Chapter 148 - 148: Facing Xander

Lucifer gazed at Caen, wondering about his words. It did seem true that there would be many facilities like this all around the world, and many kids like him would be suffering.

He didn’t think about it for long as he started leaving. He wanted to leave all the thinking for later, when he was free of all influence and alone with himself.

...

Xander ran to the Ice Tomb and placed his hand on the wall, creating another opening with his fire before he stepped inside the Ice Tomb.

"Where are all the guards?"

As soon as he entered the Ice Tomb, he noticed that no guards were here, unlike before. This increased his suspicions even more.

He was sure that something had happened. Lucifer was here, and he was certainly not alone. If he was alone, all the guards would be lying dead here and not missing.

He ran towards the facility; however, he had just taken a few steps when he saw Lucifer coming out of the facility. Behind him, Caen also came out, but he was supporting the face of Xander instead.

Seeing a person with his face, it didn’t take Xander long to understand what was happening.

"Caen, you’re here as well. I should have understood at the start when I saw your and Lucifer’s absence," Xander said as a fire burned around his fist.

Caen was surprised to see Xander here. How was he allowed in? He should have been engaged in the battle outside. Was there a mess up?

"Xander Blake, are you still supporting the side of injustice because of your rules?" Caen asked as he stepped forward.

"Step out of your blindness and see the reality! Look behind me at these young Variants! They were being imprisoned and tortured here. And just like them, many young Variants are suffering everywhere. Our goal is noble. Your mission to obstruct us is evil instead!" He said.

"So step aside and let us leave. Don’t contribute to making the lives of the Variants hell," he further added as he stepped forward to cover Lucifer behind him.

"I’m doing that? You talk about hell? How many innocent humans have you killed throughout the years? How many cities have you destroyed? How many kids have you killed? Are you saying you care about kids?" Xander retorted.

"There’s balance at the moment. I know that there is some injustice and some humans are bad, but you can’t punish all humans for that! We have powers, and we need to be responsible!" he said.

"As for making hell, the real hell will be seen if you guys come to power since the weak will have no option then!" He further added.

"You’re really stubborn," Caen told Xander as he sighed.

"Alright, Isona, do it!" He let out as he grinned.

"Huh?" Stunned, Xander looked back only to notice that Isona was far away, running towards him. She hadn’t even reached here yet.

Caen had lied. As Xander looked back at Caen, he saw a knife coming towards him, flying at rapid speed.

" Little tricks!" Xander said as he raised his right hand towards the incoming knife. A wave of flame appeared before him and flew towards the knife. The knife didn’t even reach him before it melted.

Caen was still standing with Lucifer, gazing at Xander. He was sure that Xander had the strength to attack them all.

Except for Lucifer, the rest of them would have died, but he wasn’t attacking. Most probably because Xander didn’t want to kill the kids that were standing near Caen.

’Looks like bringing those kids is working miracles,’ Caen thought.

"Lucifer Azarel! Listen to me," Xander said as he started walking towards Lucifer. "I know what happened to you. And I also know it was wrong. That’s why we were bringing that Doctor Rao to justice, but the path you’re walking on isn’t right."

"A long time ago, I met your father. He was a great man and a kind soul. I even talked to him at that time. He was always my idol with the way he thought and the way he used his powers to make the world a better place."

"As you’re his son, I want nothing bad for you either. Please surrender. I promise no one will harm you," he further said, trying to take Lucifer out of the equation while telling his genuine feelings.

"I’m not doing anything you say," Lucifer said before he started walking forward as well, towards the tunnel opening.

He also took off his gloves and placed them in the pockets of his pants since he didn’t want them to be destroyed in case there was a fight.

Seeing Lucifer take off his gloves, Xander believed that it was because he wanted to fight.

"Lucifer, please listen to me. You have already crossed the line. Don’t make more mistakes. We’re at the point where we can still salvage the situation," Xander said.

"You killed half my team! Innocent Variants! The Variants who only wanted to save people, as your Father did! Yes, you killed them."

"You killed the father of so many kids, and you took away the husbands of so many wives. Most of them had a family they needed to go back to, and you took them away from their family!"

"Your crime is grave, and you really deserve the strictest punishment for that, but I understand that you were misguided as well. As I said, don’t make another mistake, and I can still salvage the situation. Surrender and come with us!" he said.

"As I said, I’m not coming anywhere with you. As for killing your people, why do you think that is? Did I ever hurt you? I only killed the people who misbehaved with me. As for the Variants, your Variants came to capture me!"

Lucifer said firmly as he kept stepping forward.

"All I asked from you was the location of the Facility where I suffered! I even told you that! But you still gave me a fake address! You sent me to a different city where your Variants were sitting with a Trap!"
