Chapter 542: Morgans Will Be Remembered in History
What happened?
Not only Kizaru, but Jinbei and Higuma beside him shared the same question.
Across the Competitive Canyon, everything stood still at that moment.
In the heart of the black tide, Hikari was the first to break free.
Her ability to achieve victory was governed by a profoundly unreasonable principle.
This principle of victory granted her an advantage in any situation.
The Void Dominance technique, which restrained others, was a negative abnormal state.
Such a state was seen as an obstacle to victory, allowing her to counteract and dispel it.
Of course, her abilities had limits.
They came with constraints, but when controlled well, they were immensely powerful.
This was especially true for Hikari, who also possessed the Radiance ability and wielded the Sword of Oath.
At that moment, after breaking free from the abnormal state, Hikari ignored the Void Dominator, controlled by the Domination Princess, which had unleashed the technique.
Instead, she looked toward the sky.
There, the eight gems shot upward like meteors at extraordinary speed.
Then, like scattered flowers, they dispersed across the world even faster.
Indeed, those were the black and white gems meant to surround the most powerful God Killer Equipment.
These gems, integral to the Mythical Demon's Return, had broken away from the God Killer Equipment and exploded into the sky amid the battle's aftermath.
At that critical moment, the Domination Princess, who had kept part of her focus on the Mythical Demon's Return, instantly commanded her companion beast to activate Void Dominance.
But it was too late.
Void Dominance, as an ultimate technique, required time to activate, and that brief window allowed the gems to escape her control.
Watching the gems vanish from sight, the Void Dominator, its body glowing faintly blue and piercing into the void, followed the Domination Princess's command and lifted the surrounding restrictions.
The Death Tide Princess, Saijō, looked at the gem-less God Killer Equipment, then at the sky.
She pinched the silky braids draped over her shoulders and signaled the Black Death Dragon King to dispel the wave of death.
Suddenly, the entire battlefield cleared.
The light of the setting sun bathed the earth, lending a touch of warmth to the ravaged land.
Many people exchanged glances.
Those unaware of the situation focused their attention on the center of the battlefield, where the treasure they coveted most, the ultimate God Killer Equipment, rested.
With the black tide receded, had the God Killer Equipment's owner been decided?
It didn't matter until they saw it, but when they did, they were shocked.
The God Killer Equipment was there, but something felt off.
The black and white jade orbs were gone! All eight of them!
Had some demigods negotiated and divided them?
Many contestants and even live broadcast viewers were thrilled.
What was happening?
They needed a commentator who knew the situation to explain!
Amid the strange silence, many felt an itch in their hearts.
"Kwahahaha! Dear spectators and contestants, a shocking emergency has occurred on the field!" a familiar voice called out.
He was here, he had arrived.
Morgans' sudden commentary felt oddly comforting.
At that moment, Morgans' appearance was unprecedentedly welcome, even pleasing to the eye.
"According to authoritative certification."
"The strongest God Killer Equipment is still in an unfinished state, so its stability is not very strong."
"So…" he paused for a few seconds, drawing glares from the audience eager to interrupt.
"So, the strongest God Killer Equipment exploded." Morgans declared.
The strongest God Killer Equipment exploded?
Where did it explode? Wasn't it right there?
Wait! Did Morgans mean the gems had been blown to pieces?
Many were baffled by this logic.
It was previously called brand-new, but now, after exploding, it was deemed unfinished.
Was this God Killer Equipment now useless?
Yamata God Orochimaru masterpiece, touted as the strongest, couldn't just vanish like that, could it?
"Everyone, this is very sad news for the contestants present."
"But you must accept this fact."
"The strongest God Killer Equipment, Mythical Demon's Return, lacks a spirit like other God Killer Equipments, so…"
"Those gems are the key, the key to activating the God Killer Equipment."
Hearing Morgans, many contestants who didn't know the truth grew frustrated with him.
So, the most powerful God Killer Equipment was truly gone?
"Each of the eight gems holds its own authority."
"Each gem can be contracted to a person, and the contractor gains the power to jointly control the most powerful God Killer Equipment."
"If the contractor is killed, the gem they hold will vanish, like a Devil Fruit's ability, and reappear randomly somewhere in the sea."
Morgans' sudden explanation of the gems' authority left many confused.
Why was he saying this now?
Though the mechanism was intriguing, the gems were gone!
"So!" Morgans said, his voice rising sharply.
In the center of the Competitive Canyon, the Mythical Demon's Return rapidly floated upward, enveloped in a massive golden beam of light.
It began to vanish within the light column.
"Go find it!"
"The eight keys to becoming a god have scattered across the world."
"Once you find them, everything will be within your grasp."
"The Mythical Demon's Return has been sealed in this area by the Yamata God Orochimaru."
"When the eight gems are reunited here, their bearer will ascend to godhood."
Taking a deep breath, Morgans roared with passion.
"Go find it!"
"O people of the sea!"
"Everything in the world awaits you!"
"Guhahahahaha!" Morgans laughed heartily.
The audience burst into laughter as well.
Because they understood, with just this speech, Morgans would be as legendary as the former Pirate King Roger.
He would become the iconic host Morgans.
The world would not forget him now.
Morgans had only one word for this experience: exhilarating!
