What made this guy help humanity with all his might from the start?
Was it to break his own seal?
Then what caused her to turn against them later?
It should also be for the seal.
"If you help me like this and you still can't let me out, then what's the point of keeping you around?"
This should have been her thought at the time.
Of course, it's also possible she wanted to use the war to perform some kind of ritual, aiming to break the seal with the power of the ritual.
In Kōta's opinion, although this world possessed special powers at the time, there was nothing that Imu would covet. This could be seen from her attitude of helping humanity conquer the world and then abandoning it.
She didn't care what happened to this world; she only cared about herself.
As for why the will of D and the Nika Fruit were sealed, it was probably to avoid being disturbed!
Since she couldn't get out, it made sense to create an environment that made her comfortable.
As for how humanity or the world fared, it had nothing to do with her.
She could help the World Government clear out some weaklings as a favor, but she would never show herself.
Because in this world, she was alone, so alone that everyone she saw, except herself, was like an ant.
Even Joy Boy, who had once awakened the Nika form, was just a slightly larger ant, not even qualified to truly stand before her.
He could only fight against her avatars.
Of course, all of this was Kōta's speculation. To know the truth, he had to go to Mary Geoise and see for himself what kind of being Imu truly was.
The scene cut off here, clearly this was something the Giant race, who had escaped Mary Geoise at the time, had later rebuilt outside the true temple.
Just as Fabul said, this was all the history there was, and many details were omitted.
For example, what was the technology like at the time, how far had the giantification experiment progressed, and who were the members of the D clan...
Kōta did not see Joy Boy again above. The history after the defeated army left the Red Line continent was not recorded here at all.
Therefore, he didn't know what this guy had left behind in Laugh Tale.
He also didn't know if the giants dared not go out to sea because they feared Imu, the Ancient Weapon, or humanity.
But it was likely a combination of factors!
After all, they were indeed on the losing side, and a crushing defeat at that.
As for why Wano Country chose to close its borders, it was probably a form of self-discipline as a loser.
Compared to other special races that were annihilated, wasn't it their greatest fortune to be allowed to live?
As for venturing out to sea...
Wouldn't that be courting death?
With the existence of the Ancient Weapon and the extraterrestrial being Imu, their safest bet was to stay hidden.
They clearly knew that Imu couldn't come out, but that didn't mean the Ancient Weapon controlled by Imu couldn't!
The destructive power of the Ancient Weapon was the true reason for their downfall.
Otherwise, if Imu couldn't come out and was confined to the Red Line continent, the seas beyond the Red Line continent should have been theirs to rule. But it was precisely because of the existence of the Ancient Weapon that they were so thoroughly defeated.
They were even forced to hide, lest they be attacked by the Ancient Weapon.
However, they clearly thought too much. Imu didn't even consider them important. After clearing out the remnants of special races on the Red Line continent, she paid them no further attention.
Kōta could understand this. After all, Imu and they were creatures from different dimensions.
It was like the Other Shore. If it weren't for Kōta, they would never have appeared before Ahua and the others. Even Kuina, after leaving the Other Shore's lair, never saw the Other Shore again.
This ingrained arrogance was like humans facing ants crawling on the ground, looking down from above, utterly cold and merciless.
If Imu was also a divine being, then she would be like the Other Shore.
So, Kōta could understand.
But understanding was one thing, and Kōta would not allow her to remain on the Red Line continent, in this world.
One's position dictates one's thoughts, whether she was good or evil.
What Kōta saw was her coldly massacring cities and destroying nations, he saw the pathetic arrogance of the Celestial Dragons, he saw the suffering of the common people, and more importantly, he saw the imminent dawn of a new era.
Therefore, she had to die. Only when she died would this world move in a better direction. Only when she died would the future of history lead to a true dawn.
"Your Majesty Fabul, why is there no record after this?"
Just then, Robin's question interrupted the thoughts swirling in Kōta's mind.
He turned his head, and together with Kuina, looked at Fabul standing by the door.
"The history after this, as you can see, after the giants' crushing defeat, they relocated here and...
He paused, looking at the murals on the wall, and continued, "They've been holed up here, never going out for hundreds of years. Only some of the lower-ranking giants are allowed to go to sea, while the royal family members of the Cloud City are restricted to this island, up to this day."
"Up to this day?"
Robin lowered her head and pondered.
With a little thought, she realized why.
"Are they afraid of being annihilated by Imu and the World Government?"
Although it was difficult to say, Fabul nodded, "Yes! You could say that."
"Although the Giant race still possesses some strength, and in terms of the seas alone, they could be considered the strongest nation, the strongest race in the world, this does not include the Red Line continent."
"I did not experience that war, but from history, I can feel Imu's power. To avoid annihilation, they could only stay here."
He said, tilting his head to glance at the door at the innermost part of the temple, the door to the true temple. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Kōta and asked, "Mr. Kōta, may I ask you a favor?"
"Yes," Kōta nodded gently.
In fact, from Fabul's frequent glances at the door at the very back of the temple, Kōta already knew the answer.
The awakenings here were indeed different from Mo Luo's awakening.
Fabul was also an awakened being, but even face-to-face, he couldn't discover the special pattern on his forehead. He just thought it was mysterious, but he couldn't say how it was mysterious.
Mo Luo, on the other hand, recognized the difference in the pattern on Kōta's forehead at first glance and immediately detected the presence of the Other Shore's true form.
Thinking back, Mo Luo's awakening seemed to be innate, not awakened by postnatal stimulation, which explained the huge difference between them.
According to the Other Shore, Mo Luo's future would quickly reach the peak of humanity.
In contrast, even now, Kōta hadn't sensed the aura of humanity's peak from Fabul. Instead, there was a power within him that he could borrow, allowing him to reach the peak.
That was the difference!
After all, one relied on external means, while the other was endowed with talent. Although both borrowed the power of others, one had trained themselves, while the other had obtained it through inheritance.
