The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 396



When Lucifer heard Callan agreeing to the battle without hesitation, the corner of his lips lifted into a strange smile. Both are the first heirs of their families.


Since their families were in the same industry and had almost the same strength, they would always fight, inflicting great grudges between the two.


When the two of them met each other, they wanted to humiliate each other. They've always done this for a long time. But they are no better than the others and will be deadlocked in every battle. But this time, Lucifer doesn't plan to just let Callan go.


He had been cultivating with the grandmaster all along, and his strength had increased drastically. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to come out. As long as Callan signed the release of responsibility and entered the arena, then his life would not be in his hands anymore.


Coincidentally, he was able to check the results after cultivating with the old master for so many years.


Lucifer thought to himself while grinning coldly, 'Cally, you yourself came to me, so don't blame me for being merciless. I don't plan on taking action against you so soon. Unfortunately, you insist on coming to me like this.‘


“Cally, let's go down now. I want you to know the consequences of making me angry.” growled Lucifer.


“Cih, are you trying to scare me? Do you think I'll be afraid of you?" callan said with disdain.


“I hope you can still be so stubborn later.”


“I'll talk to action, later.”


Lucifer ignored Callan and turned his gaze to Mia. He said, “Dance Series, stay here. I'll take care of my business for a minute. After my business is done. I hope you won't think of escaping because you can't escape from Planet Staub.”


'Dance Party? Fairy Dance of the four fairies?' When Callan heard that name, he immediately turned to look towards Mia who was veiled. That perfect body looks like his. Even though she was wearing a veil, one could still tell it was Mia if they looked closely.


'It was Mia of the four fairies in the Milky Way. Lucifer is still the same. She just got out, and she's here disturbing Fairy Dance. He's not polite at all. What a loser among the direct descendants of a big family.'


"Dance Party! I just couldn't recognize you. It's an honor to finally meet you. My name is Callan Elrod." said Callan politely.


"You're too polite, Mr. Callan. It is also an honor for me to meet you, Mr.” Mia replied respectfully as well.


“Dance Series, you are so funny. What honor do I have? You're one of the four fairies in the Milky Way, and I really admire you.”


“That was before, Mr. Callan. I've retreated from the four fairies, please in correction.“


"Really! My memory is getting weaker. I'm sure this is the person you want to follow even though you have to retreat from the position of four fairies, right?” Callan looked at David and said.


“Halo, my name is David Lidell. I'm just friends with Mia. He is not my follower.” said David.


“I understand! Hello, David! My name is Callan Elrod. You're amazing for being able to conquer Fairy Dance. Do you know how many men in the Milky Way are turning over?” Callan extended his hand while smiling sincerely.


David held out his hand to shake Callan's hand. But after they shake hands, Callan pulls David into his arms.


Then, he whispered in David's ear, “David, don't worry. I'll protect you. Think of it as our friendship gift."


David thought Callan wanted to attack him all of a sudden. But he didn't expect Callan to say that. David was between laughter and tears.


‘My combat strength is almost the same as that of the Emperor. Do you think I'll need your protection? Wouldn't I be a laughingstock if that happened?‘


But David started to respect Callan after what he did. At least he wasn't as arrogant and domineering as Lucifer. After Callan says that, he releases David without waiting for David's reaction. Then, he turned his head to look towards Lucifer.


She said, “Lucy, David, and Fairy Dance are my friends. Don't even think of bluffing them with me around.”


“You want to help them out of this predicament, do you?" Lucifer narrowed his eyes and said with killing intent.


“You can say that. Moreover, it is not only applicable to today, you cannot bully them even in the future.”


“Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?“


"Lucy, don't try to threaten me. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Le's go! Don't you want to do a duel down there? I will beat you again today!”


“I hope you will remain arrogant later. Lefs go. Huh!” After Callan snorted, he turned to walk out the door.


At that moment, Lucifer looked at the old man next to him. The old man understood immediately. He teleports next to David and slaps David to kill him first. Who would Mia follow if David died?


Mia's been with David for a long time, so David must have taken her virginity. Lucifer boiled over thinking this. Ever since David and Mia entered, Lucifer has decided that David is the dead man. But Callan's sudden arrival messes up his plans.


Now, he can let David off guard and kill him. Then, he would slowly take care of Callan and Mia. Otherwise, where would he look for David if he ran away?


The old man's sudden attack could not let David off guard. The speed of a Celestial Ranker Beginner was like the speed of a turtle to David. He did not need any preparations to kill the old man. After all, their powers were separated for miles and miles away.It was like adults and ants.


David chuckled coldly in his heart. When he was about to kill the old man, he felt another energy quickly approach him.It was the old man next to Callan. David succumbs to his attack and takes one step to stand in front of Mia.


Boom!


After a loud noise, the entire room started to shake. But Mia behind David felt nothing. Mia was very close to the fight between the two Celestial Rankers. If it wasn't for David, the shockwave from the collision would have instantly killed him.


“Lucy! I knew you'd do this. You really live up to the name you have, huh? You are like the devil, and you never change. You deserve that name.” Callan sneers.


Lucifer's face darkened, and he walked out of the room without saying anything. He was furious that he could not attack David secretly. With Callan in attendance, Lucifer knows he won't have that chance for now. So he decided to just leave.


He'll cripple Callan in the arena later, making his life worse than hell. He could only dispel the anger in his heart in such a manner. The two old men retreated and did not attack again.


They are almost on the same level. If they continued to fight, neither side would win. The old man who attacked David also went with Lucifer. Before he left, he glanced at David. She's curious.


Just now, even though the attack was not directed at David and Mia, an ordinary person would not be able to handle the shockwave from the collision between the two Celestial Rankers. But David was not affected at all.


