Confirmation of Lucius Zogratis’ identity was made in Black Clover chapter 331. In addition to astonishing readers, Tabata also validated the “clock idea” that had been circulating among fans following the Lucifero battle. While this is good news, Tabata also says he’s going to take some time off to be ready for the Final Act. The Weekly Shonen Jump editorial department revealed at the conclusion of Black Clover chapter 331 that it will take roughly 3 months for the manga to return from this break.
After the struggle in the last chapter, Adrammelech flew away with Lucifero’s heart in his hands. Mimosa was able to heal Nacht and Yami thanks to Charmy’s meal. Yami was unable to hear Charlotte’s confession to him while he was unconscious. In the end, Nacht and his Squad decided to return home. “And Time Starts to Move,” the title of Black Clover chapter 331.
Chapter 331 of Black Clover begins with Nacht advising Yuno that he has to meet someone. The truth that Yuno’s mother, Queen Ciel Grinberryall, is still alive as the de facto queen of the Spade Kingdom is revealed. Upon their emotional reunion, the Queen and the authorities of the Kingdom of Spades ask Yuno to stay and aid in the reconstruction of their kingdom. Even if he may in the future, Yuno says he has obligations to the Clover kingdom and his oath to Asta, whom he refers to as his “clover family,” to keep.
When Liebe told him that Licita was his mother, Asta was overjoyed and thanked her. Both Asta and Yuno reconfirm their desire to be the Wizard King, but Asta understands that he will need to establish Liebe’s innocence to Damnatio Kira. Wizard King Julius Novachrono returns to the Clover Kingdom and expresses his gratitude to Marx for his report on Spade. Since the Qilphoth’s appearance, Julius has been plagued with a sense of dread.
A 20-year-old investigation has unearthed new facts on devil hosts, Damnatio Kira tells him. Neither Megicula nor Qilphoth ever included Megicula. There were three great demons who dominated the Underworld: Lucifero, Beelzebub, and Astaroth, the Time Devils. That Megicula was granted Astaroth’s job before he fled from the Underworld, Damnatio believes. Damnatio claims that Julius is the only person who has ever utilised Time Magic since he understands that his acts have always been motivated by a different reason. Damnatio begs him to stop, but a shadowy entity emerges from Julius and kills him. In the end, Julius’s coverless Grimoire becomes a Spade grimoire.
At this point, Adrammelech shows in and introduces himself as Lucius Zogratis and confirms that everything happened as expected. ‘The moment has arrived.’ Lucius proclaims with a grin. Lucius has been rewinding time and reviving everyone until he obtains the desired conclusion, which is confirmed in Black Clover chapter 331 by a concentration on the clock tower. This helps to explain why Lucifero’s fight was so quick and simple.
As for the number of times Asta and his colleagues had to be saved by Lucius, that’s difficult to say with any certainty. William and Yami’s recruitment by Julius seems questionable in retrospect, as are Julius’ other acts. It’s not apparent if Julius was a facade or an alter ego from Black Clover chapter 331; yet, it can be argued that he had his own awareness. Lucius, on the other hand, appears to be alert and in command. If Yuno returns to the Clover Kingdom, it is probable that Yuno and Asta will take the last stand in their battle against the previous Wizard King.
