After a short pause, he continued: "But you are different, Ben Altolen. What do you think is the only thing that can measure value in this world?"
"Strength." Ortorun gave the answer without any hesitation.
In this world, everything such as money, wealth, status, reputation, etc. are castles in the air. Only strength is the eternal truth. The strong own everything, and the weak are allowed to be exploited.
"Yes, it's strength." Im nodded in agreement, and then said: "In this world, strength is the only criterion for measuring everything. Although you are young, you already have the same qualifications and strength as me. , you can naturally get my kindness.”
In other words, for Yi Mu, neither the Five Old Stars nor the others are strong enough to be in the same position as Yi Mu.
Because of this, Im never puts these people in his eyes, let alone gives them any respect or kindness.
"Last year, on a whim, I watched your duel with the so-called strongest man in the world, Whitebeard Edward Newgate. When you showed all your strength and overwhelmingly defeated the so-called 'most powerful man'. When Qiang was defeated, I knew that we would meet here one day," Im said with emotion.
"Why?" Ortorun asked slightly curiously.
"Because I saw my former self in you..." Im smiled, and the originally sharp eyes became a little ethereal, as if he was reminiscing about something.
After a moment, he said: "The strong are always lonely, and the lion never wants to be with the hyena. The empty throne is right there. As the strongest, how can he restrain his further ambitions? How can you convince yourself to be ranked with the weak? "
After hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Oltorun's eyes. After a moment, he suddenly said: "So that's it. Is this the reason why you betrayed the covenant of twenty kings and sat on that throne? "
"Betrayal? Ha..." Im sneered and said: "It was they who betrayed me, not me who betrayed them... You know, why did we and the twenty so-called kings make this decision? Covenant, set up this empty throne?"
Then, before Altorun could speak, Im waved and said, "If you don't mind, just come forward and talk closer."
Upon seeing this, Altoron had no scruples, nodded, and then stepped up the stairs, passed the twenty sharp blades, passed the flag of the World Palace, and finally arrived in front of the throne.
And Im, no longer sitting there, also stood up and stood beside the throne.
There was absolutely no hostility between the two of them at this moment. They were just like friends, standing together, admiring and giving advice to the throne.
"Why did you make this covenant and set up this throne of the void back then?" Altoron asked.
"Because they are afraid, afraid of my power, afraid of my power, even though twenty kings like me were all outstanding talents on this sea, each of them was extraordinary in martial arts, possessed of great wisdom, and great Perseverance is a rare king, but...that is compared to all living beings, and among the twenty kings, except for me, the other nineteen are all mortals in my opinion... And they seem to be able to feel this insurmountable gap and gap, and because of this, they have become one, hugging each other for warmth, and want to stop me from going further..." Im said with a smile.
Ortoron did not answer, but Im continued: "Do you really think they are such selfless and great people? Using this throne and blade to limit their own power and status? What a big mistake. Wrong, the truth is... They know very well that after defeating our common enemy, all conflicts will be transferred to the twenty of us. The empty throne is too small, and only one person can sit on it. , become the true king of this world... And they, they know my power, so they understand that I am the only one qualified to sit on that throne, but they don’t want anyone to override them. Instead of doing this, it’s better for everyone to Don't sit down. Because of this, they raised the throne that they couldn't get in the sky, established a covenant, and showed their greatness and selflessness... and all of this was at the expense of my interests."
After hearing these reasons, Altorun seemed to understand something in his heart.
Im continued to tell his story, looking at the throne, as if he had gone back hundreds of years ago, with some regrets, some memories, and some relief.
"I was as young as you at that time. Although I knew that what they did was to check and restrict me, the friendship we had formed over the years still made me remain silent about this covenant and did not oppose it. ..I didn’t even try to stop anything. One of the twenty sharp knives downstairs belongs to me," Im said with emotion.
"Later, they all died, and the friendship in the past was gradually diluted in the following time. It was also after that that my interest in the throne resurfaced. In the end, I chose to sit on it. "Exit." After Im said this, he looked at Altorun and asked with a smile: "You said, is it wrong for me to choose to sit on this throne?"
