Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 1022 Carnage
Lucifer tried to do something he had never done before, but he knew that it was possible. His future self had done something similar, bringing his younger self from the past to the future to save his life. But now, things were different.
The surroundings became chaotic as Lucifer started to manipulate the time itself. The sky turned dark. Gusts of wind whipped through the air, causing objects to fly in different directions. The roar of thunder echoed in the distance, signaling an approaching storm.
The buildings that had survived the onslaught before came crashing down. Only the building where Lucifer stood was still left standing.
It was a total carnage, as if all the remnants of the civilization on earth were being removed. Lightning fell all around earth and thunder roared in the skies, amplifying the chaotic destruction.
Lucifer's aura also intensified as he tapped into the unfamiliar power. Feeling the immense energy surge through his veins, he clenched his fists, feeling his entire body burning.
He could hear the sound of destruction outside, but that didn't sway him. His domain kept increasing in size.
The building where he stood started going back in time. The rotten walls were slowly recovering. At the same time, his domain spread. While outside the domain was complete carnage, inside his domain, there was only silence.
As the energy continued to flow through him, he was healing his surroundings. The once shattered windows were now whole, the fallen debris stacked back into place. Unfortunately, just this much alone brought too much pain.
His mind felt like it was splitting apart and his energy cores were getting unstable.
"Just a little more... Just a little more!" He roared, the time in his surroundings kept moving back, albeit slowly.
After a short time, the room was finally back to how it used to be. The portrait on the wall had returned to its place and it was now clear. He could also see something else.
Blood trickled down his eyes, turning his vision completely red, but he could still see something vaguely. On the bed, there was a person. It was his father who was asleep. As for his mother, she was sitting before a desk, writing something.
She couldn't see Lucifer or even realize what was happening to her surroundings. Lost in her own world, she was penning down some intricate thoughts.
With his parents in his sight, Lucifer was certain that he was close to his goal. Just a little more and he could stabilize this timeline. Everything could be back to the way it used to be. All he needed was a little more time.
Unfortunately, time was the last thing he had as he coughed blood. His heart had slowed down to the point that it was barely hearing. Even the core of time was overwhelmed with the terrific amount of energy that it was linked to.
Although it allowed his core to be used in ways like never before, it also overwhelmed it. Slowly, cracks started developing on the Core of Time. In all the pain Lucifer was in, he couldn't see that cores had started developing in his core of time.
Lucifer's Domain had now spread all around the earth and was extending even farther into space. The terrifying storm appeared to be paused in time. Even the lightning that had fallen from the sky was stuck in the middle akin to time being stopped.
The lightning bolts moved in reverse, disappearing inside the dark clouds. The winds started going in reverse.
As the air grew colder, time itself seemed to rewind. The buildings that were destroyed also started taking shape. The dried up seas appeared once again, the earth slowly regaining its life.
Unfortunately, as earth was regaining its life, Lucifer was growing weaker. The cracks on the Core of Time were now covering it completely. The energy still kept forcing its way inside the core to maintain its domain.
With time going in reverse, the letter that Lucifer's mother had almost finished writing was also back to the start with not even a single word being written.
His mother stood up and moved in reverse, walking closer to Lucifer. Lucifer still remained out of time's control, unable to be seen by her.
His mother stopped right next to him, looking at the portrait on the wall. She opened her lips to speak something. Lucifer hadn't heard her voice in such a long time. It had been over a year yet here he was, standing next to her.
Crack~
Before Lucifer's mother could even speak a single word, a cracking sound resounded. The Core of Time cracked from the middle. In the blink of an eye, it shattered into a thousand pieces.
The shards of the Core of Time scattered in all directions, causing ripples and distortions in the fabric of reality. Lucifer and his mother were enveloped in a blinding light.
A loud explosion of time and space shook the entire earth as the Domain shattered completely. The entire world was surrounded in a white light, spatial cracks developing all around the world. The entire world appeared to be swallowed by the destruction that it was barely brought out of...
....
An unknown amount of time passed. Lucifer's body was buried under the rubble of the building where his family and friends used to live. Only his hand was visible through the rubble.
There were heavy burns on his hand, and strangely enough those burns weren't healing.
For a long time, there was no movement. The world had gone completely silent. Not even the wind dared to whisper its secrets in the desolate silence.
The once bustling city now lay abandoned, with empty surroundings, as if this world had been abandoned for millions of years.
Even a single blade of grass couldn't be seen in the world and it was clear that nothing could ever grow in this lifeless world. The scorching sun mercilessly scorched the barren earth, leaving it desolate and bare.
