Chapter 633 Secrets and Speculations
Since other manifestations are consistent, the only difference is the lifespan after infection. All Vic can think of is that too much time has passed and the virus has mutated to a certain extent. Another possibility is that Roger is very powerful, and with the assistance of Kurokas' treatment, he forcibly prolongs his life.
"You said the virus was an external invasion? If Roger was really infected when he was alone, then it must have been the only time we were apart. No wonder Roger looked so unhappy when he came back from going out alone!
We asked him but he said it was nothing. But not long after that, he spat out a large mouthful of blood while fighting with someone. Roger had fought with the man in the past with ease, but he spat out blood during that battle. We couldn't believe it. Roger at that time would actually spit out blood during a battle? It was like a dream!
Later, when Roger was being treated for his injuries, he was diagnosed with an illness. The ship's doctor at the time could not tell what the illness was, and only advised him not to fight with all his strength in the future, otherwise his condition would worsen! "
After Vic's analysis, Rayleigh recalled the time when they separated from Roger. Combined with Roger's series of behaviors after his return, everything made sense. He had never thought about that before.
Roger is a strong-willed person who likes to handle everything by himself. Many times, this makes his old friends feel distressed, but they can't persuade him.
"Oh! Mr. Rayleigh, do you know where Captain Roger went alone? I must never go to such a place again. I must not be infected by a virus that even the Pirate King can't stop!"
Vic was originally curious about the similarities between the symptoms in the medical book and Roger's own, so he asked casually, but now he finds that the two are likely to be the same disease, and that the virus is somewhere in the New World.
Although Vic's medical skills are very advanced now, they are still aimed at spontaneous diseases of the body. Diseases caused by invasion of foreign viruses and bacteria are not so easy to treat. So Vic also wants to know where Roger has gone. He needs to avoid it and never take his companions there in the future.
"Roger didn't tell us where he was going. He just talked to me and Jabba alone before he left.
He said that he had recently sensed an unknown realm while practicing, but he kept lingering at the doorstep of that realm and couldn't go in to take a look, so he wanted to leave for a while and find a place where no one would disturb him to see if he could break through to that realm!
When Roger came back later, his face looked very grim. It was obvious that he had not reached a new realm. Roger told us that there was no such realm and his perception was wrong. We were also very disappointed when we heard that.
So later on, Roger was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and we never thought that he was infected with the virus at that time!
However! After we came back from Raftel, on the eve of the disbanding of the Pirates, Roger approached me and Jabba alone again!
He said that the realm he sensed back then really exists, but we must not easily break through after sensing that realm, otherwise it will bring about fatal disaster!
After saying this, Roger got off the ship. Later, due to the disbandment of the pirate group, I semi-retired and did not continue to practice, so I had no chance to touch that realm!
But Vic, you are so young and have such strength, you still have a chance to touch that realm. If you are lucky enough to break through, you must let me see the power of that realm, but you still have to remember Roger's advice! "
Rayleigh's words made Vic's head buzz, and his eyes stared at the wine glass in his hand without focus. Rayleigh's words contained too much information. If he hadn't already known about the realm of gods, he would not have understood what Rayleigh was saying at all.
What did he hear? Roger actually touched the unknown realm of God by himself. He had never eaten the soul fruit, nor did he have the laws of the devil fruit to guide him. He just relied on his extraordinary talent and strong will to sense that realm!
Roger was on the verge of breaking through to the realm of God. If his powerful body had not been invaded by an unknown virus and destroyed, Vic believed that Roger would definitely be able to enter the realm of God.
That was an era when all information in the Realm of God was concealed. He was indeed worthy of being the first person to reach Raftel in eight hundred years. He went to sea in his twenties and grew step by step into the Pirate King who resounded throughout the sea.
Then Vic thought of what Roger reminded Rayleigh and Jabba, that the realm of God should not be broken through easily, otherwise it would bring about fatal disaster. What is fatal disaster?
That was a threat from outside, not any changes that would occur inside the body during a breakthrough. This reminder was exactly the same as the one left by the female god in the Soul Tree!
In other words, when breaking through the realm of the God of Law, the laws of heaven and earth will be activated, causing the laws to fluctuate differently than usual, and this fluctuation in the laws will be sensed by other Gods of Law.
If you meet a magic god who has ill intentions towards you, he will definitely not let you break through as you wish. Vic guessed that Roger must have been ambushed by other magic gods when he was trying to break through, so he failed to break through and was infected with a terminal illness!
Although the magic god used such a despicable and difficult-to-detect method as the virus, Roger still noticed it, which led to the subsequent concealment and the warning before deciding to surrender!
This means that there are still Gods of Law in the world, but this God of Law has been attacking other talented people who can break through to the level of Gods of Law. He does not allow any new Gods of Law to appear and threaten him.
Can't the gods of law be friends or live in peace with each other? Must they be killed? Unless they are destined to be enemies!
This type of assassination reminded Vic of the time when Wendy was assassinated by CP agents in Flower. Wendy almost died that time, and the cause of the attack was also an ancient virus that had long disappeared.
Vic thought of the medical book that recorded the virus that infected Roger. That medical book came from Magnetic Drum Island, and the owners of those books moved to Marijoa and became the first generation of Celestial Dragons!
And the Celestial Dragons rule this world. If you think about it this way, everything makes sense. There must be a strong man in the realm of God among the Celestial Dragons. As for whether there is only one strong man in the realm of God, or more than one, it is not clear.
In order to better rule the world, the Celestial Dragons will kill all those who have the hope of breaking through and becoming gods. Therefore, during the eight hundred years of the Celestial Dragons' rule, no strong person with the God of Law Mirror has appeared, and the World Government has also erased all information about the God of Law!
The mysterious man in black robe that Vic met was most likely a person who had broken through before the Celestial Dragons ruled the world, but he had been hiding his identity and guarding against the powerful Celestial Dragons' gods of magic.
