Chapter 102: The End of World Government V
Meanwhile, Im's smirk widened ever so slightly. "You think you can outmatch me, mortal? Let's see how far you're willing to go," she murmured, pressing yet another button.
The machine unleashed an even stronger surge of energy, the bluish beam swelling to monstrous proportions. It roared as it barreled toward Dave, threatening to swallow his crimson beam entirely.
But Dave refused to yield. "If you think this is enough to stop me..." he snarled, his aura growing darker and fiercer. Flames of black and red energy erupted around him, intertwining with his Devil Sword.
"Then you don't know who you're dealing with!"
With a deafening roar, Dave unleashed the full force of his Sin Devil Form. The ground beneath him shattered entirely, and the red beam intensified, growing larger and more destructive. The two beams clashed again, now creating a vortex of spiraling energy that stretched high into the heavens.
The vortex collapsed with an earth-shaking implosion, its energy dispersing into the atmosphere like a storm of crimson and blue. The resulting shockwave sent debris and dust cascading into the sky, scattering remnants of the machine that had ascended high above the clouds. A piercing red beam streaked upward, tearing through the machinery's core with precision, leaving it as nothing more than a smoldering husk plummeting to the ground.
Im rose from the rubble with an eerie calmness, brushing off the falling debris as though it were mere dust. She fixed her gaze on Dave, whose crimson aura burned like an inferno, his form still emanating the overwhelming power of his Sin Devil Form.
Dave stood unflinching, gesturing with his sword in hand. "Come then," he said, his voice carrying both challenge and anticipation.
Im's lips curled into a sinister smile. Shadows coiled around her like living entities, condensing into a thick, impenetrable darkness. "So, you've figured it out," she said, her voice laced with malice. "The Dark Devil Fruit. My power is limitless within the void of darkness itself."
