Im's words did not make Li Chungang and the others retreat.
On the contrary, Im's words only ignited their strong desire to defeat Im.
If Benedict and Im were god-like beings,
then they would become god-slayers.
They could not raise their swords against Benedict; that was a matter of loyalty.
But if it were Im, then he was an enemy.
"Wan Jian Gui Zong!"
Li Chungang roared, unleashing the ultimate killing move of the Imperial Sword Art. In an instant, all weapons on the battlefield, except for a few under control, obeyed Li Chungang's summons. Under his control, they flew to his side and merged with the sword in his hand in terms of aura.
Gathering the power of thousands into a single sword.
"Wan Jian Chuan Xin!"
Sakata Gintoki, wielding Dojako, had sharp and sinister eyes. Thousands of sword energies coiled like dragons, forming a giant, constantly moving sword.
One strike fell, unleashing a rain of thousands of sword energies.
Within this sword rain, each sword energy could kill an S-class expert.
"Super Gravity Blade, Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain!"
Fujitora Issho flew to an even higher altitude, accumulating power, and slashed down with his blade. It was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, with an unstoppable momentum.
As if the sky was collapsing.
"Dark Night Shadow Spear!"
Jing Ke charged up. The shadow transformed into a black spear, three meters and three, with black lightning flashing around it. This was a supplementary power that manifested when Conqueror's Haki was pushed to its limit.
The might of this spear could eliminate an S+-class expert and even heavily injure an SS-class expert.
"Gale Void Slash!" Yasuo gripped his sword, adopting a drawing stance, moving like a spirit of the wind, constantly attacking.
"Super Atomic Slash!" Shenfeng roared, his muscles swelling by a circle, unleashing terrifying energy. After the others attacked, he also launched his assault.
...
One by one, SS-class super experts unleashed their ultimate killing moves, bombarding incessantly.
Im's expression became more solemn, and he continuously waved his hands to counterattack.
Rrrripp!
The water curtain was shattered.
The water whip broke.
His body, which had a stronger defensive power than the giants, was also wounded.
The battle rapidly progressed as seconds ticked by.
The center of the battle was continuously bombarded by waves of powerful energy slashes.
The immense energy fluctuations swept across the entire Future Kingdom.
The artificial Devil Fruits nearby were instantly annihilated by these energy fluctuations, without even a chance to resist.
In the middle of the battlefield, Im was subjected to a barrage of ultimate killing moves.
This made Vegapunk, observing from outside the battlefield, feel a great sense of alarm.
If he hadn't been standing beside Benedict, with immense power blocking most of the surging aura, he would have been blown away, or even stunned.
Benedict's gaze was fixed on the battlefield.
The attacks of Li Chungang and the others were effective, and their killing moves continued.
If it were him, he would also be in a sorry state.
Similarly, Benedict was very satisfied with the progress of Li Chungang and the others.
Currently, the attacks from Li Chungang and the others were causing Im some discomfort.
Because he was injured.
In hundreds of years, besides Benedict, this was the second time he had been injured, and it was caused by Li Chungang and the others.
This outcome made Im appear disheveled and extremely angry.
He once again grasped the water whip and launched a fierce attack towards Im.
"Lightning Emperor Summon!"
Enel also joined the battlefield.
He was like a Super Saiyan, unleashing unprecedented power.
Enel, in his Lightning Emperor form, was a hundred meters tall.
Each punch he threw carried terrifying lightning power.
"Feather Blade Storm!"
Daitengu Seifu attacked with a grave expression, unleashing unprecedented power, blocking Im and saving Fujitora Issho, who was about to be heavily wounded.
"Fei Long Zai Tian!"
"Tian Xiang Zhi Long!"
"Mo Shen Tian Jiang!"
"Shen Long Bai Wei"
...
Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Meng Zhangfei, and other super experts, after taking Senzu Beans, rejoined the encirclement.
In an instant, the number of super experts surrounding Im reached twenty.
The remaining super experts launched continuous attacks on the artificial Devil Fruits, preventing them from interfering with Li Chungang and the others' battle.
Vegapunk was incredibly shocked, looking at Li Chungang and the others encircling Im, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such power that surpasses limits is truly terrifying."
"Marshal Benedict, how did you achieve this?"
"Before Roger died, I traveled the world and collected a vast amount of data."
"As far as I know about human limits, Rocks was the first person, followed by Whitebeard and Roger."
"If we include the unknown Five Elders who have lived for hundreds of years, then the eight people here are the limits of humanity."
"But even such limits, according to data analysis, are only slightly stronger than these artificial Devil Fruits."
"Yet now, Whitebeard has surpassed the limits of humanity."
"Even that kid who wields electricity has done so."
In Vegapunk's eyes now, the Xuanwu Navy held more secrets and was more worthy of research.
Rather than watching a battle,
he was observing the changes and comparisons of various data.
With the Brain-Brain Fruit, his brain was running at full speed, calculating everything.
Benedict heard this and looked at Vegapunk, smiling, "Human limits?"
"Are you referring to the extraordinary physique?"
"Or the divine physique?"
Upon hearing the two special phrases, Vegapunk immediately discovered a new continent and said, "Extraordinary physique? Divine physique?"
"How are these defined?"
Vegapunk was filled with curiosity about these two special physiques.
He perked up his ears, stopped watching the battlefield, and focused intently on Benedict.
Benedict did not hide anything.
He looked at Whitebeard and said, "Whitebeard's current strength is immense. He is a mortal who is infinitely close to an extraordinary physique, but ultimately he is still a mortal, meaning he has reached the mortal limit."
"Therefore, what you see now, the person hailed as the strongest below Rocks on the seas, even with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the power he unleashes is only slightly stronger than an artificial Devil Fruit."
"And because of this, Whitebeard is now pitiful; he has become Im's breakthrough point to break the encirclement."
Vegapunk listened to Benedict's words and looked at the battlefield again.
After a moment of analysis, Vegapunk was astonished to find that it was exactly as Benedict had said.
"Does that kid possess an extraordinary physique?"
With the comparison, the intelligent Vegapunk understood.
"Then Im, who is being besieged, possesses a divine physique?"
Benedict chuckled and said, "You can understand it that way."
"If we were to classify human strength and potential into grades."
"An ordinary Admiral is S-class, based on attack power, defense power, mental strength, speed, self-healing ability, potential, etc., all being S-class."
"Then the former Garp was S+-class. He alone could defeat two or even three S-class Admirals. Thus, his various stats were S+-class, or even some had SS-class."
"This is still within the scope of human limits."
"In other words, S+-class is the limit of humanity."
"Surpassing the limit means that all stats will reach SS-class."
"This is an extraordinary person."
"As for the divine physique, it is a more powerful existence where all stats reach SSS-class."
"For example, Im!"
"For example, me!"
