Chapter 228 Ragnarok, Kill The Eight Kings!

"Why kill them?!"

Kong raised his head to the sky and roared in anger.

But his fury fell on deaf ears.

None of the Six Kings even spared him a glance.

To them, Kong was no different from the hundreds of thousands of Marines who had just perished—insignificant, an ant unworthy of their attention.

"Why would gods concern themselves with the life and death of ants?"

The Red Earl, Patrick Redfield, smiled indifferently as he swung his sword, sending Kong hurtling through the air.

On the other side, the three Marine Admirals, Momousagi, and other high-ranking Marine officials stared in grief at the remains of their fallen comrades, their expressions dark and solemn.

But before they could dwell in sorrow—

"What are you standing around for?! The battle isn't over yet!"

Enel, Weevil, and Shiryu seized the momentum, launching relentless attacks on the retreating Marines and Admirals.

At this moment, the three Admirals had no will to continue fighting. The justice they had once believed in had been shaken to its core.

They had given everything for the World Government, but the World Government had treated them as nothing more than disposable pawns, slaughtering them at will.

If that was the case…

Was there even a reason to keep fighting for them?

Admiral Fujitora was the first to step back.

Among the three, his sense of justice had always been the purest and strongest.

Now, witnessing such atrocities firsthand, he was completely disheartened.

Seeing him retreat, Shiryu made no move to pursue.

On the other side, Admiral Kizaru transformed into golden light and shot towards the open sea.

But Enel refused to let him escape. He turned into a lightning bolt and chased after him.

Meanwhile, Admiral Aokiji returned to the remaining Marine officers, using his own body to shield them from the relentless attacks of the Haki field.

He bore the brunt of the damage, easing the burden on his comrades.

Before his death, Sengoku had entrusted the Marines to him.

And so, Aokiji could not abandon them.

Even if it meant death.

At this moment, he had already accepted his fate.

Up in the sky, Lucifer hovered, facing the relentless assault of the Six Kings.

He smirked indifferently, then raised his hand and pressed down.

Boom!

A vacuum wall formed instantly, dispersing all of the Six Kings' attacks.

"Haki Domain!"

Lucifer unleashed both his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, covering the entirety of Mariejois.

His power surged, instantly overwhelming the fusion domain of the Six Kings.

Boom!

A vacuum explosion erupted. The void itself cracked apart, and the domain of the Six Kings was completely shattered.

"Y-You…!"

"Impossible!"

The Six Kings' faces turned pale with horror.

For the first time—true fear gripped their hearts.

"Nothing is impossible."

"Now, perish!"

"Ragnarök!"

Lucifer raised his hand and pointed.

The heavens split apart.

Golden light burst forth from the sky, and a colossal golden sword came crashing down.

Its sheer presence sent shockwaves across dozens of miles.

"Block it!!!"

"Kill him!!!"

"Damn wretch!"

The Six Kings unleashed their full power, desperately trying to resist.

But their strength was too insignificant.

Even together, they were still far too weak.

Boom!

The first of the Six Kings—Tyrannosaurus Rex—was the first to fall.

His body exploded into a mist of blood.

Immediately after, the second King was cleaved apart by the devastating sword energy, his body obliterated beyond recognition.

"Lord Im!"

"Help us!!!"

The remaining four Kings desperately tried to resist—

But under the might of the golden divine sword, they collapsed to their knees, screaming for mercy.

Boom!

Mariejois' Pangu Castle exploded.

A figure emerged, teleporting forward in an instant.

With a mere wave of his hand, a powerful shockwave surged forth, colliding against the massive golden sword.

Lucifer's lips curled into a smirk.

"Finally, you've come out."

With a sneer, he raised his hand and pressed down once more.

Clang!

The golden sword descended—

The remaining Four Kings were instantly reduced to ashes.

But the sword energy did not stop there.

It pierced through the Red Line, splitting Mariejois in half and drilling thousands of meters deep into the earth.

The Red Line, the very landmass that divided the seas, now bore a massive gap, forever changed by Lucifer's power.

"Wretch… you have angered me!"

Im glared at Lucifer, his murderous intent erupting like a storm.

He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki domain, sending out an overwhelming shockwave.

But Lucifer countered with his own Haki field, nullifying Im's attack while simultaneously repelling him.

Im staggered back, his expression dark and twisted.

Now he understood—

Lucifer had never been fighting seriously.

