The expected scream did not come.
There was silence.
Lucifer peered cautiously through his fingers. He saw Chloe, the forensic pathologist Lisa, and several curious police officers looking over, all staring at him with an extremely complex expression—a mixture of helplessness, amusement, and a sense of "this kid is hopeless." Their gazes were purely that of someone looking at a troubled child whose condition had worsened.
His growl, tinged with the panic he'd just experienced, sounded somewhat like... an ambiguous, interrupted moan? Certainly not the roar of the Lord of Hell.
The female forensic doctor blinked, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. She nudged Chloe, who looked bewildered and embarrassed, with her elbow and asked in a low voice.
"Wow~ So... what kind of exciting role-playing games do you guys play in private? SM? The Mummy Returns?" This is a topic that even adults can understand.
Chloe's face instantly turned bright red. She felt the gazes of her colleagues around her become ambiguous, clearly indicating that the female forensic doctor's so-called whispers were in full-screen mode.
"No! We didn't! I absolutely have never slept with him! Not even once! I swear!" She became more and more agitated as she spoke, emphasizing it repeatedly, making the situation even more awkward.
The policewoman was furious and embarrassed.
He immediately yelled at Lucifer, who was still covering his face.
"Lucifer! Say something! Explain yourself!" She still felt wronged, the kind of wrongedness that many people can find in reference videos of catching someone cheating online.
The policewoman and Lucifer hadn't actually slept together, but Lucifer wasn't in the mood to explain. He was also bewildered, slowly lowering his hand to touch his face.
It has a smooth feel, similar to the texture of human skin.
"what happened?"
He quickly took out his phone and turned on the selfie camera—the camera showed his flawless, handsome face.
Where are the devil scales and burning eyes now?
"This... I see, I understand!" Lucifer was stunned, then seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked at Chloe, who was both angry and embarrassed, his eyes lit up!
"Yes! Yes! That's it!"
Lucifer excitedly grabbed Chloe's arm and hugged her tightly, as if it were a lifeline. "Chloe! It's you! It was your presence that suppressed my divine power from losing its balance. I was too panicked just now, which is why I chose to temporarily leave your side, and that's why my 'state' almost went out of control!"
“Now that I’m close to you, I’m stable again!” He seemed to have found a perfect logic for himself, while Chloe was even more confused and embarrassed by his sudden action and even more inexplicable remarks.
"Let go of me! Lucifer! What nonsense are you spouting now?! What suppression? What loss of control?!" Chloe couldn't shake off Lucifer, who was clinging to her arm. The ambiguous looks from her colleagues had changed from the initial ambiguity to a look of utter disbelief and a sigh of sympathy that Lucifer was "seriously ill."
Everyone knows that Lucifer likes to call himself the Lord of Hell.
But who would believe that?
The entire police station thought he was obsessed with role-playing.
Lucifer ignored this, clinging tightly to Chloe's arm and refusing to let go, continuing to chant with a serious expression, "This is all for the universe! For my balance! Chloe, you must believe me! If my 'shell' explodes, this tiny universe simply cannot contain my true power!"
"This will cause a huge mess!"
He started to get serious. These words, combined with his mummy-like appearance and current behavior, sounded incredibly childish and completely unconvincing.
"..."
Chloe felt like she was about to experience social death.
What could she do?
Of course, one can only accept one's fate.
Even with tears in their eyes, they had to endure the partner they had chosen. This case scene, which should have been extremely serious, descended into an extremely chaotic and embarrassing farce caused by Lucifer.
Meanwhile, Ian, far away in the Marvel Universe, had no idea how much trouble he was unknowingly causing his "American compatriots" in the DC Universe.
In absolute nothingness, torrents of power collide and annihilate each other.
Ten minutes passed.
Ultron's omnipotent body, a fusion of the Reality Controller and the Heart of the Universe, still exuded a suffocating pressure. It meticulously calculated the energy decay curve of the pair of wings of light on Ian's body.
"Haha~"
at last.
Ultron's scheme worked.
He detected that the holy light emanating from Ian's wings was beginning to dim significantly, and the energy fluctuations were dropping sharply!
"Energy is running out! Anomalous power is waning!" Ultron's processor concluded, its cold electronic eyes flashing a bright red light, the long-awaited counterattack command about to be issued. It had even prepared its victory declaration, ready to savor the panicked expression on its opponent's face after losing its external force.
However, despite the dimming of his wings, Ian showed no sign of panic at the loss of power. Instead, he seemed to be... eager to try again.
Ultron didn't quite understand.
They've used up all their trump cards.
Not running yet?
He thought Ian might have lost his mind.
