Chapter 2 - Lucius (PART 2) [REVISED]

During endless space, there were 22 figures, 21 of them were squirming in immeasurable pain!

"LUCIUS! PLEASE!!! MERCY!!!!" - Rainali covered with black veins roared miserably in pain.

The other Supremes did the same, all begged for mercy or that Lucius would simply kill them, but Lucius would not kill them so easily, he would make them suffer so much in the same way he suffered from her loss.

"Do you feel that? It's nowhere near what I felt when you despicable beings used poison to murder me, but you ended up killing her!" - Said Lucius cruelly the murderous intention increasing every instant.

"IT WASN'T US! WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" - Rainali cried while begging.

"Weren't you? HAHAHAHAHAAHA! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! I ALREADY MET THE TRAITOR WHO TRIED TO POISON ME, I'VE READ ALL HIS MEMORIES AND DISCOVERED EVERYTHING!!!!" - Lucius roared madly as he looked at the 21 Supreme Ones.

"I DO NOT KNOW…" - Rainali roared lamentably as tears of blood flowed down his beautiful face, but it is not as if words were going to change Lucius' angry mind.

Smiling cruelly Lucius said. - How about we increase your sensitivity a little? - "As he finished his words, Lucius waved his fingers and illusory hands appeared around the bodies of the Supremes, pressing down on certain parts of their bodies and the next instant, their roars became even louder."

"Wait here while I finish some business." - Said Lucius cruelly as he disappeared from everyone's sight, they knew very well what Lucius would do.

"NO! PLEASE!!" - Rainali roared desperately what echoed throughout the Universe and Lucius heard, but he didn't listen.

In the next instant, explosions began to echo, everyone saw with their visions of Universal Gods, that entire Universes were being annihilated, countless living beings were dying in a matter of moments.

All 21 Supremes felt an immeasurable fury taking over their hearts, along with immense regret and soon they began to cough up blood uncontrollably, they quickly fell from a Universal God to a Nebulous God.

And then Lucius came back and saw it happen, he saw that the pain that all Supremes felt had intensified to the point that none of them was able to utter a word.

"All your universes and universal cores are destroyed, how do you feel having everything taken away from you? I felt the same when I held her cold corpse in my arms." - Said Lucius satisfied with what he did.

"But now I think it is the end…" - Said Lucius as he lowered his shoulders slightly, his gaze becoming extremely cruel and discouraged. - You took everything away from me and now I've done the same to you. - A cruel and bitter smile appeared on Lucius' lips.

Soon Lucius raised his hands and slowly the 21 Supremes began to disintegrate, but it was at an extremely slow speed, the pain you felt had already driven you mad.

[ENOUGH!!!]

Suddenly a roar echoed and soon the 21 Supremes in immense agony, breathed for last, dying with a somewhat relaxed expression on their faces.

Seeing this, Lucius frowned and soon looked up, there he saw a mass of light slowly floating, this mass of light soon stopped in front of him and said.

[Child, enough of this madness, you have already taken your revenge and there was no need to destroy 22 Universes, even if your beloved has perished, this is still no justification for exterminating zillions of innocent souls.]

Looking indifferently at the mass of light Lucius says. - "I don't care about anything anymore, I lost everything I had, my beloved perished in my place, my colleagues…" - Suddenly Lucius stopped and looked at three of the corpses of the Supremes. - They abandoned me... my servants killed by a traitor, who was also my most loyal servant, I don't care about anything anymore, if you came to end my life, I would more than thankful. - "Said Lucius discouraged and without strength."

A little pity could be felt from the mass of light and soon the voice continued.

[I understand, when I was a Mortal before I became an Entity, I lost many loved ones, I understand you perfectly, not to mention the influence that the Realm of God of the Cosmos had on your mind. But I have to admire you, you have managed to resist the complete madness that this Realm brings to those who reach it and you have kept in touch with me, as expected of the youngest Universal God of all our Existential Plan, but it is a shame... this District without an Entity has become nothing but wreckage…]

Repentance was visible in the tone of the Entity, clearly saddened by the loss of resources and lost lives.

Lucius said nothing and just looked vaguely around, from a mere mortal to power with the ability to destroy entire universes with a wave of hands.

"I walked a lot…" - Said Lucius melancholy as he remembered everything that happened in his past, he is now only 350,000 years old, which for a Universal God would be considered a 3-year-old child.

