At that moment I realized that nothing is real peace

Chapter 10: Chap 10:End



Lucifer, after being blocked by Seraphim's giant wing, did not show any signs of faltering. He took a step back, his crimson eyes flashing with a cold light. In his hand, an ancient and powerful grimoire appeared. The book seemed to contain all the darkest knowledge, a symbol of absolute destruction.

He opened the book, each page glowing with ancient characters that were automatically changing, forming a dense black aura that covered the entire space. Lucifer raised his hand, summoning power from the depths of the grimoire.

"Seraphim," he said, his voice filled with authority and arrogance, "you used your wing to block my power, but you cannot stop this. This is the ultimate power, the absolute destruction of all laws, concepts, and magic. Everything will return to nothingness!"

From the grimoire, a giant black fireball began to form. It was not simply fire—the sphere was a convergence of all destructive energy, the essence of nothingness. The light from the sphere did not burn, but absorbed all surrounding light, turning everything dark and gloomy.

The sphere not only destroyed everything it touched, but also erased all concepts—magic, shields, and even reality itself. Fragments of space began to disintegrate before the sphere could explode.

Lucifer raised the fireball high into the air, the red light from his eyes becoming even brighter. "Witness, Seraphim. This is not mere power. This is the end of all, an absolute nothingness that even your balance cannot withstand."

He threw the fireball towards Seraphim with terrible force, the sphere hurtling like a giant meteor, trailing a black aura that enveloped everything in its path. Space shook violently, time seemed to stop, and the concept of reality began to crumble.

Seraphim watched the orb rush towards him, his giant eyes flashing with a cold light. "Nothingness, you say? But even nothingness is only a part of balance. Let me see if you have the strength to return everything to its true origin."

Seraphim opened a second wing, the light from the wing spread throughout the space, creating a powerful source of balance energy, ready to confront the absolute destructive power that Lucifer had just summoned. The battle between balance and nothingness, between light and darkness, now entered its most intense phase.

Seraphim stood majestically, his giant gaze fixed on Lucifer, unmoved by the destructive power that was rushing towards him. As the fireball carrying the essence of nothingness approached, he gently waved his wings.

With just a wave of his wings, the space that had been distorted instantly stabilized. Light and darkness, the concepts that had been erased, all seemed to be pulled back to their original positions, as if nothing had ever happened.

The giant black fireball, which was the embodiment of absolute nothingness, began to vibrate violently. The dark energies surrounding it were dispersed, its infinite power rapidly weakening. Bit by bit, the ball shrank, losing its inherent transcendent nature. In the end, it turned into an ordinary fireball, only emitting a faint light, not enough to burn a leaf.

"You call this nothingness?" Seraphim spoke, his voice resounding, both majestic and cold. "You don't understand, Lucifer. Nothingness is not destruction or annihilation. It is absolute balance, the beginning and the end, everything and nothing. And that... is within my control."

Lucifer glared at the mundane fireball, so angry that the dark aura around him exploded, but even that anger could not shake the reality that Seraphim had just balanced.

"Seraphim!" Lucifer roared, his voice filled with anger and defiance. "You only know how to sit on that peak, hiding behind what you call balance! But you don't understand anything! Your existence is a lie!"

Seraphim remained calm, her wings fluttering slightly, causing the surrounding space to vibrate gently but powerfully. "False, you say? Then prove it, Lucifer. But remember, every action you take only proves one thing—you cannot break the balance, for you are still a part of it."

Lucifer clenched his sword, the aura of the seven original sins within him began to boil again, but this time, there was no complacency like before, but instead, anger and a desire to prove himself. "I will break this balance, even if it means destroying everything!"

The battle was not over yet, but it was clear that the Seraphim was not an opponent that ordinary power, even from Lucifer, could easily overcome.

Lucifer, standing in absolute rage and pride, decided to break all limits. He clenched his sword tightly in his hand, his eyes glowing red like hellfire, and dark energy began to flow from his body.

Without any restraints, Lucifer unleashed all of his magical energy. The amount of energy was not just enormous—it surpassed all concepts of limits, beyond the so-called infinite.

The surrounding space began to distort madly. Dimensions overlapped, disintegrated, and were recreated only to disintegrate once more. Fragments of reality floated, spinning around Lucifer like celestial bodies being sucked into a bottomless black hole.

