Thinking of all the strange things that have happened to me: for example, the unparalleled affinity for the element of light, the ability to easily pick up the "Haul of Judgment", the strange attitude of the angel Raphael towards me some time ago...
This made Howard vaguely guess that his identity might be very unusual.
"Then who am I?" This question popped up in his mind again.
At this moment, an extremely dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Howard's eyes, causing him to squint his eyes slightly.
And in the center of this light, a blurry face appeared.
This seemed to be a woman's face. Although the details of her face could not be seen clearly, a series of words such as "perfect", "exquisite" and "dazzling" came to Howard's mind to describe her.
Beauty.
But facing this impeccably beautiful face, Howard lowered his head involuntarily, not daring to look at it.
From this face, Howard felt an extremely strong coercion - a kind of awe derived from instinct, and an absolute obedience derived from the depths of the soul.
At this moment, it seemed that no matter what unreasonable request the woman in front of him made, even if it asked him to hang himself immediately, Howard would do it.
"Lucifer, you finally woke up." I heard the woman say in a clear and melodious voice.
Although Howard's newly awakened memory was still very vague, he now knew that the name "Lucifer" was referring to him.
"Who are you……"
"You know who I am, Lucifer," a flawless smile appeared on the woman's face, "Now, since you have awakened your original memory, it is time for you to know the truth about this world.
.”
As the woman finished speaking, a picture like this appeared in front of Howard's eyes:
A beautiful woman with blond hair and white dress stood in the majestic temple.
A ray of golden light wrapped around the woman's fingertips, and in her weaving, it turned into one small person with wings after another——
These little people floated in the air, as if they were given life by this woman, and they opened their eyes from confusion.
Among these villains, Howard vaguely noticed that there was a seraph among them, whose appearance and temperament were quite similar to his own.
"Lucifer, you have always been the most perfect work I created with the source of light," the woman continued to say, "In order to make you more perfect, I specially let you reincarnate into the human world to experience the human world.
joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred and hatred.
"Now, it's time for you to come back."
"Come back?" Howard's thoughts were still confused and he frowned slightly, unable to sort out his memory for a while.
"That's right," the woman's melodious voice continued to ring in his ears, "Come back, Lucifer, this is your home.
"For a seraph like you, all the emotions in the world are just whetstones on the road to power. Only by abandoning these fetters can we truly transform and be reborn."
After hearing her words, it seemed that he was affected by an invisible force. The confusion in Howard's eyes gradually disappeared, and gradually turned into indifference and alienation - as if he had escaped from the world, standing in the clouds and overlooking the entire earth.
"What do you need me to do?" Howard heard himself ask in an emotionless voice.
"The war between light and darkness has arrived," the woman said in a cold voice, "Our enemy, the long-dormant god of darkness, has awakened from his slumber.
"He tried to deceive my believers, rob my faith, and use his dark divinity to plunge the world into eternal night.
"We must not allow him to act recklessly like this. We must take away his godhead and completely subdue him before his plan succeeds."
"God of Darkness".
Upon hearing this name, perhaps because he was a seraph created by the goddess of light, Howard instinctively felt a trace of disgust deep in his soul.
Although when he was in the Mage Tower, he often saw some news about the Dark Temple in the newspapers. Usually, the believers of the Dark Temple were encircled and suppressed by the Church of Light, resulting in heavy casualties.
At that time, he even had compassion for the believers of the God of Darkness.
But at this moment, when the memory deep in his soul gradually awakened, he deeply understood how ridiculous his original emotions were.
"The god who is in charge of darkness and deceit is now looking for the lost fragments of his godhead to restore the power he had at his peak," the goddess of light continued, "but now he is still extremely weak.
"Lucifer, if you successfully complete your own transformation, then he will never be your opponent.
"Now, what I need you to do is to find a way to get to him and find an opportunity to take away the fragments of his godhead. In this way, we can nip potential threats in the cradle in time."
After he finished speaking, another picture appeared on the light screen in front of Howard.
That was the dream world that Allen passed through on his way to the plane of Payne.
The white-spire Temple of the Sun stands on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a river of blood.
In the temple, the young man with black hair and blue eyes and the priestess with blond hair and white dress faced each other from a distance, and the air was filled with tension.
"Alan?"
Seeing such a scene, Howard couldn't help but shout out in surprise, even if the memory in his mind was confused at this time.
"Lucifer, from now on, you must keep in mind," the goddess of light said lightly, "the young man you see will no longer be your genius magician friend, but a friend of the dark godhead."
The Successor—to a certain extent, we can think of him as the God of Darkness."
Howard was stunned.
Even if he awakened the memory of the Seraphim at this time, he could not recover from this extreme shock.
Allen...he...how could he be related to the God of Darkness?
How could he, an ordinary person, suddenly become the successor of the God of Darkness?
However, unknowingly, Howard thought of all the strange things that had happened to Allen.
For example, suddenly possessing magical talent and becoming a highly regarded genius;
For example, he suddenly fainted near the Church of Light, and when he woke up, his blue eyes turned as dark as night;
Another example is the sudden trial against the Archbishop of Braden Kingdom;
…
Such things can indeed be explained if Allen is really related to the God of Darkness.
