Chapter 572: Power of Annihilation

This flash of light came so suddenly.

At the moment the flash appeared, everyone who saw it had their vision engulfed in a white expanse, unable to see anything else. They could only hear a crisp explosion, as if something had shattered.

Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, the three Admirals, reacted the fastest. They were on guard the moment Ian raised his hand. When the flash of white energy suddenly appeared, they instinctively covered their bodies with Haki.

However, with the sound of shattering echoing in their ears, the next moment, they felt as if something had struck them all over their bodies!

How to describe this feeling? It’s like standing in a torrential downpour, being hit by countless raindrops, except the density of these “raindrops” is unbelievable, and the impact is much stronger…

Just like bullets…

In that brief moment, Akainu felt as if he had been struck by hundreds of thousands of “bullets,” hitting every part of his body without exception. The powerful impact force penetrated through the Haki protective layer, forming a continuous shockwave inside his body. It shook his entire being, making his blood surge and his veins feel like they were about to burst.

The ground beneath his feet, originally frozen by Aokiji, shattered under this seemingly endless force. Akainu’s feet sank deeply into the broken ice, and he kept sliding backward.

Not only him, but Aokiji and Kizaru were also in the same situation. The three Admirals all had their arms crossed over their heads, protecting their heads as much as possible. Their feet were in a squatting position, stabilizing their lower bodies, sliding backward together, carving deep grooves in the ice…

The difference was that Aokiji had initially planned to rely on his speed to escape, but he soon found out that these indescribable attacks were also moving at the speed of light and covered a considerable range.

In other words, no matter where he flew, he would be hit.

Unable to escape or dodge, the only way to respond was to endure it. However, the attacks were too dense. Their Haki covering their bodies rapidly weakened under such assaults, forcing the three of them to grit their teeth and drain their stamina to maintain their Haki defense.

They also considered using their elemental incarnations to counter these attacks, to see if they could pass through, but based on their understanding of Ian’s abilities, they highly suspected that this was also a form of energy attack. If that were the case, their elemental bodies wouldn’t be able to dodge the attacks and would instead be injured by the energy strikes.

Under this intense flash of white energy, they couldn’t see the surrounding situation clearly, thinking that Ian’s attack was only aimed at the three of them.

However, in the footage captured by the Den Den Mushi, the situation was not as they had assumed.

Perhaps because the position of the war correspondents was relatively distant, the footage captured by the Den Den Mushi was not too glaring. However, the people watching the live broadcast from Sabaody Island and around the world could clearly see everything that was happening on the scene.

In their stunned gaze, they only saw the Warlord, Black Dragon Ian, raising his hands, and then, as if another sun had appeared in the sky over the battlefield, countless personnel in the Marine positions were immediately struck by some inexplicable force. Many Marine soldiers trembled all over, as if caught in a high-frequency wind, their entire bodies vibrating, pressed into the ice below.

Except for those Marine senior officers who knew how to use Armament Haki for protection and could still stand, the weaker ones all fell down!

At the same time, the ice surface and the exposed rocks on it were disintegrating in a strange manner. Facing the light, both the ice and the rocks turned into countless fine dust, drifting in the air…

One second, two seconds, the Marines on the battlefield fell like wheat being harvested.

Three seconds, four seconds, the area shrouded in light on the entire battlefield was filled with white and gray dust.

After the fifth second, the light suddenly disappeared, as if it was never there.

Perhaps to bystanders, these five seconds passed in the blink of an eye, but for Akainu and the others within the attack range, it felt as if a century had passed.

“Huff… huff…” Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru breathed heavily, slowly lowering their arms. They were drenched in sweat, as if they had just been pulled out of water.

As they slowly unclenched their fists, Akainu noticed that his limbs were still trembling, as if experiencing the aftermath of muscles being overly tense. A feeling of weakness washed over him, followed by a hint of metallic taste in his throat. Unconsciously, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

The three Admirals all did the same. It wasn’t because they were injured; in fact, they had managed to withstand the attack with their Armament Haki. However, as mentioned earlier, under the endless barrage of pressure impacts, their internal organs suffered bleeding caused by high-frequency vibrations.

