One True God

Chapter 132: Vulnerable

"This is really bad," Lucifer murmured.

Well, it was the truth that his current situation is really bad as it was just something that Lucifer didn't want in the first place.

However, even though there's a possibility of history being manipulated by someone, it is virtually and basically impossible for it to have been completely changed.

And there is proof of that. After all, Lucifer is still known by the demons even though he has been away for quite some time.

But it is still the truth that one way or the other, history has been influenced by someone.

"Hmm...I thought this was a waste of time but I guess it was good."

Lucifer murmured as he shook his head, trying to get a grip.

Lucifer then said to Oumu and Nocturnal Phantom that they should stand up.

Hesitatingly, the two stood up. Nocturnal Phantom hesitatingly stood up because he was still in front of Lucifer.

Oumu hesitatingly stood up because...he still thought that Lucifer didn't like it that he beat his servant.

Of course, Oumu doubted that that is the case right now when he heard Lucifer and Nocturnal Phantom talk to each other.

However, Lucifer didn't really care about what he thought or anything of the sort, which is why he spoke without any hesitation.

"Oumu. Who is...Lucifer in the history that you know?" Lucifer said as he looked Oumu straight in the eye.

This is to make sure that what Lucifer thought of is the truth. Well, Lucifer is pretty much sure that history has been somehow influenced by someone.

There is no way that Oumu would be able to defeat Nocturnal Phantom when it comes to knowledge about the past.

Even though Oumu is the type of person to satisfy his curiosity, that is something that he will never be able to do unless the history that Oumu knew is different from the history that Nocturnal Phantom went through.

Of course, Lucifer's question is quite the...weird one for Oumu as he never expected that Lucifer would ask a question like this.

Well, this just proves to Oumu that the guy in front of him...is not really the Lucifer of the legends.

After all, if he was the Lucifer of the legends, then he should know it himself.

That was why this basically proved it for Oumu that Lucifer...is not Lucifer, as weird as it may sound.

However, Oumu still didn't do anything about it, or did he try to say anything about it.

This is because he knew the power gap that he had against Lucifer. He would just be killed if he tried to do something funny right in front of him.

That was why Oumu just answered Lucifer after thinking about the things that he should say.

"I assume that you want me to summarize it, so...here we go." Oumu said as he took a deep breath.

After exhaling, he then continued to speak.

"Lucifer of the legends is a very strong Hell God. He worked alongside the other Hell Gods to make sure that the demons would have peace."

"As contradicting it may sound, this is because of the long-lasting war that has continued on for centuries."

"Also, Lucifer is a-" Oumu tried to say something else, but he was stopped as Lucifer held out his hand with a...weird smile on his face.

No, it was not only a weird smile but it was also a threatening one.

Well, it was only natural that Lucifer would have a...threatening...no, an enraged look on his face right now after hearing what Oumu said.

"I...worked alongside the Hell Gods to make sure that peace would come?"

Lucifer murmured with the same...enraged look on his face while staring straight at Oumu.

Lucifer didn't notice it, but his killing intent was leaking out of him and his mana was starting to go berserk.

However, because Nocturnal Phantom was covering those up, just like how Grimmy did for Lucifer before, it wasn't really affecting anything as of the moment.

But...because Nocturnal Phantom was holding Lucifer back, Lucifer...looked even more hideous than he should look because of black fog, blood, and some indescribable aura surrounded Lucifer.

"That's absurd! I would never wish for peace to come! I would never work towards that! I fought Angels because it was fun to fight them! And most importantly, the other Hell Gods would never work alongside each other!"

"What kind of sick bastard would dare to influence history like this?!"

"No, what the hell are the Hell Gods doing!? To allow history to be influenced like this, they should be ashamed!"

Lucifer shouted those words out loud while staring straight at Oumu. No, Lucifer couldn't even see Oumu anymore due to his anger.

Lucifer...was truly, down to the very definition of the word...enraged right now.

