Chapter 894: Choice

"That's the choice I expected from someone as smart as you. This is also the best option and also much better than making an enemy of the Star Alliance. Please wear these rings, and we can continue the proceedings of transfer. I'll tell you the rest on the way."

Maya gave two rings to Lucifer. Seeing the rings, he couldn't help but smile. Last time, he was only given one ring, which prevented him from attacking anyone on the ship. But this time, there was one more ring along with that. He remembered seeing the second ring before as well. That ring was on the finger of Xaen.

From what he was told at that time, this ring was something much worse than the other ring as it blocked all abilities of a person. Unlike the limiter, which only limited active abilities, this ring also limited passive abilities. That meant his healing wasn't going to work if he wore the ring, let alone his offensive skills.

He was going to be no more than an ordinary human as he was taken to the prison on the Star Alliance base.

"Lucifer, just say the word. You don't have to surrender. We are ready to fight whoever is the enemy. No one will take you from here!" Salazar declared grimly. He wasn't going to let anyone hurt Lucifer. After a long time, they had received their happy ending. The world was at peace, everyone they had lost was back, and people were happy. He wasn't going to let things get bad again.

Lucifer raised his hand, gesturing everyone to step back. "Don't worry about me. I'm just going to give testimony in the upper court. Nothing will happen to me. I will be back before you know it. And then we can continue what we were doing."

"Until I return, keep my family safe. I'm giving the command of Uprising to Kellian. In my absence, he will be the highest ranked. His decision will be my decision, so don't trouble him much." Lucifer wore the first ring, letting out a deep breath. He had never thought he would willingly surrender himself in a situation where his life could be in danger, but there he was, doing exactly the same.

Fortunately, he was taking a calculated risk with this, so he didn't feel too worried. There was a small chance that he was going to be killed, but if the future was anything to go by, he believed he was going to come out safe, and preferably with the information about his Bloodline.

The second ring was the biggest problem, but if he needed an answer, he needed to wear that as well. And once he wore the ring, he couldn't take it off. Only a Star Alliance member could take off his ring. Last time it was Joana who did it. He didn't know who was going to be the one taking it off this time.

After a deep breath, he wore the second ring as well. As soon as he wore the ring, he felt extreme weakness. He stumbled on his feet, almost falling. Fortunately, Kellian supported him, preventing his fall.

"It's nothing to worry about. That's the ring working. The start is always like this. Within a few seconds, you'll feel fine." Maya calmly stated as she signed.

She took a step back and folded her arms as she started waiting for the side effects to be over. She knew these people weren't going to let her take Lucifer until he said he was fine and wanted to go, so she just waited.

In the meantime, she had already informed the base that she was ready for the return transfer.

The Star Alliance received the message and assigned a ship to come to this area. The ship wasn't Joana's ship though. The Star Alliance had sent a different Captain to bring Lucifer back.

Just as Maya had said, the side effects of the ring only lasted for a few seconds. After a few seconds, Lucifer was once again stable. His head had stopped spinning. He was still feeling weak, but it wasn't hard for him to stand. His powers were restricted though.

"The Ship will be here soon. Say your goodbyes," Maya told Lucifer as she gazed up at the sky.

Lucifer gazed back at Kellian. "I only have a few seconds, so I'll be brief. Don't worry about a thing. The Star Alliance won't harm me. I'll be coming back. Until then, don't let my parents and anyone else know what happened to me or where I went. Just make up any story about me going on a mission. You understand?"

"You don't want them to worry, do you?" Kellian asked.

Lucifer smiled in response. "I don't want anyone to worry for no reason. As I said, nothing will happen to me. Just keep my family busy. I'll handle the rest."

"I'm also telling the same thing to you all." He commanded everyone else. "No one must find out what happened here. If you tell anyone and I find out, the day I return, I might not be so kind. So treat this secret like your lives depend on it. Alright?"

Kellian and everyone else nodded. They could only believe Lucifer's words. There was no other option. If even Lucifer wasn't willing to fight, that could only mean that the enemy was very strong. However, he also wasn't the one who would willingly accept death just because the enemy was strong.

They knew Lucifer was someone to fight till the last breath, even if the enemy was as strong as Licorice when he had no hopes of victory. He still didn't give in and fought. Since he was giving him in here, that could only mean he was really confident that his life wasn't in danger, and they decided to trust it.

Seeing everyone agree, Lucifer smiled in satisfaction. He could now leave with complete leave of mind.

Just as he finished, the sky also started getting dark. A portal had opened in the middle of space, and a massive ship came out of it, covering the entire sun behind it.

"Looks like our ride is here." Maya extended her hand toward Lucifer.

"Joana arrived." Lucifer held the hand of Maya after getting close to her.

"It's not Joana. Since Captain Joana was considered to be close to you after he defended you against this decision, he had been removed from this assignment. It's another captain that came to bring us back," Maya explained.

A beautiful white light appeared around Lucifer and Maya. Kellian and the others only saw Lucifer's calm face before his figure disappeared...
