A gem of the past

The twilight sky covered in destruction was visible from every corner of humanity's eyes. All the giant swords of heavenly damnation came out in a mighty red color thundering down simultaneously from above the equatorial sky.

Asyluminaz chuckled freely in the air as he witnessed the anxiety of all mankind who saw him.

"Yihahahhahhahahahahha... Look... How great is the power of a true God... There will never be a single human being who can match my power!... Demon Kings, Heroes, Emperors, and all the existences in this world are nothing -what's in front of me... Yahahahhahahaha...."

The giant sword of heavenly curse continued to spread in all directions.

"I am the God of the curse of death. Asyluminaz! ... Inhabitant of the 100th layer of high-level worlds ... Ruler of 3000 worlds of the multiverse ... Will soon destroy the world of the creator of the Goddess of Law Tarzatus at my will who has come to this world! ... Now, it's time to destroy everything!" He answered, grinning arrogantly.

"It's bad... The swords keep coming. What should we do, chief?" Sevila said worriedly.

"I don't know. It seems like there's no other way…."

"Leylia? What are you going to do?!" Kevin asked.

"Shut up... I can destroy it. You should know... There's no point in holding that sword other than destroying it with your Hypergear ability." Leylia answered as she closed her eyes as sky blue particles began to come out covering her entire body.

"B-but... Our Hypergear is still level 1. There's no way we can defeat that sword which has the law of immortality. The sword itself is already very far from our level... That's level 500, are you crazy!"

"No, I'm not crazy... You ask why?... Look at Lucia... She will continue like that if it doesn't destroy her... I believe in the power I have now... If you are afraid... You It's better to just watch from here."

.

.

"....I won't let it...."

Lucia was devastated by the powerful push which made her knees hit the ground at the same time as Ariel. Because Ariel's robot body itself is a reflection of Lucia who resurrected her.

*KKrrrkkKK!*

The heavenly giant sword continued to fight with ARIEL's heavenly protective shield to penetrate it.

"This world!... Why does the whole world have to be created with the suffering and pain of losing someone you really care about... Why!... Why, I can never catch up with him!... I'm just an ordinary doctor who doesn't have anything... Weak... Useless... Selfish... Talkative... A stupid woman who always admires him... But..." Ariel's shield slowly began to crumble. "….I beg you…Ariel…I will never—"

Suddenly, Ariel's body moved by itself. Rainbow star particles shone out of his hands as he rose from failure to become a success that became a reality.

The heavenly curse sword began to push, Ariel got up and started walking while holding the heavenly curse sword with both hands.

"Uh...?. Ariel?... Is that you?"

Ariel stretched her left hand back to Lucia as she looked at her.

"Ariel...?"

"...?!"

Suddenly, memories of Lucia's past emerged. White rooms decorated with blue glass tubes lined each side of the place. The blue ceiling that depicts the history of the past feels calm in the laboratory room.

A tall man wearing glasses gently put a blue gem necklace on Lucia who was in front of him. His face lit up because he could feel the happiness he always wanted.

"What is this?...Is this a gift for my birthday?"

"Yeah, you could say that. I don't know how to say it." While scratching his head.

"Hmmmmmm..." Lucia answered sullenly.

"So, yeah. Happy birthday, Lucia-san!... I really hope you continue to live in this world."

"Thank you... I will always take care of him..." A sweet face but not his mind which had realized his words. "But... What do you mean by continuing to live in this world?!... Are you going to abandon me?!... Dealing with this all alone without a genius professor like you?!" The answer was annoyed.

"I don't know... That is my hope, I want you to be able to continue living even though death has determined your path... You must be able to move forward even though you live alone... Can you feel it?"

"Feel what ..?" Suddenly, the first blue necklace glowed with bright white spots. ".... Eh..? Why can I suddenly feel something. It's like he's calling me... What does he mean?"

"Thank goodness if you can feel it. Now I can feel calm when you say it like that..." He answered with a gentle smile. "Uhukkkk... Coughkk... Then. I want to go back to check the portal... Maybe a little drink of warm milk will feel more comfortable."

"Wait a minute!! What do you mean by that?! Explain to me... If you are sick, don't force yourself like that. Let me take care of the portal to the world of the Gods... It's better if you just sleep."

Holding both shoulders.

He's too talkative.

"It's nothing. Don't worry... I'm healthy, it's just a normal cough. I can do it myself... It's better for you to take care of other things that haven't been finished yet... Do you understand?"

"B-but... What if your condition suddenly gets worse because you push yourself too hard?"

Chuckling softly. "....What are you talking about?"

"What's so funny?... I'm serious."

