollable abilities, but before he destroys the world, he could be used by the Blackbeard Pirates to become the strongest weapon to destroy other enemy forces and clear obstacles.
"I wonder when the other three ancient weapons will appear?"
Wise people never go against the tide of the world.
The emergence of the Human King may foreshadow an even more turbulent and chaotic era to come.
Neptune, Hades, Uranus... these legendary powers may become the focus of fierce competition among various forces in the future.
Inside the water curtain of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Sani looked up at the thick, all-encompassing smoke and dust outside the water curtain, her beautiful hair moving without wind.
He pursed his lips slightly and muttered to himself, "Although it might dirty my darling's hair, I still want to see for myself what you really look like!"
The next moment, to the slightly surprised looks of Atomic Samurai and Juvia, Sani's colorful long hair began to grow wildly like never before.
Each strand of hair seemed to possess boundless vitality, twisting into thick braids that continued to extend rapidly upwards, easily piercing through the water curtain maintained by Jubia and probing into the smoke-filled space outside.
These braids protruding from the water curtain did not stop growing; instead, under Sani's skillful manipulation, they began to develop and deform laterally.
They rapidly unfolded in the air, transforming into dozens of enormous, high-speed rotating propeller blades. All the hair-like propellers started simultaneously, spinning wildly in the same direction.
Huwuwuwu——! !
A powerful, man-made airflow of astonishing size instantly formed around the water curtain.
The intensity of this airflow is comparable to a Force 4 or 5 gale in nature, or even stronger.
A strong wind howled and blew violently in all directions, centered on the water curtain.
Under the relentless onslaught of this artificial gale, the thick, billowing smoke surrounding the water curtain began to dissipate rapidly, gradually clearing the field of vision.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the terrifying monster hidden within was gradually revealed to everyone!
"That is……"
Everyone, including the three enshrined figures inside the water curtain, the survivors, and the powerful figures observing everything from afar through various means.
The moment I saw the monster's true form, a profound sense of shock welled up inside me.
The first thing that catches the eye is a series of enormous ribs that stand like towering pillars reaching the sky!
What incredible ribs they were! Each one was terrifyingly thick, nearly a kilometer long, and had a ghastly white bone texture.
They stand side by side, forming the outline of an unimaginably huge thoracic skeleton. This skeleton alone stretches across the sky and earth, occupying most of the field of vision, with no visible hands or feet.
And among these horrifying white bones, what stands tall are heads.
A head of jet-black hair, so thick it seemed to absorb all light, cascaded down from the top of his head, with some ends already submerged in the distant seawater.
On either side of the head are a pair of long, slender ears, like those of an elf.
When your gaze falls on that face, a strong sense of absurdity and fear arises.
The outline and features of that face still vaguely resembled a human.
That was clearly Alan Yeager's face, only magnified countless times, with every line perfectly replicated.
Unlike his usual face, which always carried a deep melancholy and unwavering will, this magnified version of Allen's face now displayed a pure madness.
Where those enormous eyes should have been, now burned two balls of intense red light that sent shivers down one's spine. No longer could one see any reason or emotion, only the savage violence that could destroy everything.
This enormous, grotesque giant, supported primarily by bones and with a crazed expression, was not standing.
Instead, they lay prone between the earth and the coast in a posture as if about to rise or walk.
Its enormous size completely surpasses the conventional definition of the word "giant".
That incredibly imposing body, that terrifying image filled with primal savagery and an aura of the end, made everyone who saw this scene instantly understand one fact.
This is the legendary primordial giant.
