Born Sacred-Chapter 26: The Great Devil King!

"I know you probably suspect I’ve gone mad."

Lucian’s voice was low: "To be honest, more than anyone else, I want to kill Noah."

"It wasn’t just me; everyone in the future tried every possible method, made countless attempts, but we all failed. He is unkillable. When I awakened the fourth effect of my Talent, Time Travel, we once thought we saw hope of killing Noah. The future Noah was indeed unimaginably powerful, an existence completely beyond our comprehension, but even the most powerful person has weak moments; as long as I could travel back to when he was weak, I could kill him."

"Did you succeed?" Rose asked, and as soon as she spoke, she knew the answer.

If he had succeeded, why would Lucian have paid an unimaginable price to be reborn and return?

"I failed." Lucian’s answer was not unexpected by Rose: "I traveled back to one year after the mass awakening; at that time, Noah was only a Five-Order expert, not my opponent at all."

"However, when I found Noah and wanted to kill him..."

Speaking of this, Lucian stopped, a look of intense fear appearing on his face: "Noah wasn’t surprised by my appearance at all; seeing me, he said, ’You’ve come,’ and then, as if crushing an ant, he crushed the Eighth Order me."

Rose’s face showed shock.

A Five-Order expert crushing an Eighth Order?

Although she didn’t have a detailed concept of either the Five-Order expert or the Eighth Order, the two were still three orders apart... This was too outrageous.

"Two possibilities: either Noah has completed the unification of the timeline, meaning that no matter which point in time Noah is from, he is the one at his peak; he has no weak moments."

"Or he detected the change in the timeline, discovered my travel, and thus transmitted his power and will to the past."

"Regardless of which one, it shows that traveling to the past to kill Noah is impossible."

Rose was completely shocked.

The situation Lucian described was beyond her imagination.

Could an Awakener be this powerful?

"Ultimately, the only way we could think of to kill Noah was for me to travel back before the mass awakening, before the Supreme Will descended, when Blue Star had no supernatural powers and everyone was mortal, thus ending Noah at the root."

"This Time Travel was incredibly difficult, costing the lives of all the resistors to get me back to the day before the mass awakening, and I can’t go back again; this Time Travel is irreversible, I can only be reborn into my past self."

"I don’t need to tell you what happened next, right?"

"I failed and missed the only chance."

Lucian’s expression was calm.

After failing to assassinate Noah, he was indeed incredibly desperate and frustrated at first, but he was ultimately a warrior who had endured countless hardships under the tyrannical rule of the future Noah, was unyielding, and never changed his initial resolve, so he didn’t sink into despair.

"The wise men among the resistance told me before I was reborn that if my assassination failed, I should let go of all hatred and try my best to ’protect’ Noah, to keep him maintaining his current disposition, so that the tyrannical Great Demon King would never appear."

"Only Noah himself can kill himself."

"Not only that, but the strength of Starfall Country and Blue Star must also be as strong as possible; if they can counterbalance Noah, that would be even better."

Rose completely understood.

Looking at the expressionless Lucian, she couldn’t help but show sympathy.

For someone bearing a deep blood feud, such a complete transformation was too difficult and too painful.

"You don’t need to sympathize with me; everything I’ve done is not for personal revenge, I carry too much on my shoulders to be willful." Lucian noticed Rose’s gaze and said calmly: "Moreover, you are right about one thing, the sins committed by the future Noah cannot be attributed to the present Noah; he has indeed done nothing wrong now."

There was one thing Lucian didn’t say.

If Noah were an evil person or a selfish petty individual, he would definitely not have made such a decision, but would have opposed Noah at all costs and done his utmost to hinder his growth.

But, Noah was not.

...

After a frank and open long talk with Lucian, Rose walked out of the police station with a complicated mood.

Before coming, she would never have imagined hearing such shocking information; she knew too well how much turmoil and chaos this information would cause once it spread.

"Fortunately, when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up." Rose sighed slightly.

Although Awakeners were the future, and she, with her SS-grade Talent, was naturally one of the "tall people," at least for now, she didn’t need to bear so much.

It must be said that after hearing Lucian’s account, a strong sense of apprehension and fear had already arisen deep within her towards that terrifying Great Demon King.

These emotions even extended slightly to the current Noah.

Making her subconsciously want to stay away.

After submitting the compiled information, Rose officially performed her duty, leading the subordinates who had successively reported to the First Squadron, and began executing missions, slaying otherworldly monsters, and punishing illegal crimes.

Several hours later, Rose’s team, who had just slain an otherworldly monster that appeared in the downtown area, was stopped upon returning to the Supernatural Management Bureau.

"Captain Rose, Director Luke wants you to go to his office."

Hearing this, Rose’s heart skipped a beat, feeling something wasn’t right, but she didn’t show it and went to the deputy director’s office alone.

"The higher-ups have reviewed the information you submitted and have given instructions as quickly as possible." Luke didn’t say any nonsense: "The higher-ups’ view is that we cannot fully believe it, nor can we disbelieve it; no one knows if what Lucian said is true or false, or how much truth and how much falsehood there is in his words, whether he has a hidden true purpose; all of this is unknown."

"We should have our own judgment."

"Regardless, we still need to make contact with Noah first."

Speaking of this, Luke’s expression was a little strange: "This matter is of great importance, we can’t just find anyone; Captain Rose, you performed excellently on the mission regarding Lucian, so the higher-ups have decided to let you make contact with Noah; we believe you can complete the mission well."

Rose: "(Ω Д Ω)"
