[3rd POV]
Staring upon the man, Lucifer sighed "How about we go somewhere else? I've got a feeling this conversation is going to be a lot longer and more important than what is appropriate for my home" Lucifer said, as the man chuckled and nodded.
"Alice, I'm stepping out for a bit! I'll be back soon!" Lucifer said, as Alice yelled an okay back to her, having heard who it was at the door, knowing that this was something Lucifer needed to do alone.
Shutting the door behind her, she stretched her power, as they were teleported onto the roof of the building, sitting at an outdoor table, the man began.
"So you have been avoiding me. I suspect it is due to my connection with your father?" "God" asked, as Lucifer leaned back.
"I understand that you're not my father. It's just a bit difficult to talk to you with him being, you know, gone. I'm assuming you're one of his creations? Or perhaps a fragment of him or some sort?" Lucifer responded, knowing that it was time to finally talk to the man.
"Fragment is partially correct, yes. I and all the other "Omnipotent" entities out there were mere creations of the Almighty, with power so extreme that we seem omnipotent to outsiders, and yet we are not, for only one omnipotent entity can exist" "God" replied, giving her a nod.
"So, what should I call you then? I can't call you God" Lucifer asked, as the chuckled.
"Call me Yahweh or the Presence, either works for me" The Presence replied, as Lucifer nodded. She knew she was in the Arrowverse multiverse, and he was the God of that multiverse, meaning he was likely related to the Presence from DC comics.
"Can I ask why you're here?" Lucifer asked, as The Presence smiled. He expected a lot of questions, especially with what he was going to have to speak of within the next hour.
"I wished to meet the daughter of the almighty. The one in which is going to become the next almighty one" The Presence replied, as he continued.
"You are even more incredible than I had expected from his successor" The presence said, as Lucifer raised an eyebrow at all the compliments of a being far stronger than her.
"I appreciate the compliments, but that's not all why you're here, is it?" Lucifer asked, as the Presence looked at her in silence, before a soft sigh escaped his lips, as he leaned back in the chair.
"You know what is to come, correct? Of my children fighting, of my eventual departure for the other universe my wife has created, and the battle for my throne?" The Presence asked, as Lucifer nodded, causing him to continue.
"During that battle for the title of "God" I wish for you to take it" The Presence said, as Lucifer breathed in deeply, understanding the implications. As being the "God" of this universe, she wouldn't have the nigh-omnipotent power of The Presence, but she would be massively strengthened by the energies and powers from the Throne of Heaven, which would allow her to see throughout the entire Multiverse she was within. Heaven would be hers to command, and hell with it.
"Why?"
"Because as much as I love my children, you are the only proper choice. You are already destined to become the Almighty, but I believe it best you learn early how to work as God. Not only that, but you are already going to try and take over the hells of this multiverse, leaving my son Samael to travel without the previous burdens I had placed upon him. And I believe Heaven shall be the same way, ruled by the one destined to rule all of existence" The Presence responded, as Lucifer gazed at him in silence.
"And what does this mean for me? Do I have duties I must do?"
The Presence laughed "No, no. You only have to step in should an immense multiverse ending event take place. My children, and the system I had put in place, take care of everything of note. You would essentially gain all the power of being the ruler of Heaven, with no sorts of duties, besides doing what you already do"
"Well,I'd probably ask Amenadiel to take care of a lot of it either way, like I plan for Mazikeen and hell. So...I suppose I'll accept, I'd be foolish not to" Lucifer replied with a small smile, not minding the idea. As she could just create a clone to deal with certain duties if she had to. And she planned on eventually taking over the heavens in other multiverses as well, like Supernatural.
"Excellent. I'm glad you accepted. Now...to the other topic I am here for, one infinitely more important than becoming the Ruler of this Multiverses Heaven" The Presence said, as a rare look of seriousness formed on his face.
"And so, let us take this somewhere...else" The Presence said, as their surroundings changed, and she was pulled into a large space like area, as she silently began to listen to the man.
"I will tell you of a story...a story of the greatest secret in existence...a story of the very beginning, nay, what came before"
"When the almighty God that presides over all of creation was born, he did not merely "Create" he was but a child with unparalleled power, and no one else to show it to. The concepts that bind reality were but a future endeavor for him, as he instead, lay within the infinite void that he was born of" The Presence began, voice booming as a light formed in front of her, the light of a man...no, a being completely and utterly coated in light.
