Chapter 1040
The Dragon Clan was in ruins. Not a single life was left behind. There was not even a single person who had lived to tell the tale. In the entire world, only Lucifer existed, standing over the ruined land.
He looked at the surroundings after devouring the body of the Dragon King. Although the sight of this world was ghastly with everything destroyed, in Lucifer's eyes, this was a beautiful scene.
Once upon a time, his happy home was also destroyed by the people of this world. And now when the same happened here, he found it beautiful. Although he was slightly upset that he couldn't kill the Dragon King with his own hands, but at the end, the ends justified everything.
A portal opened before Lucifer. His dark tattered robe billowed in the chaotic winds as he stepped through the portal, ready to continue his journey of destruction.
He went back to the area where the Kingdom of Aquarians used to exist. However, as soon as he emerged on the other side, he was greeted by a grim landscape.
The beautiful blue world submerged in water was nowhere to be found. Instead, all he saw was a vast expanse of desolate, barren space with meteors.
Although he was gone for only a short time, so much had changed in this world. The Dragon Realm was in a special space of its own where the flow of time was different.
With one day passing in the Realm of Dragons, an entire week should've passed in the main world. Although Lucifer understood the time difference, but he still didn't understand how the world was destroyed in the one week he was gone.
The world couldn't have just disappeared. The Aquarians weren't capable of something like that. It left only one possibility. The world itself was destroyed.
He didn't understand who could've done it. It definitely wasn't the work of Draconians as he kept them engaged. And no one else in the banquet was strong enough to destroy the entry world.
His thoughts raced as he tried to think of a possibility. Soon, he remembered something. He remembered the appearance of the Star Alliance General.
At that moment, he was more immersed in the Aquarian King and the Draconians, who were the two biggest enemies of his clan. That's why at that moment, he couldn't focus on the Star Alliance that was no different than a toothless tiger now. But even a toothless tiger was capable of taking lives.
Unless another hidden clan came out in the last week, there was only one possibility. The Star Alliance had destroyed this world.
When he thought about it, he also remembered noticing something before he had followed the Draconians. Some strange colors had flashed in the sky and the space had become slightly unstable. He didn't think much about it at that moment, but now everything was clear.
Although his expressions didn't show his true thoughts, but his eyes revealed it all. First, he had lost the opportunity of killing the Dragon King. And now, he had lost the traitors of the Aquarian Clan as well. He felt betrayed, as if something was taken from him!
Their lives belonged to him! And what belonged to him was taken away by the Star Alliance.
He had let the Star Alliance exist as he focused on the main culprits of his past. But now he realized that no matter how weak, an obstruction was still an obstruction. He had to cleanse the obstruction.
Another portal opened before him, connecting him to a place that he had visited many times in the past. He was going back to the Star Alliance Headquarters.
....
In the Star Alliance, no one knew what kind of problem was coming for them. Instead, there was an atmosphere of celebration.
The Star Alliance had tossed a victory celebration, celebrating Lucifer's death.
"I must say, you've actually solved our biggest problem! Although we had to lose a world for it, but it was way worth it!"
One after another, many new generals approached the General that had issued orders to destroy Lucifer with the Aquarians. It was a monumental moment that had solved all their fears in an instant.
After the attack on the world, the Star Alliance had searched for days to find if anyone had survived. However, they couldn't find anyone which convinced them that Lucifer was dead. If Lucifer wasn't dead, why wouldn't he attack them right after the attack otherwise?
For them, Lucifer had long gone and all their problems were solved. They had taken revenge for the fallen Star Alliance members. And now they could focus on strengthening the Star Alliance's place in the world.
In fact, this time, they had invited all Hidden Clans in the Celebration as well. Since Lucifer's appearance had attracted the attention of various Hidden Clans as well, most of the Clans sent their representatives.
In essence, most of the forces of the world had gathered inside the Star Alliance for the celebration in which the Star Alliance was to announce the news about Lucifer's death.
At the moment, the security of the world had also strengthened. Although Lucifer was dead, but they hadn't told this to the Hidden Clans yet, so until they broke the news, they decided to keep the illusion that they were still worried about Lucifer. All the defense mechanisms were still active.
....
Lucifer appeared outside the world, looking at the portal that prevented a spatial portal from connecting further. He could try to break the portal, but this time, he chose another method.
The last time, before he had left this world, he had left a Summoned Beast behind. Although all his cores were destroyed along with his other Contracted Summons, but the Summoned Beast he left here had still survived. It was still connected to him.
Lucifer used the previous method and switched his place with the Summoned Beast that had spent all its time hiding in the land, far away from the Star Alliance City.
He appeared on the other side of the barrier, only a few miles away from Star City.
