Chapter 65: The Only Host, An Apology
.....
"Hey, system. You are all knowing, are you not?"
BLING!
[Ding! Although I do not know everything in the Boundless Verse, I am vastly superior to the likes of what your monkey mind is capable of comprehending!]
RUMBLE!
Lucifer's Half-Step Nascent Soul-level aura exploded outward in great immensity!
In but an instant, the surrounding ten mountain ranges started to shake and crumble underneath his might!
Before his violent aura could alert his grandfather, father, and the rest of the powerhouses, he reeled it in and took a deep breath. Slowly raising his head, he calmly said, "You are so right in your excellent deductions! If only I had half the computing speed that you have!"
Lucifer buttered the system up with a few flowery words before switching tactics as his face turned distraught. "But with such high intelligence, I do wonder if it's possible for you to keep an active tracker on my Body Refinement progression…? If not, then forget about it. After all, this is quite the tough task-"
[Ding! This can be done.]
'Gotcha, bitch!'
Lucifer inwardly smirked.
[Ding! The host is currently at 2.5% of the refinement mark for 'Pre-Copper Rank'. Reach 100% in order to officially start treading the path of Body Refinement.]
Lucifer was satisfied with the insanely fast progress, figuring that it would likely take no more than 5 minutes for him to reach the Copper Rank.
"Seems like my Cultivation Talent is unique, as it not only affects my Qi Cultivation, but also my Body Cultivation. With both of these included, I do wonder if it is the same for Mind and Spirit Cultivation…? Maybe even Arcane and Divine Cultivation as well?"
Lucifer was definitely jumping the gun, but when he achieved the necessary cultivation level, he wanted to verify if his speculations were accurate.
However, for now, focusing on the Qi and Body Cultivation Paths was good enough for him.
"Speaking of my Qi Path… Hmm, system, could you bring up my current Qi cultivation mark?"
[Ding! If you say please.]
"...Please… Bitch…" Lucifer whispered the last part under his breath, clenching his fists until the whites started to show.
[Ding! I don't think you mean it! Maybe try saying it again!]
Tick!
"Maybe suck my dick, you dumb slut! How many other hosts have you had over the years!? I'm sure the number is astronomical! So why don't you put your loose hole to use and tell me what mark my Qi Cultivation is at!?"
Lucifer nearly let his overwhelming aura out once more but quickly found the restraint necessary to not strangle a motherfucker.
[Ding! The Qi Cultivation Path percentile is at 53.4% of the Early Foundation Establishment Realm. And for your information, you are the first host that the system has ever had…]
After getting out this pop-up, the system interface slowly faded away.
Leaving him as the only one in the area, Lucifer couldn't help but think that he was being framed as the bad guy in this situation…
"Tsk… That damn system… Why is it so annoying??"
He walked away from the scene with a few huffs and puffs.
As he kicked a few pebbles out of the way, and if one were listening close enough, then they would hear the faint mumbles of what was most definitely an apology.
In that instant, a system interface nearly materialized. However, before it could further fluctuate, it vanished.

Step Step
As Lucifer walked away from where he just slaughtered a good chunk of his family, he took a glance at the system notifications bombarding him.
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed 15+ Golden Core Realm Cultivators of the Devilduke Family. The reward is 120 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed 8,500+ Devilduke Family Members at and below the Core Formation Realm. The reward is 25 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed 23,000+ Cultivators of the Water Nation. The reward is 150 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed 20+ Water Lords of the Golden Core Realm. The reward is 200 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed off all your aunts, cousins, brothers, and any other extended family. The only ones that still remain are your father, mother, and grandfather. Your mother and her bodyguards are on their last legs fighting against two of your clones.]
[Ding! There is one additional member of your family still alive… Your 8th Youngest Sister. The system has not been instructed to kill her, so the clones have not killed her. As for her location, she is hiding out in the pit of a valley, attempting to escape her useless family once and for all.]
"Ahh, so that is why she was not with Father and the rest. Seems like she is quite the special existence." Lucifer suddenly had a flash of inspiration pass through his gaze. He clicked a few things together inside his mind.
"If I go about it in this manner and go meet the Fire Emperor like this… Umu! This will work!"
Lucifer was originally going to kill everyone in his family and then leave for the Royal Capital and become the rightful heir of the Devildukes. But with the presence of his 8th Youngest Sister, he had another path to take.
"Should this plan succeed... well, it should take no longer than a month for the 'Fire Nation' to become 'My Nation'. Naturally, after this is accomplished, all the loot- people of this nation will be mine to do with as I please."
All Lucifer ever thought about were the benefits, and this was now the perfect opportunity to acquire those benefits!
He just had to reach out and grasp it!
"It looks like it's decided; my first stop shall be my lovely 8th sister, then my dear mummy, and finally my big, strong father. Umu!"
With everything lined up for him in just the right way, Lucifer vanished from his position and leaped across the land. With each step he took, his body was thrown hundreds of meters off the ground. In a way, he was no different from the hulk!
The only difference being that he was far more refined and handsome than the hulk was!
(Or so he thought.)
