Chapter 62
The Five Elders in the Invisible Empire?
Having had all her memories erased, Litoto will be unable to be a teammate for the foreseeable future.
Seeing that the two were still unconscious, Beltz first sent Ginny back to the pirate world.
then……
That's the real test.
Because Litoto has lost her memories of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, and doesn't even know that she ate it, she can no longer use it to travel back in time.
Next, they have to walk back from here.
Litoto was still unconscious, so he took advantage of the night and left Pepe's tower with her.
Because Beltz used to patrol frequently, he was very familiar with the Empire's patrol routes.
Therefore, he knows exactly which road has people on it and when it has no one on it.
Under the cover of night, he carried Litoto and slowly walked back along the path of the Empire.
Fortunately, he was now quite strong and very familiar with the roads, so he avoided everyone and returned to Litoto's tower.
After putting Litoto back in her room, Beltz covered her with a blanket and then quietly retreated to her own room.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although what he did could not be perfect, he had done his best.
Since he transmigrated here, he has hardly had a moment to spare.
But every step is either forced or something that must be done.
He was discovered by Litoto, which was unavoidable due to his weak strength. He could only try to recruit Litoto into his group, which later became an advantage for him.
Bringing the Five Elders into the fray was a last resort.
It's mainly a matter of time; he can't develop normally!
His talent was only average in the world of Bleach, so he naturally wouldn't become a genius overnight in the world of One Piece.
He became much stronger thanks to the Azure Dragon Fruit, but if that's all there is to it, even if he trains continuously for the next thirty-eight years, he will never reach Kaido's level.
Therefore, he had no choice but to find ways to exploit the system.
And the earlier the better.
The sooner he starts, the longer he can develop.
Even if a slow bird flies first, it can't catch up, so it has to take a risk.
If you don't take the risk, then the only ending is game over.
He couldn't wait for Yhwach to be naturally killed by Ichigo Kurosaki.
Although I had thought about it before, there were greater risks involved.
That is, once Yhwach regains his power and regains his omniscience and omnipotence, he will be able to see the future!
Once he sees the future, everything about him could be exposed!
Yhwach was already invincible, but if he learned about what had happened to him, the pirate world might be invaded. With the resources of both worlds, Yhwach would become even more invincible.
After all, Yhwach can be considered a demonic cultivator in fantasy novels, constantly devouring souls. The more souls he devours, the stronger the power he absorbs.
The people of the Wandenreich are already his nourishment; if he were to launch a large-scale invasion of the One Piece world...
Yes, the pirate world is absolutely no match for Yhwach. In the end, everyone in the pirate world could become Yhwach's food!
The world of One Piece is enormous, with a huge population. While it may not be as powerful as the world of Bleach in terms of top-tier combat strength, the sheer size of its population, combined with Yhwach's abilities...
That's something I never even dared to imagine.
Therefore, it's best to have the ability to protect yourself by the time Yhwach awakens his eye.
After escorting Litoto back to her room, Beltz quietly withdrew, glancing at his still-sleeping superior.
call……
We'll see if we can fool them.
Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Beltz returned to his room.
The next day, Beltz resumed his life as an adjutant.
Because Litoto has no memory of working with him, he still needs to maintain his persona as her adjutant.
After breakfast was prepared, Beltz saw Litoto come out in her pajamas.
"Weren't you going to conduct the Star Cross selection?"
Litoto looked at Beltz, who was carrying breakfast, and said, "Just focus your energy on that for now."
"!" Beltz exclaimed with delight, "Lady Naritoto, your..."
It seems that Litoto is unaware that there is something wrong with her memory. Well, she took the initiative to cooperate with Ginny in using the Memory Fruit, which allowed Ginny's ability to be used quite well.
"Of course I'll continue to cook for you," Litoto said directly. "And even if you become a Sternritter, I'll still be able to eat at your place anytime."
"Of course," Beltz said with a smile. "Lady Litoto is always welcome."
"Alright, go train."
This time, Litoto activated her ability directly and ate everything in one bite.
"Lady Litoto...is there something you need?"
Seeing that Litoto ate so quickly this time, Beltz couldn't help but ask...
Litoto chewed her food and said somewhat indistinctly, "I'm going to find Jadis. If I don't come back for lunch, you don't need to cook."
"Oh, okay." Beltz stepped back first.
With less than a month until the Star Cross selection, he really needs to seize the time to train.
In addition to training, he also needs to take a look at his future opponents.
After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Although the Quincy all had similar fighting styles before obtaining the Holy Script, using spirit particles to create weapons to fight, they each had their own unique fighting style.
There are a total of six Star Crosses available this time, so there are still plenty of spots.
Does this mean that six entirely new people will become the Astronomical Cross?
This may become a new hidden danger.
Beltz also had some concerns.
How should I put it? The Sternritter's abilities are all very important. He is familiar with all the Sternritter's abilities in the original work, but the new Sternritter's abilities may not be revealed, which could become a potential problem in the future.
However, he was stunned when he arrived at the selection venue.
Because he saw that the person fighting in the arena looked exactly like Izambaron V. Nassjuro, one of the Five Elders!
What is that?
Beltz instantly became alert.
He'd already sent the Five Elders back, so why are they here?!
He tugged at the Quincy in front of him and whispered, "Who's that on the stage? I've never seen him before."
The Five Elders first appeared in the Gothic Empire in their ferocious beast forms, so basically no one knows what they look like in their human forms.
Moreover, the Five Elders' battlefield was filled with Sternritter-level figures, so the Quincy really didn't know what he looked like.
