Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

At this moment,

Brimir completely transformed himself into a body of nothingness, pure nothingness magic forming a tide that spread outward.

At this moment,

Lucius foresaw this scene, activating time reversal magic to allow his decomposed fingers to recover 'slowly'.

In such a fleeting moment,

Nothingness and time contended against each other in concept at his fingertips.

In reality, the recovery process also involved the regenerative effects of flesh magic and blood magic.

However, in the 'battlefield' of nothingness and time,

Even Lucius's own soul magic seemed too insignificant and powerless.

And more Astaroth, the highest-ranking demon, clashing with Brimir.

That's right, the most ruthless clash.

This wasn't a friendly exchange at all, but a battle filled with the former's killing intent!

The reason was simple: Lucius wanted to join the World Government, but Astaroth didn't agree.

So he had to kill Brimir here!

Ultimately, the battle's intensity was determined by the annihilation of half of Lucius's palm by the magic of nothingness.

But the battle didn't determine a victor.

Lucius instantly returned to a position a hundred meters away, his hand already restored to its original state.

Brimir also used 'life' to transform his body, which had turned into nothingness, back into a human form.

This exchange caused significant consumption for both sides.

However, the battle continued.

Lucius—no, his body was completely controlled by Astaroth.

This caused Lucius's consciousness, forcibly 'locked' within his own body and only able to 'see' the outside world, to fall into extreme terror.

"How could this be?!"

"Astaroth, what are you doing!"

"How dare you treat me like this? I am your master!"

As he spoke, he frantically urged the master-servant contract he had initially signed with the demon.

Attempting to restrain and control his 'time demon' with it.

But all his actions received no feedback.

Astaroth was concentrating all his mental energy on fighting Brimir with all his might.

Naturally, he had no time to pay attention to the hysterical Lucius.

In his opinion, the moment Lucius decided to give up going to the Netherworld and join the World Government, he had already betrayed him, and there was no need to continue acting.

"How could this be, how could this be? So you've been lying to me all along"

Lucius's spiritual body 'collapsed' in the darkness deep within his consciousness, muttering softly.

At this moment, he experienced what Julius had been going through all along.

Of course, the latter still didn't know the truth, but was that a blessing or a tragedy?

In any case, Lucius's mood wasn't very pleasant right now.

Outside.

Astaroth, who had taken over the body and become the dominant force, fully activated time magic.

Large-scale time stop!

As a huge black magic circle appeared, moonlight, clouds, night wind, and sea waves completely froze.

Brimir, however, promptly cast a layer of acceleration magic, also related to the laws of time, on himself.

Then he put on a spatial sphere to stabilize the space around him.

This allowed him to move normally in the 'time-stopped' world.

Nothingness magic seemed to touch on both space and time, but it didn't delve deeply into either.

Instead, it was extremely powerful in terms of decomposition and devouring.

And the process of devouring brought a familiar feeling to Astaroth.

It was gravity!

Before this, he had always regarded Lucifer as a target to surpass, so naturally, he wasn't unfamiliar with this law.

But no matter what he was thinking,

It didn't affect the ultra-dimensional chase battle that unfolded in the 'frozen' space-time.

[Boom boom boom boom————]

Thousands of time magic spheres and nothingness light spheres almost covered the entire field.

And they collided with each other extremely fiercely, forming thousands of light explosions and countless energy torrents.

Fortunately, a layer of mirror space had been set up on the periphery beforehand.

Otherwise, not to mention the natural ecology, the entire planet would already be fragmented.

Because time, space, and gravity had completely run wild, and were also mixed with violently trembling soul fluctuations.

Brimir wasn't actually this strong before.

But in recent years, he first absorbed the magic system of the Valhalla world.

Then he studied Haki, Ninjutsu, and Dream Stones, these magical powers from various worlds.

In order to continuously deepen his understanding of nothingness magic and increase its power limit.

His exchanges with Merlin also brought him many benefits.

In short, he became stronger.

So strong that Im believed he could independently suppress the 'time demon' Astaroth.

And this was about to become a reality.

Just as Brimir, who was in the indescribable collision of space-time, suddenly burst out with silver flames in his eyes.

Nothingness magic was released and he fully activated it!

Rings of white light ripples poured out in all directions.

Along the way, the chaotic and intertwined time, space, gravity, soul, blood, and so on,

Actually turned into countless starlight fragments the moment they were swept by the ripples.

Then, they visibly restored to calm.

He indiscriminately released all the supernatural phenomena caused by all the magic on the scene.

Including the mirror space barrier on the outermost periphery.

This allowed the two to reappear in the real world.

But before Astaroth could recover, Brimir injected most of the remaining magic power into 'World Gate', this nothingness magic.

In an instant.

Under the moonlight, in the night sky between the sea and the sky.

Countless teleportation doors appeared and together formed a spatial geometric maze like a kaleidoscope.

It was not a mirror space, but it was far more restrictive than a mirror space.

The most important thing was that Brimir had filled it with the laws of nothingness.

Although it was difficult for him to maintain it for too long with his current strength.

But at least for a very short time, in this 'spatial maze', there would only be the concept of 'non-existence'.

Perhaps this was a bit too abstract.

More specifically, this place was similar to the inside of a black hole.

Whether it was light, matter, energy, even time would disappear.

Only space and gravity were the masters here, while Brimir was watching the darkness from the 'outside'.

Unfortunately, the entire process actually took less than two seconds.

But in those less than two seconds, Astaroth could do nothing.

He could only allow Brimir to pierce through his soul core with chains made of nothingness magic.

"Time is ultimately a variable attached to space. Time without the support of space can never resist the gravity of nothingness, especially since space is in my hands."

Brimir murmured, staring at Lucius, who was sealed in a white light sphere.

In fact, it was still that the other party's soul magic level was too low to be linked with time magic.

Otherwise, the torrent intertwined with time and soul would be enough to contend with space and gravity.

Blood magic and flesh magic were even less worth mentioning.

But one thing needs to be admitted.

It wasn't easy for Brimir to take down Astaroth. At this time, less than a third of the magic power remained in his body.

If the Star Gate hadn't sealed off the timeline of this world, greatly weakening the predictive ability of time magic.

He actually had a considerable chance of losing.

But no matter what, winning was winning. Where is there absolute fairness in the world?

The next second.

Brimir turned into white light and disappeared into the void.

Only the vanished Kairon Island and the surging seawater constantly pouring into the 'pit'.

Could silently prove that a space-time war between 'god' and 'demon' had once broken out here.

Fortunately, it didn't cause too much damage to the world itself.
