This spider web covered an extremely wide area, not only possessing powerful physical restraint and energy isolation effects, but also containing a bizarre mental pollution that slowed thought and eroded will!
He tried to use this final desperate counterattack to block Shanks's advance, entangle his movements, and even directly corrode and annihilate him within this death trap of dark energy and rule-based spider webs!
However—
As one wanes, the other waxes!
Having lost nearly half of his limbs, Satan Saint's immense body's mobility and combat balance were already greatly compromised. Whether it was evasive movement, or the efficiency of power transmission and energy convergence, it was far from before!
Even more critically, each of Shanks's slashes, imbued with the ultimate Conqueror's Haki will, seemed to possess a natural suppression, Cracking, and... 'disapproval' towards the rule power that Satan Saint relied on, which was grafted from the national treasure!
That dark red Haki seemed to represent a higher, purer 'rule' itself — the rule of human will, freedom, and defiance!
When it collided with Satan Saint's twisted, grafted, and shackled 'Divine Authority,' it was able to directly disintegrate, neutralize, and even temporarily 'negate' part of its effectiveness, like a hot knife through butter!
"Whoosh!"
A dark red sword light precisely shattered a ball of black energy, and the sword light's momentum remained undiminished, leaving a deep white mark on one of Satan Saint's legs!
"Clang!"
Another sword aura cleaved through the encompassing dark purple rule-based spider web. The power that could erode one's will melted like ice and snow the instant it came into contact with Conqueror's Haki!
"Boom—!!!"
Shanks's figure appeared like a phantom on Satan Saint's flank. gryphon, carrying a will that tore through everything, fiercely slashed at the relatively weaker joint connecting his carapace!
A violent explosion and the sound of carapace shattering rang out simultaneously. Satan Saint's massive body shook violently once more, letting out a painful shriek!
Shanks's offensive was like an unending storm, continuous, precise, and ruthless!
Each of his swords no longer sought absolute destructive power, but precisely struck at the critical nodes and weak points of Satan Saint's power circulation, energy convergence, and rule connections!
Every hit was not just physical damage, but an impact, interference, and weakening of the 'immortal' rule system that Satan Saint relied on for survival!
Each strike made the 'god's' body let out an even more shrill, more despairing wail!
"Get lost! You blasphemer!!"
Satan Saint's roar, which began with furious majesty, gradually became tinged with an undisguised panic and exasperation! His counterattacks began to lose their coherence, his energy condensation became sluggish, and his use of rules showed unwarranted flaws!
Despair and rage, like the most potent catalysts, were dismantling the calm and divine facade he had built over eight hundred years!
And the opening, it quietly revealed itself in the cracks of this despair and rage!
This was the moment!
Shanks, who had maintained high-speed movement and fierce attacks, suddenly burst forth with terrifying brilliance in his eyes, like the birth of a star!
All his seemingly chaotic attacks before seemed to have been merely groundwork, to pressure, to wait for this decisive moment!
His Conqueror's Haki, which had long been poised and compressed to its limit, perfectly and unreservedly merged with his lifelong swordsmanship cultivation and his firm belief in protecting his companions and the future of the world at this moment!
