The Seven Deadly Child
Gravity Fruit's

Theo's first step entered the other side. The intense pressure he immediately felt, tons of iron as if dropped on his shoulders, his entire body instantly felt heavy.

He immediately circulated the fire mana and the surrounding ground to form iron mana, applying the Iron Fist technique process. However, he did not focus the iron mana on his hand muscles, but rather circulated it evenly throughout the muscles in his body.

If other Knights mastered the Iron Fist technique, they would not be able to do what Theo was currently doing. Except, the Knight had a Neutral-type Element Seed like the one he had.

Theo made use of the abundance of mana within his Neutral-type Element Seed, as well as the qualitative improvement of his body resulting from divine electric baptism to modify the Iron Fist technique. Creating new techniques of his own. Theo called this technique of his creation, as the Iron Body technique.

Theo's creation technique is actually still in development, there are still many gaps that Theo thinks he needs to fix. However, in this sudden critical state he was in, Theo had no other choice but to use this technique to strengthen his body instantly.

Krakkkk….!

kraaakk…!

kraaakk...!

The muscles throughout Theo's body immediately expand as the flow of iron begins to enter and envelop him. Releasing a heavy tyrannical aura, along with the expansion of those muscles, Theo's body let out a strange squeaking sound. Like the sound of bones constantly rubbing.

"Hahhhhh...hahhh…!!!"

Theo took a heavy breath after the process of applying his technique was completed. But along with that, the heavy burden that had previously weighed on his body also felt lighter. His physical body, which was covered in iron, began to be able to withstand the heavy pressure of gravitational attraction.

"I told you, the technique you developed is too dangerous! overloading your physical body excessively..!!" Tiankong's voice rang out beside Theo.

When Tiankong first saw Theo make this technique a few years ago, he had already warned his disciple several times. That, even though this technique did have great potential in the future, with Theo's current physical body ability, despite having received divine electrical baptism, this technique was still too dangerous.

"I've considered it, after several trials, I can tell that my physical body will still be able to survive. At least, for three minutes." Answer Theo.

After giving a short answer to his worried master, Theo wasted no time and immediately began to step forward.

One step..

Two steps..

Three steps..

Four steps..

Five steps..

At each step Theo approached the devil. The attraction of gravity was getting stronger, making his steps even heavier.

Ten paces..

Eleven steps…

.....

Twenty steps….

"Hahhhh..hahhh..hahhhhh.."

Theo breathed increasingly heavy in the twentieth step. Now he was only a few steps away from reaching the position of the devil fruit. But he already felt he had reached the limit of his physical abilities. He could not lift his foot to move forward.

While time continued to run, the three-minute time limit he could bear was also decreasing. Before his physique could not withstand the Iron Body technique, and his bones would begin to disintegrate.

Even though he could unleash an iron body technique, gravity would still immediately destroy his body if he did that.

Theo's situation is getting more difficult. As she began to lose hope, she suddenly recalled her parents and her two older brothers. On the other hand, he could see his master continuously observing not far from where he was. The master's gaze began to be filled with worry.

Previously, in the course of when Theo began to enter the invisible depths of space zero gravity. The master gave a brief explanation. That, in the territory of another satanic fruit, he would not be able to help too much other than just give directions. Because in this room, his strength naturally ran into limits.

If even his Master forced to help Theo and use his mana, the consumption of mana his master had to expend would increase to the extreme tens or even hundreds of times over.

There is also the possibility that the devil fruit here will feel the remnants of demonic fruit energy in the spirit of the master, and will begin to absorb the spirit of the master to make it a food fertilizer.

The devil fruit that is here is a natural devil fruit that is still alive and has not been picked. While the master is just a spirit who does not have a physical body. If that were to really happen, the master would have no chance of resisting at all. Must accept his fate, absorbed by the fruit of the devil and made as food fertilizer.

To accompany Theo in and give him directions. His master had already sacrificed a lot just to control mana and maintain his spirit form within this room.

Upon seeing the master's expression, Theo looked back at the demonic fruit not far from his sight.

"I have to succeed! I'm going back to my family! I won't trouble the master! it won't make him have to sacrifice more! I won't disappoint master..!!"

Theo gave himself the impulse to endure, he could only rely on his own strength for now.

When Theo's determination began to strengthen again, suddenly a single crazy thought flashed through his head.

