Chapter 156 - 156: Weakness Of Caen
After Zale’s death, the houses were also taken over by the government. The poor people who lived there were told to evict since this place was now to be sealed forever for some reason.
After this, the neighborhood of Zale Azarel became empty with his death, and didn’t see a soul there until Lucifer returned.
Vega knew a few things like those, but now he wanted to delve in deeper into Lucifer’s past before he was taken. From the moment he was born to the end of the moment he was taken.
"Vega, we’re at the end of the tunnel. We need to leave," Caen reminded Vega, who was still lost in thoughts.
Vega came out of his thoughts and jumped outside. Lucifer, Caen, and the others followed behind as they also left.
While Lucifer entered in a helicopter with Caen and his team like before, Vega and the others entered their respective ones before they started leaving.
Even while leaving, the last helicopter was Dion’s, who was keeping an eye on the back.
The APF members watched the helicopters of their enemies leave as a mist started surrounding the helicopters, making them unable to see them.
All that was left on the battlefield was a bunch of disappointed APF members who were watching the enemies leave. Their morale was down as well.
They could also see many bodies lying all around the field, unmoving. Some of the bodies were APF members who had died in the battle, while the others belonged to the Variant Uprising members whose bodies were left behind.
One of their leaders was fighting death because he was hurt by a kid. Their second leader had also retreated from the fight, completely ignoring the enemies because of Xander. As for their Main Leader, Varant, he didn’t even show up.
....
"Xander! Don’t close your eyes! You’ll be fine! Just keep your eyes open! There are some medical facilities inside! We’ll help you! Don’t lose hope! Nothing will happen to you!" Ayn told Xander as she picked him up before she started carrying him to the facility straight ahead.
"Mitali! Jackson! Reo! Come with me!" She yelled loudly. At her yell, three Variants of her team started following after her. These were the people that had medical knowledge.
...
As the helicopters were flying, Caen sat down beside Lucifer, still in the disguise of Xander.
"Are you going to change that look or not?" Lucifer asked Caen.
"I forgot about that entirely," Caen said as he stood up. He took off the robe before he once again placed his fingers on both his cheeks and started changing his face.
This time, however, he changed to look like a woman that Lucifer had never seen before.
"A woman? Why are you disguised as that now? Get back to your real look," Lucifer told Caen as he looked at the woman before him in confusion.
The Woman seemed like a model who was in her late twenties. Her waist was slim, while her hands looked thin. Even her chest was small, making her look different from Ayn and Isona, who both had pretty decent sized breasts.
"That look? Don’t worry, that wasn’t my real look," Caen replied as he sat beside Lucifer.
"This is your real look? You were a woman?’ Lucifer asked, confused.
"Not really. This isn’t my real look either. Unfortunately, I can’t get back to my real look since my powers don’t let me."
"Moreover, I can only stay in a look for a certain period of time. That look was already near expiry. This is the new look I will have for a little while," Caen said, who was now a woman.
Lucifer even seemed confused now. What was Caen in reality?
"Was your real look of a man or a woman?" Lucifer asked.
"I don’t remember, actually. The first time I used this power, I forgot what I was before. I did have my memories, but I don’t remember anything about my looks or what I was," Caen answered, sighing.
This time, however, he was lying. He did know about his real look, and he could even get back to it. He just didn’t want to do it. No one knew what he actually looked like, and he didn’t want anyone to know either.
Moreover, he wanted to make Lucifer stop asking him to get to his real look, so he made up this story.
More than half the things this time he said to Lucifer were actually a lie.
Also, he could certainly get back to the old look that he had before Xander, but he wanted to use this opportunity to make Lucifer familiar with his changing looks since he was starting to get bored in that one look.
"I understand," Lucifer replied as he stopped talking. He started looking to the other side, unsure how he should treat it now. Caen felt like an entirely different person.
When Caen had told him about his family last time, Lucifer felt it was genuine. He also didn’t feel that he was lying when he talked badly about the APF. But this time, Lucifer had a feeling that Caen wasn’t being honest.
This feeling was very strong inside him, and this was making him upset. He once again remembered that every person had a goal of their own. No one was going to do anything for another person for no reason. It wasn’t as if he was actually related to Caen and the Variant Uprising.
Caen also sat silent and didn’t say anything since he didn’t believe he could say anything of value.
Repeating about APF? If he talked too much, it would be annoying to Lucifer, and it’ll make him upset. Asking him how he was feeling? He had already done that.
After ten minutes, Caen finally thought of something and decided to ask Lucifer.
"What do you like to do? Do you have any hobbies? Like playing, singing, or dancing?" Caen asked, but he soon closed his mouth.
