Chapter 280: Genesis and Apocalypse 9 (1/2)
“…good luck to me…” ‘Is he going to kill me or what? Well, it’s not like there’s a good ending waiting for me if I go along with his plan anyway…so…I guess my next mission is to destroy the Western Human Realms? Hmmm, destroying the world sounds great and all but…I really don’t want to do bad things. I don’t mind killing bad people but the problem is that I don’t want to kill the innocent. But if I don’t do it, the consequences…will probably be worse than death. After all, Lucifer is the creator of Undead magicks…’
‘Better to fight against an Overlord than to fight against a Necromancer’ that was a common saying in the Western Human Realms.
“Alright, I’ve said what needs to be said, I’ve completed my mission so it’s time for me to return as well.”

‘Return? So you aren’t going to stay in my body then…’
“My main body will keep an eye on you often…Little Fellow…you’re still too weak but the moment you accepted the Gem of Authority, you became the new Overlord of Purgatory…even though you technically do not possess the power of an Overlord…”

‘Purgatory Overlord? Me?’
Having said all that, a blackish purple mass of light appeared above the clone of Lucifer. It flashed for a brief moment before disappearing just as suddenly as it appeared. With its disappearance, the barrier created by Lucifer crumbled as well. As if it was actual glass, the purplish dome began shattering and falling to the ground. At that point, I was basically prepared to shield my head like a mouse, so as to prevent any potential injuries. Yet, nothing fell. Instead, the shards merely dissipated in the air.
‘Geez, scared me for a second there…’
Soon after the barrier disappeared completely, the aura of Lucifer’s clone vanished as well. The basis of its existence was that single feather of Lucifer. Now that it had entered my body, the clone was no longer able to sustain his existence. Besides, his mission was over and he had a report to make. From the way he disappeared so decisively, he probably was going to do just that.
This little adventure could be said to be an important turning point for me. Just using the energy given to me by that feather, I successfully evolved into a Four-stars, and even reconstructed my body at the same time. As of right now, I was a unique Devil with the original sin of Pride, Lust and Envy dwelling inside me. And yet despite all that, I didn’t feel the least bit excited at all. It wasn’t because my pee pee hadn’t reported back from its vacation yet, rather I was worried about the Western Human Realms… ‘I wonder…if I entered Abaddon directly and didn’t get the chance to awaken this statue, would this outcome have changed?’
‘Ah, looks like I’m overthinking things again. Ever since I reincarnated from the Blood Sea, I think it is safe to say that my days have basically been spent in one giant trap after another. I’m not even sure if Yi Yi is using me anymore. Even if that clone said that she was merely following his wishes, the whole timing of this sordid affair is too just coincidental…’

The whole reason for me being the last to leave the prison was because Harlow died and Majosha decided to accompany him in death. Because I was so touched by her devotion, I decided to stay behind till there were only the two of them left. It was only when I was about to enter the teleportation gate to Abaddon that One-eye suddenly stabbed me in the back, figuratively of course…
On the surface, the whole issue laid with One-eye. However, it was important to remember that I had a Demigod level Lust Demon resisting in my soul who also specialized in psychic magicks. Moreover, she was a top-class Devil King who was about to forge a divine core!
Back then, she should have been asleep but whether or not she was truly asleep, who could say? Unfortunately, there was no way I could verify or disprove this matter. In other words, it was entirely possible that Ferti’nier deliberately hid herself and then used her powers to control One-eye and force me into Purgatory.
After all, Ferti’nier was the one sent to look after me by Yi Yi…but upon thinking back on that fateful day once more, I realized that Yi Yi was in a pretty desperate situation herself. Her mana had been all but spent and there was nothing much she could do. Had it not been for that, she would have never relied on a piece of trash like me.
It was clear that she didn’t possess the power to revive me and had to rely on the Crystal of Chaos to revive me. Because Ferti’nier’s soul was in that crystal as well, she ended up getting dragged into this whole mess… Given all that, it was entirely possible that Yi Yi was merely focused on trying to save me, all that nonsense about Purgatory was merely a giant coincidence.

‘Ahh…my head hurts just from thinking about this…there’s just too many possibilities. Who should I even believe…should I believe my gut that says she was merely trying to save me or should I believe in this giant conspiracy theory? But really, I don’t think now’s the time to be thinking about this either. Since Lucifer is basically forcing me to take part in the apocalypse, I can’t say no or the consequences will be dire. But just obeying him is just… I really don’t want to hurt the innocents. I mean, if it’s some other race or just someone who really didn’t fit my sense of beauty, I will definitely not hold back at all. Even so, I won’t go so far as to wipe them out either.’
‘But he wants me to wipe out the humans…Nicole is still there for crying out loud…if this so-called Apocalypse were to suddenly erupt, the humans would definitely suffer heavy losses. At that point, Nicole would have to join the war, seeing as she was a warrior. She might even rush to the frontlines…Even ordinary folk might get implicated…after all, an apocalyptic battle like that was everyone’s business…not to mention that Lucifer’s plan is to send in hordes of Undead as well…’
‘Hmmm, there are other races in the Western Human Realms as well but unless the situation is truly dire, they will never set aside their differences..’
