The Seven Deadly Child
Devil Fruit

Theo had already stopped counting the number of times he had jumped out and entered in space distortions.

In front of Theo this time, there were hundreds of large ant-shaped spirit beast corpses. Screaming everywhere.

"Hahhh..hahhh...hahh..!!"

"Finally done.."

Theo who was in the middle of the pile of corpses of ants was breathing heavily while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Before, when he jumped for the last time, he entered the cave room that was shaped like this anthill. A moment after he landed, he was immediately greeted by hundreds of large-sized ants, they attacked him simultaneously.

The ants were not very strong, Theo could see their level was only a peak Normal D-class beast. Their classes and levels are the same as Theo's cultivation, should with the advantages of quality and the amount of Neutral-type Element Seed Theo has, it is not difficult to defeat these ants.

Theo's Neutral-type Element Seed did have a very high difficulty to cultivate. Requiring an enormous amount of resources to take care of him, this was not the clearest of the six branches possessed by this type of Element Seed. Theo had to take care of all six of them at once.

But this difficulty is directly proportional to its benefits, because it has six branches, as well as better quality than other normal types of Element Seed branches, these six branches are able to store more mana and manage mana to become more qualified.

This made Theo invincible when it came to fighting a Knight or Spirit Beast of the same class as him, and also allowed him to be able to fight against one that had a grade higher than him.

Theo could even defeat the previous lizard which was a mid-stage C-class special beast without any difficulty.

However, since the number of these ants were too many, they were still a little troublesome for Theo.

"We are close! I can feel the aura of a demonic fruit emanating very strongly around here."

When Theo was still trying to catch his breath, and was collecting crystal beasts from the corpses of ants around him, the voice of his master sounded not far from where he was.

He immediately turned his head and looked towards his master.

The corners of Theo's eyes immediately twitched when he saw his master in a relaxed sleeping position, like he was in a cool spring meadow.

"Master…!!! even if you have no intention of helping me at all, can you be normal for a bit? Your attitude really sucks..!!!"

Theo was very upset to see this behavior of his master, from earlier when in any dangerous condition, he was always very relaxed.

Even before, several times the master was seen walking around the spirit beast nest to look around curiously, as if he was a tourist visiting a tourist spot.

While at the same time, Theo had to fight desperately with the spirit beasts guarding the space. Theo had been feeling very upset ever since.

But this time, when he saw the relaxed sleeping position of his master, he could no longer hold back his sense of regret.

"You why keep nagging indistinctly? relax a little! you're getting to look like a pubescent young girl."

"Where did the 300-year mentality go?" the master answered with a face that did not care. Still sleeping without looking at Theo.

"Master…..!!!!"

When his master said that, Theo who was about to blaspheme suddenly remembered his older sister Issabela. Now she knows what her brother has been feeling when he intentionally or unintentionally upset her.

"Hahhhh..is this what karma is?" Theo snorted while sighing, trying to calm down.

Now that he missed his older sister even more, he could not imagine how worried his older brother was when he saw Theo fall into the abyss. How did his mother and father react? he became increasingly eager to get out of this abyss, soon meeting with his family so they could know that he was fine.

"Master, you said we're close, so which direction should I take?" Theo asked after he finished collecting all the beast crystals from the ant colony.

"Do you see that stone wall over there? Just destroy the wall!" tiankong said as he pointed in a direction, still staying asleep.

Trying to ignore his master's annoying attitude, Theo headed for the stone wall he meant.

He immediately used the Iron fist technique, to destroy the stone wall.

The room trembled for a moment accompanied by the opening of a fairly large hole in the stone wall.

Theo stepped into the hole to exit the anthill. When he had come out of the ant nest, he could see the familiar surroundings by him.

This was the initial environment when he was exploring at the bottom of the ravine for the first time several years ago.

After looking around, Theo now realized that the light he got from earlier was coming from a glowing fruit that he had not seen for several years. Previously, he was too busy fighting giant ant colonies and arguing with his master that he was unaware of the existence of these glowing fruits.

"Ahhhh, so that's why I feel like the ants before look familiar." Theo muttered.

When fighting with giant ants, Theo actually vaguely felt he had seen the ants. Because indeed the ants turned out to be one of the insect-shaped Beast spirits Theo had seen when first exploring in this mysterious abyss.

*

After arriving at the location that he understood the terrain, the journey went more smoothly.

It didn't take long for Theo to get to where he first fell. Now he could see again before him two invisible spaces that had two opposite sides of gravity.

Fireflies the size of palms still move in groups around the glowing fruits. Due to the nostalgic feeling, Theo looked at the cluster of fireflies with a gentle look, a smile appearing on his face. He had just realized this scene somehow felt so beautiful.

"Why are you smiling to yourself? Are you a little crazy?"

His master's voice awakened Theo's reverie.

"Aren't you able to read my mind? Why don't you find out for yourself?" Theo said ketus, he still felt annoyed by the attitude of his master before this.

"Don't I say that I can only read your mind, when did I ever say I could read your feelings? Those thoughts and feelings are different, you idiot..!!" Tiankong said in passing, then floated closer towards the two invisible spaces.

"Huhhhhh…..!" Theo immediately snorted in annoyance.

Why was this master so annoying, just now he could feel a little at ease with the nostalgic feeling he felt. Yet with just a few words from his master, he was already feeling annoyed again.

"I'll die quickly from stress if I keep going like this!" said Theo.

Tiankong who heard those words immediately replied. "Just calm down, before I see you reach the highest peak, I won't let you die. Even if you want to die!"

