Lucifer sounded European. With a rather classy style of speaking-- More towards Irish perhaps. He draped a velvety purple long coat and a black highneck with blue jeans and a pair of black ankle boots.

"Greet me," He commanded.
Asselyum rolled her eyes "Hello, sir," She greeted, sarcastically "I'm glad you're alive afterall. You took your sweet time to get here."
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Asselyum." Everyone stared at them.

"I shall be taking a bath first since I feel rather irked after having to touch a disgusting human body. Make the arrangements accordingly."
"There are no arrangements here. We are at a bar not the Mechapolis tower."

"Well then, where is the bathing area?"
"We just have that bathroom over there. Go take a bath."
"It's looks so repelling. No way might I reveal myself there. It's disrespectful to my body. I might as well not bath."
"Fine by me."

Lucifer looked at all the blood on his hands and his clothes.
"On second thoughts, go fetch me some clothes." He ordered and everyone turned towards Jimmy.
"What?"
"Your sizes might match."
"You want clothes? I'll give you some of mine-- But bro-- Get a new underwear, I won't share that." Jimmy said.

"I might as well burn the clothes he gives me. I'm not wearing a teen human's clothes-- They perspire. I might as well not dote any clothes at all!"
"Fine by me--"
"Not it's not!" Axel shouted "If I see any pervert roaming naked before my eyes-- I'm calling the cops on him for child abuse and harassment."

"You know your rights." Jimmy smiled as he got Lucifer some clothes.
"Damn well I do!"
He took a bath while everyone else stood outside Slaine's room.

"Who is that guy?" Jimmy asked.
"Lucifer." Asselyum replied.
"Eh-Wait--That Lucifer who is the strongest?" Axel asked.
"Yes. His strength is indescribable."
"Wow."

Lucifer came out of the bathroom after an hour long bath "That wasn't too bad. How unexpected."
He wore Jimmy's white T-Shirt and blue jeans.
"Hey, these clothes are too baggy. I feel like I look like a troll." Lucifer complained.
"Ah-- You see I'm a bit bigger than you incase you didn't notice at first." Now Jimmy was being straight savage.

"You and I are evidently the same height." Lucifer said.
"I'm not talking about our heights but our builds. I've got quite some of the muscle up here."
"I assume you train like a dog and sweat like a slime."
"Those are washed, don't worry."

"It's still disgusting. Those fathom lies are nothing but--"
"Aw man, you look hot so shut up." Axel said.
"Of course. I shall be arousing every being that has ever encountered me and been granted a vision to be able to see me."

"This guy is honestly annoying. Can I kill him?" Axel turned towards Asselyum.
"I'm sure you'll die in a second if he actually takes you seriously." Asselyum reminded him of who Lucifer was.

Meanwhile, Lupin worked on Slaine. The burns were 3rd degree for sure but surprising he held on.

There was another X-DROID around but MiK and Norman decided to take care of it since it was just a B1 and Lucifer didn't fight with anyone except C2 because he believed that it was an insult to his strength.

Lucifer and Asselyum sat before Slaine who was still unconscious.
"I'm thoroughly surprised that he made it. Those are very deep burns and cuts." Lucifer crossed his arms.
Asselyum just looked at Slaine and pressed her hands on his head.
"Lupin cleaned him up too."

"Don't touch him. His scalp is burnt too and touching him might lead to an infection. You know how fragile humans are." Lucifer warned her. She moved her hands away from him. Lucifer stared at Slaine.
"Say Asselyum," He mumbled after a long pause "Don't you think he is Ben?"

Asselyum looked at him "Why do you think that?" She asked.
"This one time while Ben was making me, the supreme Lord himself, he accidentally fell into a furnace and badly burnt his shoulder. He lay there shouting for help. He too had a third degree burn but he survived it--Just like Slaine."

"No but, Slaine is not Ben."
"You're just refusing to accept that because you don't want to kill him."
She looked away and Lucifer smiled "You still have feelings for Ben, don't you?"
"It's all your fault."

Lucifer chuckled and looked at Slaine "If he really is Ben," He said "He won't die from a burn like this. In case he died, maybe my predictions were wrong, which is impossible. I'm never wrong."

Lucifer got up and left the room while Asselyum looked at Slaine.

Meanwhile, Allianz treated Delete's wounds. "He was so strong, Allianz." Delete scuffed. Her voice seemed hoarse and forced because of all the dust left within her throat.
"Was he Lucifer?" She asked and Allianz smiled "He's so cruel, isn't he?"

"He is the worst among all ANDROIDS!"
"Unfortunately, he's the strongest too. And he wouldn't think twice before doing something as horrible as ending a nation or a entire race."

"Allianz."
"Yes?"
"How was I made?" Delete asked "A cross between human and animal, right?"
"Yes."

"But then, why don't I resemble an animal. I look so human."
"Humans are the worst among all other animals. They created us, used us and then abandoned us."
"Is eating wrong just because our food is different?"
"No, you can eat anything you want. Lemme see who'll stop you."

MiK and Norman returned back after killing the X-DROIDs. It was dinner time and Mr James had set the table.

"Where is Valorie?" MiK asked Lucifer.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him." Lucifer replied as he ate the food.

"You can eat?" Axel asked.
"Yes. I can produce electricity through food so I don't need to charge myself."
"Wow. You really are something different." Jimmy said.
"Where's Asselyum?" Norman asked.

"She is with Slaine. She's helping Lupin change his bandages." Axel informed him. After Lupin was done, he left the room to take a bath, leaving Asselyum alone with Slaine.

She sat on her knees and looked at him. His skin was red and seemed so fragile but she noticed no significant changes in his health. Though, she was glad that he had managed to stay alive after all that physical and mental torture.

For another two weeks, Slaine lay unconscious but his skin was mostly healed. Lupin had worked hard to ensure that he didn't catch any infection. One night, Asseylum got up from her bed and reached his room.

His eyes were open and he was sitting upright on his bed. Asselyum ran towards him and sat before him. He looked at her and she looked at him as the dim moonlight fell into his room. His breath was warm and his face was covered in bandages. His hair had burnt and now his pink scalp was exposed to the air, half-covered in yellowing, red bandages. 

She gently moved her fingers towards his fingers, she touched him as if he were a butterfly, to be a killing machine and be this gentle, this careful, it wasn't what she was made for. But it was what she wanted to be. Fragile enough to be beside him but hard enough to shield him. His gentle blue eyes looked at her through the bandages, she smiled, "You are alive..."

"Asselyum,"
It was nice to hear his voice. She held his face between his hands, "Why do you...fascinate me so much..."
He looked at her, "I had a nightmare,"
"I know..." She whispered, "But you survived it. So, you won,"

He slowly removed the bandages from around his mouth, "It's beautiful," He whispered.
She looked into his eyes, "What is beautiful?"

"I almost touched the clouds of death and drowned back into the dark ocean of life, yet this touch of life, makes me want to kill. It makes me want to bring death,"

"You think that is beautiful?"
"No, you are,"
