Lucifer was wearing a black robe at the back of the hall.
In the past, he was a powerhouse of the Twelfth Universe. When James had not grown into a peerless powerhouse yet, they were rivals on par with each other. As time passed, James surpassed him.
Although not a human, Lucier was born in the Human Universe.
He had attended simply to watch the succession ceremony and was not expecting to be appointed as one of the Heavenly Lords.
After a brief shock, he recomposed himself and replied, “Thank you, Lord Jacopo!”
“Heavenly Lord of the Seventh Heaven, Helvius Daniela.
“Heavenly Lord of the Eighth Heaven, Silvester Daniela.
"Heavenly Lord of the Ninth Heaven, Xandros Tegan.
“Heavenly Lord of the Tenth Heaven, Yaraka Xenmour.
“Heavenly Lord of the Eleventh Heaven, Qusai Gael.
“Heavenly Lord of the Twelfth Heaven, Henrik Declan.
“Heavenly Lord of the Thirteenth Heaven, Kallinikos Yoav.
“Heavenly Lord of the Fourteenth Heaven, Jabari.
“Heavenly Lord of the Fifteenth Heaven, Quincy Xenos.”
…
The appointment ceremony proceeded for a long time in the main hall. Most of those assigned as Heavenly Lords were related to James or had contributed significantly to humanity over the years.
Maxine, on the other hand, was the only one to turn down the position and leave the Heavenly Court.
She was considered a powerhouse in the current age. Even though she lacked the strength to transverse the Chaotic Void to other universes, she could go anywhere in the Human Universe.
Maxine left searching for a spiritual mountain in a desolate area, intending to spend eternity alone.
After finally finding a place to settle down, a white light suddenly shone in front of her.
Swoosh!
A woman materialized from the light.
