Thinking of this, a fiery look appeared in Syura's eyes. He took a step forward, and his terrifying strength exploded. With killing intent, he rushed to Kaos in an instant, and punched. "I will blow your head off!"
However, he didn't realize that his movements, in the eyes of the three of them, were extremely slow, even childish.
Kaos watched with a calm expression.
There was no movement at all.
But the moment Syura approached, Stussy appeared in front of Kaos out of thin air, facing Syura, and easily caught Syura's punch.
In Stussy's view, the terrifying power that erupted without mercy was extremely weak.
"How can it be?"
Syura's expression was shocked, revealing an expression of disbelief.
"Weak and ignorant."
Stussy said in disgust. "I really don't know who gave you the courage."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of killing intent broke out.
Stussy unleashed her strength.
There was a tearing sound.
"Ah!!"
A shrill scream sounded.
Syura's right arm was forcibly torn off.
Blood splashed on the ground.
A look of pain appeared on Syura's face, and he backed away again and again. "My arm!!"
"Damn you!!"
Scarlet eyes stared at Stussy, and Syura was completely enraged.
"In the face of death, you dare to be so arrogant. You really don't know how to live or die."
Stussy sneered, stepped forward, and struck quickly.
Syura's face changed slightly, then he took something out of his chest with his left arm. "Do you think you're going to kill me? Wishful thinking. I remember you, damn woman. When we meet next time, I will catch you and play with you hard!!"
After speaking, he activated the object in his hand.
However, at this moment...
There was a sizzle.
Accompanied by a flash of blue thunder.
Syura's face went blank.
He watched as an arm flew past his eyes and fell to the ground.
That's... his own arm!
A long spear formed by thunder came from a distance and cut off his arm!!
Pain swept through his body.
Syura screamed again in pain.
Thunder flashed.
Kaos came to the side of the severed arm, picked up the object, and said calmly, "Dimensional Formation: Shambhala. Is this your confidence?"
"You, how do you know?"
Syura's complexion changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and roared.
Kaos shook his head, not thinking of answering, but just looked at the Dimensional Formation: Shambhala and waved his hand casually. "Kill him."
Hearing the words.
Stussy nodded.
A look of fear suddenly appeared on Syura's face.
"You can't kill me!"
"Minister Honest is my father!!"
Syura growled, terrified.
Because he truly felt the killing intent emanating from Stussy.
It's a pity that these words, which might have been a threat to others, couldn't even make Kaos raise an eyebrow.
Stussy walked forward indifferently, and her mental energy exploded. Syura's head was quickly crushed, and he died on the spot.
Meanwhile, Kaos continued to examine the Teigu in his hand, his eyes flickering.
As for Syura...
The moment Kaos saw him, he already recognized him.
Considering that he had been traveling and possessed a Teigu like Shambhala, his appearance in the Kingdom of Gudal wasn't too surprising.
But this Teigu had arrived at just the right time.
After all, Shambhala is a spatial Teigu.
It does not enhance combat power.
But it has the ability to mark locations and then send the user to the marked places.
It is a highly functional piece of equipment.
For Kaos, however, this Teigu was somewhat redundant.
After all, Kaos already had teleportation abilities, making Shambhala somewhat redundant.
But obtaining this Teigu confirmed one thing for Kaos:
The origin of this world could be obtained in two ways.
[You have obtained Teigu.]
[Due to the uniqueness of this world, you will unlock a new method to acquire the origin.]
[One: Teigu.]
[Two: Characters.]
[Please make a selection.]
[Once selected, it cannot be changed.]
This was the prompt Kaos heard after acquiring Shambhala.
It surprised him.
"Because this world contains many original characters and unique items, does it offer this alternative method for obtaining the origin?"
Kaos murmured.
Without hesitation, he chose the second option: Characters.
Why?
Because obtaining origin from characters was relatively straightforward.
