Inhuman Warlock
chapter-807

"Still, your genes link with so many species. It's hard to determine what you actually are."

"Do you know where you were first discovered on earth? You didn't try to trace your origins? Or asked the parents who adopted you?"

Lucifer took a pause, and only after thinking for a little while, he spoke, "They are dead, which made it hard for me to ask them anything."

He could've told the man about him being discovered in the dungeons, but he left out that answer and answered another question instead.

"That would certainly make it hard. The only people who knew about you died. So it's hard to find how you ended up in that world and who your true parents were. It's possible that your true parents traveled that world but left you behind for some reason."

"It could also be possible that you came to that world with the appearance of the dungeons because of some spatial disturbance. There are infinite possibilities, and we don't know what the real one can be."

"Alright, let's leave that. We'll try to find out for ourselves. We need to spread the information about you in all the worlds we know. Someone must know something. We can leave that in the backdrop. Answer my other questions."

....

The interrogation of Lucifer continued for two hours straight where he was asked about his history and everything he went through.

After the interrogation was completed, Layim sat relaxed.

"Let's get to the main topic now that we're done with the formalities. I heard quite a lot of things about you. And I think I've formed a General Idea about you by now. That's why I want to offer you a place in the Star Alliance."

"I think you are special, and it can be good for Star Alliance to have you in our organization. So, do you want to become a Star Alliance member?" Layim asked Lucifer.

"What benefits will I get?" Lucifer asked, despite having heard the answer from Joana previously.

"The benefits are simple. First, you'll be free from the shackles. Secondly, you'll be granted temporary citizenship of all Star Alliance member nations. You'll be allowed to stay anywhere as long as you don't avoid your duties."

"You won't have to pay to stay in any hotels. Moreover, as a star alliance member, with enough contribution, you can apply for a permanent citizenship in the future. And that's the benefits you'll receive with just the basic membership."

"If you do good in your service and get promoted to a one star captain, you will get even more benefits, including a ship and a crew of your own. As for the other benefits, you'll know when you get there. But I'll just tell you it'll be worth it."

"So, what do you say? You want to join? Or do you want to stay in the prison and wait for the courts to decide on your future about what to do with you for creating disturbance in our space? I'm sure the choice is simple, right?"

"The choice is indeed simple," Lucifer nodded. "I accept joining the Star Alliance, but I have one condition."

"What condition?"

"I want my world to be discovered as soon as possible, and I want to be made an Envoy of my world for a few years. I have some unfinished business there that I need to finish."

...

Hearing Lucifer's demands, Joana slapped his forehead. He had already promised this to Lucifer. He was going to be subtle about it when the time came and get the permission while making it seem like it was his decision and not Lucifer's.

A decision by Lucifer could easily be rejected since the Star Alliance couldn't give in to the demands of a new member, but if he was to say it, it could've easily been done.

Moreover, he wanted to give some false reporting about Lucifer being on the Ship while he was on earth to increase his score in the database. Now that everyone knew he was going on earth and for how long, the door to that shortcut was closed.

Joana was sure that Layim was going to say no to the demand. However, to his surprise, Layim instead smiled.

"You know, generally I would've said no. But I seem to like you. Despite being a prisoner and only having this one way out, you're demanding from me instead of jumping over the opportunity. I like that straightforward nature of yours. I'll say yes."

"I, Layim Malic, as a Two Star Admiral promise you that you'll be assigned as an envoy on Earth for a few years as soon as we find earth. And we will find it soon with your help. So, now do you want to join?"

Layim reached out his hand towards Lucifer.

Lucifer ignored his hand. "I can't shake hands. I destroy everything I touch. So I better not."

Layim retracted his hand. "No troubles."

"Anyway, now that it's final that you'll be joining, let me tell you about another thing. As a new member, you'll be working under a one star captain on a ship. And since you already know Joana, you'll be training with him."

"I promised you without his permission to make you an envoy, but after you return, you'll continue your training with him. You'll need to work hard to climb the stairs of success. I won't help you more than I did now."

Layim stood up. "I expect to see you at the top next time. Best of luck, young man. I hope you won't disappoint me."

He left the room, leaving Lucifer alone.

'The man who wanted to kill me is wishing me luck? What a day.' Lucifer stood up as well. He started walking back and forth.

Seeing Layim, a small worry about the future was established in his heart. He had thought that this wasn't a future of his where he met Layim, at least not this soon.

However, now that he had met Layim, he was sure that what he had seen was his future and nothing else.

'So I'm going to kill their queen, who is supposedly my wife? I still can't understand why. Instead of making the entire star alliance my enemy, I better stay away from their queen. If I don't get close to her and don't marry her, that future won't come true.'

'So it's final. I don't know who their queen is or what she's like, but I'll stay away from her whenever I'm before her.'

As Lucifer finished deciding, the door opened. It was Joana who had walked inside.

He walked closer to Lucifer and removed the handcuffs. "Congratulations. From today, you're a part of Star Alliance. I look forward to our future."

"I don't..." Lucifer replied.