Ortorun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong. If it were me, I would do the same."
As Im said, the throne is right in front of you. As the strongest, how can you restrain your ambition?
Chapter 446: Unexpected Im, and some secrets of history.
After finishing the story about the twenty kings, Altoron reached out and touched the throne.
Im seeing this smiled and said, "If you like it, can you sit on it and give it a try?"
"Then I'm not welcome." Ortorun laughed, and sat down on the throne in front of Im, then moved around and felt it for a moment.
Im didn't resist at all and stood aside with a smile, watching Altorun's activities.
After a while, Im finally asked: "How do you feel?"
"The material is not good. It feels too hard under my butt when I sit on it, which makes me feel uncomfortable." Ortorun stood up and said with a look of disgust.
As soon as he said this, Im laughed out loud, patted Oltorun on the shoulder and said: "Hahahahaha, yes, you are right, the material is so poor, every time I sit on it While I was waiting here for the Five Old Stars to come and report something to me, I had to endure this damn throne while maintaining my dignity and listening to their nonsense. Then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked them to kneel down first. Wait, then I will come out and sit down..."
For hundreds of years, Im couldn't find anyone with whom he could share the comfort of this throne. Today, Altorun sat here, and they talked about this weird topic, but it brought Im An unprecedented sense of freshness.
Then, the two of them had a discussion about the throne's various details, structure, materials, design, beauty, etc., and criticized this so-called supreme throne as worthless, just like a broken bench. .
After the two of them finished criticizing the throne, Ortorun said with emotion: "But even so, this is the throne that symbolizes the king of the world. How many people ask for it but can't get it..."
"King of the world..." Im also sighed with emotion, shook his head and said: "It's not interesting... Two hundred years ago, I was often addicted to this power, claiming to be the king behind the scenes of the world, remotely controlling I enjoy playing with the whole sea, but everything will become boring after a long time. About five hundred years ago, I basically stopped caring about the affairs of the world government and left it to the five old stars of the past. I do it, but occasionally when I get interested, I will listen to their reports and see if there are any interesting people or interesting things in this sea... But after more than two hundred years ago, I basically They have completely let go of their control over this power. From then on, the Five Old Stars all have the power to decide all important affairs of the world government. Therefore, to a certain extent, the Five Old Stars after that From a practical point of view, it deserves the title of 'supreme power'..."
"If you let go of all these powers, won't you be afraid that the Five Old Stars will backfire on you? And in the past few hundred years, the situation of the world's government has been getting worse and worse, so you don't have any ideas? Also, I heard that you Will extinguish some so-called 'lights of history' to maintain his rule..." Altorun asked strangely after listening to Im's free and easy words.
"As I said just now, strength is the criterion for measuring everything. No matter how the five old stars are changed, the strength will be the same. I only need to maintain my absolute strength and master the ancient weapon that can pose a threat to me, King Ula. North, this is enough, for the rest, even if I let go of the reins, no one can bite me back..." Im said nonchalantly.
And his indifference is naturally also a kind of absolute confidence.
After a pause, he continued: "As for the situation of the World Government getting worse and worse... How to put it, since I let go of this power, I don't care what the World Government will be like. , and extinguishing the so-called lights is just an interesting observation, just like you built a gorgeous castle on the beach. In the process, you felt happy, but in the end, after you lost interest, you just... Push it down...that's pretty much what it means..."
After a while, Im continued: "There are also some guys, although they are indeed interesting, I hate them, so I will extinguish them... This has nothing to do with maintaining rule. It is more accurate. In other words, it is a kind of wanton behavior...self-indulgence...self-arrogance."
"For example?" Ortorun raised his eyebrows.
"For example, pirates!" Im gave the answer without hesitation, and then said: "The thing I hate the most is pirates... Dorag of the Revolutionary Army, you know, right? Don't you have a good relationship? Okay? But you must not know that I secretly joined the revolutionary army and participated in the revolutions of the two kingdoms in the South China Sea... It's quite interesting. I usually don't choose to extinguish a light like this. Maybe I will wait. I'm tired of playing, it's boring, let's think about this again... But back then, the Rocks Pirates were a group that I hated, so I chose to destroy the Rocks Pirates..."
