Sky island

Suddenly in the middle of the forest a tall man appeared out of nowhere wearing a mask covering the upper half of his face, this person looked around and then started walking in a certain direction.

After a while he arrived at a place that looked like a training ground and there were many people training under Zuma's supervision.

These people are the talents chosen by Ethan.

Zuma looked back and when he saw the person wearing the mask he frowned while saying seriously, "Who are you? No strangers are allowed to walk around here."

"Zuma, this is me." The man took off the mask, causing Zuma to be surprised and get down on one knee.

"Kami-sama, forgive me because I didn't recognize you." Zuma apologized but he was very confused because Ethan's aura was completely different when he wore the mask.

"You don't need to kneel." Ethan laughed lightly. "This mask has the advantage of changing my year's aura to make me more mysterious and unrecognizable."

A month ago, Emma advised him to wear a mask to conceal his identity, and he listened to her advice and bought a mask from the system.

Ethan looked at the people training and gave the orders to Zuma, "Make them stop training and gather in front of me."

"TRAINING IS OVER, GATHER HERE NOW!!" Zuma shouted loudly for everyone to hear.

Everyone gathered and looked at Zuma in confusion, "Zuma-sama what happened, is there something wrong with our training?"

"There is nothing wrong, just Kami-sama wants to see you." Zuma smiled as he pointed to Ethan.

Hearing this, everyone knelt down and there was a look of awe and admiration when looking at Ethan.

'It's already been a month since we started training.' These people excitedly thought, 'It's time for Kami-sama to choose some of us to go with him to the Blue Sea.'

Ethan did not say anything and walked towards these talents and put his hand on the head of the first one and then taught him two types of Haki and six Rokushiki techniques in a moment, and he started doing this with the rest one by one and then walked towards Zuma and did the same thing.

Zuma opened his eyes in shock while muttering, "Mantra?!"

For them, the Mantra or Observation Haki only appears in very talented people, so when Ethan taught them this technique along with another set of other cool techniques, their faith increased that Ethan was God.

Everyone present looked at Ethan with admiration and reverence and the faith energy began to leave their bodies and go into Ethan's body.

Ethan smiled upon seeing this and after a moment looked toward the children in this group of talents, earlier when he passed on the skills to them he noticed that many of them were just children.

So he decided that he would wait for these children for a few years until they were older and stronger before they officially joined the organization. "Everyone under 15, go back to training while the rest of you will stay here."

Although Ethan could take them to the Guild and they would be trained there, he didn't want to take these kids away from their families for the time being but when they reached the age of 15 Ethan would consider them adults and he could take them with him.

Many of them showed sad expressions as they returned to training but only a 12-year-old knelt in front of Ethan, "Please allow me to stay, even though I'm young, I'm stronger than I look."

"Gan Fall, are you disobeying Kami-sama's orders?" Zuma looked at the child angrily.

Ethan gestured for Zuma to back off and then walked towards the future ruler of Sky Island. "Gan Fall, I can tell at one glance that your strength ranks nine out of everyone here."

"Then will you allow me to accompany you?" The boy looked at Ethan with joy.

"No, you're a bit young and I'd rather you get stronger here before you join the organization." The boy lowered his head but what Ethan said after that made him some hope appear in his eyes, "But I can let you join in if you can do one thing."

"Attack me with the strongest attack you have. If you make me move, you will be officially accepted into the organization." Everyone looked at this in shock and didn't expect Ethan to say this. He is a god to them and it was forbidden to attack him.

"Kami-sama, I can't do this." Gan Fall bit his lower lip, "Could you please change the condition."

"It's okay, I allow you to attack me. Seeing the boy still shivering, Ethan looked at him seriously, "Do you think I'm weak and will be affected by your attack?"

"No, I don't mean that." Gan Fall Speak with respect.

After a while, Gan Fall agreed to attack Ethan after his insistence.

"Can I use Impact Dial or should I use my own power." The Sky Island warriors mostly rely on Dial to fight but Ethan doesn't want them to rely on that entirely which is why their training didn't include using Dial to fight.

"Use what you think is stronger." Ethan said carelessly because no matter what attack Gan Fall would do, he wouldn't move an inch.

"Then I will use Impact Dial." Gan Fall took out the Impact Dial and placed it on his palm, then quickly approached Ethan and placed his hand on Ethan's stomach, then activated the Impact Dial.

The Impact Dial was successfully activated and a thunderous sound came as a result of the stored power being released but Ethan's body didn't move at all as if Gan Fall hadn't done anything.

"Impossible!" Gan Fall opened his eyes wide, though Impact Dial doesn't leave any visible external damage but is supposed to cause internal injuries and no matter how strong the person receiving is supposed to back off a few steps or be thrown away.

"You seem to have failed." Ethan smiled, "But you didn't fail because you couldn't take me back one step, but you failed because you thought Impact Dial was better than you."

"Gan Fall, focus on increasing your own power instead of relying on outside tools." Ethan patted him on the shoulder "So get back to training now."

"As you order." Gan Fall sighed as he walked away but admired Ethan, 'As expected of Kami-sama he's very strong and wise.'

After that, Ethan made the remaining talents fight among themselves and then choose the best people to join the organization.

Ethan chose not only fighting talents, but also people who can spy, manage and organize information, or people who have a talent for social communication to be the front of the organization.

After Ethan finished all of this and was planning to come back, he spoke to Zuma, "Kami-sama, there's something we want to show you."

Ethan raised an eyebrow, 'What does he want to show me?'

Ethan followed him and a few minutes later appeared in front of them a large white palace made of the finest solid clouds.

"What is this?" Ethan asked confused.

"This is a palace made for you." Zuma smiled, "Managed by two hundred beautiful virgins, these virgins will dedicate their soul and body to serving the god of lust and sex."

"Were these girls forced to do this?" Ethan frowned while looking at Zuma.

"We certainly wouldn't do anything like that, all these girls volunteered themselves to do this." Zuma smiled bitterly, "Actually all the women of Sky Island have volunteered to do this work."

"We rejected married women and not-so-pretty girls and chose the 200 most beautiful girls." Zuma sighed and he was feeling a headache because of what happened a month ago and did not imagine that all the women and girls on Sky Island volunteered to work in the palace and serve Ethan with their souls and bodies.

He is disappointed with his wife, who also volunteered.

Ethan blinked several times in amazement at what he just heard, "Are you serious?"

Although he does not mind having sex with all the women of this island, he agreed to what Zuma did. Because if he monopolizes all women, after fifty years the people of Sky Island will be extinct.

"I'm serious." Zuma sighed.

"You did a good job, Zuma." Ethan patted Zuma's shoulder.

Zuma was relieved to see that Ethan was happy with what he had done.

Ethan looked at the palace and then said with a big smile on his face, "I will come tomorrow to see what this palace has to offer."

Ethan put on his mask and then asked all the talents he chose to hold each other's hands and then put his hand on the shoulder of one of them and teleported everyone to the organization's headquarters.
