The world had come to a halt. It was unclear how many days had passed, yet there was no movement from Lucifer.

Even after so many days, his wounds still hadn't healed and he remained unconscious. Even the Core of Time inside his body was destroyed, its small Fragments merging with his blood, slowly changing the properties of his blood.

During this time, Lucifer remained unconscious, buried under a rubble of fallen debris. There was no rescue team as he remained the only person still existing in this world. Fortunately, he was still breathing, albeit barely.

It was the middle of the night when finally some movement happened. Lucifer's fingers twitched, signaling a sliver of life in his seemingly lifeless body. As the faint pulse of energy surged through him, Lucifer's eyes slowly fluttered open.

He pulled himself out of the rubble, his clothes completely destroyed. His bare body came into sight, revealing the extent of damage he had received.

All over his body, there were wounds that hadn't healed. He was covered in blood that was yet to dry. A scar was also visible across his chest, leaving a deep trail of pain.

Despite the physical agony he endured, his face didn't show any signs of pain. In fact, his face remained completely blank, looking at the rubble under his feet.

He couldn't feel the Core of Time anymore. He couldn't control time. As he tried to process what had happened, a sense of despair overwhelmed him.

He sat down, seemingly lost completely.

"That's it. This is not real. This is a nightmare. I'll wake up any moment now... That's right." He muttered, refusing to believe that this was his reality. Too much had happened in such a short time for it to be reality.

He kept hoping to wake up from this nightmare as he remained seated. Unfortunately, no matter how many days passed, nothing changed. This was his reality.

His emotions were all over the place. He felt a mixture of anger, confusion, and sadness. It was as if a dark cloud had settled over his mind, making it difficult for him to see beyond the despair.

With every passing day, his hope dimmed as he came to face despair. This was his reality... A strange reality that he couldn't reject.

An entire month passed. Lucifer didn't move even an inch. He didn't eat anything either, yet his body was full of energy. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly light that he himself couldn't notice.

With every passing day, another strange thing kept happening. At an irregular interval, he felt his energy could berserk, enveloping the world and the space around it, devouring it completely.

He had no control over it. He could neither stop it, nor initiate it. It was as if it was his new reality now. Every time his energy went berserk, it devoured life out of his surroundings.

That devoured life energy was absorbed by his body in return, making him stronger. Every time his energy went berserk, the area it enveloped was larger than before.

Moreover, something else was changing about him with every passing day. His other cores, one after another kept getting destroyed, slowly merging with his blood and becoming useless.

In no time, all his ability cores were gone, including the ones he was born with. There was only one core left, the one that was behind it all.

With every passing day, Lucifer felt like he was losing his sanity. This was his personal hell. Every day, he found himself being swallowed by the darkness to the point that he found himself suffocating.

In the second month, he couldn't take it anymore and thought about destroying his last ability core as well, freeing him from this torment.

He stabbed his hand inside his own chest. His healing was completely gone, making it no different than suicide, but he didn't care. He just wanted this torment to end.

His hand stabbed his chest, trying to get to the ability core. He grabbed his heart inside which that ability core was lying. Even in such pain, Lucifer remained lifeless, his eyes seemingly dead.

He pulled his heart out of his body, crushing it right before his eyes along with the new ability core. As a burst of light filled the surroundings, something changed.

Lucifer found himself back in time by a few minutes, his heart again inside his body. No matter how many times he tried to destroy his ability core, nothing changed. Everything was always back to the same, time reversing every time.

His new ability core was chaotic yet it was mysterious. Although it destroyed the Core of Time, it had managed to absorb some of its characteristics, allowing it to reverse time by a few minutes every time Lucifer was on the verge of death.

That applied to when his heart was destroyed as well. No matter what Lucifer did, he couldn't destroy the only remaining ability core.

The earth was already destroyed, but with every passing day, its condition became worse. It was only a matter of time before the earth was going to completely disappear. The chaotic storm originating from Lucifer's body kept destroying everything it could.

One more month passed. Lucifer looked at his surroundings that were beyond recognition. Strangely enough, he also felt that the surroundings now looked familiar.

It was similar to what he had seen when his consciousness was sent inside the body of his future self. At that time, he never could've thought that this ruined world was none other than earth.

All signs of the previous civilization were gone completely, not even a single scrap metal left behind. Lucifer walked over the barren land, where even the sun couldn't be seen anymore.

The once-thriving cities were reduced to ashes, remnants of a forgotten era. This was his home.

While Lucifer was walking through the barren land with no aim, the main force of the Star Alliance arrived.

The entire earth was surrounded by the Star Alliance Ships. The space was once again sealed, this time leaving no escape.

All the Generals of Star Alliance were here this time, descending together.
