Chapter 1049 1050: A father's love

Once the Core had truly accepted him, it merged with his soul more than with his body. It was as if this was something that had been with him from eternity. After accepting the core, Lucifer finally felt as if he was completed.

Unfortunately, at the same time, he also felt more heartbroken as he understood many more things that he previously didn't. He recovered a small fragment of his memories that he himself didn't know previously. It was the memories of the day of his last birthday, before his entire clan was annihilated.

Heartbroken, he dropped to his knees. This core... It was something that only the Master of the Ancient Clan could use. His father was supposed to possess it, but during his birthday celebration, his father had transferred this core to him.

His father didn't even wait for him to grow up as he loved him so much. The core wasn't just the proof of his father's trust in him with the clan, but also a way for his father to ensure that his son didn't die for any reason.

To protect his son, his father had transferred the greatest treasure of their clan to him, but also to not let him be conceited about it, sealing the memories related to the Core.

At that time, Lucifer's father didn't expect the kind of trouble that was waiting for them which could annihilate the entire clan.

Tears trickled down Lucifer's eyes as he remained on his knees, repeating a single sentence. "If only he had kept this..."

His father had transferred the treasure, not expecting that they were going to be attacked right after. The Ancient Clan had been at peace for over an eternity, so his father didn't expect a sudden attack like that.

If he had kept it, then the outcome could've been much different. Even if they were attacked when they were unprepared, with this, his father could've changed the present, past and future.

His father could've even gone back in the past to change things. Unfortunately, everything happened at the wrong time.

Following the transfer of the core, his father lost the unique ability that only the Clan Head could use. Not only that, but on that day, his father was also at his weakest, as if he had ripped out a part of his soul.

Lucifer had never understood how his father, who was invincible, could've been killed even if all the clans in the world joined their forces. But now he understood. Once again, it was all because of him!

Even after the attack, his father could've forcefully retrieved the core from Lucifer, but he didn't. Once transferred, if he was to forcefully retrieve it, it was no different than killing Lucifer with his own hands, wiping his entire existence.

Even going back in the past couldn't have brought back Lucifer since he would've been erased from space and time itself. Even at his weakest, his father fought for his clan till the last breath, going through the traps, schemes and betrayals, but he never once thought about ripping the heart of his son to survive.

"It's because of me... It's all because of me..." Lucifer mumbled, tears streaming down his face as he started hating himself even more. No matter where he was, no matter what he did, he always brought bad luck to his loved ones, taking their lives.

 He couldn't forgive himself for the pain he had caused, yet he couldn't forget the love of his parents for him. His real parents loved him more than their lives, enough to sacrifice everything for him.

On the other hand, the parents on earth who adopted him weren't different either. Instead of killing the child of unknown origin that they found inside a Dungeon, they brought that child gone and loved him more than someone could love their real child.

In both eras, he had the best parents he could've asked for. He had friends who supported him, no matter how stubborn he was. He had so much, yet he had nothing.

With tear filled eyes, Lucifer looked at the sky, his eyes filled with even more rage for the clan leaders in the sky.

Lucifer appeared to be a completely different person now. It was as if the entire world had turned into a sea of blood.

Although he looked as handsome as a demonic prince in his new avatar, his eyes were filled with terrifying emotion, as if he was a volcano that was about to erupt.

The time that had paused, once again started flowing. The terrifying dark aura of the formation engulfed Lucifer.

In the sky, the Clan Leaders watched the entire scene, carrying a smug smile on their lips. However, what they saw next stunned them to their core.

With a single wave of his hand, the dark aura moved away from Lucifer, as if he was controlling the formation now.

The Formation Clan tried hard to control, but they completely lost it.

Lucifer glanced at the Formation Clan Members that were controlling the formation.

He lightly tapped his foot on the ground. Following the vibration that no one could hear, the dark aura flew back, swallowing the Formation Clan Members, their screams loud enough to send chills down the spine of anyone who heard them.

In the blink of an eye, there was a terrifying whirlpool of the dark aura around Lucifer who stood in the center, completely unharmed.

"What are you doing? He's taken control! Stop supplying energy to the formation!" The Formation Clan Leader roared at the top of his lungs, for the first time fear evident in his eyes.

In response, the Clan Leaders who were precisely supplying energy looked at him with confusion. "We've already stopped..."

"You did?"  The Formation Clan Leader's face went pale as he looked at Lucifer. "Then how is he..."

He didn't even finish the sentence as he thought of an absurd possibility. The formation that needed the combined energy of multiple Clan Heads that had lived for hundreds of years was being managed by Lucifer with his own strength! He was the Energy Source himself!
