Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

It's important to know that back in Wano Country, very few people could even read the script of the Great Kingdom.

Not to mention the Wano Country, which has experienced numerous wars over the past two hundred years, leading to the partial extinction of its traditions.

Therefore, the current general is unable to understand the contents of the historical text.

According to the incomplete records, the current Shogun learned that the contents recorded on this historical stone tablet are related to Shimotsuki Ryoma, the guardian deity of Wano Country, and other legendary gods.

This also makes the current general very concerned about this historical inscription stele.

However, despite the current shogun's best efforts to find someone in Wano Country who could read the Poneglyphs, he ultimately failed.

Because there is currently no one in Wano Country who can understand the Poneglyphs.

Even so, the current general has not given up.

In the end, hard work pays off.

The current general learned that there was a famous archaeological site in the Western Sea called Ohara.

Ohara is home to the world’s largest collection of scholars and the most extensive library in the world – the Tree of Knowledge.

Without any hesitation, the current general immediately dispatched his trusted confidants to Ohara to invite scholars there to decipher the contents of this historical inscription stele.

Several years passed between those two trips.

Years later, Nico Hammer, a scholar from Ohara, finally arrived in Wano Country.

After resting, Nicole Hamad was taken to the current general's residence and to the historical inscription stone.

Archaeologists' thirst for knowledge and curiosity about the unknown history is unimaginable to ordinary people, which is why Nicole Hammer agreed to travel across the ocean to Wano Country.

Without any hesitation, Nicole Hamar began interpreting the historical text.

As she explained, Nicole Hamar recounted what she had learned.

"...Ryoma entered the Kingdom of Gods for the second time...and received permission from the gods to reside there..."

As Nicole Hammar explained, everyone present was deeply moved.

They never expected that Shimotsuki Ryoma, the guardian deity of Wano Country, would have such an experience, actually being granted permission by the gods to reside in the divine realm.

At the same time, they also realized that the legendary gods and the Kingdom of Gods were real, and that Shimotsuki Ryoma had entered the Kingdom of Gods twice.

Furthermore, according to the historical records, Shimotsuki Ryoma should still be alive today, living in the Kingdom of Gods.

Nicole Hamar, who was deciphering the historical text, was also deeply moved by its contents.

As Ohara's most renowned and talented archaeologist, Nicole Hammark naturally knew about the legends of gods and the kingdom of the gods.

Nicole Hammar once tried to find evidence that could prove the existence of God and the Kingdom of God, but all her attempts ended in failure.

Over time, Nicole Hamar also began to believe that God and the Kingdom of God were fictional and did not actually exist.

To this day, the contents recorded on this historical stele have completely overturned Nicole Hamar's understanding.

Nicole Hamad Er does not believe that the historical inscriptions are fake, which also means... that God and the Kingdom of God are real.

Nicole Hamad believes that if this news were to be revealed, it would inevitably cause a global upheaval.

At that time, Wano Country will surely become the center of turmoil.

The current general is naturally aware of this.

Therefore, the current general is looking at Nicole Hammar with murderous intent.

Clearly, in this world, only the dead are truly capable of keeping secrets...

......

Chapter 685 Last Words, the Factor of Turmoil!

Nicole Hamar naturally sensed the almost tangible killing intent emanating from the current general.

Nicole Hamad also understands.

Putting myself in their shoes, if I were the current Shogun of Wano Country, I would certainly nip this turmoil in the bud.

But while she understands, Nicole Hamad Erk will not surrender easily.

Nicole Hammar has a passionate interest in history and archaeology, which often requires her to venture into dangerous places.

But this doesn't mean that Nicole Hamad is truly fearless.

On the contrary, Nicole Hamad Er is very afraid of dying.

However, Nicole Hamad Er was not afraid of death, but rather afraid that her death would prevent her from exploring more lost history.

Nicole Hammar dared to frequently venture into those dangerous places because she had something to rely on.

This is thanks to Nico Hamer's Devil Fruit ability—the Door-Door Fruit.

The Door-Door Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. Its ability allows Nicole Hammar to turn any object she touches into a door that can be opened.

It's worth mentioning that the Door-Door Fruit's ability can ignore the hardness and shape of objects, allowing one to open doors anywhere and freely enter and exit.

For example, it can open doors in the air, on flames, or even on a human body.

Moreover, the doors opened by the Door-Door Fruit can create different kinds, sizes, and shapes of doors according to the user's wishes.

For example, sliding doors, pushing doors, revolving doors, etc., and even the person with the ability can become a door themselves.

Of course, these are not the essence of the Door-Door Fruit.

Based on Nicole Hammar's own development and understanding of the Door-Door Fruit, Nicole Hammar believes that the essence of the Door-Door Fruit lies in its ability to open doors in the air, thereby enabling free movement into other dimensions.

