Chapter 982: The Last Words
The young man didn't leave this world after destroying it either. He sealed it in a separate space so it could never be found. For the entire universe, this world was destroyed.
The Baltics had a connection with their home world, so they were able to create stones that could open a portal back to this world. They used the energy of death to make it happen as well, only to fail at the last moment.
Through the memories, Lucifer saw something he found even more intriguing. The young man didn't fight anyone after destroying the three worlds. Instead, he sealed himself in this world. Lucifer also knew the reason.
In the battle where he destroyed the three worlds, the young man realized that he alone wasn't strong enough to destroy all his enemies. His talent was limited, and his strength was also not enough, thanks to him being poisoned in the battle.
The man could still fight and kill people, but he didn't want to be too eager and lose the opportunity to have revenge for a moment of anger.
He waited and started making preparation for this moment... A moment where he could get his goals.
He used the secret treasure of his people at last. The treasure was a treasure of time that could take a person back in time. Unfortunately, the treasure also had limitations. A person could stay back in time only a few hours, and in that time, he couldn't interact with anyone other than his past self.
He wanted to go back in the past to tell his younger self about what was to come in the future so that this calamity could be avoided.
Unfortunately, the treasure was really something that couldn't be controlled, as if it had a will of its own.
The treasure took him back in time, but not to the time that he was expecting. The treasure took him back in time to the moment, which was only a few days after him being born.
No matter what, he couldn't tell a toddler about the future. Even if he did, no one was going to understand. He also couldn't interact with anyone else or leave any notes behind to tell them. An absolute point in time was impossible to solve from what he could see.
Eventually, seeing no option, he decided to go with the extreme. If he couldn't stop the calamity, he at least wanted revenge!
He picked up the young baby right before his time was up, returning to his original timeline. This way, he created a paradox in time...
Since this war started because his father took him out on his birthday, he thought that if he wasn't even there in the past, his father couldn't take him out and create this calamity.
When he came back to his original timeline, he expected things to have changed, but the outcome was still the same. The only difference was that the past had changed slightly. Even though his father didn't hurt anyone in the Baltic Clan, the Baltic Clan still schemed against them and went forward with the annihilation. noVε/lB-1n
The man felt defeated. No matter what he did, he couldn't change the past. The only difference in the current timeline was that Lucifer's parents lost him in childhood, never knowing where he went even until their death.
Since there were two Lucifers, the man also felt as if the reality was starting to get unstable. There could only be one of them since they were a paradox.
To protect both of them for the moment, he decided to do something extreme. He decided to aim for their revenge through Lucifer.
He wanted Lucifer to get stronger so that he could transfer all his strength to Lucifer. With his strength, he believed that Lucifer was going to be the strongest being on earth, even though it also had the potential of making him a cursed existence.
To help him get stronger, the Ancient infiltrated even the Netherworld and stole the Holy Sword, leaving it with Lucifer in the Dungeons as soon as they appeared on earth. He left Lucifer on earth in the Dungeons, all so he could absorb the natural aura of the Dungeons to nourish his body.
He didn't expect Lucifer to be found by some humans who took them out of there. Things didn't entirely go as planned, but he had always been watching Lucifer, seeing how things went.
Even when Lucifer was killed in the lab, it was he who awakened the Ancient Bloodline of Lucifer to bring him back to life. The man had been helping Lucifer without actually coming before him since the moment they did so; the reality was going to remove the paradox on its own.
Before that could happen, the man transferred all his strength to Lucifer, as he started disappearing from this world forever.
The man didn't say anything. He only watched Lucifer gain his Power as his body disappeared.
"I took you away from your family, away from the life you were supposed to have, all so I could kill the bastards who destroyed our lives... I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me..."
The last words of the man echoed in the surroundings before his body disappeared.
The world of Baltics had appeared in the universe again, attracting everyone's attention while Lucifer was still lying on the ground as if peacefully sleeping.
It was only after he regained all his memories that he finally made a movement.
"Arghh!" He roared in pain and page, feeling as if his body was changing internally at the same time as breaking apart. He was becoming stronger, but this strength... It was painful... And so was seeing the life he would've lived if he wasn't taken.
He never saw his real parents, but seeing them in these memories, feeling their love, watching them die... He felt his heart shatter a thousand times.
"Arghhh!" His roars kept intensifying with time as all his powers ran amok.
