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

Chapter 8: The Threat of Im and the Awakening of the Power of Destiny

Isaac stood on the mansion's balcony, overlooking the entire Mary Geoise. With the Five Elders' plan failing, they decided to use the deepest power of the World Government to seek help from "Im." This mysterious being rarely seen, yet his legend was known to almost everyone. Im, as the true mastermind behind the Five Elders, possessed incredible power, possibly even holding the secrets of time and space.

“Im is finally going to show himself…” Isaac muttered to himself, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Kizaru stood lazily beside Isaac, a relaxed smile on his lips: "Oh dear, young master, Lord Im is the supreme being behind this world. If he makes a move, we must be careful."

Isaac smiled slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes. He possessed the system, and the power of destiny had begun to awaken. He was confident that he could handle either the Five Elders or Im.

"System, assess Im's strength."

[Ding! According to system analysis, Im possesses the ability to control time and space, and it is estimated that his power level far exceeds that of the Five Elders. The system suggests proceeding with caution and accelerating the enhancement of your Destiny Power.]

"Indeed, he is the most powerful enemy." Isaac narrowed his eyes, pondering his next plan.

Just then, the system suddenly issued an emergency alert.

[Warning! Im's power has begun to intervene, and the surrounding space is being affected.]

Isaac instantly felt a sense of oppression in the air, as if space itself was trembling and the flow of time itself became abnormal. The sky had become covered with dark clouds, and the air grew heavier and heavier, making it incredibly difficult to breathe.

“Here we are…” Isaac said coldly.

Suddenly, a massive rift opened in the sky, from which a low, rumbling sound emanated, like a summons from another dimension. Deep within the dark rift, one could vaguely see cold, merciless eyes gazing down, eyes that seemed to look down upon mortals like gods, sending shivers down one's spine.

A blurry silhouette emerged from the gap, and time seemed to stand still, plunging the entire world into a deathly silence.

Im has finally shown up.

He possessed an ordinary form, yet he exuded an aura of power that defied description. Time and space seemed to lose their meaning before him, and even light could not illuminate his presence. Im hovered silently in the air, his icy gaze sweeping across Mary Geoise before finally settling on Isaac.

"You dare to challenge my authority." Im's voice was deep and cold, as if it came directly from the depths of time, filled with irresistible majesty.

Although Isaac felt the pressure up close, he stood ramrod straight, utterly fearless. Im, though powerful, didn't believe Isaac would lose. He possessed the system, the power of destiny, and Im was merely the final obstacle on his path to the summit.

"Im, your so-called authority has been crumbled by the corrupt old world. The Five Elders can only rely on puppet gods like you, while I am the master of the future," Isaac said coldly, his tone full of contempt for Im.

A cold glint flashed in Im's eyes. He had never seen anyone dare to confront his power so directly. As the true ruler behind the world, no one dared to challenge Im's authority. The Five Elders were merely tools for him to control the world. And now, a young Celestial Dragon heir dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

"Your arrogance will bring you destruction." Im's voice was icy. As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him distorted violently, and the rhythm of time changed instantly. Isaac felt an intense sense of oppression envelop him, as if his whole body was imprisoned in a cage of time.

"System, lift the spatial blockade!" Isaac issued the order.

[Ding! The system has successfully lifted the time lock on Im.]

Isaac's body instantly regained its freedom, and he sneered, "Im, your power is indeed great, but you cannot control my destiny."

A flicker of surprise crossed Im's eyes; he clearly hadn't expected Isaac to break free of his time-binding barrier so easily. However, Im didn't show any panic. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his face: "Interesting. You can actually resist the power of time. But you don't understand; that power far exceeds your imagination."

As soon as he finished speaking, Im's figure suddenly disappeared into the air. In an instant, he appeared in front of Isaac. With a flick of his finger, the surrounding space instantly shattered, and the point of time fracture struck Isaac like a sharp blade.

"Body of Destiny, activate," Isaac said in a low voice, as the power within him erupted dramatically.

[Ding! 'Body of Destiny' activated. The power of destiny has begun to awaken. Current level: 40%.]

Isaac's body was instantly enveloped in an invisible force, the power of "Destiny." Neither time nor space could shake his presence. Im's attack, just as it approached Isaac, was blocked by this invisible force, unable to advance any further.

"Your time manipulation has no effect on me," Isaac said calmly, his eyes filled with absolute confidence.

Im frowned slightly, a look of unprecedented seriousness appearing in his eyes. His power was virtually invincible in the world; he controlled time and space, yet the person before him could disregard his power?

Isaac didn't give Im much time to think. He raised his hand, and a powerful energy erupted from his body, rushing straight towards Im. It was the power of the "Body of Destiny," the system that granted him the ability to control the rules of the world.

“Im, I’ll show you who the real god is,” Isaac said coldly, his power transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight at Im’s chest.

A cold glint flashed in Im's eyes. He didn't back down; instead, he gave a cold laugh, and with a slight flick of his finger, time warped once more. The moment Isaac's beam of light touched Im, it seemed to be trapped in an endless time labyrinth, stretched infinitely, its speed becoming extremely slow, seemingly forever unable to reach its target.

“You still can’t touch me.” Im’s cold voice rang out again, his tone full of mockery towards Isaac.

A cold smile flashed in Isaac's eyes: "Is that so?"

He suddenly raised his hand, his fingers twitched slightly, and the flow of time instantly resumed. The beam of light broke through the barrier of time at an extremely fast speed and struck Im hard.

Im's figure jolted. Although he reacted quickly, he was still hit by the beam of light, his body swaying slightly before he steadied himself. His expression changed slightly, and for the first time, surprise appeared in his eyes.

"You...you actually managed to hurt me?" Im's voice was filled with disbelief.

“This is just the beginning,” Isaac said coldly, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. He knew that while Im’s power was formidable, it was not invincible. Once he could further awaken the power of destiny, Im’s time and space powers would no longer pose any threat to him.