"Why do you hate pirates?" Altoron asked again.
After raising this issue, Im's eyes flashed with disgust and he said: "Because the guy I hated the most was a pirate, and he could even be said to be... the first pirate in the world! "
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t communicated with anyone for a long time. When we first met, Im was still a bit ‘rotten’. After talking so much to Altorun, his tone and demeanor seemed to be... They are all more alive, as if his decayed soul has regained its vitality.
"Joyboy?" Ortorun raised his brows and said softly.
As if hearing this name made him feel annoyed, Im nodded in disgust and said: "That's right...a guy who is more wanton and more reckless than me. He said that people like him will eventually change the world. , This makes me even more disgusted. These words sound arrogant to me, so if I find people like him, I will often destroy them.”
It was obvious that Im didn't want to talk about this annoying person at all. Seeing this, Altorun stopped asking any more questions.
He changed the topic and asked: "About that blank hundred years of history... It is said that there once was a huge kingdom. It was by defeating them that you twenty kings established the world government? That history? , what’s going on?”
"That..." Im touched his chin and said, "That's true. That country is strong, free, and advanced. It possesses many technologies that seemed to us like miracles at the time, and it also masters Incomparably powerful forces, such as King Uranus, one of the three ancient weapons, are their products..."
"Only Ouranos is their product?" Ortoron asked curiously.
"Of course, the ancient weapon Pluto was built in the Capital of Seven Waters after we tried our best to steal certain technologies. It was originally used to fight against the power of Uranus. It can be said that there are two They have the same origin, but in terms of other functions, Pluto is not as advanced as Uranus, and he can't fly... As for Poseidon, the King of the Sea, that is an even earlier power. The first batch of people were born from the deep sea. After the mermaid intelligent race, the power of Neptune has been passed down in the oldest mermaid bloodline... In other words, Pluto and Neptune were both born in our world, only Ouranos is foreign. Power..." Im introduced.
"External force?" Altorun grasped this description keenly.
"That's right, external power, why is there only a hundred years of blank history? Don't you think that in just one hundred years, that kingdom can be built from scratch and develop enough to cover and change the entire world? The power of the world, right? It took a hundred years to build that exaggerated technology from scratch?" Im patted Altorun on the shoulder and said after a pause: "That huge kingdom is not from our world. People, they come from the sky, from more distant planets..."
Amid Oltorun's surprise, Imcai continued: "It seems now that maybe their system back then was indeed more advanced and more advantageous, but for us at that time, they wanted to destroy us. The basis of their rule is to transform the world into the image of outsiders and invaders. Therefore, slave owners and nobles from all over the world have united and want to eliminate this so-called country. And in the end, the best of the best were selected, and it was our twenty kings who became the leaders of the coalition, defeated them, destroyed this period of history, and established the World Palace... In fact, you can definitely feel that the World Palace The establishment also, to a certain extent, absorbed the civilization and system of this kingdom..."
It is common for barbarism to destroy civilization.
And as Im said, the World Government did absorb a lot of this country's 'civilization'. For example, after that, the systems of various countries in the world gradually evolved from slavery to feudalism, and formed a system based on the world A grand coalition government with the Zhengfu as the central core.
And many subsequent technologies, ideas, etc., actually spread from within the World Palace.
To a certain extent, before the establishment of the World Government, the world was barbaric, ignorant, and loose. After that, the world entered a new stage, so the twenty kings were called 'Creators'. Among them, he is said to be the pioneer who 'created' the world. These claims do have a certain foundation.
Because it was only after the establishment of the World Government that a civilization covering the entire sea appeared in this world.
"As for the follow-up matters, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It doesn't mean much whether it's right or wrong. The only thing that can be determined is that the winner belongs to us, so justice and victory also belong to us... Maybe when the world's government After the destruction, there will be a new winner to rewrite this history and redefine this justice, right?" Im looked at Altorun with a thoughtful tone and eyes.
"Just like this moment, just like you and me?" Ortolen's expression became slightly more serious and he said softly.
