Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 904: The Angel

"Maya, since our friend is here with the Black Card, get the ship started. We need to be on our way, so he doesn't get here. In my absence, you handle everything. I'll be with Lucifer for some time. You have all the coordinates, right?"

"I do," Maya affirmed. "I will handle it. You can rest assured."

"Good." Joana tapped the shoulder of Lucifer before letting out, "Let's go. I know what questions you have. You'll get all the answers."

Joana issued a subtle command, gazing at the cameras. A beautiful formation appeared under the feet of Lucifer and Joana. A bright light came out from the formation that surrounded both.

The two men were disappointed, leaving Joana behind, who shook her head lightly. "Lucifer Azarel... Just why are you so special? I don't even know what it's about you, but you seem to be getting everything I wanted, from the consideration of the Captain to the Black Card of Promotion."

"I wonder if you were really born with a golden spoon." She was jealous of Lucifer already. This man... He was just something else. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it. All she could do was go with the flow and wait for her time.

She also departed from that place and went to the main chamber to prepare for the takeoff.

Before long, the giant ship started rising in the air. It slowly turned around and left the world...

Joana escorted Lucifer to a different section of the plane, which was only open for Joana. Not a single person other than him was allowed to come here as these were his personal quarters.

As he arrived here, he issued new commands, which turned off the cameras.

"Where are we going?" Lucifer was intrigued. He hadn't seen this part of the ship. It was completely empty. No guard was present here, which was pretty rare for this ship.

Moreoy, Joana also had his back to Lucifer, which slightly surprised him.

There was a little doubt in his head at the start that maybe he wasn't completely free since it all appeared too easy, but that doubt was now decreasing. He had no restrictions on his abilities anymore. If he wanted, he could attack and kill Joana right now, especially now that cameras were off.

However, there was also another part of him that felt like maybe it was bait? Was it a test for him? Joana had turned off cameras and brought him where they were all alone. Was this a test to see if he was going to attack or not?

"Don't worry. We are just going to my room. What I'm about to tell you, I can't let that be recorded in the system, or I'll be in trouble. My room is the safest place on this entire ship." Joana stopped at the end of the corridor before two metallic doors.

As if sensing his hand, the metallic doors started opening up.

Joana stepped inside. "Come on in."

Lucifer also stepped inside the dark room. The Metallic doors behind him closed. As the door closed, the lights in the room turned on.

The room of Joana, it appeared to be really fancy. There were couches, chairs, a bed, and everything that one might need. This place was like a mini house. The only difference was that it wasn't mini from any angle.

"Take a seat." Joana sat on a chair before a metallic table.

He tapped on the table twice. An opening appeared on the table, from which two bottles came out with some glasses.

Lucifer sat before Joana and picked up the bottle on his side. He wasn't given anything to drink for a really long time and was certainly thirsty.

He poured the wine into his glass before gulping it down at once. "Tell me, why was I arrested. I want complete details this time, including the meaning of the black color of the box."

"I know. It wasn't hard to guess what you'll be asking. That's why I brought you here." Joana carefully opened his bottle as well. "However, to tell you everything, I would need to start from the beginning."

"I have time. Tell me everything."

Joana also took a sip before he explained. "Angels... That's what they called themselves. The strongest species in the universe. There weren't many Angels, only twenty or so according to the history books."

"Angels?" Lucifer repeated.

"Yeah. If you consider this universe as a massive Empire and worlds as the Kingdoms in the universe, then the Angels were the Emperors of this Empire. The strongest species and the ruler of the entire universe."

"No one could offend them, or else they faced complete extinction. Throughout the years, the Angels had destroyed many worlds for simple mistakes. Even the strongest of worlds were destroyed as if they never existed, and the Angels didn't even need to send their entire force to do it."

"One... All it took was one Angel to destroy a world. As for the Angels that used to do it, he was known as the Angel of Death."

"Surreal, isn't it?" Joana asked, smiling. "I mean, we can also destroy worlds but only weak worlds that can't defend themselves. But Angel of Death destroyed the strongest of Worlds which had people even stronger than our Generals. Those people... They were a nightmare."

"What happened to them?" Lucifer grimly inquired. Did this mean these people thought he was an angel from his energy signature!

'Wait! Doesn't that mean the man who destroyed the world of Dungeon Dwellers was also the so-called Angel? And he has similar features to me. Could I be one as well? But he said I'm not from his family and I'm not his clone. Then... Why does everything have to be so complicated?'

The more Lucifer thought about it, the more frustrated.

"After millions of years of rules of Angels and destruction of multiple worlds, the Angels had managed to thoroughly offend everyone. Unfortunately, no one could do anything against them, so Angels didn't care. Unfortunately, they were wrong. They should've cared."

"Six Origin Families came together to bring down the Angels. They started meeting with envoys of different species, creating a coalition. It was all done in complete secrecy. Miraculously, the six families managed to bring all the species of this world together with one promise... The promise of a world without Angels... A promise of a world with complete freedom."

"Oh right, you might not know what Origin Families mean. I should've explained that first. They are the six strongest Families of the universe after the Angels. Or rather, I should say they were. Most of them are extinct now. The Royal Baltic Family was one of them that has recently been wiped out."
