Chapter 864: Over...
"You at least had a reason to kill us because we offended you. But that bastard came out on his own, destroying everything. If only one of you can die, I hope you kill that bastard for destroying our lives!" Licorice's last words echoed in the ears of Lucifer before his body disappeared completely.
Licorice's body turned to dust which flew with the air, ultimately disappearing. All the beasts that had come to attack Lucifer were also destroyed, along with all the beasts that had escaped Dungeons.
Not only did Lucifer kill the beasts that had attacked the cities, but he also sent some of the Dragons to destroy all the Dungeons once and for all. It wasn't because he had any enmity with empty Dungeons but simply because he wanted to spend some of his vessel strength which was refusing to die.
Even though the destruction of Dungeon took a lot of energy, it still wasn't enough. He was still a long way off from spending all the excess energy that was destroying his body, and he had nothing to do, which was still left.
He observed his trembling hands. Despite using so much strength, he still wasn't even close to an end.
"What more can I do?! At this stage, this will never end until my body is destroyed completely!" Lucifer exclaimed, frowning.
He did all he could do, and it still wasn't enough. What else could he do that was within his ability and was very energy consuming.
"Time and space..." He exclaimed, coming up with an urgent idea. His skin had started cracking up already by now.
He didn't know if his idea was going to work or not, but he knew that it was going to consume an earth shattering amount of energy just to attempt.
He looked towards the dark clouds above him and shot up. He kept flying up without stopping. His figure flew past the lightning and the clouds. Thousands of Dark Dragons remained in the sky, circling.
The humans were scared of the Dragons who had Killed all the Dungeon Dwellers. Even after all that, the Dragons were still circling above everyone's head, and made him feel uneasy. Were the Dragons going to kill them next?
Even the Warlocks who thought that there was a Summoner behind the Dragons waited eagerly, wondering when the man was going to reveal himself.
"Why isn't the Summoner coming out? Isn't the battle already over?"
"I don't know. Maybe there are still some Beasts left, and he doesn't want to show himself? We need to wait."
Jian stood outside his mansion, looking at the sky. He had a feeling that Lucifer was behind all this. The problem was that he didn't know where Lucifer was. Lucifer wasn't showing himself.
The Variants who had survived thanks to the Dragons started helping others in trouble who were caught in the destruction. The Variants who had run away were regretting their decision. If they had waited a few minutes, they could've avoided the embarrassment.

They all ran to their family leaders to apologize.
"After abandoning the family and humanity, you come to ask for forgiveness? It's too late for that now. You have already shown your true faces. We have no place for cowards in our midst. You all are hereby banished!" Jian's father said authoritatively before leaving to check if everything at his home was fine or not.
There was just too much death and destruction all around the world, even though the war only lasted for a few minutes. Too many innocent lives were lost. Fortunately, it was stopped before things could get worse, thanks to Lucifer and his luck of getting the Vessel energy which he could use.
Lucifer left the Earth's atmosphere and ended up in space, surrounded by an energy bubble that kept him breathing.
From a great distance, he looked at the beautiful earth. He had already seen it from the spaceship, but for some reason, it looked even better now.
"If I succeed, it would be world changing to say the least. If I fail, I should still use all this excess energy," he let out as he raised both his hands and joined them
His eyes closed as a serene aura took over him. An illusion appeared behind him, which even he didn't know about. The illusion seemed to be making a giant clock. The hands of the clock kept moving slowly in clockwise direction.
After a few seconds of calm breathing, Lucifer opened his eyes and separated both his hands. A similar clock as the one behind him appeared in both his eyes. However, the clock in his eyes was moving in an anticlockwise direction.
Following his eyes, the clock behind him also started moving in reverse. Even the earth started spinning in reverse. The dark clouds disappeared. The people on earth, on the other hand, found themselves frozen in time, not knowing what was happening.
The lightning dragons disappeared with the clouds as well. ꜰʀᴇᴇ ᴡᴇʙ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
Lucifer could feel his energy depleting fast. It seemed to be working. Finally, his energy was depleting faster than his body was being destroyed.
The earth was changing, going through massive changes but all according to Lucifer. He was the god of time! Even if he was controlling everything, he decided to keep some things out of the manipulation.
His body was under a lot of stress. Even though he was using the energy of his, it was still too much for him to handle. He couldn't keep that energy in his body as it was harmful for him, but at the rate he was spending that energy, that was also harmful to him since it was putting a lot of stress on his time and space core.
His head had already started spinning, and his vision turned blurry, but he didn't stop. He kept going through it. His breathing slowed down. He started having trouble breathing, but he didn't stop.
He couldn't stop until he used everything if he didn't want to die. At the same time, he could only hope he would survive after using everything!
Unfortunately, it was too much for him to handle. His eyes slowly started closing as his body turned weak.
He knew that before he lost consciousness, he needed to go back to earth if he didn't want to float in space endlessly. He had already prepared multiple spatial portals all around him in case he lost consciousness along the way.
Ultimately, that's what happened. His eyes completely closed as his brain went to sleep. His body turned limp and started floating back on its own. The body touched the spatial portal in the back and disappeared.
