Chapter 612 - 612: Jealous
"No one is born inherently good or inherently bad. Life situations make them good or bad."
" So your definition of good is faulty in the first place," Lucifer declared.
"The world won't work according to you. The ones who want to kill you will still kill you, even if you are the nicest person on earth. By being good, you leave your destiny in the hands of others. But me... I take my destiny in my own hands."
"You can be naive all the way you want and forgive the ones who tried to kill you, but not me. I won't only kill the ones who try to kill me, but I'll kill them in the most brutal way possible!"
The more Lucifer talked, the more Eve felt like he was telling the truth. But still, she didn't change her mind about how she had to deal with situations related to her. She still didn't want to have revenge on Atlantis.
"I'm not saying you need to walk the path of no bloodshed. All I'm saying is that it's an option that you can try sometimes. Who knows, you might like it," Eve replied.
"Whatever," Lucifer lazily replied. "You'll be staying with me from now on."
"Until you can verify the truth in my statement by using your Variant friend who is back in Elisium?" Eve asked, smirking. She already knew why Lucifer wanted her with him.
She couldn't provide battle support. She was just the knowledge basket for Lucifer, who he couldn't trust entirely. So he probably wanted to see if she was telling the truth in a more conclusive manner.
"Doesn't matter what I want. All that matters is that you'll be staying with me," Lucifer calmly replied.
"Whatever you say, boss. Not like I had another place to go," Eve laughed, stepping closer to Lucifer. "It feels so good to talk to another human after all this while."
"By the way, are we only going to walk, or you'll use your signature trick as well?" She further asked, talking about the flying skill of Lucifer.
Lucifer kept his silence, but he did start rising in the air. Eve's body also started floating. The two of them flew straight towards the small town.
...
After a short trip, Lucifer and Eve landed inside the town again. Lucifer met with Salazar and Dallas and introduced Eve.
He didn't tell them her origins. He only said that she was going to be staying with them. It was only Salazar who knew her origin and where she was from. But most importantly, he was stunned to see her walking.
She didn't look like a dead person who was walking because of the parasite. She was actually alive.
As time passed, more and more Variants started gathering in the small town.
The town, which barely had any people living in the past, suddenly had many guests. There were around thirty Uprising Members and over fifty Nobles that were already here by now.
For some reason, Kellian and Milena were delayed. They still weren't here yet. On the contrary, Cassius and Alicia were already there.
As Alicia landed in the town, she saw Lucifer talking with Eve alone in the distance. She walked straight to them to tell Lucifer about her arrival and to interfere between the two of them. Even she didn't know the reason she felt the need to do it.
"Alicia. Welcome back," Lucifer smiled at the sight of Alicia. "Well done on finishing the mission successfully."
"Of course we were going to," Alicia replied. "By the way, who is this lady here?"
"She?" Lucifer asked. "She is Eve. Think of her as a new member of Uprising."
"Anyway, you girls talk. I'll go and meet Cassius. Need to adjust the Limiters as well."
Lucifer left swiftly, leaving two ladies behind.
"A new member, huh. You probably don't know me, but I'm one of the oldest members," Alicia proudly stated.
"Hahaha, I know. Honestly, you don't need to feel jealous."
"What? Jealous? What do you mean?" Alicia asked, stunned.
In the distance, Lucifer met with Cassius and congratulated him as well. He took the box that Cassius had brought with him and left.
Even though he left Eve behind, he didn't leave her out of sight. It was Salazar's responsibility to keep an eye on her.
Lucifer entered the small house where he was staying and opened the box filled with Limiter. He already had the experience of messing with one of them. He knew what to do this time.
The first thing he did was disable the location of the Limiters and instead connected a different system that could only send their location to him. Next, he modified the Limiter to only react to his voice.
He didn't want someone using his own Limiter to trap him. And he didn't trust others. So he added the measure. His voice was like the master key of the Limiters.
Next, he added another system in the Limiter so that they would simply blow up if someone tried to mess with them like he was messing with them. He didn't want someone to reverse engineer them against him.
And lastly, he made the Limiter shock even more powerful. Since he was dealing with powerful Warlocks and not just the kids at the academy, he couldn't use the same intensity of current on them.
In fact, he wanted to add his own lightning in the Limiters. He even tried to do that, but the Limiters blew up. They couldn't handle his lightning. He needed more research if he wanted to do that.
He spent the rest of the day modifying each of the Limiters one by one.
Knock~
Just as Lucifer finished modifying most of the Limiters, he heard a knock behind him.
"Just a minute," he responded before focusing on work. It was only after he finished the last Limiter that he stood up.
He walked to the door after closing the box of limiters. "Yeah? Ah, it's you. Welcome."
Kellian was standing before him. Milena was standing behind him.
Jiani was also standing with Milena, trying to push her to take the lead. She wanted Milena to go ahead with the plan of making Lucifer fall for her so he could remove the Limiter.
Milena clenched her fist. She was so embarrassed at the thought of what she had to do. But it was for her freedom. And Jiani said that it was going to work.
She took a deep breath before she stepped ahead of Kellian and took Lucifer into her embrace.
She hugged Lucifer so tightly that he could feel her breasts as well. He didn't understand why she would do that. Did the lady go crazy?
"It's so good to see you safe.. I thought something might have happened to you!" Milena said.