"And then, one day, he began to create existence as you know it. Concepts were born, stars were given life, and life soon came to his creation. That is what many believe, what all beings believe. And yet...it is not the truth. For there was another, a being born before existence, his first creation, his greatest creation" The Presence uttered, as another small glow formed in front of them, a small figure, akin to a baby.
"A child, an incredible, incomprehensible child born from their own power, from them. And yet...something was wrong. This child was...incomplete, for even the concept of a soul hadn't existed yet. It had all the power, but none of the sentience. And so, he began to create souls for the child in hopes of giving it life, and yet, none of it worked" The Presence said, as the figures began to move, showing as the figure of her father created small glowing balls and tried to insert them into the child, and yet, none of it worked.
"And so, he realized that this child's soul could not be "Created" it had to be grown, born, just as it had been. With this realization, he realized that for the soul to be born, he would have to strip the child of it's incredible power. It was with this power that he created and created and created. The first multiverse born of the child's power, and not his own. A multiverse of infinite creativity and humanity" The figures moved again, as a large galaxy like construct formed, the incredible glow of the child depleting as the multiverse was born from it.
"With the child's power depleted, it was time to "Grow" the child. And so, he took its tiny, insignificantly small soul, and he sent it off to a world, descending upon the world in a mortal form, as he raised it in it's new and weak form, the human form" The figures changed, as her father changed into a kind old man with a long beard, and the child changed into a beautiful baby with bright golden hair, and beautiful emerald eyes.
"And yet...it was lonely upon this planet, so very lonely. All that existed within it was the mindless beasts of old. And so, he introduced the possibility of life being born upon this planet, and with it...came the Mother of Humanity...Eve" A new figure formed, a teenage girl the same age as the golden haired girl, short with a bright smile on her face.
"It was from them that the first humans were born, and it was from them that the story of Adam and Eve was created. But...one life was far from enough for the child's soul to grow into its full potential. And so...he began anew, in a new life with his child" The figures changed, her father changing into a woman in this life, while his child was black of hair.
"Within this life, Eve had followed. A pure and incredible chance, she had been reborn at the same time, reborn in the same universe, alongside her beloved Adam" The figure of Eve was blonde of hair this time, taller and with a warm smile on her face.
"But one or two lives were not enough. And so...they began to be reborn over and over and over, with the beloved first born never reaching its full potential, never aging past 16 years of age" The figures changed as lining up with Adam, Eve, and her father were incomprehensible amounts of lives, all different in appearance, all unique, and yet, always together. Some were in armor, some were in magelike clothing, some were warlords, some were tyrants, some were kings, some were doctors, and yet, they always were seen together, always together.
"Many years passed, so many that humans do not have a number for it. Multiverses perished and omniverses were extinguished. And yet, the original remained, the creation of the child. And it was within this multiverse that they continued to be reborn. But finally...God came to a realization"
The figures changed to show a tearful God as he stared down at the bundle in his arms, as he spoke "I am sorry my child but...this is for your own good, for you to become what you are meant to...this must happen. But just remember, I shall always be watching over you, and I shall always love you"
"And so, God was forced to leave his child alone, and have their beloved be reborn in a different place, for none could interfere in their growth. And so, he watched as they grew, as they struggled, as they adapted, and as their soul began to flourish without his influence. Until the day came when it had finally reached it's growth"
The figure of her father stared down, a laugh escaping his lips as he understood "It's finally time!"
"With his power, he brought them to him, and gave them a gift using the last remnants of the child's power, unknown to them, for they had lost all memories of previous lives. Unknowing of who they were, or who he truly was" The Presence said, as Lucifer breathed in sharply.
"The child grew thanks to the gifts, and became powerful once more, and finally, the day came for them to know the truth. For them to know who they truly were" The Presence spoke as the figure glowed.
"FOR THEY WERE THE FIRST STAR OF CREATION, THE ONE TO BRING THE FIRST MORNING, FOR THEY WERE..."
"LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR"
The space shook with power as the figure showed Lucifer her own reflection, causing her to step back, tears beginning to well up in her eyes for the first time in a long time, as realization hit her, as she began to rethink every moment of her new life, of the opportunity she was given, of the love from her father, and finally it all made so much sense. For...she had always been his daughter.
"You were never a lucky soul child, you were never a simple human. You always have been, and always will be Lucifer Morningstar, the true daughter of God, and his greatest and first creation" The Presence spoke with soft eyes, as the figure changed once more to show a smiling god, nay, billions of them, staring down at bundles within their arms.
