Yes, you're right, I didn't quite understand what Lucifer's speech means. however, I meant that physically you can create very little in modern civilization, unless you are an SS millionaire then this is another matter. Indeed, at least when the civilization was Gaulish, Celtic, two primitive but functional structures could be created where to live at no cost, and also live very free, so nowadays it is true that it is an intensive breeding of Souls, compared to how much freedom to create and do that the ancients had. Right now, if in a fight you hurt someone, complaints and even prison, in ancient times they could kill like this without consequences, therefore freedom to destroy. For example, a person defends himself but hurts, they also want monetary compensation with lots of complaints and bureaucratic messes, the ancients killed and washed their hands of it, now they want to become millionaires from the death of any one.
So yes, I say that with my mind I can destroy a person, but physically if I break something I would have big trouble, with compensation and all messes even physical prison, other than the ancients who killed themselves with swords, and did everything for honor and personal ethics of the group of warriors.