"That's right, after all, only the person sitting on the throne has the right to define everything in this world... Next, it's time to talk about who owns the throne." Im said, He rubbed the armrest of the throne.
Chapter 447 Im: I am going to conquer the stars and the sea, Altoron.
"As you said, the only criterion in this world is strength, so the ownership of this throne should also be judged by strength..." Altorun said softly.
At the same time, one of his hands also touched the armrest of the throne.
"Strength is good." Im nodded.
But after a moment, he spoke again: "I originally wanted to give this throne to you, but after meeting you, I felt that it would be too arrogant and disrespectful to you... "
Im, who has ruled this world for more than 800 years, actually still considers respecting Ortorun at this moment, which shows that he indeed regards Ortorun as a person of the same level as him.
"Hahahaha, what you said, if you are willing to give it away, I can completely accept it." Ortorun laughed.
However, this is just a joke. He didn't really come to accept the favor all the way to the throne.
The throne he wanted was obtained by relying on his own strength, not by having Im send it to him.
Im didn't take these words seriously. He smiled and said, "Well, now there are two roads in front of us. Next, we need to make a choice."
"Which two roads?" Altoron asked.
"The first way is to fight to the death. You and I will fight until one of us dies. As for the follow-up, it goes without saying that the winner will take everything and redefine the world..." Im said here, slightly After a pause, he continued with some emotion: "But for me, this world will still not change much in the future. If I win, I will still be on this throne, waiting for the next person like you. Come...or, when I get impatient, I will destroy the world with my own hands and bury the world with me."
It was obvious that Im no longer valued this world, and the same was true for this throne. He was tired of it and even had some self-destructive tendencies.
This may be because the long time has brought him endless loneliness, and as a king and the strongest, he also maintains his identity and does not want to be associated with the lamb.
At most, he just has nothing to do, hides in a corner of the world, and does some interesting things, but these things will still make him lose interest quickly. When he completely loses his nostalgia for this world, maybe he really He will destroy the world and use this world as his graveyard.
Then, before Ortorun could speak, Im smiled and said: "But, is there any hatred between us that is difficult to eliminate or a reason to fight to the death?"
Ortoron was stunned for a moment, usurping Im's throne should have been the reason for their everlasting feud, but as of now, Im himself doesn't care about this, so what other hatreds are there? Yes, to be honest, Altorun really didn’t expect it.
He just saw Im for the first time today, so where is there any hatred at all?
It can even be said that he and Im get along quite happily... Both of them maintain respect for each other. Respect for their opponents means respect for themselves.
"It seems not..." Ortorun said after thinking for a moment.
After ruling out the struggle for the throne, he had no reason to kill Im.
"Ah, by the way, there is one thing I will never give up, so this may be the decisive factor in our fight to the death. If you can give up, we don't have to choose this first path." Im seemed to suddenly Thinking of something, he spoke.
"Which point?" Ortorun asked in surprise.
Even Im can give up the throne of the King of the World at will, but he didn't expect that he has another thing that he is more obsessed with?
"King of Heaven Uranus." Im touched his chin and said with a serious expression: "This is the only thing I can't give you, so if you insist on getting Ouranos, then we will have to fight to the death. Already..."
"Ah? Why?" Ortorun asked.
"Ouranos comes from outside this world, so it is also the only key to leaving this world. This world is no longer interesting to me, so if everything goes well, before I really choose to self-destruct, I can Let Uranus operate again, then I plan to take Uranus, leave here, and see the scenery outside the world... Maybe that can bring me a fresh feeling that is enough to cleanse my rotten soul... "Don't you think this is very interesting?" Im said enthusiastically.
"Leave this world?" Oltorun sighed, and then asked: "Doesn't this thing have a design or something? Can't we build another one?"
"Theoretically, of course it is possible. It was because we stole some of Uranus's technologies that we created Pluto... However, before, there was no one worthy of sharing Uranus with me, but If it's you... If you can beat me, I can certainly give you a copy of the blueprint of Uranus. As for whether you can build it later, it depends on your ability." Im said after thinking for a while.
