Chapter 39: Lucifer
Lucifer suddenly created a sound barrier isolating Tristan from the others so only he could hear what Lucifer said next.
Lucifer finally spoke. "Do you who the God of Angels is? The God of Angels was an angel who pioneered the art of cultivating faith. He led the way and created the dominant cultivation technique for all angels, becoming the strongest angel, whose very existence could suppress others.
The God of Angels didn't have offspring. So we thought, except, he instead created the two races of Dark Angels and Demons as experiments and discarded them. Dark Angels became a race of slaves to Angels and suffered an eternity of bondage, while demons managed to escape early on and became a powerful rival of the Angels thanks to the Demon God.
Dark Angels were left pitiful while I Lucifer, was the am ordinary among the Angels, destined to follow the footsteps of my parents. Fortunately or unfortunately, I fell in love with a Dark Angel who I frequented at the brothel. The Dark Angels were frequently used as pleasure tools, I couldn't see that happening so I purchased her and made her my servant in name, instead of my wife.
The Angels Legion found out and killed my wife, because I was blaspheming the God of Angels. With that...I abandoned the cultivation of faith and created my own path. The cultivation of Karma. As long as the Angels continue to enslave and oppress the Dark Angels, my power will continue to grow infinitely stronger, until I became as strong as the God of Angels.
I stayed low until I could I knew I had become stronger than the God of Angels, and then I led the revolution, almost destroying the Angels forever and also killing the God himself. The God was not my match either, but surprisingly, he anticipated my arrival and requested help from a Celestial by the name of Tea Master." Lucifer sighed.
"Tea Master?" Tristan asked with a stunned expression.
"You've met him? Be wary of him. He was the original gatekeeper of this well. He helped the God of Angels on the condition that someone would replace him, and that someone would be me.
I was defeated and the revolution failed and I realized that I was going to be sacrificed to guard the gate to the Mirror dimension. At that moment, I imbued my karma into the last physical attachment I had, a small stone carving made by her. I teleported the object to the treasury of an ordinary demon family.
As long as I continued to suffer here, for millennia of years, that seed of Karma would grow stronger. By now, it should have grown strong enough.
If you bring me the object, I will be able to use it to reincarnate into the world, escape from the mirror dimension as well as seal it. But in exchange, I would lose most of my power."
"What do I get by bringing you the Karma?" Tristan asked.
"This." Lucifer said from the well, throwing an object into Tristan's hand. Immediately his system sounded out.
[Matrioshka's Stolen Energy Fragment 1/9]
"I can sense it on you." Lucifer said. "I will give you all the remaining eight in my possession. I will also vow to not compete or harm you or your kin."
Tristan sighed, he didn't feel like this was a good deal, but the moment he got the [Matrioshka's Stolen Energy Fragment] the egg began behaving trying to communicate with him, begging for the fragments.
"Alright, give me the remaining fragments, I will give you the karma." Tristan said.
Lucifer was stunned. "You... already have the karma?"
Tristan nodded. Suddenly a small stone carving appeared within his hand. [Lucifer's Karma].
Lucifer suddenly became crazily excited and thanked his luck. He quickly threw the remaining fragments of Matrioshka's Stolen Energy towards Tristan and the well sucked in the Karma.
Suddenly Tristan walked back and the girls saw him back off and immediately ducked as well. The inky black well suddenly began glowing like gold and a pure energy began emitting out with ferocity.
Soon a silhouette was formed between the well and Tristan, as the well began being sealed by the golden energy. The silhouette finally turned into a real, physical identity. It was an angel, with wings. Half of the body was white and the other half was black. The angel blinked, while the well was completely sealed off. For a second one could hear the shrieks of madness from within the mirror world, but they soon subsided.
"After countless years..." Lucifer sighed. "I am finally unshackled. I will keep my promise and stay away from humanity." He bowed in thanks.
Then he looked around the tunnel and at the well. He suddenly raised his fingers to his lips and punched. Immediately the well world split from the tunnel world and was sealed away into the chaotic dimension between spaces.
Lucifer then looked around and said to Tristan. "So much earth milk, won't you take it away?"
Tristan shook his head. "I am unable to use it in the crystallized form."
"Oh." Lucifer said and suddenly there was a world on his index finger. a vortex formed on top of his index finger rapidly sucking away all the crystallized earth milk into the vortex, liquefying it.
The entire amount of earth milk lining the tunnel condensed into a bottle of liquefied earth milk, which Lucifer then handed over to Tristan.
"I must now leave." Lucifer said. "Thank you for your help."
...
Next day Tristan, Joanna, Emily and Tina were sitting in the cafe discussing about the tunnel world.
"Tristan, what did you discuss with that angel?" Joanna asked.
"I discussed a trade." Tristan said.
"What did you trade?" Tina asked eagerly.
"Its better not to know. Also don't tell anyone about this incident or the well or anything else. Not even to your family." Tristan said.
