Letting his message out, the figure disappeared.

Even though the Dungeon Dwellers were keeping an eye on Lucifer after delivering their message last time, the explosion caused by Atlantians spoiled their plans. For a moment, they even thought that Lucifer was actually dead.

They were all furious in anger at the death of Lucifer since he was the key to their early escape.

They wanted to kill Atlantians for spoiling their plan. Fortunately, it was only after a few days when they sensed the same energy again and located Lucifer in Elisium.

Finding him in Elisium, they thought he was coming for them, but Lucifer was going in an opposite direction to the Dungeon as if he had no intention of coming there.

They had already lost hopes once again, and they didn't want to delay any more in case Lucifer again placed his life in danger. Even they didn't know that this Lucifer wasn't the same.

As the dark figure disappeared, Lucifer stood confused. Who was this person? Was he also someone that his future self had offended? Why was he being invited to the Dungeon where his parents had died? And what about the gift?

"Don't tell me he..." Lucifer ran towards the house he had just come out of.

Kicking the door open, he ran to the dining hall. As soon as he entered the Dining hall, he was greeted with a gruesome sight.

Thousands of body parts were spread all over the room. There was blood everywhere. Someone had used the same blood to write something on the wall.

[Come if you dare!]

The words on the wall looked like they were a challenge for him, but more than that, the words looked like they were taunting him. And this taunting had worked!

Lucifer turned his back on the bloodshed and silently left. He didn't scream in anger, but there was a fire inside his heart. This just got personal! He didn't have a purpose of his own, but now he had found it! His purpose was to find the person who did it and make them regret ever being born.

Lucifer left the house. He knew which place he needed to go, but he didn't know where it was exactly. He hadn't seen much of the world. Even finding the facility he was kept in took a long time. Fortunately, he now had a reputation that people were scared of him. He could easily ask them where to go.

....

After asking around and flying nonstop, Lucifer finally reached the Level Four Dungeon. He observed the Dungeon momentarily.

No one was guarding this Dungeon, and people could've been seen anywhere. He was all alone here.

"Father must've stood right here before entering the Dungeon. He never knew he wasn't going to return," Lucifer muttered, gazing at the ground on which he was standing.

Even though he had never been to this place before, this place was a part of his trauma. It was where everything started. It was where his story was written.

He didn't know how risky it was inside, but if there were monsters who managed to kill his parents, he didn't overestimate himself. He was prepared for everything, including death.

He didn't expect to come out as he took his first step inside the Dungeon, unaware that he wasn't the only Lucifer who was coming here.

A flight landed in the central airport of Elisium. As Uprising had disbanded, the control of Elisium was in no one's hands at the moment. No one knew who was in charge. The city was just running on its own with old rules.

There were some high-ranking people who found out about the disappearance of the Uprising from the city, but they didn't tell anyone since they didn't want things to be chaotic.

Uprising had troubled the neighboring nations too much. If the nations found out that the Uprising was gone, there was a chance they could gather the courage to attack. No official wanted this. So they kept things under wraps from not only the public but also the whole world.

As the flight landed in Elisium, Lucifer, Milena and Jian stepped out. None of them knew about the disbanding of the Uprising. Jian only had a little idea of the possibility of that being the case.

None of the airport security staff was expecting Lucifer to be the one who arrived on this flight. The staff didn't even bother to check his documents as they allowed him to pass. None of them even made any eye contact.

However, everyone had one question in their heads. Why were these three together? They had seen the live feed as well. Jian had thrashed Milena and mocked Uprising. Why were these three people walking together? None of them had the courage to ask this question.

They watched Lucifer step out of the airport. There were no cars waiting for them outside. They didn't expect any either. It was the cab drivers who stopped after seeing Lucifer.

Tens of cars stopped before the airport. None of them even stepped towards any cab though. Lucifer started rising in the air and shot towards the building that used to be the Uprising headquarters here. Milena and Jian followed after him. Since all three of them could fly, it made things easier.

Lucifer landed at the entrance of the building. There were two guards standing at the entrance, but none of the two were Variants. The two were humans, which was an odd sight since the headquarters was usually guarded by Variants.

The guards immediately lowered their heads as soon as they saw Lucifer.

"You aren't in the Uprising. What are you two doing guarding this place?" Lucifer asked.

"Ah, sir. It looks like you don't know. This is supposed to be a secret, but since it's you, we can tell. Uprising has disbanded. All the members left a few days ago. Since then, it's humans who are trying to take care of the bureaucracy while keeping this information away from the public so as to not cause panic."

"Uprising has disbanded?" Lucifer asked, slightly surprised. "Where did the members go? Did they say anything?"

The guard shook his head.

"Do you really think they'll tell anyone?" Jian asked, smiling. "They ran away in fear because they knew they couldn't face the anger of the world after you were gone. I doubt they'll ever return."

"Did you know about this?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"I had a feeling that this might be the case. If I was in their place, I might've done the same after all. It's a perfectly clever decision," Jian responded. "Anyway, it looks like the trip here isn't needed. Let's get straight to our destination."
