Chapter 726: 726

"Good. Then it's time for me to let the world know my message." Lucifer patted his clothes casually as he took a step back. 

"The citizens of this beautiful nation. Listen carefully to my message. Your life and death might depend on what I'm about to say next!"

He sat on the seat, resting his right foot over his left.

The cameraman kept his focus on Lucifer in a bid to stay alive. 

"I'm sure you all know the person known as Xaen? The head of the Academy of Gifted Variants and the so-called hero of the battle against Dark Variants here."

" However, your hero has taken something precious from me, and I want it back. If Xaen doesn't return what he took personally, you'll all pay me with your lives like them." He pointed towards Franci. 

" Xaen, I'm sure you're seeing me right now. If you're really a hero who cares for the lives of citizens, come and meet me. And don't forget to bring her."

He stood up and walked to the door, looking down. 

He glanced back at the Camera. 

"Or you can be a coward like you are. I'll just destroy this entire Island. Keep the stones and protect a world that will have no life left on it! I'll wait for you in the place where we first met. That's where it started, and that's where it shall end."

After giving his warning, he turned into a shadow and disappeared. 

The camera was shifted to focus on the destruction that was left behind while others tried to find Lucifer. None could locate him though. 

All they could find were bodies left behind. Most of them were completely destroyed, while a few of them were left behind. 

...

Xaen was watching the live broadcast on his phone. He even heard the threat of Lucifer, which simply brought a smile to his face. 

He stood up and stretched his arms, yawning. 

"He's coming here. She isn't ready, though. I suppose I need to keep him busy in the meantime."

He clapped his hand. A portal appeared under the lady who was lying near him. Her body was swallowed by the portal. 

Another portal opened up before Xaen. He stepped inside the portal personally, appearing inside a place that appeared like someone's bedroom. 

In the room, there was one wall-mounted TV. The News Channel on the TV was showing live footage. 

"It looks like you saw his declaration too. Do you have any doubts that your friend is too far gone? Power has corrupted him. He killed so many innocents, all for nothing. You know he will never stop."

"He says he'll stop after finding me? But you know that's not the case. When has he ever stopped? After killing one person, he moves over to the next. You can see it already, can't you? He has started losing himself."

"If I want, I can kill Lucifer anytime I want. I'm sure you know it as well. The only reason I'm avoiding him is because I don't want to have to kill him, but he's not making it easy for me."

"Now that leaves a question for you. Do you want me to go meet him? That will mean he will die. Or do you want to stop the matter before it deteriorates so much?"

Xaen kept talking as he observed a figure which was sitting on a nearby chair.

"What do I have to do?" The second person in the room replied. 

"It's simple. What's corrupting him is his powers. They're overtaking his mind. Moreover, the abilities he steals from others? I don't think it's just the abilities he receives. He also receives a fraction of the other person's soul and their trail.'

"All these traits have made him go crazy. If you want Lucifer to live and not become a complete beast, there's only one thing you can do," Xaen said. "You need to take away his powers. Then we can help him."

"If you don't do it, Lucifer will die in my hands. And if he somehow survives and kills me instead, things will get worse. He'll become a bloodthirsty beast soon enough. Then it will be too late to stop him."

"It's the right time! You can still stop him now, Cassius! Take away his powers."

"I take away his powers?" Cassius stood up, frowning. "How can I take his powers? I don't have such an ability."

"You don't need an ability to do it. You just need a bit of Lucifer's trust. And Lucifer still hasn't lost half entirely. I believe you will still have his trust to some extent."

Xaen snapped his fingers. A bottle of wine came out of a portal that opened just above his hand. 

He stepped closer to Cassius. 

"Make him drink this. It will suppress his powers without taking them away. Then we can help him. He'll be able to think clearly. We can finally get the old Lucifer back. Do you think you can do it?" Xaen asked softly. 

Cassius took the bottle from Xaen. "This will help him?"

"It will. And I can guarantee that. It won't harm him either. Can you do it?"

 Cassius observed the bottle for a brief moment before nodding his head. "I will do it. If it can help him, I'll do it."

"Good boy," Xaen smirked, patting the shoulder of Cassius. "We already know where he'll be coming next. Let me send you there."

He opened a portal before Cassius. 

Cassius stepped inside the portal, taking a deep breath. The portal closed behind him. 

Stepping out of the portal, he found himself in the auditorium.

"The place where he first met Xaen... It's also the place where he first met me," Cassius muttered as he walked to the same seat where he sat in the past. 

He placed the wine bottle on the seat beside him. 

Thud~

A few minutes after Cassius sat on the chair, the door opened. 

The sound of footsteps started getting closer. Cassius didn't even look back to know who had arrived. 

Lucifer walked to the front row. He also took the same seat that he had taken during the initiation ceremony. 

"May I ask what you're doing here?" Lucifer asked, without even looking at Cassius. "Are you siding with Xaen against me?"

"I will never side against you," Cassius answered. "I'm just here to meet you. Don't tell me you thought only Xaen would know the place where you two first met?" 

"If you're here to stop me, you're going to have a rude awakening. Leave. If Xaen isn't here in five minutes, I'll destroy the academy. I won't care if you're here or not."

Lucifer folded his arms and closed his eyes as he started waiting.
