Unfathomable Doomsday

War.

The so-called war.

None of this has anything to do with Lucius.

The war between the Federation and the Celestials was just a process for Lucius to achieve a specific purpose.

"Is it really good to just watch them die like this?"

Lucius did not leave that military fortress.

After Laisser Grant was interrogated, he was temporarily released because of the massive invasion by the insect race inside the military fortress.

However, Laisser Grant, who was the Federation Marshal, did not go to aid the Federation side.

"The bombing was quite loud."

"Hmm."

A God and a vampire stood in the middle of the universe and looked at the planet fortress that was made by humans at that moment.

The insects had shown their full potential as they should! This group of monsters, who were born only to kill and fight, did not know what mercy was.

They devoured everything in sight! Even if there are some that don't even have stomachs ……

Purely for the sake of destruction, this group of single-celled beings was a weapon of mass destruction, capable of wiping out an entire civilization.

The planet fortress was filled with fire. Even in space, Lucius could see clearly the pitch-black color of the fortress surface dense with raging hot flames.

"Who do you think will win this war?" Lucius had wanted to go back but met Laisser Grant on his retreat.

This man wearing rimless glasses looked like he had been waiting for Lucius for a long time in the middle of this void universe.

"I don't know, the humans believe they will win while the Celestials believe the final victory belongs to them, but the future is finally set and there is only one ending."

Laisser Grant pushed his glasses, glanced at Lucius.

This kind of conversation was weirdly pleasant as if they had known each other for a long time.

Because Laisser Grant remembered this man beside him, he sighed, seeing this appearance of Lucius, he should have guessed.

"Don't you have the power to control time? If the alliance loses, you can go back in time to change the future ah." Lucius tested Laisser Grant.

"This is the same as the save point inside a game, is not it?"

"The future is predetermined, fate is also predetermined, you can change the beginning. But the ending is always the same no matter what you do."

Laisser Grant said indifferently.

"No matter how you try."

"Then I can try?"

Lucius's tone was firm.

"Try what? No matter how you try. The future is never going to be changed."

"Heh ……" Lucius gave a light laugh.

"You know what? The place where I used to live was just like here. Warm and friendly, the sun rises every day on time to shine on the earth, the moon appears every day on time to guide people in the darkness. A kingdom of humans where, they governed it. I actually liked that place a long, long time ago, but I destroyed it."

"Hmm." Laisser Grant nodded his head as if he was listening to a story.

"You think I killed nearly two billion living beings. Destroyed countless families, destroyed so many things that were ordinary or beautiful in the eyes of humans just for one person and then give up just because you say that?" Lucius took out the pendant on his chest and carefully speculated.

"In my memory, Lucius you are not the first time to do this kind of thing."

Laisser Grant said in a nostalgic tone.

"Not the first time? Have we met before?" Lucius cocked her head and looked at the strange man.

"Forgotten…? Indeed, you should've forgot those tragic memories, you have something like a system on you, right?"

Laisser Grant said the most important secret of Lucius in one word.

"Yes." Lucius felt that there was nothing to hide.

"Where do you think it came from? Alien super technology? A mischief of the gods? Or maybe both? Or perhaps… from me?"

"You're a god, aren't you? But, having come into contact with you, I don't think it's possible for you to have created this system."

Lucius shrugged.

"Indeed, I am the God of Time, and the person who created this system is you, Lucius." Laisser Grant pointed at Lucius as if remembering something dear.

"The first God of Creation, these memories are a little too long ago, if I remember correctly, we should have been elementary school classmates."

"Elementary school classmates?" Lucius, in such a serious topic, heard such a childish word and, frozen in thought, tried to remember about their predecessors, but he was confused.

"Gods are not without their own place to live, it's just that those humans could not find it, Gods do not like to fight with people, our secluded home can be called the divine world, built on top of the nebula. A tower through the sky represents each world." Laisser Grant carefully recalled

"Of course… if we speak about home and country, there would be a school also…."

"………"

Lucius's laughter rang out again.

"What's so funny."

"Nothing, it just seems that the gods that humans once looked up to are living such an ordinary life."

"Gods are just stronger creatures, they also have things they can't do."

Laisser Grant recalled the days of turmoils.

"Laisser Mille and you should get along quite well, right?"

"Quite well, he is a very good kid."

"The combination of celestial beings and god"

Lucius said that and then glanced at Laisser Grant.

If we say the two most terrifying races in the universe, it is undoubtedly the Gods and Celestials, the Gods immortality and the Celestials power to assimilate with all mechanical objects were feared.

