Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 256 - 256: Lucifer's Conquest

"What did you want?" Jiang asked even though he had some idea. "Was it revenge?"

"That’s right," Lucifer replied.

He explained, "All I wanted was revenge so I can finally calm my chaotic heart. And I was somewhat successful as I finished my revenge. Life seemed to be getting normal as I was over revenge. Then I only wanted to find out the truth about my parents."

"But you know what happened?" He asked.

"What?" Jiang inquired.

"Varant happened. I finished one revenge and just wanted some calm, but he came and again killed me. Even though I did nothing to him. Why? Because of my eyes!" Lucifer replied. "That taught me a lesson."

"What lesson?’ Jiang asked, curious.

"No matter how many revenges I take, there will always be someone who won’t be happy with me. Someone who will try to kill me. Someone who will want to take everything I gain. This world can’t let me live the way I want," Lucifer explained.

"So even if I kill Varant, there will come someone else to kill me. After that, it’ll be someone else and then someone else. So that raised a question. How can I stop it? How can I make sure that no one can hurt me again?" he posed another question to Jiang.

"How?" Jiang asked, turning more serious.

"By taking over everything. By letting everyone know their place! By conquering everything and by killing everyone that stands in my path!" Lucifer replied as he smiled while turning back.

"When I try to do that, all snakes will come out of their holes so I can crush their heads for all of eternity until there is none left," he continued.

"You mean... You want to conquer the world?" Jiang asked as his mouth opened wide. He wasn’t talking about taking over the nation but the whole world?

"No. Instead, I want to bring the whole world to my feet. I don’t care how long it takes. I might lack many things, but time is the one thing I don’t lack," Lucifer declared. "So APF isn’t my goal anymore. They’re just a step to get to my goal at this point."

"This..." Jiang didn’t know what to say. This whole thing was so grand. Lucifer didn’t want to go against APF, but he wanted to go against the entire world.

There were potentially millions of Variants and thousands of Warlocks, many of who would be as strong as Varant if not stronger.

"Are you sure that’s what you want?" Jiang asked, frowning.

"I’ve never been more sure of anything. I know this goal will require me to kill a lot of people. But that doesn’t matter. Whoever opposes me will find him on the path to hell. It doesn’t matter if he’s a friend or enemy." Lucifer declared. His voice seemed determined.

Hearing the grand schemes of Lucifer, Jiang was feeling like his heart was racing.

The future...he didn’t know what the future held, but it was certainly going to be filled with blood and destruction. And he had already chosen a side.

All he could do was place all his bets on Lucifer. In any case, supporting an undying warlock was better than taking the side of his enemies.

"Oh right, I also want you to do one more thing," Lucifer said suddenly.

"S-sure," Jiang said, stuttering as he still was slightly in a daze.

"Focus on the road, or we’ll get in an accident. I don’t care about me since nothing will happen to me, but I don’t want to have to find another person to make a billionaire after you die," Lucifer said, reminding Jiang to focus on the road again. He was taking his eyes off the road regularly, after all.

"Ah, right."

...

The two cars kept going from city to city as they left. On the other hand, two helicopters of different groups were advancing towards that specific city where Lucifer had just captured Ayn.

The first group to get there was the APF though. Their helicopter also flew above the neighborhood as Varant, Riali, Gensi, and Arne jumped out, landing on the ground.

"Gensi, you check the house of Veracity and all the other houses. It seems too silent," Varant commanded the silver-haired man who was covering the lower half of his face.

The man disappeared into thin air as he turned to a shadow and started the search.

As for the other three, they went towards the rubble where they believed Ayn was hiding.

As they reached there, Varant noticed the remains of the broken Ice Dome that still hadn’t melted.

Frowning, he looked around, but he didn’t find any clues.

"She isn’t here. There aren’t any clues that suggest she fought here. This is strange? Where could she have gone without fighting?" Varant said, frowning.

"It seems like she was killed right here. That’s why there, we can’t see any ice anywhere else," Riali responded. "Maybe the enemy found her, broke the dome, and killed her, all before she could react?"

"That’s possible, but still..."

While Varant was still doubting, Arne stepped closer as he picked up a small block of ice that had a little blood.

"We also have blood here. It seems like Riali is telling the truth," he said.

"So they killed her. Why would they take the bodies then?" Varant wondered. "Remove all this rubble. Count the bodies if any are left under."

This also happened to be the moment when Gensi returned.

"Veracity isn’t there either. Moreover, we asked the citizens. They said some bearded man told them that a demolition was taking place here, so they didn’t step out. They didn’t see anything," he informed others.

"Moreover, I did find blood on some roofs, but no bodies are there," he further explained.

"Strange. Blood is everywhere, but no bodies are in sight. What exactly happened here?" Varant asked as he failed to understand who could have done this. And why would they take the bodies?

He didn’t realize that Lucifer was back, unlike the Variant Uprising did. The only reason they couldn’t find bodies was because Lucifer took care of them.

He first decayed the bodies, and while leaving, he used a gust of wind to make the ashes fly away, mixing in the air.

As Arne started moving the rubble, they soon found more bodies buried under. All of these bodies belonged to their men that were killed while being cut in half.

"The rest of the bodies are still here, it seems. Only Ayn is missing," Riali observed.

"Could it be because they didn’t want to waste time moving all this rubble to take other bodies? They must have known we were coming," Arne commented.
