One True God

Chapter 37: I have no choice...

"I-I understand..." Asgo said with a shaking voice. It seems that he didn't expect that Lucifer would be like this.

Well, it was the truth that Lucifer only looked like a young demon who was out in the city for the first time.

That was also one of the reasons why Asgo even approached him.

That was why Asgo didn't expect that things would suddenly become like this.

He didn't know that his life would get threatened just because he was near Lucifer.

Hell, he didn't even know why Lucifer was pissed off! It was only natural that Asgo would be confused about things.

Of course, one must give him credit for being able to stay calm in this situation and give the answer that Lucifer wants.

And since it was the answer that he wanted, Lucifer...took off the hand that was grabbing Asgo's head.

However, before his index finger could take off, it darkened. Right, Lucifer's index finger darkened, and that darkness...moved as if it were normal!

The darkness moved and it went to Asgo's head! After that, the darkness disappeared as if nothing happened.

And when the darkness disappeared on Asgo's head, Lucifer finally took off his finger.

Well, there was no time lag or something like that as it happened really fast.

What Lucifer just did was to cast a curse on Asgo. It isn't really a curse that would kill Asgo or something like that.

It's something more like a curse that would tell Lucifer where Asgo is.

After all, it's not like Lucifer could just trust this demon immediately just because he said he understood.

Besides, there was something Lucifer had in mind for Asgo, and that was why...the curse wasn't that bad.

Of course, although he didn't know this, one wrong move by Asgo would mean his death at Lucifer's hands.

Anyway, when Lucifer took off his finger, he started to think about what he would do from now on.

Since there was a chance that he meets with that princess again or the butler, he had to be very careful and lay low.

He already spat out a few lies about Sir Lucifer giving out some curses to the people who talk about him.

If an official ambassador from the Luciferian Empire were to come to the Zacharath Kingdom, Lucifer would basically be exposed for his lies.

'This situation...is terribly bad.' Lucifer thought as his eyes sharpened once more.

The pressure that Asgo felt from him continued to rise as Lucifer knew how bad this situation was.

Even if Lucifer could just escape from this kingdom and go heal himself in some unknown place, that wouldn't really do.

What Lucifer went for the Zacharath Kingdom in the first place was knowledge.

Knowledge about the modern Hidden World and that was the most important thing for Lucifer right now.

No, it's not because he loved to read books or something like that.

It's because it is something that would help Lucifer in creating the book of how to become the One True God.

After all, that was his goal now, and that was also what he wanted to become.

That was the last piece of the puzzle missing from Lucifer, and Lucifer would surely do everything he could just to get that last piece.

That was why this situation was bad. Lucifer was basically being threatened to be hunted in a few months from now.

Of course, it would be for lying to the princess about him being a citizen of the Luciferian Empire. However, there was also the chance of someone investigating Lucifer thoroughly.

And if it were to be known that Lucifer is Sir Lucifer, it would mean hell.

The Zacharath Kingdom would try to hunt Lucifer because he lied to their princess.

But if it were proven that Lucifer is Sir Lucifer...it would not only be the Zacharath Kingdom who would try to hunt him, but also some other powerful demons!

Hell, some angels might also butt in this hunt for Lucifer!

That was how controversial it would be for Lucifer to be known again in the modern Hidden World.

Of course, Lucifer knows all that, and that was why...Lucifer decided.

"I have no choice..."

Right, Lucifer had no choice now. He had no choice, and he is forced to do it.

He is forced...to conquer the Zacharath Kingdom's underworld.

Right, Lucifer decided to conquer the Zacharath Kingdom's underworld for his safety and leisure alone.

If Lucifer were to conquer the Zacharath Kingdom's underworld, he would be able to control all rumors and sources.

He would be able to control the news, and he would also be able to prevent things from happening.

He would be able to have a stable foundation in this kingdom, and it would be in the palm of his hand.

Hell, if Lucifer were to thoroughly conquer the Zacharath Kingdom's underworld, he might even be able to control the whole kingdom's economy!

And with that much political power in his hands, the royal family of the Zacharath Kingdom would also be affected just with Lucifer's presence alone!

And all that...political power and position would make Lucifer assured that nothing would happen to him.

Nothing bad would happen, and Lucifer would be able to get his powers back without minding any external opponents.

It was then that Lucifer spoke after calculating things. Of course, to Asgo, it didn't look like Lucifer calculated things.

After all, it was only after a few seconds that Lucifer took off his hand from Asgo's head that Lucifer spoke once more.

"Right, things would be so much easier."

"Shit, I should have just decided to do this much earlier rather than attending this shit of an exam."

"It looks like even I have dulled after staying alive for all those years."

Lucifer said as he shook his head with a little bit of plicated smile on his face.

After all, Lucifer just admitted that he dulled in terms of thinking and calculating things.

Well, it was the truth as nobody could stay at the top of their game for millions of years.

That was the truth as even Lucifer's body had deteriorated.