What a terrifying existence the crystallization of the two races would be.

"Yes."

"That child seems to have no mother." Lucius recalled that after tossing around this world for so long during this period of time, he hadn't really run into Laisser Mille's mother.

"She's dead." Laisser Grant said in a light tone

"Mille's mother is the first generation of Celestial, not a product of human creation, but died because of me."

"And then, what is the point of you talking to me about this?"

Whether it was war or the sorrow and happiness of others. Lucius was not concerned about these things. The only thing Lucius was concerned about was going back to the past.

"I am a God, but not without feelings, people can't come back from the dead, this kind of thing can't be changed by anyone."

Laisser Grant recalled.

"I have been like you, countless times back in time, when she was still alive, trying to change this ending, but each time, no matter how much I tried… the same result always occurred in the end. I could not accept this result. Just like you, but no matter how much one tries, no matter how many things one does, no matter how long ago one goes back in time."

"The ultimate ending. It still won't change…will it?"

That's why Lucius hates this fate thing ……

Very annoying.

But Lucius did not believe it.

"Mille and Hope are all that she left me. Since the past can't be changed. I can only protect the future, which I am doing now and am trying. Leaving the humans is the right choice for Mille, he has a bright future."

"Well, the sermon ends here, I only ask you one thing!" Lucius clutched his pendant

"Let me go back to the day when I remember! The day the fire took her away from me!"

"Are you really going to do that?" A strange power emerged from Laisser Grant's hand.

"It's painful, the person you want to save may not die from the scorching flames, but after you save her, she may be killed in various ways, can you bear it? The look of a beloved one dying in front of you countless times."

"Fate?… then I'm going to destroy it! The so-called fate!"

"……" Luo Chen sighed.

"Think back carefully about the time you have to go back, but I hope you won't break down."

Under the faint glow, Lucius's figure disappeared into the universe, never existed in this time.

"Brother, welcome home ……"

In a trance, Lucius seemed to hear his long-awaited voice.

……………………

What exactly is the connection between the past, the once, and the future.

Naiya did not know, and she did not want to know.

But one thing that she knew was that Lucius was pursuing the past, a place in his memories, a beautiful place……

Thus, Lucius could never face the present and the future… he never has one, to begin with.

Naiya just silently thought…

The Celestial's group had already left, and Laisser Mille and his sister went to the Celestial's position together as an envoy, hoping to find a way to free her sister.

Now there's only Naiya in the entire mothership. She holds a cup of black tea, feeling the afterglow on it and gradually waiting for Lucius's return.

But ……

Lucius!

The cup fell to the ground, and Naiya looked up in horror.

Gone…gone? Naiya stood up in some disbelief.

Probably the reason was once she's converted into a family member by Lucius, no matter where Lucius was, Naiya could feel his presence.

But not this time!

Lucius's aura disappeared in the universe.

There was no trace left, no trace at all.

What happened? The Naiya started to move, and the engine was turned on to the maximum.

Uncertainty spread in the heart of Naiya!

The feeling of not having existed in the first place was even more disturbing to Naiya than death.

What the hell is going on?

As a Celestial, Naiya stopped hiding his identity and disappeared into the universe with a warp towards the military fortress in the heart of the Federation.

The planet fortress was damaged.

In the midst of the stargate node, the tide of steel swept the entire universe, hundreds of heavily armed battlecruiser mother ships advanced towards this fortress.

This was truly a great battle, and the insect invasion had completely angered the Federation.

However, they seemed to have found a single Celestial ship that had fallen alone.

Lucius…Naiya ignored the mother ships whose cannons were aimed at her, and she completely lacked the self-consciousness to go deep into the enemy camp alone and began to search for Lucius in this area of the universe.

The devastating cannon fire descended on top of the armor of the Naiya.

Even if the Celestials were strong, she could never survive if she were to be bombarded by hundreds of warships at once. The surface of the Naiya appeared signs of damage. The only person inside the ship, on Naiya's body also appeared scarlet blood.

This was not a ship that the celestials used as cannon fodder but the incarnation of the celestials themselves. Usually, the celestials would store their own bodies deep in the celestial territory and would not go on a campaign in person.

But now, Naiya has nothing but this mother ship.

Don't! Get in my way!

Her main body was harmed. Naiya, of course, was also affected, and with a grit of her teeth, she poured out her cannon fire at the Federation's fleet.

But what she got in return for sinking a few serial ships was an even fiercer counterattack from the Federation.

"Ha ……" Naiya fell to her knees. The part of the cannon fire that destroyed the ship fed back to Naiya's body, blurring her will, but Naiya still did not choose to flee.

