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

“Because of justice,” Figo said.

"Justice?" Ya Sheng whispered.

Their eyes met.

They collide with each other.

Under everyone's gaze, one fist was covered with a jet-black luster, while the other fist was covered with a strange red and black color. They collided with the air, creating brilliant sparks!

Crashed!

The sky was split open like an upside-down bucket, turning the clear daylight into a starry sky. The shining stars seemed to tremble as the two collided, and the earth below sank thousands of meters under the pressure of the wind!

Amidst the world-ending upheaval, the surrounding area within tens of thousands of miles became flickering and constantly changing in brightness.

Heram and the four divine generals, who were far away, also had to use their own methods to resist the aftershocks, their eyes fixed on the center of the collision.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds of spatial explosions, the black hole created by the collision between the two slowly healed, revealing the situation of the two at the center of the collision.

Figo's right fist landed on Ya Sheng's left chest, and Ya Sheng's right fist also landed on Figo's left chest. Although they were punching each other, for some reason they both hit their opponent's body!

"It's Lord Yasheng's upside-down result!"

The gods understood.

The Reverse Fruit is a nearly unbeatable ability, only countered by the Progenitor's sealing power.

Reversing the attack, reversing the damage, reversing everything—just now, Ya Sheng clearly reversed the direction of his attack, from left to right, which is why their punches didn't collide.

A lose-lose, meaningless move?

No, it's two things reversed here!

Figo's punch that landed on Yasheng was also reversed by Yasheng's ability to reverse.

So... in this exchange, Lord Yasheng landed two punches on the King of Qinghai at the same time!

Upon making this judgment, the gods relaxed slightly. Lord Yasheng's ability was indeed unbeatable, a nemesis of brute force. The King of Qinghai was indeed too arrogant!

But the next moment, they saw Ya Sheng cough up a mouthful of blood, and then his face turned an unnatural red as he quickly retreated.

"This is impossible!" Divicevan exclaimed, his initial elation turning into a shock.

The other three also felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

What methods did the King of Qinghai use?

Just as you're about to strike Lord Yasuke, pull back your strength, causing Lord Yasuke to fall onto you.

Or was it the sealing power of the Demon Ancestor that temporarily sealed Lord Yasheng's abilities? Or was the inversion broken through by some unknown means?

Shanks sighed inwardly: As expected, Lord Figo is really going to become the strongest in the starry sky, just as those marines in the Blue Sea who blindly trusted him thought!

He distanced himself from Figo and stared intently at him, while Ya Sheng remained silent for a moment.

There is no solution for inverted fruits of the same level.

The brightest light of his fruit signifies his invincibility in a certain sense. The reason he has served as the number one divine general for seven hundred years is because no divine general has been stronger than him in these seven hundred years!

Even though two kings emerged along the way who lit the five lamps, their strength did not surpass his when they first advanced!

Without the ability to seal, Heram would have been killed by him hundreds of years ago! The number of supreme beings in the starry sky who have died at his hands is more than three!

But this time, it didn't work.

If Figo had used some special technique, that would be one thing, but judging from that attack just now, Figo... hadn't used anything at all!

They didn't even use any sealing abilities!

He surpassed the limits of his ability through his own upright and purely personal strength!

It was a complete and utter suppression by strength!

The power of that punch was inexhaustible!

Five lamps? No, more than that.

There were less than six lamps, an unprecedented number.

Just as the four lamps are divided into ordinary strongmen and the 16 strongest beings in the starry sky, there are naturally differences among the strongmen who light all five lamps!

And Figo, that's the gap right now!

“No wonder he’s a descendant of 13 kings,” Ya Sheng said hoarsely. “An unprecedented physique.”

Figo repeated for the fourth time: "I'm here to end this war."

Ya Sheng looked at him, remained silent for a moment, then turned and retreated towards the four generals and Shanks.

He was not afraid to fight to the death, nor was he afraid to sacrifice himself, but there was no need to fight to the death in a pointless manner.

With such a powerful figure like Figo on the side of the demon race, even the seven five-lamp powerhouses would find it difficult to deal with or resolve the situation; they would need his strength!

"Evacuate," he said to the generals, whose faces were still filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

"Wait!" Figo interrupted, pulling two drafts of the Starry Sky Newspaper from his pocket and launching them with special technique, targeting Long Huyue and Helam respectively: "Take a look, this news should have already been released to the stars."

Heram took the newspaper and reviewed it, his eyes taking in all the details. His mind reeling, he crumpled the newspaper in his fist: "Lucifer... even the plan to liberate the demon race was deliberate?! Should I thank you Celestial Dragons?!"

Long Huyue on the opposite side reacted similarly. In a moment of distraction, she transmitted the contents of the newspaper to the other five people through telepathy, the key being Yasheng.

The fact that the dentist did not deny it means that the information in the newspaper is true.

It really was a valuable experience.

In order to confront Lucifer, the King of Demons.

Creating a formidable enemy for oneself, after hundreds of years of battles? No, not a formidable enemy. With seven Five-Lamp Ancestors present, how could it be considered a formidable enemy?

