Roel frowned as a blurred figure surfaced in his mind.

Lukas Ackermann—that was a name Roel had heard far too often.

From a long time ago, Emperor Lukas had viewed him as an eyesore and forbade Lilian to interact with him. It was only after Lilian moved to the eastern border and built up her own military force that she was finally freed from his influence.

At this critical turning point, which would determine humankind’s fate, Emperor Lukas once again emerged as Roel’s stumbling block, as he competed with him over Sia’s Scepter.

Unlike Roel, Emperor Lukas, despite being the ruler of the largest human country, wasn’t on humankind’s side. He had shown via his partnership with the Fallens that he would stoop however low he needed to go to attain longevity and unparalleled power. Someone as selfish as him would never use his powers for other people’s sake.

“Lukas only has one goal, and that’s to become a god. But even if he succeeds, he won’t stand up on humankind’s behalf to oppose the Savior. If he obtains the power inside Sia’s Scepter, it’ll spell the end of the final plan,” Paul explained.

“In other words, we have to get rid of him first,” Roel concluded. “However, does Lukas have the means to absorb the power inside Sia’s Scepter? That shouldn’t be easy to pull off, since Lukas isn’t a Fallen himself.”

Lukas must have known about the difficulties involved in absorbing the Savior’s mana, having sieved through Paul’s memories as Charles Ackermann. He would have known that his power as an Ackermann wasn’t enough. He needed an edge, like Roel’s Sia-fication.

This edge could have been his close ties with the Savior, but Lukas couldn’t be a Fallen, as he couldn’t possibly have concealed the Fallens’ conspicuous aura when he was often in the limelight. This meant that he couldn’t capitalize on this edge.

By this train of thought, Lukas wouldn’t be able to absorb much of the power inside Sia’s Scepter. However, Paul had an unexpected answer to that issue.

“Lukas is indeed not a Fallen, but I suspect he has a Fallen Brand
