One True God

Chapter 135: Samael

"Do you understand, little boy?" The Blood Guardian asked Oumu.

Well, Oumu definitely understands what the Blood Guardian said as the Blood Guardian explained everything in detail.

It would be weird if Oumu was not able to understand it after hearing what the Blood Guardian said.

However, even though Oumu was able to understand what the Blood Guardian said, that doesn't necessarily mean that Oumu...was ready to accept what he just said.

Why? It was because what the Blood Guardian said is just straight-up ridiculous!

And from what Oumu understands, Demon Authorities of a Hell God is really incredible powers that the Hell Gods keep in secret.

In other words, the Demon Authorities of a Hell God is what one would call the trump card of the Hell God.

It was their secret technique! And although what Blood Guardian said is kind of underwhelming since he can only heal Lucifer's body and just use his powers, Oumu knows that it is not simple as that.

It must be something more amazing than that. It could be that...the Blood Guardian would be able to heal Lucifer's body from being a near-corpse back to full health in just mere seconds.

And that is ridiculous! In a battle where everything is decided in an instant, what the Blood Guardian can do is just absolutely ridiculous!

At least, that's what Oumu understands from what the Blood Guardian told him. And although he didn't really elaborate on this part, it was the truth that the Blood Guardian can really do that.

He can really make Lucifer recover from being a near-corpse back to full health in just mere seconds.

And in a fight where such instantaneous regeneration can happen, this is really a crucial ability and it is what Lucifer's enemies would want to seal up first.

After all, they do not know if the Blood Guardian can do it once, twice, or even thrice in a row.

In other words, as long as the Blood Guardian is alive, then they wouldn't be able to kill Lucifer.

If they can outdo the Blood Guardian's regeneration, then they might stand a chance.

However...the Blood Guardian is able to heal Lucifer's body back to full health by just being awake. In other words, he does not need to focus on healing Lucifer or anything of the sort.

And since the Blood Guardian has been granted the right to be able to control Lucifer's powers in his stead, what that means is that...he would be able to fight back and make sure that the regeneration would go smoothly.

If this is not a hell of a cheat of an ability, then Oumu does not even know what is.

This is the reason why it is the truth that the Blood Guardian is one of the most important Demon Authorities of the Hell God, Lucifer.

However, Oumu is not able to accept that.

It was already ridiculous that the Blood Guardian is able to do that without any risks or anything of the sort.

But if Oumu actually accepts that kind of an explanation, that would also mean that Oumu is accepting that the Blood Guardian is indeed the Demon Authority of Lucifer.

In other words, he is accepting that Lucis...is indeed Lucifer.

And that goes against his belief. He already believed that Lucis is not Lucifer.

Of course, this does not mean that Oumu cannot just accept that or anything of the sort.

If there were plenty of pieces of evidence that proves that Lucifer is indeed Lucifer, then Oumu would believe him.

However, right now, it was just his word against Lucifer's word.

There is no proof or anything of the sort that proves that Lucifer is indeed Lucifer.

There may be the Blood Guardian and he may prove to be some kind of proof, but then again, it is just his word against Oumu's word and to someone like Oumu who is really curious about things and surprisingly meticulous about fact-checking, he cannot consider it as a fact.

That is why...Oumu cannot accept whatever the Blood Guardian just said.

That is why...even though Oumu is really curious about what was going on with the Blood Guardian and he also wanted to ask how it was possible that he could do something like that, the sparkles in Oumu's eyes...have finally died down while looking at Lucifer.

His excitement was gone, and from the mood of a cheerful boy to the demeanor of a strong demon...Oumu was looking at the Blood Guardian.

It was quite amazing that Oumu was able to stop himself. After all, Oumu is the type of demon who would do anything just to make sure that his curiosity would be satisfied.

However, this just goes to show that even for Oumu, this is a serious matter that he cannot just let go of.

After all, this was Hell Gods that they were talking about. Even Oumu would know what kind of future he would have if they keep on talking about this.

Of course, since Oumu didn't believe the Blood Guardian that he is indeed a Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer, he couldn't really say that he understood what the Blood Guardian said.

And Oumu really cannot just say that outrightly either. After all, that would mean that Oumu would just say that he thinks that the Blood Guardian is a liar and one can guess how that would go.

That is why Oumu decided to give one more chance.

Right, Oumu had the balls to give the Blood Guardian one more chance to prove that...he is indeed the Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer.

And to do that, Oumu asked...

"I understand that. But does that mean that...since you are here, Lucifer's body is being regenerated at a fast pace?"

Of course, when Oumu asked that, the Blood Guardian quickly answered.

"That's right. It is being regenerated at a fast pace, and he would be healthier than he is before."

"However, it seems that my master's body is quite in a terrible state even before it turned dangerously bad."

"And it seems that not even I will be able to fix it."

"Hmm...this is probably because of his inactivity."

The Blood Guardian said those words without any hesitation with an interesting look.

Well, it was only natural that he would be interested in this since it was concerning Lucifer's body.

The Blood Guardian is aware of how strong Lucifer's body is, and when he got summoned here, Lucifer's body was already breaking down even before it turned dangerously bad.

The Blood Guardian was able to see through that, which made him question why that was the case.

Of course, the only conclusion that the Blood Guardian came up with is the fact that Lucifer has not really gone outside to do anything and just read books all day long.

However...

"That's weird, though. My master's body would be able to survive for a million years without moving, eating, or drinking."

"That should not be the case...unless someone poisoned him."

"Is he even aware of this? Ah, he should be."

"Maybe that's the reason why the others are not here with him."

The Blood Guardian continued to say.

Unfortunately for the Blood Guardian, he cannot speak with Lucifer.

After all, the only time the Blood Guardian is awake is when Lucifer is out.

Of course, the Blood Guardian would be able to talk with Lucifer. However, that is only when Lucifer comes to him first.

The Blood Guardian wouldn't be able to talk to Lucifer first.

Well, this is because he is too talkative and Lucifer ordered him to not talk to him first.

Anyway, Oumu didn't really care about what he said, which is why he didn't really pay attention to what he said.

What Oumu wanted, in this case, is to just break the ice.

And now that he broke the ice, he then spoke.

"So...when will Samael and Lucifer finally meet?" Oumu asked.

And what Oumu asked was...a very weird question. A name that just came out of nowhere and Lucifer.

It was as if Oumu was just guessing things here.

However, he is definitely not. Even though there is a chance that history has indeed been manipulated by someone, there are still facts here.

And that is the truth as Lucifer is still known as a Hell God.

And in the story of Lucifer, there was Samael.

Lucifer's brother, Samael.

And if the Blood Guardian is indeed the Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer, then...he should know who Samael is.

He should know that Lucifer...have killed Samael himself.

And that is the...truth.

The Blood Guardian did know who Samael was and that he is now dead.

However, the Blood Guardian was...looking at Oumu in a weird way.

Why? It was because his eyes were full of bloodlust.

No...it was not only his eyes but this whole room suddenly was full of bloodlust!

"What did you say? Did you not know that name is banned around my master? Huh?" The Blood Guardian said.

And when he asked that, Oumu...was already on his knees, unable to withstand the pressure.

And with this, Oumu was...sure.

'S-so, he's indeed Lucifer!' Oumu thought.
