Chapter 889: Because I saw…



Chapter 889: Because I saw…

“Knock knock!” Lucifer called out, not expecting the door to open. However, he had already prepared for that.

A frightening lightning bolt came from the sky, falling straight towards the opening on the ground.

Tuck~

As soon as Lucifer called forth the lightning bolt, the door of the Base made a noise as it started opening.

Lucifer waved his hand, changing the direction of the bolt. The bolt turned mid-air, landing on the ground in the distance.

Wherever the Bolt felt, a massive hole was left in the ground due to the sheer power of the bolt.

The metallic door on the top of the base opened completely. Lucifer signaled the pilot to land in the base as he jumped down.

He was kind of expecting Predictor to be present at the landing strip, but at the same time, he knew that there was a good chance he wasn’t going to be there.

As expected, the strip was perfectly empty. There was not a single person there. The chopper landed behind Lucifer. The group of six stepped out of the helicopter.

“Yaliza, protect Veracity and Kane. Those two aren’t strong. Stay here with them and make sure no one escapes.” Lucifer commanded Yaliza before shifting to Kellian. “Take the rest to the command center. There’s a good chance the Predictor will be there.”

“What about you?” Kellian asked.

“I’m going to another place he might be. If I find him, I’ll bring him back here. Don’t worry.” Smiling, Lucifer departed alone, giving a different assignment to the rest.

He walked all alone through the all too familiar hallways. The last time he was here, he was led by someone since he didn’t know where that place was, but it was easy a second time. His memory was very good.

He didn’t even seem to be in any hurry as he lazily advanced ahead with his hands in his pocket. He had left Yaliza at the entrance, but he was sure that no one was going to attempt an escape. He knew Predictor really well.

That’s why he had selected this place to search… The place where he had met Predictor for the first time.

Lucifer stopped before a metallic door. His fingers danced through his hair as he adjusted his hair which was messy because of the helicopter wind.

Knock knock

He once again knocked on the door like a proper gentleman.

“Do you even need permission to come inside?” A calm voice came from the inside.

“I don’t need to knock when it’s an enemy I’m meeting or a friend and team member,” Lucifer answered.

“But Neither are you an enemy of mine nor are you a friend anymore. Since I’m meeting a complete stranger, it’s only fair I keep things proper,” he added before he pushed the door open.

He took his first step inside the dark room, noticing a man who was lying on the bed. The man had dark cloth wrapped around his eyes. Everything was exactly as the first time the two had met. The only difference was that Lucifer didn’t need special glasses to see through darkness this time. Also, the equations between the two were different now.

“Why don’t you call me what you think I am? A traitor. Isn’t that what you think?” Predictor lazily stated without getting up.

“So you think you are a traitor?” Lucifer asked, waving his hand lazily. A chair came out of his shadow, landing on the ground.

He lazily sat on the chair, keeping his focus on Predictor.

“Not at all. In your eyes, I’m the traitor because you saw what happened in the past. For you, I betrayed you first. But in my eyes, you all are the traitors because I saw what happened in the future. You betrayed me first,” Predictor answered, letting out a sigh.

“Why didn’t you run?” Lucifer asked. “You knew I was coming. Even though I know why you’re still here, I want to ask from you. Why didn’t you run? What’s outside which you’re more scared of than death?”

“I didn’t run… Because I now know the future can’t be changed. There are some absolute points that can’t be changed, especially the ones that directly involve you. I thought if you died, my future would change After I saw you killing me. I did everything to make that happen!”

“Not only that, but I also destroyed the entire Uprising. Most had died. There was no way for them to return. There was no way for the future to become true. I had succeeded… But I guess I was too naive. I had forgotten something really crucial.”

“Just when I thought everything was over, you happened. You returned from the dead and destroyed everything. Not only did you kill all enemies, but you brought people from death. Someone who can even reverse death, which is absolute; how can I fight him?” Predictor responded.

“I realized that whenever a future involves you directly, it can’t be changed. The universe will come upside down, but you…” He let out a deep sigh. “I really was too naive.”

“You know, I just happened to be lucky with that one,” Lucifer replied, sighing. “Even I thought I wouldn’t come out of it alive. So technically, you have changed the future to some extent.”

“So it’s not entirely false that the future can’t be changed. But still, I can’t overlook what you did, even though you might’ve had your own reasons. It’s because of you that everyone went through such pain. They literally died because you didn’t want to.”

“But you forgot one thing,” Lucifer let out, sighing. “Even if you saw me killing you in the future, why would I do that without reason? You made that reason. You know what would’ve been an easier way to change this future?”

“Not betraying us! If you had followed that, this day wouldn’t have arrived. Aren’t I right?” Lucifer asked, frowning.

“It’s not that the future can’t be changed. That’s just that you think. You just need to know how to change and what to change. This isn’t a future that couldn’t be changed. This is something you made yourself! You made this future. And I really hoped this day wouldn’t arrive. I really thought you were special…”

Lucifer stood up lazily. The chair behind him disappeared, swallowed by the dark ground. “Let’s get going. Since you already made this future, it’s time we finish it.”

Predictor stood up. He didn’t resist at all as he started following Lucifer out of the room.

“You are right about everything you said, but the reason I said the future about you couldn’t be changed is because I saw… I saw what was meant to happen in the distant future… I saw the truth.”
