Chapter 980: I'll just...

"Your parents are long gone..." The young man answered after a brief pause. "They died in the assault of the United Forces that attacked our Clan just like everyone else."


"As for who we are... I might not have much time to tell you. Now that we've met, a time paradox is starting to take place. I don't have enough time to tell you everything. So I'll just..."


The young man placed his finger in the middle of Lucifer's forehead. As soon as his forehead touched Lucifer, Lucifer's eyes closed, and his body went weak. He fell on the ground as if he had fallen asleep.


The young man observed Lucifer as he retracted his hand, looking very weak now. It was as if he had lost all his strength now.


A barrier was covering the world in which he was staying, not only keeping it hidden from being discovered by normal means but also protecting it. However, cracks started developing in the barrier.


Before long, the entire barrier was covered in cracks.


The young man looked up, realizing that the barrier wasn't going to last long. He could only sigh in response. "I don't know if you're ready or not, but the time has come. Time for me to leave and time for you to..."


"I am sorry for giving you this pain and torment..." He told Lucifer as he stood up.


He could only stretch his arms as his face looked as if he was somewhat lost.


"You really grew up fast. It feels like just yesterday when I brought you here..." The man's body started turning illusory with time, as if his body was disappearing.


His life force kept getting weaker and weaker. At the same time, Lucifer's life force kept getting stronger and stronger as a mysterious energy flooded inside him.


[Shatter]


The barrier surrounding the world shattered, revealing the powerful energy signature of the world. For centuries, the Star Alliance believed that the world of Baltics was destroyed, but as soon as the barrier broke, all the alarms in the Star Alliance went off at once!


The Star Alliance was in a frenzy. First, that strange energy appeared in this world. Just as they sent people to check it, the world of the Baltics made an appearance.


A meeting of Generals was called. Even General Nimel and General Ostrin attended that meeting despite not being present at the Star Alliance headquarters.


"Your Majesty, the appearance of the World of Baltics... I feel like it had something to do with the person we were trying to find. There's a good chance that we may find him here. We need to send enough forces to be able to take him down if he's there."


"Have you forgotten? It might be a trap. Don't get too hyper. If we send all forces there, what if it was their plan to weaken the defenses of the Star Alliance? What if after we fall for this trap and send our forces, they attack the headquarters?"


Amongst the Generals, it wasn't easy to get a consensus since the situation itself was so complicated. They needed to send forces to check that place, but how much to send was the question.


"If we send too little, and he's actually here, our forces will be wiped, and we will lose the opportunity, but if we send too much, we bear the risk of falling into a trap," the Queen muttered.


There was no perfect choice in a situation like that. No matter what she chose, there was always a chance of being wrong.


After a discussion, the Queen could finally come to one decision.


"We should take the risk while also ensuring the safety of this place!" She declared. "Divide our forces into three equal parts. One will stay here to protect this world! One will go to investigate this anomaly, and the third will keep an eye on our other bases!"


"General Nimel and General Ostrin, you're to be a part of the team that protects the headquarters. Please return as soon as you can!"


"Yes, Your Majesty!"


With the meeting being over, three teams were decided on, each having an equal number of Captain and General Rank members and ships.


Since the Headquarters had other means of defense as well, the Queen didn't keep more people here than she needed, despite the looming threat.

Inside the Realm of Nimel Clan, everyone still believed that Lucifer was immersed in his meditation to get stronger.


The two Generals were given orders to return, but they also wanted to take Lucifer back with them. Unfortunately, they couldn't disturb him. They could only decide to leave the youngsters behind, being confident that no harm could come to them in this place.


Still, General Nimel did leave an instruction for his son to protect Lucifer if needed.


The Two Generals soon left, taking their ships. Only Captain Ranked ships of Lucifer were left behind.


****


Amongst the teams that were sent to check up on the appearance of this mysterious world, the one leading that team was General Rasin, whose grandson had been killed by Lucifer in the Trials.


The man already wanted to kill Lucifer, but thanks to the Queen's arrangement, it seemed impossible for now. He still wanted to find an opportunity to do that, but now he was immersed in something more important. He decided to put his personal grudge aside for now and focus on the task at hand.


****


Lucifer was still lying on the ground. Even though he looked like he was sleeping, his body was shivering as if he was feeling extremely cold.


The young man who was standing before him had already disappeared as soon as the barrier broke.


Lucifer didn't know what was happening to him. As soon as he was touched by the young man, something strange happened. It was as if something inside him was unsealed... A strength that he had never felt before could be felt now. But right around that time, strange memories also started rushing through his head.
