Imo it's quite clear now that Lucius has been rewinding time all along during the Raid to the Spade Kingdom and that's why everyone is seemingly fine.
This graph explains it quite well.
During that period of time a lot of things happened that would make no sense otherwise. Asta stated he'd need 30 minutes to recover from his Devil Union but used it quite soon after that.
Asta appearing at the exact moment to save Nacht.
No one dying.
Etc/
It is all because Lucius kept rewinding the time to get the best possible outcome and the one he desired. It's possible and highly likely that multiple characters had died, including Asta, Yami, Yuno, Mereoleona, etc. But Lucius rewound time and that didn't happen. That's why Adra just sat there and waited. He knew what was up.
And the desired outcome occurred. Lucifero was defeated, everyone was down on the ground, and no one could stop Adra from swooping in and taking Lucifero's heart.
Many have had complaints with this arc, me included, and with Lucifero not living up to the hype, again me included, however, this presents a totally new perspective. It is highly likely that Lucifero had killed everyone, multiple times even, however, Lucius kept rewinding time and screwing him over, until the fight went the way he wanted it, which resulted in him obtaining Lucifero's heart. It's not that this arc had no tension or stuff like that, imo it's that we were played. Tabata clearly couldn't show us the timelines changing cuz then it would be too obvious. I think this was a great move by Tabata. Almost every 'plot convenience' is easily negated now that we know Lucius has been in control of time.
Now why does Lucius want Lucifero's heart and his death?
Well I got a few ideas.
- Astaroth, the devil of time, wants to be the one and only supreme ruler of Hell.
- Astaroth or Lucius was Licita's lover and Asta's father and hates Lucifero for killing Licita.
- Lucius wants Lucifero's power for himself.
If you noticed Adra calls him Lucius not Astaroth. Imo that might point to the fact that Astaroth actually vanished and was killed by Lucius who then consumed his heart or something in the vein and gained time magic. Astaroth is on the same tier as Lucifero, whose manifestation would destroy the world with what we've been told. It's also imo difficult to believe that no one noticed such a presence. So there is a chance that Lucius took Astaroth's power for himself.
Lucius' og magic is most likely some type of brain and/or soul magic. The Zogratis' siblings have magic associated with the body. Dante body magic duh, Zenon bone magic, Vanica blood magic. All that's left for Lucius is brain/soul magic. Perhaps he tricked Astaroth and consumed his power using his magic or made a binding vow and outplayed him.
Too many ideas are flooding into my head lol.
Anyway let me know what you guys think.

always knew Julius was the baddest mother fucker out there. Gotta admit the constant time fuckery is absolutely insane and definitely makes a lot of my niggles with the series seem a lot smaller
