After a long time, Lucifer finally spoke.

"Why?" he simply asked.

Strangely enough, his voice sounded completely different now. It was as if two people were speaking at the same time. His voice was also more powerful now.

"WHY?!" he yelled as his figure disappeared. He appeared before Quan, grabbed him by the neck before he flew straight up.

He didn't care that he was hitting the roofs. He kept breaking them as he flew up like a rocket.

Soon, Lucifer was out of the building, but he didn't stop. He continued flying up and only stopped when he was thousands of feet above the ground, seemingly standing right under the flashing clouds.

"I ASKED WHY?!" he roared in anger.

"I think you have really lost your mind. But do you really think you can scare me? This is my fake body, not a real one. You can hurt or destroy it all you want. I won't be affected," Quan said, not looking scared.

"If you want an answer, you must listen to me! Follow all my commands, and I'll give you the answers! As for the first command, it's pretty simple," he continued as he grinned.

"Kill all Uprising Members that are in the city, and I'll give you the answers you want. You have a few hours only. If they're not dead by then, then you can forget about your answers."

"In that case, you can just think that they were pigs that were slaughtered for no reason. The choice is yours!" he commanded Lucifer.

....

Inside a distant building, the real Quan was also grinning, happy that he got the perfect piece for his puzzle.

"Maxwell, didn't you ask who we can use in this situation? The answer is simple. We'll use Lucifer himself. He'll be our slave, killing our enemies."

"And when he's done, we can manipulate him even more and make him do our tasks for years if he wants his answers," he laughed, looking pleased.

"See? There was no need to worry, was there?" He walked back to the seat and sat comfortably.

"We can just sit and watch things play out," he let out lazily.

...

The APF Helicopters were just about to land near the Hunter Union headquarters, but before they could, a few lightning bolts fell on the building, bringing them down to the ground.

A few Hunters managed to escape on time before the buildings could collapse, only to see a stranger scene outside.

Lightning was falling everywhere, uncontrollably. No one knew what was happening, especially the Hunter Union members that had stepped left the headquarters.

They looked towards the sky, noticing more than ten helicopters flying in the sky.

Yaliza and others looked at the terrifying sky ahead, noticing the black lightning everywhere.

"What is he doing? This wasn't part of the plan. Did something go wrong? I thought everything was going according to the plan?" Yaliza muttered, confused.

" Hunted Union headquarters have collapsed suddenly. I think a lot of them should already be dead, but there are quite a few that escaped. Should we attack?" One Uprising Member asked Yaliza as he noticed a lot of Hunter Union members on the ground.

"We can't attack them as we planned to before. They should be alert now. The battle will be fierce. Everyone, prepare yourself! We need to kill them all!" Yaliza commanded as he walked to the doors.

He slid the doors open before he jumped outside. He wasn't the only one though. The other APF members also jumped outside, prepared to fight.

…

The Hunter Union members were still confused as to what was happening in the city? Why was black lightning falling everywhere? What was with the strange phenomenon? Moreover, why were APF helicopters in the city suddenly?

"Do you think it's the doing of some Variant? Is the city under attack? Could it be why APF is here?" One of the Hunter Union members asked.

"Even if that's the case, it doesn't seem right. For them to come to the city, it must be that they knew something was going to happen. Why didn't they warn Hunter Union then? Something really strange is going on," another Hunter Union Warlock answered.

"That's true. Our communications are suddenly down as well. Something is certainly not right. Let's just ask APF members what's going on."

Quite a few Hunter Union members looked towards the sky, staring at the helicopters that were flying above their heads only to see people jump out of them.

....

"What happened to him? Why did he suddenly leave?" Alicia asked, looking at the holes in the roof. Lucifer had just left.

" I think... He is somewhat upset. Let's just give that guy some privacy. He'll return when he has calmed down," Uzuki replied, not taking it seriously.

"I think this is more serious than you imagine. Just look at the sky. I never saw anything like that before. Even when he was caught by the APF, it wasn't anything like that," Caen commented, frowning.

"Kellian, what do you think we should do?" he asked Kellian.

"You all wait here. I'll see what can be done," Kellian said before he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Cassius didn't talk to anyone. Instead, he raised his sword before slashing the wall. He made an opening in the wall, before he jumped out, leaving to check things himself.

As he landed outside, he was able to see someone high in the sky. A dark figure could be seen, floating in the sky. Whenever the sky flashed, it made that figure more visible.

That person seemed to be carrying another person, grabbed by the neck.

"He's there." Caen and the others also noticed Lucifer in the sky through the opening that Cassius had made.

"This is pure chaos," he said, looking at the sky, wondering what was happening outside.

Lighting was falling randomly. He couldn't even be sure if one was going to fall where they were standing. Buildings kept collapsing. Things kept blowing up.

"He... What happened to him? Does he want to destroy everything?" Alicia asked, staring at the horrifying scene outside.

"Maybe..." Caen muttered.

On the roof of that same building, Kellian was standing, looking at Lucifer. The chill winds, mixed with the droplets of rain, fell on his skin, but his attention remained on Lucifer, wondering what he could do. Was there something he could try to stop this guy?

It didn't seem like Lucifer was in the right mindset to be stopped. But he couldn't let things happen this way either. They didn't want the whole city to be destroyed.

"What can I do to bring him back?"