In her past experiences, Nicole Hammar has often escaped danger by opening air portals and entering alternate dimensions.

This time, Nicole Hamadel did not hesitate at all and opened the air door directly.

Amidst the current general's astonished expression, Nicole Hammar escaped directly into the green alternate dimension behind the air portal.

The current general only realized what was happening after Nicole Hamad had fled some distance.

Without any hesitation, the current general ordered his men to rush into the alternate dimension to pursue Nicole Hammar, determined to capture her.

The current Shogun is well aware that if Nico Hammer successfully escapes, Wano Country will soon become the center of the world's storm.

Although the guardian deity of Wano Country, the world's greatest swordsman from over two hundred years ago, Shimotsuki Ryoma, is still alive, and the current shogun also believes that Shimotsuki Ryoma has the ability to protect Wano Country in the midst of a storm.

However, Shimotsuki Ryoma lives in the Kingdom of Gods, and the current Grand Shogun has no way of contacting him.

Naturally, Shimotsuki Ryoma was no longer able to protect Wano Country.

Unfortunately, that initial moment of shock allowed Nicole Hammar to escape at a sufficient distance.

Without any hesitation, after escaping a certain distance, Nicole Hammar opened the door again in the alternate dimension and returned to the real world.

After that, Nicole Hammar closed the door that had opened in the alternate dimension and disappeared.

Ultimately, the soldiers who entered the alternate dimension to search for supplies met with no results.

Upon seeing this, the current general's face turned extremely ugly.

Because the current general did not know the contents of the historical text on the stone tablet at first, he was not on high alert.

This made it possible for Nicole Hammar to escape.

Although he knew that with Nico Hamer's Devil Fruit abilities, he probably wouldn't be able to catch her.

However, the current shogun still harbored a glimmer of hope and immediately issued an order to blockade all ports in Wano Country, while simultaneously declaring martial law nationwide and beginning a thorough search for Nico Hammer's whereabouts.

The first place to be thoroughly searched was naturally the General's mansion.

Meanwhile, Nico Hamer, upon returning to the real world, used the Door-Door Fruit's power to escape Wano Country without any obstacles.

However, Wano Country is located in the latter half of the Grand Line, which is the New World, while Ohara is located in the West Blue, outside the Grand Line.

Given the vast distance, coupled with the chaotic geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents along the Grand Line, it is difficult to determine the direction.

Therefore, Nicole Hammar knew very well that it would be difficult for her to return to Ohara on her own, even with the Door-Door Fruit.

But Nicole Hamar did not give up her desire to return home and embarked on her own journey.

As for the current general who caused all this, although Nicole Hamar can understand why the current general did what he did, she still has her own emotions.

Initially, Nicole Hammar also wanted to make the contents of that historical text public.

But Nicole Hamar hesitated when she thought about the consequences.

Nicole Hammer knew very well that once she made the contents of that Poneglyph public, Wano Country would likely suffer devastation and even become history.

Nicole Hamar could never do something like causing so many lives to be lost just to vent her anger and seek revenge.

With an uncertain expression, Nicole Hammar made a decision, and finally sighed softly.

The current general was filled with anxiety in the days that followed, fearing that he would hear news from the sea that he did not want to hear.

In the end, the current general gritted his teeth and decided to sink the historical text that recorded the deeds of Shimotsuki Ryoma into the seabed, so that it would disappear completely.

Afterwards, even if they hear news they don't want to hear from the sea, they can use this as an excuse to claim that there is no evidence to support the news.

Of course, the current general is well aware of people's hearts and knows that even the slightest possibility is enough to turn Wano Country upside down for those ambitious people.

Since then, even though the current general has not heard any similar news, it has kept him in a state of unease and anxiety.

During this time, the current Grand General also kept trying to find the Kingdom of Gods and a way to contact Shimotsuki Ryoma, but all his efforts came to nothing.

A few years later, the current general fell ill due to worry and eventually passed away.

The current general has not told anyone about Shimotsuki Ryoma's deeds, not even his own descendants, in order to prevent the seeds of turmoil from taking shape.

As for his close confidants who were present at the time, they were all secretly eliminated by the current general.

However, the current general left behind a meaningful final message: "Remember, Nicole Hamad Er is a disruptive force capable of influencing the world..."

......

Chapter 686 Remains of God, Child of the Era!

Although the succeeding general did not know why his father would leave such a dying wish, nor did he understand why Nicole Hamar was a disruptive force capable of influencing the world.

However, he memorized this sentence and even proclaimed it to the entire Wano Country.

In no time, the entire Wano Country knew the last words of the former shogun.
