Chapter 111

The suddenly appearing familiar figure not only stunned Ultear and the others, but Hades also revealed a look of surprise.

Clearly, he didn't expect Pain Deva Path to appear here.

And with the appearance of Pain Deva Path, Blackbeard also had no intention of continuing to act.

"That's really a surprise."

Blackbeard looked up at Jellal, a strange smile in his eyes.

"I didn't expect an Akatsuki member to appear here. I heard a while ago that you joined forces with the Witch Cult; it seems this guy was also chosen by you."

"However, making a move so brazenly, aren't you worried about encountering those guys from the Royal Guard?"

Hearing this, Pain Deva Path's face remained unmoved, saying faintly.

"That's not for you to worry about. By comparison, Blackbeard, you'd better worry about your own situation; now, both the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates are hunting you everywhere."

"Don't you think you should worry more about yourself?"

"Ze-hahahahaha... Worry? What do I have to worry about? Having escaped to this world, why should I fear them? Even if they found out, I would have already obtained what I wanted before that."

"And... if you don't move aside now, I think you should worry about yourself first."

Blackbeard's gaze still carried an aggressive look, and black mist surged on his right hand again.

Clearly, he did not intend to give up on the prey he was about to obtain.

"If your main body had descended, I might have given up directly, but a mere puppet is not enough to make me back down."

However, Pain Deva Path still said very calmly.

"You can try."

"I think you wouldn't want to make a third enemy for yourself right now, Blackbeard."

"What's going on? That Pain Deva Path seems to know that Blackbeard."

"And what is that Royal Guard? It seems that in Blackbeard's words, that so-called Royal Guard is the mortal enemy of the Akatsuki and the Witch Cult."

None of those present were fools; from the few words exchanged between Blackbeard and Pain Deva Path, they heard quite a bit of intelligence.

First, Blackbeard himself was indeed being hunted by the World Government and pirates.

Second, the Witch Cult and Akatsuki seemed to fear that so-called Royal Guard.

But compared to these, what was more concerning was what Blackbeard meant by Master Hades being chosen?

Did the opponent really intend to cooperate with them?

Recalling their first encounter, the opponent had said he wanted to cooperate with them, but there was no news after that.

The only news obtained was the Allied Forces subjugation event a while ago, and the cooperation with the Witch Cult.

They originally thought this matter had been shelved, but they didn't expect the opponent to still not have given up.

However, this was not without precedent; Jellal from the Tower of Heaven incident earlier seemed to have been recruited by the opponent and became one of them.

Wait?

Could it be that Pain Deva Path's purpose for coming this time was the same?

"Ze-hahahahaha... Since words have already reached this point, what's the harm in giving the Akatsuki some face."

Blackbeard spread his hands, not angry because of the threat in Pain Deva Path's words, but laughing loudly instead.

"Anyway, using the head of a vice-master, plus the head of a dark guild master, should be enough."

"Two heads, could it be that he..."

Hades was subconsciously stunned, and as he spoke, he saw Blackbeard walking toward the position where Bluenote had fallen.

Watching Blackbeard walk toward Bluenote, and thinking of what Blackbeard said, even the stupidest person could guess Blackbeard's next plan.

At this moment, Bluenote was completely stunned.

Clearly, he didn't expect Blackbeard to finally set his sights on him.

Bluenote subconsciously turned his gaze to Hades, his trembling eyes revealing a look of seeking help.

"Save... save me."

Seeing this, Hades's expression darkened completely.

But before he could react, a figure blocked his field of vision.

"Enough, with my strength, being able to save one of you is already the limit; if one more person comes, it will exceed my ability range."

"The opponent's strength is very strong..."

"..."

After a long silence, Hades finally withdrew his hand.

After all, he was a person who had lived for more than a hundred years; after calming down, Hades saw his own situation clearly.

Having exhausted his last bit of magic power, he had no threat left; if Pain Deva Path hadn't appeared at the end, he would probably have died at the opponent's hands by now.

And from Pain Deva Path's words, he could hear that the opponent seemed to be very wary of Blackbeard.

Once he made a move, he was afraid that even he might be in danger.

"I understand."

"Why..."

Although the distance was too far to hear clearly what Hades said, looking at Hades's eyes, Bluenote instantly knew he had been abandoned.

In an instant, fear occupied Bluenote's entire mind; the fear of death instantly shattered his pride.

He wanted to run away, but with all the bones in his body shattered, his painful body could only allow him to crawl a few meters, and at this time, the distance between Blackbeard and him was only tens of meters.

Puchi—!

Before he could crawl far, the arm wrapped in Armament Haki had already pierced his heart.

Fresh blood spilled out.

Before dying, Bluenote's eyes were still filled with despair... and a trace of resentment.

Taking the two corpses, Blackbeard left the battlefield under everyone's gaze.

"Finally... is it over?"

At this very moment, the few people riding the magic airship looked at Blackbeard's departing figure and said in a daze.

It must be said that when Blackbeard left, everyone present felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

Too terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Although Blackbeard's target changed from Hades and 'Zero' to Bluenote and 'Zero', no one present could have imagined that Blackbeard would finally succeed.

And if Pain Deva Path hadn't appeared at the end, their Master would probably have died at the opponent's hands.

With his own strength, he shook the entire Grimoire Heart.

Killing one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, one vice-master, and one former dark guild master, and finally walking away.

They couldn't imagine how much of a reaction such news would cause once it spread.

"Although this sentence has already been said, I still have to ask once."

When Blackbeard completely disappeared from their field of vision, Pain Deva Path's gaze slowly turned to Hades, and he spoke faintly.

"Having known pain, do you choose to cooperate with the Akatsuki?"