"Seraphim," Lucifer said, his voice filled with authority and madness, "do you think that balance can stand against this power? I will show you the truth. When this energy is fully released, even the concept of balance that you maintain will be destroyed and redefined under my feet!"

Each wave of power from the seven original sins merged with the exploding energy. The light of pride, the fire of anger, the darkness of jealousy, and all the other sources of power merged into one, creating a giant energy tornado. The energy swept away everything around it, as if the entire reality was being erased bit by bit.

Even the light from Seraphim's wings was affected by this energy. The balance of space and time began to falter, the fragments of natural laws unable to maintain their original shape before the power that surpassed infinity.

Lucifer stood there, like a god reshaping the universe with his pure power. "I will not just destroy you, Seraphim. I will remake it all in my image, a world without your false balance!"

Seraphim, still standing in his light, looked at Lucifer with calm but piercing eyes. "Beyond infinity, you say? But even beyond infinity, you cannot overcome the fact that you yourself are part of the balance I maintain. Come, Lucifer. I will prove it."

The battle was no longer between two entities, but a clash between absolute chaos and eternal balance. The entire universe, the entire concept of existence, was now on the brink of survival.

Seraphim, standing in the midst of the chaos created by Lucifer, remained majestic and unwavering. His giant eye began to glow intensely, radiating a light that seemed to reach the very edge of the universe. "Lucifer," Seraphim's voice rang out, as sharp as a blade piercing through space, "you have challenged the order of things. Alright, I will show you what absolute justice is."

Immediately, Seraphim's four giant wings opened completely, each wing emitting an endless stream of light, each light carrying a separate meaning—balance, order, beginning, and end.

The light from the wings not only shook space, but penetrated every layer of reality, causing the entire universe to seem to bow before this power. All the chaotic energy that Lucifer had unleashed began to be restrained. The space that had been distorted by his power was now slowly returning to a state of stability, as if reality was no longer under his control.

"Justice is not power, Lucifer," Seraphim said, his tone no longer threatening but absolute. "Justice is the ultimate balance, the harmony of all concepts, the true nature of the universe. And that... I represent."

Seraphim's giant eye opened wider than ever, a pure and absolute light shooting from it. This light was not destruction, but an almighty judgment. It affected not just space, but the very nature of all that existed.

Lucifer, even at the height of his power, sensed the real threat. His dark aura, which had once transcended infinity, began to be destroyed and reshaped under the power of Seraphim's justice. Each of the primal sins he summoned—pride, envy, anger—were pierced by the light, as if their true nature had been stripped away and rendered null and void.

"Do you think you can redefine everything?" Seraphim continued. "No, Lucifer. The law was written in the beginning, and I am its keeper. Prepare to receive judgment!"

With four wings spread wide, the light from Seraphim gradually filled the entire space, preparing for a final blow of absolute justice, beyond any concept Lucifer had ever known.

Seraphim, with his giant eye shining and his four wings spread wide, pronounced the first punishment. His voice echoed throughout the space, as if the entire universe were witnessing the execution of a judgment:

**"Lucifer, you who have sinned against balance and order, shall now be judged by Absolute Justice. The first punishment: The Scales of Truth."

Before Lucifer, a giant scale appeared, shining brightly as if it were forged from the essence of light and order. This scale was not a mere object; it existed in every plane of reality, every dimension, and every concept. The weight of the scale not only measured sin, but also imposed the essence of balance on all things, even those that were beyond the laws of nature.

"Every sin of yours," Seraphim declared, "will be laid bare and placed on this scale. And the weight of that sin will force you back to your most primal state, where your existence has no meaning."

A beam of light radiated from the scale, creating a colossal pressure that filled the entire space. The energy from that pressure not only attacked Lucifer's body, but penetrated his soul, his will, and his very being.

Lucifer roared, his dark wings spread wide, trying to resist this overwhelming force. "I am Lucifer! I am not bound by any rules! Do you think you can force me to my knees, Seraphim?"

However, the scale began to tilt. Lucifer's sins, from Pride (Superbia) to Envy (Invidia), Greed (Avaritia), and all the others, were revealed and placed on the scale. Each sin carries a terrible weight, pressing down on him more and more.

The space around Lucifer begins to collapse. Each higher level of reality—from the multidimensional—is weighed down by the scales, layer by layer, not by sheer force, but by the very nature of balance.

