Chapter 120: Explanation

"That's enough," Lucifer said...as the dark fog coming out of his body has finally stopped.

Lucifer was aware of what was happening around him ever since he woke up, but he didn't really see the need to interfere.

After all, why should he interfere with such petty matters?

However, since it was getting a little too heated, Lucifer's hand was forced, which is why he spoke.

And now, since he spoke all of a sudden, the attention of all the other creatures in this space has turned towards him.

And for one, Nocturnal Phantom...spoke right away when he heard his Lord's voice, "My Lord! I am very sorry about my display!"

Nocturnal Phantom said as he bowed his head even deeper as he faced Lucifer.

Grimmy did the same thing, and the other three demons were just shocked to hear Lucifer's voice that they didn't have any reaction at all.

Well, there is a reaction coming from Oumu, the one demon who is a stranger to Lucifer.

And that is...happiness and joy.

Why? It was because the time to know and find out about the mysterious man called Lucis has finally come, and it naturally made Oumu happy.

This was only natural as this was what he came here for, and Lucifer was able to notice that happiness and joy from his face alone.

However, Lucifer didn't pay any attention to him as he just focused on standing up.

He was able to stand up, but...he did it carefully. This is because he knew that he must be careful so that he wouldn't mess his body up.

After all, his body was super sensitive right now, and it might just get messed up if Lucifer was too rough with his body.

And now that he was standing up, Lucifer...murmured as he looked down on his hands, "Hmmm...It's not as useful as I thought it would be."

"But..." Lucifer then moved all of his fingers as if he were testing them, but that was not all that Lucifer did.

He also moved his body slowly but surely as if he were trying to find out more about his own body.

It was weird seeing him like this from the other demon's perspectives since he didn't know what he was doing, but Lucifer didn't care about any of them.

He just continued to assess his own body after making his own body heal itself.

And as soon as Lucifer was done, he had a thin smile on his face as he continued to speak, "...it still did its wonders, huh."

Right...Lucifer could tell just from his initial observation that his body was still able to improve and heal itself to a whole other level.

Of course, since Lucifer was already strong, to begin with, his strength...has leaped from the sky to the universe itself just because his body healed itself and this has impacted his strength as well.

After all, the only reason why Lucifer has gotten so weak is because of his body.

Naturally, this doesn't mean that Lucifer is at his peak again or anything of the sort.

Right now, his strength is part of the universe now. However, if the Hell Gods and the Heaven Gods' strength were to be described in the same way, then....each of them owns several universes.

That's just how strong they are, and this just shows how weak Lucifer was even though his body healed by itself.

After all, his strength is part of the universe. He doesn't even own a universe, so he still had a long way to go.

However, the fact that he was still able to regain some of his powers back is progress and is something that Lucifer was happy about, ironically enough.

That was why he had this thin smile on his face as he looked at himself.

What's more, since it has been proven that his body can get fixed up with just this, it means that Lucifer can use this frequently to try and heal his body up.

Of course, this is just a temporary solution, but still. A temporary solution is still better than no solution.

That was why Lucifer was happy about this result, and it seems that his joy could be felt by his servants as Nocturnal Phantom spoke.

"Congratulations, My Lord! It wouldn't be long now until you return to the peak and spread darkness all over the world once more!"

Nocturnal Phantom said with great joy and glee. After all, this is definitely a reason for him to be happy.

However, it was not only Nocturnal Phantom who congratulated Lucifer as Grimmy...also congratulated Lucifer in his own way, but...it was noticed by none.

After all, Grimmy didn't speak or do anything at all. He just congratulated Lucifer in his own way, and that was it.

"This is but just a temporary solution. There is a reason why I brought you out again, Nocturnal, and that is because I intend for you to go and find a permanent solution to my problem."

Lucifer said those words as he looked at Nocturnal Phantom. After saying those words, he then looked up at the three demons who were just standing around, bewildered.

They didn't know what to do in this situation so they just stood around.

Well, it was just because they didn't want to interrupt Lucifer because they knew that Lucifer...somehow just got stronger.

And since he was already stronger than them, one could just imagine how they were bewildered by this.

Anyway, while Lucifer was looking at the three demons, Lucifer then continued to speak, "However, I will bestow that mission onto you for later. For now, I must deal with this current situation."

Lucifer said as he raised both of his hands towards his servants, his right hand pointed at Nocturnal Phantom and his left hand pointed at Grimmy.

"Return to me, my servants." Lucifer said.

And as soon as he said those words, Grimmy and Nocturnal Phantom's body...started to be sucked into Lucifer's hands, returning to Lucifer's body.

It was happening ever so slowly that the three demons were able to witness it from start to finish.

And just like that, Nocturnal Phantom and Grimm, the demon incarnate, disappeared.

And as soon as they disappeared, Oumu suddenly shouted out loud in great amazement, "Wow! What the hell was that?!"

"Did they just get sucked into your body!? No, since you said to return, then they must have originated from you!"

Oumu said with a huge smile on his face because of what he just saw.

Why? It was because it was just so interesting. This is the first time that Oumu ever saw a scene like this.

No, to be exact, it was not only him. It was also Rouge and Raya Pazier's first time to see something like this, and that was why even they couldn't help but get amazed.

However, Oumu couldn't help himself but ask about this since it was just so interesting for him.

That was why he just straight up asked Lucifer about it, but before even Oumu would be able to say anything else, Rouge...moved in quickly.

He put his foot right in front of Oumu's leg and made him fall on the floor while he put his right hand over Oumu's mouth so that he would be able to shut him up.

And just like that, Oumu...was apprehended by Rouge.

"My apologies, Lucis. I didn't know that he would be that disrespectful to you," Rouge said as he put a knee behind Oumu's back while still covering Oumu's mouth shut.

This is because he didn't want Lucifer to be angry about this whole situation.

Seeing as to how Raya Pazier and Nocturnal Phantom were arguing just earlier, Lucifer must be in a bad mood.

And if Oumu were to trigger his wrath...even Rouge wouldn't know what would happen.

That was why he stopped Oumu from speaking any longer as his way of speaking was just too disrespectful.

And it seems that Oumu was able to realize this when he heard Rouge's words as he didn't even try to struggle to get out of Rouge's hold.

Naturally, Lucifer was watching over this farce as he was looking at Oumu when he spoke.

Lucifer then answered Rouge as he spoke again, "Who is this? Is this the one who wanted to see the official document signed by the Patriarch?"

Of course, Lucifer had a rough idea about who Oumu was since he was the one who told Rouge about this.

And when Rouge heard those words, he just nodded his head and spoke, "That's right."

"I brought him here, but then he found out that I betrayed the Warmester Denoble House just by a few clues that he could sniff out."

"And then...he requested to see you so that...he can measure you."

"So that...he can answer the question if he should betray the Warmester Denoble House for you."

"After all, he knows. He realizes that since he knows the secret of me betraying the Warmester Denoble House, then...it would be either him joining us or death."

"That is why he came here, knowing full well what is going on."

Rouge explained everything smoothly.
