I play a Evil God in Otome Game

Chapter 146 Return to the Aure

"No need to be afraid. We won't harm you. Just sleep." As Lucifer forced Oliver and Emilla into slumber, Azazel looked at him curiously. "When do we start?"

"Now," Lucifer replied simply and signaled Azazel with his eyes to begin. Following Lucifer's instructions, Azazel started using his powers to extract Emilla's soul.

Emilla's body trembled as her brain instinctively tried to protect itself, but shadows enveloped her, holding her tightly.

As Emilla groaned in pain, the soul's bright white hue began to rise. Seeing the greed in Azazel's trembling eyes as he gazed at the soul, Lucifer frowned. "Calm down, Azazel."

Ashamed, Azazel felt embarrassed at losing control, but it was understandable. Unlike the souls of Aure, the souls of people from this world were pure. For demons like Azazel, who hadn't seen such a soul in ages, it was like the sweetest feast.

"I'm beginning now. Inform me if there's an issue."

"Understood."

Lucifer then slowly infused his Mana into the soul. The divine Mana touched the soul, causing it to quiver momentarily as though it would vanish. Pressing his lips together, Lucifer focused intently.

As the soul began to lose its brightness, Azazel sighed regretfully. The soul dimmed further, taking on a grayish hue while the divine Mana gradually influenced it.

"Damn it," Lucifer cursed as the soul started to fade again. Increasing his Mana output, the soul brightened once more, but this time dark Mana began corrupting it.

The subtle Mana in the surroundings slowly settled into a sphere held by Lucifer. This sphere, crafted with Azazel's assistance, was a Mana-collecting device.

Though physically tangible, it was made from a Genie soul. As spiritual beings, Genies had the ability to touch and reside within human souls.

This allowed the device to function as a Mana collector. It was indeed ingenious. Lucifer and Azazel took pride in it.

"If we wait longer, it will be gone. We need to act fast," Azazel explained calmly. Lucifer nodded. As the sphere collected more Mana, everything was finally ready. Wishing himself luck, Lucifer placed the Genie Sphere into the soul.

The corrupted soul quivered for a moment. Then, spiritual threads emanating from the Sphere wrapped around the soul, fusing with it. The disgusting noise it made caused Lucifer to grimace.

As easy as it seemed, it was far from it. By nature, Genies were ruthless when attaching themselves to souls. The disgusting sound they emitted during the binding process caused a painful resonance.

The Genie Sphere was impressive, and both Lucifer and Azazel were confident in its capabilities, though the process itself was far from pleasant to observe.

"Is it done?" Azazel asked curiously, examining the soul. Thoughtfully twitching his pigeon-like wings, he looked at Lucifer, who remained deep in thought.

The fusion of a soul with a Genie Sphere had yielded the desired effect. Now, the only question was Emilla's ability to wield Mana.

If Emilla successfully used real Mana, it would be a good sign. If not, the experiment would be deemed a failure. While Lucifer didn't expect failure, he waited with curiosity.

"Now it's Oliver's turn," Lucifer moved swiftly. With Emilla's test phase completed, it was time to do the same for Oliver.

As the soul was slowly extracted, Oliver was more resistant than Emilla. The soul shimmered as if struggling. It seemed that souls retained some of the human's willpower.

"Do you think they'll remember what we've done to their souls?" Lucifer asked curiously. Azazel nodded and said thoughtfully, "I've never seen a soul speak or move before, but maybe they could. Who knows?"

Unlike the Aurelion Republic, Morrigan had made a huge investment in fast cavalry for blitzkrieg tactics, which focused on quick assaults. The archers used longbows.

Although the infantry was strong, the main focus was on cavalry and archers. Due to the lack of mechanized technology for blitzkrieg, Morrigan's main tool was small and light cannons used by horses.

These cannons had a small impact and destruction but were effective in piercing through infantry. In short, they were good.

"Did you return?"

"Yes, it took a long time, but I'm back." Lucifer said calmly. Morrigan nodded. Lucifer, expecting more from her, sighed in disappointment, then smiled. "So, you're 18 now?"

Morrigan nodded, then became serious. She looked at Lucifer. "We've been preparing for war for a long time. Now that you're here, we can fight."

Lucifer was momentarily surprised, then quickly adjusted and adapted. "Alright, first tell me our success status?"

"We'll crush them." Morrigan said with an authoritative tone. Lucifer, surprised by Morrigan's change, paused awkwardly and cleared his throat. "I see, I see. Good, then we can start the invasion."

"Understood, the strategy is set as you said." Morrigan stood up, showing the strategic map on the table with a stern expression. "Our cavalry and light artillery will take the Outpost, which is Aurelion's supply point. Then we will advance toward Sarden, the Republic's two largest cities."

Lucifer paused, thinking deeply, unsure of what to say, and looked at Morrigan. Morrigan had really changed. Lucifer looked closely at her.

To be honest, she had grown taller, and the childish face brought on by adolescence had completely left her. If she had been sweet before, now she was very sexy.

At the same time, there was a change in her personality. The emotionless expression had gone, replaced by an expression of nobility and tyranny, like that of an Empress. Even when talking to Lucifer, she was authoritative. If Lucifer were to describe her, she was like a lioness.

"Well done." Lucifer smiled. Even though Morrigan had changed, it was good for him. It seemed that taking responsibility had killed her naivety and replaced it with authority.

"This is why you must help us in this war. Although Aurelion's army numbers 100,000, they still have a potential 400,000 soldiers. We must end this quickly without too many losses and conserve our strength."

Lucifer nodded. He did not refuse Morrigan's request. Then, a strange silence grew between them. It was Lucifer who broke the silence.

"Look, since I haven't seen you—"

"Please," Morrigan quickly interrupted Lucifer's words and looked at him with a serious expression. "You are our God. Apologizing to me would be an insult. I'm fine. I have a meeting now. Can we talk later?"

Hearing Morrigan's words, Lucifer sighed. Although he still felt her loyal and obedient spirit, a separate pain filled Lucifer's heart. This strange feeling seemed to grip his heart with pain.

"I'll declare war at the meeting. Can we talk later, my God?" Morrigan lowered her head and said obediently to Lucifer, so he wouldn't get upset. Lucifer quickly recovered and nodded. "Alright, we can talk later."

As Morrigan left, Lucifer stood awkwardly in the office. Frowning, Lucifer thought about Morrigan. He was proud of her.

At the same time, he felt the constraints of their God-human relationship. In his absence, Morrigan had severed their small intimacy, instead preferring a God-Human relationship.

Lucifer, strangely uncomfortable with this, wondered what had happened to Morrigan in the 1.5 years since he had been away. He sighed.

"Well, I can learn when we talk later." Then Lucifer transformed back into his raven form, flew through the window, and headed toward the city's inner part to observe Morrigan's meeting.
