Chapter 981: The past

It was clear that these memories weren't his memories. He had only lived for a few years, and he remembered everything about that. It took him a moment to realize that they were the memories of the person before him.

****

"Congratulations, Master. You're now a father."

Cheers erupted as people congratulated a couple. The man looked to be barely twenty years old. He looked so happy, as if he had received the entire world today in the form of his son.

The man walked closer to his son and picked him up in his arms, kissing the young boy on the forehead.

Lucifer felt the man kiss his forehead, realizing that the man was probably the father of the person he had just met.

Not too far from him, he could see a woman lying on the bed, looking extremely tired.

'Is this his memory?' Lucifer wondered as memories kept progressing.

Throughout the memories, he saw himself grow up and his parents also getting older. He was able to see that the people in the Ancient Clan weren't bad. Instead, they were very kind and nice, not only to him but to others as well, despite standing at the peak of the world.

They were nothing like the Star Alliance made them out to be. Things in his memories moved smoothly until he turned nineteen years old.

It was his nineteenth birthday. His parents took him out of the clan. Since his father wanted him to know about other worlds so he could take over his position, he took him to each world.

Unfortunately, in one of the worlds, he saw something that changed their lives altogether.

His father saw a child being beaten and his mother being dragged by men dressed in the Royal Army's attire. All her clothes had already been stripped, and the people were just watching her being humiliated.

No matter the cause, such behavior was unbearable to his father. His father was so angry that he killed the Royal Guards. He thought it was the end of it, only to find out from the woman that their daughter was already taken by the Prince.

The woman told them that she hadn't done anything wrong other than offending the Prince by rejecting his demand of sleeping with her daughter for one night.

Not only did Prince kidnap the daughter, but also sent his men to humiliate the entire family.

The woman fell on his father's feet, begging him to save them. His father also didn't want to leave things as they were. He was here to teach his son how to be a good overlord, and he had to take action.

His Father went inside the Palace, only to find that the woman's daughter was already dead. She had killed herself to escape from the fate of being the Prince's plaything.

Lucifer's father killed the Prince for this crime, and he did so right before the King! As for this world, it was none other than the world of the Baltics! This was the place where it all started.

The King could only watch his son being killed, but he couldn't do anything. In fact, on the outside, he agreed with the decision of his son being published with death for this crime.

It was only after he and his father left that the Baltics truly started showing their colors. They secretly started creating an alliance. They used lies to convince some of the alliance members while using treasures and greed to attract others.

The operation was kept a secret until everything was ready, and it took five years.

Exactly five years after the incident, on his twenty-fourth birthday, the Ancient Clan was attacked from all sides.

Almost all the species were involved in this attack, even the ones that were once saved from the brink of extinction by the Ancient Clan.

The Ancient Clan was the strongest. They were the overlord, but before the attack of so many people, even they couldn't survive.

After a battle that lasted for three months, the Ancient Clan was destroyed, and Lucifer watched everything with his own eyes inside these memories. This type of war... This many enemies...he had only heard rumors about the strength of the Ancient Clan, but he watched it with his own eyes.

Even with the combined power of the entire universe, it took the enemies three months to kill a handful of Ancient Clan Members. Even though the Enemy Alliance won and the Ancient Clan was wiped out, there was one person who was left alive... The man whose memories he was seeing.

The man wanted to fight to the death, but his father made him promise that he won't fight in this war... The man was forced to leave his home behind, which was almost destroyed already.

Before the man was forced to leave, his father gave him one treasure... The Holy Treasure of the Ancient Clan. He didn't want this treasure to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Lucifer didn't know what that treasure did, but according to his father, it could only be used two times in its lifetime, and it was already used once before. That left only one more use...

The man left this treasure and left, filled with hate. He had promised his father that he wouldn't fight in this war, but he had already decided that he was going to take his revenge.

After leaving his clan, he wandered from place to place, biding his time while getting stronger.

With time, he also destroyed the three Major Clans that were responsible for this war, Including the Baltics. Only a few Baltics managed to escape, taking shelter inside their Dungeons.

The Dungeons weren't in any s.p.a.ce. They couldn't be reached through ordinary means, and that was what kept those people safe as the Baltics looked for a suitable world to open an entrance to the Dungeons.

It took them around fifty years before they managed to find a world where the energy was suitable to help them get stronger... Earth!