Lucifer feels himself being pulled down into the lower levels of reality. His limitless energy, which could break the laws of nature, is now meaningless before the sheer force of the scales. Bit by bit, he is pushed down to the lowest level of reality—0D, where there are no dimensions, no time, and no concepts of any kind.

"You were once at the top, Lucifer," Seraphim says, his voice even but sharp as a knife, "but now, you will feel the absolute void, where you have no power, no sin, no existence."

Lucifer, now crushed by the weight of the scales, roared one last time in rage and helplessness as he was pushed to the lowest point of reality. The Scales of Truth continued to glow, judging and reshaping his existence, preparing for further punishments from the Seraphim.

Pushed to the bottom of reality—0D, where no concepts or dimensions existed—Lucifer still refused to yield. In the absolute darkness of nothingness, a faint light slowly flashed from his hand.

It was his sword, bound to Lucifer's arrogant nature and indomitable will. The sword, containing the power of the seven original sins, was not just a weapon, but also a part of his soul.

"I will never kneel before anyone, not even you, Seraphim!" Lucifer's voice echoed throughout the empty space, like a defiant declaration.

Lucifer's sword began to glow brightly, the symbols representing Superbia (Pride), Invidia (Envy), and Avaritia (Greed) burning on the blade. A dark but eternal power gradually radiated from the sword, breaking the emptiness of the 0D layer.

"This reality cannot hold me! I am Lucifer, the embodiment of rebellion and freedom!"

He raised his sword high, activating the power hidden within it. The blade acted as a passage between the layers of reality, tearing through space and time. The raging energy currents, overcoming all barriers, began to pull Lucifer's body up from the lowest layer of reality.

Each layer of reality, from 1D to 10D, was quickly torn apart as his sword exploded with power. Lucifer was pulled straight back to the Seraphim's layer of reality, where the absolute light and ultimate balance of the Seraphim still reigned.

The Seraphim, with cold eyes, watched Lucifer reappear before him, his wings fluttering slightly. "You dare to return here? Your sins will only become heavier."

Lucifer, with fiery eyes, stood tall before the overwhelming light of the Seraphim. "I do not need your judgment, Seraphim. I define myself! You may be the embodiment of justice, but I am the embodiment of defiance! If you are balance, I am the destruction of that balance!"

Each energy wave from Lucifer's sword mixed with the dark aura surrounding him, forming a storm of energy ready to destroy everything, even the absolute justice that Seraphim represents. The battle between the two absolute entities has only just begun, as Lucifer is determined not to back down before the omnipotence of Seraphim.

Seraphim, after witnessing Lucifer break the bond and return, his wings fluttered slightly, emitting a dazzling light. The giant eye on his body emitted a powerful light, surpassing the light of any celestial body.

"Lucifer," Seraphim's voice rang out, filled with authority and irresistible power, "your arrogance has led you beyond seemingly impossible limits. But now, you will feel the power of the Second Punishment: the Absolute Sword."

Before Lucifer, from the light of Seraphim, a sword appeared. Unlike ordinary weapons, the Absolute Sword was not only a tool of destruction, but also the embodiment of ultimate judgment. This sword governed all concepts, all laws, surpassing the concepts of existence and non-existence.

The blade shone brightly, each line emitting a pure yet cold light, exuding a pressure that shook the entire universe. It does not exist in just one reality, but in all dimensions, all times, and all concepts simultaneously.

Seraphim raised the sword high, its light spreading, freezing everything around it in absolute balance. All the chaotic energy from Lucifer, all his dark aura, was extinguished by that light, as if it had never existed.

"The Absolute Sword cannot be stopped by anything," Seraphim declared. "No concept of defense, no law, no protection can stop it. It is the embodiment of pure justice, beyond all limits."

Lucifer clenched his sword, his eyes burning with unquenchable arrogance. "Do you think that just because you have that, you can make me submit? No matter how powerful your sword is, I will still shatter it and prove that I am above you, Seraphim!"

But just as Lucifer was about to strike, Seraphim swung the Absolute Sword down. A burst of light erupted, shapeless, but with the essence of ending and reshaping everything.

The blade did not strike Lucifer's body, but pierced through every layer of defense, every shield of energy. It struck at Lucifer's very existence, shattering every layer of will, every definition of power, and every concept he represented.

