Lucifer decided to start with all his assignments. One of the many advantages of being a powerful Demon King, he cuts himself lightly and creates five clones of himself.
"Clones 1 and 2," he said pointing at two clones. "You two will research how to animate and everything about nuclear weapons," he commanded.
The two clones he pointed at nodded and went to do that. He points at two other clones. "You two will create a 3-D model of the tectonic bomb Augustus disarmed," he said.
When it came to the final clone, he said, "We are going to do the remaining two assignments."
Lucifer didn't leave the study room that night, and this worried the servants a bit. However, they didn't question it. This is the same way His Highness, Augustus, behaved before Lucifer came, so they just assumed that Lucifer was like that.
While doing his assignments, Lucifer soon came across a problem. There wasn't enough equipment to do the amount of work he had intended to do.
He only had one holopad, and four clones were using the holopad. What is he to do now?
Phoenix's soul power was weapon creation. Which is a great ability, but nothing is stopping him from enhancing this ability into something more.
He came up with a solution to enhance Phoenix's ability. Normally to obtain a soul power, you must concentrate on a single need, it was rare for people to obtain a soul power in the past, he isn't sure about now, though, since humans are a lot more focused on what they want.
He knows those who have abilities and those that do not. Roger and Rosemarie both have abilities, he doesn't know what they are, but he knows they do. It is possible to learn how to use a soul power, but it is a bit difficult and the wrong step could lead to mistakenly injuring your soul.
It is even worse if you want to enhance your soul. The perfect condition for enhancing your soul power is giving up on everything that makes a being human like a heart or by giving up on earthly attachments and becoming a godlike being.
He had given up his earthly attachments once in the past, which he regretted doing, and he has removed his heart plenty of times.
He didn't remove the heart of this body.
Giving up his earthly attachments would mean that, Rosetta, Roger, Rosemarie, Hiro, and finally Augustus would no longer exist to him, he doesn't wish to forget them. So removing his heart is the best thing to do, for now.
He raises his hand and aims for his heart and pierces through, grabbing the beating heart and destroying it.
He might be doing all of this for a stupid reason but might need to do this eventually, and he doesn't want this to happen in the middle of fighting a powerful opponent, like the first time it happened.
His mind got a bit clouded by the negativity of reminiscing his past. He laughs a bit as he healed himself. "I wish the first time my heart was ripped out was as nice as this," he said.
'And the soul power should be enhanced in three, two, one...'
The entire house felt a great amount of pressure and every one of them fell on their knees, unable to get back up.
This pressure was felt by the whole planet. And when it ended, it caused a lot of panic around the planet.
The men of the main military base on the planet, which is based about a hundred miles off the coast of the Cy Ocean, and about the size of a small country. They received reports from around the world of a feeling of sudden pressure that lasted a little over thirty minutes.
This could not be caused by any form of technology that they don't know of. It could only mean that it was caused by someone's ability.
They had to find this person before they could do any more damage.
Lucifer wasn't fully aware of the cause of what he had done. What he was aware of was that he had successfully enhanced Phoenix's power.
But what would it be? He didn't fully utilize Phoenix's power before he decided to enhance it. This might affect the result though.
He turned to his clones who were just standing and waiting for his commands. He raised his hand and the clones immediately turned to blood, falling to the ground.
He heard a knock. "Young Master Phoenix, are you alright?" he heard one of the servants at the other end of the door.
Everywhere is covered in his blood including himself and his shirt is ripped as well. "I'm fine!" he replies using a cleaning and reparation spell to clean the room, himself, and to repair his shirt.
He opens the door to see a blonde woman, beside her is a black-haired man, they both look worried about him.
"Young Master, you look incredibly pale," the blonde servant, whose name is Em, said in worry. She touched his forehead, and it was not very warm.
"You must be tired from working," Em said in pity, as she dragged Lucifer out of the study room.
'Who is this woman?' Lucifer thought as he was getting dragged by her. To be honest, he's never spoken to any of the servants in this house ever since the day they heard him scream when he first went to the bathroom.
He allowed himself to be dragged to his room and forced to stay on his bed. "Now go to sleep Young Master Phoenix, we don't want you to get sick, you have a long day of school tomorrow," Em said, tucking him in.
While this happened, the black-haired man stood by the door. This was in case he tried to jump out of bed and escape which was what he was about to do.
"Please don't try to escape from bed young master, we have experience with His Highness, and if you try to resist you will be having a nutrition pack for the rest of the week," she said in a threatening voice.
Lucifer never said anything. Was she given an order to do this by Augustus or someone else?
He grunts angrily. One of them is outside is door and the other is directly in front of the study room. They cannot stand there all night.
The Next Day...
They stood there all night.
