Chapter 2020: The Past is Like the Morning Star (Part 2)

Next, Schiller learned about the glorious deeds of the Soviet man who took over his body, amidst Lucifer's resentful narration.

The cause of the incident was this: in a certain universe, the Soviet Union disintegrated in the winter of 1991, following the historical trajectory of most universes, and a certain officer, who might also have been a scientist with military rank, committed suicide on the day of the disintegration.

But very coincidentally, at the same time, Lucifer, who found that he could not get rid of the angel destiny at all, intended to break the jar and smash it, directly giving up on himself and letting his consciousness dissipate completely.

This meant that his beautiful memories with God also dissipated together, and God could not accept this.

Perhaps for some reason, he could not directly erase this destiny, so he sent the soul of a certain child who had a destiny entanglement with Lucifer to an extremely distant alien world.

The body that lost its soul was controlled by no one and would inevitably die. Lucifer was shocked by God's move at that time, and he didn't know whether this child had parents, or whether the child's parents could accept his death.

So he took some remedial measures, randomly pulled over the soul of an unlucky guy and stuffed it into the body, and this soul was exactly that of the Soviet man who committed suicide.

Thus, the most terrible thing happened. A soul that might have carried the heaviest resentment in the world controlled this body.

According to Lucifer's statement, the super-abilities of super-powered people are actually at the dual levels of soul and body. That is to say, the soul of the departed Schiller took away part of the power, but part of the power remained in the shell.

So Lucifer didn't wait for the prayer of gratitude from this unlucky guy at all. On the contrary, he waited for two heavy punches from the fighting nation with heavy resentment.

Under Schiller's questioning, Lucifer still reluctantly revealed the specific scene at that time. The details were about the same as a weasel entering a chicken coop. Anyway, it was a crackling sound, and then feathers flew everywhere.

Lucifer certainly couldn't lose to a human child, but he was under a certain emotional impact at the time and wasn't mentally prepared, and was hard-plucked of a feather by the original Schiller.

At that time, the original Schiller indeed had no purpose. He just attacked all creatures in front of him equally with full resentment, and followed his instincts to achieve maximum lethality.

And just as Lucifer said, this was just the beginning.

Schiller speculated that the universe where the original Schiller was should be similar to the universe where Schiller was in his previous life, without any gods or ghosts, belonging to a universe with a low power level.

So his first reaction after seeing a real angel in this universe was that he wanted to know how these super-powered creatures appeared.

And for Lucifer, it was very unfortunate that this child with heavy curiosity grasped his lifeline, and he was even more unbelieving in God than him.

Therefore, all flowery words couldn't cheat the feather back, and the original Schiller relied on this point to frequently harass Lucifer, asking him all kinds of questions, basically understanding Heaven, Hell, and the human occult world seven or eight out of ten.

Lucifer said very helplessly, "I originally thought these were just some harmless curiosity, and I didn't need to lie, so I told him everything, including information about many mysterious existences that humans couldn't understand at all."

"But I didn't expect that this was the root of all disasters."

Schiller only had one thought when hearing this—are there still masters?

"That's right, this is also just the beginning." Lucifer said with a complicated expression.

At this time, Schiller suddenly remembered that the original Schiller once said in his message, and the facts also proved, that he formed a magic department in the KGB.

Then it seemed that this was what he did after his rebirth. With the information provided by Lucifer, was there any occult intelligence work he couldn't handle? No wonder he could rise to the top and become the general person in charge of a department.

"During this period, I have actually been paying attention to him." Lucifer continued, "I won't always provide him with information for free, so we have maintained a stable deal."

"The general mode is that I provide him with information, and he finds fun for me to watch all over the world. My interest in the human world basically comes from his inspiration."

"And then?" Schiller asked with great interest. He understood that if it were just like this, Lucifer wouldn't say this was just the beginning.

"I thought he explored the mysteries of magic and obtained information from me just for promotion." Lucifer spread his hands and said helplessly, "He has always performed like this."

"At that time, I didn't understand at all. I thought what he said about making up for the regrets of the past was making up for the regret that he didn't achieve success in his previous life and ended up with a good ending."

Schiller already understood what was going on. Sure enough, Lucifer paused heavily and said, "But the regret he wanted to make up for was still his country."