After spitting out blood, they felt somewhat relieved, but the people watching this scene through the live broadcast were terrified.

“Are… are they injured!?”

“The Admirals… have they been injured by Ian!?”

“It’s over! I didn’t expect Ian to be so powerful. The Marines are doomed to fail!!”

After wiping the blood from the corners of their mouths with their sleeves, Akainu and the others turned their heads to look around.

However, what they saw made even them horrified!

The raised dust was slowly settling, and on the periphery, one could even see that the area covered by the previous flash had decreased by a thickness of ten centimeters!

In other words, Ian’s strike just now had effortlessly shaved off ten centimeters of the ground…

Nearby, the Marines had fallen over a large area, and without exception, they were all deeply buried under the ice, with some even being crushed into the rocky ground. Some were even stacked on top of each other and pressed into the ground!

There were all sorts of bizarre humanoid craters, and the Marines in these craters were riddled with wounds, blood oozing out, making for a gruesome sight.

How many Marines had been taken out by this strike? Three thousand? Five thousand? Or ten thousand!?

The numbers were too many to count, but from the distant side angle, Sengoku could only see that the Marine encirclement seemed to have been bitten off by some gigantic beast…

“What… what ability is this!? How can it be so terrifying!?” Even Sengoku, at this moment, was trembling from Ian’s strike. He couldn’t tell if it was fear or anger.

“This is the power to destroy a country…” Garp, with his arms folded, had a grim expression. He had seen plenty of casualties in war, but it was the first time he had witnessed an attack of such immense scale and dreadfulness.

To put it bluntly, if Ian were to use this move in the capital of a certain country, it would instantly destroy an entire city!

“Damn it!” Gecko Moria watched the scene unfold, his eyes wide. It was his first time witnessing Ian, one of the Seven Warlords, unleash his power, and he was completely taken aback. He stared blankly at the gruesome scene and exclaimed, “That guy is scarier than a monster…”

Doflamingo stood beside him, not saying a word, but incessantly biting his nails, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“What… what was that light?” Hawkeye Mihawk subconsciously gripped the black blade behind his back. Even he felt the intense threat from Ian’s strike just now.

Boa Hancock, unable to bear to look at the gruesome scene, lightly covered her mouth and turned away…

And Ian? In fact, even the assaulter himself was shocked by the lethality of his BRIGHT LIGHT “Encompassing Chaos” attack!

When his Nen practice skill reached the Grandmaster level and he could use this ultimate move of Orochi, Ian secretly tested it on an uninhabited sea surface to understand its power.

Originally in the game, this move was an indiscriminate full-screen attack, but when used in reality, Ian realized there were differences.

This move actually used a form of spatial power, but it wasn’t about manipulating space. Instead, it shattered space directly, then shot out billions of spatial fragments at the speed of light, providing all-encompassing coverage and striking the target from all directions!

That storm of deathly white energy is actually the energy produced when space collapses…

The larger the range and the longer the duration, the greater the corresponding Nen consumption for Ian!

Moreover, this move has a downside: apart from Ian, the caster, everyone else becomes a target.

Ian’s current Nen value is just over ten thousand. With the boost from his Bankai, it can be increased to about eighty thousand. Adding the base Nen power doubled by the Evil Eye Master skill, he can just reach the standard of one hundred thousand Nen power. So, he can only increase the duration of the continuous attack by reducing the range accordingly.

Even so, he can only hold out for about five seconds now, with an average output of twenty thousand Nen values per second…

However, there is an advantage to this, which is that it avoids indiscriminate attacks that don’t distinguish between friend and foe, preventing members of the Whitebeard Pirates from being inadvertently attacked.

When Ian tested it alone before, he didn’t think much of it. But this time, when he used it against the Navy, he realized its extraordinary killing power!

How should I put it, maybe it’s really because of the original red card, the skill’s power far exceeds imagination. It can be said that, in the face of this move, ordinary people without Haki are doomed!