And they all spoke the same thing.
"I love you my daughter...my little morningstar"
Tears streaked from Lucifer's eyes as she cried full powerful tears for the first time in years, sobs wracking her form as she broke down, the Presence softly moving forward and hugging the woman who now understood the truth.
"M-My memories...what happened to them?" Lucifer asked, as she looked up at the Presence, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Every fragment of the almighty was given the ability to activate and return the memories of the First Star of Creation, should they ask of it. For even we wished for a child like you, every Lucifer in existence, were but pale imitations based off of our own need and desire for a child, for a Morning Star" The Presence said, as Lucifer breathed in deeply, and looked up at him with a determined glint in her eyes.
"Give them back to me. I-I have to remember. I have to remember my father, my Eve...my Alice" Lucifer said, as The Presence smiled softly.
"So you understand? My knowledge on your beloved is limited, but I know that you believe it was a "SoulMate" bond that brought you together. But...how could such a thing ever bind the daughter of God? Nay, it was your very soul recognizing her, and hers yours. You two were always together, and always will be. She is to be the Queen to your King, the Eve to your Adam...the Lilith to your Lucifer" The Presence said, as Lucifer realized more and more how many things seemed so...out of place, and so many more things made so very much sense.
"Now I shall return them to you, Star, but I must warn you, not all of your lives were good, and not all of them were pleasant. But your father NEVER allowed anything too terrible to happen to you or your beloved, in fear of damaging your soul" The Presence said, as Lucifer nodded, and closed her eyes.
He moved forward and placed a singular hand on her head, and softly whispered.
"...Remember"
And then...it all came flooding in.
The memories of her father, of her first life. The memories of countless wars, of countless death, of even more life. Of countless things learned, of countless lessons taught. Of the bedtime stories, of the kisses on the forehead, of the hugs as thunder boomed, of the lessons taught, of the food crafted. Of the man who cradled her in his arms when she was sad, the man who took care of her when she was sick, of the man that watched over her in every life. Of...her one and only Father.
The memories of her Eve, of the love, of the warmth, of the dates, of the tragedy, of the first meetings, of the first kiss, of the marriages, of the first lesson, of every moment of her life with her beloved, her Eve, her Lilith, her Morgana, her love, her light, her love. Her...Alice.
And so so many more memories, of the wars she fought, of the battles she won, of the battles she lost, of the things she created, of the sciences she crafted, of the miracles she brought forth, of ruling, of killing, of saving, of life, of warmth, and most of all...of love.
Slowly, reality began to shatter and crackle around her, as with her memories came her true age, and with that, came the activation of her "Age Improvement" ability, for with everydays lived throughout her incomprehensible amount of lives, she gained more power. And with that, came the divinities that she was so rightfully owed.
The Divinity of Creation
The Divinity of Space
The Divinity of Stars
The Divinity of Memories
The Divinity of Joy
The Divinity of Childhood
The Divinity of Rebirth
And...The divinity of Reincarnation
As the power flowed through her, The Presence watched with a warm smile, as her figure glowed a brilliant light, and her eyes began to slowly creep open. Within them held a new light, the light gained from countless lives, the light from remembering everything.
And with that light, she stretched her arm out, as space shattered, and she walked through. Leaving the Presence alone, as he chuckled and left, off to deal with some bratty children, happy for the daughter of God.

Within an infinite void, the figure of God lay still, only for a smile to form on his face, as space cracked in front of him, and Lucifer stepped through, a smile on her face, as the man looked at her.
"You remember now, don't you child?" God asked, as Lucifer simply walked forward...and hugged the man, softly uttering the words he had been missing for so very long.
"I love you Dad"

That's the end of the chapter!
And here it is! The big twist/reveal! To all of you who complained about the soul mate thing, this is the truth of things!
Lucifer is the true daughter of God, the first, and the only true one. The beginning and the End. And Alice is her one true wife, the one who has always, and always will be her wife. For they had always been together, and always will be.
Lucifer is now Multi-Universal in power, and encroaching on the realm of Multiversal.
She will likely stop receiving 5 powers per season soon, as there is simply no point anymore. I think I'll have her get 5 final ones within her meeting with her father, and that'll be that. I hope that's okay with everyone! But it really is time that she uses her own power to grow from now on.
Anyways, have a good day!