"All right, I'll bet! there is no power that can be achieved for free, I will take risks once again!" theo muttered.

After saying that, Theo immediately drained all the iron covering the muscles of his entire body towards his feet, focusing all the iron mana only on his leg muscles.

"Are you crazy….!!!!" Tiankong who saw that immediately cried out in worry.

Kkkkkkk…!

Kratakkkk..!

Kkrata….!!

A loud cracking sound was immediately heard from Theo's entire body as he released the iron mana that enveloped his body.

The strong gravitational attraction that was previously held back by the muscle strength of the iron mana, immediately began to destroy Theo's entire body.

A split second after gravity started****** his body, Theo focused all her energy onto his leg, and began pushing the ground beneath him to make a huge leap while shouting out loud in pain.

"Aaaarrgghhh…..!!!!"

Booommm…....!!!!

Accompanied by Theo's deafening loud scream of pain, the strong gravitational attraction also made his landing produce a loud sound. Shaking the area around it.

Shortly after landing, Theo was immediately stuck in a lying position on the ground full of cracks, while continuing to scream loudly in pain. He felt his whole body as crushed-***** by an invisible giant hand.

Theo has now reached the position of the devil fruit, the devil fruit is on the side of the cliff that is not far above it. However, Theo's condition has not allowed him to move at all, pressed by the gravity that crushes his bones.

"Dumb son! especially now….?"

Tiankong who from earlier was already very worried when he saw the entire dangerous action of Theo, immediately floated forward. He already intended to help Theo, no matter how much he had to pay.

But before Tiankong could react any further, he heard Theo shouting something.

"Baal..I called you..!!!"

A moment after Theo shouted, Baal immediately appeared from within the Tattoo of his left arm.

"Master, you're calling….."

"What kind of strong pressure is this??"

Baal who had just come out of the tattoo immediately felt a strong pressure weighing down on his body. Unlike Tiankong which is a pure spirit so it is not affected by the attraction of gravity. Baal is a spirit item, he still has a physical body.

"Quickly turn into a stick…!!!!"

Before Baal began to fall to the ground due to the pressure of gravity, Theo immediately shouted.

Seeing a strange and dangerous condition, Baal forgot the thought of playing around with his master as usual. He immediately obeyed the orders of his master without thinking and turned into a weapon form.

In the form of a metal stick, Baal falls straight in a standing position facing up. Falling right next to Theo with a thud.

Using all his remaining energy, Theo who was still groaning in pain tried to direct his hand to grab and grasp the metal stick. With all his effort and pain, he finally managed to grasp the metal stick.

"Switch…..!!!!" Shouted Theo with his last energy.

Bukkkkp....

With the rupture of the limb holding him back, the devil fruit came loose, and fell to the ground with a light voice.

Accompanied by the plucking of the devil fruit, the invisible room immediately proved for a while and slowly began to disappear.

The pressure of gravitational attraction felt by Theo immediately disappeared along with the loss of invisible space.

"Hahhhhh..hahhh..hahhh…!!!"

Theo took a heavy breath after the pressure he felt disappeared.

"I succeeded! i succeeded..! hahhahahha..! master I succeeded..! hahaha..!!!" Theo started laughing out loud.

Bletaakkkk……!!!

The wooden rod suddenly flew up and hit Theo's head hard.

"Master….??"

Before Theo could finish his words, intense pain spread throughout his body.

Previously, the adrenaline boost from the pleasure of successfully picking the devil fruit, making Theo had forgotten the pain. The blow on the head from his master was like a stimulant that made him re-feel the entire pain.

Theo groaned for a while before then falling unconscious.

"This kid, why is it so rash?" tiankong muttered annoyedly.

But after saying so, he looked at his student who was lying unconscious with a proud look. A satisfied smile adorned his face.

**

When he opened his eyes again, Theo's pain subsided slightly. His body was enveloped in a blanket where water made him very comfortable. However, he could see his master staring coldly at him.

"Haha.the master! why put on such a serious face?" Theo.

When he heard Theo ask like that shortly after he woke up, Tiankong's cold gaze immediately disappeared. Replaced with a creepy look and a grin that makes Theo's hair goosebumps.

"Good, can you still joke..?"

After saying so, Tiankong shook his hand.

Along with the motion of shaking Tiankong's hand, where the water that enveloped Theo's body immediately scattered and then disappeared.

