Inhuman Warlock Chapter 736

Chapter 736

"You mean you could've died," Caen let out as he took another chair. He sat beside Kellian. 

"That does sound like bad news. Almost all big guns are out of the city. All we have is you, who is not even half as strong as you used to be, me and a few others. Can we take them on? Or should we call others back?"

"I already thought about it, but we don't have time. Everyone is on an important mission; we can't disturb them. We need to handle this mess ourselves. And there's only one way to do it."

"What way?" Caen asked, frowning. 

"They think they can attack and win because they know that Lucifer isn't here. The only solution is that we make them know that Lucifer is indeed here, and so is Milena."

"And how will we do that?" Caen inquired. "The truth is that none of them are here. Do you want them to record a video and pretend they are here? I don't think that will work.'

"You're right. A video won't work," Kellian agreed. "That's why I was thinking about a live broadcast from this city showing everyone here."

"How do we do that?" 

"The answer is simple, and it's right before my eyes," Kellian smirked. "I want you to turn to Lucifer and go on live with your message for the citizens, declaring your conquest of the Warlock Council."

"Ah, that... I have no problem, but I think we should ask the big guy first. It's his face that will be on TV after all. It should happen with his permission."

"Don't worry; I'm sure he'll give us permission. I'll contact him soon. You just prepare yourself. We will start the broadcast tomorrow afternoon at twelve."

"Do I have to pretend to be Milena too?" 

Kellian nodded his head in response to the question. "It's not going to be easy, but it will be a show of force to make them know that they shouldn't attack the capital hastily. It's important and much better than fighting."

"Sigh, fine. I am ready. When you have the speech ready, give it time. I'll memorize it. In the meantime, I'll practice being him."

.....

Lucifer left Ca.s.sius behind before flying away. 

He went straight to the beach where he had met with Grandpa Chi for the first time. It was also the beach where he was told that he was already brought into the island.

He placed the two bodies on the ground, observing the setting sun in the distance. 

On the way here, he had also picked up the briefcase of his which had the items given to him by Kane. It was also the thing in which he kept his old gla.s.ses. Since his new gla.s.ses were broken, he needed the old one. 

He wore the old gla.s.ses that hid his emotionless eyes before walking back to the two bodies. 

Without thinking twice, he started absorbing the two bodies. 

He had enough Ability Cores to sacrifice for one evolution, but he hadn't done that yet since he hadn't decided which ability to evolve, but now he was prepared. 

"I don't care how risky the ability of Time can be after evolution; I need it..." he said, sitting on the sand, facing the sun. 

Gentle sea breeze brushed against his skin, giving some comfort. 

"He has S-Rank Spatial Ability. I'll take SS Rank Time. Enough games and running around. Next time I find you, you won't run," he muttered. 

Mirali and Alexi still hadn't found Xaen, so he had some time to waste as well. Time was also needed for the media to reach the Academy of Gifted Variants and cover the news about its destruction to push Xaen even more. 

If he wanted to be seen as a hero to maintain peace, then Lucifer was prepared to be the villain to bring chaos and force Xaen out. 

There was a part of him that was a bit uncomfortable at what he was doing, especially at killing the teachers of the Academy that taught him, but his concern was overtaken by his anger which was further boosted by something innate inside him. 

He had already stopped thinking about what he did and focused more on the future. 

He took a deep breath, trying to gather whatever bit of calm he could as he sat in a meditative position while casting a barrier around him to protect himself from sudden attacks.

He couldn't be disturbed if he started the process since everything was going to go to waste. 

His eyes remained closed, and he was ready to do the first sacrifice when he stopped. He could feel the vibration on his gla.s.ses. Another call was coming. 

Initially, he thought to ignore the call but ultimately decided to stop the sacrifice and check what it was about. 

He picked the call.

"What do you need?"

"Thank G.o.d I could get to you. I really needed to consult with you," Kellian said, sighing a breath of relief as he was finally through. 

"Get to the point. I don't have time to waste. I'm about to start something important."

"Ah, right. It was about the problems that popped up in your plan."

"What problem?"

"The guests from Atlantis know that you are our leader and your whereabouts."

"How did they find out?"

"I'm not sure, but it's something related to their technology. They managed to recover everything that we had thoroughly deleted from our systems."

"So they saw me with you. I see," Lucifer lazily stated. "And how did they know my current whereabouts?"

"It's because they tracked you when I was trying to get to you. You were right about them. They do have some really great technology. They are currently en route to the island. They'll be there soon."

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm done with taking the easy route. Let them come," Lucifer stated. "I'll meet them properly this time."

"Anything else?"

"One more thing. Through them, Jian and the other Warlock Council heads know that you aren't here. So I believe they'll soon attack."

"And as you know, I'm weak now, and most of our forces aren't here in the city, including Milena, Salazar, Julien, and everyone else."

"So you want me to call them back to the city?" Lucifer asked, frowning. 

"No, I don't want to disturb their mission, but I want to do something that will give us more time to prepare."

He started telling Lucifer his entire plan, including the fact that he was about to use Caen. 

"So, what do you say? Should we do it? Do you want your face to come before everyone in Triton?"