Lucifer roared, feeling the overwhelming power of the sword, something that even the aura of the seven original sins could not withstand. The space around him began to collapse, as if his entire reality was being pulled back into the absolute balance that Seraphim had determined.

"You may be the embodiment of disruption," Seraphim said, his gaze still cold and sharp, "but even disruption must be within the order that I maintain. Now, Lucifer, feel the power of absolute justice."

The battle is no longer just a clash between two entities, but a clash between Lucifer's concept of superiority and the Absolute Sword's absolute dominance.

Seraphim, eyes filled with the majesty of absolute justice, swung the Absolute Sword towards Lucifer. The blade glowed, making no sound as it swung—only the feeling of reality being warped, as if cause and effect and fate were being pulled backwards.

Lucifer roared, his dark wings spread wide, trying to create a final defense with all his magical power. But nothing was strong enough to stop this sword. It pierced through every layer of protection, every concept of defense, and finally pierced straight through Lucifer's body.

The light from the sword spread, enveloping the entire space around Lucifer. Each layer of his power—from the seven original sins to the infinite energy he summoned—began to dissipate, as if they had never existed.

"You have been arrogant for too long, Lucifer," Seraphim said, his voice cold but devoid of any emotion, as if he was reciting an irrevocable verdict. "The Absolute Sword not only ends your existence, but also erases all traces of you in cause and effect, fate, and the memories of reality."

Lucifer knelt down, his eyes burning with anger and disobedience. "I... am Lucifer... the embodiment of rebellion... how can you erase me...?" His voice grew weaker, but still full of defiance.

However, even his words were destroyed by the sword. The blade not only killed his body, but also completely destroyed his soul, will, and essence. The cause and effect of the existence that Lucifer once represented was now reversed, as if he had never existed in any timeline or dimension.

Finally, the light from the sword gradually faded, and Lucifer's body completely dissipated into nothingness. There was no trace left, no power left to recover or revive him.

Seraphim retracted the sword, his cold eyes staring at the empty space where Lucifer once existed. "It is finished. One who does not follow order has no place in the balance of the universe."

Space returned to a state of peace. The absolute justice of the Seraphim had been served, and Lucifer—the one who once defied all concepts—now existed no more, forever erased from the presence of all realities.

After the light from the Seraphim's Absolute Sword completely extinguished Lucifer's existence, Kai—now no longer possessed by the Lucifer personality—suddenly fell into an empty space, without light or sound.

"Am I... dead?" Kai muttered, his voice filled with fatigue but also mixed with a bit of serenity. He was ready to face his fate, accepting death for entrusting his body to Lucifer.

But as soon as that thought appeared, a blinding light enveloped him. Unlike the overwhelming light of the Seraphim, this light was gentle yet powerful, as if it was pulling him out of the darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, Kai found himself standing in a completely different space. Valhalla, where legends said that heroes who had fallen in battle were summoned to live forever.

The sky was ablaze with the light of distant stars, great warriors from all ages and worlds gathered, majestic castles and endless fields stretched out. The sound of singing and the sound of swords hitting shields resounded like an epic.

Kai looked around, completely stunned. "Am I... alive? No, this is not the world I know..."

From afar, a tall warrior, wearing shining golden armor, approached. He had sharp eyes and the aura of a god. "Welcome, Kai. You have been chosen to enter Valhalla, the place for brave warriors."

Kai was surprised, still unable to understand. "I... I should have died. Seraphim, Lucifer, all... Why am I here?"

The warrior smiled. "You have faced the impossible, sacrificed all to confront a power beyond your understanding. Whatever the outcome, your heart has proven resilient and your will has surpassed what the ultimate beings could have expected. For that, you are summoned here, to the place of the unyielding souls."

Kai still couldn't believe his ears. "But I am no hero... I made a deal with Lucifer... I failed..."

The warrior placed a hand on his shoulder, his eyes filled with sympathy. "Failure does not define a warrior. What matters is that you stood up, fought despite knowing the outcome might not change. That is worthy of Valhalla."

Kai looked up at the brilliant sky, feeling the majestic atmosphere and peace he had never known. A sense of relief gradually spread through him.

"So I still have a chance," he whispered, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with determination. Whether this is Valhalla, or a new beginning, Kai knows his journey is not over yet.
