I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

"At present, yes."

In the Central Star Region, demons are annihilated as soon as they show their faces. Apart from the direct battlefields established through tacit agreements with the Celestial Dragons, there is no place where demons can occupy for an extended period.

Even the three progenitors of the demon races had to frequently change the planets they lived on.

Is this an attempt to establish a permanent foothold?

The Celestial Dragons could not allow it, because the speed at which the Demon race could produce offspring through cloning using the bloodline of the progenitor was far too fast. If they had a rear base where they could recuperate and rebuild, they could expand the population to its maximum in a short period of time!

Long Huyue said, "Lord Lolett, even if Helam lit the fifth lamp, the power gap between the demon race and us is still enormous. Helam should know this. Even though it is difficult to conduct interstellar interception in a place like the Baiyi Star Cluster, it still poses a great risk to the demon race."

“I know, that’s why we must mobilize all available forces. Whatever schemes the demons may have, we will crush them fair and square!” Lolett said in a deep voice, “King of the Azure Sea, are you listening? I am Lolett, the second general of the Celestial Dragons, and I beg for your help.”

“I’m listening, and I will help.” Figo thought for a moment and said, “However, I will not follow you. I have my own ideas and personal goals—Beelzebub. I will definitely appear on the battlefield when the time is right.”

“That’s enough, Long Huyue. Return to Tianlong Star as soon as possible,” Lolett said.

"Yes."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ryuko had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Figo. After nodding slightly to apologize for her earlier rudeness, she took off.

Also departing at the same time was the Eighth Divine General, who was lurking in the shadows.

"An unexpected display of strength."

Figo had assumed the Celestial Dragons would try to win him over and would be very polite, but he never expected that it would be Ryuko, who had the ability to read minds, who came instead.

If it weren't for Heram's sudden lighting of the lamps disrupting the rhythm, Figo might have already asked about Eisen.

"It's Beelzebub's fault, isn't it?"

Figo opened the prison file, found Ana's corresponding page, and used the clues from the characters and events to point to Beelzebub, discovering that he was moving at high speed.

The target should be the Baye Star Cluster.

Figo fell into deep thought.

……

Soon, the shock of Figo killing Ares and becoming the new supreme being had not yet dissipated when the news of Heram lighting the fifth lamp and killing the fifth god general once again ignited the entire starry sky!

After 3200 years, the strongest being in the starry sky who lit the five lamps has reappeared, and it is still a demon race, bringing an even greater shock.

Countless planets were filled with unease, and countless powerful beings who had eaten Devil Fruits harbored deep concerns.

Of course, there will always be many opportunists who thrive on chaos and feel delighted.

Those pirates who want to succeed Ares as the new Four Emperors will not only not be deterred by this, but will feel even more relaxed... because this way, the Celestial Dragons will have no time to deal with them.

Compared to the pirates reveling in the festivities, Heram lit the fifth lamp, and among the revelers, the demons, struggling for survival, were also included.

It was truly a ray of hope in adversity.

They finally saw an opportunity to counterattack.

The signal that Heram had taken over the Baiy Star Cluster was very clear. At first, the scattered demons hesitated, but after the arrival of the other two progenitors, Archeris and Beelzebub, and the arrival of the progenitor legions of the demon sons, most of the demons immediately headed towards Baiy Star.

As the days went by, the number of demons gathering in the Baiy Star Cluster increased.

The Celestial Dragons, however, did not launch an attack for a long time, but instead engaged in small-scale battles against the demon race that had gathered in the vicinity of the Bayy Star Cluster.

They have too many things to consider.

The three progenitors of the demon race are all gathered, including Heram, who lit five lamps, and six demon sons who lit four lamps. In addition, there are the powerful demons (other races that stand on the same side as the demon race). Only by mobilizing several god generals and god general candidates can we be sure of winning.

Even if all the gods were to be sent out, they might not be able to secure the kill of the progenitor of the demon race!

If too many people are deployed, what if someone raids our base?

Will the remaining three Yonko (Four Emperors of the Sea) take advantage of the situation to do something? Perhaps they'll try to plunder or take advantage of the chaos?

The Demon Suppression Prison and the Devil Fruit Treasury on Tianlong Star are places that cannot be lost.

The reactions of the various races cannot be ignored. They have not forgotten that a thousand years ago, it was the allied forces of the various races that launched a surprise attack on the Celestial Dragons' demon breeding base, resulting in the leak of the demon fruits.

What if it happened again?

No one would be happy to see the demon race occupy the stars, but if the Celestial Dragons could suffer heavy losses, all races would probably be very happy.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Celestial Dragons might be planning to gather enough demons to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

A war is about to sweep across the central star region. The 13 kings of the Star Newspaper, including Figo, are frequently holding meetings to discuss the matter, and the Star Newspaper headquarters on Pistes Star has also been established.

About half a month after the headlines of Figo killing Ares and Heram killing the Fifth God General, a new demon companion arrived on the Baiy Cluster.

This demon was over six meters tall, with purple horns on its head and an unremarkable face, but its muscles were very prominent beneath its black clothes.

The powerful demon warrior on guard immediately went to greet them: "Alone?"

"Body King?"

"Is it the ancestor or a child?"

"The progenitor," the demon replied, activating his sealing power.

The arriving demon warriors were astonished to find that they could not activate their bloodline abilities. They exchanged surprised glances – their team included a king who had lit two lamps. In other words, was this unfamiliar demon ancestor a king who was at least at the third level of bloodline lamps?

The power of sealing belongs exclusively to the progenitor, a feature that is even more irrefutable than overwhelming evidence.

