--- Chapter 328 ---
Robin blinked and stared at Huo Yuhao with a surprised look because the feeling of ascension was very different than she expected.
At first, it was suffocating because Robin must fuse with Divine Lotus Soul Flower and Mahayana Flower Demoness, but then the sense of comfort washed her entire being.
Of course, a realization hit Robin hard.
If reaching the 2nd Class God Realm allowed Robin to possess this much authority of dimension, she wondered how powerful Huo Yuhao was.
Huo Yuhao always mysteriously shows himself. Even though many have witnessed his power when fighting at Draconic Deus's last war, Robin believed he was still holding back.
But Robin has a more frightening guess.
She looked up to Huo Yuhao emotionally, 'What if Master Yuhao is still growing to this very moment? He kept evolving and becoming stronger, leaving others in a ditch.'
'It must be lonely to be alone at the top...'
If Huo Yuhao knew what Robin was thinking, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. Her ability to read and analyze things is too good.
Robin suddenly stood up and hugged Huo Yuhao, clutching his back tightly.
"Robin?" Huo Yuhao was confused.
"Thank you, Master," Robin uttered with utter gratefulness.
"Without you, I might die a long ago..."
"From now on, I, Nico Robin, will do my best to support you, even if it is a small matter."
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Silly girl. Seeing you like this makes me feel like a scumbag."
"Are you admitting that you think of me as your woman, too?" Robin's eyes glimmered with hope.
"About that..." Huo Yuhao raised his hand as if he was getting caught red-handed, which caused Robin to giggle.
Kuina frowned, "Can you two stop flirting? It doesn't feel nice when you're the third wheel."
"My bad, Kuina." Robin stopped hugging Huo Yuhao and winked at Kuina playfully.
Strictly speaking, Kuina spends time with Huo Yuhao longer than Robin, but her status as a disciple prevents Huo Yuhao from developing feelings for her.
To Huo Yuhao, Kuina is still a foolish lass of a disciple.
He has yet to see her as a woman.
On the other hand, it was clear that Kuina had feelings for Huo Yuhao.
So, it was 'normal' for Kuina to be jealous of Robin.
Of course, Kuina would soon learn that Huo Yuhao has more women than her whole fingers combined.
Robin can't wait to see Kuina's expression when she sees goddesses in the Dragon Nest. Her little jaw would probably drop to the ground.
"They are here. Robin, meet Qiu'er and Raikou. They must have missed you a lot." Huo Yuhao stretched his right arm because he was swinging a heavy broadsword too excitedly earlier.
"I will meditate for a moment."
"Kuina, stay."
"Okay, Master." Robin smiled and exited the origami boat. She couldn't wait to see Raikou.
As Robin left, Kuina stayed in her position and waited for Huo Yuhao to say something.
"Did I startle you earlier?" Huo Yuhao asked while sitting down.
Kuina's body froze, "I..."
"Don't try to hide it. Being frightened is alright when you have never seen that side of me. I was angry, but that doesn't cloud my judgment." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, asking Kuina to come closer.
"So, are you afraid earlier?"
Kuina walked to Huo Yuhao with a flustered expression, "I'm a little afraid, just a little."
Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and patted Kuina's head, "That's good."
"Without fear, you wouldn't develop your courage."
"Without fear, you wouldn't overcome your challenges."
"But next time, don't let your fear consume you. Your enemy would abuse that weakness in a battle."
"Do you understand?"
"Mm." Kuina nodded, enjoying Huo Yuhao's head pats.
After calming Kuina's heart, Huo Yuhao gifted her an advanced book about merging three types of Haki into his version of Divine Might.
Kuina has learned Observation and Armament Haki in the Stasis Timeline, mastering them to a certain degree. She also awakened Conqueror's Haki when fighting a strong Phantom.
Even though swordsmanship is 'mainly' focused on physical aspects, Kuina also must learn to use her Mental Power and Heart to grasp a higher realm of mastery.
