Armageddon

"I'm starting to like this body... The physical strength is absurd, but my face may not be very attractive. Due to lack of time, I couldn't shape the features I wanted, but whatever," Charles spoke excitedly while admiring his toned muscles, easily replacing his demands for beauty. He looked in the direction Lucifer was thrown and continued speaking, "Finally, I achieved my long-awaited freedom. Maybe I should enjoy it a bit and test my new body."

Determined about what he was going to do, Charles gave one last look at Brian and advanced like a comet towards Lucifer.

Meanwhile, Darkness fought in a frenzied battle against the Creator.

The Creator observed Darkness approaching, with his golden eyes shining intensely. He knew he couldn't underestimate her - her power of destruction was unparalleled - but he also knew he had an advantage: the power of creation.

Darkness attacked with a wave of destruction, but the Creator responded quickly, creating an energy shield to protect himself. He then counterattacked, creating a sphere of light that he launched towards Darkness.

Darkness dodged and launched another attack, this time a blast of black energy. The Creator responded by creating a wall of light to block the attack, but the black energy began to corrode the wall, causing it to disintegrate gradually.

The Creator then had an idea. He created a cloud of gas that surrounded Darkness, and then created a beam of energy that hit the cloud, causing it to explode. The explosion created a shockwave that hit Darkness, momentarily leaving her stunned.

The Creator took the opportunity to create a series of light mirrors around Darkness. When she recovered, she saw countless copies of herself in all the mirrors, making it difficult to know which one was the real one.

While Darkness tried to figure out which was the real copy, the Creator created a light clone of himself, which attacked Darkness from behind. She quickly turned around to defend herself, but before she could react, the Creator's clones conjured chains in their hands and threw them at Darkness's arms and legs.

The Creator's light clone created a sword bathed in light energy and plunged it into his sister. The sound of the sword piercing Darkness's body echoed through the area. She gritted her teeth in irritation and said, "You always use these tricks, don't you? Why don't you face me head-on instead of continuing to fight like a coward?" Even with several chains in her body and a sword in her belly, Darkness was still in perfect condition.

Suddenly, all the Creator's clones whispered nostalgically, "Darkness..." They only spoke her name; they didn't have the courage to say the rest, as if they were having flashbacks of good times together. Darkness noticed this and gritted her teeth in irritation. Suddenly, she exploded, emitting a dark glow that pushed all the clones away. She then pulled the sword out of her belly and said, "We have already passed this phase. Grow up, brother! We will never go back to what we were in the past." Her voice carried determination and confidence, but the Creator didn't have the same.

"When you came back, I felt a mysterious energy... Maybe it was the one who created us, after all, we all have a father, even us." Darkness became even more irritated after hearing her brother's nonsense and said, "I am primordial. I was here when there was nothing. I don't care about life or death, good or evil. I am only driven by the desire to consume and absorb everything I encounter in my path, without any remorse or pity. I am the embodiment of the darkness that exists within everyone, a primal force that hides in the depths of our being. If I really had a father, I would have killed him by now, so stop with these stupid words and let's put an end to this once and for all."

The Creator smiled upon hearing his sister, the one who always depended on him, say such selfish words. He closed his eyes for a few moments and tried to have the same thought as his sister, but unfortunately he failed. He couldn't be like that, but he was happy at the same time. That was the difference between a brother and another. Even though they grew up together, their natures were different. While one loved the light, the other loved the darkness. Sooner or later, the light would have to collide with the darkness and decide who would be the winner, and the time was now.

Suddenly, all of the Creator's clones began to disappear, and he decided he would confront the darkness face to face. The darkness was surprised to see the clones disappearing and said, "You finally decided to face me head-on?" The creator thought for a moment, wondering how to respond. He put his hand to his chin and said, "Well, if I defeated you like that, you probably wouldn't like it, right?"

Suddenly, a vein bulged on the Darkness's forehead, and she said, preparing to attack, "My hand is itching to fly at your throat, did you know that?" The Creator began to laugh at those words and replied, preparing to defend, "Come on."

Finally cured, Lucifer looked around and found a peculiar sight. The limits of the universe were an incomprehensible and mysterious place, where existence itself was questionable. There was no air, light, heat, or cold. Only darkness and emptiness that stretched as far as the mind could imagine.

Waves of energy and subatomic particles appeared and disappeared without any apparent purpose, as if they danced to the rhythm of an invisible music. The absolute silence was broken only by the whisper of the expanding universe. It was a sacred place, for it was most likely here that the Creator and the Darkness grew.

"Magnificent..." Lucifer whispered as he admired the view. All his problems seemed to disappear there. Strangely, that place gave an indescribable comfort. "It's quite relaxing here, isn't it?" Suddenly, a voice echoed behind Lucifer. He knew it could only be one person: Charles.

"Although we are something inexplicable, the universe seems to be larger and even more inexplicable... Simply fascinating, don't you agree, Charles?" Lucifer spoke casually, as if he had already forgiven the blow he had taken from Charles.

"You're right, but there is something more inexplicable than the universe..." Charles replied with a vague answer, captivating Lucifer's curiosity. "Are you talking about yourself?" Lucifer asked.

Charles laughed after seeing that Lucifer had interpreted it wrong and replied, "No..." Charles, from the moment he entered this world, never received an answer to the reason for his reincarnation. Having previously died as a human, he now lived as a god. Charles was curious and had so many questions that left him anxious while he awaited answers. But sensing that everything was coming to an end, Charles knew that the answers would come. He turned his attention to Lucifer and said, "It's really a shame that this beautiful place is going to be destroyed soon..." His voice carried a strange yet natural kindness.

"Yes, it's really a shame." Lucifer whispered and then, without hesitation, used the energy of life to create a star next to Charles and exploded it. The explosion destroyed all the nearby galaxies, leaving that sight alive, in complete darkness...

Illustration of darkness in the comments.

The energy of life is an incredible and versatile power that permeates the entire universe. Its potential for healing, creation, and transformation is unparalleled, but it can also be a dangerous force when used incorrectly. Those who are able to channel and control the energy of life do so wisely and carefully, for if used carelessly, it can condemn all life in the universe.
