One Piece: The Unrivaled Dragon Man: I am God's Agent!

Chapter 9: The Evolution of the Power of Destiny, Im's Deadly Counterattack

Dark clouds filled the sky, and a fierce wind swept across Mary Geoise. Im's figure hovered in mid-air, the surrounding time and space constantly distorting. He slowly raised his hand, clutching the chest where Isaac had struck him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"He actually managed to hurt me?" For the first time, Im's heart wavered. As someone who controlled time and space, he had never encountered such a powerful threat.

However, Im did not show much panic. Instead, he looked coldly at Isaac and said in a low voice, "You are indeed not simple, Isaac? Saint."

Isaac stood opposite him, his eyes flashing like lightning. The "Chosen Body" within him had awakened to a higher level. He knew that he now possessed enough power to challenge Im, and he had found his chance to defeat him.

"Your time and space powers are indeed powerful, but they are useless to me now." Isaac sneered, the power of the Destiny Body surging within him, the system constantly providing him with prompts for power evolution.

[Ding! The power of destiny has increased to 45%, further enhancing the control over the world's rules. The resistance of the Destiny Body has also increased, currently granting immunity to time and space distortions.]

Isaac's power was steadily rising, as if merging with the rules of the entire world. At this moment, he could clearly perceive the flow of time and the changes in space. This feeling gave Isaac a clearer grasp on his destiny than ever before.

Im's eyes gradually turned cold. He clearly realized that Isaac's power was no longer something that a simple Celestial Dragon successor could possess.

"You still cannot comprehend true power." Im's voice was icy cold. The next second, his figure vanished into thin air as if he had never existed. Time in the air twisted eerily once more, as if the entire space had been torn apart by countless parallel timelines, forming a spatial rift.

Isaac's gaze sharpened, and the rapid flow of time was altered once again; Im's power had entered an even more terrifying realm.

“Spatial rift?” Isaac quickly analyzed the surrounding situation. He was trapped by Im in multiple overlapping spatial rifts, where the rhythms of time in each space were intertwined, as if imprisoning him in an infinite loop.

“Isaac, I can make you unable to escape for eternity in countless spaces and times.” Im’s voice echoed from all directions, as if he had disappeared into space.

"Trying to trap me? Dream on!" A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes, and the power of destiny within him erupted once more. He knew that this was not just a contest of strength, but also a battle for control over the rules of the world.

"System, dispel the spatial rift!" Isaac decisively ordered.

[Ding! The system is analyzing the spatial fault in Im...]

[Analysis successful. The current fault is an overlap of high-dimensional spaces; space is being reconstructed...]

As the system operated, Isaac sensed changes in the surrounding space. The broken timelines were gradually straightened out, and the torn spatial rifts were being repaired.

“Your spatial rules are ineffective against me, Im,” Isaac said with a cold laugh. The power of destiny granted him absolute authority over the rules, and he could easily break through Im’s spatial power.

Im reappeared, a hint of anger in his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered resistance while manipulating time and space, and the source of that resistance was none other than the young Celestial Dragon before him.

"You dare to challenge the master of time?" Im sneered, flicked his finger, and the surrounding space twisted again. This time, he directly shattered all timelines, plunging the entire space into endless chaos.

Time began to flow backward, and the surrounding buildings were restored to their original intact state in a few short moments. Then, time accelerated again, and the buildings collapsed and shattered once more, as if the whole world had been caught in a vortex of time.

Isaac was surprised, but he remained calm. Im's power was indeed terrifying; he could manipulate time and space, even plunging the world into an endless cycle. But Isaac knew he possessed the power to shatter all of this.

"Power of destiny, evolve!" Isaac commanded loudly, and the power within him surged through his entire body. His body began to emit a dazzling light, as if he had merged with the rules of the entire world.

[Ding! The power of destiny has increased to 50%. Your ability to control the rules of the world has been enhanced, and you have begun to resist the laws of time loops.]

As the system notification sounded, Isaac's figure gradually blurred in the light. At the same time, he waved his hand gently, and the flow of time around him was instantly frozen, and the spaces that were trapped in the cycle of reincarnation gradually returned to normal.

Im's gaze turned icy cold as he realized that Isaac's power had reached a point where he could rival Isaac's.

"You think you can control time?" Im's tone was resolute. He flicked his finger again, and time accelerated backward once more. This time, he directly attempted to completely erase Isaac from the timeline.

But an invisible barrier appeared around Isaac's body, an absolute protective force bestowed upon him by the "Body of Destiny," which the power of time could not touch him in the slightest.

“Im, your laws of time have no effect on me,” Isaac said calmly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “You are nothing but an old god of this world, and I will replace you and become the new ruler of this world.”

Im's eyes finally revealed surprise and anger. He had never encountered such a powerful opponent before, and now, the uncontrollable power within Isaac was growing rapidly.

"You're too arrogant, Isaac." Im roared, his figure vanishing instantly and reappearing beside Isaac. His palm struck directly at the back of Isaac's neck, and the air seemed to vibrate violently, almost causing the entire space to collapse.

Isaac smiled slightly. He didn't retreat, but simply blocked Im's attack with a light touch. With a wave of his hand, a powerful burst of energy erupted, and Im's body was suddenly forced back several steps.

"The power of destiny is no longer a force you can easily contend with." Isaac's voice was icy cold. The power within him had awakened to a new level, and even a being like Im could no longer easily suppress him.

Im steadied himself in mid-air, his face turning grim. This attack had not only failed to defeat Isaac, but had also shown him Isaac's power. He realized that he needed to use even greater strength to defeat this enemy.

However, Isaac didn't give him much time to think. He raised his hand again, and the power of destiny transformed into a beam of light, shooting straight towards Im.

“Im, today is your end.” Isaac’s voice was full of absolute confidence.

A flash of anger appeared in Im's eyes. He rapidly mobilized the power within his body, and time and space were distorted once again. This time, Isaac's power completely surpassed his rules.

The beam of light struck Im hard, the immense impact sending him flying, and the entire space trembled violently from the force.

After his body was rapidly retreating in mid-air, Im's face turned extremely gloomy, clearly not expecting to be in such a sorry state.