He was that angry. If Lucifer wasn't being held back by Nocturnal Phantom, then him just shouting out loud would have destroyed the Warm City already.

That was how angry Lucifer was.

Of course, Nocturnal Phantom was aware of that, which is why he decided to appease Lucifer's anger.

He showed himself right in front of Lucifer, between Oumu, and spoke.

"My Lord, please calm yourself. Even though your condition is as it is...if you dare wish it, you can easily kill millions of demons."

Nocturnal Phantom said as sincerely as he could.

Because Nocturnal Phantom has been serving under Lucifer for a very, very long time now, he also knew how to handle Lucifer when he is angry.

And how to handle Lucifer when he is angry...is to be as sincere as possible and get straight to the point.

And what Nocturnal Phantom said was...straight to the point.

Lucifer truly can kill millions of demons just with his mana, but because of his condition, it would also cost him his life.

In other words, continuing to be enraged would cost Lucifer his life.

And now that his body was finally getting a little bit better, it would just suck if he were to kill himself just because of blind rage.

However...it seems that...what Nocturnal Phantom did was not enough to calm Lucifer.

"You dare stand in my way?!" Lucifer shouted out loud as his eyes started to turn red due to anger.

Well, it was only natural that Lucifer would be this enraged.

For Lucifer, knowing that he is known for working alongside the Hell Gods to achieve peace for the demonkind is just the greatest embarrassment for him.

Even though they are called Hell Gods, that doesn't necessarily mean that they get along or something like that.

There are even instances in the past where Lucifer himself has clashed against other Hell Gods.

Naturally, because of this, Lucifer hates his fellow Hell Gods.

And now, to know that history sees him and the other Hell Gods as if they were friends sickens him to his stomach.

Not only that, they were even working towards peace! That was just the most absurd thing that Lucifer ever heard in his whole life!

But...because Lucifer was so enraged right now, his body...as his condition was just bad right now, was not able to take the toll and pressure.

After Lucifer shouted out loud at Nocturnal Phantom, he immediately vomited blood and he started to cry tears of blood.

"Kuhah!" Lucifer made a noise as he tried to cover his mouth with his hand instinctively.

His eyes were wide open as he was just shocked, he...came back to his mind because of the pain.

But...even though it was not evident, Lucifer did actually go all out for a second.

The pressure on his body was so great that...it didn't just stop with a simple vomit of blood.

Lucifer could feel his body organs...shutting down and even his heart started to fail.

That is why...Lucifer's knees gave out and his knees hit the ground.

No...his knees didn't exactly hit the ground as Nocturnal Phantom...was there to catch him.

There is no way that Nocturnal Phantom would let the proud Hell God, Lucifer, fall down to his knees.

"My Lord!" Nocturnal Phantom shouted out loud as he was getting worried for his Lord.

This is exactly the reason why he tried to calm Lucifer down.

However, Nocturnal Phantom is not exactly in the right condition to worry about Lucifer.

Why? It is because it was Nocturnal Phantom who took the full brunt of Lucifer going all out in his current condition.

Even though Lucifer's power is capped right now, that is still his full strength!

There's no way that Nocturnal Phantom got away from it unscathed!

And that is the truth as Nocturnal Phantom...didn't even have a body or a face right now.

He was just...a black fog, holding Lucifer's knees right now.

At this point, Nocturnal Phantom was just a fog that could be pushed away by a strong breeze.

Naturally, his condition didn't stop Nocturnal Phantom from worrying for Lucifer as he spoke.

"My Lord! Please summon Grim Reaper! Take the life of the demon in front of you...no, take my life and restore your body!" Nocturnal Phantom shouted out loud, but Lucifer couldn't hear him.

And while they were in this state, Oumu...was looking at them, confused.

However, there is one thing that Oumu understood from this situation, and that is...

'Both of them...are in a vulnerable state...a state where I can kill them both, right here right now.'
