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

"Hahaha..."

On one of the demon race airships, Teach's distinctive loud laughter echoed: "What bad luck, Ancestor Yifu, we need to warm up."

As one of the thirty demon forces, they consist of five spaceships and nearly a thousand soldiers. After leaving the Baiy Star Cluster, they are heading towards their target location in the vast depths of space.

Just as they were leaving the Bayy Cluster, a Celestial Dragon spaceship force sped towards them from a thousand kilometers away.

Based on the speed comparison of the two spaceships, they were bound to have a battle in the starry sky.

Inside the airship, the kings, their bodies ablaze with light, were poised to strike, but Figo shook his head: "We're not needed."

Huh? Teach was taken aback. The next moment, a dazzling burst of fire suddenly rose between the Celestial Dragons' spaceships! In an instant, several Celestial Dragons' spaceships turned into fireworks in the starry sky!

"This is……"

"The progenitor Helam?!"

The figure moving through the firelight shocked the demons. Wasn't the progenitor Heram chasing after the eighth Celestial Dragon General?

“Could it be…” Teach murmured.

“The other one is fake,” Figo said.

"Hahaha... Mother really played a brilliant trick. Ancestor Yi Fu, you have a good eye too." Teach said knowingly.

The demons were also invigorated. The gods had been lured away by the fake Helam, and the remaining Celestial Dragons were nothing more than pigs to be slaughtered when facing Helam. It was just that the progenitors Archerlis and Beelzebub would probably have a tough time. They shouldn't be fake, right?

"Let's accelerate the spaceship to full speed," Figo added. "We need to get to our target planet as soon as possible."

Teach paused, then turned and said, "Have you not obeyed the orders of the progenitor Yi Fu? Advance at full speed!"

……

On the other side, Divicevan was caught up.

He was badly beaten, but not as badly as expected. He himself didn't know he was so powerful that he could barely hold on under the siege of the three progenitors of the demon race, and it seemed he could hold on for quite a while.

“Something’s not right…” After parrying Archerlis’s attack once again, Divitzvan shot backward, his gaze fixed on Helam.

"You're not Helam?!"

Beelzebub remained expressionless.

Archeres smiled, revealing her jagged teeth.

Helam also gave a slight smile.

At this moment, the Seventh and Ninth Divine Generals, who had recently been sent to reinforce, finally arrived. Before Divezewan could even shout, Longhuyue scanned the area with her ability and immediately sensed something was amiss. If Heram were present, her Devil Fruit ability would be completely ineffective!

"It's the Thousand-Faced Demon Prince, Sursis!"

"So it really was fake?"

Where did Hram go?

With a quick thought, the Ninth Divine General's expression changed slightly as he said, "It's the fleet that's besieging the Demon Race!"

Archerliss chuckled sharply, "Hehehehe, you reacted quickly. I originally suggested that Lord Heram kill a general first, but Lord Heram said there was still plenty of time and no need to rush. Let's give the Celestial Dragon juniors a little gift first and let them experience the cruelty of war."

"Divicevan, you've escaped with your life!"

Divicevan spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Long Huyue who was coming to greet him. "Have you been notified?"

Long Huyue remained calm: "It's alright, we've also prepared a gift for the demon race."

Hmm? Archerlis's eyes darkened.

The next moment, she turned her head and looked into the distance.

A lightning pillar, over a kilometer in diameter and dazzling even in the vast starry sky, pierced through thousands of miles, leaving a brilliant star trail in the sky. In an instant, it turned several demon race flying ships at the end of the lightning pillar into dust, and countless demon race members died instantly. A few surviving demon race members roared, their bodies charred black, and were swept away into the distance.

At the source of the lightning pillar, a Celestial Dragon, dressed in a divine general's cloak and resembling a girl with crimson hair, stood in the starry sky, with arcs of electricity crackling around her!

"Tch, Ariel? You guys have some nerve, daring to not let her come as reinforcements."

"Because no matter how you scheme, our forces have an absolute advantage." The figure of the Fourth Divine General appeared in an instant.

The four divine generals gathered together, while the demon race only had two progenitors and one demon prince to face them!

The Thousand-Faced Demon Prince said, "Advantage? Do you think that Third Divine General, Misha Ariel, can face Mother alone?"

The fourth general laughed and said, "Then we'll see if the three of you are the first to be defeated."

……

"Hahaha... What a powerful Celestial Dragon's Third General, that was close." Teach's laughter echoed from the distant airship.

“Indeed very strong,” Figo said.

Among the 16 strongest warriors, there are varying strengths and weaknesses. Roughly half are MR3 and half are MR4, making it difficult to determine a winner easily. However, in a protracted battle, one side will eventually lose. The third divine general must also be outstanding among the MR4 warriors, and that lightning pillar should be able to break through his defenses.

However, Helam is probably MR5.

"Thanks to the Ancestor Yifu for reminding us to speed up, if we had been hit, I'm afraid none of you except for Teach the Demon Prince would have survived."

One of the demons mentioned that the demons in the airship immediately cast grateful glances at him.

Teach also remembered and laughed loudly: "The progenitor of the Ibnage has a good eye. It is indeed not easy to take advantage of the Celestial Dragons. Even though we have the initiative, we have only gained a slight advantage."

"Where is the advantage?"

Figo said, "The two battlefields with the highest combat power are evenly matched, and the destroyed Celestial Dragon spaceships probably didn't contain many Celestial Dragons. They were mostly alien troops or machine races recruited by the Celestial Dragons. At most, it was a draw."