But now... with the King of Qinghai present, Helam has also lit the fifth lamp...

Has it really become a formidable enemy?

There was too much information for the gods to process, and they all felt somewhat uneasy.

Figo added, “Using the starry sky as a chessboard, causing centuries of war and countless innocent deaths, I don’t think everyone is cold-hearted. If you gradually understand everything, feel you’ve been fooled, and can’t accept the decision of those seven, Qinghai welcomes you to join us anytime.”

The group looked on in astonishment.

Figo nodded slightly to Ariel, Longhuyue, and the Ninth God General. Yes, I'm talking about you.

Ya Sheng took the report, casually crumpled it into pieces, and said again, "Evacuate!"

Chapter 266 Heram's Choice

The five gods and Shanks disappeared outside the planet's protective membrane, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Helam gazed at the sky, staring in the direction they had disappeared, his gaze lingering for a long time.

She had been preparing for this war for years, calculating Yasheng's personality and arrogance, and using her own son's abilities to create an opportunity to kill Yasheng. In the end, however, she had no choice but to watch Yasheng and his group leave smoothly and accept the 'mediation' of an outsider, Figo.

The Celestial Dragons possess the power to annihilate the Demon Race at any time, and the Demon Race's resistance has always been nothing more than a grand spectacle that suits their purposes!

The pain in her heart was indescribable. Clutching the draft article of the Starry Sky Newspaper, she wanted to stop it several times, but had to restrain herself.

A tear slid down her right eye, and Nimeir cried out in shock, "Mother?!"

"fine."

It was just a single tear.

Helam only allowed himself to be weak for a moment.

After her tears fell, her expression returned to its coldness, reverting to that of the First Ancestor who single-handedly supported the Demon Race. She handed the report to the three Demon Princes and faced Figo.

"King of Qinghai, over the years, you are the only human who has dared to openly support our demon race. On behalf of the demon race, I thank you for destroying the Demon Suppression Prison and for coming today."

“There are many ‘demon’ who support the demon race. I dare to stand up only because I am confident in my own strength. In recent years, Qinghai has also sent many demons to Tianlong Star. I hope you can understand,” Figo said.

Helam can understand.

Behind her are countless demons, and behind Figo are countless Qinghai people. For the sake of their people, they sometimes have to do things they don't want to do.

She ignored that topic and asked the question she most wanted to know: "Was your demon bloodline innate, or did you acquire it later through some kind of experiment? And how do you usually hide the characteristics of your demon bloodline completely?"

“I am somewhat special.” Figo shook his head and said, “The specific circumstances cannot be replicated, but I am not a demon, so I am not considered one of your kind.”

Seeing that Figo didn't intend to elaborate, Helam didn't press further. However, based on the content of the previous report and the 'unusual' nature of Figo's answer, he made some guesses.

Ten thousand years ago, there should have been 13 kings from various tribes. It was perfectly normal for different tribes to intermarry over the past ten thousand years. Perhaps most people in Qinghai have multiple bloodlines, but only Figo brought it out.

As for the demon bloodline... Teach, who hails from Qinghai, possesses two abilities...

"Could it be that you chose to help our demon race because you might have inherited Lucifer's bloodline?" Heram asked, speculating.

"No, quite the opposite. I believe you have nothing to do with Lucifer, which is why I'm helping you. Ancestor Heram, I want to know, if Lucifer were to be resurrected in a few years and turn the entire starry sky into a demon realm again, what would you choose?"

Helam remained silent for a moment.

Her mind flashed through images of her children who had died in battle over the past eight hundred years, and the kind smiles on their faces when they called her "Mother."

She turned around and looked at the Thousand-Faced Demon Prince, whose face was full of rage after reading the report, the Black Tortoise Demon Prince, who was silent with a gloomy expression, and Nimer, whose eyes were filled with tears.

From Figo's words, she could guess what the best answer to this question was. In order to win Figo's help, she should give Figo the answer he wanted, but she... didn't want to!

Her experiences over the years have made it impossible for her to utter words of help for the Starry Sky races, not even as a pretense. She has never harbored any ambition to destroy the Starry Sky; she only sought survival, and was merely led by the Celestial Dragons to become an enemy of the entire Starry Sky.

The time she spent newly created, before she had a chance to explore the stars and live happily with her children, is the time she misses most.

But everything is irreversible.

She looked at Figo and said firmly, "I will follow Lucifer and take revenge on the Celestial Dragons!"

Figo's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "If Lucifer were to be killed by me or us immediately after his resurrection, what would you choose?"

Helam paused slightly, then said, "Then I beg the King of Qinghai to give my people a way to survive. I am willing to accept any of your arrangements."

“Then can I make some arrangements in advance? At least before Lucifer is resurrected, it will reduce your casualties,” Figo said. “If in the end I am no match for Lucifer or even die, it’s not too late for you to follow Lucifer.”

Heram paused again, looking at Figo with some complicated feelings, and said, "King of the Azure Sea, if all humans could be like you... Thank you!"

The neglected King of Collectors tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds and obtained information about the Land of Immortality, but the result did not make him very happy.

"Damn Celestial Dragons, are they treating everyone like fools?!"
