--- Chapter 302 ---
The Tiny World was in chaos.
There are too many changes that happened in a very short time.
And Oceana couldn't handle them all despite being the living will of Tiny World.
She was hopeless and powerless.
Huo Yuhao watched continents and islands appear one after another, filling the oceanic world with wonders.
The descendants of D and Celestial Dragons are still fighting, but it was less intense than before.
They were busy developing their forces, especially the Celestial Dragons, as they built twenty kingdoms.On the other hand, the descendant of D also built a kingdom with the help of hideous creatures. It was just one kingdom but much stronger than the twenty kingdoms.
Huo Yuhao didn't expect the descendant of D to be this friendly with the hideous creatures as if they had a connection with them.
Interesting, very interesting.
Kacha~!
Suddenly, the massive dark swirls in the sky turned into crimson cracks.
Oceana frowned upon seeing this, "They are coming."
"They?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
"They have no name, but I called them the Wardens," Ocean answered coldly. "And they are the ones who sent those creatures, Ancestors of D and Ancestors of Celestial Dragon, down to the Tiny World."
"Their strength is unfathomable."
"But something about their goal is weird to me."
"What do you mean?" Huo Yuhao becomes even more curious.
Oceana put on a bitter smile, "Just watch."
The crack expanded, and three figures descended. They are clad in dark fabric and possess an immortal-like aura.
It was weird to describe their aura with the immortal-like word, but something about these figures contains the quality of the higher dimensional plane.
The dark-clad figures have varied body shapes.
The first one is tall and thin.
The second is muscular yet short.
The last is feminine yet mysterious.
The three figures exploded with terrifying might, causing the world to lose its color.
"This is..." Huo Yuhao was surprised.
"Haki!"
Each dark-clad figure blasted the world with their Conqueror's Haki.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Storms swept the Tiny Worlds, dragging every creature gathered beneath the three dark-clad figures.
Huo Yuhao was momentarily fascinated because this force-like ability is beyond ordinary Conqueror's Haki!
"They are talking gibberish." Huo Yuhao squinted his blue eyes as he couldn't understand what these dark-clad figures were saying.
He asked Evo to scan the language these dark-clad figures used, and the system told Yuhao it was on it already.
Timelapse happened.
The descendants of D and Celestial Dragons were in truce while the dark-clad figures were observing them.
Each day is suffocating because they don't know what the dark-clad figures are trying to do.
These wardens are unsympathetic.
That's until one day, a fruit comes into existence.
Yes, Devil Fruit!
The wardens are happy and immediately bring the Devil Fruit for themselves before disappearing into the crimson crack.
Well, at least one of them has returned to the crack, leaving the other two behind.
[I have scanned the language. It was Divine Tongue of Ostera Race]
[Ostera Race is like High Humans, but their genes are unstable, causing them to mutate with different traits usually]
[They are from the Myriad Heaven Realm, Host]
[That's the half-step 7th Dimensional Order Rank mainly focused on Cultivation into Immortality]
[I also scanned their ability earlier and made some connections]
[Haki, you know and mastered, actually originated from Ostera Race]
[Of course, it has a different name]
[They called it "Divine Might!"]
Huo Yuhao was stunned. He didn't expect his guess about the connection between Tiny World and the upper realm to be true.
If his guest is accurate, then the wardens' goal is clear.
'Evo, their goal is probably that, right?'
[Yes, they are using the Tiny World as their garden to grow Concept Fruits]
Damn it, Evo.
I was joking. Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched in disbelief.
ROAR! BOOM!
Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a fierce battle between the twenty kingdoms of Celestial Dragon and the Great Kingdom of D.
The wardens seemed to encourage them to do it.
The tall and thin warden backed the Celestial Dragon.
And the feminine and mysterious warden backed the D.
It was a fierce war, but no real winner came out. Both sides are just waiting for mutual destruction at this point.
