Going up to the second floor and back to his room, Kronos smoothly closed the door behind him.
After standing silently for a while, Kronos sighed softly and raised his hand slowly.
"System, take out the item!"
As soon as Kronos finished speaking, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Item has been taken out! ]
With the sound of the system, a Devil Fruit with black and white colors appeared in Kronos' hands.
Looking at the black and white pulp, Kronos felt a little melancholic.
This Devil Fruit had been obtained from the novice gift pack when Kronos activated the system more than a month ago.
But Kronos had never eaten the fruit.
The reason wasn't because the ability of this Devil Fruit was useless.
On the contrary, the ability of this Devil Fruit is not only useful but could potentially be very powerful!
This fruit is somewhat similar to the Rubber Fruit of the world protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy.
No!
It should be said that it's more similar to Luffy's fruit in the form of a human-type Zoan, a Mythical Beast Fruit—specifically, the Sun God Nika.
The black and white fruit in Kronos's hands is called:
[Renren no Mi, Eudemons, Chaos Form!]
Fortunately, in his previous life, Kronos had a brief understanding of some mythological knowledge.
Otherwise, he might not have even known what Chaos was.
Much like Nika, the Sun God.
Chaos is also a god.
Perhaps the difference from Nika, the Sun God, is that Chaos is the true god, not the one everyone calls a god.
In ancient Greek mythology, which was circulated in Kronos's previous life on Blue Star, Chaos is the first god, the oldest god, the first primordial god born from endless time and space.
Chaos is the god of chaos, the primordial god. He is also a symbol of void, order, and darkness!
From the moment he got the fruit, Kronos hesitated to eat it.
Because even though this fruit takes the form of Chaos, it can't change the essence of a Devil Fruit.
If Kronos ate this fruit, he would inherit the typical weaknesses of Devil Fruit users, such as being vulnerable to seastone and unable to swim.
Kronos didn't want any weaknesses.
So he decided to earn prestige first. As long as the prestige reaches 100, he can [summon members] using the system.
With the help of [members], Kronos wouldn't need to eat the Devil Fruit.
But things didn't go as planned. Despite trying for more than a month, his prestige value failed to break 100.
It's been stuck at 80 for a week with no progress.
It seems everything in his body needs to undergo a transformation once he eats the fruit.
Maybe in a month, two months, or even a year or two, Kronos might earn enough prestige.
But now, it seemed he couldn't wait that long...
Those with fruit powers have weaknesses!
Don't the other fruit users live with their weaknesses?
With that in mind, Kronos picked up the black and white Devil Fruit and took a small bite.
"Crunch!"
The pulp made a crisp sound.
Kronos swallowed the pulp without chewing.
But even so, the taste of the fruit juice lingered in his mouth, making Kronos' face slightly contorted.
"Tsk! It's awful."
Although the taste was strange and unpleasant, it didn't matter!
Turning his head and looking behind him, Kronos stared silently in the direction of the counter on the first floor.
Bandits?
Increased appetite?
Just wait!
I'll make you lose your appetite!
I will keep your mouths shut forever!
With that determination, Kronos left the second floor and exited the tavern.
Before long, Kronos arrived at a quiet forest.
He had just gained the fruit's ability, and now he needed to test it.
He raised his hand, channeling the power of the fruit.
A twisted ripple appeared in the air in front of him.
Soon, the ripples faded, and everything returned to calm.
Though invisible to the naked eye, Kronos could clearly feel a cubic space in front of him that he had just created.
But very quickly, this space only lasted for 2 seconds before vanishing.
However, Kronos wasn't discouraged.
He continued to experiment with his abilities, trying to understand the power of this fruit.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes, one hour, two hours!
As Kronos continued testing the fruit's abilities, he made new progress in controlling his powers.
The forest around him was now littered with fallen trees.
These trees all shared one thing in common:
Whether large or small, thick or thin, all were cleanly severed.
And the cuts were very smooth, almost like jade.
It was clear that these trees were marked by the testing abilities of Kronos!
