Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 821: Last Mission

Disappointed, Lucifer opened his eyes. He lazily laid on the ground, feeling like for the first time, he was helpless against something. As he dropped to the ground, he forgot to check the floor. A small pin was lying on the ground near him.

As soon as he laid on the ground, the pin stabbed on his shoulder.

He sat again without making much noise. This tiny bit of pain was nothing for him. He pulled out the pin and tossed it away.

He rubbed his shoulder gently. The pain stopped immediately as his wound healed. "Healing is so convenient. I don't know where I would be without it. One of my favorite abilities. I can understand why Father liked it so much."

" If only I could evolve this ability as well, it would've been so amazing. Unfortunately, I don't even know where the healing core is, let alone being able to evolve it."

He again laid on the ground, this time after checking carefully. He gazed at the roof blankly, trying to think how amazing it would've been if he could evolve having and what it would've been like.

"Wait a minute... Healing! That's it! I checked all the cores but not Healing! It might be the Healing core which is making the Time core unstable since both are superior ability cores! And I can't see the healing core doesn't mean it's not there!"

"If it's actually the healing core which is making the Time core unstable, it must be near the Time core! But what can I even do with this knowledge? I can't move a core from their original position. I don't know how to do that with cores like these."

"If I could move them, I could've moved the time core as far as possible to bring it out of the influence of other cores. Even Star Alliance can't help me with this since Variants and our cores are unknown to them."

"They can't even see our cores, let alone understand them. I need someone who is knowledgeable about cores. I need someone like... Xaen! But Xaen was in star alliance headquarters in the past."

" I can't go back to the headquarters after coming to earth, or I won't be allowed to come back for a long time. I need someone else who could be as knowledgeable about the Cores as Xaen was. Maybe the mysterious person who wrote the evolution theory of cores? I have his name."

"If he's alive, I might be able to find him? If not, I could still find other people who have some knowledge about it! In any case, I need to find someone. I need to change the place of Time Core at any cost if I want to have a stable life. I don't want to keep going back and forth in time all my life."

"That's still fine, but if there comes a time when I'm not able to go back? Or worse, if I'm stuck in a time loop again, that would be a fate worse than death! I can't waste time. This ability is like a ticking time bomb. I need to solve this problem."

....

As Lucifer tried to think of someone who could help him with this problem, a large-scale manhunt had started for him. The news about his betrayal had reached everywhere. All his friends and enemies knew what he had supposedly done.

As the news spread to more people, even Maya came to know of it. She stepped forward with the information about Lucifer answering her call from Joana's device around the same time.

Her testimony removed the doubts from the minds of even the ones who used to support Lucifer. They knew Maya wasn't going to lie about something like this. What they couldn't understand was why Lucifer would hurt Joana?

Lucifer had started his journey in the Star Alliance with Joana. Throughout his journey, Joana supported him. Not only that, they were said to be a great team who even went on quite a lot of missions together. It was confusing why Lucifer would do this.

The only way for them to get an answer was through catching Lucifer since only Lucifer knew why he did this. Lucifer's supporters in the Star Alliance also joined the search for him, but it was hard to find him.

The central command device which was given to him was soon discovered in an abandoned condition along with his clothes. It was evident that he knew what he was doing, and he had gone into hiding, abandoning his identity.

They knew that Lucifer could be anywhere at this time, yet all the cities were sealed. Movement from city to city was blocked, and interplanetary travel was also stopped. No ships were given authority to leave this world.

Lucifer was sealed, having no clue how bad things actually were. Fortunately, he didn't go along with his plan of breaking through the barrier, or things could've been much worse for him.

He was immersed in a different problem entirely. Lucifer knew there was nothing he could do at this point about his time core unless he could go back to earth and meet the ones who knew.

Realizing he couldn't change anything here, he stood up and decided to do what he could. He was sure he was going to go back soon in any case. It might've been taking long, but he had faith that he was going to be tossed back in time again to his original timeline.

Instead of running and hiding, he decided to use the time wisely. Since he was already here, he needed to find out as much as he could about the future and his actions. He was sure there was a reason behind his actions. He just needed to find what it was so he could change his future if needed.

He was inside the storage room. There were many boxes all around him that were filled to the brim with documents. He decided to go through those documents first to find more about this world.

He picked one of the boxes and sat on the ground. One after another, he started going through the documents.

"These seem to be mission files regarding completed missions by Joana."

"Establishing a peace treaty between the Trish Empire and the Lyon Empire? Fighting the Dark Pirates? All these missions...." He kept the box back and picked up the next box after being unable to find anything in the first.

He opened the second box and checked the first file inside.

As he went through the file, his frown deepened. "This seems to be from the time when I had just joined Star Alliance. This was his mission? Really? How could he do it?"