'Really weird! This young man is not as simple as he looks.'


He's not the only one who thinks about this. The other old man also looked at David while thinking.


After Lucifer took his men out of the room, Callan walked up to David's side and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "Don't worry, David. Lucy wouldn't dare do anything to you if I were."


David will secretly help him repay his kindness if he cannot defeat Lucifer. When Callan saw David not talking, he shrugged and left. David and Mia were the only people in the room.


“David, I'm sorry. It's all because of me until you get in trouble. I didn't know it was a trap. Lucifer has been bugging me for some time, but he disappeared for a few years, so I don't think it's him.” Mia said apologizing.


“You are guilty today. You've made a big mistake. I should scold you. Don't let this happen again in the future. Otherwise, I'd be angry." said David firmly.


Mia stunned. He didn't expect David to say that. She held back her tears and tried not to let them fall. He said sadly, “Tell me, David. I'll listen to you and won't make you trouble again.”


"If you experience something like this again in the future, I won't let you be so timid and shy. Don't be afraid to trouble me because I'm not afraid of it at all. Since you're with me, you can't embarrass me. I won't let that happen either. You have to curse someone like Lucifer to hell and not show him any respect. Be snapped back at him, and if he dares to try anything, I will definitely help you.”


"Huh?” Mia didn't know how to react for a while.


He's a little confused. He thought David would scold him, but it turned out not to be what he expected.


"Huh? Do you understand?" ask David.


“Umm..I-I understand.” Mia replied with a blank look.


“It's good. Don't let this happen again in the future.”


“A-I understand, David.”


David looked at Mia. If he was not firm with her, he would still hold back if he faced the same situation in the future and would not do as he was told. He was at the Partial Eternal Rank and the strongest in the Milky Way, but his person was as small and as low as an ant. He would be very embarrassed if word got out.


Therefore, David asked, “Mia, do you know how I got rid of the Tuffin family problem earlier?"


"imm? No.” replied Mia honestly.


He lifted his head to look at David. He did it because he didn't understand why David asked him that.


”I slashed Grandmaster Tuffin with my sword, and the Tuffin family just crumbled.” David replied calmly.


“Oh! Huh huh? What?” Mia regained her senses and widened her beautiful eyes.


He looked at David in horror, and his brain was in turmoil.


‘What did David say? He slashed Grandmaster Tuffin with his sword? H-How is that possible? Grandmaster Tuffin is one of the oldest giants in the Milky Way, and he is an ancient human who has lived for thousands of years. He is also an Infinity Rank. So how could David just kill him? How old is David? Do monsters like him really exist? Even though he was a Celestial Ranker when he defeated Fergus, it was still far from Infinity Rank!'


Mia felt this was impossible. But David didn't seem to be lying and there was also no need to lie about something like this. Mia's confused. He didn't know if he should trust her.


To be honest, what David said was beyond his comprehension. Not only that, but also something that has never been seen before in the history of the entire Milky Way. No one like this has ever existed in the Milky Way before.


“Why? Don't you trust me?” David looked at Mia's face and asked in confusion.


“I..L'm..I'm.." Mia doesn't know what to say.


“Well, you don't seem to believe me. I should have invited you that day.” said David helplessly.


He could do nothing if Mia did not believe him. He could only show her how strong she was when she had the chance next time. He could kill the Infinity Rank with just a wave of his sword.


“I believe you!" Mia said solemnly.


Eventually, he convinced himself to trust David.


“Really?”


“Ya, really.”


“Then, you should know that if I can kill Grandmaster Tuffin, not many people in the Milky Way can defeat me. You can do whatever you want next time. Do not speak humbly to such ants at other times. I can even slash the group behind Lucifer with my sword, let alone just him alone.”


David did not dare to say that his combat power was at the same level as Emperor Nimbus. Mia was skeptical of him and eventually convinced herself to believe him, so if she told him that, she would probably struggle even harder to believe him.


Therefore, he would not tell her for the time being. To see means to believe. When they returned to Planet Royal, he would duel with Emperor Nimbus. Mia would believe him after watching that.


“Good. David, I get it. I won't embarrass you anymore." replied Mia.


Although he still could not believe it, he began to gradually accept what David had said. He has mixed feelings inside him. Excitement, shock, admiration, madness, and so on.


“Then let's get down. I know you still don't trust me completely, but I'll show it to you when I get the chance. To be honest, an Infinity Ranker was nothing. They are also human, so they will get hurt and die too.”


“ Alright, thank you, David.”


“Come go. Tell me what kind of person Lucifer is and what his family is like. I can kill the family behind him to avenge you if I have time."


“No need! You don't have to do that, David.” reject Mia.


“This is not just to avenge you. Did you see how he wanted to kill me? Does he think I'm weak? Does he think I'm not angry? I am also a strong man! Does he think I won't feel humiliated after being bullied by an ant like him?”


“Oh! David, I'll tell you. Lucifer is the first heir of the Grim family, ranking fourth among the eight leading families. The Grim family is very strong.”.


As the two walk, Mia tells David about Lucifer and Callan. Shortly after, they reached the bottom of the arena. Lucifer and Callan sign a waiver of responsibility. After signing the signature, they were about to enter the arena to start the fight.


The arena manager looked like he was about to cry when he stood to one side. The heirs of fourth and fifth rank families would fight in his arena and even sign a release of responsibility. Isn't this the same as causing trouble for him?


He will get into trouble no matter who wins. The manager hopes the two will stop the fight whenever they want. Although he knew it was a misfortune for him, fortunately, the two masters each had people with them.


Therefore, someone would come to their rescue no matter which one of them was in danger. This is the only thing that makes the manager feel comfortable.
