Chapter 743

"I don't know. I haven't seen your future, but I'm sure it'll be something good. We both suffered in this life. We both deserve our happy ending. I don't care if you're a friend or what, but I think you don't deserve to die."

"Do you understand?"

"I..."

Lucifer stopped mid-sentence as he focused out the window.

"Why did you stop mid-sentence?"

Lucifer could see some cop cars blocking the roads. He also noticed some men on the roof of nearby buildings. The black clothed men had sniper rifles that were aiming at him.

Other than the humans, he hadn't noticed any Variants. It seemed like the news about his presence had spread in the city, and the cops were here to keep an eye in case he decided to attack someone.

"Nothing. Just saw something insignificant. Anyways, what were you saying?"

"About your future. What else? Forget it; I'll talk to you personally about that. Let's keep things light for the moment. How's the food there?"

"Worth eating. Maybe it's because I'm hungry, but I like it."

Their conversation continued as Lucifer ignored the cops.

Before he could even finish all that was on his plate, the waiters prepared more food in case he demanded. They didn't want to make him wait to infuriate him further.

They kept serving him as he kept finishing.

....

In the continent of Triton, the preparation of the broadcast was ongoing.

Since no one wanted any mistakes during the special broadcast, special teams were made to take care of different factors.

The Nobles who could fly were given cameras to suit from different angles. The Variants who could manipulate winds were given the task to help Caen fly to make it look like Lucifer was flying.

Similarly, all other Variants were given such duties.

Caen was sitting in his room. He was completely dressed, just like Lucifer dresses usually. His looks were also the same as Lucifer's, including his long hair and eyes.

He had a script in his hand that he was memorizing, again and again, to not make a blunder.

This was literally a declaration of war on the entire world, and he didn't want to screw it up and make Lucifer look weak before the entire world.

Kellian stepped inside his room.

Behind him, Jiani and Arthur also entered.

"You two are back?" Caen asked, standing up.

"Yeah, we just returned, finishing our task. We heard you're going to give a big speech? Are you ready?"

"Ready? It's the first time I'm nervous about something. I have never threatened the entire world at once while pretending to be someone else. It'll be the first time."

"I can't understand what you're going to say since I haven't seen the speech, but I can understand how hard it must be. Getting Lucifer's mannerism down isn't easy," Arthur replied.

" I don't know what it's about him, but there's something about him that's hard to replicate," he further stated.

"I know. I can only try my best," Caen replied before he turned to Kellian. "Is everything ready outside?"

"Everything is prepared. We will start in five minutes. Drink water or something if you need," Kellian said, patting the shoulders of Caen.

"Just know that Lucifer sounded like he was really serious about fighting the entire world if there was a need. Make sure to get that emotion down in your speech."

Caen nodded, letting out a mouthful of breath. "I know. He'll be watching it as well. I won't disappoint him."

"Good. I'll get one final check with the technical staff in the meantime. At exactly twelve, we'll begin." Kellian left the room.

Arthur also wished Caen luck before he left with Jiani.

The man that they had kidnapped was already locked in the Warlock Council room, where he was going to be kept locked until Lucifer returned.

.....

Lucifer was sitting in the restaurant. He had finished his breakfast, but he still wasn't leaving since he wanted to see the broadcast that was going to be shown here as well. He wanted to see how well Caen would do in this.

Currently, it was a news channel on TV. Ironically, the news channel was showing the footage of the restaurant where Lucifer was sitting. He was watching himself from the views of the media.

The experts on the channel were arguing about the motives of Lucifer behind staying in the restaurant for so long.

After a couple of minutes, the channel turned black. Soon, a blank screen started flashing on the screen, which showed the symbol of Uprising.

There was a counter under the logo that started from five minutes, going down.

"Milena, it's about to start."

"The broadcast? I can see the timer too."

...

They weren't the only ones seeing the timer. Almost every channel in every nation was changed to this timer. It didn't matter if it was a small nation or a big one; everyone was going through the same phenomenon.

Caen was standing on top of the Warlock Council Headquarters, practicing his lines one last time.

All the cameras were already on his face.

Kellian stood behind him on one side. Arthur stood on his other side.

"One minute to go!"

...

"Ten seconds."

"Nine..."

"Eight..."

"Seven...*

"Six..."

"Five..."

"Four..."

"Three..."

"Two..."

As the countdown reached near the end, Caen straightened his back. His face was covered in arrogance and pride as he patted his clothes.

"One..."

The timer on everyone's TVs stopped at zero, and the live broadcast began.

Everyone watched Lucifer, Kellian, and Arthur on their screens.

"People of Earth, this is a message for you all. Listen to each word carefully!"

"I am Lucifer Azarel. Some of you might know me, but there are a lot who won't at this time. So I'll give my introduction once."

"I'm the person who is going to take over this entire world soon, and no one should stand in my path if they hold their life dear. You can treat it as a threat or as advice."

Hearing Caen on their screens, most people didn't take him seriously. They thought he was just an idiot who hacked their tv and was blabbering whatever he could, but the people of Zeston who saw the takeover knew he wasn't lying. They took him completely seriously.

"I have already conquered the Continent of Triton and the Continent of Darkness by defeating the Warlock Council and the Divine Empire," he further added.

It was this statement of his that finally made people take Caen seriously.

Caen stepped forward and jumped down the building.

The Wind Warlocks came into effect and made him fly in the wind.. The Nobles followed after him with the cameras, occasionally showing all the Destruction that was left in the city.
