Chapter 768 Cronus

A steel pillar fell from the sky on the red earth continent. The huge force contained in it made the entire Mariejoia shake, and circles of red earth surged up from the ground.

Almost all the buildings in sight were like kites in the sky, constantly swaying, and the next moment, air waves hit Skyler and Im.

The two people standing almost face to face, even with their incomparable strength and superb body balance ability, were unable to resist the impact of the air wave and were directly thrown away.

Skyler, who was in the air, saw Im suddenly raising his hand. He narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses and flicked his left hand. As the red light shone, the ghostly binding thread pulled White Fang and stabbed Im.

"Bang!"

Skyler fell heavily to the ground, and the impact even made her feel like she was going to be paralyzed. However, Skyler had experienced this kind of injury for unknown times, so she got up very quickly and looked at Im

direction.

At this time, Im's hands were strung together by White Teeth and nailed to a wall that had not completely collapsed. Im struggling hard, even though White Teeth was constantly tearing her bones and flesh.

Skyler wanted to rush towards Im, but the waves of aftershocks made her unable to move forward smoothly. At the same time, the wall that was nailed to Im also showed signs of collapse at any time.

"You don't know what you did!"

For the first time, Im showed anger, and her body struggled with increasing strength. However, the red orb in her left hand stuck tightly to White Fang, making it impossible for Im to escape.

Seeing this scene, Skyler smiled for no reason. She didn't even know why she was smiling. Maybe it was because the Ghost Binding Pearl was obviously her helper, but in Im's hands, it became a hindrance.

The short time gained by the Ghost Bead was enough for Skyler to take advantage of the gap between the bombardment of air waves and rush to Im's side. The smile on Skyler's face and the anger on Im's face were simply the same.

The best comparison picture ever.

"I'll lend you your hand."

The moment Im finally broke free from White Fang and the injuries on his hands instantly recovered, Skyler reached out and grabbed Im's left hand. The anger on Im's face turned into surprise and confusion.

I saw the eternally silent blood-red orb on the back of her left hand, now emitting a glaring red light, exactly the same as the orb in the left hand that Skyler grabbed her at this moment.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng~"

Countless white threads emerged from the blood-red orb, and under Im's surprised gaze, these threads that emerged from her "body" were pointed at her own body.

"Puff puff puff~"

"Ghost-binding nail!"

The silk thread wrapped around Skyler's sword force penetrated Im's body, and the thread that came out of Im's body was connected to the ghost binding bead on Skyler's left hand.

In an instant, threads pulling her appeared on Im's body, making her look like an exquisite puppet.

For twenty-four years, Skyler's mastery of Blade Shadow's abilities was no longer limited to one move or another, but he had a clear understanding of her abilities.

And it just so happened that Im, who was using her body, also had such an ability. The only difference was that Im couldn't use this ability, so Skyler could only say: You're welcome!

Skyler gently raised his left hand, and in an instant, the ghostly thread piercing Im's body tightened, and her body had to react to cooperate with the pull of the ghostly thread.

"Boom~"

The noble King of the World, Lord of the Void Throne, knelt down in front of Skyler. Skyler looked at Im in front of him and said with a smile:

"The feeling just now, I have to say, really makes people feel superior to others. The feeling of monitoring the whole world in an instant and being able to do whatever you want is really addictive."

"Why destroy such a perfect work?"

Im, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and looked at Skyler angrily and incomprehensively. Skyler looked up at the sky and said: "Sixteen doors, destroy one of them in exchange for a piece of information. Really?"

It's worth it.

And it is indeed a weapon that can destroy an island with one cannon. If all sixteen of them fall, I am afraid that even the Red Earth Continent will cease to exist, right?"

"Just to get this information? If you want to know, you can ask me at any time."

"No, no, no, I already know what it is. The information I'm talking about is that I have higher authority than you. I'm afraid you can't answer this question for me, so I can only find it myself."

After Skyler finished speaking, Im's face darkened, but Skyler did not pay attention, but continued: "When did you know me? Twenty-four years ago? Or, twelve years ago?

"

Im closed her mouth tightly and refused to say a word, but sometimes, silence is not safe enough. When Skyler saw that Im didn't answer, he didn't worry, but said:

"I would like to see the complete history."

As Skyler finished speaking, light and shadow suddenly intersected on the shaking red earth continent. Even the damaged steel pillar on the ground shot out rays of light towards the intersection of light and shadow.

Skyler did not look at the light and shadow in the sky, but landed on the steel pillar. Looking at the words engraved on it, Skyler also murmured: "Cronos? What an appropriate name!"

Skyler is not proficient in mythology, but there is a Sky Island Savage Enelu in the detachment who has the characteristics of a magic stick, and Skyler has unintentionally absorbed a lot of knowledge about mythology.

For example, Kronos is a god in a certain place's mythology and a god who controls time. This is consistent with the ability of this machine.

However, Skyler said that the name was appropriate not because of the power of time, but because of Chronos' deeds.

But this deed is not of Cronus, but of another god named Cronus, which is the name engraved on this machine today.