After a short pause, Im sighed: "I heard from Satan that it seems that in another ten to eight years at the earliest, Uranos' energy technology can be reproduced. That technology will be available in In the hands of a scientist named Bega Punk, it is very likely to be reproduced. Now, they call it the Mother Fire..."
"That's right." Altoron nodded.
As for Im calling Saint Satan, one of the Five Old Stars, a 'boy', considering his age, Altorun surprisingly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
"So, if you had come ten or eight years later, you might not be able to see me when you arrive at Mariejoia and this throne..." Im laughed.
From what he meant, it seemed that if it were ten or eight years later, after this guy could completely restart Ouranos, he would probably be able to conquer the stars and the sea with ease.
But in the original story, it seems that Im did not do this, but wanted to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates that might shake his throne and extinguish the light.
This seems to be a bit of a conflict... But then I thought about it, Im just said that what he hates most is pirates, so in the original story, he wanted to kill the Straw Hat Pirates, right?
Perhaps in his opinion, the Straw Hats are not the people he wants to wait for, but the future predicted by Joey Boy, who disgusts him so much, so he would rather destroy the world than let Joey Boy Succeed.
Maybe, after he solves the future predicted by Joyboy, he will leave after all?
Ortorun didn't dwell too much on this matter. He thought about it for a while and said, "Please leave me a drawing about Uranus. I will build a new one later if I am interested. I will leave this original one." That's it for you. As for the energy issue, we can cooperate after the dispute between us is resolved. After the so-called 'Mother Fire' is built, I will personally send you away from this world..."
"Okay, this way, when you get tired of all this, you can also choose to come to me in the starry sky. Maybe by then, we will become like-minded partners, hahahahaha." Im satisfied. He nodded and agreed to Altoron's request.
Then, Im continued: "But the premise of all this is that you will win, so if I win..."
"What do you want?" Ortorun raised his eyebrows.
"If I win, you can quietly accompany me as a playmate to relieve your boredom in Mariejoia. I can satisfy you whatever you want. There is only one thing, that is, wait until I finish Urano. After Si's question, you have to go with me and leave this world together, so that I won't feel lonely on the road." Im said after touching his chin and thinking for a moment.
"Good guy, if I win, you pat my ass and leave. If you win, you pat my ass and leave, right?" Ortorun rolled his eyes and joked.
Seemingly finding this very interesting, Im smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it."
"Then I will have a lot of people to take with me...Unlike you, my bond is dead, and I still have many people I can't let go of..." Ortorun thought for a moment and said.
"Ouranos is huge..." Im smiled and responded.
"In this case, I will agree to your request, but I will not lose..." Ortorun nodded confidently.
"Then let's go. The boring and meaningless battles outside can stop. I have prepared the battlefield for you and me. Come with me..." Im said as he turned towards the outside of the hall. Go.
When Ortorun saw this, he didn't waste any time and followed him.
Chapter 448 The Supreme Dominance and the End of Power!
It was quiet inside the Void Hall, but as soon as the door opened, there was a loud bang, and the noisy sound of fighting outside immediately came in.
"Strength." Ortorun gave the answer without any hesitation.
In this world, everything such as money, wealth, status, reputation, etc. are castles in the air. Only strength is the eternal truth. The strong own everything, and the weak are allowed to be exploited.
"Yes, it's strength." Im nodded in agreement, and then said: "In this world, strength is the only criterion for measuring everything. Although you are young, you already have the same qualifications and strength as me. , you can naturally get my kindness.”
In other words, for Yi Mu, neither the Five Old Stars nor the others are strong enough to be in the same position as Yi Mu.
Because of this, Im never puts these people in his eyes, let alone gives them any respect or kindness.
"Last year, on a whim, I watched your duel with the so-called strongest man in the world, Whitebeard Edward Newgate. When you showed all your strength and overwhelmingly defeated the so-called 'most powerful man'. When Qiang was defeated, I knew that we would meet here one day," Im said with emotion.
"Why?" Ortorun asked slightly curiously.
