Inhuman Warlock

"Bring out both the cores if needed. Just save him at any cost," Salazar gave permission to Xaen while Yaliza left for the airport.

"Sigh, that would've been something that I would've done to save Lucifer even if you hadn't asked. But we can't do that either." Xaen signed.

"We can't do that either? Why not?" Salazar asked.

"Because I can't see any conflicting cores. In fact, he doesn't have two cores which are close to each other. All his cores are at safe distance from each other," Xaen replied. "That's the problem."

"They're at a safe distance? You mean they aren't conflicting? So his problem is something else?" Salazar asked.

"I didn't say that either. Cores can conflict with each other as long as they are inside the body. That's the problem. That leaves the same problem for us, but makes it even more difficult to solve the problem since we can't detect which core is conflicting."

"And that doesn't leave the choice between two cores. That widens the field even more. The problematic core can be any in his body."

Xaen seemed very grave as he talked. The problem was much worse.

"That means we can't just take out two cores to help him?" Cassius asked.

"Yeah. We might even have to remove all his cores one by one until only one is left, if we are unlucky in finding the right core," Xaen explained, grimly.

"He won't just be losing one of his powers, but he might lose all of his abilities if that happens," Salazar let out. "That makes the choice much more difficult. We're literally talking about taking everything from him!"

"And that's assuming that his problem is truly the cores. What if his problem is something else and his core is what's keeping alive?" Alice asked.

She further explained. " If the problem was something else and we took away his healing which keeps him alive even in this condition, what will happen?"

"Sigh, this is certainly a difficult choice. But it's something we must make. Are you going to leave him in this condition his entire life? Or will you sacrifice his abilities to bring him back?" Xaen asked.

"I-" Salazar didn't know how to respond.

"This is not our choice to make though," Jiani let out. "It's his powers. How can you decide for Lucifer? You shouldn't do anything. I think we should let him be like that. I'm sure his healing just needs more time to kick in."

While speaking, she truly believed that no one else had the right to decide what happens with a person's power other than that person. That was her principal. However, the true reason she was supporting letting Lucifer be like that was Milena.

If Lucifer was in a comatose situation his entire life, Milena was literally going to be the ruler of this world. Moreover, she won't have to worry about the bracelet as her powers were unsealed. The only thing she couldn't do was take off the bracelet.

However, if Lucifer's powers were sacrificed, he might be able to come back to life, but he was going to be very weak. In fact, if he was unlucky and the only power which was left at the end was something weak like his wind, then he was going to be a weakling as well.

He couldn't protect himself. He was certainly going to be wary of Milena and seal her powers again in fear. Strong Lucifer wasn't afraid of Milena with powers but same couldn't he said about weak Lucifer.

Also, if Lucifer was weak, he could be killed by any enemy which was going to put Milena's life in danger. If he was in the same state, Milena could keep him safe while she found a way to get out of the bracelet.

"You think he has the right to decide what happens to his powers?" Salazar asked. "I think the same. But you think he is in any situation to answer? If he was able to answer, why would we even need to worry about making this choice?"

"The only reason we need to take this decision is because he can't," he continued.

"We need to make a decision now! His life or his abilities! And I think we all know the answer to that question!" he declared. "Unless someone thinks that his powers are more important than his life?!"

"I didn't come here for Warlock King Lucifer Azarel! I had come to Uprising for the boy known as Lucifer who is the son of Zale Azarel! And I believe his life is more important than anything!"

As Salazar talked, his voice kept getting louder and louder. "Does anyone have a problem with my decision?! If there are consequences and he is angry when he wakes up, I'll be here to take his anger! But I'm bringing him back at any cost!"

"Well, that was a very passionate speech if I ever heard one." A calm voice filled the room.

Everyone looked to the entrance and noticed a shadow on the ground. They couldn't see who the shadow belonged to as there was no person there.

A person stepped out of the shadow, dressed in all black. He was wearing a Cardigan Particle robe which could change color as well. It was similar to what was made for Lucifer.

"You are alive? But I heard you died?" Salazar asked, frowning. "Kellian!"

"Well, generally I would have asked why you don't know that I'm alive, but Yaliza told me everything on the way. Apparently something happened to Lucifer, so he probably didn't have the time to tell you anything."

Kellian walked closer to Lucifer and sat near him.

"Are you here to stop me from deciding to sacrifice his powers?" Salazar asked Kellian. Even though he was strong, Kellian was technically the boss of Uprising after Lucifer. People were going to listen to him if he said something.

Salazar worried that Kellian was going to oppose him because he was more concerned about the Uprising than about Lucifer.

Two more people stepped inside the room. Yaliza and Veracity stood in the back.

"Calm down. And stop being so hyper. I thought you were an adult, but it seems like you're still a kid. Let me take care of things from here on," Kellian told Salazar.

He turned to Xaen. "I heard what you said. Is it true that you might need to take all his powers away?"

"Yeah. If we're lucky, we might take out the conflicting power on the first try. If we're unlucky, it might be the last ability we take out." Xaen nodded.
