Inhuman Warlock
chapter-660

"The ability cores are inside your body, but they can't be touched physically. They are more into an illusory form."

"If my energy core is inside my finger, it doesn't matter if you slice my finger since my energy core will just move to a different part of my body."

"It was a theory made for understanding the abilities to a deeper extent."

"So the ability of Varant...?" Dallas asked.

"It just momentarily trapped the energy core in a special type of barrier. That's why he needed to touch the person, getting a Direct control to influence their cores. The core theory is absolute," Eve said.

"Exactly. That's the same theory I was taught in the academy with Lucifer. And I believe this theory contains our answers," Cassius said.

"How? Didn't you say the cores are illusory? We can't take them out. We can't even touch them. So how does it help us?" Jiani asked.

"Just leave it to me. I think you'll get an answer soon. Still, it should be ready for battle in case things go wrong. In any case, I believe we can bring Lucifer back with this," Cassius said as he turned around and called someone.

Eve walked back to Lucifer, holding his hand again. She believed she understood what Cassius was trying to do. She also knew who he was going to call. And it gave her faith that Lucifer was going to be back soon.

....

Unaware that his teammates were planning on making his trip to the past short, Lucifer was still flying with Zale.

He was trying to find a way back on his own as well. If he had known what was happening with his real body, it was unclear if he was going to be happy or upset.

He wanted to do many things in this world. He wanted to leave of his own volition and not on someone else's wish. However, he had no clue.

He and Zale kept flying for hours straight before Lucifer once again became hungry. Instead of finding an island, he decided to pull the same old trick as he saw a cruise ship in the distance.

"Come, let's eat something." He smiled as he landed on the cruise ship. Unlike last time, he didn't try to stay hidden though.

He believed he was pretty strong to handle any unforeseen circumstances. He didn't need to hide.

There were many people on the deck of the ship who saw Lucifer coming through the air from a distance. And watching him land made some people wonder if they were hallucinating.

These were the starting days of the Variants, and not many people knew about them. In fact, most of the world didn't know about the existence of superhumans that could achieve such a feat which stunned them.

There were certainly a few humans on the cruise who understood what Variants were. They also knew the significance of such people.

One such man was the richest man on this cruise who was here with his daughter and his wife.

The man was in his mid-forties while his daughter was only in her early twenties.

Seeing Lucifer and Zale, he believed he had found a nice groom for his daughter. If he could establish a relationship with one of these two handsome young men, he could certainly gain a big advantage and a powerful supporter.

He picked up two glasses of wine, one in each hand, and approached the two guests.

"Welcome, young men. I am Joan King. I own the-"

The man was still speaking, but Lucifer simply ignored him and walked straight to the stairs. Zale followed him, leaving the middle-aged man behind.

"Hmm?" The man just looked blankly, wondering if he was invisible.

His daughter approached him. "Tsk, what arrogant people."

"Shhh, don't talk like that! Of course, they'll be arrogant. They are special, after all. If I were in their place, I wouldn't talk to random people either. Don't take it personally," the man said, patting the head of his daughter.

"We just need to try a little more. After we win them to our side, you can't even imagine the benefits we can have."

"Moreover, they are certainly handsome men, right? If you make one of them your husband, your friends will certainly be jealous, won't they?"

The girl just rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

She walked back to her table. She understood what her father was trying to do. Even though she wasn't eager to marry, she didn't mind her father's attempts since she did find the men attractive. Still, she didn't show her father what she truly felt, letting him do as he pleased.

The man went downstairs, following the men, wondering what they were looking for. He was sure that they were tired and probably looking for rooms. He had already decided to offer them his luxurious rooms to rest.

Unfortunately, the moment he reached downstairs, his jaws dropped. The two men weren't looking for a bed. Instead, one of them was sitting at a dining table. It was Zale.

The other person was standing in the back, talking to the staff of the ship. He couldn't see the face of Lucifer since his back was facing him. He couldn't even see the staff's face because it was being hidden because of Lucifer.

If he was able to see the face of the man, he might have noticed the frightened face of the staff member because a lightning bolt was resting on his neck. Just a little closer, and he was going to be dead.

"You understand, right? If you don't want each and every person on this ship to die, get us something to eat. And we'll leave."

"I-i understand," The man said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Good boy," Lucifer let out, smiling. His lightning disappeared. He turned around, flashing his calm smile as he walked back to the table of Zale.

"What did they say?" Zale asked Lucifer.

"I talked to them nicely, and they understood our plight, deciding to help us," Lucifer replied. "Nice people."

"Excuse me, Gentleman. May I sit with you here?" Joan asked, approaching Lucifer and Zale.

"Nope," Lucifer lazily replied.

"Ah." The man's face twitched unwillingly.

"Do you have something important to talk about? I think you wanted to talk to us upstairs as well," Zale let out.

"Right! I wanted to talk to you about something important. I'll just take your five minutes," Joan said.

"I think we should hear him," Zale told Lucifer.

"Fine. You can sit." Lucifer didn't say no to Zale.

"Awesome!" The man sat on the third chair.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Lucifer asked.

"Have you ever thought about marriage?" Joan asked straight away. As he talked, his glance was at Zale since Zale seemed more accommodating.

It made Lucifer look at him weirdly.. He couldn't believe it. Was the guy actually talking about his father's marriage right before his eyes?
