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

Plai and Jimora were shocked.

Is Donald also a demon?

Figo said, "This is no coincidence."

Grat pulled out a book, dusted it off, and continued, "Well... about 2400 years ago, I sent out a little fellow named Belial. He was extremely talented, and after entering the demon race, he changed his name to Baal. Of course, people don't usually call him that anymore; he gave himself a resounding title—the Holy Demon King!"

Incredulity crossed Pry and Jimora's faces: "What did you say?!"

Did you send the Holy Demon King away?

To what extent has my mermaid race been infiltrated? When did the Holy Demon King have any experience living in the mermaid kingdom?

And this guy... just who is he...?

A hint of surprise flashed in Figo's eyes.

Grat said strangely, "It wasn't that traitor who betrayed the king who told you? That's odd. That little brat Bal shouldn't be so quick to leak secrets, and he shouldn't have mind-reading abilities either..."

He pondered for a moment, then said, "That's him. 3200 years ago, the Fire Star of the Lamp, which had been sealed for more than 6800 years, welcomed a special visitor from the starry sky. It was the first king of the starry sky in this era to light five lamps, a guy with the potential and ability to break through the seal of the Fire Star of the Lamp."

I carefully devised a plan to trap him, then replaced him with a younger generation who took his appearance and actions, and went to the starry sky to establish Tianlong Star.

As for Rillentorff, I trapped him for nearly two hundred years.

That guy was extraordinary. An ordinary person couldn't endure two hundred years of solitude. I thought he was on his last legs, but he still managed to escape. The establishment of the human kingdom of Kepri seems to have some connection to him. The Skeleton Emperor, Sauti Bareru, should have met him too. Coupled with Bareru's exposure, what have you deduced?

Jimora took a step back in shock.

Pray was completely unable to react.

What is he? What?!

3200 years? Two hundred years of imprisonment in Rillentof? How long has he actually lived?!

Previously, the record for the lifespan of the Lamp Star was held by the Lamp King Wan Gang, who had just fallen and was two years older than the Skeleton Emperor. But at this moment, Wan Gang and the Skeleton Emperor are far inferior!

He had never worried about whether Figo would be able to handle the situation once he found the enemy.

Even though this enemy has trapped King Norton and King Grinning, the King of the Stars is the strongest being in ten thousand years, capable of fighting two against one and slaying a Demon Pillar in a single day.

But this guy in front of me...

“No, no, none of these are right,” Figo said. “You’re having a good time guessing, shall we continue?”

“Actually, it’s not entirely about guessing the source of the leak,” Grat said. “What I’m more interested in is… that it’s been hidden here for over three thousand years, and it was all leaked because of a reckless junior and a naive mermaid princess, who just happened to be mother and son… by sheer coincidence?!”

This old man is truly...unable to accept this!

His voice gradually became hoarse, and the old, dead skin on his face cracked as a result. Demonic horns sprouted from his forehead, and a surging aura spread out: "But! If you want to kill me, you'd better be prepared to turn the Merfolk Kingdom upside down!"

"Really? Give it a try."

Outside the shattered door frame, the eldest prince, Pulei, who was shielding his eyes from the wind pressure with his arm, was stunned.

Phew... You made it sound so mysterious, so all you had to do to face the King of the Stars was threaten the people of the Mermaid Kingdom? And then there's the Holy Demon King and Rilen Torvor, you almost scared me to death...

Chapter 355 The Time Corridor

Having anticipated that the enemy was hiding inside the sacrificial temple, Pray had already dispatched powerful warriors as he and Figo arrived, not to help Figo, but to prevent the battle from affecting ordinary people.

However, what Glat had said earlier was still too intimidating. After Glat made the threat, he breathed a sigh of relief but was also slightly worried. He turned to Grandma Gimora and said, "Leave this to the King of the Stars?"

"Well, let's go!"

With a powerful push of his cane, Gimora and Plai vanished, leaving only Figo and Grat behind.

But after issuing the threat, Grat continued wiping the bookshelf, seemingly completely unprepared for Figo beside him.

Figo observed the surrounding environment before saying, "It really is a time-based ability."

Bang!

With a horizontal punch, he slammed the old face into Grat's face. After a brief moment of contortion, the old face, with its cracked skin, suddenly vanished like a phantom!

Grath's figure then vanished.

At the same time, the scene before Figo's eyes changed rapidly, as if a phantom was distorting!

On the other side, Plai and Jimora, who had arrived at the outer square, were loudly directing the assembled three- and four-lamp kings of both races, keeping a watchful eye on any movements from the temple.

Suddenly, their expressions also wavered, their vision shifted from darkness to light, and the scene that appeared made Pray's heart skip a beat.

Without realizing it, he found himself back inside the sacrificial hall, back at the entrance of the library!

Grandma Jimora is beside me.

Ahead was Grath wiping the bookshelf clean, and beside Grath was Figo.

What happened? Was that just a hallucination?

Wait a minute, didn't Grat already reveal his demon identity and grow horns? Why has he reverted to human form?

