Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

"So that's how it is."

After hearing Blee Lemiel's words, Lucius realized that he had indeed misunderstood.

The future timelines he had seen before did not include him being killed on the spot.

The clearest futures all involved him being brought into the Star Gate.

Adding to what the other party mentioned about the Star God Temple, Lucius, who was confident in his intelligence and strength, somewhat guessed the 'truth'.

It was possible that the 'Starfish Creator' wanted him to submit and become one of his Star Gods.

That's why he ordered this 'God of Emptiness,' Blee Lemiel, to capture him.

The reason it wasn't an invitation or a polite recruitment was probably because the 'Starfish Creator' had a rather domineering personality, preferring to give people a show of force first.

The more Lucius thought about it, the more likely it seemed, which quickly diminished the sense of crisis in his heart.

After all, there was a high probability that he wouldn't die, and more importantly, he wouldn't have to join the Underworld and abandon his human identity to become a demon.

If he had a choice.

He would prefer to join a human force like the World Government.

Then secretly plan and strategize from within.

Step by step, he would rise to a higher position, until he replaced the Supreme Leader and controlled the entire organization in his own hands.

Just like how he used Julius to become the Magic Emperor.

Moreover, Lucius was quite curious about the World Government, as well as the 'Starfish Creator' who inspired fear in him.

After all, the changes in this world's timeline must be inseparable from him.

All of this made Lucius's face regain its usual calm smile.

"It seems we will soon become colleagues. It would be good to spar with you."

He was both showing goodwill, expressing his attitude, and wanting to demonstrate his strength.

Lest he be looked down upon by the other party and other Star Gods in the future.

"Oh?"

Blee Lemiel on the opposite side raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the change in Lucius's mentality.

But he hadn't lived these six thousand years in vain and immediately understood the other party's thoughts.

It was true.

Blee Lemiel also felt that Imu wanted to take Lucius as a Star God.

No matter how you looked at it, this guy was a talent.

His own soul magic, plus the body magic from his younger brother, the blood magic from his younger sister, and the time magic of Astaroth within his body.

His comprehensive strength was definitely qualified to join the Star God Temple.

This wasn't him being arrogant, but rather having confidence in Imu's judgment.

Since he was sent to deal with Lucius.

That meant Imu-sama believed he had the ability to subdue the other party.

Was there anything wrong with this logic?

At this time, night was falling.

The boundless dark sea below surged with silver-gray crests.

The blue robes on Blee Lemiel's body glowed with a shimmering white light, like a flowing galaxy.

In particular, the trajectory of his fingertips created faint cracks in the void.

As for Lucius on the opposite side, the white hair and red clothes originally belonging to Julius.

Visibly changed into white hair and black clothes with more characteristics of the Spade Kingdom.

Because he was originally from the Spade Kingdom.

Although the change in clothing had no impact on his strength, it represented Lucius's mentality.

That is, from now on, there will be no more Julius, only Lucius.

This was considered a complete abandonment of everything in the Clover Kingdom, and even everything in this world, determined to completely embrace the World Government.

His black robe began to surge in the sea breeze like a deep abyss.

The void behind him gradually filled with a blood-colored mist, and the mist formed the dark outline of a demon.

[Crack, crack, crack]

The two were about a hundred meters apart, suspended under the stars and moon, above the sea.

The ethereal white light and the blood color of the demon collided here, creating cracks in the conceptual space.

Lucius took the lead in activating time acceleration.

Before the afterimage in the original position disappeared, Blee Lemiel was already shrouded in a 'time ball' that appeared out of thin air.

But this was also just an afterimage left behind by a space teleportation.

Lucius was not surprised and immediately turned into hundreds of afterimages to chase after him.

Blee Lemiel's illusory magic phantoms unfolded simultaneously.

The two sides' intertwined avatars used the entire night sky and ocean as a battlefield, crisscrossing each other.

Time acceleration and space teleportation fiercely attacked each other in silence.

The naked eye could only see time balls constantly appearing and disappearing.

The seawater solidified into an eternally splashing posture within it.

Even the blooming white light and the passing night wind were frozen in mid-air.

At this time, on the surface of the turbulent sea, a strange magic circle with a diameter of nearly a hundred kilometers, glowing with a scarlet light, suddenly formed.

The next moment.

The originally pitch-black ocean was instantly dyed red with blood and turned into thousands of streams of water.

Then, it was attached with time acceleration magic and joined the team chasing and intercepting Blee Lemiel.

These were all the blood of countless creatures in the sea.

Who knew that these dense streams of blood would disappear without a trace after approaching Blee Lemiel within three meters.

They touched a circle of white light appearing around his body.

At the same time.

Lucius's side was attacked by streams of blood from all directions.

Space transfer of the Void Magic World Gate!

"Hmph."

Lucius sneered, and a circle of time magic balls that spread outward also burst out from his body.

All the approaching blood water flowed back the way it came.

Thus, a bizarre and scalp-numbing space-time disorder appeared on the scene.

Seeing this, Blee Lemiel had no intention of stalemate, and dazzling white light immediately bloomed between his hands, which were held out in front of him.

In an instant.

All the blood streams disappeared wherever the white light swept.

Even the island with the central rock layer dug away, and the surrounding sea area within a hundred kilometers.

Also silently turned into ashes in this process, forming an extremely terrifying vast sea pit.

Void Magic Decomposition!

If Onoki and Uchiha Madara saw this scene, they would understand that their mastery of Dust Release was far from enough.

It was just that Blee Lemiel realized that if this continued, the ecology of this world would inevitably collapse.

The two sides had only exchanged blows for a minute.

Immediately stepping on his feet, white light spread, and the space began to appear like a layer of glass, with crackling sounds and folds.

Mirror Space!

Lucius did not stop him when he saw this.

Otherwise, a simple time reversal would be enough to restore everything to its original state.

After all, in his opinion, this was just a spar between future colleagues.

But this did not mean that Lucius would give up the opportunity to win.

He immediately completed 'Demon Assimilation' with the 'Time Demon' Astaroth in his body.

At the same time, he appeared behind Blee Lemiel like a phantom.

All of this happened in an instant when the latter created the mirror space.

The blackened right hand wrapped around the scarlet blood flow 'slowly' approached Blee Lemiel's nape.

As long as he could touch the skin, even just a hair.

Time magic could determine the outcome. At the same time, he also launched a soul tremor.

The invisible wave of soul magic was also sweeping towards Blee Lemiel.

Just to affect the other party's spirit and will, even if it was just a slight tremor.

However, at this critical moment.

Blee Lemiel's decomposition magic erupted like a black hole, devouring himself, and also devouring everything around him, and even time and space itself.

"What?"

Lucius, who was close at hand, could only watch helplessly as his fingertips and blood flow were devoured bit by bit.
