Ch. 181 - Why he's called the Lucifer

[What is happening?! The heroes are being suppressed and the suicide bombers turns out to be the FBI? Talk about deception! Even I was deceived!]

[Look! Lucifer is walking towards the FBI agents! What is he doing? Isn't he affected by those weapons that rose from the ground? Is he finally showing his true powers?]

Seeing how Lucifer was very confident according to his posture when he walked, the reporter decided to intensify the situation and hype the audience.

Inside the Parr household, Helen was busy tending in the kitchen when her youngest child, Dash quickly shouted and called out to her.

"Mom! Mom! Come here, look at the tv! It's Lucifer!" Dash kept jumping on the couch while excitedly pointing his finger at the television.

Beside him is his sister, Violet who was quietly reading a book but because of Dash's jumping, Violet cannot read properly anymore and she quickly shouted.

"Dash, stop jumping on the couch."

"Bleeehh! What are you gonna do, you can't even catch me!" Dash blurted out his tongue at his sister and taunted her.

"Come here you!" Violet's anger finally exploded and she quickly used her powers to try and surprise Dash by capturing him.

Unfortunately, Dash's senses are just as fast as his speed, so Violet failed in catching him and just gave him more confidence which in return, he taunted her even more.

"Arrrgh, I hate you!" Under Violet's fuming anger, she violently placed her book on the couch and ran upstairs.

"Dash! Apologize to your sister!" Arriving at the living room when Dash was calling out for her, Helen witnessed how Dash bullied her elder sister.

"It's her fault for being a killjoy. Anyways, look mom! It's Lucifer!" Dash waved his hand and changed the topic to Lucifer on tv.

"Just apologize to her later or else you won't eat dinner today and didn't I tell you to stop watching Lucifer? He's a bad influence on you!"

"You mean saving people in need is considered a bad influence?"

"Y-...No, I meant when he ignored the government and the authorities." Caught off guard from Dash's response, Helen could only correct herself and admit her mistake.

"That just makes him more cooler! I want to be like him!"

"No, Dash! Not under my watch!" Helen squinted her eyes at Dash and warned him before shifting her eyes to the television to watch the current news about Lucifer.

'Hopefully, they haven't caught him yet, he's the only one keeping the crime rate from reaching the average rate.' Helen worriedly whispered to herself that is until her eyes laid on the tv.

'Aren't those Sonic Powered Cannons!? But they're only used by the Government against super criminals? Did a Super Criminal emerge agai-' Before Helen could continue her thoughts, her eyes suddenly caught the person in the middle of the Sonic Powered Cannons.

'The Heroes? They're using it on the heroes? And why does that man look similar to my husband?' Helen squinted her eyes at the hero with a huge build who calls himself All Might.

Wanting to have answers to her suspicions, Helen quickly took out her phone and called her husband. Knowing what his work is, Helen is sure that Bob would answer her call immediately.

But after a few minutes of ringing, Bob didn't answer her call, which further facilitated her suspicions.

'If that is Bob, then that guy with ice powers must be....Lucius!' Helen turned her eye to the other hero besides All Might, whose stature quite resembles Bob's only friend, Lucius.

'Oh Bob, if my suspicions turn out to be correct, I'll make sure you won't be getting out of this house!' Helen gritted her teeth in anger, which was noticed by her son, Dash.

"Is something wrong mom?"

"Nothing, change the channel to whatever but the news, Dash! And don't make me repeat myself, are we clear?" Helen snarled, making Dash quickly straighten his posture and saluted.

"Yes, mom!" Before changing the channel to cartoons immediately, this is the first time he's seeing her mother so angry.

"Tell your sister that I'm going somewhere." Helen said before pacing towards her room, under the curious gaze of Dash.

"Where are you going, mom? Should we tell dad?"

"No, even if you called him he wouldn't have answered anyway and besides. I'm just going to visit an old friend." Helen replied to him without turning around before silently muttering the last sentence under her breath.

"O-okay, be careful!" After seeing Helen enter her room. Dash quickly changed the channel back to the news and happily cheered to himself.

'Finally! The house is all by myself!'

