Chapter 1041 1041
The arrival of Guests continued. All the guests were welcomed through the small opening left by the Star Alliance in the barrier.
It was a show to make everyone realize how serious they had taken Lucifer, all to create a bigger impact when they told everyone that they had killed Lucifer. It was also to show the Hidden Clans that the Star Alliance wasn"t weak and had methods to protect itself.
Guests kept pa.s.sing through the entrance. As all hidden clans had distinct physical traits, there wasn"t much left to check. Still, the Star Alliance used a unique system that checked for illusions and impersonations.
The entire city was illuminated as it welcomed many distinguished guests. It was as if an atmosphere of celebration had been created. Ever since the death of their Queen, a scene like this was hard to come by.
The Royal Palace that once used to belong to the Queen now belonged to the Generals of Star Alliance that were leading the organization. This was also the place where they were welcoming all the guests.
The last time a celebration like this had taken place in the Palace was when Lucifer and the Queen had gotten married. And now a celebration was taking place for the death of Lucifer.
Far away from the Royal City, Lucifer was walking in the direction, but for some reason, he wasn"t in any hurry. He could see many people flying through the sky, going towards Star City.
Amongst the people, he recognised a few prominent clans as well, some almost on the same standing as the Dragon Clan, if not higher.
Although he wasn"t sure why so many people were here, but he felt glad that they were. This made things easier for him. That"s also why he wasn"t in a hurry. He wanted to give them all a chance to gather.
Instead of flying and directly entering the city, he was walking at a normal pace.
He soon walked past the place where he had taken his friends from Ron"s grandfather. The moment was still vivid in his mind. Everyone present at that moment had already died.
Ron was dead. His grandfather was dead. The Generals were dead. And more importantly, the people he tried to save... They were dead. And all of them died because of him.
As he walked past the place, he was reminded of the look in the eyes of his friends when they were freed. At the moment, he was still angry so he didn"t talk to them, or even behave nicely.
They even apologized to him in the flight despite not knowing what they did wrong. He still hasn"t forgiven them. He hadn"t known that it was going to be the last time he was going to see them. If only he had known...

Another major clan flew through the sky. It was another Hidden Clan, but there was something about them that even attracted Lucifer"s attention.
When the clan members flew through the sky, the s.p.a.ce around them was in turmoil. It was as if they weren"t flying through the air. Instead, they were going through the s.p.a.ce as if they were flying.
He was certain that there was only one clan capable of such. It was a clan that was the master of s.p.a.ce. He had wanted to learn from them, but he hadn"t been able to.
In the end, he never had the opportunity. He could only rely on the strange new core to finally be able to travel through s.p.a.ce with a freedom that he never had before.
"Grandfather, that man can see us?"
High in the sky, one of the clan Members felt a gaze on them. It was a young man, barely in his late twenties. Unlike the Dragon Clan, the Spatial Clan wasn"t long lived. Their lifespan was similar to humans, only slightly more.
The young man was surprised as he saw a man on the ground looking in their direction. When they were gliding through the s.p.a.ce, it was almost impossible to see them. Yet the man was able to see him.
His grandfather also looked down, but by then, Lucifer had taken his eyes off, losing interest in them
"It must"ve been a coincidence that we happened to be here when he looked at the sky. It"s impossible for him to see us." The old man didn"t believe the words of his grandson.
It was his skill that they were using. Unless it was a Head of some Major Clan, it was impossible for anyone to see through his technique. And even those powerful figures from other clans could only see through this technique when he was close to them.
Their distance from the man was too far. Even those powerful figures couldn"t find him from such a distance, at least not unless he showed some clear killing intent.
Although his grandfather said that it was impossible, but still, the young man felt that something was wrong.
"Grandfather, you go ahead. I"ll catch up with you." The young man slowed down, letting his grandfather move ahead.
Although his grandson stopped, but the old man didn"t bother much about it. He knew what his grandson was capable of.
Moreover, he had a treasure that could not only protect his life for a short period of time from any attack, but he could also alert them if his life was at risk. So he didn"t worry about his grandson"s safety.
After his grandson flew away, the young man s.h.i.+fted his attention to Lucifer on the ground. He wanted to check for himself if Lucifer could see him, or if it was all his misconception.
He flew down, getting closer to Lucifer while still maintaining his distance as he hovered in the air, simply observing Lucifer walking like an ordinary human.
The young man observed Lucifer for quite some time, occasionally getting even closer. However, Lucifer didn"t react.
"I suppose grandfather was right. He can"t see me." The young man sighed, scratching the back of his head in embarra.s.sment. But still, just to be certain, he landed next to Lucifer this time, getting so close that there was only a few meters of distance between them.
Unfortunately for him, this time Lucifer didn"t ignore him. The young man was stunned as he saw Lucifer looking in his direction, as if he could actually see.
