The remaining legion of angels was swallowed whole by Hela, while Bexia rolled up Lucifer and returned to the Dark Sea Palace in the Abyss, tossing Lucifer to the ground on the side.
"What have you done to me?" Lucifer demanded.
"What do you think?" Bexia approached Lucifer, and deactivated the Endgame Mode on herself.
"Damn it, I will not submit to you!"
"Is that so?" Bexia chuckled, who could tell that at some point in the future, she would be in a completely different extreme state?
"Not submitting?" With a meaningful tone, Bexia grabbed Lucifer's collar, and the hard armor all over her body crumbled under his fingers, leaving only a thin layer of inner lining and a tail war skirt in the blink of an eye.
"What do you want?" Feeling the finger tracing down her neck, Lucifer glared at her, saying, "despite the trembling body, her inner turmoil was not as calm as she appeared on the outside."
"What do you think I want to do?" Bexia whispered in Lucifer's ear, and her tongue touched her crystal earlobe, causing her body to shudder as if electrocuted, and she stepped back in shock.
"Hehe…!" Watching Lucifer's expression change, Bexia playfully chuckled, then turned and said, "It just so happens that I have a little maid beside me!"
"You can't!" Lucifer protested.
"Do you think you can refuse?" even though Lucifer was reluctant, in the Abyss, Bexia, as the ruler, was the rule. Even if she had millions of unwillingness within, she could only stay by Bexia’s side.
"These things can enhance your strength!"
"I don't want them!"
"I found you a new outfit!"
"I won't take your stuff!"
"This…"
"No!"
Lucifer stood by Bexia like a wooden puppet, rejecting all his kindness. But Bexia just smiled, finding Lucifer at this moment to be stubborn yet amusing, a good way to pass the time.
Having comprehended the primal chaos, Bexia had reached a restriction, and with no more primal chaos available for absorption, he started to explore the power of epochs. This power was no less potent than chaos, even more mysterious and profound.
However, Bexia possessed the source of all epochal power, a small remnant page of the Book of Time, allowing him to comprehend some of the power of epochs.
"It seems time is running out, the fragment of time is about to return to its original time!" Holding the remnant piece, Bexia sensed a special summoning force. Time was an undividable and complete entity; the reason for the fragment's fall had a distinct purpose, thus, time would eventually return to one place and reform into a complete form.
"Since that's the case, then I should prepare as well!" Bexia muttered to himself.
"Lucifer!" he called out to the person beside him.
"Yes!?" Lucifer responded, in a much better situation compared to when she first arrived.
"You can leave!"
"Leave..." Lucifer repeated the word, suddenly stunned, not knowing what Bexia had in mind for her to go.
"Leave the Abyss now, you are free!" Bexia said, burying his own body and channeling his will through the remnant page of the Book of Time to move forward into the future, back to the era he belonged to.
With his absence, the Abyss would instantly turn into a battlefield. The demon lords, who seemed to obey him on the surface, would become increasingly proud and rebellious once he disappeared. With Lucifer's current limited strength, remaining here would surely lead to her demise. Surviving in the Abyss meant there were no benevolent beings.
By rights, Lucifer should have been delighted to hear such words. Yet, after taking a few steps, she halted, gazing back at Bexia on the throne, biting her lip, and asking, "You asked me to leave, but where can I go?"
"From where you came, back and forth," Bexia said calmly.
"You led me to this fallen state. Can I even return?" Once the supreme leader of the Faith of the Holy Light, now transformed into a fallen angel emitting dark power, would that place even accept her now? The answer was clear.
Lucifer thought about leaving, but there was no joy in her heart. Since the battle defeat and being captured by Bexia, it seemed that apart from staying by this man's side, she had no other choice.
Moreover, it had to be said that after spending so long with Bexia without the constraints of the divine realm, Lucifer's thoughts towards Bexia had gradually changed, though not shown, and if she were really to leave, she would feel a twinge of reluctance in her heart.
"Faith is not immutable, it's just a spiritual anchor! Power is only divided by attributes and not good or evil. Light and darkness coexist; there is no darkness without light, and no light without darkness. When you someday comprehend this, you will rule the world!"
"Go! The Abyss will become very dangerous ahead, without my existence, this place is not suitable for your survival!" Bexia drew a weapon from the throne and threw it towards Lucifer, then waved his hand to send her out of the Abyss.
"These Divinities should find their masters on their own now!" Bexia extended his hand, and eleven rays of light slipped from his palm, flying out from the Abyss into the vast universe.
"Hela, watch over my body, wait for my return!"