Theo who still did not understand what was happening, was a little surprised when the comfortable water surrounding his body spread out and disappeared.

Along with the disappearance of the water mana, the pain that had previously subsided again strengthened. The sudden change of situation made Theo's entire body start to convulse in pain. Not ready to endure the pain.

"Aarrhghhhh….! it's akhatt…! it's sick! master..!!!"

Theo immediately cried out in pain, pleading with his master. He felt the bones all over his body crumble.

"Where did your saintly attitude go?" Tiankong replied indifferently.

Heard a cry of pain and begged Theo. Tiankong instead of pity, instead began to put on a face that did not care. Then look for a good position and start sleeping quietly.

"Aarrgghhhh! Master please! it really hurts. I'm not kidding this time..!!!" Theo shouted louder.

"Of course I know you're not kidding. Almost all the bones in your body are broken. It's normal that you're in pain."

"Sorry first, and admit that you are an idiot" Tiankong replied briefly.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry! I'm an idiot kid! now quickly do something..!!" Please Theo again.

Without looking at Theo, and still in a relaxed position to sleep while closing your eyes. Tiankong then replied.

"Didn't you along the way here before, continue to gather the energy fruit that you call the glowing fruit?"

"Just eat the fruit gradually and begin to absorb its energy. The life energy in it will make your body improve slowly and ease the pain."

Hearing this, Theo now really felt an idiot, to forget the fact of the efficacy of the glowing fruit that once healed his broken hand.

Wasn't he indeed deliberately gathering glowing fruit along the way, just in case when it came to emergencies like the one he was currently experiencing?

"Basic Idiot…!!" Theo cursed himself.

Without wasting any longer, he immediately took out some glowing fruit from within the space-time bracelet. Started consuming.

**

It took more than a week until Theo felt his body start to improve.

He was currently sitting cross-legged, observing a plain white fruit the size of his palm that he was holding.

"Master, do I just have to eat it directly? No special method?"

In Theo's hands right now was none other than the devil fruit he had previously plucked with great difficulty risking his life.

Knowing the tendencies of his master who liked to make himself a joke, Theo asked once again to make sure that the fruit was safe to eat directly.

"I told you, just eat it straight! why do you still doubt?" Dengus Tiankong's.

Tiankong had still not moved from his leisurely sleeping position for these few days.

Theo still looked at his master doubtfully, before strengthening his heart and starting to bite the fruit in his hand with one small bite.

Kresssu…

A crisp sound rang out as Theo bit the devil fruit.

"Ohh, I'll remind you, the taste of the fruit is very unpleasant, and you can't tell me one bit! Or, the benefits will be reduced and not optimal." Tiankong said shortly after Theo bit the fruit.

After his master spoke, an extremely strong bitter taste immediately spread throughout Theo's mouth. He wanted to spit out the fruit, but hearing the master's warning, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands. Trying not to spit it out.

After successfully holding back from regurgitating him, he swallowed the first bite without chewing at all.

Theo managed to swallow the first bite, albeit with great difficulty. He then looked at the rest of the fruit in his hand. Doubt for a moment, before Theo steeled his resolve and began to eat the remaining fruit with large bites, swallowing it as fast as he could.

Seeing Theo eating the entire fruit scraps, Tiankong quietly began to smile cheerfully without Theo's knowledge.

After swallowing the entire fruit, Theo's face turned green. He started sticking out his tongue, scratching it.

"What a bitter fruit….!!"

Theo was busy scratching his tongue, trying to eliminate the bitter taste in his mouth. Forgetting that he had previously felt a little annoyed by the late warning from his master.

As Theo was busy scratching his bitter tongue, he could suddenly hear the sound of loud laughter next to him.

"Hahhah, actually one bite is enough, the rest of the fruit has no benefits..!!"

"Hahhahhahha.." the master said as he continued to laugh out loud.

Hearing that, still with a green face, Theo turned towards the master. His mouth was open with his tongue out, his hands were still scratching. Not saying anything, just staring at his master with an expression of disbelief.

Theo felt really inexhaustible with this attitude of his master, he was even tired of rebuking the master at this time. It could only swallow all of its complaints in its heart.

Tiankong who saw Theo's stupid expression, started laughing even louder.

After being satisfied with a laugh for a while, Tiankong then began to explain.

"What you eat is a devil fruit called Gravity Fruit. The person who eats it will have the ability to control the Gravity around it."
