As soon as the Commanding General reached closer to the control screen, his expressions froze. He saw a tir on the screen which only had one second left.
"Run!" He exclaid.
****
From a distant point, Lucifer observed the Commanding Ship with great interest. Within his mind, a tir relentlessly counted down towards a crucial mont. And when the tir finally reached its climax, he effortlessly snapped his fingers.
The sound of his snap accompanied the explosion within the ship as a large cloud of fire and smoke engulfed the control room, spreading relentlessly. Explosions shocked the entire Commanding Ship before the entire ship was surrounded in a cloud of fire and anarchy.
From the distance, Lucifer could also see other Generals including Ron's Grandfather. They were the ones who hadn't entered the ship. Even they looked shocked. They hadn't expected sothing like this.
The range of the explosion was so wide that it even engulfed so of the nearby ships, destroying them in the process. Lucifer wanted to stay behind and ss a lot more, but he knew that the longer he stayed here, the riskier it beca.
Because the Communication was down, the commands didn't receive the ones controlling the ship. But with the destruction of the Command Ship, the Temporary Command was shifted to another ship. As for which ship, he wasn't certain either. This could only happen when the Command Ship was completely destroyed.
The new ship had temporarily beco the mothership. In essence, everything had reset. With a new mother ship receiving the command. Although the new ship wasn't as powerful as the main ship used to be, but it had all the control now.
The new ship could be used to enact the Spatial Restriction once again. Lucifer knew that it was only a matter of ti before the Generals were going to find out which was the new command ship and seal the space.
The only reason they hadn't done that yet was because they were still shocked at the sea of flas before them. The flas had consud the remnants of the old command ship, leaving behind only flaming bits and pieces that ca crashing down.
Lucifer wasn't sure how Ron and the others were doing. Although he had attracted most of the attention towards him, there was still one ship which went after the others.
He took advantage of the opportunity when the space was still free. In a short mont, he was shrouded by spatial energy. Before long, he disappeared entirely. And in his place, another one of his Summoned Beast appeared that he had intentionally left inside the ship before leaving.
He had planned to teleport back after distracting the Star Alliance, but he didn't think so much was going to happen that was completely out of his expectations.
Lucifer's figure was replaced by a Beast. But only a few minutes later. Lucifer could've canceled the Summon to make the beast return as well, but he didn't.
Instead, he commanded the Summoned Beast to find a safe place to hide in this world. Lucifer wanted to leave a piece here in case he needed to co back.
The place switching thod with his beasts was his most versatile travel technique for long distance travel in the shortest of tis, especially since he still hadn't completely mastered the art of opening Spatial Cracks to travel.
There was one clan under the Star Alliance which specialized in Spatial Cracks. Lucifer wanted to learn from that clan as well. Unfortunately, that clan rarely involved themselves with the outside world.
They had closed themselves and even the Star Alliance Leaders were rarely able to et with them. The Star Alliance didn't try to forcefully show off their authority either since the Clan was very dangerous with their Spatial Control.
Although the clan couldn't defeat the Star Alliance, but they could still trouble the Star Alliance a lot, which made the Star Alliance let them do as they pleaded.
From every Major Clan, a General of the Star Alliance was selected. But it was just that one particular clan which despite being powerful and a part of the Star Alliance never sent any Elder to the Star Alliance.
Because of that, Lucifer wasn't able to learn from them like he learned from Ron's Grandfather about improving his control of Black Lightning. He wanted to try again after returning from the trip with Talia, but unfortunately, that also went out of his expectations.
Not only was he not able to return, but he was now the biggest enemy of the Star Alliance. Then again, he didn't find it a big loss. At least he had taken out Talia before she could get the Inheritance and beco a threat.
As for becoming the enemy of the Star Alliance, he also understood that it was just a matter of ti. The day his real identity was exposed as the last remaining mber of the Ancient Clan, the Star Alliance was going to co after him with everything they had.
Although the Star Alliance still hated him, it was nothing compared to the hate that he would've received if his real identity was exposed.
Currently, only the Star Alliance was his Enemy. But if his real identity was exposed, every single clan in the Universe which fought against the Ancient Clan in the past was going to co after his head. That included all the Secluded Clans including the clan that he wanted to learn from.
Although he was in trouble thanks to the Star Alliance, but things were still not as bad as they could've been, and he understood that all too well.
Moreover, this way, he had an additional advantage. He had made this appear like an internal conflict of the Star Alliance which secluded clans weren't going to care about. This way, he could freely destroy the Star Alliance without them getting the support of the entire universe.
That way, he could already weaken the threats to him. It was easier to fight the Star Alliance than it was to fight everyone in the world. He took it as a challenge... A challenge that he wanted to win.