In the past, due to the similar names of the two gods and other people's misunderstandings, these two gods were often linked together. Therefore, when the god-king Cronus is mentioned, many people will think of Cronus, the father of time.

vice versa.

Over time, for a long period of time, these two gods showed signs of merging, and even now, many people do the same.

But Enelu did not. This was a master of theology. During the research process, he separated the two gods and gave them independent people and gods.

As the commander of Anilu, Skyler has also read these reports. At the same time, he has also read many versions of other theological researchers who have implicated the stories of the two gods.

For example, some theologians have said that compared to Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory who also controls time, Chronos' time is more inclined to the philosophical concept of self-denial and devouring.

At the same time, various "crimes" were also imposed on Chronos, and what Skyler thought of at this time was one of these absurd studies - Chronos' patricide.

son.

And these absurd remarks fit so well with the machine in front of me and the Im who controls it.

Over the course of immeasurable time, Im cultivated one "self" after another. In a sense, these "selves" can all be regarded as her descendants.

And how does Im treat these "descendants"? He cultivates them and devours them, just to create a more perfect machine. Such a person controls Cronus, the "God of Time" born from absurd research.

What a fit?

I just don’t know whether the ultimate creator and namer of this machine is a misunderstanding who also only has a rough knowledge of mythology, or whether he is deliberately playing tricks here.

Skyler is more inclined to the latter, because she has already guessed who the creator and final name of "Cronos" is, and at the same time, she has also thought of many other jokes.

For example, Cronus was not only a torma, he also killed his father, and the father he killed was called Uranus, the god of the sky, Uranus, or the king of heaven.

What's even more interesting is that, according to Nurkic's previous speculation, the battleship carrying these sixteen guns is the legendary Pluto battleship, and Pluto refers to Pluto.

Coincidentally, Pluto is in mythology, and the corresponding god in the mythological system of Cronus is Hades, the king of Hades, and the father of Hades is Cronus.

The Pluto battleship is just a golden battleship. Without Drake, a fruit-powered user, the performance of the golden battleship is not even as good as other warships, and it is completely unworthy of the name Pluto.

Even with Drake's control, it is not enough, unless there is a weapon like Cronus that can destroy an island with one shot. It is for this reason that the battleship has the name of Pluto.

Without Cronus as the father, Pluto as the son is nothing, at least here.

This is not over yet, Hades has a brother named Poseidon, Poseidon, the King of the Sea! In mythology, Cronus was overthrown from the throne by his own son.

Therefore, Skyler can be sure that the creator and namer of the time machine Kronos understands all this, otherwise it would not be possible for one name to have so many jokes.

After all, there is more than one god who controls time, but why should we name a god who is not the god of time but is just misunderstood as the god of time?

"Richards, you know how to play tricks, at least you know better than me."

Skyler looked at the condensed light screen with a smile on her face. She had already guessed that Cronus was created by Nurkic's son.

Vegapunk and Deborah both promised Skyler not to do any more research, and at the same time destroyed all the research materials. There is only one person in the world who owns that piece of research information, and that is Reed.

Richards.

The light screen flashed, and the picture gradually formed. A young man who was somewhat similar to Nurkic appeared on the light screen. Compared to Nurkic, this young man was much thinner.

At the same time, he clearly looks less than thirty, but he already has a lot of gray hair and a messy stubble on his face, and the place where he is is not a naval research base.

Instead, there were some dolls placed in a more shabby and ancient place, even on the table in the corner. Skyler had only seen these dolls in one place, and that was the country of Wano.

"Are you in Wano Country?"

Skyler frowned, wondering why Richards appeared in Wano. Could it be that the navy could no longer accommodate him, or that the navy no longer existed?

Looking away from the doll, Skyler saw another thing on the table. It was a calendar, with the year 1536 written on it.

"Fourteen years later? My hair is all gray before I'm twenty-two."

Skyler pursed her lips. If the navy she just guessed no longer exists, then in other words, in the "given", they should have been defeated, and after the defeat, the world government should be liquidated.

Reed Richards was born in 1515. Schuyler remembered this very clearly. After all, Richards was even named by her. By extrapolation, Richards in the picture was only 21 years old.

In Skyler's view, this is just a kid of college age, but Richards doesn't look at the face at this time, only the hair and beard, and they are no younger than Nurkic, who is now 47.

Although Nurkic was often teased by other members of the Zhanye team for his gray hair, it was only after he reached middle age that his black hair quickly faded away. When he was young, he was still a young man with thick black hair.

Moreover, Richards in the light curtain looks even thinner than Luffy two years ago, as if he was malnourished. Thinking of Nurkic's care for children like Ace and Luffy in those years, look at it again

Skyler felt uncomfortable with his son's appearance. Something serious must have happened to make this child grow up like this, right?

Skyler's eyes kept scanning the light screen, trying to capture more information, and she did see some, such as two photos in shabby frames.

One is a photo of Richards when he was five or six years old, with his parents and grandparents, and the other is a photo of Richards as a baby, in Nurkic's arms, with Deborah beside him.
