Kapitel 157: Chapter 157 Armageddon
I wanted to post this on Sunday, but hey, Life doesn't go as planned.
This chapter is to all my readers who are still expecting a release.
I love you all.
....
Snap!
The moment his eyes glowed, everything changed. Those red eyes were followed with intense pressure greater than what he had ever experienced.
Amari felt the air stiffen and the surrounding matter grow thick. The feeling wasn't unfamiliar to him.
It was the feeling of the planet's gravity multiplying to unimaginable heights. The increase acted on everything around, weighing down on his body and slowing his movements.
Amari remembered facing a similar situation in a fight against a powerful being on a soon-to-be wrecked planet just like this.
That was Darkseid.
In an attempt to get around his ability to absorb energy, Darkseid had resorted to manipulating gravitational force to restrict his movements.
He achieved partial success with the addition of Chronokinesis.
Obviously, Lucifer was resorting to similar tactics. The only difference being that ... The scale simply wasn't on the same level.
Gravity was one of the few things Amari's energy absorption had no effect on. Darkseid using it against him wasn't really much of a problem.
But this wasn't Darkseid.
'…. I can't move'.
At the moment, he found himself stuck in place, incapable of advancing or retreating an inch.
"That's one ….".
Snap!
That thought had barely settled when the space around him was suddenly enveloped in a white hazy light.
Luca could feel his already miniscule movements slow down even more.
'What the hell .....'.
"That's two".
Lucifer uttered with a brilliant smile while snapping his fingers once again
Snap!
The world suddenly lost color as everything stilled completely. Yet again, another move that he was familiar with.
The difference being he was the one who usually used it on others. Not the other way around.
Increased Gravity
Speed reduction
Time Freeze .....
A three in one package, all with monstrous magnitude released by a monster himself.
"Now then …. Absorb this for me, will ya?" He uttered while raising his hand to the sky.
Then, with a slight clench, a sudden change occurred.
Anyone looking at the moon right now would discover that a red glow enveloped the surface, spreading in all directions.
As he clenched his hand, cracks emerged all over the surface with a sizable chunk of the moon being carved out.
The carved out area broke apart before being pulled down towards the earth at the speed of light.
Hundreds of large meteors streaked into the earth's atmosphere, heading straight for the hole that was once Gotham.
'Dammit!'
The motionless Energy being had his eyes light up with a blue glow.
Following which, the space before him swirled and distorted rapidly.
The meteors struck down the moment he did.
Due to Lucifer's control, they didn't cause widespread damage, but all aimed in Amari's general direction.
However, The swirling space proved an obstacle as the meteors were transported away before they could inflict any damage.
At that moment, Amari's blue eyes shifted to a certain direction.
'Dimensional Transportation ….'. Lucifer's thoughts were interrupted by the following developments.
As while his gaze was on Amari, the space behind him swirled and the meteors he had released reappeared out of thin air.
'…. Behind me …'. Sensing the disturbance behind him, he raised two fingers without turning back.
Time froze.
With dozens of burning meteors still aflame behind his back, Lucifer let out a smile.
"Good move".
Then ..... Time resumed as the meteors escaped suspended animation and shot forward again, bypassing Lucifer with curves that weren't possible to achieve through human cognition.
Their destination? It had never changed.
And under his gaze, they streaked towards Amari at astounding speeds and upon making contact ... Passed right through him.
This scene alone made Lucifer's eyes brighten with curiosity.
'He can still escape unscathed under a triple containment. Interesting'.
The man who was literally Satan himself thought inwardly. Then his eyebrows narrowed as Amari's body began to fade.
'Fade? Running away now, are we?'
Just as the devil furrowed his eyebrows, Amari's fading figure let out a slight smirk.
Before Lucifer could understand, a figure emerged from the swirling space behind him, with dark hair, blue eyes and a massive ball of chaotic destructive energy spinning on the palm of his hand.
"My turn". Amari uttered as he slammed down hard with the dark red energy ball.
As for how Lucifer wasn't able to react to the attack from the swirling space behind him ..... After diverting the Meteor attack, Amari had never closed it.
Bang!
The dark red ball came in contact with the devil and exploded upon impact.
Cataclysmic energy erupted, turning into an explosion that spread in all directions.
Previously, Lucifer had slammed him with a sun. How could Amari sleep peacefully without returning the favor?
A large amount of energy was discharged into the surroundings once again, turning into a massive explosion akin to a nuclear bomb.
Only this time, the blast wasn't aimed to spread out but aimed downwards.
The blast wave drilled deep into the earth, rushing towards its very core and destabilizing the gravitational force that held the planet together.
Boom!
The whole planet shook to its core as the earth ruptured.
Hawaii ...
A moment later, a volcano that had proved to be dormant suddenly turned red. Following which, a large amount of molten lava emerged from its depths and spewed into the air without so much as a second's warning.