"No, no. Impossible... You think I'm going to fight someone who will make my pain worse? It's impossible, isn't it?... I'll just check it out for a moment. Don't think too much about it... Gini-gini I'm a former great runner , you know"

"Hemmmmmmmmmmm... It's true, you won't be fighting anyone... But!—"

"Sssttttttt...." The index finger pressed against her sweet lips while their faces were close to each other. "Now we don't have time. You understand, right?"

Feelings of pleasure and embarrassment mixed together which made her cheeks flush red.

Lucia just nodded.

"Good…." Pat Lucia's head gently. "Then... Bye..." He left Lucia alone.

Pouting. "Hmmmmmm... Why didn't he do it longer? Disappointed..." he continued thinking. "But, this necklace is too beautiful for me to have... I've never seen a blue first stone as beautiful as this. It's too special for me... I'm happy... Thank you, Ariel-san...." Lucia went the other way.

"....Uhukkk...Uhukkk..." Seeing the blood on the palm of his right hand that jolted out. "Blood?... It turns out it's true, I don't have time to stay silent. This is already the 7th time... I have to be able to endure it... After all, I have to complete the portal before this body is destroyed... It won't I wasted a formula that woman gave me... This has to be finished no matter what!"

A few days later ....

*BOOM!*

Loud explosions were heard in every corner of the laboratory hallway. A group of terrorist troops stormed the place quickly amidst the hot sun. All the troops flocked into the laboratory from various places like ants.

The sound of sirens immediately howled loudly in every corner of the laboratory room.

"Quickly secure and control this place. Look for the professor named Ariel Lzefont!... Ask everyone in this place... If they all can't answer. I allow you to kill everyone in this place! "

"Okay!"

The sound of the terrorist troops' thunderous footsteps devastated the place quickly. All the staff and laboratory guards panicked and ran away. Ariel, who realized this, immediately ran to another room to meet Lucia.

The room was silent, a distance from where the explosion occurred. Lucia was sitting pretty while writing the formula on her table.

Open door.

"...Lucia?!" Ariel approached him.

"What's wrong?... Why are you in such a hurry?... Y-you... miss me?"

The howling of sirens was heard.

"We don't have time. Let's get out of here right now!"

"Eh...?. Wait a moment."

Ariel immediately grabbed Lucia's hand and took her away from that place. The two of them continued through the long hallway and turned right.

*BOMB!*

Instantly, both of their footsteps stopped before turning to the right because of the explosion.

"Ahhhhh...."

"Please do not do that ...."

All the staff were running in disarray as seen from the right side. Lucia and Ariel saw this incident behind the wall of the hallway.

"Please do not!"

They ran and were shot to death by a series of bullets that killed them from behind.

"Everyone scatter! Quickly look for that person!"

".... What really happened? Why were the terrorists suddenly in this place? Did we make a big mistake that made them do this?"

"No, I don't know why they were suddenly here... I only saw the CCTV at the main gate. All the research rooms had been destroyed and secured by them."

"Sigh...." Lucia looked at the terrorists from behind the wall. "So what should we do?"

"Hmmmmmm... Wait a minute..." Peeking looked at the terrorist who was walking down the hall.

So ....

A woman innocently came out of the front door of the hallway where Ariel and Lucia were peeking. The short haired woman wearing round panda eye glasses saw Ariel and Lucia right in front of her. An innocent woman who had just woken up from her long sleep.

Rubbing his eyes. "...Eh?...What are you guys doing?"

"Sena... Can you lower your voice?"

"Is my voice loud?"

"Lower your voice... Sssstttttt...."

"Okay...." Nodding, answered in a flat tone. "But, what are you guys peeking at?... You're playing hide and seek, right?"

Sena was curious and stepped forward to see the hallway on the right.

"Eh...? Why are there so many men wearing black clothes and assault weapons?" Asked while looking at Ariel and Lucia.

And ....

"...?!!!"

One bullet shot quickly hitting his innocent head with the bulging eyes that led to his death clearly visible in front of Ariel and Lucia.

"Sena...?" Ariel stretched out her hand.

Followed by a series of bullets that destroyed his entire body horribly.

"...!!!"

"Check the place! It looks like someone is there!"

"It's bad... Looks like we're going to be discovered... Let's go!"

"B-but... Sena..?" Lucia's feelings were shaken by the glare on her face because she saw Sena die in front of her horribly.

Ariel immediately grabbed her face. "What are you thinking... Sena is dead!"

"....Sena..?" Pointing at him.

"Sigh..." Ariel immediately took Lucia and ran away by force leaving the dead Sena behind.
