"You have been expelled from the Star Alliance. You're a Criminal for the Star Alliance, and you need to come back with me to give your explanation to the Investigation Head." Maya declared, shocking Lucifer. Even he hadn't thought this could be so worse. What did she mean he was expelled and a criminal? Why?

"If you're joking, this isn't a good joke." Lucifer grimly stated.

Veracity placed her hand on Lucifer's shoulder. "She isn't lying."

"Huh?" Confirmation from Veracity shocked Lucifer even more. This lady... She was truly here to arrest him? But why? He hadn't done anything so far. He hadn't killed the so-called queen as he was accused in the future. He hadn't killed Joana yet either. So why was he a criminal?

"May I ask what is my crime?" Lucifer asked.

"You'll get all the explanations once we are back there. Until then, I can't tell you anything. Lucifer, please understand. Even captain Joana has tried his best, but you must come with us. You can't avoid it. So please surrender kindly," Maya declared grimly.

"I would love to see how you arrest him." Tristan stepped between Lucifer and the lady, blocking her view. "Lady, I don't care who you are, but you've been talking an awful lot. It's time you leave this place."

Maya ignored Tristan and kept her eyes on Lucifer. "Will you come or not? Please don't force me to do something we'll both regret. I'm being really accommodating here."

"First, tell me, what is my crime?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to answer you. I'm not going anywhere without enough information. You can try to force me, but you're right. It won't end well for both of us."

"It's about your species..." Maya answered after thinking for a long time. "We've found a perfect match."

"What?"

"I'm not joking. At first, we found partial matches. Your species matched with everyone. It had a trace of all the Bloodlines. Even our systems didn't know how to classify it, but now we have a perfect match. That's why you're being called back. We thought we could make you a peace symbol for the world... But you... That will be really hard now for what you are," Maya further explained.

"If you can come with me and give an explanation before the Royal Court, you might be freed. But if you don't, things will get really bad. I'm saying this as a friend of yours. Please come with me. You won't have to do much. Just be honest. I'm sure they'll see you aren't a bad person like... those people."

"Which people? Who are you talking about? What is my species? What do you know?" Lucifer asked, getting agitated. Did he finally have a clue what he really was?

"I already told you all I was allowed to. If you want to know more, you'll have to come with us," Maya responded.

"May I ask why you were looking around the Dungeons?" Lucifer asked. "If you were here to arrest me, why were you looking around?"

"Because it was my mission. I was told to make sure if you were really from that species. And I got the proof from the energy traces of the Warzone. The energy that you used there... It leaves no doubt. You're from that species... Moreover, since you were able to use that cursed energy, it seems you've started awakening your Bloodline."

"I've gathered enough evidence to prove it. All that's left is your testimony. Come with us and show that you aren't a threat, despite your Bloodline. Can you do it? Just know, if you disagree, it would mean that I'll have to use force. And you can't win against me."

"Even if you somehow win against me, more will come. The entire galaxy will be your enemy. And then you won't even get the chance to explain yourself. Please understand!"

Maya talked really nicely to Lucifer, trying to make him understand. Even though she issued threats, it was more like she was explaining what might happen as a friend.

'The energy I used... Does she mean the Vessel energy from that guy which I received? Should I tell her about that guy? But she said my bloodline matches that species too. It's just that my energy signature wasn't matching. So my bloodline.. and his energy... I was right! We are both related somehow! As for how, I will find that out.'

'I can't tell these people about him in any case. If they think my Bloodline has awakened, I can ask them to test my energy signature again. Now that I don't have the vessel energy, the energy signatures won't match. I can prove her investigation wrong. As for bloodline, that would be a real problem to prove wrong.'

Lucifer lost himself in thought as he wondered what he could do to get out of this problem. If he could prove that his energy signature was wrong, he could seed some doubt in their heads. From then on, at least he had some chance to crawl his way out, but he also knew that if he failed, he was going to be back in the shackles, unable to use his abilities.

He raised his head, glancing at the bright sky. 'If I can talk my way out of it, then fine. But if I can't, will he come to help me? Wait, what am I even thinking? I've been to the future! I know that nothing happens to me! I marry their Queen and also become a level one captain! If that future is true, then this incident isn't going to change anything. I will be safe.'

He took a deep breath as he nodded. "Alright, I will come with you."

He had decided to take the offer. Instead of going against the Star Alliance, it was better to go with the flow, trusting the future he saw. Moreover, this way, he could also get to know more about his bloodline!

He could get the answer he had been looking for a long time! Just who was he?! Just what were his origins? Where did he come from? Why was he abandoned on earth? And why is his bloodline considered so bad despite having traces of all bloodlines? He had so many questions, and he believed all his answers that he was looking for were present at the Star Alliance Headquarters.

He just needed to go with them and do his best to make the future he saw become true. But only was he going to get his answers, but he could also come out better than before. At least that's what he thought at that time...
