The news of England's end created another flood war in the media.

"More than five hundred million people died in the UK tragedy this Tuesday bringing an end to one of the world's greatest power and an end to the rivals of Hudrynch royal house of princely estates, putting prince Coelestin at first in the line of the throne, right next to Prince Loan."

"We can see people putting out candles near the seashore. Let's talk to them and hear about their opinions,"
"Lucifer brought an end to England. I was raised in England and went to meet my mother in Denmark, but when I returned, it was too late,"
"I saw that happen before my eyes, he just blew a colossal wave on top of the land and it was gone within seconds...It was destructive,"

"Can Lucifer be the next greatest apocalypse to humankind? How much can we trust a robot? This is why I never supported the idea of ANDROIDs"

"I liked Lucifer. I mean I had never seen him, but from what I heard about him, I developed a celebrity crush on him and all, but now man, I just hate him,"
"HOW COULD HE DO THIS? Watch him drown entire America next,"
"We have to stop him,"

"GIMME THAT MIC! LUCIFER!" A woman stared inside the camera as she cried while holding the mic, "I HOPE YOU WERE DEAD, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU KILLED MY ENTIRE FAMILY! THEY WERE STILL UNINFECTED AND I WAS BRINGING HELP FOR THEM BUT LOOK WHAT YOU DID! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, HUH? DOES THIS MAKE YOU HAPPY?!"

Lucifer sat in front of the TV which was a huge hologram.

"Don't let it get to you," Ben said as he took a sip of his coffee, "You did the right thing, Lucifer. Never doubt yourself,"
"...But...Everyone hates me," Lucifer said.
"The world forgets everything with time, you don't have to worry about that. These people who curse you today will love you tomorrow. That's just how fickle human minds are,"

"England tragedy detailed, watch tonight at nineteen, only on NewsToday,"

"Well, at least the news channels got something to talk about other than X-DROID victims," Ben said. Lucifer got up and walked out of the laboratory. He walked up into the basement and looked at Valorie sitting on the sofa. He hid his eyes,

Valorie got up and clapped his hands, "Congrats, Lucifer. You proved it today that you are nothing but a monster," His Swiss accent was dominant.
Lucifer remained quiet and clenched his fist and his eyes.
"You didn't hesitate at all before taking such a major step? God! You couldn't possibly be any worse! You are nothing but a fucking pain in the arse,"
Lucifer looked at him, "I didn't want to do it, Valorie. I was in a frenzy,"

"Lies," Valorie shook his head.
"No," Lucifer grabbed his hands but Valorie pulled back, "Don't. Just don't touch me with your dirty hands," Valorie left at once. Lucifer flew in the sky and as people looked at him, they cursed him and threw stuff at him as he flew. He dodged everything until something hit his stomach and he fell. And as he did, people grabbed him. He struggled under a huge mob where everyone wanted to kill him. Some people filmed it from skyscrapers.

Ben dropped his coffee cup and ran outside the lab. He met Valorie on his way,
"Lucifer is in danger!" He said as he ran beside Ben.

They scratched his skin and tore off his white robe. Scratch marks and bruises covered his body and pain took over. He tried flying up but they held his legs and drew their knives in his skins. He shrieked, "LEMME GO!" He shouted.
"GRAB HIM!"

Everyone there was in pain. The crowd was in a mental trauma while Lucifer was in physical trauma. Ben ran through the streets,

"No, Lucifer is not in danger," Ben said. By that time, they had reached the time square, "He is the danger,"

Lucifer's eyes glowed electric blue, "LUCIFER NO!" Ben yelled from a distance.
"I SAID LET GO!" Lucifer shouted. And a strong wind wave emerged out of his body, splitting everything around him into small pieces. Those who watched this ran away from him.

"LUCIFER!" Ben and Valorie ran towards him. Lucifer's eyes stopped glowing and he looked down at them while floating in the air in his white robe, covered in his green blood, "What are you doing?! You killed all of them?!"

"So?" He said.
"You literally just killed more than five hundred men in less than five seconds. What do you have to say in your defence, young man?" Ben crossed his arms.
"Oops?"
Valorie drew out his sword but Ben had his hand. He walked towards Lucifer and looked straight in his eyes, "Lucifer, we do not massacre people-" He stopped abruptly.

Lucifer marked, "Do you realize how hypocritical you just sounded there, Ben?"
Valorie looked at Ben.
"It's okay. I will be the bad guy, Ben, no problem." Lucifer smiled and held Ben's hands into his, "You own me," He kissed his knuckles gently,

"So, use me,"

It was around this time President Barnes Benovolis died and his son, Dexter Benovolis took his place. He had always shown his intentions clearly towards Ben. But Ben was least interested in him. Homosexuality never appealed to him. Humans never appealed to him, at least sexually.

"Ben," Lucifer walked into Ben's lab, "Another gift from Dexter Benovolis-Who the fuck? Why does the president send you so many gifts?"
"Beats me," Ben took the gift box and threw it in the dustbin.

In one of the next few days, Dexter called for Ben for tea. He went there with Lucifer as his table companion, "Lucifer, behave yourself there. I don't want you to take any actions unless I tell you to," Ben told him repeatedly and Lucifer listened to him quietly.
"Hello, Benjamin! You haven't aged at all," Dexter greeted him. He had always been extremely informal to him. Ben ignored his rude behaviour considering his high position, but he didn't promote it.
"Good genes," Ben smiled and Dexter asked him to take a seat.

Dexter looked at Lucifer. He wore a black turtleneck and a purple long coat with black jeans and black leather boots covering his shins. In his right ear was a silver hoop and in his right a spear-like black top. His hair was as black as ebony and his eyes as blue as a burning blue universe.

"So, that is Lucifer?" Dexter said as Lucifer sat with them. He didn't seem to like Dexter a lot either. But his face was neutral all the time. He diverted his attention on the food, though, after his surgery, his appetite had decreased manifolds. Dexter sat beside Ben, shoulder to shoulder while Lucifer sat across them on the small round table decorated with flowers, cookies, cakes and tea. The moon lit up the huge pedestal at the mansion they were sitting in.

"This is so unnecessarily posh," He rested his right leg over his left and took a sip of the tea. Staying with a prince for a year had certainly fixed some royal mannerisms into him naturally. A small water fountain was planted at the centre of the table from where he could see the reflection of Dexter.

"Yeah, that is him," Ben said.
"Well, he is certainly one handsome, young boy. I expected him to be more brute like and all big and muscular, you know,"
Ben laughed, "I don't think that suits him. He looks good as he is,"
"Who can tell that this boy drowned England!" Dexter laughed.

Lucifer laid the teacup on the table and got up, "I kinda feel unintelligent sojourning in an area of an IQ so cheap and vulgar, I'd like to take my leave,"
"Lucifer!" Ben rebuked him but Lucifer walked away into the huge mansion.

Ben smiled at Dexter, "Forgive him, he's a bit immature and rash. He's still in his primes,"
"Surely, I expected him to be as such," Dexter's brown eyes shone under the sun. Ben took up his cup and took a sip. His pink eyes were cast downwards. He looked into the cup, averting his gaze from Dexter. He felt him get up, "Finally, we are alone,"

The teacup dropped from Ben's hand.
