In truth, if it were anyone else talking about destroying Skypiea, Gan Fall might not have been too concerned. However, the person planning to do this now was Enel, and Gan Fall knew all too well that Enel had the power to make it happen. That's why he was so utterly terrified!
Uchiha Madara, seeing Gan Fall's pale, horrified expression, couldn't help but sneer in disdain. "What are you afraid of? With us here, what kind of storm can he possibly stir up?"
With that, his figure flickered, and he dashed after Enel.
Hashirama Senju quickly dispersed his Wooden Golem and swiftly followed.
Kuzan, without hesitation, also gave chase.
Naturally, Gan Fall couldn't just stand by and watch, so he immediately mounted Pierre and flew after them.
Finally, only Lin Xuan and Master Roshi remained on the ground.
"Hey, kid, aren't we going up?" Master Roshi asked, puzzled as he saw Lin Xuan standing still.
Lin Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. "We're going too!"
However, as he and Master Roshi began climbing the giant vine, Lin Xuan's expression turned contemplative.
Noticing this, Master Roshi couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xuan replied, "I'm wondering whether we should actually stop Enel."
Hearing this, Master Roshi was so furious his beard practically stood on end. "What kind of nonsense is that? If we don't stop him, are we just going to let him destroy this island and kill millions of people?!"
Lin Xuan shook his head. "That's not what I mean. I'm just thinking—what if we let him unleash that apocalyptic-level attack, but prevent it from harming Skypiea? Maybe even use it to help me train?"
Hearing this, Master Roshi was so shocked that the sunglasses he'd somehow procured fell right off his face.
Although he didn't yet know what kind of ultimate move Enel was preparing, based on the terrifying techniques he'd already witnessed, he could easily imagine that Enel's next attack would be something extraordinary.
Combined with Lin Xuan and Gan Fall's reactions, Master Roshi could also guess that Enel might truly have the power to destroy the entire island.
And yet, Lin Xuan actually wanted to harness the energy capable of annihilating Skypiea… for training?!
"Have you lost your mind?!" Master Roshi exclaimed.
Lin Xuan didn't respond. Instead, he quickly began communicating with the system in his mind.
In truth, given his vast knowledge of multiple dimensional worlds, he knew that using lightning energy for cultivation was entirely feasible—though undeniably risky.
Thus, he now needed the system's help to mitigate those dangers.
The system quickly offered a suggestion: "Host, I recommend purchasing the Thunder Spirit Heavenly Talisman!"
Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Thunder Spirit Heavenly Talisman? What's that?"
The system explained, "It originates from a dimension called The Legend of the Talisman God. It can absorb all lightning energy and convert it to unleash thunder-based talisman techniques. Of course, it can also be used to temper the body!"
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. "Oh, something from The Legend of the Talisman God world! Let me check!"
The Legend of the Talisman God was a novel about a world where talisman-based civilization had reached its peak. Lin Xuan happened to have read it before crossing over, and now he was actually encountering an item from that world.
He immediately searched for it in the reputation store, only to nearly choke when he saw the price.
50 million reputation points!
Coincidentally, he noticed that his current balance was just about to reach 50 million.
Lin Xuan said with a wry smile, "System, you're not trying to scam me, are you?"
The system replied, "Host, does your conscience not ache when you say that?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
Fine, he had to admit—the Thunder Spirit Heavenly Talisman was worth the price.
After all, it was one of the Nine Heavenly Talismans from The Legend of the Talisman God world, rumored to be one of the origins of that world's talisman civilization, possessing immense power.
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan even felt that 50 million reputation points was somewhat of a bargain.
Looking further at the Thunder Spirit Heavenly Talisman's description, it was indeed perfectly suited for his needs. Moreover, it wasn't just a one-time use item—it had growth potential. If nurtured properly, it could even give birth to a world of thunder and lightning, making it useful indefinitely!
With that in mind, he gritted his teeth and bought it.
Instantly, his reputation points were nearly wiped out, replaced by a mysterious black card appearing in his hand.
The black card was covered in intricate lightning patterns, and just holding it gave him a faint tingling sensation.
Lin Xuan immediately crushed it. In an instant, a bolt of lightning shot into his brow, leaving behind a faint lightning mark. Upon closer inspection, this mark was actually composed of countless tiny talisman scripts!
As soon as he fused with the Heavenly Talisman, he immediately sensed that the free-floating lightning energy in the world seemed to be under his control!
This was the power of the Thunder Spirit Heavenly Talisman!
Lin Xuan even wondered if his mastery over lightning now surpassed Enel's.
Only one way to find out!
A smirk curled on his lips as he suddenly accelerated, charging straight up the giant vine!
"Hey, kid, wait for me!"
Master Roshi, who had been trying to figure out how to dissuade him, was startled by his sudden burst of speed and hurriedly followed.
When they reached the top of the clouds, they saw Enel standing atop a massive ship—the Ark Maxim!
At this moment, Enel was furiously channeling lightning energy into the ship.
Under the surge of his power, the Ark Maxim lit up, and terrifying storm clouds began gathering in all directions, enveloping not just Upper Yard but the entire White-White Sea beyond.
To all the inhabitants of Skypiea, the sky above the island had instantly turned pitch-black. Thick clouds swirled, with terrifying bolts of lightning writhing and roaring within, radiating an aura of annihilation that filled everyone with dread.
Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju, Kuzan, and Gan Fall could no longer hold back—they were ready to strike Enel down.
They didn't know exactly what Enel was planning, but taking him out first was definitely the right move!
However, just as they were about to act, they suddenly heard Lin Xuan speak:
"Don't move. Let me handle him."