"Because I saw my former self in you..." Im smiled, and the originally sharp eyes became a little ethereal, as if he was reminiscing about something.
After a moment, he said: "The strong are always lonely, and the lion never wants to be with the hyena. The empty throne is right there. As the strongest, how can he restrain his further ambitions? How can you convince yourself to be ranked with the weak? "

Then, before Altorun could speak, Im waved and said, "If you don't mind, just come forward and talk closer."
Upon seeing this, Altoron had no scruples, nodded, and then stepped up the stairs, passed the twenty sharp blades, passed the flag of the World Palace, and finally arrived in front of the throne.
And Im, no longer sitting there, also stood up and stood beside the throne.

"Why did you make this covenant and set up this throne of the void back then?" Altoron asked.

"As I said just now, strength is the criterion for measuring everything. No matter how the five old stars are changed, the strength will be the same.

And his indifference is naturally also a kind of absolute confidence.

It's quite interesting. I usually don't choose to extinguish a light like this. Maybe I will wait. I'm tired of playing, it's boring, let's think about this again... But back then, the Rocks Pirates were a group that I hated, so I chose to destroy the Rocks Pirates..."
"Why do you hate pirates?" Altoron asked again.
After raising this issue, Im's eyes flashed with disgust and he said: "Because the guy I hated the most was a pirate, and he could even be said to be... the first pirate in the world! "
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t communicated with anyone for a long time. When we first met, Im was still a bit ‘rotten’. After talking so much to Altorun, his tone and demeanor seemed to be... They are all more alive, as if his decayed soul has regained its vitality.
"Joyboy?" Ortorun raised his brows and said softly.
As if hearing this name made him feel annoyed, Im nodded in disgust and said: "That's right...a guy who is more wanton and more reckless than me. He said that people like him will eventually change the world. , This makes me even more disgusted. These words sound arrogant to me, so if I find people like him, I will often destroy them.”
It was obvious that Im didn't want to talk about this annoying person at all. Seeing this, Altorun stopped asking any more questions.
He changed the topic and asked: "About that blank hundred years of history... It is said that there once was a huge kingdom. It was by defeating them that you twenty kings established the world government? That history? , what’s going on?”
"That..." Im touched his chin and said, "That's true. That country is strong, free, and advanced. It possesses many technologies that seemed to us like miracles at the time, and it also masters Incomparably powerful forces, such as King Uranus, one of the three ancient weapons, are their products..."
"Only Ouranos is their product?" Ortoron asked curiously.
"Of course, the ancient weapon Pluto was built in the Capital of Seven Waters after we tried our best to steal certain technologies. It was originally used to fight against the power of Uranus. It can be said that there are two They have the same origin, but in terms of other functions, Pluto is not as advanced as Uranus, and he can't fly... As for Poseidon, the King of the Sea, that is an even earlier power. The first batch of people were born from the deep sea. After the mermaid intelligent race, the power of Neptune has been passed down in the oldest mermaid bloodline... In other words, Pluto and Neptune were both born in our world, only Ouranos is foreign. Power..." Im introduced.
"External force?" Altorun grasped this description keenly.
"That's right, external power, why is there only a hundred years of blank history? Don't you think that in just one hundred years, that kingdom can be built from scratch and develop enough to cover and change the entire world? The power of the world, right? It took a hundred years to build that exaggerated technology from scratch?" Im patted Altorun on the shoulder and said after a pause: "That huge kingdom is not from our world. People, they come from the sky, from more distant planets..."
Amid Oltorun's surprise, Imcai continued: "It seems now that maybe their system back then was indeed more advanced and more advantageous, but for us at that time, they wanted to destroy us. The basis of their rule is to transform the world into the image of outsiders and invaders. Therefore, slave owners and nobles from all over the world have united and want to eliminate this so-called country. And in the end, the best of the best were selected, and it was our twenty kings who became the leaders of the coalition, defeated them, destroyed this period of history, and established the World Palace... In fact, you can definitely feel that the World Palace The establishment also, to a certain extent, absorbed the civilization and system of this kingdom..."
It is common for barbarism to destroy civilization.