Although Kaos knew the locations of many Teigu, there were still many unknown
The first emperor of the empire had ordered the creation of 48 Teigu, but Kaos only knew about half of them. Most of the rest were mysteries.
Relying on Teigu to obtain origin? Who knew how long that would take?
By contrast...
Obtaining origin from characters was simpler.
Defeating everyone in Night Raid.
The main characters.
Esdeath.
Minister Honest.
The young emperor.
Resolving these figures would essentially mean obtaining all the origin.
After making his choice, Kaos turned to Stussy and Imu, asking, "This is a Teigu. Its ability is excellent. Do either of you want it?"
"Teigu?"
Imu looked puzzled.
Kaos explained its function.
After learning its role, Imu asked, "If it's not combat-focused, do you think I need it?"
"Well, it's a spatial Teigu that can mark locations and teleport users to them."
Stussy's eyes lit up with excitement, but she remained silent, waiting for Imu's decision.
Imu pondered briefly before shaking her head. "Since it doesn't enhance combat strength, I don't need it."
Naturally.
After stepping down from the throne, Imu pursued strength above all else.
Besides, as the strongest individual in the world government, Kaos's hidden ace, if Imu wanted a Teigu, it would be something like Esdeath's, which directly enhanced combat power.
"Then I'll give it to you," Kaos said, handing Shambhala to Stussy.
Stussy immediately took it, her face filled with joy. "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Try it out first," Kaos instructed. "That person was the former owner of this Teigu and likely marked many places. Check if those marked locations still exist and if you can go there."
"Can it teleport others too?"
"Yes," Stussy nodded, quickly experimenting with the Teigu.
In just a short while, Stussy had figured out its functions. Her eyes lit up with joy as she exclaimed, "Your Highness, the places marked by the Teigu still exist. It can teleport others too, but doing so consumes a significant amount of energy. I doubt anyone in this world has the stamina for it."
That made sense.
After all, the physical capabilities of this world's inhabitants were decent but paled compared to those in the world of One Piece.
Kaos asked with interest, "Do you know where the marked locations are?"
Stussy felt it and pointed in a direction. "It should be that direction."
Kaos followed her gaze, his eyes glinting.
It was the direction of the imperial capital.
Suddenly, a smile crept onto Kaos's lips.
"Could it be in the imperial capital?"
"That makes things interesting."
Stussy noticed Kaos's expression and asked, "Your Highness, do you want me to teleport you there?"
"No rush," Kaos said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
Although this kingdom bordered the imperial capital, the distance between them was vast.
Thus, Kaos hadn't planned to visit the imperial capital anytime soon.
But now, with Shambhala, he could reconsider.
"If we go to the imperial capital, we'll need to rethink our plans for this world," Kaos mused.
"What do you think?" he asked Imu, sharing his thoughts.
Imu didn't respond immediately. Instead, she asked, "Do you plan to eliminate key figures in the imperial capital?"
"That's one option," Kaos nodded. If he went to the imperial capital, he could bring some of his strongest fighters and eliminate ministers, generals, and even the young emperor in one decisive move.
Imu, however, shook her head. "Didn't you mention that the empire is the strongest nation in this world?"
"Yes," Kaos replied.
"And the young emperor is controlled by Minister Honest, correct?"
"Right," Kaos confirmed, crossing his arms as he explained. "Minister Honest is average in strength but highly cunning. He helped the young emperor ascend the throne, but only to use him as a puppet."
"Then why kill them?" Imu asked calmly. "Why not use your abilities to make the young emperor your puppet instead?"
"Um?"
Kaos blinked in surprise.
Imu continued, "This world is vast, with many nations and territories. Even if we conquer it, we won't have enough manpower to govern everything. Instead of killing them, why not control key figures and let them govern for us?"
"After all, some of the people in the imperial capital seem quite capable, don't they?"
"As the ruler of the empire, the young emperor can command the ministers. Controlling him would make controlling the empire much easier."
