Chapter 95 Devil 1

While Lucifer and his allies were delving into the mysteries of the Forest of Will, a deeper and more sinister process was unfolding within Lucifer's subconscious. Unbeknownst to him, a new consciousness was emerging, the consciousness of the Forest of Will's true owner. This being, once a formidable entity, had crafted the trials not as a boon or reward, but as a meticulously designed method for his own rebirth. The trials were intended to select a strong soul capable of withstanding and channeling his immense will. His original plan had been to be reborn across multiple souls, merging them later into a singular powerful existence. However, Lucifer's exceptional ability to absorb a significant portion of the Forest's essence made him an ideal vessel.