A Universal God can easily live a few hundred million years, but in just 350,000 years, Lucius was from a mere slave from a tiny planet, which could even be disregarded as a planet, to a God of the Cosmos, an existence that is only below the Entities.

[You've walked a lot.]

Said the Entity slowly, she had already read the whole mind of Lucius, understanding everything he had experienced in those 350,000 years, from the loss of his beloved family, becoming the slave of a nobleman and being abused for years, to the age of 13 being analyzed by a Transcendent who said that he had a little talent.

Bought by this Transcendent, Lucius a mere slave reached a new social state, the nobleman who once abused him died at his hands in the worst possible way and since then Lucius has become the nightmare of any arrogant and degenerate nobleman.

At fifteen, Lucius, dissatisfied with his cultivation talent, used his superior wisdom to create a technique called [Boundary Breaking], a Cultivation Technique that aims to increase the body's talent to the limit that an Existential Plan would be able to withstand and then overcome it!

But then a problem arose [Boundary Breaking] could only be cultivated by people under the age of 18, and there was no further benefit.

In the end, Lucius trained up to the 6th Layer in only 3 years, but it was enough to make him reach the Realm of God of the Cosmos and not go crazy like many others in the past, which is why everyone feared him.

Besides being one of the most powerful existences of the 23 Universes of that District, if not the most powerful in terms of individual power, he was ambitious and longed for more, so the [Art of the Endless Cosmos] fell into his hands, a banned Cultivation Technique that only Universal Gods can cultivate, but let's say that only 1 in 1,000,000 of Universal Gods, would be able to cultivate such Cultivation Technique.

But now the question, where the hell would so many Universal Gods come from? There will be no more than 10,000 in this Existential Plan living at the same time, of which extremely few, less than 10, would dare to try to cultivate such a technique.

But Lucius cultivated it and succeeded, he understood all the details of [Art of the Endless Cosmos] and understood the reason for his madness, it was not something that someone without a Force of Will strong enough to sustain 10 Universes, was able to endure and Lucius had such Force of Will, all due to [Breaking of Limit].

In the end, Lucius overcame the adversities of [Art of the Endless Cosmos] and became a God of the Cosmos, but at what cost? He lost everything he built!

His subordinates, afraid of his crazy way, abandoned him or betrayed him, the only one who stood by him was his beloved, never once thinking of abandoning him, but for what? To die in his arms because of a poison that should be for him.

In the end, Lucius lost more than he could have imagined...

"Entity... what {Idea} do you represent?" - Lucius asked calmly.

[I represent the {Idea} of Benevolence.]

Hearing this, Lucius nodded before asking. - "Could you kill me?"

[Why do you want this? I see that you are about to become an Entity like me, why miss such an opportunity?]

"I lost her and together with it I lost my senses, I may be about to move forward and become an Entity, but my [Concept] has already been destroyed by my anger and if I become an Entity, probably the {Idea} I represent would be the {Idea} of Pity, Pain, Sadness, Anger or Repentance, then the pain I would feel when I became an Entity would be something I could never leave behind… I just wish I could forget everything!" - Said Lucius sorrowful and without any willingness.

[…]

The Entity said nothing, but soon the mass of light that was his body began to change and then took the form of charming beauty, radiating a warm and welcoming aura.

[I long ago abandoned my name and became the {Idea} Benevolence, even if killing is not something I like to do, I feel I must kill you for your good and that of the souls you have taken away. That's why Lucius, I forgive you and put you out of your misery!]

At the end of his words, the beautiful Entity floated to Lucius and soon kissed his forehead, a mark has written "Benevolence" appeared on Lucius' forehead, and the next moment his body was wrapped in warm, cozy energy.

In Lucius' eyes, he saw the beautiful face of his beloved one last time, in a flowery field with two beautiful children in her arms.

Tears appeared in his eyes, these were his children who died before he could arrive, one of his greatest regrets of all life, he the greatest genius had many enemies and had many loves, of which they betrayed him or died, of which two had children with him.

"Thank you…" - Lucius said in a low voice and when he was about to walk toward his beloved and the two children, suddenly his vision faded!

[?!?!?!?!]

The Entity was stunned by what was happening and before it was able to understand what had happened, a flash of light appeared throughout the Existential Plan.

[Restart…]

The Entity said slowly in shock and excitement, and before she realized it... Lucius' soul that was going through his purification had disappeared…
