He raised his right foot and stomped on Doctor Rao's head with great strength. 

His strength was so much that the skull was crushed to powders as the blood spread everywhere. Some of the blood even fell on his pants, but that's when the Cardigan Particles of his pants started to react. They absorbed the blood and cleaned the black pants again. 

...

A massive Ice Storm had covered the battlefield because Ayn was facing against Dion, who was using his S-Rank weather control to fight against Ayn's S-Rank Ice Control. 

As the Two S ranks powers clashed, large-scale destruction was happening everywhere. Anyone who stepped near them was getting badly injured, so not a single person was interfering with their fight. 

Xander, on the other hand, was facing Isona, and it even seemed like he was at a bit of an advantage when he suddenly stopped and jumped back as he glanced towards the Ice Tomb. 

He didn't know why but he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the direction of the Tomb which he found strange. This shouldn't have happened since there was no battle going on inside the Ice Tomb. The battle was outside. 

As he thought more about it, he soon realized something. 

"Lucifer isn't here! The Ice Tomb! You guys tricked us!' Xander exclaimed as he roared in rage. 

"Ayn! Lucifer is most probably inside the Tomb! I'm going in!" Xander yelled loudly, reminding Ayn to take over. 

"Not so fast!" Isona smiled as she once again appeared before Xander to stop him. 

"Get out of my way!" Xander said firmly as his eyes turned flaming red. 

He waved his hand, making a flame storm hit Isona, making her fly back and crash in the ground. 

"That was surprising. You really learned a few new tricks compared to last time," Isona said as she stood up, dusting her clothes. 

She looked towards Xander to realize that he was already gone. Xander was running towards the Facility. 

"I won't let you," Isona said as she also started running towards the Facility. 

In this whole commotion, both sides had forgotten that Vega wasn't here either. He was here at the start, but in the middle of the battle, he had disappeared. 

...

Lucifer had destroyed the skull of Doctor Rao, not leaving his body intact. 

As the machines were set, Lucifer also told Caen to start the procedure. 

And thus, the painful procedure was started, which made Doctor Layman experience the same hell that Lucifer and Doctor Rao had experienced. 

Doctor Layman lasted for even shorter, though. He died when the Pain Index was only fifty percent; Caen didn't even get a chance to increase it to hundred percent next. 

"Sigh, this guy was even weaker. What a disappointment," Caen said as he sighed. He closed that laptop and stood up. 

"Alright, Lucifer, how are you feeling now?" Caen asked Lucifer. "Finally, you are done with your revenge. Did you get the peace of mind you were hoping for?" 

"How do I feel?" Lucifer repeated the question as he glanced at the bodies of Doctor Layman and Doctor Rao. "I don't know what I feel."

"You have a lot of time to think about that. As for the future, I'm sure we can talk about that when we go back home. Come," Caen told Lucifer, telling him to leave. 

Lucifer started leaving the lab, finally putting this chapter of his life to an end. It was all over. The purpose of his life was completed, and now he was free, but he wondered if his freedom even mattered anymore?

His incredible healing made him Immortal, but what benefit did this Immortality bring to him now that his mission was over? He didn't have a family or anyone he cared about. As for humans, he couldn't trust any. 

He had a long life, but he was already starting to feel that his life had no purpose now. He was just going to think about his future alone. 

He already had a few thoughts in his mind. Leaving the country forever and traveling the world to find a place that could give him happiness? Or working with Variant Uprising to work towards a future goal that they both could agree with? Or just going into isolation and spending his life, doing nothing but just living.

There were many questions that he never thought about. He knew that he was going to need the answers to these questions even long ago, but he had left it for later since he still had a purpose at that time. 

Now that he had none, he knew it was going to be a long thought process. 

Caen and Lucifer stepped out of the lab and started walking towards the exit. Soon, they reached the turn where they were supposed to meet the rest of the team. 

Henrik and the others were already waiting for them there. 

"Those kids?" Caen asked as he squinted his eyes at the sight of many kids behind Henrik. 

"We found them on the other side of the lab. Apparently, they were being kept there, and they also dislike the facility. I believe we can help these little variants too," Henrik said, pointing at the kids in the back. 

"Other than them, we only saw some guards there whom we killed," he added. 

Lucifer glanced at the kids as well, who were of varying age, but all were older than him 

'Cheh, I wouldn't have taken such a burden on me at a time like this. We are in an emergency and need to leave fast. This Henrik! How did he make such a stupid decision?' Caen thought. 

'But I can't say no either. Lucifer is right behind. The impression of ours would fall face first in his mind if I did.'

"You did good," Caen finally said to Henrik as he nodded. 

"We can save these kids too, from the grasp of evil humans. But that also makes me wonder," he added. "If so many kids suffer in this one facility, how many of them suffer in other facilities in this city? How many in this country? How many in this world?"

As he talked, he seemed like he was genuinely expressing his concern, but in reality, he was trying to make Lucifer hear his words. 

"The humans have been destroying the lives of Variants everywhere while still using Variants to keep them safe! And it can only stop when we reverse the status quo and take the power back for us. If we don't, many Variants will die," Caen said.