And as Im said, the World Government did absorb a lot of this country's 'civilization'. For example, after that, the systems of various countries in the world gradually evolved from slavery to feudalism, and formed a system based on the world A grand coalition government with the Zhengfu as the central core.
And many subsequent technologies, ideas, etc., actually spread from within the World Palace.
To a certain extent, before the establishment of the World Government, the world was barbaric, ignorant, and loose. After that, the world entered a new stage, so the twenty kings were called 'Creators'. Among them, he is said to be the pioneer who 'created' the world. These claims do have a certain foundation.
Because it was only after the establishment of the World Government that a civilization covering the entire sea appeared in this world.
"As for the follow-up matters, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It doesn't mean much whether it's right or wrong. The only thing that can be determined is that the winner belongs to us, so justice and victory also belong to us... Maybe when the world's government After the destruction, there will be a new winner to rewrite this history and redefine this justice, right?" Im looked at Altorun with a thoughtful tone and eyes.
"Just like this moment, just like you and me?" Ortolen's expression became slightly more serious and he said softly.
"That's right, after all, only the person sitting on the throne has the right to define everything in this world... Next, it's time to talk about who owns the throne." Im said, He rubbed the armrest of the throne.
Chapter 447 Im: I am going to conquer the stars and the sea, Altoron.
"As you said, the only criterion in this world is strength, so the ownership of this throne should also be judged by strength..." Altorun said softly.
At the same time, one of his hands also touched the armrest of the throne.
"Strength is good." Im nodded.
But after a moment, he spoke again: "I originally wanted to give this throne to you, but after meeting you, I felt that it would be too arrogant and disrespectful to you... "
Im, who has ruled this world for more than 800 years, actually still considers respecting Ortorun at this moment, which shows that he indeed regards Ortorun as a person of the same level as him.
"Hahahaha, what you said, if you are willing to give it away, I can completely accept it." Ortorun laughed.
However, this is just a joke. He didn't really come to accept the favor all the way to the throne.
The throne he wanted was obtained by relying on his own strength, not by having Im send it to him.
Im didn't take these words seriously. He smiled and said, "Well, now there are two roads in front of us. Next, we need to make a choice."
"Which two roads?" Altoron asked.
"The first way is to fight to the death. You and I will fight until one of us dies. As for the follow-up, it goes without saying that the winner will take everything and redefine the world..." Im said here, slightly After a pause, he continued with some emotion: "But for me, this world will still not change much in the future. If I win, I will still be on this throne, waiting for the next person like you. Come...or, when I get impatient, I will destroy the world with my own hands and bury the world with me."
It was obvious that Im no longer valued this world, and the same was true for this throne. He was tired of it and even had some self-destructive tendencies.
This may be because the long time has brought him endless loneliness, and as a king and the strongest, he also maintains his identity and does not want to be associated with the lamb.
At most, he just has nothing to do, hides in a corner of the world, and does some interesting things, but these things will still make him lose interest quickly. When he completely loses his nostalgia for this world, maybe he really He will destroy the world and use this world as his graveyard.
Then, before Ortorun could speak, Im smiled and said: "But, is there any hatred between us that is difficult to eliminate or a reason to fight to the death?"
Ortoron was stunned for a moment, usurping Im's throne should have been the reason for their everlasting feud, but as of now, Im himself doesn't care about this, so what other hatreds are there? Yes, to be honest, Altorun really didn’t expect it.
He just saw Im for the first time today, so where is there any hatred at all?
It can even be said that he and Im get along quite happily... Both of them maintain respect for each other. Respect for their opponents means respect for themselves.
"It seems not..." Ortorun said after thinking for a moment.
After ruling out the struggle for the throne, he had no reason to kill Im.
"Ah, by the way, there is one thing I will never give up, so this may be the decisive factor in our fight to the death. If you can give up, we don't have to choose this first path." Im seemed to suddenly Thinking of something, he spoke.
"Which point?" Ortorun asked in surprise.
Even Im can give up the throne of the King of the World at will, but he didn't expect that he has another thing that he is more obsessed with?
