Chapter 737 - Taking On The Whole World?
"I don't care about such minor things. It's enough of being careful. It's time for me to come out before the world," Lucifer said. "It's time I let them know what they're dealing with and what will happen if they don't listen to me."
"But I don't want my face before the entire Triton."
Hearing the response of Lucifer, Kellian became a bit concerned.
"But we must do it. We don't know where in Triton those people will be. We need the broadcast to happen everywhere so they know it for sure."
"I think you didn't understand me. What I'm saying is that I don't want my face to be in every nation in Triton. I want my face to be in every nation in this entire world," Lucifer declared, dropping a shocking command on Kellian.
"You want the world to know you and what you've achieved? Don't you think there might be a problem with that? If everyone knows, everyone might be prepared for you."
"The strongest Warlocks of the entire world might come together to take you out. It'll just make our plan more difficult."
"I don't care about that. If it's difficult then so be it. If they all want to come together, so be it. It'll just make it easier for me to handle them at once. Better than finding them one by one. I want you to do as I said!"
"So will you follow the command or you'll betray me like Cassius as well?" he further asked. His words seemed to be filled with disappointment but his voice was completely calm.
"He... Fine. I'll do as you said. What do you want the world to know? I'll give the speech to Caen. He'll give your message word to word."
.....
After giving his message to Kellian, Lucifer stopped the call and returned to his Sacrifice.
Since he had already prepared to take on the entire world, it was time to get stronger as well! He wanted to be ready to welcome everyone.
Throughout the night, Lucifer sat on the empty beach. Not a single person came to the beast as there was a warning that the sea was going to be unstable tonight. People were advised to not go near the sea.
Throughout the night, Lucifer kept sacrificing one ability after another. At the same time, the weather kept getting bad.
The sky was clouded and lightning was flashing as bolts fell with a roaring sound.
However, the lightning wasn't black this time. This wasn't a manipulated storm that came because of Lucifer. Instead, it was a storm that came naturally. Massive waves roze and fell in the sea, some getting close enough to Lucifer that they could've drowned him.
Fortunately the barrier he had cast around himself protected him from the water and the rain. Even the winds couldn't cross the barrier to disturb him.
While Lucifer was performing Sacrifice in complete calm, the entire Island was in chaos. Almost every single household on the island was watching a news channel.
Moreover, all news channels were showing the same news.
All news channels seemed passionate about this news.
"Who is this man? The man who challenged Master Xaen, killed Master Franci and destroyed the Academy of Gifted Variants without being caught? Where is Master Xaen?"
"Tonight we'll ask this question and more with the experts on our panel and try to get some answers."
...
" He did what he said. Where is Master Xaen? Where are the Great Families? Why aren't they stopping this person?"
...
"Who is this kid? A Dark Variant? A lost Youngster? Just what are his goals? No one knows, but your own Channel One has managed to find some exclusive news about the identity of the person! You'll get the answer only on our channel, right after this break!"
"Please stay tuned, we'll be right back."
...
All channels tried to take the lead on the story but only one managed to find something crucial about the identity of Lucifer, all because of one person.
The son of the news channel was a student at the Academy of Gifted Variants. He told his father that he recognised the guy and thus, the simple back became breaking news and the Youngster was brought as guest to talk about Lucifer.
"That's right the person causing all this destruction is none other than a former student of the Academy of Gifted Variants! You heard it right! This monster was taught in the Academy of Gifted Variants," the Anchor said passionately before she turned to the young man.
"So, Jack. You said you studied in the Academy of Gifted Variants with this guy. Who is he? What was he like at the academy? And were you two in the same class?"
"We weren't in the same class but I know him really well since our class trained with theirs once. Apparently he was the best student of his class and every teacher loved him because he was strong."
"So he was the best student of his class? No wonder he is so strong, but still? How can a student be stronger than the teachers? Was he so strong in the Academy? How did such a genius become our enemy then?"
"Genius? Tsk, he is no genius! He is a killer and he was a killer even in the academy. He was always an arrogant prick. He even misbehaved with a teacher once and got a warning."
"In fact, he never really followed rules. He was never on time and broke so many rules that I can't even tell!"
Since his father owned the channel, he had told him to make the interview explosive, even if he had to add some lies to the story and that's exactly what he did.
At least he was still sticking closer to the truth to some extent since Lucifer did break some rules but he didn't mention that it was all intentional.
However, as the boy noticed the cheering of his father from behind the glass, he became more excited as well. He started outright lying.
He talked about how Lucifer misbehaved with girls, how he often groped them. He even said that Lucifer was a bully in the academy, bullying everyone.
"My classmates and friends couldn't take out anymore. Lucifer was just too evil so they tried to stop him. The group included the sons of Two Great Families."
"They went to teach him that he shouldn't act like this and that they should all live with love and learn from each other, but he was just too arrogant.. Instead of listening to the advice, he killed everyone that was talking to him. After killing, he ran away!"
