Inhuman Warlock

The Strange Energy of the Stones could be felt by him. The energy was even more powerful than he ever felt before. This was the destructive energy of billions of deaths which was affecting even the space and time in the surroundings.

All four Stones rose high in the sky. The energy was powerful but was still lacking.

Lucifer pulled out the fifth stone, which also rose high in the sky, linking with the other stones, making a pentagon. The destructive energy shot up immediately.

He next brought out the sixth stone and tossed it high in the sky as well. The sixth stone also linked with the stone formation. A small portal started opening up in the sky, but the portal looked very unstable. The speed at which it was expanding was also very slow. At this rate, Lucifer was sure that it was going to take years before the portal could open completely.

Fortunately, he still had something to help him up. Lucifer brought out the Sword that he had snatched from the King of Beasts. He grabbed the last stone that was embedded in the Sword and pulled it out.

This way, he made the sword useless for the most part, but he didn't care. He only wanted to open the portal for now.

Lucifer tossed the last stone up as well. The last stone also joined up with the portal formation.

Once all the formation stones were in line, the portal formation was complete, and the speed of the portal opening increased by multiple folds.

Lucifer remained standing on the Star, looking up at the portal. Finally, he was at this point. Finally he was physically going to meet the person that he had been after all this time.

Even though Lucifer traveled very far from Earth, expecting the Star Alliance to be unable to find him, he really underestimated the destructive energy of the portal.

Even though no Star Alliance ship was in the vicinity, this destructive energy was sensed by the Star Alliance.

There were three Captain Rank ships, each patrolling a different Sector of the universe, that was given the task to check out the strange phenomenon and report back. All three Captain Rank ships moved at once.

At the same time, the Star Alliance also decided to send more backup, including a General to check things out. It was the time where the Star Alliance was on high alert since the Baltics were wiped out, and there was a possibility of their return.

"Is that so? Keep us updated."

Back in the Nimel Clan's Domain, the two Generals who were accompanying Lucifer also received this information from the Star Alliance. As Generals, they had the right to receive such information.

The portal finally reached the size of the past when the stones were separated by his father.

"Just a little more..."

Lucifer waited patiently. Even though he wanted to be done with it as soon as possible, there was nothing he could do. Before the portal completely opened, rushing inside was stupid.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the portal to be completely opened. The space and time dimension inside the portal was completely broken. It was as if the portal had opened a doorway to a different dimension.

As the door stabilized, the formation was complete. Lucifer started rising high in the sky and entered the portal. He wasn't sure if the portal was going to close after he entered, but the changes were low.

The same barren land that Lucifer saw in his dream was before him as soon as he came out on the other side of the postal. The sky was a darker shade of red, covered in strange clouds. As far as the eyes could see, only barren land could be seen.

"This is the World of Baltics?" Lucifer had heard from the Baltics that their world was destroyed by someone, and that person was staying in this world. That's also why they wanted to open this portal to kill him.

"An entire world brought to this. This level of destructive power," Lucifer muttered as he observed his surroundings. He didn't know what this world was like before this destructive, but currently, there was no life in it. Even the sky seemed dead.

"You've certainly surpassed my expectations."

While Lucifer was observing the surroundings, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around, noticing a young man behind him. The man looked like he was in his late twenties now. He had long red hair that came down to his waist.

The man's looks were quite similar to his own for the most part. What truly surprised Lucifer was that this man was able to get close to him without him realizing. If the man hadn't spoken, Lucifer could've never known he was behind him.

Sneaking up to him should've been impossible with the abilities he had already used to keep him safe. But this guy did so easily? Moreover, this wasn't a dream. This was reality.

"Tell me who you are?" Lucifer asked. The man behind him didn't look like he had any killing intent.

"Who am I?" The man behind Lucifer asked. Even though his face didn't have much expression, his eyes showed some intrigue. "I thought you wanted to know your identity?"

"To know myself, I need to know you. I've thought a lot about it all this time, and I've already realized it. You aren't my family member, but you are more similar to me than any family member could be. It's as if you're... Me."

Lucifer had thought a lot about this person's identity after seeing him in the dreams last time. This person was just too similar to him.

Before killing Licia, he had asked her some questions. He focused most on the battle that destroyed their world. From what he found out, the person who destroyed her was able to use multiple abilities.Moreover, most of those abilities were quite similar to what he was able to use, just more powerful.

"Then how are you related to me?" Lucifer asked. Was the man really not him? Then who was he? This statement raised many It was possible for these abilities to run down their Bloodline, but to look so similar to him, this wasn't as simple as being a family member. It was as if he was looking at his older self in the mirror.

"You're wrong," the man behind Lucifer smiled. "I'm not you."

"Then how are you related to me?" Lucifer asked. Was the man really not him? Then who was he? This statement raised many questions.

The man didn't answer directly. He started rising in the sky and flew away. Lucifer also followed the man. The man maintained his speed as if allowing Lucifer to follow him.

It was only after the men reached the edge of the cliff that they stopped.

"This cliff..." Lucifer recognized the cliff. This was the same place where the two had talked in the dream.

"You don't want to answer?" Lucifer asked, sitting at the edge of the cliff.

The man sat as well, going silent for a moment. "I've waited so long, all for this moment. It looks like I'll finally be free..."

"Free?" Lucifer frowned. What did this guy mean by saying that he'll be free?

"I'm not you. That much is true," the man answered. "On the contrary, I'm what you could've been."

"You're what I could've been?" Lucifer asked, taken aback. What did this guy mean?

"I suppose you already heard about our past from the Star Alliance?" The man asked, changing the topic.

Lucifer nodded. "I heard that your clan ruled over the entire universe. Eventually, there was a war in which all clans joined up to fight you all, and that only one person was able to escape."

"You escaped and killed three Major Clans before disappearing for all this time," he added. "Is that true?"

"More or less. Everything was peaceful. I don't believe our clan was ever unjust to anyone. However, jealousy leads people down some really unique paths. The Clans worked together to destroy us so they could become the rulers instead. We were strong, but before the combined force of this world, we weren't strong enough."

"I watched my family members die in that battle. No one was left alive, and no one was allowed to escape. It was only thanks to my father that I was able to escape and survive."

Even though the man had already gotten over the past, his voice still had some melancholy as he thought about the past. "Ever since then, I've wanted nothing more than the deaths of the people who hurt our clan."

"Only you escaped... Then what am I? Don't tell me I'm a clone?" Lucifer frowned.

"Clone? You're not. You're as real a person as me if not more... And soon, you'll be the only one..."

"What do you mean? Can't you tell me in simpler terms? Who are we?" Lucifer asked. That was the question that had been plaguing his mind all this time. "Who were my real parents?"
