Lucifer quickly took three steps back, staring blankly at the four notes in his hand.
Glancing at the city ladies he'd just shaken off behind him,
Lucifer clenched his fists and crumpled the notes into balls.
With a flick of his fingers,
Whoosh~~~!
The notes shot into a trash bin with a sharp whistle, denting the aluminum lid.
The notes were nothing but invitations to Room XXX at Hotel XXX on Street XXX.
These touring ladies were from well-off families, at least by ordinary standards.
However, in that brief encounter, they'd inadvertently converted quite a bit of energy for him.
After shaking off the ladies,
Lucifer continued walking down the street, still drawing attention.
Soon, a square shopping center came into view.
The surrounding area was lined with commercial streets.
Lucifer strolled past an electronics store, where a large TV was broadcasting news of Tony Stark's abduction and disappearance.
The U.S. was offering a reward in dollars for any useful information.
"Hello, are you looking to buy something?"
Lucifer had only been standing there for a moment when a female sales clerk approached him.
Perhaps she'd noticed him even before he stopped.
Seeing Lucifer ignore her and continue watching the news about Stark,
The sales clerk opened the conversation: "It's been over two months since Tony Stark disappeared."
"The U.S. has been searching for a long time but has found nothing."
Finding nothing was expected.
Tony had disappeared in Afghanistan.
The U.S. couldn't deploy heavy radar systems there for a search.
Their efforts were constrained and inefficient.
Coupled with the remote location, lack of electronic signals, and Obadiah's interference,
It was no surprise they hadn't found Tony.
"Thank you."
Lucifer glanced at the sales clerk, nodded slightly, and left.
Captivated by his starry eyes, she stood frozen until he was out of sight.
In a secluded spot,
Lucifer began setting up his angelic technological abilities.
"In the macrocosm, the universe contains dark dimensions filled with dark energy."
"Dark energy records all data surrounding the primary biological dimension."
"When not absorbed or used, it can be stored almost indefinitely."
"The Insight Eye can parse dark energy through the dark dimension to access all past and present information."
[Ding~!]
[Angelic Civilization Technology Setup Successful]
[Insight Eye: Consumes energy to parse dark energy in the dark dimension, accessing all past and present information.]
[Angelic Civilization Creation System]
[Angel: Lucifer (King of Angels)]
[Technologies: First-Generation Angelic Physique, Angelic Wings, Faith Energy Conversion, Insight Eye]
Success!
Seeing the successful setup, Lucifer smiled, his lips curling slightly.
This technology was incredibly convenient.
Next,
With a thought,
To outsiders, Lucifer's eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of sacred white light.
But in his vision,
He looked around, instantly knowing everything that had happened here in the past few days.
Tourists taking wrong turns,
Someone stepping inside for a smoke break, and more.
However,
Before long,
Feeling the energy he'd just gathered nearly depleted, Lucifer quickly deactivated the Insight Eye.
This skill consumed too much energy,
Nearly exhausting what he'd just collected.
"Such energy consumption—I'll definitely need to harvest more energy before leaving."
Harvesting was simple.
The concept of angels already existed in this world.
Though interpretations varied, Lucifer merely needed to appear in a prominent place to harvest some energy.
It might not be much, but it would be enough for his needs.
With a thought, his twin wings reappeared, glowing with feather-like fluorescence.
Lucifer flapped his wings and flew toward Dubai's tallest and most famous tower.
It was the center of urban tourism—the Burj Khalifa.
Standing over 800 meters tall, it was the city's iconic landmark.
Shortly after,
At the tower's pinnacle, Lucifer descended slowly, like a feather drifting downward.
His wings deliberately emitted a phosphorescent glow resembling snowflakes.
In no time, the crowd's attention was drawn to him.
Even nearby birds began circling him.
His natural charisma and angelic aura were irresistible,
Drawing even animals closer.
Could anyone see an angel and think they were evil at first glance?
Even if some did, it would be a rare few.
Whoosh~~~~ Click~!
Click~!
Click~!
The tower and the crowd below erupted in noise,
Accompanied by the crisp sound of camera shutters.
Lucifer could feel the energy conversion accelerating rapidly.
