1068 Chapter 1069: My Pride
"Even if it was trillions, I would've done the same!" Lucifer replied, his voice still firm. "As long as one hand is raised towards my family, I'll cut that hand and every hand related to it! Not just once, I'll do it a thousand times over."
"To me, my family's life is above everything else! Even if I have to become a Demon to protect them, I'll willingly do it!" he further stated while greeting his father.
Although he acted strong on the outside, on the inside he was happy that he could get scolded by his father. That just confirmed that in this life, his family was alive.
"You..." Lucifer's father sighed in response. He couldn't understand how his son changed so much.
Previously, he used to be weak. He wasn't just mentally weak but physically as well, said to be dying with each passing day. However, after the inheritance, it was as if his son had changed entirely.
The Ancient Clan Leader stood up, stepping closer to Lucifer, his expressions stern.
With only half a meter of distance between him and his son, he stopped. "I don't appreciate the way you handled things."
"I know you don't," Lucifer answered. "But to make sure something like this doesn't happen again, we can't go on like in the past. To prevent something like this, we have to create fear in their hearts. I know you're not a person like that."
"That's why, I'll be the villain instilling fear in their hearts so that they will think a thousand times before trying again! I needed to set an example on what happens to the ones who take from me! As long as the others don't forget this example, it'll be peaceful!"
"However, if they do forget this example, I won't mind making a few more examples!" Lucifer's voice wasn't loud but it was heard loud and clear in everyone's heart.
At that moment, all the Ancient Clan Members felt a strange feeling of pride in them. That was right! They had to set an example! They couldn't let the blood of their family and friends go to waste!
At that moment, all of them felt that Lucifer did the right thing. It was time for their clan to change so that this could be prevented in the past. Subconsciously, they had all started treating Lucifer to the same level as their leader who they were proud of.
"You!" Lucifer's father scratched the back of his head. "You brat, I don't know what changed you so much. But just remember, even if you're wrong and I don't agree with your way of handling things, I'll always stand beside you! But if possible, try to consult with me before making a decision."
Lucifer nodded like an innocent child.
"I'll go meet Mother," he said as he turned around to leave.
"Wait, there's one more thing." Lucifer's father called out.
Lucifer stepped and turned around. "Yes father?"
His father placed his hand over his head, ruffling his hair. "I'm glad that you're safe."
Lucifer smiled. "Me too, father. Me too..."
He turned and left the main hall. After the battle, this was the first time he was going to meet his mother and had a proper talk with her.
He could feel his heart beating faster as he reached closer to his mother's chamber. Even when he fought against thousands of enemies, he never felt this nervous.
This was the mother who gave birth to him. This was the mother whose love and embrace he never got to experience in the past life. This was the mother who had given her life to save him. And now he was going to meet that mother.
As he stepped before the chamber, he took a deep breath. He reached out his hand to knock, even his hands feeling cold.
At that moment, Lucifer felt all the pain... All the sadness and craziness of his past disappeared. In this moment, he truly felt at peace like never before.

Knock~
Knock~
Following the knock, he patiently waited.
Before long, the door opened. And standing before him was a woman with radiant beauty, her eyes filled with both love and concern. It was his mother, the person he had longed to see for so many years.
"M-Mother," Lucifer stammered, feeling a lump forming in his throat. He struggled to find the right words to say, overwhelmed by the emotions that flooded his heart.
His mother's eyes filled with tears as she took a step forward, her arms outstretched. She didn't say a single thing, just feeling a strange melancholy in her heart as if she could feel her son's pain.
Tears streamed down Lucifer's face. The person known as the Demon in the entire universe for annihilating hundreds of clans was no different than a child in his mother's embrace.
It was unclear how unbelievable others would've found it to link this Lucifer with that Lucifer. However, only Lucifer knew how weak he truly was after going through everything.
It was a mixture of relief, joy, and sadness all at once. As he hugged his mother, the weight of their previous lives' tragedies seemed to dissipate, replaced by a newfound hope for the future.
"I'm sorry, Mother," Lucifer weakly spoke. "I'm sorry for not being able to protect you."
His mother gently stroked his hair, her voice filled with warmth and understanding. "What are you talking about? You protected me. You're the reason we're all alive. So don't ever blame yourself. You have saved us all!"
"Who said my child was weak? My son is the strongest! He's my pride! So I never want to see him blame himself," she said as she freed him.
At that moment, Lucifer felt all the pain... All the sadness and craziness of his past disappeared. In this moment, he truly felt at peace like never before.
****
A few years passed, and Lucifer had truly become a part of this clan. Even though his father was still the leader, he was handling most of the matters of the clan.
He had become the unnamed leader of the clan and all the warriors of the clan listened to him in anything.
However, one particular day, Lucifer left the clan without telling anyone. No one knew where he had gone.