Teach was taken aback: "Perhaps, the progenitor of the Yifu had good eyesight..." Did he really have such good eyesight?

Figo ordered, "Keep accelerating, head deeper into space, the war has only just begun."

"Ah, hehehe... speed up!"

Teach gave the order, his eyes darting slyly across Figo's face.

Why does it seem like my general's demeanor is different after we flew out of the Baiyi Star Cluster?

Is it just an illusion?

Chapter 236 Atresen

"The blockade has indeed failed."

An hour later, the Second General received a detailed battle report on the breakout battle.

The high-end combat force suffered no casualties. The demon race paid the price of more than a dozen airships and more than a thousand dead, but also defeated 23 Celestial Dragon airships and killed a hundred Celestial Dragons and more than a thousand reinforcements from various races.

The mechanical race also suffered significant material losses, but for the Celestial Dragons, it was just a drop in the ocean.

It was a close contest with each side having its victories and defeats. In terms of manpower, the Celestial Dragons had the advantage, but the Demon race also successfully broke through the encirclement and swept the battle across the entire starry sky.

A group of guys without territory have a natural advantage when fighting against those who have territory and bases.

However, this outcome was expected.

He turned around and said, "Send people to the Bayi Star Cluster to check the situation. The Demon Race shouldn't have had time to carry out their atrocities of annihilating stars. If the Bayi royal family survives, find them and issue a statement to the stars that, in order to protect the Bayi Star Cluster, we have no choice but to tolerate the Demon Race bringing the war to the entire Central Star Region."

In addition, we remind all parties in the star system to be vigilant against a surprise attack by the Demon Race, to investigate the Demon Race's movements, and to respond to us immediately.

"Contact the Starry Sky News again and get them to intervene. Otherwise, if the demons spread the war to their homeworld, we won't intervene. Also, haven't we found out where Gaston Figo is?"

How could such a powerful being from the cosmos suddenly disappear without a trace? The other three Yonko, the four cosmic pirates, are all within sight.

The Starry Sky News has become even more confident with the addition of a supreme powerhouse like Gaston Figo. What a nuisance...

"Keep in touch with him, contact Qinghai."

With a command, the Second God continued to remotely command the Celestial Dragons forces, and more spaceships departed from Celestial Dragon Star, flying into the starry sky.

……

The preparations for this war lasted for a month, with demons from all over the world gathering and the Celestial Dragons recruiting powerful individuals from all sides to form an army. By the time the war truly broke out, all parties in the cosmos had already made preparations.

Including La Ke, the other 12 kings of the Starry Sky News have already returned to their respective home planets to guard their territory.

Upon receiving another summons from the Celestial Dragons, they discussed the matter and decided to wait and see for the time being.

But some planets cannot be avoided.

For example, Felix.

In a Western-style palace complex, a young man was looking at the sky. Seeing that the originally azure sky was covered with a thin layer of green, he revealed a look of worry and anger.

Unlike ordinary humans, his ears were extremely large, drooping down to his shoulders, belonging to a unique race that was not numerous in the star system—the Big-Eared Race.

They are the nominal rulers of this planet, but the actual rulers are the Celestial Dragons.

All this is because the planet Ful possesses a unique mineral—red quartz—which can be transformed into highly efficient fuel for airships in a special way. Furthermore, the Fulminates have never had a king who can ignite four lamps, making it impossible for them to refuse the Celestial Dragons' entry.

They were usually quite well-off, but the royal family of Ful felt a bit stifled only when facing the Celestial Dragons who lived on Ful.

But things have changed in the past month.

"Damn Celestial Dragons..."

"Prince Tutu!" The guard beside him heard him complaining in a low voice and quickly reminded him.

"Uncle Alex, look at all this polluting smog in the sky! If the Celestial Dragons' factories keep operating like this, Planet Ful will be destroyed!"

The guard, Alex, also looked grim, but he still tried to comfort him, saying, "The Celestial Dragons need a lot of fuel for their airships during the war. They can't afford to worry about the pollution of Ful Star right now, so they can only bear with it. Prince Tutu, things will be fine once this period passes."

“Endure…” the prince murmured, “But even my father has been conscripted into the war… I wonder if he will encounter any danger.”

"It's alright, the king is the one who lights two lamps, he will be fine."

Two lamps? Compared to the Celestial Dragons and the Demon Race, that's just mid-level combat power...

Seeing that the prince's expression was still grim, the guard Alex advised again, "Prince, we can only blame the demons, blame them for rebelling against the Celestial Dragons... You must not show your dissatisfaction in front of the Celestial Dragons. Perform well, and when you become a Celestial Dragon and one of them, everything will be alright."

"The Demon Clan...to become one of the Celestial Dragons...the Demon Clan..."

Prince Tutu repeated it several times, looking somewhat disappointed and forlorn. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up at the sky, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

Several jet-black flying ships had somehow entered the planet's protective membrane and were emerging from the clouds, heading straight for their royal palace!

"That's a demon race flying boat?!" The prince looked at the guard: "Demon race?"

The guard, Alex, changed his expression drastically. His shouts rose into the sky, and figures floated in the air from inside and outside the palace, watching the demon race's flying boat warily.

However, the kings who lit the two lamps were all summoned away, which shows how powerful these people were.

When a female demon with purple horns flew out of the demon race's airship, the overwhelming pressure instantly shattered everyone's fighting spirit, plunging them into despair.
