Licorice took the hands of Lucifer, holding his wrist once again as he reached out his other hand towards the crystal before him.
A violet luminescence surrounded both their bodies; however, just as the man could touch the crystal, a dark shadow came out of nowhere and swallowed the crystal.
Another Lucifer landed at the entrance of the core, intending to send the core to his shadow realm so it couldn't be destroyed. However, as soon as his shadow touched the core, it disintegrated. The crystal was still in its place.
Lucifer clenched his chest, feeling the pain of his shadow being destroyed.
Licorice also noticed the shadow. He turned around, curious.
"It's you," he smiled, noticing the other Lucifer. Finally, both the Lucifers were standing before each other, looking at each other.
