Chapter 1896 Lilith's Memories. VIII
Chapter 1896 Lilith's Memories. VIII
For the next couple of hours, Felix and the tenants watched how Lilith's life took a drastic turn.
Starting with enforcing an earlier banishment by attempting to steal the universe's heart. Since she was already antagonizing most of the unigins, the majority voted to get her kicked out, finally done with her shenanigans.
After she was banished, Lilith slumbered for a short while to avoid any eyes on her. Then, she kicked off her plan by wishing for Nimo's birth.
Since Nimo was considered an anomaly, the wish was just too expensive. This caused her to get punished heavily by the universe.
Lilith didn't seem to care as she placed Nimo's egg at the heart of the void realm and she returned to her slumber.
Felix fast-forwarded the memories until Lilith woke up to find herself in the Primogenitors Era.
She straightway kicked off the second part of the plan. She located Lord Khoas and charmed him with her words, manipulating him emotionally to give her everything she wanted to create the void creatures' race.
With his help, Lilith's punishment was reduced immensely as she didn't use the universe's assistance for everything.
After she was done, she threw him away like disposable garbage.
Everyone turned to look at Lord Khaos, feeling somewhat sorry for him.
Being treated in that manner was terrible on its own, but discovering later that his misfortune ended up benefiting the very man he had bet on to bring him justice, was a different story.
"Don't feel bad for me. We are all puppets, dancing under the hands of the universe consciousness."
Lord Khaos said expressionlessly one last time before retreating from the gathering, having no interest in watching the rest.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The tenants' expressions immediately turned solemn, understanding none of them truly possessed free will.
While Lord Khaos was manipulated a bit more directly, their entire existence came to be for the sake of helping the universe's consciousness reborn through Felix.
As much as they considered this a noble purpose due to their tight relationship with Felix, it didn't change the fact that their lives were attached to strings from birth.
"Don't think too much about it." Eris said calmly, "Even the three rulers are under the same puppet master. You should feel glad that we are on his side."
In her eyes, if everyone was under the same curse, it was much better to be on the side of the caster.
The tenants seemed to agree with her as everyone dropped those depressing thoughts and returned to Lilith's memories.
They witnessed the emergence of the void creatures, and the universe's history started to become familiar to them...The same civilizations fell and the same ones rose in their place.
Felix quickly skipped to the Dark Ages era and watched as Lilith started a new project on the other side of the Great Nothingness...The birth of the Demon race!
She extended her palm forward and started to channel the darkest and most malevolent energy within her until it condensed into a crimson orb.
This was her evil energy born from the seven sins laws...As an energy, it had no consciousness and Lilith knew that it would take forever for it to gain it on its own.
Thus, she accelerated the process by using a wish, sacrificing everything she prepared as a price.
"Rise, Lucifer, born of my soul's night, bearer of chaos, and bane of the light."
With the final word, the crimson orb started to take shape into a tall and regal figure. His presence exuded a raw dark charisma while his entire aura screamed of wickedness.
As his features developed, his appearence started to resemble Felix more and more until eventually, he was more or less his very twin!
Only now did Felix and the tenants have their assumption confirmed about Lucifier's identical appearence to Felix being a result of Lilith's doing.
She had been staring at him for centuries while perfecting her plan.
"Knowing her, she must have definitely done this to mess with you." Apollo chuckled.
"Most likely." Felix's eyelids twitched.
Meanwhile, Lucifer opened his eyes for the first time just to see Lilith's breathtaking beauty covering his line of sight.
At first sight, he felt a kind of connection to her like no other, making him lower his head and speak his first-ever word.
"Mother."
Lilith observed him with detached indifference, her eyes cold and calculating. She had crafted him to be the perfect instrument for her plans.
But as she looked at him, she felt no attachment, no maternal instinct. To her, Lucifer was nothing more than a means to an end, a tool in her grand scheme.
But, she had no interest in telling him this.
"Lucifer, my greatest creation," She spoke, her voice carrying a bit of warmth, "I brought you to this life for a simple reason...You must grow strong enough to dominate the universe and reclaim the throne."
"My purpose is to own the universe..." Lucifer murmured to himself as he gazed into the distance.
Although he was recently born, Lilith made sure to feed him with some basic information as she had no interest in raising a clueless child.
"The only way to achieve your grand purpose is to merge with this entity and consume his powers." Lilith continued her brainwashing by showing Lucifer a spiritual picture of Felix from the future.
When Lucifer saw how he looked like Felix, he felt his chest thumping loudly, like it was calling him to merge with Felix as fast as possible.
"Lead me to him, Mother! I won't fail you!" Lucifer uttered with a cold resolve.
"Settle down, your destiny won't arrive until twenty million years from now." Lilith said, her voice growing fainter, "This should give you more than enough time to prepare for your ascension."
Before Lucifer could react, Lilith added one last time before her body disappeared into the ether, "I am going to slumber for a while...You know what to do."
"Mother...I..." Lucifer swallowed his words and promised while lowering his head, "Sleep well Mother, I have everything covered."
Lilith had indeed gone to sleep to recover from the punishment of bringing Lucifer to life. Although she prepared the price, it was still not enough for such a big wish that was capable of altering the entire history of the universe.
Meanwhile, Felix and the rest of the tenants were surprised to see that the memories had switched from Lilith's eyes to Lucifer's eyes.
"She probably obtained all of his memories after waking up." Lady Sphinx said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and continued watching as Lucifer navigated his new life on the other side of the universe.
If there was one word that could describe it, it would definitely be...Demonic.
Lucifer had brought hell on the entire population of the other side, demonizing anything that breathed.
He had only one goal in mind, to create an army of demons to help him with his universe's domination.
When he realized that his speed was slow, he created the other six demonic princes, giving them free will, unlike the rest of the demons.
Then, he retracted back to darkness and left them to fight amongst each other to obtain more territories until the other side became a demon-infested realm.
"So many lives lost, so many lives tortured...All for the sake of my ascension." Felix spoke under his breath with an expressionless look.
He had his emotions turned off as he watched the whole demonic massacre being carried out, knowing that if he didn't do it, he would be beyond disturbed.
He knew that nothing good would come up from reacting to those scenes, knowing that there was nothing he could do for them.
All he could do was make sure that such a massacre would never be carried out under his presence...He was already doing it by protecting the entire SGAlliance from the three rulers'.
"It's not for your ascension, it's for the universe's consciousness rebirth...Everything is for that goal." Eris said calmly.
"Goal huh?" Felix narrowed his eyes coldly, "I can't wait to find out about his reasoning."
