Chapter 985: Conflict of heart
It was like an uncontrollable force of nature that even he couldn"t control...
Lucifer floated in s.p.a.ce, wondering where he even was. He had been floating for so long that he couldn"t even see any stars around him.
He wore some Clothes before he raised his hand and cast a Summoning Spell right in the s.p.a.ce itself. Usually, a spell like that needed a world to bind itself to, but with the increase in his strength, the Summoning Circle appeared in the air right before him.
The beautiful red Summoning circle wasn"t much different from before, but it felt stronger, holding an essence of that strange energy.
He used his decay on the formation circle to still create a flaw in it before the Summoning could succeed, creating a reverse Summoning.
He placed his hands on the Formation Circle that was starting to break apart.
Lucifer"s body was sucked inside the portal and disappeared from the empty vast s.p.a.ce, appearing back on the earth inside the Headquarters once more.
Once again, he didn"t meet his family. He cast another Summoning, this time connecting to the beast that was in the world of Nimel Clan.
He wasn"t sure what a mess he had created. To see if this mess affected earth or not, he wanted to get to the Star Alliance as soon as possible and check the status. So many Generals had been killed after all. If anyone found out that he was missing things could get even worse for him.
Another Summoning Circle appeared, only to be broken by him again. Lucifer disappeared again, finally reaching his destination.
He appeared in the room that was a.s.signed to him in the Nimel Clan mansion.
"Did anyone come here?" he asked the beast as soon as he appeared in the room.
The beast shook his head. "No one disturbed. No one even knocked."
"Good. You can go back," Lucifer sent the Beast back to earth again.
After sending the beast back, Lucifer walked closer to the mirror, observing his reflection to find out just what had changed about him after he merged with that strength and his memories.
His aura was no different than before since he didn"t let his new aura leak. However, his skin seemed even better now. He could also feel that he was a little taller. Other than that, everything felt the same.
"Not much physical difference," he muttered. "That"s better in any case. Too many changes would"ve been too suspicious. Now all I need is to find information. With the new memories, there are a lot of things to do."
Even though Lucifer didn"t care about the Ancient Clan before, other than being curious about his ident.i.ty, now that he had the memories, he felt different. Through those memories, he had lived the life of the Ancient Clan"s son and that life felt more real than anything.
Not only could he feel that love, but he could also feel the anger for the people who destroyed the Ancient Clan, all over a lie. The story about the Ancient Clan tormenting people, being tyrants and evil? That was all just a lie and he knew all about it.
However, still, even though he lived the life of the Ancient Clan members, could he really destroy the entire universe for revenge? Everyone was involved after all. He just couldn"t get himself to destroy everyone.
The people who killed the Ancient Clan were just working on command of their rulers and had nothing to do with the common people. It was the fault of the greedy rulers. Still, as so much time had pa.s.sed, most of the rulers involved in the war were already dead.
Lucifer didn"t want to kill everyone for his revenge, since it was just useless. He only wanted to kill the people who led the war from each clan, and the ones who actually killed the Ancient Clan Members.
"The Nimel Clan was also a partic.i.p.ant in the war, but they didn"t kill anyone in the war. It seems like they were just a.s.signed the position of backup in case it was needed. The Rasin Clan was a main force which made sure that no one was allowed to escape. They were the ones who enclosed the parameters around the world."
"General Rasin is already dead, so that leaves none in the Rasin Clan. Things are really confusing."
Feeling tired, Lucifer dropped on the bed. His mind was so confused. He didn"t know what to do. His new memories were telling him to kill every clan member that had a hand in this war. However, his reasoning was telling him that it was just a waste of time to punish everyone, even commoners.
In his mind, an inner war was going on between his heart that wanted to kill everyone, and his mind that wanted to be reasonable and only publish the leaders.
After a long time, Lucifer finally stood up. "Do I even have the strength to go against everyone at once? The burst of energy was strong, but I can"t use it at all. It"s not in my control and if it runs wild, it might destroy even the ones I don"t want to die?"
Eventually, he left the decision for later. First, he decided to check the situation outside, leaving the final decision in the back of his head.
Lucifer left the room. Just as he had asked, the entire corridor was completely empty. Not a single person could be seen anywhere in these parts of the castle.
Lucifer reached the main throne room to find the others, only to be stopped outside the door by the guards.
"A meeting is going on. Please wait outside. Once the meeting is over, we"ll inform His Majesty about your arrival."
Lucifer didn"t force himself inside. He just nodded and stepped aside, but not before leaving a small shadow behind which entered the Royal Hall.
As Lucifer waited outside the hall, his Shadow entered the place, hearing everything that was being discussed there.
