Hearing his stories, even the people who had been with him since the start were amazed. Many of them looked at him in amazement.
What shocked Alicia the most was the part where Lucifer confessed about Killing Raia. She hadnât known that he did it, but after hearing his story, she understood why he did it. She could understand his reasoning.
What she didnât know was that there was a more shocking part that was to come regarding Lucifer Killing Vega.
Lucifer knew that Alicia was in the room already. He could see her through the corner of his eyes as he spoke. He didnât know how she was going to take it. Vega had been like a father to her, but he didnât forget to mention that Vega had messed with her memories, and he wasnât her real father and that he had betrayed them.
Every single person he had killed was either an enemy or someone who betrayed him.
Lucifer even talked about the war with the Divine Empire as he introduced Milena. He introduced everyone through his stories, telling his parents how he met everyone.
After a long time, the story finished. Throughout the story, his parents remained on one spot as if they were living the story through Luciferâs words.
âSo you went into the past and met us. That was really you! I did think that you looked familiar! You were their friend I had that had disappeared!â Zale let out, slightly amazed. âSo this is why you had disappeared. You came into the future!â
âYou know something fun? The reason we named you Lucifer is also because of it! Itâs because the one we met who helped us was named Lucifer. So your make was inspired by your name,â he added, smiling wryly.
For a long time, he had wondered where that man had gone and why such a strong man hadnât come out in the last great war where Zale rose to prominence. He was sure that if Lucifer were there at that time, he wouldâve taken all the limelight.
âI had a feeling this was the case. Lucifer isnât a common name after all,â Lucifer responded. âIt seems to be a paradox. You named me because you met me as Lucifer. And you met me as Lucifer because you named me Lucifer. One isnât possible without the other â
He was really curious how everything worked. Just what happened first?
He shook his head. âLeaving that aside. It seems you remember meeting me. So it did happen. Then tell me, why didnât you read what was in the letter and change your future?â
âThe letter? Ah right! That letter. As soon as you left, we were attacked, and that letter was destroyed before we could even read it. I always wondered what was in the letter,â Zale answered. âIt seems the letter was your way of telling us what was going to happen in the future, wasnât it?â
Lucifer nodded. âI wrote in that letter my real identity and what was going to happen to you in the future and who betrayed you. It seems sometimes itâs really hard to change the future even if we try. That letter just had to be destroyed.â
âBut maybe that was for the good. If the letter wasnât destroyed, you would have acted differently. I mightâve been different too. I might not have a hard life like I did, but I also wouldnât have this family that I had created in your absence.â Luciferâs gaze roamed over everyone in the hall, observing all the Uprising members and his friends that he had made along the way.
âI am happy what happened, especially now that youâre all back. I feel like the family is completed. Now I can leave this place without any worries. Youâll all be safe here,â he added, sighing.
âLeave this place? Wait, what?â Zale exclaimed. âYouâre leaving?â
Lucifer nodded. âI need to leave. I need to meet that peeps. Even though youâll always be my family, I still want to find my origins, and only that person can tell me my origins. If I stay on earth, I can never find my true origins. Thatâs why I must leave. But before that, I want to finish some things.â
âWhen will you leave?â Clarisse asked, with a pale face.
She has just reunited with her son, and he was talking about leaving?
âI would take one month to finish what I want to finish here, so after a month,â Lucifer let out, sighing. âThe ship should be here by then with the information about the other stones. By then, Iâll collect the stones on Earth and finish the takeover.â
âTakeover? You mean conquering Earth?â Zale asked, frowning. âYou still want to do it?â
âI wonât stop what I started before finishing it,â Lucifer replied.
âSo youâll kill more people?â Zale asked.
âSometimes death is impossible, but I doubt I would need to kill anymore. Iâm sure they all saw the might of my Dragons,â Lucifer smirked.
He could still conjure the Dragons. Without the vessel strength, his Dragon wasnât going to be as strong as what they were before, but only he knew that. On the outside, the Dragon was going to look similar, so he was sure that no one was going to dare oppose him. There was no need to kill anymore.
Atlantis had fallen, the Divine Empire was under his control, and now Warlock Council was his again.
âBefore I leave, I want to see my dream come true, the dream I saw for this world, and I wonât leave that dream incomplete because that wasnât just my dream. There was someone else who saw that Dream. I just took some inspiration and modified that dream according to my needs,â Lucifer exclaimed.
âSo no innocents will die anymore?â Zale inquired.
âNo innocents will die,â Lucifer nodded.
He didnât finish his sentence though. No innocents were going to die as long as they didnât stand in his path.
âAlright. You can do it,â Zale agreed.
âHey, enough talk about warlock stuff between father and son. Let me ask something as well!â Clarisse chimed in. âShe had been sitting silently for a long time.â
âYes, Mother?â
âYou are already an adult now. You are of an age where you can select a wife for you. And I see many beautiful ladies here. According to what you said, three of them are very close to you as well: Alicia, Eve, and Milena. So which of them is going to be my daughter-in-law?â Clarisse inquired.
âCough! Cough!â Lucifer started coughing intently as he heard the question. All three ladies in question were also stunned at what was asked. They all looked at Lucifer to hear his answer.
