SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family-Chapter 413: How could they be KILLED?!
Meanwhile, deep inside the world's core, where no sunlight reached, an ancient prison lay hidden. The air was thick, filled with a heavy silence that hadn't been broken for centuries.
This wasn't just any prison.
It was the final seal placed by the World's Will itself, locking away some of the most dangerous beings to ever set foot in the universe—the true leaders of the Space Pirates.
At the center of this prison, a massive figure sat chained in heavy restraints. Dredmor the Black Tyrant, the Pirate Lord, had once commanded an armada that spread terror across countless worlds.
Now, he was nothing more than a prisoner, shackled by divine chains, his power suppressed to the lowest possible level.
Around him, his most trusted vice captains were bound in similar restraints, their expressions frozen in time—waiting, silent, motionless.
They had been trapped here for centuries.
Waiting for their moment to strike.
Then—
A sharp cough broke the silence.
One of the vice captains, Varik the Horde, trembled as blood dripped from his mouth. His eyes snapped open, glowing faintly in the darkness.
The stillness of the prison shifted.
Dredmor's eye opened, glowing dimly as he turned to his vice captain.
"What happened?" His voice was rough, like it hadn't been used in years.
Varik exhaled, his breath shaky. "...The life signals of the ones who were sealed in the first layer have shattered."
The entire prison froze.
Then—
A sudden roar of anger erupted from every pirate.
The vice captains all jolted awake, their bodies trembling as power surged within them. The air crackled, and for the first time in centuries, the prison felt alive again.
Dredmor's single eye narrowed. "The locks are broken?"
Varik nodded. His voice was hoarse. "The five vice captains and their crews... they've been killed."
Silence.
Then—
The prison shook as every single pirate screamed in rage.
Chains rattled violently, and the very walls trembled under their fury.
Their bodies surged with power, the energy around them growing more and more unstable.
"KILLED?!" Dredmor bellowed, his voice echoing through the darkness. "How could they be KILLED?!"
"Although we were bound here due to our overconfidence, this is still a weal new planet," Varik said, his teeth clenched in rage.
"But to be able to kill them, it would mean that the world has been upgraded to a middle-level world, which is when the first seal is removed.
And this should have been our rise from the grave, but you are telling me that all of my boys were unable to take care of the inhabitants in this primitive planet and were instead killed?"
Dredmor's voice was like a storm.
"How could that happen?!"
"I don't know!" Varik growled. "But I can tell you that they all died really quickly as their life locks disappeared in quick succession, so the inhabitants are not weak and should have some strength."
This caused many of the pirates to slam their fists against the ground; others howled like beasts, their voices echoing through the void.
"They dared—"
"They slaughtered our people?"
"They will pay for this!"
One of the vice captains, a giant brute covered in scars, let out a furious growl. "They think they can kill our men and get away with it?"
Another, a thin, sharp-eyed man with pale skin, sneered. "The fools must believe themselves untouchable. They must think their world is safe."
Dredmor remained silent, his eye burning with a cold, deadly intensity.
Then, without warning, he surged to his feet, his massive frame towering over the other pirates.
"No matter how strong the natives of this world are," he roared, his voice shaking the very foundations of the prison. "I will destroy them! I will break them! And I will raze their world to the ground!"
The vice captains all fell silent, their auras flaring wildly.
"Yes, Captain!"
But before they could continue, the chains tying them down suddenly glowed as a surge of power went through the chains and into the bodies of the pirates.
This caused all of them except for Dredmor to howl in pain as they tried their best not to faint from the amount of pain their body were currently experiencing.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
The sound was deafening.
Even Dredmor grimaced as the chains dug deeper into his flesh, his muscles straining against the bindings.
Then, the light faded, and the vice captains collapsed, gasping for breath.
This was the punishment these pirates would get whenever they tried to forcefully break the chains, and every time, the pain just kept on getting worse.
But Dredmor's focus was not on this, as he kept muttering to himself.
"They killed my men?" he muttered, his voice eerily calm.
The chains groaned, responding to his rising power.
And as it did, so did the power that was being used to punish him.
"They destroyed my fleet?"
The prison rumbled.
"They will suffer."
The killing intent that poured from him was suffocating.
Every pirate felt it—the weight of their leader's fury pressing down on them like a tidal wave.
The vice captains pulled at their chains harder, their muscles straining, their eyes filled with nothing but rage and bloodlust.
Dredmor didn't scream.
He didn't curse.
He simply spoke, his voice carrying a terrifying certainty.
"Just you wait, I will find a way to get out of this, and when I do, I will kill you all, and then I will slaughter your families, and then I will burn down your homes and leave nothing but ashes in my wake."
A promise.
A threat.
A vow.
The vice captains all shivered, their auras pulsing with fear and hatred.
They knew their leader was no longer the man he had once been.
But they also knew that he became like this due to constant torture from the World and his own pride, which had always made him not take anything seriously.
However, they also knew that as long as their captain was able to get over this, he would be the one to break this seal and let them free.
So, for now, they would stay, and they would bide their time, waiting for the day when the seals were finally broken.
And when that day came, they would be ready.
