I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate-Chapter 109: Obtaining The Source

The next day.

Kaos woke up feeling refreshed. After washing up with Stussy's assistance, he enjoyed the breakfast of this world, which had quite a unique taste.

Then, he made his way to the palace.

There were many matters to handle today.

Upon arriving at the palace, the first thing he saw was the little emperor.

Holding a stack of documents and items in his hands, the little emperor was waiting outside the palace.

When the time was right, Stussy stepped out of the palace, looked at the little emperor, and said indifferently, "Alright, you may go see His Highness. But I hope you understand your current status as a prisoner."

"So when you meet His Highness later, you'd best kneel respectfully and address him properly with honorifics."

"Otherwise, even if His Highness spares your life, I wouldn't mind making it worse than death. Understand?"

Upon hearing this, the little emperor's face flushed with anger.

Even if he was no longer the emperor, he was still the former ruler.

How dare she speak to him like this?

But the next moment—

Hum!

A wave of murderous intent washed over him, making him go pale. His lips trembled, and all his courage vanished.

After all, he was just a boy.

Stussy sneered. "All those who once opposed His Highness, even if they survived, are nothing more than his dogs now. And as a dog, you should act like one. Understood?"

As she unleashed a burst of pressure, the little emperor felt a crushing weight on his shoulders, causing cold sweat to drip down his forehead.

The fear of death rose in his heart, and he hastily nodded. "I—I understand."

"Hmph, go in then."

Stussy withdrew her pressure and snorted coldly.

Kaos, as someone of noble status, didn't need to concern himself with such trivial matters.

But as His Highness' closest confidante, how could Stussy not care?

Seeing this, the little emperor hurried toward the palace.

Soon, he saw Kaos sitting upon the throne that once belonged to him.

At first, he had no intention of kneeling.

But remembering Stussy's warning and the oppressive aura she radiated, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees, bowing his head in shame.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Rise," Kaos said calmly.

Only then did the little emperor look up.

He met Kaos' gaze.

"Speak. What did you bring?" Kaos asked.

The little emperor presented the pile of documents and objects in his arms with both hands.

"As I mentioned yesterday, these are some of the materials used to craft Teigu from the palace, as well as the existing Teigu stored here."

"Oh?"

Kaos raised an eyebrow and gestured.

A CP member immediately appeared beside the little emperor, took everything from him, and handed it over to Kaos.

Kaos examined the items.

He showed little interest in the materials used to craft Teigu.

After all, those were matters for the scientific research division.

However, among the Teigu, one in particular caught Kaos' attention.

There were originally forty-eight Teigu created in this world.

Not many, but not few either.

In the original story, not all Teigu abilities were shown.

Among them—aside from the most powerful Teigu, National Defense Machine God—the rest were quite varied.

They could generally be categorized into three types:

Powerful

Specialized

Useless

Some were highly functional, like Shambhala, which allowed teleportation.

Others were immensely powerful, like Esdeath's Demon Extract, Susanoo, and General Budo's Thunder God Wrath.

Esdeath and Budo's Teigu could manipulate natural elements, a power reminiscent of Logia Devil Fruits.

In the original story, there weren't many such Teigu.

But unexpectedly, Kaos found one here in the palace.

It was a ring-shaped Teigu—one that controlled fire.

Merely sensing it, Kaos could tell its power wasn't weak.

Slightly inferior to Esdeath's Teigu, but still impressive.

It must have been crafted using materials from dangerous creatures.

Esdeath's Teigu, sourced from an immensely powerful Danger Beast, had even developed the ability to freeze time.

Comparatively, General Budo's Thunder Teigu and this fire ring Teigu were a tier below.

But this discovery made Kaos contemplate.

Even though this ring Teigu was slightly weaker, it was still comparable to Logia Devil Fruits in terms of elemental power.

If a Logia fruit user of the same element equipped it, their combat power would increase significantly.

"However, the most suitable Teigu for Logia users should be Leone's Beast Transformation Teigu."

If combined, the enhancement would be immense.

Kaos estimated that a Vice Admiral-level fighter with such a combination could reach Admiral-tier combat strength.

Even at the lowest rank within the Admiral class, that was an overwhelming leap.

After all, the gap between Vice Admiral and Admiral was enormous.

If an external item could bridge this gap, its value was immeasurable.

The key was that these Teigu could be manufactured.

"If we completely control this world, we can turn it into a farm for the World Government—one that produces Teigu materials and resources."

Kaos' eyes flickered with excitement at the thought.

This was enough proof of Teigu's future potential.

Still, he had no personal interest in this fire ring Teigu.

After toying with it briefly, he set it down.

He then looked down at the little emperor.

"You've done well. From now on, you'll stay in the palace. Of course, you won't be allowed to go anywhere. Just wait."

"In time, someone will come to take you where you need to go. Understood?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand," the little emperor nodded, lowering his head in shame.

Kaos paid him no further attention.

He simply let him go.

Afterward, Kaos picked up another document.

This one contained Teigu intelligence retrieved from the Minister's residence.

Reading through it, he couldn't help but be intrigued by the peculiar abilities of certain Teigu.

Some even reminded him of Doraemon's gadgets—except vastly inferior.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Kaos' eyes gleamed.

A voice echoed in his mind.

[You have obtained a fragment of the World's Origin.]

[You may choose one of the following rewards:]

[1: Copy and fuse a material.]

[2: Obtain a random Teigu with no side effects.]

Ignoring the rewards for now, Kaos pondered—

"Where did this origin come from?"

"The little emperor, the minister, and the Wild Hunt must count."

"Perhaps, by recruiting certain key characters from the original story, I obtained the origin?"

Kaos rubbed his chin in thought.

That seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.

After figuring it out, a smile appeared on his face.

Then, he checked the rewards.

Compared to the first world—

The rewards from this second world...

Were clearly very different.

More importantly, as Kaos examined them, he couldn't help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.
