Chapter 487 - 487: Wanted To Open To Portal So We Could...
"And then, you made circ.u.mstances in which Milena had no choice but to walk on the path you laid out for her, resulting in where they are now. Now, all the enemies are gone. No one can threaten you in the Empire either. Isn"t that right?"
"So, how close am I?" Lucifer asked after he finished guessing. Even though he had guessed all that, he was sure that he was right. All the clues pointed towards this one theory. There was no way for it to be wrong.
"Kekeke, not bad. You guessed correctly. That"s why I"ll forgive you for calling me a coward," the statue replied. "You don"t have to be jealous though. You"ll also be a part of me soon."
"I understand why you want me. It"s because of my strength. You want to use me to do in the outside world what you had Milena do in the Continent of Darkness. Is that true too?"
"It is." The Statue answered. "All the others were too confident! They waged wars on humans, underestimating them! Who knew those freaking Variants would be so powerful! They defeated all of us."
"I barely managed to escape with my life, realizing that we couldn"t succeed like this! And I wasn"t the only one! But I will be the one who will succeed! I would use you people against you, ultimately taking over the entire world! And then, I would open the portal!"
"The portal? Why do you want to open the portal? Do you even need to open the portal after you have already destroyed everything in this world? What would the person on the other side do after coming here? There would be nothing left to destroy?" Lucifer asked.
As he talked, he used the theory of others, according to which the Dungeon Dwellers wanted to open the portal to call that being here. At least that"s what all the Warlocks said about the motives of Dungeon Dwellers.
"Huh? Open the portal to call him here? Nonsense! We don"t want to call him here!" The statue answered.
"So all the Warlocks were wrong about your motives? Just as I expected. They misunderstood that person..." Lucifer muttered, taking a deep breath.
The only thing he knew was that he was somehow related to the person on the other end of that portal. And now he also knew that the Dungeon Dwellers didn"t want to call him to this world.
"Then why do you want to open the portal to him?" he asked. "Ah, wait. Portals are two sided. If you didn"t want to call him here, then it could only mean two things. You either wanted to talk to him through the portal, or you wanted to go to him? Which one is it?"
"Kekeke, you"re right! We want to open the portal so we can go to him and kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The Statue declared. As he talked, an incredible bloodl.u.s.t surrounded him. A red and white mist also appeared near him.
"Kill?" Lucifer muttered, frowning. He had expected many things about the situation, but this was none of them.
The Dungeon Dwellers weren"t with the person who rested on the other end of the portal? Instead, they were his enemies? They wanted to kill him?
"Who is that person? Before you take over my soul, can you tell me more about him? What is his ident.i.ty? Why do you want to destroy him so badly that your entire race was willing to sacrifice itself against the Variants?" Lucifer asked.
Ever since he knew about that person who had eyes similar to him, he was wondering who that person was.
He wanted to know more about the person who could answer more about his ident.i.ty. Unfortunately, only his parents could have answered that, but even they were dead.
It was finally after a long time that Lucifer found someone who could answer him.
Hearing the question of Lucifer, the statue went silent. He looked upwards, glancing at the dark sky that was covered in black clouds.
"That person... he is a demon!"
"He is the devil that we all want to destroy! He is the biggest criminal of our civilization and our eternal enemy! He"s the person who took everything from us! He is also the person who destroyed our world while wiping billions of us!"
"If it weren"t for our King, our entire civilization would have been wiped in that demon"s hands!"
"He is the one who destroyed your world?" Lucifer asked, stunned.
The reality was going against the a.s.sumptions of other Variants. When they thought that Dungeon Dwellers wanted to call that Inhuman here, it turned out that it wasn"t the case.
When they thought that these two sides were at least working together, he found out that it wasn"t the case and these two sides were enemies?
And lastly, everyone thought that the person would come here to destroy the earth, but it turned out that it wasn"t the case? In fact, he had already destroyed a world in the past, and now the Dungeon Dwellers wanted to go to him to destroy him?
"So he destroyed your world, and you all escaped, coming to earth? That"s why Dungeons appeared here?" Lucifer asked.
"That"s strange though. Why do you want to go to him now? According to him, he is so strong that he destroyed your world, and you couldn"t do anything. Why did you all want to go to him to kill him immediately after you escaped?"
" I mean, it"s clear that you were helpless before him. What makes you think you can defeat him now?" Lucifer asked.
"You"re wrong. We didn"t escape just now! It has been two million years since that thing destroyed our home world! We didn"t come to this world immediately after our world was destroyed!" the statue replied.
" Instead, we waited for close to two million years, getting stronger, increasing our numbers, and waiting for the time we would be capable of taking our revenge!"
"Two million years? He... is two million years old?"
As the conversation reached the topic which was interesting to him, he even forgot his plan to attack. He didn"t want to lose the chance to get his answers.
As for the dark clouds that he had prepared to attack, they remained as they were, waiting for commands from Lucifer.
"Two million years since we last saw him. As for his real age, we don"t know," the Statue replied.
"Now, I shall begin taking over your body. You wasted enough of my time," the statue said as he spread all five of his arms.
The strange mist which was around him started flying outwards, especially moving towards Lucifer.