Could it be... that was also an illusion?

"By a twist of fate, by a twist of fate."

Grat suddenly smiled, shook his head, and said, "What a twist of fate."

More than 1,400 years ago, I sent a little guy named Ami out of the sea, out of the constellation of Light and Fire, and into the starry sky.

He did a good job, using the alias Donald, joining the Celestial Dragons, and even influencing the course of the universe for a time, but unfortunately, you ruined it in the end..."

Pry's pupils dilated instantly.

Didn't I already say that?

He turned to look at Gimora, then at Figo's expression, only to find that neither of them showed any unusual reaction.

Figo replied as before.

Grath also spoke of the Holy Demon King, which shocked Gimora, and then spoke of Rilentor, which made Gimora stagger backward.

At this moment, his continued indifference and glances around finally drew a strange, thoughtful look from Figo, unlike anything he had experienced before. And just then, Grat, as before, threatened Figo as a citizen of the Mermaid Kingdom.

"Really? Give it a try."

Figo's answer remained unchanged.

Pulei looked slightly dazed and tentatively turned his head to ask, "Grandma Jimora, shall we leave this to the King of the Stars?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Jimora gave a powerful jolt with her cane and vanished in an instant. Pray didn't even catch up. After a three-second pause, she hurriedly followed.

As he repeatedly arranged the two kings' positions, Pray mentally calculated the time, feeling that it was similar to the previous 'illusion'. He entered a familiar trance before his eyes, and the scene changed.

Back again!

"By a twist of fate, by a twist of fate..."

What kind of ability is this?! Pulei clenched his fists and shouted, "King of the Stars, don't listen to him anymore! He's sabotaging us in the shadows!"

Grat stopped speaking.

Figo frowned and turned his head: "Trickery?"

"Is that so? So this is your time corridor. Don't waste your energy. If it were me, I would pull the three of you into the time corridor separately, instead of pulling you all together."

Grat chuckled hoarsely, "You're in a different time-space corridor. Even if you alerted Gaston Figo in this time-space, causing him to attack me, it would be meaningless..."

Bang!

Figo punched him in the face.

Grath vanished in disillusionment.

But the next moment, Pry was back at the door of the library, listening to Gerald say:

"By a twist of fate, by a twist of fate."

Jimora, standing nearby, was completely unaware, while Figo, in front, was listening to Gerat's explanation.

Pry was at a loss and stood there dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Gimora and Figo were in the same predicament. The difference was that Figo knew he had fallen into a strange and unpredictable time-related ability before the first cycle even began.

He wasn't in a hurry to break the spell. Grath had only trapped Rillentoff, King Norton, and King Grinning, proving that his ability had its limits. It could only trap people in time loops, but it couldn't be used to attack opponents during those times.

There is no such thing as an unsolvable problem.

He tentatively opened the prison files, only to find that he couldn't, which was somewhat disappointing.

It seems this ability isn't as exaggerated as opening a parallel space; it merely intercepts a period of time for the opponent, trapping them within that timeframe. It's somewhat like a realistic illusion, unable to change the past or future. It can't be said that Figo has truly captured everyone by using prison files to arrest people and break the loop.

Even the prison records could not be accessed in this fake time-space corridor.

Analogous to Mia, who was sent 50 years into the future by Tengetsu, she essentially didn't exist during those 50 years; she was trapped in time.

So……

His figure suddenly vanished in an instant. Gimora and Pray, who were listening to Grat's explanation, looked astonished. Grat was also slightly taken aback before saying in a hoarse voice, "So I've already pulled the three of you into the time-space corridor separately..."

But here's the question: where is he going?

At the same time, Figo, who had already appeared in the sky above the square outside the sacrificial temple, spread his arms out, and countless chains shot out, binding all the fish-men and mermaid warriors that Pray had summoned.

The sealing power belonging to the progenitor of the demon race is also frantically drilling into their bodies!

"The King of the Stars?!"

"What are you doing?!"

"This is... the progenitor of the demon race..."

Exclamations echoed, but Figo paid no attention. Pray and Jimora, who had just emerged from the temple, were also caught off guard by the scene.

Only Grat felt a jolt of shock: 'This guy is actually taking advantage of being in his own time corridor, where it won't affect reality, to recklessly use violence to investigate other demon generals?!'

After checking on these people, Figo retrieved the chains, ignoring the exclamations and paying no attention to Gimora and Pray, and flew deeper into the kingdom.

However, before he could check more people, the scene before him shifted back to the sacrificial temple, where Grat, with red horns on his head, was breathing heavily and looked pale.

Figo said regretfully, "Why did you voluntarily cancel your ability?"

“You…aren’t you worried that I’ll take advantage of you being trapped in the Time Corridor to slaughter the weak?” Grat asked hoarsely.

“Your abilities are already trapping Grenin and Norton, and now you’ve added Pray and Gimora, plus me. If you still have the strength left, don’t bother slaughtering the weak, just kill me.”
