Chapter 146
"Is this Skypiea?" Robin looked at the beautiful cloud-covered sky island curiously.
"I never thought that the legendary sky island really existed." Drake expressed her surprise as well.
"Old man Pegasus rider, how long do you want to hide and watch?" Vermillion suddenly asked.
Near the Hanging Gardens, an old man riding a Pegasus appeared, "Hello, my name is Gan Fall, a sky knight." He greeted after landing at the Hanging Gardens, "I am willing to help as long as you are willing to pay me. If I may know, what drew you to visit this place?"
Hearing the warm old man's greeting, Vermillion smiled but remained silent as he focused on the figure rushing to his garden.
A bolt of lightning came from afar, which then condensed into a human form.
"What a nice island... An island like this is only fit for a God like me." Looking at Vermillion, Enel said, "Human, although I don't know what you came here for, I want you to get off that island right now. From now on, I am the owner." Enel arbitrarily ordered the unknown person to get out of the Hanging Gardens.
"Lord Enel?!" Gan Fall was shocked.
"A God? Haha!" Vermillion greeted Enel's appearance with a disdainful laugh. Pointing at Enel, his fingertips suddenly glowed with dazzling light.
"Hmm?!" Enel frowned as he was suddenly blinded by a strange light that appeared out of nowhere.
Enel, who failed to react, was hit by the light beam. A powerful explosion followed afterward.
"T-this?" Gan Fall gaped, "W-what have you done?! He is a God; his power and orders are absolute!"
"No, you must leave here immediately. Otherwise, Lord Enel will kill you."
"They won't be able to escape." Without Gan Fall expecting it, Enel, who had survived the attack earlier, suddenly appeared near Vermillion, "How dare you attack the mighty God. A mortal like you needs to be put to death. One million volts!" Powerful lightning instantly flashed from his palm.
Facing Enel's attack, Vermillion calmly fired another, more powerful light beam at Enel. Enel's lightning instantly disappeared as soon as the two attacks collided, and the light beam continued to streak toward its target.
Once again, Enel's body was hit by the opponent's attack. The explosion even sent him flying into the Hanging Gardens.
"Uninvited guests like you don't deserve to set foot in my garden." Collectives of light condensed into human form near Enel.
"You!" Enel stared in shock at his enemy. He clearly sensed that the opponent was moving not much slower than him.
"How dare you attack me! You have angered the almighty God!" The furious Enel pointed towards the sky with his golden staff. A powerful lightning bolt formed following his gesture and immediately struck towards his enemy.
"God's Judgment!"
"Yahahaha! No matter how fast you are, you still won't be faster than thunder!" Enel laughed like a maniac.
"Boring~" Vermillion's voice rang out from within the still-striking thunder.
"Nani?!" Enel was utterly shocked.
"I thought your attack was strong, but it turned out to be mediocre." Still wrapped in electricity, Vermillion came out; strangely, the electricity surrounding his body was shaped like Spartan armor with a distinctive crest. At first glance, his figure looked majestic and mighty, but a few seconds later, the armor mode evaporated.
"It seems that you still haven't developed your skills well." He was clearly disappointed, "As for speed, mine exceeds yours." His figure instantly appeared in front of Enel, this time wielding a sword made of light.
"Grr!" The surprised Enel hurriedly dodged the opponent's attack with all his strength.
At first, he wondered why his earlier attack did not affect his enemy, but then he thought the voltage was insufficient. Still not satisfied, Enel immediately launched a second God's Judgment.
Hearing the howls of thunder from the sky, the entire population of Skypiea fell to their knees and fearfully prayed to Enel.
"Aisa, who has angered Enel?" Wyper asked Aisa.
"Wait, I'll check it," Aisa nodded shakily, "Impossible! There's someone whose body is wrapped in light fighting Enel! T-they're moving so fast, and I can't see them clearly."
"This is our golden opportunity." Wyper clenched his fists tightly, "Enel has occupied the land of our ancestors for so long; now it's time for us to reclaim it!"
"Everyone, get ready! While Enel is busy, we need to act fast!" Wyper gave the order.
The Shandian soldiers took immediate action.
Back to Vermillion.
"You bastard!" Enel swore. That bastard kept chasing him!
After a few exchanges with his enemy, Enel realized that his attacks had little effect on him. Instead, the sword of light caused him pain every time it hit him. Although he was not seriously injured, he still hated the pain.
