Chapter 338

The moment Lan Ran mentioned a general location, Ou Ge immediately guessed the other's position.

"Could what Mr. Lan Ran is referring to be the Phoenix Stone in the hands of the Monu Sect?"

The moment the words fell, Ou Ge realized he had misspoken.

Because Makarov had already told Lan Ran the news about the 'Great Will' fragment appearing in the Luo Nika Duchy and being taken by the Monu Sect.

Since Lan Ran already knew the situation, it was impossible for him to bring up the appearance of the 'Great Will' fragment.

Then there was only one possibility — there was a second Great Will fragment within the Luo Nika Duchy!

So, when Ou Ge spoke like that, Lan Ran shook his head and said.

"I am not referring to the one held by the Monu Sect, but another one."

"What!"

"A second 'Great Will' fragment!"

"Two Great Will fragments appearing all at once — just how many fragments are there in total!"

After hearing Lan Ran's words, everyone present was dumbfounded once again.

No one could imagine that a tiny duchy would suddenly have two fragments appear at once — what on earth had happened inside that duchy?

If every time an otherworld organization invaded a world, they only obtained one fragment.

Then excluding the incident where the Marine Admiral's invasion failed, the previous Akatsuki organization's theft of Dragon's Tears, the incident of the World Government's Five Elder Stars appearing in the Gas Tree Sea, plus the Blackbeard incident, and now the Luo Nika Kingdom incident — at least five fragments have already appeared!

Just then, Lan Ran spoke again: "I think you may have misunderstood. Rather than saying fragments appeared, it would be more accurate to say they descended."

"Descended? What do you mean?"

"Could it be that the fragments actually fell from the sky?"

Hearing these words, everyone was completely baffled, unable to grasp the meaning of Lan Ran's words at all.

If it appeared, then it appeared — why say it descended?

Seeing the doubtful looks on everyone's faces, Lan Ran explained again.

"That's right, it's pretty much what you said."

"Ah!"

The instant Lan Ran nodded and spoke, everyone present cried out in shock.

Even Makarov, hearing it, nearly cried out as well.

Only Lan Ran could come out with such astonishing words.

If anyone else had said it, he would probably have been taken for a madman.

"It seems you still don't understand. In fact, the 'Great Will' fragment in the Monu Sect's hands is somewhat special."

"Every 'Great Will' fragment is different — some become living creatures, some become a cloud, others transform into a magic crystal…"

"The 'Great Will' fragment in the Monu Sect's hands is a Yin-Yang Stone. Once you obtain one and activate its power, the other fragment will fly over on its own."

"And as you can imagine, each 'Great Will' fragment represents another world. Forcibly activating one stone will cause the other stone to activate as well, and at that time…"

Although he did not say it outright, the meaning in Lan Ran's words was already made perfectly clear.

Everyone present shuddered; turning to look at one another, they could clearly see the deep shock in each other's eyes.

But even though they still had their suspicions, Makarov beside them could not help but step forward and voice the guess on everyone's mind.

"You mean… another world will descend upon this world?"

"Mm." Lan Ran nodded, confirming Makarov's guess.

"The times have already changed. Although it has come somewhat abruptly, the overlap of worlds can no longer be avoided."

"The reason we came this morning is to tell you — evacuate the people in that area as soon as possible. In ten days, a new otherworld will begin to overlap with this world."

It had to be said, the news Lan Ran brought was more shocking than the last, to the point that everyone present had built up some resistance.

But even so, upon hearing the news that another world was about to overlap, they could not help but feel a strong surge of shock in their hearts.

Although they already knew the overlap of otherworld fragments could no longer be avoided, that did not mean they were prepared to accept the overlap of another world.

"Th-this… how is this possible!" Lucy said in a trembling voice.

"Didn't Blackbeard and the others also seize a 'Great Will' fragment before? Why didn't it trigger an otherworld overlap?"

Before Lan Ran could continue explaining, Ichimaru Gin, who rarely spoke, stepped in to explain.

"First, this 'Great Will' fragment is special. Second, although they already had the fragment in their hands, they did not possess the method to use it."

"And the Monu Sect has existed for over a thousand years, and it itself seems to be connected to the Ancient War, so…"

"Enough with the nonsense."

An impatient voice cut off Ichimaru Gin's next words, and Hu Zi, with a head of white hair, stepped forward and said.

"What's there to ask about this? In another ten days when the otherworld descends, won't the truth come out on its own!"

Seeing this, upon hearing Bai Fa's interruption, Makarov and the others were already mostly convinced.

Just as Bai Fa said, all the results would be seen in just ten more days of waiting,

and after the war to another world, the current Pingyi Society and even the Magic World had all suffered heavy blows.

Moreover, with strength as great as theirs, there was no need to waste so much time explaining things to them bit by bit — this could be seen from Bai Fa's reaction.

Thinking of this, Makarov and Ou Ge exchanged a glance, and after a brief exchange, Ou Ge stepped forward.

"Then, is there anything our Pingyi Society can help with?"
