It only happened for a split second but the impact was disastrous.
Several mortal spirits numbering in trillions upon trillions were knocked out cold across the Universe.
Those standing could barely cling on but felt their consciousness slipping away.
A very handsome man stepped out of the cracked space.
He wore a white out fit appearing both divine and charming.
Lucifer's gaze swept through the Star Universe and settled on the Star planet.
'A Goddess and who..'
"Summoning a Goddess in body is not an easy feat, Empress Sophia. Quite a wise choice you made." A soothing voice not feminine but relaxing spread out making the devils tremble in excitement.
The Empress looked up her gaze unwavering at Lucifer who didn't appear to be in a hurry.
"What do you want?" She asked. This has been bothering her for a very long time. Though there were some clues, everything didn't make sense to her atleast in her perspective.
"Curious, huh. Your not worthy to know." He said pridefully.
"Oh how so, then who is worthy."
A voice came, dangerously too close but he didn't panic one bit.
"I never thought the Olympians care greatly about mortals this far Titan Goddess Asteria." He said with a smile.
The Goddess's body gave off a powerful light and she moved.
Lucifer looked at the approaching figure in contempt.
She appeared too slow and fragile in his perspective.
The speed of a peak Dao Immortal existence was too terrifying that in a blink they crossed millions of galaxies.
But...
Before those at the very Peak, she was at a tortoise speed.
His pale hand stretched out towards her heart but just as it reached a few inches, he felt a tight grip on his neck.
His vision darkened. Everything happened too fast that everyone stood baffled.
The most shocked were Asteria and Sophia.
Asteria for not being able to even take a glimpse of what happened and Sophia for the terrifying speed and quick reaction as she realised the lazy man had disappeared somewhere.
"Who is he really..." She was utterly astonished.
Far far away from the Star Universe...
Swoosh Boom
Two figures appeared in the void. One was casually tossed towards a dead planet.
Booom
"Your too weak to be called a Supreme being. Anyway come and spill the beans."
Emriel caught the hand which appeared behind him shattering the void like glass.
"Who are you?"
The once soothing voice sounded both hoarse and baffled.
Lucifer knew for sure the other party was a Supreme realm existence like him but the difference in strength was too frightening that he doubted his senses.
They now stood thousands of miles apart. The sky was dark and silent accompanied by a cold chill about to freeze any being to an ice sculpture but they didn't seem fazed at all.
"Who or what I am is not important. Do you think reaching the Legendary realm above the Peak is necessarily about boosting power alone." He asked looking at the Devil progenitor, Lucifer.
Lucifer, a prideful and arrogant Devil smiled.
'I doubt you will be able to survive my attack, idiot.' He sneered in heart but his facial expression didn't change.
"No one knows the actual truth as those who have reached it already left or are unwilling to disclose the secret. I have already reached the bottleneck of Immortal realm for millions of years. I must do this." He said his face lacking any sympathy for the souls that perish at his hands.
To him, killing and devouring trillions of innocent souls was nothing. He desired mortal souls as they were very pure.
'Letting off a fool is always a tough choice it seems.' Emriel thought bitterly.
A pitch black domain engulfed them in a split second. The gravity was amplified tenfold and space was compressed to an extent that every where hundreds of thousands of miles spatial cracks stretched.
Lucifer's appearance completely changed.
He grew taller at 5 meters tall taking on his Devil form with a red skin and probing horns, cold pitch black eyes like an abyss.
The aura he gave off was tyrannical and oppressive that the celestial bodies were reduced to dust.
His power was surging at its peak with the Authority of Darkness running wild.
Thousands of massive dark spears pointed at Emriel. Their points sharp and glinting.
They struck the moment they appeared.
Boooooooooooooom!!
The voice shook and some parts shattered.
The attack was catastrophic that space was riddled in 'wounds'.
His heavenly eyes pierced through the space but was immediately surprised not to see Emriel around.
'Is he dead...'
He felt his hair stand on the neck as a Earth shattering punch connected successfully with the back of his neck.
Swoosh
He shot up like a rocket breaking the sound barrier.
Lucifer's eyes bulked seeing a figure in front as he hadn't regained his momentum.
Boooooooooooom
He was struck down, this time brutally and unforgiving. Each punch heavier than the last. Not by anyone but a being he came to realise was fat stronger thought they were both at the Peak.
Eyes didn't have the luxury to track their movements as they moved too fast.
Though a split second had passed, Lucifer had a miserable appearance after receiving over thousands of climaxing punches.
Emriel was releasing his pent up frustration on him after waiting for days in order for this fool to show up from his hiding.
"You aren't worthy to make me use my divine Authority on you. You took my kindness for granted."
Lucifer was suspended in space, battered and utterly defeated. No laws used. No abilities. No cheats. Just pure and raw strength.
"Lets seal you first. But for how long..." He appeared troubled eyeing the tall figure floating in the void.
"Lisa, any idea."
{You can do whatever you want with him. The law of causality won't dare to attack you. You know this better than anyone.} Lisa said a glaring fact that the two understood very well.
"Maybe he can be useful to me in about 500.. 1000 years.., huh. Don't disappoint me little devil." He said and tapped Lucifer's head twice.
A golden glow flashed.
Emriel disappeared. Everything reverted back to how things were before they arrived. No trace of him was left except Lucifer.
After who knows how long, his eyelids fluttered.
A pair of pitch black eyes pierced through the void.
The owner of the eyes disappeared like smoke.
Emriel who appeared apparently in another dead Universe looked up at the golden sky.
Golden chains shot out and rushed towards him at the speed not seen by mortals.
Silence.
They halted the moment they reached a hundred miles away and immediately shot back at an astonishing speed making Lisa laugh heartedly.
"Why do you always like to scare the causality, poor baby." Her voice reached his ears but he had already gotten used to it.
"I just wanted to test out his worth but this is morethan enough."
"Heaven always values its sons and daughters. You could have gotten an astonishing amount of Karma from killing him." She said remindingly.
"It's all fine for now. I can't go on killing every one because I can. Tell me what is the last thing remaining." He asked flying aimlessly.
(Those wondering how he beat a fellow Supreme existence easily. Follow the story well. You will be able to discover who he is, how broken he is and how the Cosmos reacts to his presence.)