He had merely been waiting for Im to show himself.

And the moment he did—

Lucifer erased all of his most powerful subordinates in an instant.

It wasn't just a humiliation.

It was a deep, searing wound to Im's very soul.

"Uranus!!!"

Im roared.

From the ruins of Mariejois—

A thunderous tremor shook the world.

The Red Line quaked violently.

And then—

With a deafening explosion, the entire Red Line cracked open.

A colossal red dragon burst forth, ascending into the heavens.

It was 10,000 meters long, its wings blotting out the sun.

Each of its eyes was as vast as a lake.

In front of it, even the mightiest warriors appeared no bigger than insects.

"Uranus… finally, you've come out."

"And fully matured, no less."

Lucifer smirked.

The World Government had spent 800 years nurturing Uranus, and now, it was finally ready for war.

"Wretch, die!!!"

Im teleported to the top of Uranus, glaring down at Lucifer.

The dragon opened its massive maw—

And unleashed a cataclysmic inferno.

A flaming tsunami hundreds of meters in diameter surged toward Lucifer.

Roar!!!

A deafening howl echoed behind Lucifer.

Another flaming tsunami erupted—

Blocking Uranus' attack!

Im's expression darkened.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the sky.

From above the clouds—

A massive shadow loomed.

Another titanic entity descended—

It was Uranus.

But this one was different.

It had no flesh.

Only bones.

But it was no less imposing and ferocious than the Uranus beneath Im's feet.

"Uranus?!!!"

Having ruled the world for 800 years, Im was rarely surprised.

But at this moment, even he couldn't remain calm.

"That's right, it's Uranus!"

Lucifer teleported above the skeletal Uranus' head.

The two Uranus faced each other in the sky, their immense, ferocious auras clashing. The force of their confrontation tore through the clouds and split the sea below.

"A Devil Fruit ability?"

Im immediately deduced that Lucifer had resurrected Uranus using a Devil Fruit.

"That's right. It fell 800 years ago, and today, it rises again for revenge. Everything is guided by fate!"

"Hmph, a dead thing can never surpass a living one. In the end, it's just a soulless dragon. What is there to fear?"

ROAR!

The Uranus under Im's control opened its mouth and unleashed a violent storm.

The howling winds swept through the battlefield, each gust powerful enough to tear apart mountains.

Every storm carried the force of a peak swordsman's slash.

In response, the skeletal Uranus roared, forming a dark cloud in its mouth before unleashing a massive lightning bolt, shattering the storm.

Despite having no organs, no flesh, and no blood, Lucifer had given it life through the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

The skeletal Uranus could harness the Soul-Soul Fruit's abilities, wielding flames, lightning, and storms.

It could manipulate all natural elements.

Not only that, but since it lacked vital points, its life force came entirely from the Soul-Soul Fruit infused within the black blade, Shusui.

As long as the black blade remained intact, the skeletal Uranus would never die.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two Uranus clashed fiercely, unleashing waves of fire, lightning, and wind. Their roars shook the heavens and the earth.

Their battle was apocalyptic—every attack carried unimaginable power.

The sky was torn apart, the Red Line crumbled, and massive tidal waves erupted in the sea.

The entire battlefield spanned hundreds of miles.

Even a Marine Admiral caught in the crossfire would be annihilated instantly!

"The Eight Kings are dead. The battle for Uranus has begun."

"Now it's your turn!"

"Heaven's Punishment: Thunder Tribulation!"

Lucifer's cold voice rang through the battlefield.

Thunder boomed across the sky, and thick bolts of lightning crashed down, striking Im.

The devastating lightning pierced through the Red Line, plunging deep into the sea, blasting open a massive hole over a kilometer in diameter.

Yet, within the sea of lightning, Im emerged unscathed.

His long hair fluttered wildly as an overwhelming killing intent radiated from his body.

"Spear of Sin!"

Im raised his hand, summoning countless black spears that shot toward Lucifer.

The spears moved at incredible speed, empowered by Im's Conqueror's Haki Domain.

Each spear carried enough power to instantly kill an Admiral-level opponent.

"Void Creation?"

"Dissipate!"

Lucifer used the Word-Word Fruit to erase the attack.

His eyes locked onto Im, a trace of surprise flashing across his face.

Aside from himself, he had never encountered another person with the power to create from the void.

Void Creation was no ordinary ability—it was a power that had reached the level of absolute rules!
