Kellian looked up, gazing at the darkness in the sky.
"So that is really a spaceship. The world is really bigger than I thought. Now Lucifer is a prisoner of another world," Veracity muttered. The massive ship started moving and soon disappeared.
"Do you think he can really return? The way that woman talked, it appeared as if things were really serious. She called him a criminal as well. I worry for Lucifer," Kane chid in. "Everything was going so well, and suddenly this…"
"I have faith in him. He will return... He will definitely return!" Kellian declared confidently.
"He will certainly return. Let's get back to work." Kellian agreed. "We need to co up with a better story to make sure no one at the base finds out what happened here."
"It's a good thing that Veracity is with us. Hiding the truth from her would've been impossible. Now she's also with us, so we don't need to worry about getting caught. I think we should tell them that Lucifer left to find sothing which might be anywhere in this world, so he'll take so ti before he can return." Kane suggested.
"They will be suspicious. They'll ask how he can leave without informing them." Yaliza chid in. "We need sothing better."
"Didn't Lucifer leave the last ti exactly like this? He just took off for weeks and didn't return until recently. I doubt they'll think too much about this story. Let's just keep it simple. I think we should go with this story. That's Lucifer's personality after all, just leaving when he feels like it after all."
"You're right. That's his personality." Kellian agreed. "We can use that trick. It's better than making a complicated story. It'll keep them busy for a few weeks. And if Lucifer didn't return within a few weeks, we can say that he already left the world as he was planning to do."
"Yeah. I think we should go with this as well. I will tell Zale and Clarisse. I'll make sure I can convince them," Salazar took the lead. "You all can handle the rest."

On earth, people were deciding on what lies to tell to cover for Lucifer's disappearance; anwhile, on the ship, Lucifer was already tossed inside a cell. Since the Ship wasn't under Joana, his treatnt this ti was much different, especially since he was a Criminal of the High Council this ti.
Even Maya couldn't do anything about this treatnt. She was only tasked with bringing him here. From this point onwards, Lucifer's custody was with the captain of this ship.
A middle-aged man sat on the Captain's Seat, gazing at the feed on his screen, which showed Lucifer.
"Are you sure this is the guy?" he asked Maya.
"Yes, he is Lucifer." Maya nodded.
"Honestly, he doesn't look any special to . What can I do?" Captain Mak rolled his eyes. "He looks so weak. The people from his supposed Bloodline... I read stories about them."
He continued, "According to stories, they were much different. It was said that they could instill fear in the heart of anyone with just one glance. This man... If he's really from that species, I guess that species really wasn't that special."
"Captain, with all due respect, do you think you'll be able to repeat that sa statent before the High Council? There's a reason the High Council is treating this case with such seriousness. We thought Baltics were extinct, but that isn't the case. Baltics made an appearance. And he is supposedly the one who destroyed them," Maya explained.
"Baltics... I heard they were really strong as well. This guy must've defeated a weakling amongst them. Every strong clan has one or two weaklings," Mak responded.
"Three Thousand four hundred Seventy Five..." Maya let out.
"What?" The man asked, frowning. "What do you an? What is that number?"
"That's the number of Baltics he has killed. That's what I was investigating as well. He has killed thousands of Baltics alone. Moreover, not ordinary Baltics, I sensed a remnant Royal presence as well. That could only an there was a Baltic who possessed the Royal Bloodline. No matter how weak, if he was the current King of Baltics, he couldn't be too weak, can he?"
"Why were you investigating it though? Weren't you sent there to bring Lucifer back only?" Mak asked. He only had a brief knowledge of the situation. He had just returned from a mission when he was told that he needed to pick a Criminal from a distant Galaxy and escort him back. Other than knowing Lucifer's na and a few things about him, he didn't know much about Maya's mission.
"It's because we sensed both presences... Our systems were keeping an eye on the energy signatures of the earth when we sensed two very powerful auras. One belonged to the Baltics while the other aura matched with their aura..."
"The High Council believes that Lucifer killed them intentionally."
"Why?"
"The Destruction of Baltics... Their ho world was destroyed, and it completely disappeared. The Star Alliance went there to investigate and found two auras there..."
"One was the aura of the Baltics, and the other was the Aura of them..."
"As you know, a long long ti ago, there was one particular species which ruled over the entire world... They were the Kings of the universe. They were the strongest. It was until one day when all the other species revolted against them."
"Literally every species joined hands and attacked them. To fight one clan, it took the force of the entire universe, when there were only twenty mbers in that clan..."
"Billions of Warriors fought those twenty, and over ninety percent of them had died in the war. Fortunately, the twenty Clan mbers of that species were also killed. That's when the world thought that it was the end... It was the end of them."
"However, when Baltics were destroyed, the High Council discovered that sa old aura again... The aura of that species..."
"Revenge."
"Any reason for them to specifically attack Baltics? When the entire universe had fought them, why would they only attack Baltics?"
"It's not just them... It's not just the Baltics who were destroyed... There were three species that started the revolt. They were the ones who brought everyone together against them..."
"All three of those species were completely wiped around the sa ti. And we believe it's the work of theirs."
"The High Council thinks that the species this universe had completely wiped hadn't completely gone extinct. One of them still lives... And he is the one who destroyed Baltics and the other two. The High Council thinks that as long as that person lives, the world isn't safe."
"And in that scene enters Lucifer... He destroyed remnants of the Baltics using the sa strength... The High Council thinks that Lucifer is one of them... The ones who escaped the assault."
