Elior's words went far beyond Big Mom's imagination, even though she had weathered countless storms in her life.

But Big Mom was still visibly shaken.

At this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "How do you reach other worlds?"

Today was probably the most sober and clear-headed Big Mom had ever been.

Even in this world, Big Mom stood at the very top, yet she couldn't suppress her inner curiosity about the mystery and unknown beyond.

Compared to other worlds, what was Laugh Tale worth?

Surely no one in this world could resist the temptation of other worlds.

And Elior came from another world!

Big Mom's heart was anything but calm now.

"After I finish settling things in this world, I can open a passage to another world."

This wasn't some random boast from Elior. It was something the system had told him.

But first, he needed to conquer this world, reach its very source. At that point, he could open the passage to another world at will.

In other words… become the King of the World? Travel to Laugh Tale?

To rule this world meant overthrowing the World Government, eliminating all opposing forces—or forcing them to submit.

But what exactly was the "origin" of the world?

That was complicated.

For now, Elior needed to deal with becoming King of the World first.

"Rule the world… become the King of the World? Your power might even surpass the man who tried before you. He wanted to be King of the World too, but there were too many reasons why he was killed."

"Rocks."

Elior spoke the name.

Big Mom couldn't help but be surprised. She hadn't expected Elior to know it. Everything about that man had been erased from history. Even many from the older generation no longer remembered him—let alone the young.

"With my power, and your cooperation, dominating this world will be simple—unless the World Government has some overwhelming force hidden away. But even then, it wouldn't be enough to stop us."

"I don't know. The World Government is very secretive, and their hidden combat power is impossible to gauge. But if we unite the forces of three Yonko, overthrowing them shouldn't be too difficult."

Big Mom was actually far more interested in the other worlds.

As for Laugh Tale, Elior already possessed three Poneglyphs. Since they were allies, they would travel together.

He had already said so in their earlier conversation.

After all, Elior wasn't interested in becoming the Pirate King.

Even uncovering the Void Century didn't matter much to him; he was pursuing it almost casually.

To put it bluntly, Elior saw the world of pirates as just one of many.

It wasn't all that important anymore.

Either way, Elior would end up ruling everything in this world—or perhaps even becoming a god.

Now, with Big Mom and Kaido on board, there was no need to say more.

Elior had his own ways of keeping them under control.

Then Elior spoke again:

"In one month, we kill Red-Hair. That will be the beginning."

"Take down Red-Hair?!"

It had to be said—this was madness.

Big Mom was shocked. If the Big Mom Pirates attacked the Red-Hair Pirates, both sides would suffer no matter what. Their power was too evenly matched. The balance of power between the Emperors would collapse.

Of course, this didn't include Whitebeard back then—or Elior now.

In fact, Elior's strength might even surpass Whitebeard at his peak.

At least, that was what Big Mom believed.

"The final step is to overthrow the World Government, wipe out the Celestial Dragons, and build a new order."

Elior suspected the Twenty Kings who founded the World Government and later called themselves "the Creators" weren't exactly glorious figures in the Void Century. Who knew what kinds of shameful acts they were trying to bury?

Why else hide the Void Century so desperately?

A guilty conscience, perhaps?

One thing this world had already taught Elior: the victor becomes king, the victor writes history, the victor defines everything.

Elior and Big Mom spoke for over an hour, discussing things that would shake the entire world if anyone overheard them.

At one point, Elior also asked Big Mom about the God Valley Incident.

He wanted to know why Rocks had attacked God Valley, and what made that place so important.

Big Mom's answer shocked him.

God Valley was the Celestial Dragons' burial ground and holy site.

When Rocks led his forces to attack God Valley, many of the most important Celestial Dragons were there for a sacred ceremony.

In Rocks' mind, if those Celestial Dragons were wiped out, the World Government itself would soon collapse.

Just like a kingdom losing its royal family.

Moreover, there were rumors that Uranus, one of the three Ancient Weapons, was hidden on God Valley.

Of course, Rocks had failed in the end.

Big Mom added that God Valley had since been erased from maps.

But Elior found it hard to believe the Celestial Dragons would destroy their own holy ground.

More likely, it had simply been hidden away.

Big Mom also explained that reaching God Valley required a special Eternal Pose, one impossible to buy on the market. How Rocks obtained one in the past was a mystery even to her.

Either way, God Valley was on Elior's list of destinations.

Was Uranus truly there?

Whether it was or not, Elior would see it for himself.

"Linlin, what we discussed today stays between us. Of course, I trust you wouldn't bother telling anyone."

"Of course."

After the meeting, Elior left the conference room and summoned the system. Earlier, when he first entered Whole Cake Chateau, the system had notified him that a sign-in was available, but he hadn't done it yet.
