Chapter 172 - 172: Frightening Thought

As the narrator dropped this bombshell of a revelation, most of the people that were watching the TV stood up in shock.

This revelation was too big. This murderer was the son of Legendary Zale Azarel? How could it be? The son of a hero becoming a Villain? This seemed impossible, and most even thought that the Narrator was lying.

"Hs is Lucifer Azarel, the young and innocent boy who had an innocent childhood, loved by his parents. He was a normal kid who had dreams and hopes like the rest of us, but his dreams were taken from him after his parents’ death!" The Narrator continued. His voice and this information was making all the viewers feel something. It was making them uncomfortable.

The pictures of Lucifer’s childhood started appearing on the screen where he was with his parents. This proved that he was actually their son and that it wasn’t a lie.

"The kid was only five years old! He was only a kid when his parents went to a Dungeon on government and Hunter Union’s request to keep this country and this world safe, but they didn’t return! They died inside the dungeon, most likely because of a scheme against them by the APF and the government. Unlikely you think?"

"Some of you would say that Zale was the Hero of Humanity, and he kept humans safe, just like the Hunter Union and the government did, right? Their goal was the same; why would they scheme against Zale?" The Narrator asked again.

....

Rowen barged inside Varant’s office, seemingly in a hurry

"You need to see this! Come fast! Something big is happening!" Rowen told Varant. "We’re in trouble!"

"What happened?" Varant asked as he stood up. "Did Uprising attack a city again?"

"Yes, it’s Variant Uprising! They didn’t attack any city, but they have taken over all the channels, and now they’re giving out information about Lucifer and his past!" Riali told Varant, frowning.

...

While Varant was being informed about what had happened, the broadcast on the channels continued.

"Unfortunately, that is the truth! Still, think we are lying? Then place your hand on your heart and think carefully; if the Government really liked Zale, how would they treat his newly orphaned son? With care? If they respected Zale, they would treat his son with care and try to give him an ordinary and happy life as he deserved, but no!"

"The government took Lucifer from his home and brought him to a facility! A facility where he was tested on and kept in a cage that no kid should ever experience! Watch for yourself, how the next five years of his life after his parents’ death progressed," the Narrator said before he stopped.

The footage on the screen changed, finally switching from the heart-wrenching footage of the torture.

The footage now showed five-year-old Lucifer being brought into the facility. It showed how tests were conducted on him that no kid should ever experience.

Keeping him standing in artificial rain for a whole day, without letting him sit. Forcing him to stay up for days without sleeping, keeping him in that jail-like room which he wasn’t allowed to leave.

The room that had nothing but a plane bed was the only other place he saw other than labs for the next five years.

The footage showed the next five years of Lucifer’s life, in short making people feel sad for the kid.

That kid was really a pitiful being after having to go through all this. Most of the people felt bad for him, but that was especially the case for unaffiliated Variants.

Most of the Variants respected Zale like their idol. The man who was the hero of humanity.

So to see a Variant’s son being punished like this even after his father did so much for them, just what kind of cruel world was this? This whole revelation hit Variants especially hard.

Some of the Variants that had kids couldn’t help but look at them, wondering if the same thing will happen to their kids once they die. Even the thought alone was frightening them.

Just as the Variants were feeling extremely sad for Lucifer, the Narrator’s voice came once again.

"After all this, what do you think this Cruel and Murdering kid in your eyes would have thought? He would have started hating humanity, right? Hear what he said even after all that," the Narrator said before the footage once again changed.

Now it was showing Lucifer on his last day in the facility when Doctor Rao, Doctor Layman and Doctor Min had come to his room to take him for the test.

"Lucifer Azarel, come with us," Doctor Rao said in that footage.

"Am I going to get tested again? I can develop powers like my father? I wish to be like my parents and help everyone," Lucifer replied.

As the viewers heard these words, they felt like these words were stabbing in their hearts. Even after all that, this boy wanted to help everyone? Even after they did so much to him after his parent’s death, he still wanted to help?

This also brought a question to their mind. The boy who wanted to help humans even after all this, how did he become a cruel murderer that was wanted by the APF?

What actually happened to the kid that made him become a murderer? What brought an innocent kid down that path? He didn’t seem crazy from what they could see. Then what made him like that?

The footage continued and also showed the reply of Doctor Rao to Lucifer.

"No, you will never have powers. It would be best if you didn’t even mention to anyone that you’re the son of Zale Azarel and Clarisse," Doctor Rao told Lucifer.

Not feeling the least bit embarrassed for talking to a kid like that, he further added. "Otherwise, they will turn into laughingstocks to people for having such a worthless son."

...

"This f*cking scientist! Is he crazy?! That boy is so nice, but he talks to him like that? Even after Zale saved so many people?"

"F*cking bastards! I hate these scientists!"

Most Variants that saw this were cursing out loud since they were imagining Lucifer like their son after knowing he was the son of Zale Azarel. Zale had helped many people, after all.

Even the humans were upset at this behavior that they were seeing. These guys were really trash human beings. They were giving Lucifer the impression that the entire humanity was terrible, all because they were scummy!