The citizens had barely come to their senses from the first planetary quake when the sky above their heads changed color.
They all looked up, horror appearing in their eyes as burning magma rained from the skies in full force.
Atlantic Ocean .....
Atlantis .....
Crack!
The sound of cracking earth appeared, startling the sea creatures.
Poseidonis ..... The Capital of Atlantis.
Aquaman sat on his throne, dark creases crowding his forehead, with his fist resting on his chin and a blank expression.
After Amari's charade with Ocean master, Arthur Curry had taken time away from the Justice League to tend to his family and organize his kingdom.
Boom!
A loud rumble destroyed the silence of the throne room, startling the underwater king.
"What's happening ...". He had barely finished his question when the earth below him suddenly split apart.
The walls began to crumble and one half of the ocean floor began to rise upward.
Aquaman's eyes widened as he shot upward, abandoning his throne before it was swallowed by the widening crack.
'A sea quake? How .....'?
Crack!
He was interrupted yet again as the ceiling of the palace collapsed upon itself, falling inward.
The poor king practically didn't know what hit him as large rocks slammed into this back, pushing him back down the way he came.
Aquaman, King of Atlantis fell into a crack on the ocean floor.
While the palace was still collapsing, a tinge of red emerged in the crack. A few seconds later, large amounts of molten magma erupted from the cracked areas.
The change in balance of the earth didn't just affect the seafloor.
Miami!
"Look over there .....". A loud discordant scream interrupted the happy going beach lovers on the beach shores of Florida Miami.
People looked towards the sea waters only to find a massive tidal wave emerging from the distance.
Before the scream, it was just a much larger wave than usual. Until it grew bigger and bigger and bigger and ….
Everyone's eyes constricted to the point of needles upon seeing the massive Tsunami heading their way.
"Run .....".
Splash!
The large water wave washed over the Miami shores, drowning the beach lovers into its depths. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there.
As today was one of those rare occurrences where the ocean disobeyed nature and moved way beyond the seashore boundary.
Millions of tons of seawater flooded onto land, destroying everything in its path.
Miami was ruined.
Paris ....
After the loud earthquake, no one experienced anything unusual at first.
"Damn! Another earthquake?"
A man going out with his family on an evening stroll muttered under his breath.
The rumbling was particularly strong. Several car accidents had taken place right before their eyes.
"Ok everyone, let's get back home. Back inside …". His wife didn't question. Turning to get her children to turn around.
"Ok everyone, let's go. Isaac, Liam, Jojo ..... Huh! JoJo?" The mother turned and was stunned to find her youngest daughter missing.
"JoJo ..... JoJo?" Her daughter's absence was immediately met with panic as he eyes darted in all directions.
"Sweetie? JOJO!"
"Ahhhhhh".
At that moment, a high-pitched squeal resounded throughout the block from above, causing everyone who heard it to wince.
The mother's eyes widened. Looking upward, only to see her daughter floating int the air.
"JoJo …. You …". She exclaimed in disbelief. However ....
A loud creaking sound came from behind. Under everyone's gazes, a very heavy car actually detached from the floor and floated into the air.
It seemed like the sign for a whole new round of Chaos, as the Earth's gravity faltered and everything began to lose its grip on solid ground.
Cars, trucks, items, people .....
"Wow …. Whoa … Whoa …. What's going on?"
A young delivery guy exclaimed in fright as he found himself flying into the air alongside his pizza.
"Oh. … Oh my God. I …. I can fly". Following the initial panic was a burst of excitement at the development before his eyes.
"I …. I can fly". He yelled in ecstasy. "This means I have superpowers. I can't believe it … I'm going to be a hero ….".
His words were cut short as the loose gravity in his area was restored.
Unable to react, the poor Pizza delivery guy fell face first, slamming hard against the pavement.
"Ow!" A burst of pain flooded through his nose as blood flowed.
"Argh … It's… It's ok. Don't call an ambulance, I'm fi .....".
Bang.
A shadow enveloped him. Following which, the truck which had risen earlier fell back to the earth, crushing the youth into nothing but meat paste.
Volcanoes erupted, Tsunamis erupted, the sea floor reared its rocks out of the ocean, and whole cities were destroyed by earthquakes and gravitational imbalances.
Millions died in the first second, and thousands more with each passing one.
It was Armageddon.
At that moment, everywhere in the world descended into Chaos as earth fell into the cycle of destruction.
Unfortunately, that cycle was destined to fall short as the perpetrators were fully determined to accelerate the damn process.
"Hahahaha ….". Loud laughter emerged from the large hole that was once Gotham. The energy aftermath dispersed and what emerged was Lucifer in slightly ruffled clothes.
"It's been a long time since someone landed a hit on me". His eyes twinkled with cunning viciousness as he rolled up his sleeves. "... Alright, I'm game. I'll play with you".
