Chapter 65: Alpha x Lúcifer (1)

Present Moments...

Lucifer attacked Darkness and the Creator with a burst of life energy mixed with his own divine energy. As he attacked them, Lucifer reflected, "Hm, they must be too busy to pay attention to me, but that's good. But then again, what am I going to do when I become God? Will I make the angels my servants and the demons my toys? But what will I do with humans? They really should be extinct... Well, I will think about that when I become..." Suddenly, Lucifer stopped reflecting, and his eyes widened in shock when he saw that Darkness had opened her eyes, but the strange thing was that Darkness was not with her black eyes.

"Huh, why is she awake? Don't tell me that my father has already been defeated? But it hasn't even been an hour!" Suddenly, Alpha snapped his fingers and conjured a protective shield around him and said formally, "Hello, Lucifer. I see that you are trying to destroy my creator. You seem to be using life energy to alter Brian's soul to create an entrance to the true form of the darkness and thus defeat it. It's not a bad plan, but you forgot to calculate that my creator would not let you act freely in your moment of..."

"SHUT UP!" Lucifer shouted angrily, not putting up with that formal, slow voice.

"You, as a being who thinks you are perfect, should not be ignorant. Ignorance has caused wars, revolutions, uprisings, attacks, terrorism, hunger, misery, disease, crime; in short, the cause of all the misfortunes that make us suffer and..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! WHERE IS THE DARKNESS? WHY DID THIS THING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS COME INSTEAD OF IT?! WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Darkness is busy, and answering your question, I am Alpha, a perfect life created by a perfect being. I have a heartless and emotionless personality, and my goal is to fulfill the wishes, plans, ambitions, and goals of my creator. I don't care about anyone except my creator. Everything to me is garbage, except my creator. You, the devil Lucifer, are without a doubt the most imperfect and contradictory being I have ever met and a clear threat to my creator, so be proud that you have the honor of dying by my hands."

Lucifer was slack-jawed upon hearing all that information, but he didn't let it shake his mentality and asked, "You say you are going to kill me? You? A mere soldier is saying that you are going to kill the devil? Are you serious?"

"I am totally serious."

"Sigh... I can't believe that a being who has just been born is already thinking about facing the devil.... Am I a joke? How did he create you? As far as I know, only the Creator had the power to create life."

"As I said before, my creator is perfect. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants."

"Sigh, okay! I'll kill you soon, and then I'll kill your beautiful and perfect creator."

"Impossible. By my calculations, it is impossible for you to defeat me without breaking your seals completely. There are still two seals left, and you will die before you can break the penultimate one."

"Hm, you know that if the Creator dies by the hands of the darkness, all the seals break, right? Perfect Lord, pfff."

Alpha started to analyze all that information and calculated the estimated time in which the darkness would defeat the Creator. After doing all the calculations, Alpha said as he put his hands together, "I have exactly 5 minutes and 27 seconds to destroy you."

"Then come."

"Sigh, now I need to find a way to turn off that berserker mode of his," Charles spoke as he watched Asura trapped. It felt as if he were holding a huge lion with a dog collar. Charles knew faithfully that this was temporary, so he had to find a way to stop the berserker mode and kill Asura before it was too late.

Asura was immortal in his berserker mode, so there was nothing that could make him die while he was in that mode. But fortunately, Charles had an idea at the last minute.

Suddenly, Charles released all the chains that bound Asura and reflected, "The berserker mode is nothing more than a defense system against death. Just like the pufferfish that inflates itself to look bigger or the octopus that releases its ink to blind predators, the berserker mode will only remain activated as long as Asura's life is at stake. But when it's no longer at stake, the berserker mode will be deactivated, and he will be able to die. But I will only get one chance..."

Author's note:

Asura's defense system: Asura, when he is close to death, his body instinctively starts releasing adrenaline along with his energy uncontrollably. The mixture of these two things causes his body to heal itself even though it is not injured and gains strength, speed, agility, senses, etc.

Because he has so much energy, his body cannot release it as if it were releasing air. So his body is forced to spend this energy that is being released uncontrollably. Otherwise, he would die because his body would overload by consuming all the energy and explode.
