Planet Crimson Aegis, the capital planet of the Crimson Dynasty…

Being one of the 3 Universal Civilizations ruling the universe, the capital planet of the Crimson Dynasty was incredible, reflecting majesty and might.

There were 3 zones to this planet, the outer zone, the inner zone, and the core zone where only the most important individuals of the Crimson Dynasty had access to.

The outer zone that was open to outsiders was where the trade hub and meeting spots among all the powers of the universe was located.

All other civilizations across the universe sucked up to the 3 Universal Civilizations, the traffic in Planet Crimson Aegis’ outer zone was always boisterous, President Dunk of Nak State came here long ago when he was younger.

The Azure Pantheon was the most superstitious of the 3 universe rulers.

The Warlord Alliance was the most militaristic of the 3.

As for the Crimson Dynasty, they stood at the middle, being the most logical and profit-based of the 3 ruling powers of the universe.

Their leader was called the Crimson Monarch and the election for new Crimson Monarchs commence every half a millennium.

lightsnοvεl The current ruler of the Crimson Dynasty was a woman.

At this moment, inside the office of the Crimson Monarch that reflected majesty in a simple yet practical manner, one of the 3 most powerful individuals in the universe worked as she looked through multiple papers rapidly.

Standing behind her but invisible to the naked eye was 1 of the 2 core protectors of the Crimson Dynasty, Amazon Empress Lyta.

Amazon Empress, that name was known across the universe.

To many, she was widely regarded as the strongest Magic Warrior of this era. 

Having pursued the twin paths of the Pugilist and Mage Super classes to the maximum, she was one of the strongest Supers in the universe.

She already forged tons of legends for herself through the years and to many, perhaps only the Stone Emperor of the Warlord Alliance, widely acknowledged as the strongest Pugilist alive could better her in close combat.

With this warrior lady protecting the Crimson Monarch always, few dared to even think about assassinating her.

A lot of precedents have been used as examples.

Powerful Beyond Grade A Assassins who made names for themselves already tried, but none of them ever lived to tell the story after seeing the Amazon Empress’s Ancient Magic Spear which was a Universal treasure.

As she flipped through the books, the Crimson Monarch suddenly paused.

“Hmmm, Straw Hat Goffy…, that name sounds familiar”. Her eyes narrowed.

“Lyta, does that ring a bell?”

Whoosh!

She finally came out of the shadows where she hid, training all-day. “No, your Excellency, I have never heard of that name”.

Opening a file, the Crimson Monarch read through it.

“Hmmm, he was a notorious pirate in the Gundogan Star Cluster before becoming a Beyond Grade A Super just 5 years ago”.

“During those 5 years, he already built a name for himself”.

Her eyes widened. “He’s the one who dethroned Amak”.

“The promising Mechanic that was allied to the Azure Pantheon?” Lyta asked as she became interested.

The Crimson Monarch nodded. “He was one fellow that I really thought could reach for the top of the Beyond Grade A realm”.

“Hmmm, for this Summoner to defeat him, he must be something special”.

“It’s a good thing he is not yet allied to the Azure Pantheon”.

“Tell Magnus, let’s send him an invite, offer to him triple the benefits and privileges that the Azure Pantheon promised to give him”.

The Amazon Empress was silent for a few seconds, then she finally nodded.

“Understood, your Excellency”.

As the Amazon Empress created a magical sound channel to the Beyond Grade A Super of the Crimson Dynasty responsible for recruitment, the Crimson Monarch could not help but squint her eyes in curiosity as she looked at the file.

“Straw Hat Goffy…”

“Straw Hat Goffy…”

She rubbed her chin in thought. “Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before?”

…

Somewhere in an unchartered region of space beyond the territories of the Azure Pantheon, a large capital ship ducked before a hidden space pocket.

At the entrance of the space pocket, 2 powerful escorts waited.

These 2 escorts were Calamity Grade Supers.

“Captain, are you sure about this?” George could not help but ask. “I know how powerful you are but with all due respect, ElKing is widely acknowledged across the universe as one of the strongest of this era”.

“I know”. Legolas smirked as he looked at his subordinate.

“I appreciate your concern but don’t worry, I won’t die”. He chuckled. “We’ve been together for years; you should know how logical I can be”.

“I would never come here just to throw my life away”.

George looked at his leader, he hesitated then he nodded.

The next moment, Legolas, now known as Straw Hat Goffy the terrifying Beyond Grade A Pirate came out of his capital ship before entering the space pocket world alongside the 2 Red Deacons.

Legolas made his decision to come here 5 years ago after his breakthrough.

When he became a Calamity Grade Super, he thought he already saw all that Maximus and his predecessor left for him but to his shock, after becoming a Beyond Grade A Super, he saw another letter.

Another letter written using English language.

This time, there was only 3 sentences in the letter.

>Congrats, you became a Beyond Grade A Super<

>Your next step is to meet Gallagher<

>Tell him who you truly are<

Legolas was confused at first on seeing the letter.

After doing a lot of research that spanned 3 years, he discovered a shocking truth, Gallagher was the name that a certain infamous Beyond Grade A Super answered until more than 300 years ago.

This infamous Beyond Grade A Super was ElKing, the Lord of Elementalists.

Entering this space pocket world, Legolas was exposed to the headquarters of the ElKing pirates, their haven of operation.

The space pocket world explained why the Azure Pantheon never managed to pin them down despite using so much of their intelligence prowess to find them.

His smooth entry here also gave Legolas hints about the truth.

He was led straight to the throne of the notorious pirate, ElKing.

“Guguguggu…!” He growled barbarically as he emptied another drum of quality beer down his throat.

“Gugugugug…!” He cackled as he drank.

ElKing was a notorious drunkard.

As soon as Legolas arrived, the 2 Red Deacons who led him here left, leaving him alone with the leader of the ElKing Pirates.

Through his spirit sense, Endrick could tell that ElKing was drunk but at the same time, he could tell that this notorious Elementalist already noticed him since and was actually paying attention to him now.

“I never wanted to believe it but meeting you confirms it”.

“You became a Beyond Grade A Super just 5 years ago yet from your presence, I can tell that you can last 5 minutes against me”.

“Not many can do that”. ElKing turned to face the Summoner.

His face was hideous and rough. Like his Red Deacons, he was a member of the Demon race, evident by his 2 long red horns.

“I should have known long ago”.

“First, you becoming only the 2nd Super from the Minerva Star System to have such talent should have made me seen the connection between you and him”.

“Second, looking back, you also came from the Roronoa Star System”.

“Third, like he guessed, you’re a Summoner”.

Legolas was silent throughout as this demon spoke as a lot of thoughts went through his mind, he didn’t want to jump to any conclusions.

“Gugugugu…!” ElKing downed another bottle of the beer.

ElKing threw the drum away as he went to sit on his throne then with a hand on his chin, he focused on the human. “You’ve read Maximus’ letter right…, Earthling?!”

“…!” Legolas’ eyes widened.

“Who are you?”