"King of Heaven Uranus." Im touched his chin and said with a serious expression: "This is the only thing I can't give you, so if you insist on getting Ouranos, then we will have to fight to the death. Already..."
"Ah? Why?" Ortorun asked.
"Ouranos comes from outside this world, so it is also the only key to leaving this world. This world is no longer interesting to me, so if everything goes well, before I really choose to self-destruct, I can Let Uranus operate again, then I plan to take Uranus, leave here, and see the scenery outside the world... Maybe that can bring me a fresh feeling that is enough to cleanse my rotten soul... "Don't you think this is very interesting?" Im said enthusiastically.
"Leave this world?" Oltorun sighed, and then asked: "Doesn't this thing have a design or something? Can't we build another one?"
"Theoretically, of course it is possible. It was because we stole some of Uranus's technologies that we created Pluto... However, before, there was no one worthy of sharing Uranus with me, but If it's you... If you can beat me, I can certainly give you a copy of the blueprint of Uranus. As for whether you can build it later, it depends on your ability." Im said after thinking for a while.
After a short pause, Im sighed: "I heard from Satan that it seems that in another ten to eight years at the earliest, Uranos' energy technology can be reproduced. That technology will be available in In the hands of a scientist named Bega Punk, it is very likely to be reproduced. Now, they call it the Mother Fire..."
"That's right." Altoron nodded.
As for Im calling Saint Satan, one of the Five Old Stars, a 'boy', considering his age, Altorun surprisingly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
"So, if you had come ten or eight years later, you might not be able to see me when you arrive at Mariejoia and this throne..." Im laughed.
From what he meant, it seemed that if it were ten or eight years later, after this guy could completely restart Ouranos, he would probably be able to conquer the stars and the sea with ease.
But in the original story, it seems that Im did not do this, but wanted to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates that might shake his throne and extinguish the light.
This seems to be a bit of a conflict... But then I thought about it, Im just said that what he hates most is pirates, so in the original story, he wanted to kill the Straw Hat Pirates, right?
Perhaps in his opinion, the Straw Hats are not the people he wants to wait for, but the future predicted by Joey Boy, who disgusts him so much, so he would rather destroy the world than let Joey Boy Succeed.
Maybe, after he solves the future predicted by Joyboy, he will leave after all?
Ortorun didn't dwell too much on this matter. He thought about it for a while and said, "Please leave me a drawing about Uranus. I will build a new one later if I am interested. I will leave this original one." That's it for you. As for the energy issue, we can cooperate after the dispute between us is resolved. After the so-called 'Mother Fire' is built, I will personally send you away from this world..."
"Okay, this way, when you get tired of all this, you can also choose to come to me in the starry sky. Maybe by then, we will become like-minded partners, hahahahaha." Im satisfied. He nodded and agreed to Altoron's request.
Then, Im continued: "But the premise of all this is that you will win, so if I win..."
"What do you want?" Ortorun raised his eyebrows.
"If I win, you can quietly accompany me as a playmate to relieve your boredom in Mariejoia. I can satisfy you whatever you want. There is only one thing, that is, wait until I finish Urano. After Si's question, you have to go with me and leave this world together, so that I won't feel lonely on the road." Im said after touching his chin and thinking for a moment.
"Good guy, if I win, you pat my ass and leave. If you win, you pat my ass and leave, right?" Ortorun rolled his eyes and joked.
Seemingly finding this very interesting, Im smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it."
"Then I will have a lot of people to take with me...Unlike you, my bond is dead, and I still have many people I can't let go of..." Ortorun thought for a moment and said.
"Ouranos is huge..." Im smiled and responded.
"In this case, I will agree to your request, but I will not lose..." Ortorun nodded confidently.
"Then let's go. The boring and meaningless battles outside can stop. I have prepared the battlefield for you and me. Come with me..." Im said as he turned towards the outside of the hall. Go.
When Ortorun saw this, he didn't waste any time and followed him.
Chapter 448 The Supreme Dominance and the End of Power!
It was quiet inside the Void Hall, but as soon as the door opened, there was a loud bang, and the noisy sound of fighting outside immediately came in.