"Later I gradually noticed this, but it was already too late at that time." Lucifer shook his head and said.

"What's going on?" Schiller took a sip of wine and leaned forward to listen carefully.

"Remember I told you that I told him information about many mysterious existences that humans couldn't understand at all?"

Schiller nodded.

"He used my feather as a guarantee to borrow a large sum of money from all those mysterious existences. By the time I found out, he had plucked all the fat sheep."

Lucifer's tone began to approach collapse again.

"You don't know how much energy that is, enough for him to rebuild a heavenly kingdom on earth, but do you know what he used this energy for?"

Schiller widened his eyes slightly again. Wasn't it used to save the Soviet Union? How come there was a reversal in this matter?

"He went to Cat Getan." Lucifer said with hollow eyes.

"His shell is indeed very powerful, and his will is also very firm, but human power is sometimes exhausted, and the human body simply cannot contain so much energy."

Lucifer gritted his teeth and said, "But he happened to be a magic genius, and he developed a method to compress energy more efficiently, compressing all the terrifying energy he borrowed into his body."

"But even so, there is always a day when it approaches being out of control. Perhaps he was just to let it go out of control, so that when that day came, he could take this big bomb that was about to explode to Cat Getan."

"Why did he do this?" Schiller asked sincerely, because he was really a little puzzled.

Schiller speculated before that it might be because the original Schiller didn't accumulate enough power to save the Soviet Union, so he left the power to him so that he could continue his unfinished cause.

Or the original Schiller realized that the Soviet Union at that time was not worth saving, so he gave up actively and left the power to Schiller, letting him rebuild a great cause from scratch.

But according to Lucifer, this power was more than enough to resurrect the Soviet Union thousands of times, and it could even rebuild a heavenly kingdom on earth. Even if it couldn't build a new universe, it could at least build a simple universe similar to Battleworld. At that time, wouldn't it be whatever he wanted to achieve?

Then why did he give up?

After Schiller raised his question, Lucifer sighed and said, "I think this matter is actually my fault. I shouldn't have said that extra sentence."

Schiller continued to lean forward. He was now really very curious about what could make a firm warrior give up his plan at the last moment.

"I said before that I chatted with him about information that many humans couldn't understand at all, including some things that only archangels and God knew. That's right, it's also things you know."

"There are some rules in this world that cannot be changed, such as Batman, who is the anchor of the entire universe, and Cat Getan, which is the most important stage. They are impossible to be saved."

"Perhaps you have heard the legend of the Curse of Extreme Evil, which is the name of the ancient archmage for the source of evil. It is their explanation for this kind of unchangeable world rule."

"After he came into contact with the magic world, he also heard about this so-called Curse of Extreme Evil from the magic world, so he came to ask me, and I gave him an explanation as much as I could."

"I could only tell him that the world rules are like this, and even I and God have things that cannot be changed."

Lucifer's expression fell, and he even became somewhat sad. He took a deep breath and said, "He asked me a question—'Is it that you cannot change it, or that you don't want to change it?'."

"We all know the answer to this question, don't we? Just like my destiny." Lucifer said, the airflow of his speech squeezed out from between his teeth, making him sound even weak.

"How could the omnipotent God of countless universes have things that cannot be changed? Is it that it cannot be changed or that it is not wanted to be changed?"

"At this moment, I realized how disappointed I was with God, and how disappointed he was with me."

"He went to Cat Getan. He went to the source of the Curse of Extreme Evil."

Lucifer took a deep breath and said.

"He detonated the energy in his body. It was an extremely powerful energy that could destroy the universe when it exploded completely, but he chose to erase those things that could not be changed."

"But isn't that unchangeable?"

"Yes, but it can exist in another form." Lucifer looked at Schiller and said, "Haven't you already found that egg in Batman's body?"

Schiller froze for a moment, and finally realized.

He had thought before why the Batman Who Laughs in this universe existed in the form of an egg in Bruce's body, why the Doomsday in this universe was an egg, and why these famous disgusting monsters that couldn't be killed became harmless.

"They were all sealed."

Lucifer looked at Schiller with moist eyes and said.

"When I arrived, he only left one last sentence—'I can allow places in this world that have not yet been liberated, but I will never allow places in this world that cannot be liberated'." ===== CHAPTER 2021 =====