Kuina has already developed a Sword Intent, but it is still lacking. Huo Yuhao hoped she could merge her three Haki into Divine Might and develop Sword Heart and Domain within their time in this timeline.
Soon, the only person on the boat was Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, flushing all his distractions.
When beating the shit out of Olvia Olga, Huo Yuhao's rage is linked to something in his inventory. He didn't have to guess because he knew what exactly it was.
"Evo."
[Yes, the Primeval Wave White Tiger's Will is enhancing your madness earlier]
[Thankfully, you didn't go full berserk and destroy the world]
Huo Yuhao sighed, "Primeval Devil Fruit is something else, huh?"
"Even when I didn't eat it, the will could affect me."
"This thing is a little too terrifying."
[That's true]
[However, this also means the Primeval Wave White Tiger deserves its name and position]
[Host, you won't consume the Primeval Devil Fruit now, right?]
[If yes, I recommend you accelerate Tree of Knowledge's growth and make an Epiphany Pills with Alpha Memory Leaves first]
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, "Do you really think I'm that impulsive, Evo?"
[No. You're not impulsive at all]
"..." Huo Yuhao. Why did you sound sarcastic?
However, Evo is actually telling the truth.
No one knows Huo Yuhao better than Evo.
Evo has watched Huo Yuhao grow steadily in sickness and loneliness.
The assassin-reborn boy has grown into a God many couldn't even hold the end of his coat off.
With Huo Yuhao's current growth speed, he could reach the 3rd Tier of Omniversal Order sooner or later. When that time comes, Evo's usefulness is nearly zero.
Even now, Huo Yuhao barely uses Evo's upgrading functions and relies on himself to comprehend the Unique Laws of the Universe. That shows just how high his potential is.
No wonder 1st Tier Existence cares so much about Huo Yuhao and placed a seal to protect him.
Huo Yuhao shook his head at Evo's silence, "Evo, can you trace who sent this Primeval Devil Fruit?"
[That's not possible]
[The one who sent Primeval Devil Fruit uses sketchy Omniversal Tunnels to send you a gift, which means the individual doesn't want outsiders to know]
[For now, you should focus on preparing yourself to eat the Primeval Devil Fruit, Host]
[Leave the Omniversal Order's matters to me]
"Thanks." Huo Yuhao suddenly said.
[For what?]
"For being a good partner." Huo Yuhao replied while getting up.
Then, he walked out of the origami boat.
[Partner? Host, you're cheesy]
"Oh, shut up." Huo Yuhao returned with a smile.
Huo Yuhao went out, finding himself in a touching scene.
Raikou hugged Robin, and they cried in joy.
Huang Qiu'er watched this on the side with a smile on her beautiful face.
Kuina is still somewhat bitter about Robin, but Huo Yuhao's words about fear cloud her judgment, making her realize she shouldn't be jealous of others.
It was intentional, but Huo Yuhao made Kuina's mindset mature.
He was lucky.
As Huo Yuhao entered the scene, Raikou and Robin stopped hugging and composed themselves.
Huo Yuhao stared at them and said calmly, "Even though we have solved this timeline's problem by eliminating Phantom Lord, we can't leave yet."
"Wait, so the Phantom Lord is Robin's body thief?" Raikou didn't expect this coincidence.
"But it makes sense. Such a power body possession usually won't work on people like us." Huang Qiu'er chimed in.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes."
"Now, on to the second part of my sentence."
"We need to stay on this timeline for a few days if not weeks."
"I want to prepare myself before eating a special Devil Fruit."
"You can rest in the meantime."
"What do you think?" He looked at the girls, asking for their opinion.
Kuina was the first to reply, "I think it's fine, Master."
"But you also need time for relaxing, too."
"Yeah, I second that." Huang Qiu'er added, agreeing with Kuina.
"No problem with me." Raikou put on an easygoing expression.
"Mhm, me too." Robin replied. She actually hasn't explored this timeline much because she got ambushed and forced into hiding.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Very well. It's decided, then."
"Let's stay here for a while."
