BOOOM!
The loud explosion of a surging corrupted tsunami hit the sea around Loguetown. The armored giant roared toward Huo Yuhao and others, causing a ripple in the space-time fabrics.
Toki paled because this ripple was such a strong disturbance toward her domain ability. If it comes close enough to her, the Worldfall Frozen Moment might get canceled.
If that happened, the Loguetown and this timeline would get ruined forever.
"Man, this is bad..." Tian Meng couldn't help but say. She sighed while rubbing her chin, thinking deeply about something.
"Hey, how long can you maintain your domain if you get hit by the space-time ripple?"
Toki unsurely answered, "I'm afraid my Worldfall Frozen Moment could only last five seconds. After that, this frozen time will dissolve."
"Yuhao, you hear her!" Tian Meng shouted.
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Five seconds... So, as long as we don't let them get close to Toki, everything will be fine."
"We can also kill the Phantom Lords and end this farce simultaneously."
"Helena, give that older sister a little help."
Helana glanced at Toki and nodded, "Okay, Papa~!"
She appeared before Toki and stared at her green eyes in amusement before giggling. "Big sister, you're interesting."
"Hmm, maybe you have a chance to become Papa's girl too."
"Anyway, here is your little boost. Haiyah!" A rosy light pillar exploded from Helena's palm and hit Toki's body, submerging her completely.
Toki instinctively crossed her arms, thinking she would get injured, but felt her strength grow with a leap instead. Her cultivation soared like a rocket and broke through to Level 70 despite not absorbing any spirit rings.
Her spirit energy, physique, and mental power also surged in her meridian, increasing over 1000% of what she should have initially.
"This is..." Toki was speechless.
Isn't this too heaven-defying?
Helena noticed Toki's bewildered look and smirked like a fox, "Hehe, what do you think? This princess's ability is amazing, right?"
"Papa said I'd be one of the strongest in the future."
"However, you shouldn't get too complacent with my boosting. After all, it's temporary and illusory in the greater picture. All I did was divide the world's energy and increase your base's strength to the limit."
"Understood." Toki nodded, calming herself. With this much boost, she could resist Phantom's disturbance better.
Helena moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao and mumbled, "Sister Meng, do you think Papa will personally fight this time?"
Tian Meng gazed at the incoming black tsunami and storm and replied mildly, "It's Yuhao. He's going to fight one way or another."
"The question is, what power would he use? Necromancy is too strong for this world's law. His classes' power isn't bad, but most offensive skills are too destructive."
"Don't you forget he almost destroyed the Stasis Timeline once with a casual slash from a random divine sword he made?"
Helena's expression turned into a funny one because she was the one who asked Huo Yuhao to do a casual swing. Well, it was a disastrous casual swing.
"So, necromancy and classes are out of the question. Then, Papa might use that aspect." Helana mumbled humorously.
"Are you talking about that unstable aspect?" Tian Meng raised her eyebrow slightly.
"Hehe, exactly. Isn't it funny that Papa is the leader of Dragon Nest, but he rarely uses his draconic powers."
Tian Meng put on a bitter expression because she has evolved into a dragon and has been doing her best to master her newfound power.
Unlike Huang Qiu'er, who only has blood and consumes Devil Fruit, Tian Meng inherently evolved from a worm to a True Dragon. So, she spends most of her time cultivating her mental power and dragon origin.
Even then, Tian Meng couldn't compare herself to Huo Yuhao.
That monster is an anomaly.
Although Huo Yuhao didn't focus on experimenting with draconic powers much, his improvement is akin to the jet compared to Tian Meng's snail-like speed.
It was annoying to see him mastering Dragon God's power like it was nothing.
Of course, this is just Tian Meng's complaining about Huo Yuhao's daily weirdness. Still, deep inside, Tian Meng knew just how much blood, sweat, and tears Huo Yuhao put into his training.
Seeing how calm Huo Yuhao was, Tian Meng knew all that hard work built his current confidence.
"They are coming," Oceana said solemnly. "Yuhao-sama, why do I feel these phantoms are more dangerous than Saint Juke's people, excluding the Great Fang Matter Beast?"
Huo Yuhao stared at the dark tsunami and answered, "Because they are ready."
"Saint Juke is coming here not fully prepared. He's like a man who wears thin clothes, not knowing he'd venture into an icy storm."
"An idiot, I'd say."
"However, the phantoms are cunning. They would do anything to twist timelines in their images."
"They know how to be patient and strike when the iron is hot." He closed his eyes. "In fact, there must be a Phantom Lord who can read the future far enough to escape Saint Juke's divine might."
"That's a terrifying ability to have." Oceana paled slightly.
Huo Yuhao chuckled lightheartedly, "But it's not the best method or nowhere near omniscient."
"Future is unknown."
"A small action could cause a butterfly to flap its wing, changing the course of the event."
"If you only see one future, you only see one ending. And it might not be a good ending, too."
"Well, aren't you something of an oracle also?" He teased Oceana.
Oceana sighed helplessly, "Yuhao-sama, I'm just the spirit of Tiny World."
"My job has always been watching Tiny World grow and protect it from danger despite possessing no real power..."
"Is that so? Well, here they are coming." Huo Yuhao responded casually.
The armored giant appeared before them and stirred the surrounding space. A giant war axe appeared in his hand, falling with unstoppable momentum.
"Clear Sky!" Kuina slashed her finger like a sword, slicing the armored giant into tiny droplets.
BOOM!
The giant's remains fell to the ocean, becoming one with the corrupted sea.
"Not bad." Huo Yuhao could tell Kuina's divine power control has become much better than before. If Kuina had more than one day, she could have finished the armored giant for good.
Why for good?
The armored giant is just a 'small' portion of the 'real' body.
SWOOSH!
One kilometer giant rose from the sea and looked down on Kuina, trying to stomp her.
Kuina's eyes widened slightly before a scoff came from her, "Hmph!"
"Law of Thousand Swords, Die."
With a wave of her hand, Kuina burst with sharp divine might and formed a thousand invisible swords in the air. Then, she impaled the giant with those swords and ended its life with soul-destroying divine power.
BOOOOOOOOM!!
The giant turned into light particles.
"Well, that works too." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. Since Kuina couldn't control a small, fine detail, she only needed to destroy everything.
Meanwhile, the other goddesses faced the phantom bats that swarmed toward Loguetown. Seeing the dark storm from countless bats made them squint their eyes in disgust.
"Ara, what a mess. I will clean it." Raikou chuckled as she walked forward.
Huang Qiu'er, Robin, and Rossweisse glanced at each other and nodded before disappearing into nothingness. Soon, they appeared on the south, west, and east sides of Loguetown.
BOOM! ROAR!
Three phenomena appear in those areas.
Huang Qiu'er faced several crimson blood tornados, unhurriedly brandishing her Golden Dragon Spear.
Robin calmly looked down on the sea, seeing several ice-armored soldiers walking with an ice giant on the lead.
Finally, Rossweisse faced countless, floating evil eyes in the sky. Those eyeballs rotating and jerking in the air, giving off ominous feelings.
"Three Phantom Lords, as expected, this is the worst phantom group we ever faced." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes slightly. "Their strength is also quite similar to Huang Qiu'er and others."
"This, you're not going to help them?" Oceana was confused by Huo Yuhao's calmness.
Huo Yuhao smirked, "There is no need to do so."
"Because those Phantom Lords couldn't beat my goddesses."
"Not even close."
