Chapter 608 - 608: Ask Him
"Don"t worry. Since I"m not lying, I won"t need to make something up. The reason I look the same is because that"s exactly how I"ve always liked since I awakened," Eve replied.
"It has been decades actually. My ability doesn"t let me age. I was eighteen before I awakened, and I"ll be eighteen even after a hundred years if nothing changes," she added.
" So you are an immortal," Lucifer summarized.
"That won"t be a correct statement. Immortal means I"m unable to die. Actually, I can die. I"m not as, ah, resilient as you with your healing. But I do have some tricks up my sleeves as well. So I"m harder to kill, but not impossible," Eve replied.
"That still doesn"t answer why I should trust you. How does that prove you didn"t just plant memories in my head about seeing you?" Lucifer inquired again. He brought her back to life for his answers, and he wasn"t going to let her go easily.
"Sigh, you know, that"s the problem with you. You"re always so serious." Eve chuckled. "But I also know what kind of person you are. So I"m not surprised. But I"ll answer that question as well."
"I can prove that I didn"t plant any memories in your head," she added.
"Prove how?" Lucifer asked.
"Simple. I can prove it easily. As for how that was the case, I"m not sure. If I simply messed with your memories, that means I was nowhere close to your friend Ca.s.sius, right?" Eve asked. "No way I could have messed with his head."
"And if I could actually mess with his head from so far away, won"t I be too overpowered? Why would I even need you to wake me up?"
"So you know about Ca.s.sius. How does it matter? You could have found out about him in my memories?" Lucifer asked. "What does it prove?"
"If I knew about it from your memories, why would I know his phone pa.s.sword? Unless you"re claiming that you know his pa.s.sword?" Eve asked.
Seeing Lucifer frown, she further continued. "Go ahead and call him. Ask him if his pa.s.sword is 23864 or not."
Lucifer brought his gla.s.ses out and contacted Ca.s.sius.
"Where are you?" he asked as soon as Ca.s.sius picked up the call.
"I"m on a flight to Zeston. Should be there in two days," Ca.s.sius asked. "Jean from Uprising, Alicia, and some n.o.bles are also traveling with me."
"You"re coming as well?" Lucifer asked.
"Of course. How can I stay back after all this? I"m also bringing the Limiters with me," Ca.s.sius replied.
"Get to the point," Eve reminded Lucifer.
"Ca.s.sius, answer me one thing honestly."
" You sound serious. Ask."
"Is the pa.s.sword of your phone 23864?" Lucifer asked.
"Ah, how did you know? I changed the pa.s.sword only yesterday. How did you find out?" Ca.s.sius was slightly surprised to see Lucifer guess his pa.s.sword so easily.
Lucifer looked back at Eve, who had a calm smile on her face. "Alright, I"ll call you later."
He took off the gla.s.ses and kept them back in his pocket.
"Do you believe me now?"
"How did you know about it?" Lucifer asked calmly.
"Because I was in dreamworld until you woke me up."
"What is this Dreamworld?"
"Ah, think of it as a special s.p.a.ce. In this way, I can travel to any part of the world and see whatever I want to see. I was with your friend Ca.s.sius when he was changing his pa.s.sword. Similarly, I was watching over the meeting of the Warlock Council until recently," Eve replied.
"I mean, honestly. I didn"t even know that you were going to try to wake me up," she added. "I"m actually surprised it worked. With how chaotic your lightning is, I thought you"d kill me the moment you try something like this."
"Meeting of the Warlock Council? What meeting?"
"Oh that? Nothing. They just talked about inviting you to join them. They want to make you a part of the Warlock Council to use you against the Divine Empire. And then after the Divine Empire fell, they wanted to kill you," Eve replied.
"Not a bad plan honestly. Albeit, a wrong situation. How could they have known that you already have the Divine Empire with you," Eve answered, smiling.
Grrrr~
Grrrr~
Lucifer was hearing Eve"s words when his gla.s.ses started vibrating.
He wore the gla.s.ses again and picked up the call after seeing the name of Kellian. "Yeah?"
"Kane contacted me from Elisium. There"s something you should know."
"Is it about the invitation of the Warlock Council for me?" Lucifer asked, glancing at Eve.
"This... How did you know about him? He told me he didn"t inform you yet?" Kellian inquired, surprised.
"Nothing. I"ll tell you later. When are you getting here?"
"The town? A couple of hours, and we"ll be there."
"Good. I"ll talk to you there."
Lucifer took off his gla.s.ses.
"Do you trust me now? I wasn"t lying. I was just trapped in an unfortunate situation."
"What situation?"
Eve took a deep breath before she started talking about herself and how she awakened. She also spoke about the establishment of Atlantis and how she was poisoned.
"They poisoned me and buried me in the ground. But they didn"t know about all my abilities. Choosing poison against me wasn"t a good decision," she said.
"You have poison immunity?" Lucifer asked, taking a guess.
"Something similar to that but not quite. It"s just that my body can refine the toxins it encounters. But the problem is that it literally shuts itself down to refine the poison. And I have no control over it."
"The poison didn"t kill me. But my annoying ability shut my body down. My heart stopped, and I was trapped in the Dreamland. Unlucky, isn"t it? An ability which is so messy for its owner?" Eve asked.
"It happened even once before. Fortunately, it was when I was young. I was taken to the hospital and came back to life. However, this time, I was buried in the middle of nowhere."
"All I could do was spend time in dreamland, watching others live their lives and imagine myself in their place." She released a mouthful of breathing and sighed.
"Why didn"t you ask anyone to help you?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"Because I couldn"t. I could watch others from the Dreamworld but not talk to them. None of them could come inside the Dreamland either. And even if someone could come, it wouldn"t matter. After leaving the Dreamworld, they were going to lose all their memories regarding the interaction," Eve explained.
"That"s why I was so surprised when you entered the Dreamworld."
