Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 869: I disagree

"Today, I called you here for an important discussion. I hope you all can advise me on the matters." The King commented, proudly.

"Of course, we will. What matters?" The ministers exclaimed.

"As you all know, we've been in Atlantis for decades, keeping our interactions with the outside world at all minimum because we were worried. We evolved our technology to become stronger. I believe we are already very strong now, much stronger than any Variant can be. Do you agree with that statement?" The King inquired.

The Royal Advisor nodded. "That's right, we agree. We have become much stronger because of our technology. I don't believe any Variant is as strong."

"When I went outside, I saw it first hand. That man Lucifer was the strongest Variant according to them, but he was really weak when I was before him. If their best was so weak before my second best generation of tech, I can only imagine how minuscule he would look before you," he further added. "If I'm not wrong, you are the strongest person in the world right now!"

Hearing his praise, the King couldn't help but smile. He really loved being called the strongest and being praised.

"Exactly. Atlantis is stronger than any Variant Organization. We don't have to hide anymore. We don't have to live in Atlantis anymore. We don't have to close ourselves to the world! That's why I've decided that we need to go out. Instead of worrying about the Variants, it's time we make them bow before us!" The King declared.

"They sent Lucifer here as a show of force. They might send more people in the future. Those people are really arrogant so it's time we showed them that they are worthy of being nothing but our pets."

"You mean wage war?" The Ministers exclaimed, stunned.

"Exactly. What I meant was that we should really wage war. If it is war that makes them realize our strength then war is what they shall get. We shall defeat them, and we shall make them bow before us. The whole world needs to know what Atlantis is. We have spent decades hiding in the shadows, but now I think we have had enough. You have had enough time to prepare. Now it is time to show your preparation." The king declared.

" So what do you all say? Should we do it or should we not?" he asked.

"Ah, your majesty. We have not fought a war since the beginning. We have always been peaceful. Are you sure that it is the right decision at this point?" One of the ministers asked.

" Are you doubting our decision?" the King asked arrogantly.

"N-not at all. That's not what I meant, your majesty. What I meant was that simply fighting a war is a really big decision. We don't need the outside world. That way, below the sea, is enough for us. Why should we waste resources in fighting the Variants? Because even though we are strong, I'm sure many of our men might die as well."

" So all I meant was that it is a really big decision and you should consider all the factors before deciding. But if you want to wage war, I will always support you. I will agree with your decision. I think you should be the one to decide, not us."

" Anyone have any suggestions or anything to say?" The King asked as his eyes roamed over the court.

No one else raised their hands.

" All right, I will make it simpler for you. I will agree that we should go to war; here is their hands. And if you think that we should not go to war, Don't raise your hands. Let me see what you all think. And after that, I will decide what we should do," The King let out.

Slowly, the ministers started raising their hands. One after another, more and more hands began raising. Even the ones who didn't want war raised their hands because they realized that their king had already made up his mind. They could see it in his eyes and really wanted this war. Many of the ministers even felt that maybe this was a test to see if any amongst them was a coward and scared of war.

Within seconds, all hands were raised as no one wanted to keep their hands down.

"I see all hands raised. It seems you all agree that we should go to war. So start preparing. It's time Atlantis finally comes out!" The King declared as he stood up, dismissing the court.

"Wrong!" A voice echoed as soon as the King stood up. "Not all hands are raided and not everyone agrees that you will go to a war. Because you need to be alive to go to a War, don't you?"

"Who dares?" The King roared, glaring at all his Ministers, but even they seemed confused as to who had spoken. Slowly, all the Ministers started looking toward the King.

"Your Majesty, behind you!" One of the ministers yelled.

The King tried looking back, but before he could, his glove started shining, and his body disappeared. His body appeared again around ten feet away from where he was previously standing.

" Ah, so it still works. I must say that gloves of yours are amazing. And you were right; you did make some really amazing technology. It can sense danger and send you to a safe place away from danger. And it can do much more. Very fascinating after all," the voice once again said.

The King glared towards the throne. If looks could kill, whoever was speaking would've died a thousand times.

The King noticed a man arrogantly sitting on the throne where he used to sit. It was a young man who looked to be a 19 or 20-year-old boy. You also recognize that man as well which made him glare at the Royal Advisor.

" Didn't you say he had died?" The King asked sarcastically. " Looks quite alive to me."

Even the Royal advisor was shocked. How could Lucifer be alive? Even after that massive explosion. His body had disappeared from there, he was sure. How can he return from death?

" I-i saw it with my own eyes, Your Majesty! Not even his ashes were left. I don't know how he's alive!" The Royal Minister tried explaining b.

He turned back to Lucifer. "How are you still alive, you bastard!"

"Did you think I could die before killing you all? That's so cute." Lucifer smirked.

"Big words!" The King roared. "So what if you're alive. You came to death yourself. You think you'll survive now?"
