At the top of the [Pangu City], which represents the pinnacle of power in the holy land of Mary Joyana, there is such a huge hall.

It's gorgeous, yet it's ancient for hundreds of years.

The red carpet is spread out in the huge hall, and at the end of the red carpet is thirty-three steps. Climbing up the stairs, one hundred and seventy weapons of various kinds are inserted upside down on the platform, and this layer is the [Seat of Oath].

After passing through the Seat of Oath, there is a towering platform, and above the high platform is a sacred place that no one can touch, the [World Center]. Thirty-three steps at the top, the top of which is a huge and magnificent throne. The armrests at both ends are lion heads, symbolizing royal power, the back of the chair is engraved with the symbol of the world government and extends into the sky, forming a sword-shaped, and twenty ancient swords are inserted upside down in front of the throne in an arched posture.

Void Throne.

The World Government is the most powerful organization in the world consisting of more than half of the world's 170 kingdoms. There are 50 representative kingdoms in the member states, and every four years the kings of these 50 kingdoms gather in the Holy Land of Mary Joy to participate in the [World Conference].

Every new king must swear allegiance to the world government against the 'weapon' that symbolizes his kingdom.

And the [Void Throne] that stands high in the sky, on which no one can sit upright, is the 'Empty Throne', and it is an oath ceremony that promises the kings of all countries to remain equal and have no dictatorial thoughts. The twenty weapons that protect the throne are the oath of the first twenty men who created this world government 800 years ago.

The position of the Void Throne is the center of the world, and the absence of people is a symbol of peace. Just as the highest power in the world is the [Five Old Stars] with the highest status among the Celestial Dragons, no one can be called the king of this world!

That's how it should be.

The sound of scattered footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the five old stars dressed in white daze walked through the unguarded hall, and finally stopped at the bottom of the steps and waited patiently.

Da, da, da......

A figure slowly ascended the steps on the side of the Void Throne, and finally sat down on the [Void Throne], which should have been unoccupied, staring indifferently at the five old stars below.

The Five Elder Stars, the five mysterious old men who symbolize the highest power in the world, knelt down on one knee towards the man on the throne.

"[Five Old Stars], see Lord Imu!"

The old man at the head of the map lowered his head: "Everything is ready. ”

The long-haired, long-bearded old man narrowed his eyes: "The balance of the world is once again facing collapse. ”

The blonde-haired and short-bearded old man said in a deep voice: "Have you already decided?" ”

The bald old man with a knife had a solemn face: "The next era is up to you to decide." ”

The old man in the black hat and dreadlocks clenched his cane: "Please let the world be calm again." ”

After the five old stars finished speaking, they remained on their knees, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Suddenly, an ethereal female voice echoed in the hall, as if a transcendent who had transcended time—

"Put out the lights outside the omen, and activate the Heavenly King Ouranos."

…………

Victor opened his eyes, his azure eyes slightly distracted for a moment before focusing on them.

He rested his right hand on his chin and sat casually on the empty throne. The huge hall was empty, except for the chained fingers. This is the 'Firmament Palace' of the [Golden Palace] on the Ark of Passion, and it is also the place where Victor meditates and retreats on weekdays.

In recent years, the number of times the 'Omen Painting' of the Special Insight [Apocalypse] has been activated has become less and less, but the useful information in it is always very important. Victor's half-lowered eyelids were silent, pondering what kind of important information was contained in the image he had just seen.

It was a still picture, and unlike the previous pictures, which were clearly visible and photographic, it was an abstract oil painting. The painter seems to be very nervous, and the oil paint impatiently creates a thrilling swirl in the center of the paper. Black and blue are mixed with dark green, and the whole picture is full of restlessness and impatience, which makes people feel uneasy.

What does that mean exactly?

Victor rested his right hand on his cheek, and his left index finger swiped unconsciously on the golden armrest of the throne, frowning slightly. [Apocalypse] is foreshadowing that he is about to encounter a great danger from which he cannot escape?

But I can't think of anything that can threaten me now. In terms of personal strength, Victor thinks that he can already compete with Whitebeard for the title of "the strongest in the world", the air zipper and the sky cable car also make him naturally invincible, and there are countless fierce people gathered under the coral flag, no organization in the world will have such a powerful combat power.

Wait a minute...... Unless it's an ancient weapon.

Victor sat up slightly straight, crossed his legs, and folded his fingers on his knees in deep thought.

[Pluto] is still sleeping under the endless yellow sand of Alabastan, and [Poseidon, the king of the sea] will never hurt himself if he obeys his words...... In other words, [Heavenly King Ouranos]?

But what does the king have to do with this unsettling maelstrom? As an ancient weapon, Victor thought that [Sea King Poseidon] was conceptualized enough, but he didn't expect [Heavenly King Ouranos] to be even more excessive, is this trying to use abstract painting style to directly scare himself to death?

And the incomprehensible 'Imu', who can make those five stubborn old men willingly surrender and serve, that person must have the [power] strong enough to crush everything.

Hehe...... Victor's chuckle echoed through the empty hall.

Is it finally impossible to endure any longer? He used his righteous and bright conspiracy to force the world government to make a decision, otherwise the end that awaits them is to boil frogs in warm water until they are powerless to resist.

Did you choose a head-to-head showdown? Interesting, I took it.

The steel chain finger raised his right hand to point to the heavy gate facing the throne, and with the sound of turns, the heavy double-door carved with intricate patterns slowly opened on its own. Standing outside the door were the cadres of Coral, these strange warriors from all over the world staring at their king with fixed eyes, waiting for him to give orders.

"The World Government and Navy are ready to make a move, so we can't just wait, otherwise it would be too rude."

Victor stood up from his throne, his chain fingers draped over his shoulders in black, and the voice of the Black Swan King resounded through the hall: "Issue a non-mandatory [S-Rank Mission] to the official hunters, and inform our allies to get ready." ”

"What is the content of the [S-Class Mission]?" Robin, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and wearing a secretary's outfit, pushed the frame and asked out loud.

Victor smiled slightly:

"[Attack on the Holy Land of Mary Joa]!"
