Chapter 870: The Difference

Chapter 870: The Difference

Before the King could do anything, the Royal Advisor stepped forward. He needed to save his reputation. Lucifer turned out to be alive even after he had said for sure that he killed him.

Now that he was here, the only way the Royal Advisor could salvage his reputation was by stopping Lucifer.

"You pest, I don't know how you survived, but you won't for long!"

He raised his hand towards Lucifer. The same sphere appeared all around Lucifer and the throne in which he was trapped by the Royal Advisor before the explosion.

It was the same sphere that Lucifer couldn't break out of last time as it kept adjusting and strengthening itself based on the data about Lucifer's abilities. It even stopped the Teleportation of Lucifer at that time.

Instead of getting worried and trying to get out of the sphere as he tried last time, Lucifer just sat on the throne comfortably as if not even caring about the sphere that had trapped him.

"You seem to be pretty arrogant this time. You won't try to escape now?" The Royal Advisor asked.

Ignoring the Royal Advisor, Lucifer shifted his attention to the King. "Are your dogs allowed to bark when two kings are speaking? It would be better if you keep them on a leash."

"You!" The Royal Advisor had never felt as insulted as he was feeling now that he was addressed as a dog.

Unfortunately, he wasn't even allowed to express his anger as the King gestured for him to stay silent.

The middle-aged King stepped closer to Lucifer. "May I know what is giving you so much confidence that you came here despite knowing we'll kill you?"

"Maybe I want to die?" Lucifer lazily stated. Unfortunately, even if that was true, you aren't capable, so my reasons behind coming here are different."

The King's face twitched in anger, but he didn't attack. He was more curious to know about this guy's mentality behind coming here and still being so arrogant. Was he crazy?

"I want you to do two things for me, and I'll leave."

"What two things?" Amused, the King asked. He had no intentions of fulfilling his demands, but he was still curious as to what Lucifer was going to ask.

" Firstly, I want you to lead me to the portal that can take me back to Triton. And secondly, I want the names of everyone who was responsible for the plot to kill Eve," Lucifer declared. "Oh, I mean other than you yourself and that old man who thinks this barrier can stop me. I want to know who else was responsible or knew about it?"

"And what if I don't tell you?" the King asked, frowning.

"Then I'll just have to kill you," Lucifer replied.

"I would certainly love to see you try," The King scoffed, noticing Lucifer in a Barrier. He knew there was no way for Lucifer to get out of the barrier. Even though the barrier of the Royal adviser wasn't as strong as his, it was still second best to none. There was no way Lucifer could get out of this barrier.

"Sure." Lucifer flashed a bright grin as he stretched his arms. He even let out a yawn before he stood up.

He stepped forward, stepping away from the throne.

"What? How is this possible?" The King exclaimed, stunned. Lucifer had passed through the barrier as if he was a ghost.

Without wasting even a single second, Lucifer kept stepping toward the King. With each of his steps, one body of a minister dropped.

Thud~

Thud~

Sounds of bodies dropping kept echoing with his footsteps as the humans dropped to the ground.

"How is this possible? How are they dying?" The King exclaimed in shock. Generally, they shouldn't have died. They all had the technologically advanced gloves, which should've teleported them away from any life-threatening attack. Why weren't they safe then? Just what was this person?

The King couldn't wait anymore. He couldn't waste time in trying to understand what Lucifer was. His men were dying, and he didn't want to take the risk. He decided to kill Lucifer.

"I wanted to see what you were capable of and understand your decision behind coming here, but I've had enough. You aren't worthy of living!" The man raised his gloves towards Lucifer.

"It's time you die!" He declared as he snapped his fingers.

Following the snap, Lucifer held his chest as he stopped in his tracks as if his breathing had stopped. It was as if he was going through suffocation.

A smirk formed on the lips of the man. "I told you, you aren't worthy to stand before us."

"Hahaha!" Lucifer suddenly burst into laughter as he stopped acting. "That was fun."

He stood straight as he stretched his arms again, letting out another yawn as if he was feeling a bit sleepy since it was too easy.

"You know what the big difference between you and me is?" Lucifer inquired as he stopped just a few inches before the King.

The King kept trying to use his AI to teleport him away or help him in any way, but that thing had gone silent entirely. It was as if something had gone wrong, and without the Ai, he was nothing but an ordinary human who wasn't any special.

Now he finally understood why his ministers kept dying. Their AI wasn't working either to sense danger. But how was it possible? How did AI stop? There was no way for Lucifer to affect AI since it was a decentralized tech, and only the King could control it.

In fear, the King stumbled as he kept moving back from Lucifer. As he stumbled, his body dropped to the ground.

"How did you do it?!" he asked as he still kept dragging his body back.

Lucifer kept stepping closer, finding it amusing. This was the guy who thought he was the strongest in the world? Without external help, he wasn't even as strong as the weakest Variant.

"Tell me, what do you think is the difference between Variants and you? You'll get your answer as to how I did it. In the meantime, let me meet my old friend. I'll be right back at you."

Instead of attacking and Killing the King, Lucifer turned around, observing the Royal Advisor. He was the only man who was still alive. The man even felt his legs tremble as he realized that Ai had stopped working and his life was on the line.

"Y-young man, don't do it! Don't kill me. I can be of help to you. I can be very useful."
