Chapter 86: Training
The broadcast hadn’t ended.
Lucifer Morningstar leaned back slightly in his chair, then spoke again with a voice like silk over steel.
"Now, as promised... an example."
The screen flickered , the black wolf symbol vanished. A new live feed took its place.
It showed a burning city block, smoke rising into the air like war had just erupted. Screams echoed faintly in the background.
People ran. Buildings crumbled. A tall, muscular man with glowing red veins in his arms tossed a car like it was made of plastic. Another figure, a woman with dark hair and lightning crackling from her palms, was floating mid-air, laughing like a maniac.
Ethan’s eyes narrowed. The room was silent — even Carter and Alistair had serious expressions now.
"These two," Lucifer’s voice narrated calmly over the footage, "thought awakening gave them freedom. That they could destroy cities and take lives for fun."
Behind them, black-clad enforcers in armored suits appeared — smooth, inhuman movements, each one wearing a variant of the black wolf mask.
The laughing woman fired a lightning bolt at one.
It bounced off his chest.
The enforcer raised a hand , and without a word, vaporized her with a compressed pulse of dark-blue Chi. Her body shattered into sparks.