It's too cruel, isn't it? You're so cruel to just leave everything you have, every time.

Where the hell…did you go! Lucius!

………………

Why…is it like this?

Lucius stared at his hand. His hands were stained with blood…

It was his own sister's blood.

I obviously… I obviously saved Jill!

Saved her from the cross! Killed all those humans who were screaming!

But to no avail, while holding her hand and leaving. A bullet that he didn't even know where it came from pierced through the chest of his sister.

It was silver-plated!

Lucius's consciousness returned to this universe once again and was confronted with the unperturbed pupils of Laisser Grant and the sound of artillery fire roaring behind him.

It was a bit inaccurate to use war to describe the scene behind Laisser Grant, because, in reality, it was just a one-sided battle.

Lucius recognized that one battleship. The Naiya …… was just now being overwhelmed by cannon fire.

"Well? Still want to keep trying? Looks like there's a Celestial who cares about you. She tried to save you and run into the Federation's army."

Laisser Grant's was expressionless, without joy or sorrow, He pushed his glasses and looked at Lucius.

"I don't believe it!" Lucius gritted his teeth. The view of his sister dying again put Lucius in a rage.

"Jill, she must be able to survive!"

"……" Laisser Grant sighed. Once again, Lucius was sent to the past before looking at the precarious battleship with dead-fish eyes again.

Since killing the entire Holy City was not enough!

Then I will kill the entire Kingdom!

The blood stained Lucius's entire body, the river of death completely released, the moment his sister was sent to the execution ground, Lucius completely released his killing intent.

But ……

"Why ……" Lucius held the corpse that had become cold in his arms. She was as peaceful as if she had fallen asleep.

"Why!!!"

"Fate cannot be changed, the dead will eventually rest in peace." Laisser Grant's voice rang in Lucius's ears.

"No! More, I will kill all of humanity! Let me try one more time!"

Lucius's pupils were scarlet and terrifying.

"……"

His obsession with changing the past was more terrifying than what Laisser Grant had imagined, but ……

"Uuuu…"

The sound of sorrow made Lucius wake up from his rage. He looked at the universe behind Laisser Grant.

That was the sad cry of the Naiya. The Naiya had utterly lost its original appearance. The cannon fire destroyed everything, the wrecked pieces floating in the air.

"Are you still going?" Laisser Grant's blood-stained cheeks were reflected in his rimless glasses

"The past you pursue will ruin your future!"

"Future? My future is only Jill! She's the only one! I never had a future! After her death!"

Lucius growled, but his gaze did not dare to look at the brutal battlefield.

"Then go on and pursue your past."

Laisser Grant looked at Lucius with a pathetic look.

……………

What does it feel like to have your body dismembered?

Naiya finally experienced it today.

The feeling of a battleship being blasted into slag by the relentless cannon fire little by little.

If this continues, she'll eventually die. Naiya felt inexplicable pain all throughout her body!

She felt the existence of Lucius just slightly in this area. She whispered his name, but no answer.

……………

"How about that? How does it feel to watch the death of a beloved one so many times?" Laisser Grant stared at Lucius.

Those scarlet pupils were no longer have any luster, cold and dead.

"Again… try again ……" Lucius murmured, like a puppet, soulless.

"A futile struggle." The glow enveloped him again.

Then ……

"Lu…ciu ……s" from afar, a prayer-like cry made Lucius abruptly raised his head!

The glow dispersed.

The scenery that appeared in front of Lucius was not the cross burned by the flame ……

But … a young girl's figure.

The long black hair reached to the waist, and the lavender pupils carried a look of dissatisfaction.

This was…Lucius found himself sitting on the bed.

"Hey! Why aren't you talking?" The young girl said so.

This was…the first time Lucius met Naiya. She was hostile towards him.

"I ……" Lucius just wanted to speak, but the scenery changed again.

"I need a sharper sword."

The young girl who had lost her family, lost her loved ones, and was overwhelmed by hatred, made this request to the devil, who responded to her. The blood contract was concluded together, and she became a prop for the devil.

Relying on the power of the devil. The young girl became the first royal daughter admired by all. Strong as a soul of steel!

But the girl has a fragile side …… which the night of the falling stars ……

Lucius clearly remember the strong first royal daughter hiding in his arms, crying in pain.

What was it like to love someone? The first time Lucius asked such a question that would never be asked.

At the time when everything fell, her life was about to come to an end under the arrangement of the devil.

"Take…everything that I have…okay?"

Lucius remembered, fondly, that night. The young girl was so beautiful that she took his breath away. Lucius remembered it, always, he could never forget!

