Chapter 191: Stuck For 2 Weeks?
"I heard you saved my brother. Demons talk too much, you know? My pride has gotten the better of me, as you can see."
"What I threw at you was a talent pill. It’s something that even gods and goddesses can hardly get their hands on, and it allows them to copy their own talents and give them to others. I received it as a worship gift from someone I no longer remember in my youth, as a focus. Now it’s yours... and so is the talent inside it."
When Lucifer heard these words, Atlas stared at him and couldn’t say a thing.
Lucifer must have noticed this, for he looked into his eyes and asked, "Aren’t you going to say anything, little man?" He continued to call Atlas ’little man.’
When Atlas heard these words, he scratched his head and then asked, as if nothing had happened, "Sir, what exactly do you want from me?"
It was a question that needed to be asked.
"Atlas," Lucifer said suddenly, his steady but gentle tone from just a few seconds ago disappearing, replaced by the harsh and serious voice of the Devil of Pride, the Lord of Hell.
"When you swallow that pill, you will realise everything, but never forget! Never, ever forget that you must put that pill in your mouth at the moment when you think you are going to die, when everyone you love is going to die, otherwise you will gain nothing. Never forget this, Atlas, it is very important. This is exactly what I wanted from you. Don’t try to save me. Don’t try to find the Life Stone; you won’t find it. I don’t know where they hid it, but they’ve even found a way to escape the Sages’ magic!" Lucifer said suddenly.
Every word confused Atlas even more, but despite all this, Atlas was trying to pull himself together.
