One True God - Chapter 148

Lucifer had summoned Nocturnal Phantom, and Noctural Phantom, as he was called by Lucifer, his Lord, he naturally came out.

He was now standing right in front of Lucifer, and his body…was not that small either.

He was back in full health…if one were to describe how big the dark fog that composes his body was.

Of course, Oumu was able to see this very clearly, and he was shocked.

Nocturnal Phantom is the one who took Lucifer’s full blast earlier, and his body has shrunk so small that he was not even visible anymore.

And now, his body is restored just like that.

Oumu, of course, can not believe something like this, and that was why he was shocked.

After all, even if he does not believe in it, it was still the truth that Nocturnal Phantom is right here in front of him.

And that…is enough proof that Nocturnal Phantom is indeed fine after taking such a devastating blow from Lucifer.

And that very same Nocturnal Phantom then spoke, “You called, my Lord?”

He said as if there was nothing wrong with him or Lucifer. He spoke as if what happened earlier did not even happen.

He acted…normally.

Well, it was only natural that Nocturnal Phantom would act normally.

For the Nocturnal Phantom, what happened earlier is just an everyday thing.

He does not even worry about something like that even if the process would get him in a state of near death.

After all, that was only normal for him.

That was why the Nocturnal Phantom did not even try to ask anything about what happened earlier.

However, that does not necessarily mean that it is a good thing.

The fact that the Nocturnal Phantom treats what happened earlier as if it was an everyday occurrence means that…in the past, Lucifer was angry almost every single day.

After all, that’s all that it points to. For the Nocturnal Phantom to be used to that kind of condition of Lucifer…that is definitely bad.

Imagine a Hell God getting furiously angry every single day and just destroying what is near him…what’s more, Lucifer, in the past, was at his prime.

That is just…bad…for both Lucifer and for the Hidden World.

Anyway, when the Nocturnal Phantom asked Lucifer, Lucifer was able to hear him just right.

However, since Lucifer no longer has any business in this place, it was now time to do what he intended to do by coming here.

And that was…

“Nocturnal, go possess Oumu. While I am away, you will be watching over him and make sure that he does not do anything funny.”

“Of course, you won’t only watch him but also the other two, Rouge and Raya Pazier.”

“You are to prevent them from doing something stupid, funny, or any form of betrayal.”

“And most importantly, you are to prevent them from dying.”

“Understood?”

Lucifer said those words without even stopping for a second. And when he said those words, Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu were both shocked.

Both of them didn’t expect to hear something like that from Lucifer.

For Nocturnal Phantom, he thought that he would be with Lucifer all the time since he is one of the few servants that can follow along with Lucifer without being in the public eye.

He knew how useful he would be for Lucifer now that he knows that his body is like that, and obviously, Lucifer knows that as well.

And even though Nocturnal Phantom did not know what Lucifer planned to do, it would still be best for him to follow along with Lucifer.

The advantages of having Nocturnal Phantom around would beat whatever Lucifer had in mind in having Nocturnal Phantom possess the shadow of Oumu.

That was why Nocturnal Phantom was shocked to hear Lucifer say something like this when Nocturnal Phantom is absolutely sure that his lord knows the advantages of having him around.

As for Oumu, the reason why he is shocked…is simply because of two reasons.

One is that he did not expect that Lucifer would give such a valuable servant to him.

Even though Nocturnal Phantom would just be possessing Oumu, Oumu’s life is still assured if Nocturnal Phantom is with him all the time.

What’s more, since Lucifer has ordered Nocturnal Phantom to prevent Oumu and the others from dying, this is like giving Oumu the power of Nocturnal Phantom.

Oumu is a smart guy. He can definitely take advantage of that order from Lucifer, and use Nocturnal Phantom as he likes.

He can create a situation where he would definitely die, and if something like that happens, then Nocturnal Phantom has no choice but to butt in.

Nocturnal Phantom is the servant of Lucifer who is even capable of taking a full blast from Lucifer.

Even though Lucifer is weakened right now, taking something like that is not something one underestimate.

And the second reason why he is shocked is that…he knew that Lucifer would be aware of something like this.

From what Oumu has observed, Lucifer is…observant. And he has the smarts to use whatever he would find while he is observing.

There is no way that Lucifer would not know that Oumu would be able to think of being able to take advantage of his order.

However, even though both Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu were shocked, they did not dare to say or do anything about what Lucifer said.

After all, Lucifer is their absolute ruler. Whether they like it or not, they can only do what he said.

And what Nocturnal Phantom did was to show his answer to Lucifer is he did as he was just instructed.

He possessed Oumu’s…shadow as he moved very fast. The dark fog that composes his body has disappeared into the ground and joined Oumu’s shadow on the ground.

And just like that, Nocturnal Phantom has now possessed Oumu without enduring any kind of hardship.

Of course, Oumu was surprised to see that Nocturnal Phantom was now gone from his sights.

After all, Oumu was not able to catch when Nocturnal Phantom possessed him as Nocturnal Phantom just moved very fast.

However, when he realized that Nocturnal Phantom was gone because he…has finished possessing Oumu, Oumu became calm about it and acted as if he knew what just happened.

Anyway, when Nocturnal Phantom finally possessed Oumu, Lucifer then spoke again.

“Good. You are to hold this place together with Raya Pazier and Rouge with the support of Nocturnal Phantom.”

Lucifer said those words while looking at Oumu.

Of course, when Oumu heard those words, he had a thought in his head.

‘Why do we need to hold this place? Is he going out somewhere away from here?’

Right, Oumu thought of this.

Well, this was the only possible conclusion that he could have come up with after hearing something like that.

There’s also another possible scenario where Lucifer would take seclude and try to better his health, but that’s just not possible for Oumu.

He thought that Lucifer is the kind of guy who would not be able to sit in a place for a very long amount of time.

Well, he could not be more wrong about that one since Lucifer was able to sit on a chair for thousands of years while reading books.

Anyway, since Oumu was…curious about the reason why they had to hold this place, Oumu’s habit kicked in and asked Lucifer.

“Are you going to go somewhere?” Oumu said.

And when Lucifer heard that, he spoke without any hesitation.

“That’s right. I am going to go to the Luciferian Empire for the reason of killing that Kars so that I wouldn’t have any problems left in the future when it comes to the Warmester Denoble House.”

Lucifer said those words.

Well, what he said was the truth. He was really going to go there for the purpose of killing Kars.

And as soon as Oumu heard those words, he became shocked once more.

Well, it was not because he learned that Lucifer would be going to the Luciferian Empire to kill his former lord and master.

But he was shocked because he learned that Lucifer…would be going to the Luciferian Empire.

And just what is the Luciferian Empire?

It is the empire that worships Lucifer as its only god.

And for Lucifer to go back to that place…this must mean something.

This must mean that Lucifer is about to go and get back his throne.

At least, that’s what Oumu thought about this situation.

And even though Lucifer has not confirmed it or anything of the sort, it got…Oumu kind of excited for what was to come.

A Hell God that was reported to have been dead a long time ago…was now about to resurface in the world…

What kind of future will the Hidden World have when Lucifer returns?

Oumu was excited about this.

His blood was boiling, and his inner demon was rejoicing.

That was why Oumu spoke. He spoke as he bowed his head.

“I shall do what you asked of me.” He said those words as a confirmation that he received Lucifer’s order.

Lucifer was weirded out when he heard those words since Oumu did not really act this way, but…Lucifer just tapped the floor once, and disappeared from this place.