They immediately became more respectful: "May I ask how this ancestor is addressed? Why did you come alone? Where are your children?"

“My name is Yifu,” the progenitor of the demon race replied. “I have no children.”

Chapter 227 Reunion with Yana

No children?

"What? Do I need to tell you all my experiences and background first?"

"Oh no, please come with us." Seeing the cold expression on the face of the newly arrived progenitor Yifu, the members of the demon patrol automatically filled in many blanks and revealed a sense of shared hatred.

It's no wonder they think so much; these days, eight out of ten demons struggling in the starry sky will have some painful memories.

If a demon progenitor says he has no children, then the whereabouts of his children are obvious; asking further questions would only reopen old wounds.

"Hmph, those damned Celestial Dragons!"

"Rest assured, Ancestor Yi Fu, the days of being hunted down will never come again."

"We will get everything back!"

Leading the way, these demon patrol members comforted Ifu, one after another.

But Yi Fu did not respond, which made them think that the newly arrived progenitor of the demon race was saddened by the past, and they gradually quieted down.

Their confidence is quite high, is it because of Heram's solo kill of the Fifth God General? Figo thought to himself.

There shouldn't be anyone who wouldn't notice.

Ivo was Figo in disguise.

With the power of Figo, which contains demon blood, transforming into a demon is incredibly easy for him. No one else in the starry sky has such a unique advantage in disguising themselves as a demon.

As for the purpose of his disguise, it was naturally to find a way to make a fortune, to act according to circumstances, and to see if he could create an opportunity to be alone with Beelzebub and have a romantic encounter.

Of course, one must also proceed with caution.

If he were exposed in a place that is equivalent to the stronghold of the demon race, and were surrounded and attacked, even Figo would probably get a severe beating, and there is even a small chance that his life would be in danger.

During the flight, he observed his surroundings.

The Baye Cluster is similar to the Firethorn Cluster in the Eastern Cosmic Ocean, but unlike the Firethorn Cluster with its five nearby stars, the Baye Cluster has a total of nine nearby stars, two large and seven small, thus occupying a vast area of ​​space.

To blockade such a star cluster in the sky is ten thousand times more difficult than to blockade a single planet. Even the Celestial Dragons do not have that many flying ships, warships, and troops. This is why Heram chose this place.

On the other hand, seven of the nine planets in the Baiy Cluster are habitable, inhabited by more than a dozen races and hundreds of billions of people, which would also make the Celestial Dragons somewhat wary.

Figo landed on the sixth star of the Bay Cluster. The area was originally extremely prosperous, but now the city and towns were all eerily quiet, with every household staying indoors and a sense of panic pervading the place.

Perhaps because they were taken hostage, the demon race did not cause unnecessary bloodshed, nor did they attempt to destroy a planet.

However, anything that doesn't cause harm is harmless.

When Figo was led by the patrol to the outside of a huge manor that was the size of an ordinary small town, a newly erected high platform not far from the manor gate caught his eye.

On that high platform stood dozens of iron stakes, and dozens of ragged, dying people were bound to them with heavy chains!

"Who are they?"

Upon hearing this, Patrol Captain Poole explained to Figo, "They are all rebels from Planet Six, most of them are Celestial Dragons. Ancestor Ifu, you arrived too late, otherwise you would have had a chance to lash them a couple of times and enjoy their fear."

"No, that won't do. We can't let them get away with this so easily, these guys can't just die like that..."

The Baiyi Star Cluster is a life-bearing star cluster guarded and protected by the Celestial Dragons. This place should be the Celestial Dragons' residence on Star Six.

However, it has now been conscripted by the demon race.

Figo didn't have his Observation Haki activated, so he didn't rashly scan the room with it. However, he knew that there was someone he knew inside, which was why he had landed there.

The commotion caused two of the Celestial Dragons, who were bound to the high platform, to barely open their eyes and mumble something.

Poole scoffed dismissively, then said to Figo, "The one in charge of guarding this Star Six is ​​the Demon Princess Yana. You know the Demon Princess Yana, right?"

"Beelzebub's daughter?"

“Haha, that’s all in the past,” Poole laughed. “Now, the Demon Child Yana has broken away from Beelzebub and joined the ranks of the great Progenitor Helam, becoming the fifth Demon Child among the Progenitor’s children.”

"Fifth?" Figo was surprised by both Yana's transfer and this number.

As the first progenitor of the demon race, the demon sons under Heram's command were different from Beelzebub, who was a demon race that lit four lamps!

As far as Figo knows, there should only be three, so how did a fifth one appear?

"Hahaha, how can we let everyone in the starry sky know just how powerful our demon race is? Six of them! Even ignoring the newly joined Demon Child Yana, the progenitor Heram originally had five demon children under his command!" A demon said excitedly to Figo.

They probably only learned of this news after arriving at the Bayy Cluster. What could be more inspiring than this?

“Just like you, Ancestor Yifu, if it weren’t for this gathering, we would never have known that there was such a powerful person among our people who could light three lamps. Who knows, maybe a fourth ancestor will suddenly appear sometime?” Poole added.

Hiding their power? Figo smiled slightly and said, "I hope so."

Having said this, a sense of closeness finally emerged, and Pull said, "I will first take you, Ancestor Ifu, to see Lady Yana. Soon, you should be able to receive a personal audience with Ancestor Helam."

Figo added, "I hope so."

Soon, he met Yana in the center of this luxurious manor that originally belonged to the Celestial Dragons.

Compared to 14 years ago, Yana's appearance is almost unchanged. For a demon like her with a lifespan of over two hundred years, whether she is 110 or 120 years old makes no difference. However, she seems to have a somewhat melancholy expression.