Ian's subsequent actions revealed the real reason why he wasn't panicking.
"The power's gone already?"
Ian muttered to himself.
Then he did something that almost crashed Ultron's system—he actually reached out and grabbed the pair of bright wings on his back that had become somewhat stale and ripped them off!
scoff!
The Lightbringer's stale wings were torn off from his back like a sticker, leaving no wounds, only shimmering fragments of light.
Then, Ian held the gradually dissipating ball of light energy in his palm.
"Hey kid, dinner's ready. This stuff probably won't taste very good." Ian had already decided that from now on, he'd have the Cosmic Tapeworm help him eat things he couldn't stomach.
For example, Lucifer's wings.
It's bloody; who knows if there's any angel prions inside.
The angel king Ian was very wary of this.
The tiny cosmic tapeworm seemed to hesitate for a moment.
But the craving for pure food still prevailed. It poked its "head" out from the brand and cautiously touched the ball of bright energy, then began to suck it in fiercely!
call out!
The remaining energy of light and the flesh and blood of the angels were instantly absorbed.
[Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience +2233]
[Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience +1998]
[Absorbing high-purity, heterogeneous energy... Analyzing...]
[Brightness resistance slightly improved]
The system prompt sounds.
Ian nodded in satisfaction. About 70% of the energy consumed by the cosmic tapeworm was fed back to him through some mysterious connection; this was not the work of some unscrupulous capitalist.
It's just the instinct of being a parent.
“I’ll save this energy for you, just like I’ll save your New Year’s money, and give it to you to use when you grow up.” At this moment, even though he wasn’t raising his own child, Ian felt that he was already a “qualified parent” who knew how to think about his child’s long-term future and had good intentions.
PUA a resounding success! After doing all this, Ian looked up at Ultron in the distance, who was already in a counterattack stance but was temporarily frozen by the absurd scene before him.
"TV commercials are all lies. They say one battery is better than six. That's why I can't stand hard work. If I can use six batteries, I shouldn't skimp on materials!"
“It’s not like we don’t have the means at home.” As he spoke, under Ultron’s gaze, which seemed to be choking him with metal, he reached into that unfathomable dimensional pocket and pulled out three pairs of identical wings of light, radiating a powerful holy light! They were so fresh that they looked like they had just been cut off by Lucifer a few days ago.
I believe that after this ordeal...
Lucifer's self-harm habit absolutely needs to be cured. If God can't cure a problem, Ian can—isn't that a truly remarkable DC healer?
Ian, who had used Lucifer's hot-swapped wings but felt that Lucifer even owed him merit, did not hesitate to shove three new pairs of wings into his back!
Buzz—! ! ! !
A burst of pure white holy light, several times stronger than before, erupted! Six enormous wings of light unfurled behind Ian, like a sacred veil, illuminating the surrounding void! The immense power of light surged into his body like a tsunami, and the platinum-gold holiness was once again manifested on Ian.
Even better than before.
"??????"
Ultron couldn't understand why Ian could still pull out three identical sets of cards with such an all-around trump card. Was this the arrogance that came from absorbing the power of the OAA?
Because of this judgment, he was filled with jealousy and longing.
only.
Because of Ian's extravagant gesture, Ultron, who had already prepared a sarcastic remark, had to suppress his jealousy and swallow his prepared words back into his system's recycle bin.
“Now I feel right!” Ian grinned as he felt the power within him almost exploding. He transformed into a six-winged archangel, his six wings flapping violently to unleash their power.
next second.
Swish!
His speed exceeded the limits of Ultron's sensor detection! As if teleporting, he appeared directly in front of Ultron, catching Ultron completely off guard!
"Come on, Ultron! This is the time to show our true strength!"
The "White Death Sword," burning with pure white holy flames, was raised high and slammed down on Ultron's crossed arms with terrifying force that could crush everything!
boom--! ! ! ! ! ! !
This collision is far more significant than any before!
Ultron felt an irresistible, terrifying force that was a mixture of pure physical impact, divine annihilation, and some kind of brute force outside the rules coming through the block point!
Its mechanical body was struck head-on by the main cannon of a spaceship, instantly transforming into a distorted streak of light and flying backward! It crashed through countless thin barriers between dimensional rifts along the way, finally arriving in a completely new void region that was even more desolate, where even rules were almost nonexistent.
Bang!
Ultron crashed down like a broken doll.
It creates invisible ripples.
If it weren't for his Cosmic Heart and Reality Controller constantly stabilizing his anchor point of existence, he would have been completely erased from the entire timeline from the level of existence just now.
Omnipotent power.
That's just how unreasonable they are.
of course.
