“You’ve read Maximus’ letter right…, Earthling?”

“…!” Legolas’ eyes widened.

“Who are you?”

“Who am I?” ElKing looked up as he laughed, materializing another drum of beer and siphoning it all down his seemingly bottomless stomach. 

“Gugugugug…!” He cackled.

“Many call me ElKing, the Lord of all Elementalists”.

“I am the only Elementalist in this era to unlock all 4 main elemental affinities of fire, earth, water, and wind”.

“I am the leader of the ElKing Pirates”.

“All these are my identities but there is another identity that many do not know about,” He looked at the human. “I was Maximus’ best friend”.

Legolas’ eyes widened in shock, he finally understood.

He finally also understood why Maximus directed him to go meet this ridiculously powerful Super, the strongest Elementalist in the universe.

“About how I met Maximus, it’s complicated”. ElKing downed another drum of beer. “My planet was raided by an overpampered Star Cluster level civilization’s Prince entourage, a spoiled prince who thought of using my home planet of unique Demon races as an experiment lab”.

“Most died to his crazy experiments, I would have died also until Maximus came”.

ElKing’s eyes squinted at this moment as memories seemed to flash through his head. “I’ve never seen a Pugilist as strong as him”.

“With one punch, Maximus destroyed state of the art warships”.

“After that day, I pledged my life and existence to him”.

“I served him until the last day he left this reality”.

“That day, like the seer, I wanted to stay and fight alongside him till the last moment but he refused. According to him, it was too dangerous for me”.

“That f*cker!” ElKing got angry as he downed another drum of beer.

“I wish he can see me now, I’m the strongest Elementalist alive!”

“I fear no one!”

“How dare he tell me it’s too dangerous for me?” ElKing downed another drum of beer out of frustration and anger, this was when he finally noticed how awkward the atmosphere was at this moment.

“Ahem…,” He coughed, rubbing his nose awkwardly.

“Anyways, that day that he left, he gave me a mission”.

“He believed that another Earthling will come and will have the same or even better talent than he did, he also calculated that you would most likely be a Summoner”.

“As for the mission that he gave me…,” ElKing inclined his head to look at Legolas. “Your journey was fated to be the smoothest of the 3 Earthlings”.

“I already have a complete plan for the raid of the century”. ElKing grinned.

“The raid of the century?”

This notorious pirate nodded. “The raid to steal the core of the planetary defense measures of the 3 hegemons, you know how long I’ve waited for it?”

“…” Legolas’ eyes widened even further.

“Gugugugugu…!” ElKing cackled as he downed another drum of beer.

“Also, tell me anything in the list that you’re yet to acquire. I may be a pirate but I am one of the strongest Beyond Grade As alive”.

“My influence and connections are immense”.

“I will help you get them all during the preparation time for the raid”.

“Lastly, like Maximus ordered, I gathered millions of the immortals, those set of unique existences that Maximus called players”.

“They disappeared after Maximus left this reality but he predicted it and he also predicted their return”.

“I’ve been giving them missions since their 2nd appearance like he predicted, their reappearance was proof that you indeed came into this reality”.

“Don’t worry, you have enough experience points to reach the peak of this universe within the next 2 to 5 years”.

“…!” Legolas’ eyes widened even further into saucers.

‘This is too good to be true!’

It took a few deep breaths for him to calm down. “You’ve been using the term reality since and I can’t help but think, since you know so much, do you also know the mystery behind my reincarnation and exactly what Dominator is?”

“…” ElKing just looked at Legolas for seconds with a wide grin on his face.

Then he stood up. “You’ll know when you get to the peak of this reality”.

“We have no time, start getting prepared”.

Legolas took a deep breath to calm his rapidly beating heart.

Meeting ElKing was an even more shocking event than he expected, it completely brought an upheaval to all his plans, rapidly accelerating everything.

Though he wanted to know everything now, since ElKing didn’t feel like telling him, he settled for waiting till he became strong enough.

‘Perhaps, learning the truth myself will be even more satisfying’.

He no longer hesitated.

The Straw Hat Pirates entered the space pocket world of the ElKing Pirates a few minutes later where they got the news that both pirate crews just became allies, and this was when Legolas got the juicy good that he wanted.

—–

[Congratulations! You have received an XP inheritance!]

[Are you willing to claim XP?]

—-

Legolas grinned. “Yes”.

Notifications instantly spammed his face as hundreds of trillions of XP started being credited into his account, Legolas grinned like a mad man throughout.

Without hesitation, he started his leveling up process.

…

5 years later…

The uprising and infamous Straw Hat Pirates seemed to enter a state of hiatus as for 5 years nothing was heard of them, it was like they just disappeared.

During this period, relative peace existed in the territories of the Azure Pantheon, everyone seemed to forget about Straw Hat Goffy.

Unknown to them, this pirate rapidly leveled up in the dark. Within just 5 years, Legolas was able to level up to the peak of the Grade S realm.

His law domain finally unlocked a connection with this universe, increasing his power to a whole other level as a lot of mysteries became revealed to him yet, the core mysteries that he wanted to know remained mysteries.

Legolas remained patient though, this was because he would get what he wanted soon. Afterall, it was time for the raid of the century.

That day, the capital planet of the Azure Pantheon, Temple of the Azure Gods witnessed a humiliating moment that reminded of the days of Gigachad.

“GUGUGUGUGUG…!” Cackling maniacally, the crazy ElKing led his pirates as they launched an all-out attack against the headquarters of the Azure Pantheon.

The attack came so fast and so unexpectedly, the Azure Pantheon could barely react yet they had one of the strongest Supers in the universe here.

“Law Domain: Soul Realm- Overlap!”

BZZZ!

“How dare you invade into my domain?!”

Soul Emperor Clorex was angered but the Lord of Elementalists did not back down. Downing a drum of beer, he cackled maniacally as his apocalyptic mana erupted like an unstoppable avalanche, covering this whole planet.

lightsΝοvel “Law Domain: Realm- Elemental Infusion!”

This was a battle that already transcended the realities of this universe.

Everything that happened could not be comprehended by those that were weaker, peak Beyond Grade As in their domains were literally Gods.

The eerie yellow color of the Soul Emperor fluctuated as countless different beasts from the Soul Realm invaded into reality, fighting in battle alongside him.

As for ElKing, elemental creatures of his imagination came to life even as he became an Elemental demonic lifeform himself, jumping into battle.

The battle intensity was crazy.

With ElKing tying the Soul Emperor down, the real protagonist got to do what he needed to do, completely catching the Azure Pantheon off-guard.

—-

[Effects of Title has been triggered: Legendary Thief!]

—-

He was already a legendary figure among pirates.

Today, he became a legendary figure among thieves.

On this day, Straw Hat Goffy became only the 2nd existence in the history of this universe after Gigachad to steal publicly from the Azure Pantheon.

Legolas got 1 out of his 3 foremost goals, the core of the planetary defense measure of the Azure Pantheon, the AG-19 also known as the Azure Zeus.

History was written on this day.

Yet more history was to be written.