Even if she was transformed into a monster, Lucius could still clearly remember.

Every drop of your blood, every inch of your skin. Every bit of your soul is mine!

Lucius murmured and kept murmuring these words.

What foolishness!

Lucius had never shed a tear before.

And on the day his sister died, Lucius clearly felt that the pain of shedding tears was originally a hundred times more painful than to bleed.

This feeling of loss, Lucius did not want to experience it ever again!

The past? My past in the end in exchange for what?

Now, Lucius decided to chase his future!

Naiya.

Lucius whispered.

The battlefield reappeared in Lucius's eyes as he steeply opened his eyes.

Hundreds of Federation ships surrounded that one tiny battleship.

"Damn!" Blood surrounded Lucius's body. Ignoring Laisser Grant's differing eyes. Lucius violently charged towards the figure floating in the universe!

The undead in the river of death was released.

The undead wailed and collided with those steel beasts with their flesh bodies.

And Lucius clung to the body that was gradually becoming cold in the middle of the universe.

"Naiya! Don't…hey! Wake up!"

Her heart was still beating ……

"Lu…cius…?"

"System! Repair, repair her body, now immediately!"

Lucius clung to Naiya's body and felt the heart that was no longer beating.

"Because the object is a higher being, it needs ……"

"It doesn't matter how much despair value! It doesn't matter if it's all used up! Let her live! Please!" Lucius prayed.

"She is all I have now!"

"As you wish."

The glow, enveloping the two, was the only light left in this universe.

"Naiya, is everything okay?" Lucius suddenly felt Naiya's hand move.

Naiya opened her eyes, her teary eyes looked at Lucius before Lucius said the next sentence, her lips intertwined with Lucius's.

So happy…Naiya closed her eyes tightly.

Enjoying this moment.

In the middle of a universe where a battleship exploded and bullets scattered across the entire planet, no one could separate the two.

……………………… One year later …………………………………

On top of the Celestial's home planet.

"Is it really today?"

"Hmm."

Arthas and Yuri were excitedly discussing something strange.

Looking at Yuri's expression and the way Arthas's ears were twitching happily, it looked like she was very happy.

"Well, it has been so long since the summoner went in and didn't come out." Xerath also floated aside and looked at the door of a metal room.

"Should… shouldn't anything happen?"

And behind them followed a group of young girls, all of whom were of course, Celestials.

"I'm not sure." Alex remained indifferent, shaking his head silently.

"Ah…this news came too suddenly, but I still hurried back from the front."

The current Laisser Mille was wearing a pitch-black military uniform, with the symbol of the Gods Hunter pinned above his left arm, looking like he had become a qualified leader.

"Um… what exactly is it?" As the current matriarch of the Celestials, Loya asked Arthas beside her in a somewhat small voice.

Probably because both of them had silver hair, the two of them seemed to have a very good relationship.

"……" Arthas's tail wagged before quietly saying in Loya's ear.

"Little baby."

"Eh? What?!" Loya froze for a moment before the door was opened.

"Everything is going well… ah, brother you're back."

Hope's voice sounded above the planet. She was not free from the Seat of Eternity after all but transformed the mother nature of the celestials into her own being.

The door had just been opened, and a group of people was furtively probing the view from the room.

A room that was simply furnished.

Lucius has changed a lot in a year. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pale face of Naiya.

And between the two, a newborn life was born in this world.

"What name do you plan to give her?" Naiya asked Lucius.

"Memoria, I guess." Lucius gently stroked the new life's forehead, the feeling of being a father was a bit strange.

"Is there any symbolic meaning?" Naiya's hand was always clasped with his.

"To make me not forget the past and protect the future."

Lucius glanced at the crowd standing in the doorway.

"The future that belongs to everyone."

…………………………

"Hey! How about you being my daughter's godfather, Mille?" said Lucius.

"Godfather? Lucius, I've been busy fighting the war lately, the front line is tight, I don't have time to help you watch your child," Said Laisser Mille.

"The Gods hunter corps doesn't have enemies anymore! The front line is still tight?" said Lucius.

"Speaking of which, you, who had the role of Gods Hunter's executive, but not joining any war disappoints me, Lucius." Said Laisser Mille.

"The gods Hunter corps has more than two hundred hunters, why are you still looking for me!"

"What! You alone have the battle power of our whole group, okay?"

"Ah… I'm going on my honeymoon with Naiya, I'll go first." Lucius said.

"Hey, hey, hey! This is the third time! How many times are you going on your honeymoon?" Mille said.

"Never enough!"
