"The power of Lucifer’s alter ego best suits doomsday. But that is not all, The power of four archfiends are gathering here. It has a tendency to strengthen explosively, it’s power that grows infinitely. Copy skills, you say? That explains why are you copied Lucifer’s alter ego. Well, I’d like to see you try. Although, I would have grown stronger by then."
