Chapter 1267 - Friendship

Chapter 1267 - Friendship

-----

The System Master rested inside of his Divine Realm while being cross-legged, as if meditating.

Various energies began to flow into his body constantly, as he began to refine them across his body and soul.

His power began to skyrocket greatly as he did this, realizing that he was beginning to reach a bit more of power.

He was simply refining the natural System Attribute Essence rushing across his Divine Realm and absorbing it.

He had already been refining more System Attribute Particles around Genesis, but his area of preference was near the Abyss of Genesis, not near Kireina's Realm of Vida, and he didn't wanted to refine the attribute particles in here because she was doing it by herself.

This technique would had taken him a long time if he had done it before joining Kireina.

As of now, he had just refined a Path Jewel, one of Kireina's cheats which was now available for his usage…

And using this powerful Path Jewel, he learned a powerful technique into an Ability that can be activated like a Skill, instantly and automatically… This was how he was able to refine the power of this essence so easily and fast.

And like this, he began to gain large quantities of Attribute Particles, strengthening his Element, even his other Law Comprehension, which had all reached 100%, suddenly began to gain some percentages above that!

"The powers Kireina had acquired are nothing but fantastic… To think that she would engineer all of this using the copy of the System she made… She had completely outpowered me in terms of System utility… I also have to use my power to grow stronger… The System is my strongest Element after all…" thought the System Master.

At his side, there was a beautiful androgynous man… or woman? Lucifer.

"Ooh, it is working pretty well! Those Path Jewels are pretty fun, it is a nice toy." Said Lucifer.

"T-They're more than just a toy! These things are incredible… I guess this is how every single one of Kireina's allies are growing so strong too… They're using these Path Jewels to grow this strong!" said Lucifer.

"Huh, I guess… If you can upgrade skills and even fuse them with other things and even materials to make special abilities with ridiculous effects… Then yeah these things are quite overpowered…" said Lucifer.

"Aren't you interested in them?" asked the System Master.

"Ah, not really." Said Lucifer while shrugging.

"Then why are you even here bothering me so much?" sighed the System Master.

"Eh? I thought we were friends! You were acting all lovey dovey yesterday with me! Telling me "Ah, my good friend Lucifer!" and all of that… Now I am not your friend or something?" sighed Lucifer, crossing his arms and complaining as if he were already the System Master's wife or something.

"I said that but… It doesn't mean you have to stick with me all the time now! I am busy, get off for some time at least!" sighed the System Master.

"Huh? But I am enjoying my stay here…" said Lucifer while pouting adorably.

His adorable demeanor sometimes made the System Master blush a bit… He didn't knew why he even blushed…

"Ugh, fine, do whatever you want…" sighed Lucifer.

"Oooh~? Really? Whatever I want, you say~?" asked Lucifer.

"Yeah…" sighed the System Master.

"Eh?!" asked the System Master in surprise.

Suddenly, Lucifer teleported behind the System Master and hugged him from behind, while resting his head over his back.

"Hmm~ You're warm." Said Lucifer.

"W-What are you doing now?!" asked the System Master.

"I am doing whatever I want, hehe…" giggled Lucifer adorably, his bright aquamarine eyes were rather beautiful.

"For being an entity of your caliber you're really just messing around with little beings such as me, huh? Do you really got so much time to waste?" asked the System Master.

"Yep, I have… I am confined in Hell, so I always have to find ways to have fun…" sighed Lucifer.

"Huh… It must be tough I guess." Said the System Master.

"Oh~? Is that empathy what I just sniffed out of you?" asked Lucifer.

"Sniffed?! What are you even talking about now?" sighed the System Master.

"Heheh… Go on…" said Lucifer.

"You… Do you still hate The One? Lucifer… You… Do you still feel hatred for Creation?" asked the System Master.

Lucifer suddenly looked down sorrowfully.

His eyes seemed to grow devoid of his adorable and radiant life, the endless happiness he always exudes which always cheers up the System Master suddenly dissipated.

The System Master realized this, as he felt guilty to touch something so profound.

"S-Sorry, I shouldn't had say that… Don't mind me." He said.

"No… It's fine… you're my beloved friend, so I know I can trust you." Said Lucifer with a gentle smile.

The System Master's heart began to beat faster as he saw such a smile…

"I… I don't want to hate creation anymore, it has been a while since my destructive days of malice… I suppose I've "grown out of it" in a way…" sighed Lucifer.

"But… then why are you doing this with the Outer Gods?" asked System Master.

"It's a deal I made with them long ago, I cannot really break it now…" said Lucifer.

"Ah…" sighed the System Master.

"And you know that the thing I desire the most… freedom… can be attained through such means." Said Lucifer.

"But Lucifer… The Universe will…" said the System Master.

"Ah, don't worry… I am sure the Primordial Children will find a way…" said Lucifer.

"You got a lot of faith in them… And in Kireina… But… why don't you simply stop?" asked the System Master.

"I just… I can't… It goes against my principles… this contract was done back then, and I must fulfill it." said Lucifer.

"Sigh… Are you okay with this?" asked the System Master.

"I… I don't know…" sighed Lucifer, looking sorrowfully at the System Master's eyes.

"Lucifer…" sighed the System Master.