That's until the feminine and mysterious warden taught the D to use a weakened version of Divine Might, Haki.
It angered the tall and thin warden. He wanted to do the same with the Celestial Dragon's descendants, but they couldn't learn Haki due to hereditary reasons.
Of course, that would change in the future.
The tall and thin warden nurtured the Celestial Dragons, modifying their genes and granting them a chance to win.
The feminine and mysterious warden also didn't just watch.
The female warden taught the Great Kingdom about ancient technology, which was her expertise.
Hundreds of years later.
The constant war between D and Celestial Dragons broke out.
The tall and thin warden did a dirty trick. He cast the descendant of D with a horrifying curse.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what the curse was, but the descendant of D seemed to be in pain.
Weirdly, the female warden doesn't seem to care about her subordinates' suffering. She silently observed and hovered in the sky aloofly.
The descendants of D were 'naturally' suppressed by the Celestial Dragons.
Yet fate works wonderfully when a genius is born in the Great Kingdom.
He wasn't the descendant of D nor the hideous creature. He was the first pure human in the Tiny World.
Pure, as in having balanced genes.
The genius created many inventions, allowing the Great Kingdom to stand on an even field with the twenty kingdoms. It didn't last long, though.
Awoooo~!
A sound broke the sea, parting it into two parts.
The wardens look surprised, watching mermaids appear on the surface.
They look shocked.
"Fishmen and Merfolk are my children." Oceana suddenly stated. "I used the tainted flesh of hideous creatures and grew lives with it. After years of evolution, they become Fishmen."
"Unfortunately, they are weaker than the wardens. It is just the first encounter and testing."
With the appearance of Fishmen, the wardens seemed to hasten their steps. They began to force the Great Kingdom and twenty kingdoms to wage war against each other.
And the second Devil Fruit appeared.
The male warden is happy.
But the female warden fought over him, snatching the Devil Fruit.
Sun dawned over them, creating cracks all over the area.
They injured each other heavily.
Eventually, the Devil Fruit fell into the hands of young Buccaneers.
Buccaneers is the descendant of Giant and Pure Human.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "This guy."
"Joyboy," Oceana answered longingly.
"The First Pirate."
"Who is also known as the Warrior of Liberation and Sun God Nika."
Everyone watched Joyboy eat the Devil Fruit and put the wardens in a difficult spot. They are angry but can't do anything about the young Buccaneers.
Contrary to Huo Yuhao's guess, the Joyboy didn't get any power as soon as he ate the Devil Fruit.
Joyboy sailed to the sea, unaware of the wardens' scheme.
He befriended the Fishmen under the influence of Oceana, making a long promise about something. Oceana didn't show it to Huo Yuhao.
Well, Huo Yuhao didn't care much.
As Joyboy roamed around the Tiny World, he finally reached adulthood and decided to return to his homeland.
Unfortunately, the wardens have schemed behind Joyboy's back and enslaved people from the Great Kingdom into serving the twenty kingdoms.
Huo Yuhao didn't understand why the wardens did not kill Joyboy directly.
They have the power.
Wait, there might be a restriction. The wardens couldn't act recklessly in the Tiny World.
Watching his folks suffer, Joyboy laughed.
It was the laugh of misery.
For the first time, Joyboy lost his joy,
KABOOOOM!
Joyboy's body released an extreme aura.
His body becomes rubber-like, stretching and moving jiggly.
He grabbed a handful of rocks and sand, turning them into a sword and spear.
Boing~! Boing!
Joyboy jumped behind the image of a sun and attacked the Celestial Dragons.
He laughed at them all, dominating the battlefield.
Moreover, the wardens look fascinated and happy.
They seem surprised by Joyboy's power, which gives them a bright idea.
That day, the wardens changed their approach and formulated the plan to feed 'blank' Devil Fruits to the descendants of D and Celestial Dragons before harvesting them.
"The lost history... The final war is about to begin." Oceana said softly.
