Chapter 770
Lucifer reached the portal at the last second, extending his hands, trying to get in contact with the black hole, no matter how small it was.
Unfortunately, before his hand could touch the black hole, the black hole closed completely. Lucifer was just a single moment late, missing the portal.
Seeing the black hole disappear, Lucifer felt like roaring in madness. He was trapped in this unknown space, and he didn't even know how far he was from the home.
He didn't even know which direction his home was. He could feel his heartbeat uneven. Even he was a little stressed.
He wanted to leave earth to find his origins, but not like this. He still hadn't finished his mission on earth. He still didn't have all the stones that he needed to open the portal to the mysterious man.
He also hadn't conquered the earth to change it into what he desired. More importantly, he had disappeared at a really wrong time. He had just challenged the entire world.
Most of the world was going to be against him. If he were back on earth, he wouldn't have cared since he believed he could've dealt with them, but in his absence, the Uprising was too weak.
They only had Milena, who was strong, but he wasn't even sure if she could handle the situation alone.
Lucifer scratched the back of his head in frustration.
"I need to find a way back. I can't go back through the black hole. I can't recreate all the steps either."
"The only way back would be using time. But I can't even control it. I can't even use it to slow down time, let alone reverse time. But it was able to send me back in time before."
" I should still be able to do it now. If only it could send me back in time like it used to send me to the beach, I would've been happy."
"When I didn't want time to reset, it kept sending me back to the beach, and now that I want it to happen, it doesn't do that!"
"Hmm?"
He was immersed in his own thoughts when he noticed Spatial Cracks appearing in the distance.
The cracks attracted his attention. He gazed at the Spatial Cracks, which joined together, forming a door made purely of spatial cracks.
The massive spatial door reminded him of something. He had seen a similar door appear not too long ago.
When he was sent in an unknown time just recently, thousands of such spatial doors had appeared on top of the islands when he was trying to interrogate the Gargoyles.
"Star Alliance?" he muttered, taking a guess.
His guess was proven to be right as he saw a small portion of a massive ship coming out of the spatial door.
The giant star symbol was clearly visible on the ship.
Within seconds, a massive ship came out of the spatial door. The spatial door closed behind the ship.
"This is the place where those odd energy signatures came from?" A young red haired man asked the woman on his right, looking at the surrounding of the ship through the screen.
"Yes Captain. This is the place. According to the systems, a strange energy was sensed here along with some space and time disturbance. We're still getting those signatures, but the intensity of these signatures are very small compared to before."
The man nodded. "I think there must be a sudden burst of energy. I don't know where it came from though. This part of the space isn't used by anyone. So it's really odd."
"Scan the energy signatures to locate their source. While you're at it, scan the surroundings for any signatures of life or any other space waste. The sudden energy burst might be because some ship exploded here. That will give us a more clear picture."
"Yes Captain."
The woman started scanning the surroundings.
"Sir, we scanned the energy signature, but we can't find a source. It doesn't seem like something that's in use by Star Alliance or even known by us. It looks more like a mixture of random energies that became too chaotic. But there is something that might be of interest to you."
"What?"
The woman pointed towards the screen. "When we scanned for any life signatures, we found one."
The red haired man looked at the screen as well.
The holographic screen showed a silver haired man who was observing the ship.
Lucifer looked slightly concerned. He had seen the Star Alliance when he went to the future momentarily. They were too strong from what he could gather, at least for the current him. He didn't know what he needed to do.
Lucifer didn't know if he should approach them or not. The last he remembered of the Star Alliance was that they were trying to kill him.
"I need to approach them. Only they can tell me which direction is the way back for me. Only they can help me. But I can't forget that they are my enemies. They are strong. If they have some negative ideas about me, I might not even be able to escape."
"Wait, they wanted to kill me because I killed someone of theirs? That hasn't happened yet. I'm sure they have no reason to kill me like they did before. I should be able to ask for help!"
Gaining some positivity, he flew towards the Star Alliance ship.
"Sir, this person is flying towards us. What should we do?"
"Scan him. Find his species and his energy levels. Tell me if he is a threat to us. In the meantime, teleport him to our prison."
"Yes Sir."
The woman pressed a button. A beam shot out of the ship, landing on Lucifer. His body disappeared.
Lucifer found himself inside a small room that had no exit. There was only one glass wall before him.
An image was being broadcast on the glass wall.
"Greetings, young man. This is Joana. I'm the captain of this ship. We have decided to give you a lift, but until we know more about you, you're supposed to stay in that room."
"Think of yourself like our guest, but if you tried to damage the room, we would be forced to do something about it. So be sensible."
The transparent glass turned black.
....
"I scanned him." The woman told Joana.
"And? What did you find about him? He seems like a human. Is he one of us?'
"He isn't a human. And he isn't one of us."
"Then? What is he?"
"His species is... I think you should see for yourself.." The woman pointed towards the screen again.
