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

A dazzling white light devoured everything.

A starlight shines in the center.

Then, it continued to appear in scattered spots.

Figo, in the center, clasped his fists together, his muscles bulging, and the miniature planets surrounding him outlined unique patterns, vaguely forming human shapes. With Figo's advance, they surged forward, swallowing up the silent roaring Lucifer!

As darkness expanded, planets exploded one by one on Lucifer's body, each explosion carrying the power of Figo's full-force punch!

Like a planet exploding, the sun shattering.

Amidst the tremors of space, Lucifer's wings were torn to shreds, his body gradually became riddled with holes, and he was then pierced by rows of dark chains!

In mid-air, Figo intently tried to capture the legendary Demon King.

Indeed, Lucifer's strength was far greater than all previous predictions, even surpassing that of Blue Flavor, a first-class star!

But after preparing for so many years to fight the Spirit of the Light, capturing so many second- and third-magnitude stars, and awakening powerful abilities, how can he possibly be on par with Lucifer?

How could I possibly be his equal!

[Character Events: ...]

Lucifer, firmly bound by countless chains, entered Figo's prison file a minute later. The 100% capture success rate meant that he had no chance of escape.

Not only were he bound by chains, but Figo had also implanted several miniature stars formed from his abilities within his body. If he made any unusual movements, those stars would explode immediately, causing him unbearable damage from the inside out!

Lucifer, with only his head exposed, seemed to have given up on resisting. His face was expressionless, and only when the kings, who had withstood the aftershocks of the final collision, gathered around him did his purple pupils flicker slightly: "This is truly an unprecedented experience."

The Skeleton King and others said that this was an unprecedented experience for them as well.

They really... captured them alive?

The strongest beings from the Starry Sky and the Fire Star seemed to have returned to the time when they first witnessed the power of a king in their childhood, refreshing their understanding of power.

I never knew humans could be this powerful!

Baal, the Holy Demon King, thought to himself that he was lucky to still be alive, having once threatened Figo with breaking the blockade of the Light Star Kings' Light. But this time, he really had a chance to stay with his wives for another thousand years.

The half-demon king's eyes unconsciously glanced at Asmodeus, only to be met with a helpless look from his daughter, who had anticipated this. He gave a dry laugh.

Forget it, even if my daughter marries him, my "debt-filled fruit" probably won't have any effect whatsoever.

Rayleigh looked at Roger and, sure enough, saw excitement in Roger's eyes. He couldn't help but smile. That's just how this guy is; he never gets discouraged by difficulties. He's seen another goal to strive for.

Bailey and Yasunari were completely relieved; it wasn't shameful for the Celestial Dragons to be defeated by someone like him.

The Skeleton Emperor's will-o'-the-wisps flickered, his emotions restrained, and he only said one sentence: "Gentlemen, the battle is not over yet."

Everyone knows this isn't over yet. The Demon King, though powerful, is merely a tool controlled by the Spirit of the Light. With each cycle, and at a certain cost, he can be defeated. But without killing the Spirit of the Light, defeating the Demon King or capturing him alive is meaningless!

If the creatures of the stars are once again extinguished by the Spirit of Light, Lucifer will still appear before 'them' in the next era!

“Yeah, it’s not time to celebrate yet. Let’s make soup from that giant turtle before we can really relax,” Figo laughed.

The foodies smiled slightly upon hearing this, and Lingling even felt a little hungry: "Grandpa, after attacking it so many times before, didn't you ever cut off a piece of meat to try?"

Figo laughed, "No, I wouldn't eat without you. I was worried it would get angry, so I've been holding back my craving, hehe..."

He chuckled twice, then said in a deep voice, "Unlike the previous cycles, I defeated Lucifer too quickly, so the giant tortoise couldn't get here immediately. However, I can sense from our communication that it's rapidly approaching this way."

Defeating Lucifer too quickly...

Having nothing to say, Baal, who could also sense the location of the Spirit of the Light, nodded in agreement.

"If we don't go to meet them proactively, we'll probably have a little over a day to prepare. Kizaru, go back to space and tell everyone about the situation here, so they can get ready."

Kizaru vanished in a flash of light.

"The rest of you can do as you please. Get yourself into top condition. It's just my guess that the Spirit of Light can't seal all our lights after capturing Lucifer. If I'm wrong... it will still be a bloody battle," Figo said.

The kings responded and dispersed.

They had made all the necessary preparations when they went to find the Spirit of Light this morning, but the situation has changed slightly. They need to give some instructions and make arrangements to their close subordinates. It also seems that Figo intends to adjust his state on his own or has something he wants to communicate with Lucifer alone. Only Linlin and Teach are left with Figo.

Tichy's worries about the third ability dissipated, and the pale-faced scholar looked at Figo honestly—"Can I change back to my original form, Lord Figo?"

Figo waved to him: "Go to Sakazuki and follow his arrangements for now. We'll talk again once the battle is completely over."

Teach was actually unaware of the Spirit of Light's situation, having only gleaned a few words from the previous conversation. He was deeply moved but showed no outward signs, obediently leaving as Figo instructed.