Theo who heard those words did not feel overwhelmed, instead felt horrified in his heart.Why does it sound like the words of a Psychopath?' muttered.

"What did you say??" Tiankong asked without looking at Theo. He was still observing the invisible room in front of him.

"Hehehe, it's nothing, it's nothing master."

But unlike Theo's estimation, his Master did not hit him, not even turning towards him, he still observed the invisible space before him seriously.

After a while, the master turned his head back and headed towards Theo.

Theo took a few steps back, immediately acting alert.

"I've made sure, the invisible space in front is not a remnant of the power of the demonic fruit user as I thought before."

His master began to explain, unlike Theo's guess that he thought he would hit him.

"Then??" Theo who was relieved immediately asked to give a response.

"Looking at the intensity of the pressure of his aura, this is not a space of distortion created from the remains of the user, but a space that is indeed naturally formed from the fruit of a demon that grows and has not been quoted" Tiankong replied.

"So, let's just say you're lucky, boy!" Tiankong started to smile cunningly again.

"What does that sneaky smile mean??" Theo who felt his feelings were not good immediately asked.

"Otherwise? Still need to ask? Now you go in there to find it and pluck it! you must obtain the power of the devil fruit!" Answer Tiankong.

Theo's face turned ugly, he looked at the invisible space before him which continued to give off a strange aura. This master continuously made him do dangerous things. He asked, Is it true that his master wants to see him reach the top of the world? or just want to prank him to death?

"Already! don't think of anything weird, just go in! I'll accompany you and give you directions."

"Is there no final warning?"

Theo did not want the last incident with the lizard to repeat itself, so he asked before entering into the invisible room.

"Hahhahaha, you can't be joked at all!" Tiankong started laughing again looking at the wary attitude of his disciple.

Theo soon became upset. "That's not the way to joke master..!!!"

"Hahhaha, already, no warning, just go in now..!"

Although he still felt that something was amiss, Theo could only obey his master's instructions.

He leaped forward into the invisible space that had zero gravity.

**

Boooommm…!

Boooommm…!

Booommmm...!

The sound of explosions was heard.

"Siinaannnn, damnitnnn…!!!"

Theo was seen flying rapidly in the air. Behind him, there was a group of snails that floated quickly moving after him. These snails continuously fired fireballs from their strange-looking shells.

"Hahhahaa! a human being is chased by a group of snails..!!!" Tiankong laughed out loud next to Theo.

"Silence…..!!!" Theo shouted in annoyance.

As he had expected before entering this invisible space, he already felt an uneasy feeling upon seeing the master's crafty smile.

As it entered the inner area of this gravityless invisible space, various strange Beast spirits continuously wildly attacked Theo. Unlike the tame Spirit beasts on the outside, the deeper inside, the more wild the spirit beasts he encountered.

While Theo was still not used to moving in this gravityless space, the group of spirit Beasts living within it were already very accustomed and moving with various strange maneuvers utilizing the zero state of gravity.

Even snails that usually had very slow movements, could maneuver and quickly fly after Theo as they are today.

Previously, when he first fought with this group of snails. Theo had tried to attack them many times, but these snails had strange maneuvering movements.

Utilizing the zero-gravity field, they could shrewdly dodge any of Theo's attacks. Able to predict the direction of the attack before it hits them, their movements are strange, but efficient.

Theo who constantly found himself caught off guard and hit by fireball attacks many times without being able to land a single backlash, finally could only run away in frustration. Ends with the position of being chased by dozens of snails.

**

Theo was still trying to run away from the group of snails chasing after him when he could suddenly feel a very strong pressure not far in front of him.

Sensing the intense pressure, he immediately stopped his flying motion. Behind him, the snails who also felt the pressure seemed to stop chasing. Afraid to move further.

It turned out that theo was now at the end of invisible space, directly adjacent to another invisible space that continued to emit a strong gravitational pull pressure.

"Congratulations.!! you run so fast! you won a race against a bunch of snails! ahhaha...!!" the master's sarcastic voice sounded beside Theo accompanied later with a loud laughter.

"Haha..it's so funny!!!" Theo laughed briefly in response to the joke, which he thought was not at all funny.

"Now what else?" Asked again briefly, he began to be immune to the annoying attitude of his master.

"Hmmm look at the end there, you just have to pluck the fruit and all these invisible space effects will soon disappear." Tiankong replied as he pointed in a direction.

Theo who was still floating in the air immediately looked at the direction his master pointed to, inside the invisible space of the other part, which had a strong gravitational pull pressure. Theo could see one strangely white-shaped Fruit stuck to the wall of the ravine. As unaffected by the strong gravitational attraction, the Fruit stuck to the wall of the ravine with a few strands of its leaves and roots.

"How do I pick it?"

Seeing that the Fruit was in a space that had a strong gravitational pressure, Theo was confused as to how to pluck it. He felt like he was going to die unable to move under the strong pull of gravity just one step into the room.

"Even Raging Ape, an A-grade Ancient Beast was unable to survive due to the intense pressure of gravity!" said Theo proceeding to explain to his master.

"You think too much about it, didn't you tell me that Raging Ape fell from the abyss with you? Of course, the height of the fall also has an important effect on the death of the Raging Ape. Gravitational attraction is just an additional factor." Tiankong gave his opinion.

"Now just go in there! consider this part of your training, I told you strength doesn't come by itself, you have to take risks to get it! get that fruit now!!" Tiankong closed his explanation casually.

Theo could only snort in annoyance, not daring to refute his master's instructions.

After gathering some determination for a while, he finally ventured into the invisible space on the other side.