Back to the Statue of Liberty, as Jin slowly approached the FBI agents who pretended to be suicide bombers, the said agents all quickly took out their weapons and pointed them at Jin.

"Don't move! Any step further and we'll shoot!"

Hearing the threat, Jin smirked and chuckled to himself mockingly.

"Go on. Shoot me....Right here." Jin replied and suddenly appeared in front of the FBI agent with his weapon directly pointed at his forehead before finishing his last sentence.

"You...." The FBI agent gulped his saliva nervously, not expecting Jin to approach him like this.

"What? Can't do it? Here let me help." Before anyone could react, the FBI agent's gun suddenly appeared on Jin's hand and pointed it at his forehead instead.

"Just like this."

Hearing his whisper, the FBI agent quickly raised his hands in surrender, feeling his sweat forming on his forehead and landing on the barrel of his gun.

"....But I'm no cold man. I'm a hero after all." Thankfully, Jin smiled and slowly removed the barrel of the gun from the FBI agent's forehead, making him sigh in relief.

"But I can be a villain if I want to." Jin continued and before the FBI agent could comprehend his words, his vision suddenly darkened as a result of Jin's telepathy.

"Who's next." After the unfortunate FBI agent fell on the ground with a thud, he then shifted his attention to the other FBI agents who quickly looked at one another before one of them ordered.

"Shoot him!"

*Bam!*

In a slow-mo, one of the gun's barrels, a bullet slowly came out with a little spark behind, slowly but surely heading towards Jin's chest.

All this is under Jin's vision. With how fast he can be, his reaction time is almost similar to a bullet time, where everything but him slows down.

Similar to the gun, the other barrels also released their own bullets, all with the same direction.

Jin.

"I wish I could listen to music while doing this but unfortunately, no music can keep up to my speed." Jin complained to no one and shook his head before stepping forward and approached the first bullet that was fired.

Jin then guided the bullet and changed its direction to one of the Sonic Powered Cannons, pointing them exactly inside its hardware system through a small gap.

He then moved and did the same to the other bullets and without further ado, time resumed back to normal.

*Bang!* x10

*Crack!*

*Boom!* x10

As soon as everyone reacted, the Sonic Powered Cannons that were keeping Bob and Lucius rendered, surprisingly exploded for some unknown reason.

"Sssss, looks like your aims sucks that you even destroyed your own devices." Jin didn't fail to take this chance to aggravate and mocked them.

"....Eh?" The FBI agents could only stare at the destruction of the millions of dollars of Sonic Powered Cannons that would surely penetrate through the FBI's fund and possibly make them lose their jobs.

Considering that almost anyone in this world could be killed by Jin with a mere flick of his finger, no one managed to see what and how he did those things. All they know is that the bullets somehow avoided Jin and targeted the Sonic Powered Cannons instead.

At the same time, thanks to the destruction of these cannons, Bob and Lucius could finally sigh in relief and take a small rest. Their ears are bleeding profusely and if they don't stop it in time, they might lose their sense of hearing forever.

Thankfully, Jin is there to prevent those.

Back to Jin, the FBI agents were speechless, not knowing what to say and react to their current situation.

Their cannons are useless and so are their weapons, what else can they do? Fight Jin with bare hands?

"Looks like you're all out of options. I didn't want to be completely against the government but if they continue this, I might as well become a Super Villain instead and trust me, even if you lift the Super Relocation Act on heroes, no one in this world can afford to stop me because I'll show you why I called myself Lucifer. Now, pass this message to whoever is your boss and get the fuck out of my face"

Jin purposely said to them loudly, to be honest even if they don't pass the message, the news chopper recording the happenings live to multiple channels is enough to pass them the message and also to the whole world.

"Now shoo." Jin smiled and pushed them away similar to how humans shoo dogs away.

*Footsteps!*

Not hesitating anymore, all the FBI agents quickly grabbed their asses and scurried towards the boats that they used to get here.

Meanwhile, the entire audience watching the news was speechless at the outcome of the events.

They're even more stunned by what Jin said which is more like a threat to the whole world that he's not like other heroes.

Inside the Parr household, Dash was watching the news and after hearing what Jin said, he can only mutter one word.

"Cool."