"That's not an honest guy."

Lucifer suddenly said.

谷劺

“I know,” Figo said. “Oh right, I almost forgot to ask. In his cycle of star transformation, he usually followed you to slaughter all the human powerhouses before ambushing you, right? If you had all your memories, how could you have been ambushed?”

Lucifer closed his eyes and remained silent.

The answer is obvious: in those reincarnations, the spirit of the lamp did not give him all his memories.

Figo shook his head and didn't communicate with Lucifer anymore. Instead, he chose the reward for capturing Lucifer—the power of the Demon Royal Family!

Lucifer in MR9 has a crime index that broke records and even doubled, reaching 9 points, giving Figo an unprecedented amount of profit!

Figo's power of 8.9 million+ was instantly maxed out, reaching level 70 million. His bloodline underwent a leap in improvement, and his aura fluctuated slightly before becoming profound.

Lucifer had a clear sense of awareness. He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Figo with a puzzled expression, then at Lingling sitting next to Figo, before slowly closing his eyes again. To be this powerful, he must have something extraordinary about him.

Lingling, who spent the most time with Figo, had already roughly guessed that Figo could be promoted by capturing criminals, so she was not surprised and silently protected Figo.

Figo gradually absorbed the enhancement of his bloodline.

He then activated two more events involving Lucifer and began to read them.

……

Time passed slowly, and the real decisive battle drew ever closer.

Upon receiving news of the Flame of Light, the kings and naval powerhouses of all corners of the cosmos did not relax their efforts and continued to prepare for the cosmos to sink into darkness.

Luffy learned that the Demon King had been defeated by Figo, and chuckled, saying, "Wow, that was fast!" In the background were 74 bewildered demon children.

The last remaining lurking demon general, guided by Lucifer's bloodline dominance, came looking for him, but was dealt with by the Skeleton Emperor and others, leaving only a desperate howl in the world. The demon race was finished.

More and more high-ranking members of the Lantern Star organization learned about the Spirit of the Lantern, but the news that the Demon King Lucifer had been defeated by Figo alone only boosted morale.

Guardian Lamp Mars (Starry Sky)!

A day and a night passed.

The kings gathered once more around Figo, who was sitting cross-legged next to the captured Lucifer. The Skeleton King said in a deep voice, "It's here!"

Figo nodded and stood up, looking at Lucifer.

Lucifer turned his purple eyes toward the distance. The immense life force of the Spirit of Light had appeared a hundred kilometers away. Just then, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

puff--

The sound of a tire deflating rang out.

Under the suppression of the dark chains, a crimson light rose from Lucifer's body!

All the kings looked over and exclaimed, "This is..."

They believed that the Spirit of the Light had set something to ensure Lucifer's death.

Figo, however, said, "It was my attack."

Lucifer's purple eyes stared at Figo, and at that moment, all the starlight that Figo had reserved within him exploded!

The planet-destroying energy ravaged his body from the inside out, but was then suppressed into a small area by layers of chains, doubling its power.

Even someone as powerful as Lucifer had his life force destroyed at the cellular level. This ancestor of demons, the Demon King, turned to ashes and scattered across the world just before the Spirit of the Lamp descended!

"Why……"

Wasn't it said that capturing Lucifer alive might prevent the Spirit of the Lamp from sealing the lamps?

Why kill him at the last minute?

Figo gestured in the direction of the Spirit of Light.

"Oops~!!"

The familiar, piercing roar exploded, accompanied by a thunderous howl that echoed through the sky.

"How did you find out?!"

The spirit of the lamp speaks human language!

Chapter 402 Lights Illuminate the World (End of Main Text)

Since its encounter, the Spirit of the Lamp has always appeared to be of low intelligence. The sea beasts that light the lamps are all highly intelligent, as are the ship spirits that originate from it. Yet, its intelligence is completely inconsistent with the level six sea beast's status.

It's like acting solely on instinct.

Only at this moment, after Lucifer's death, did the Spirit of the Lamp finally speak human language!

The kings were shocked. One of the wise ones immediately realized what was happening and murmured, "Lucifer? It and Lucifer... are one?!"

Indeed, in a sense, Lucifer is an avatar of the Spirit of the Lamp, a manifestation of a special ability, carrying most of the Spirit of the Lamp's wisdom.

This also explains why Lucifer could still control everything in the sky and scatter 72 demon generals even in his dead state, and why the Spirit of the Lamp had to revive or even die before launching the destruction of the world. Moreover, it explains why, in countless reincarnations, Lucifer has never been the one to become a star!

It's not enough to simply hide behind the stars to make them move along their predetermined paths; the star system is both the architect and the most crucial element.

To understand how Figo made that judgment, one must look at the events surrounding Lucifer.

In the cycle in which Blue Flavor transformed into a first-magnitude star, Blue Flavor also defeated Lucifer, who was not yet at his full power, but did not kill him, waiting for the Spirit of the Lamp to attack.
