In one of the buildings in Bica, Carl is lying on an operating table, quietly waiting for an upcoming operation.

There were no doctors or nurses in the room, except for Cirno, who would be in charge of dealing with Carl's left arm, which had been burned by Anilu.

The surrounding walls are covered with shells, and the stored lights inside illuminate the room as if it were daytime.

Brooke and Xiong Da waited anxiously outside.

Although Brooke had just met Carl and his friendship was not too deep, the emotional old man kept walking around the door, as if he was more anxious than the depressed Xiong Da.

As for Urki and the others, they were just returning to the Sky Island with Karl by the way.

After the great monks prayed, they didn't pay any more attention to Karl's affairs.

Carl remembers the battle with Anilu in his mind, and his heart is filled with emotion.

He really didn't expect that the person who had caused him the most damage over the years was actually the second-most Anilu.

However, this also shows from the side that the Thunder Fruit is indeed a very powerful fruit, and Carl is bound to obtain it.

Karl ...... It will hurt a lot later, do you need to inject anesthetic? Already in a white lab coat, Kiruno, with a scalpel in his hand, walked up to Carl and whispered.

"No need, let's just come on." Carl exhaled deeply, and made mental preparations first.

As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous.

Anesthetics are such things as using too much will reduce people's nervous reflexes.

If you're on Earth, there's nothing wrong with using an occasional anesthetic once or twice.

But this is a world where force is supreme, and even the slightest reaction speed affected by anesthesia will expand into an extremely serious shortcoming in the battle against the strong.

If it affects the perception of seeing and hearing domineering, it will be even more than worth the loss.

Although Carl has the protection of the Plague Rakshasa and does not need to sterilize scalpels and other tools during surgery, to be on the safe side, Kirunor still does his best in advance to use the magical shells on the Sky Island and the medicines they bring to do the most of it.

"I'm going to start...... You put up with it......"

Qi Luno also exhaled a long breath, because she knew that the pain of being cut off by a knife little by little was far more than being cut by the enemy in battle, and ordinary people couldn't bear it at all.

She tightened her grip on the sharp scalpel and slowly sliced through the good flesh near the rotten flesh on Carl's arm, and with a little force, the knife sliced through Karl's arm as easily as if it were slicing tofu in water.

"Hmmm......"

Carl snorted, his forehead instantly covered with dense beads of sweat, and even the protruding green tendons could be clearly seen.

His teeth rattled as he gritted them, and Carl endured the pain and grabbed the wooden operating table with both hands, and the huge force in his hands even crushed the wooden board!

Pain is a self-protection signal for living beings.

Whether it's physical damage from the outside world or fever and diarrhea caused by bacteria, the human body reminds the brain through pain that a certain part of your body is suffering damage and should be treated in time.

However, when the pain exceeds the limit of the brain, the brain will refuse to accept the pain signal by "passing out".

Although the sharp pain in his left arm caused Karl's eyebrows to tighten together, his consciousness was clear, and there was no sign of imminent coma.

In fact, this is also very easy to explain, with Carl's current strength, how could he be easily knocked out by others.

If it was Carl as before, he would not be able to endure the pain of "scraping bones to cure poison" like today.

But after so many years, Carl has experienced countless life-and-death struggles, large and small, and his will has already been trained to be very tenacious.

After a few minutes, under the careful manipulation of Cirno, all the necrotic parts of Carl's left arm were removed.

But she didn't feel at ease, because Carl's left arm was already unrecognizable at this time, and in some places she could even see the white bones of Nasensen, which didn't look like it could still grow.

"Brother Carl......" Kiruno, who had bandaged Carl's wounds, choked up.

The moment she completed her task, the little girl's ruby eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she raised her head, her eyes were red and wet, and she choked up: "...... Your hand...... I can't help anything else......"

(Isn't it just a hand?) I'm stuck in the new era! ）

Carl suddenly rang out with Shanks' words.

What kind of mind is it to give up the most important arm of a swordsman without hesitation for a silly-looking imp?

Carl didn't think he could make such a bold statement.

But he wasn't a compassionate coward either.

He stretched out his right hand and touched Qi Luno's little head, comforting, "It's okay, isn't it not abolished yet?" Don't rush to sentence me to death. There's really no way, it's a big deal to find Luo for another arm in the future. ”

Qiluno burst into tears.

From the West Sea to the present, no matter what happened, Kiruno never cried.

And today, the emotions that have been suppressed in my heart for so many years seem to burst out at this moment.

……

The morning sun shines through the open window, on the clean wooden floor of the room, countless tiny points of light flutter in the air, and a colorful butterfly flutters its wings and rests on the hilt of a knife wrapped in black cloth, its tentacles trembling slightly.

The room is not big, very clean and tidy, and there is no excessive decoration, only a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and that's it.

In the shadow below the window, a young man was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes were closed, his breath was long, and several black mist clouds in front of him were slowly flowing, dragging a black short knife out of thin air, and it was rising and sinking with the rhythm of the young man's breathing, the young man was Carl, who had been on the sky island for more than four months.

His left arm had completely regrown flesh and blood, and not only was it intact, but it also looked as if it was stronger than before.

At first glance, Carl's left arm is barely much different from before, but as Carl's mind surges, he will see that there are five strange symbols on it that are emitting a faint fluorescent color: red, cyan, green, blue, and pink.

They represent the five powers of the gods that Karl now possesses: Kazan of Destruction, Kaija of Remnant, Psychic Purmon, Saya of Frost, and Rakshasa of Plague!
