Devil May Cry Demon, which started from pirates

Chapter 164 A New Journey (Happy New Year)

Regarding the new power he had acquired, Shaner did not show excessive arrogance, which made Valona somewhat relieved.

(Scattered.)
As Shana meditated in his heart, his body also began to change. Some kind of scales that originally covered his body instantly turned into blue particles and dissipated into the air.

"Finally awakened to "Devil Transformation". Back then, I couldn't awaken it with all my efforts. I didn't expect..."

Looking at the blue particles dissipating in the air, Shana couldn't help complaining.

"By the way, why do you need the help of "World Will" to advance to "Shentian"?"

After complaining, Xia Na retracted his thoughts again, and looked at Valona with a slightly suspicious gaze.

"Well, it's not that complicated.

It is not difficult to advance to the "Shentian" stage. You have reached the standard of the "Shentian" stage in terms of body and strength, but you have not really stepped into this stage because you have not 'Divine power'.

The so-called 'divine power' refers to a cultivator's ability to activate the inner potential hidden in his body through innate or acquired reasons, and then turn it into his own combat power.

This kind of power will focus on raising the upper limit of certain aspects of the practitioner, such as attack power, movement speed, brute force, etc.; of course, there are also some all-round increases, and you are a typical example. "

Hearing this, Valona explained the incident to Shaner.

"Generally speaking, things like 'divine power' can only be awakened through acquired methods, and the conditions for awakening are very harsh.

Although there are also examples of innate awakening, but such things are too rare, so I won't go into details.

As for the content of awakening 'divine power', I can't tell you in detail, because everyone's awakening method is different.

But there is a method that allows practitioners to awaken 100% of their 'divine power', and this method, you have experienced it yourself just now. "

As soon as the words fell, Valona pointed with his right hand to the place where the "World Will" just disappeared.

"Could it be help from the 'world'?"

Shana thought for a moment, then replied.

"That's right, but if you want to get help from the 'world', unless you are a 'child of the world' or have made some significant contribution to the 'world', don't even think about it.

This time, I have reached a transaction relationship with the world, so you just need to go through a process. "

"Follow the process? You mean the 'Salvation Operation'?"

"Well, otherwise, do you think that by doing this, the "world" can help you in person? Just to clean up a few zombies and resolve the internal conflicts of human beings?"

Valona replied in a rhetorical tone.

"Emmm... okay."

Seeing Valona's eyes, Shana didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood, so he simply left it alone.

"Then let's stop talking about the past, and it's time for you to go to the next trial site."

Ignoring Xia Na's facial expression, the magic power in Valona's hand fluctuated, and a blue magic circle with complex lines gradually became clear as the magic power was built.

The next moment, a spatial crack with some kind of dark purple substance distorted inside appeared ten centimeters to Shana's left.

"Since we haven't met for a long time this time, I'll help you open the "Space Portal" again, and I won't care about it next time."

"..."

However, Xia Na just stood still, and his face was slightly heavy.

Although it is good that Valona can help him open the "space portal", but after the previous two experiences, Shana was a little afraid to step in.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xana standing still and not moving, Valona looked a little puzzled.

"No, nothing..."

After careful deliberation, Shaner decided to keep this idea in his heart and not explain it to Valona.

According to Rector's statement and Valona's original temper, Shana had a hunch that as long as he dared to speak out, he would definitely be greeted by a fist covered in magic power.

"Oh—then, see you next time."

After taking a deep breath, Shana "plucked up his courage" and walked in front of the "Space Portal", and walked in.

"Well, see you next time."

Looking at the gradually healing space in front of him, Valona whispered.

----------------

Night, heavy snow, Empire.

"Empire" is an ancient country with thousands of years of civilization, the most powerful country in the world, the only one that can rival it is the western kingdom, while the southern islands and northern permafrost are relatively backward, and the eastern island country is an uncivilized land.The supreme ruler of the country is the emperor, and the authority is divided into civil officials who manage politics and generals who manage the military. The head of the civil officials is the minister, and the head of the military generals is the general.

And "Emperor Capital" is the capital of it.

It is the capital of an empire with a thousand-year-old civilization, where the emperor and ministers are located.Although it is the center of the empire, it is decayed and the people's life is very difficult.

