The golden staff in Enel's hand was now wrapped in lightning, like a spear of pure electricity, thrusting directly at Soi Fon.
Soi Fon's movements were relentless. Her Shunpo (Flash Step) instantly burst forth, leaving over ten afterimages in her wake! Enel was momentarily stunned. He had never encountered such a technique.
In that fraction of a second, Soi Fon left another Hōmonka (Wasp Crest) on his shoulder!
At this point, Auguro realized that Enel's speed was no match for Soi Fon's! Although the Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit) could theoretically grant near-light speed, it was practically impossible.
The reason was simple: human limits! Elementalization might allow the body to withstand the pressure of light speed, but human thought and reaction time could not control movement at that velocity with ease. Exceeding that limit meant risking his own safety, let alone successfully attacking an enemy at light speed.
From this perspective, even facing the Admiral Kizaru (Borsalino), Soi Fon would likely not be at a disadvantage!
"You bastard! How dare you leave so many stains on a God! You deserve to die!"
Infinite lightning surged across Enel's body, then rocketed into the sky.
"Mane: El Thor (God's Judgment)!"
The next second, a colossal pillar of lightning, over ten meters wide, descended from the heavens. The terrifying aura of destruction made the sky residents far away feel their hair stand on end!
"Oh no! God is furious!"
"The sky island will be destroyed!"
"Mommy, I'm scared!" The entire sky island descended into panic.
Facing this overwhelming attack, Soi Fon charged straight toward Enel!
Enel saw this and sneered.
"If you intend to take us both down, you've miscalculated! Did you think the lightning I released would harm me?"
Under Enel's control and the targeting of his Mantra (Observation Haki), the lightning pillar relentlessly chased Soi Fon. She was already right in front of Enel, clearly seeing the triumphant smirk on his face.
Soi Fon suddenly spoke softly: "Bakudō #81: Dankū (Splitting Void)!"
Instantly, a transparent barrier of spiritual energy appeared above Soi Fon. El Thor slammed directly into the spiritual shield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Electrical light raged, and massive shockwaves swept out in all directions. However, this devastating attack could not penetrate the thin barrier!
"This! How is this possible!" Enel had anticipated that Soi Fon might block the move, but he never expected her to do so with such ease!
Soi Fon ignored his disbelief. Her Shunpo speed erupted to its limit, and she stabbed her Suzumebachi toward Enel.
"How many more times will you attempt such a useless attack!" Enel was enraged, viewing Soi Fon's actions as those of a clown, lowering his own stature.
However, this time, Soi Fon was aiming for the exact spot on his shoulder where the first Hōmonka had been left!
A sudden sense of crisis surged through Enel's mind. "Mantra is telling me that if I take this hit, I will be in great danger?"
Enel was bewildered. He couldn't fathom what danger there could be from an attack that only "stained" him.
In that moment of hesitation, Enel completely lost his chance to dodge. The tip of Suzumebachi precisely struck the center of the original Hōmonka. A brand-new Hōmonka instantly blossomed, intersecting and overlapping the first to form a new octagonal pattern.
"Nigeki Kessatsu (Death in Two Steps)!"
Soi Fon coldly declared the technique's name, immediately dropping her offensive stance.
"A false god who calls himself God dares to challenge us, the true Shinigami (Soul Reapers)! You had a death wish!"
"You..." Enel tried to speak, but his face suddenly changed. The two intersecting Hōmonka began to glow with a pink light, growing larger and slowly overlapping each other.
At that moment, he realized his soul was being consumed and annihilated by the two crests. Enel tried to stop it but was utterly powerless. He could only feel his consciousness slowly fading into nothingness.
"Is this... the true power of a God?"
Finally, the two Hōmonka completely overlapped, and Enel's soul was utterly erased. His physical body was also pulverized into dust! Only the glowing Hōmonka remained in the air.
Auguro sighed inwardly. It was only because this was Enel that the battle was so easy! Normally, he won by simply crushing opponents with the overwhelming power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, giving him virtually no experience fighting equals. The two crucial moments of hesitation and his dismissive attitude toward the Hōmonka were rookie mistakes that no Marine officer would have made!
On the high seas, one must never be overconfident. You never know what trump card your opponent might pull out.
"D-dead?" Robin's eyes widened in a rare display of shock. What kind of Devil Fruit ability is that? It can kill someone with just two hits! And judging by Kuchiki Rukia and the others, their powers are all released through their swords.
Have they discovered a series of similar Devil Fruits?
No matter how Robin rationalized it, it seemed impossible.
As for Soi Fon calling herself a Shinigami, Robin just assumed it was a self-proclaimed title used to intimidate enemies. After all, according to generations of Ohara scholars, there were no true gods in this world!
Auguro didn't have time to worry about what others were thinking. He had already heard the system prompt and was ready to absorb the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
"Ding! Unowned soul absorbed. Can be exchanged for one Legendary-tier lottery ticket!"
Auguro chose to exchange it without hesitation! Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could create an Admiral-level fighter, its weaknesses to water and Seastone were too obvious. A system-summoned Shinigami was far more reliable!
"Let's go! We'll head to the temple first!"
As Enel's residence, the temple was located at the highest point of God's Island.
At the steps of the temple, Auguro's group was blocked by Enel's guards.
"This is the residence of God Enel! No one is allowed to trespass!"
"Your false god has been slain by us! Those who don't want to die needlessly, surrender immediately!" Kuchiki Rukia warned coldly.
"Impudence! God Enel is currently demonstrating his divine power on the front lines! How dare you speak such nonsense? Do you not fear death!" With that, the guards raised their rifles and turned their cannons, aiming them all at Auguro's group.
"Well, have you considered that perhaps your false god was just fighting us a moment ago?" Nami said, giggling.
The guards' faces changed, but they quickly shouted, "Impossible! God Enel is the embodiment of lightning! No one can defeat him! Capture these criminals who offend the deity!"
The guards were prepared to fire. Soi Fon snorted coldly and slightly blurred her form. The next moment, all the guards were sent flying; no one was left standing!
"There are probably more of Enel's subordinates ahead; deal with them all," Auguro waved his hand. Without Enel, the sky island had no power left to resist him!
"Yes!" Soi Fon and the others immediately vanished.
