With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

"Do you know how the mythical beast-type devil fruit is produced?"

The old king's words did arouse Zel's interest. As a branch of the animal-type devil fruit, the mythical beasts are creatures that exist in people's imaginations.

Whether it is the natural type, superhuman type, ordinary animal type or ancient type, they have all appeared in the world, only the mythical beast type does not exist.

The old king saw Zel's expression and knew that Zel had been attracted. He then said: "The origin of the mythical beast species is unknown, but my ancestors once tried to create a mythical beast species devil fruit."

"Based on the changes in the strength of the two churches over the years, our ancestors' plan should have been successful."

"My ancestor believed that the mythical beast-type devil fruit was the product of people's long-held beliefs, and he also conducted experiments on this. Both the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness were founded by my ancestors."

Zell probably already knew about the experiment conducted by the founder of the Kingdom of Ishio, but it shouldn't be that simple.

Sure enough, the old king's words answered Zel's question.

"My ancestor possessed the power of the Fruit of Faith, which allowed him to establish faith in people's hearts and strengthen their convictions."

When Zel heard about the Fruit of Faith, his mind moved and the Book of Omniscience appeared in his hand.

Although the old king didn't know what Zel was doing, he stopped speaking at the right time.

"The Parahuman Fruit of Faith strengthens people's faith in certain beliefs, philosophies, and scientific truths... Past users of this fruit have included kings, religious founders, psychologists, and con men..."

After reading the contents of the Book of Complete Knowledge about the Fruit of Faith, Zel could only say that there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless users of Devil Fruit abilities.

Some people can use the power of faith to brainwash a large number of assassins to become the king of a country, while others use it to commit fraud.

Putting away the Book of Omniscience, Zel asked, "I wonder what mythical beasts the two churches believe in?"

"The Church of Light worships angels, and the Church of Dark Night worships demons."

The old king's words made Zell even more confused.

"How did your ancestors determine that there are no angels or demons, two mythical beast-type devil fruits?"

Zell's words also stunned the old king. All his information came from the documents passed down from generation to generation in the kingdom. If it weren't for the things that happened in recent years, he wouldn't believe these things.

"Maybe he didn't create the mythical beasts, but attracted the arrival of the mythical beasts' devil fruits." Vegapunk came to Zel's side at some point.

Seeing Zel's look, Vegapunk continued to explain: "I'm not sure about Parahuman and Nature-type Devil Fruits, but from my research, Animal-type Devil Fruits are conscious. They will go to the most suitable place and choose their own master."

Vegapunk's words reminded Zel of some speculations about One Piece in his previous life. In fact, it was not that Luffy accidentally ate the Rubber Fruit (Nika Fruit), but that the Nike Fruit chose Luffy.

If this speculation is correct, then it is not surprising that Angel Fruit and Devil Fruit appear here.

"Have you seen those two people with special abilities?" Zel continued to ask.

"No, although the people of the Church of Light are not strong, they are very difficult to deal with. The people of the Church of Darkness are even more crazy. They often fight with others regardless of their lives, but they can be killed as long as you don't get close to them."

The purpose of Vegapunk and his men making weapons is to get rid of the people of the Church of Darkness first. After all, the health bars of the people of the Church of Light are too thick.

"I agree to your request. No need to wait. I can solve the problem tonight."

"Well, should we wait a few more days? After all, the equipment will be ready soon."

"no need."

Even if he ate a mythical beast-type devil fruit, so what? Since he was confined to this small South China Sea, his strength was limited to that.

That night, Zel swaggered into Dark Night City. He was dressed in black, just like everyone else in Dark Night City.

It was because of this situation that Zel came alone without bringing He Li.

People come and go on the street, just like an ordinary city, no different from anywhere else.

Originally, Zel planned to follow the red dot on the system map to find the devil fruit, but an unexpected situation made him change his strategy.

Not long after walking, Zel discovered that a large number of people began to walk towards the city center. In order not to cause a riot, Zel also mixed in with them.

Following the flow of people, Zel soon arrived in front of a gloomy church.

The church looks like it has been around for hundreds of years and is even more eerie in the dark.

The believers gathered around the church, all kept their mouths shut, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

Soon, several people wearing black robes and hats came out of the church and stood on the platform.

Following closely behind them was a group of smartly dressed men in black. They had calm eyes but exuded an aura of madness.

Zel guessed that these people were the Dark Night Hunters of the Dark Night Church, about three hundred of them.

In the perception of observation Haki, the breath of the night hunter is particularly loose, as if it was forced on by someone.

One of the people on the platform stepped forward and spoke to the many believers below: "People of the Dark Night, the day of selection has come again. The Devil will grant us strength. The Dark Night is with us!"

The man's trembling voice sounded like that of an old man, but his tone made people feel like an excited madman.

"The night is with me!"

The silent crowd suddenly exploded, and the loud shouts revealed madness.

Zel was puzzled, because the system map showed that the devil fruit users were not the people on the stage, but had been staying in the church without moving.

Although Zel didn't speak, he was inconspicuous in the crowd and no one paid attention to him.

After five consecutive times, the crowd returned to silence again, but Zel could feel that they were even more excited.

The old man on the stage spoke again: "Now let us thank the devil for his gift!"

As the words fell, everyone on the stage turned around and knelt down in the direction of the church.

The believers in the audience did the same and knelt down at the same time.

Zel stood in the crowd, feeling somewhat awkward. Kneeling was out of the question, and he was exposed before he had pretended for long.

No one noticed at first, but as the first pair of eyes looked, more and more eyes stopped on Zel.

Although they didn't know why Zel didn't kneel, in their eyes this was a sign of disrespect to the Devil-sama, and they began to discuss it.

There were more and more discussions behind him, and the old man on the stage was also angry. He was about to blame everyone, but when he turned around, he met Zel's eyes.

Zel's crimson eyes just stared at the old man.

The old man felt as if he was being locked by a wild beast, and his body began to sweat.

But out of his firm belief, he still boldly said: "Why don't you kneel!"