…………

On the streets at night, pedestrians come and go.

At this time, it was 7:[-] p.m., and it was the start of the noisy nightlife in the "Emperor Capital", and many people had smiles called "happiness" on their faces.

Most of these people's clothes are bright and beautiful, and the price of the clothes is very expensive. Obviously, these people should be nobles.

Of course, not all of them are nobles. There are also people from other classes living here. Although they are inferior to the nobles in terms of assets, they are not so bad that they cannot survive.

However, in stark contrast to this scene are those pairs of eyes that reveal envy, jealousy and hatred hidden in the alleys.

They are the lowest class people living in the "Imperial Capital". If one word describes their life, it would be that they are impoverished, and their lives are cheaper than dogs.

Don't be surprised, because this is the "Imperial Capital".

Behind the glamor and brilliance, what is hidden is the darkest part of the heart.

Every night, a lot of people in the "Emperor Capital" will disappear. When they disappear, there will be no traces, and no one will notice.

Logically speaking, people in the "Emperor Capital" should always be in a state of panic when such a major event happened, but the reality is that they are not.

The reason is very simple, because they all know well, or more than [-]% of them know well, where the disappearing population has gone.

…………

At this time, above the "Emperor Capital", a crack quietly opened from mid-air, and some kind of dark purple substance was distorted inside, which looked extremely ominous.

And in the "space crack", a black shadow appeared, and as the black shadow enlarged, the black shadow gradually turned into a human figure.

"What the hell--!"

The next moment, a blue figure flew out from the "space crack", and an ugly look appeared on his handsome face.

This blue figure was naturally Xia Na.

Shana's face at this moment could be said to have eaten a devil fruit - as gloomy as it could be.

Feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, Xia Na felt helpless and angry in his heart.

"Oh—forget it, I'll bear it!"

But the next moment, after taking a deep breath, Shana was relieved, because this was not the first time this had happened.

Spatial fluctuations emerged in Shana's hand, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand.

Then, as Shana slashed forward, a dark blue "space crack" appeared in front of him, and he himself plunged into it.

……

At the same time, a tall building on the ground.

A dark blue "space rift" appeared out of thin air, and then a white-haired man with a long knife walked out of it, and after he walked out of this "space rift", the "space rift" also closed again and disappeared.

"Oh, forget it, let's see where this place is first, and hope that the last time will not happen again."

Putting Yan Modao back into the scabbard, Xia Na pressed his hands on his aching head while walking towards the edge of the floor.

"Hmm—a town? Or..."

Looking at the scene in front of him and the huge building in the center, Shana felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"However, this scene is really rotten."

He couldn't think of it for a while, and Xia Na didn't pay much attention to it. Because he had the experience of the previous world, he was considered experienced in this environment. At worst, he would just take a step at the end.

But the scene in front of him made Shana frowned slightly.

It's not that he has never seen a rotten country. He didn't know how many times he had seen it in "One Piece World", but it was the first time he saw a rotten country like this one.

Although this place looks peaceful on the surface and everyone has a smile on their faces, Shana will not be deceived by this scene. He can clearly feel that most of these guys have a A faint smell of blood.

Not to mention the distance, let's just talk about the aristocratic people who are enjoying the food under Shana's feet. Although they look very amiable, they seem to be close to other people.

But if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of these guys are full of disdain and disgust for other people. In their eyes, it seems that other people are just bugs on the side of the road, and there is no other emotion to speak of except disgust.

They might be hiding well from others, but in Xia Na's eyes, their malice couldn't be more obvious.

"Hmph, the residents of a country can be in such a state. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the country is destroyed."

Seeing the ugly faces of these guys, Xia Na on the roof sneered, looking at them with murderous intent.

Because of the looks of these guys, Xia Na recalled some very bad memories, very bad.

……

At this time, a certain nobleman who was sitting below eating suddenly shivered. He felt a deep malice just now.

Then he turned his head abruptly to where Shana was, but there were no other creatures there except for a few birds flying by.

"Could it be my illusion?"

After seeing that the place was empty, the nobleman tilted his head suspiciously.
