"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Lucifer huffed and puffed as he flopped to the ground like a dead fish, only the sound of his heartbeat resounded within the forest.
He was throughly drained of energy to the extent that he couldn't even raise a single finger up.
It took a bit of struggle and an hour before Lucifer was able to slowly reach for the Milky-Ice water and the fruit even still, he coudk feel his entire cells were throughly drained of energy. His skin, was flushed red from over-loading too much of his cells.
"Gulp. Crunch!"
The familiar feeling of two energies fighting within him occured and in thw blink of an eye, he could feel himself recovering. His cells were like beasts that had been starving for years as they sucked in energy, revitalizing themselves. And the ones who coudkrb revitalized were quickly replaced by newly regenerated cells.
About two to three hours more, Lucifer was back to his peak form. He clenched his fists, feeling his body becoming more tenacious than ever. His cells were even more strengthened. It was as though overusing his cells and revitalizing them makes them even stronger than they were previously, increasing his bodily defenses.
He slowly got up and looked at his surroundings. The entire forest within 300 meters were all pitch black, burnt by the flames from Michael's body. Lucifer couldn't help but shudder.
People with Temperal origin evolution were considered gods within the Wasteland as the ability ingrained in their genes to control a specific temperature was just too scary. Very few people awaken this ability as one can not just decide to place evolution points there, one has to first know the structure they want to enhance to place to evolve.
Like the combat origin, combat origin evolution is easiky spotted as it is entirely base on the physique therefore, to increase combat origin one just needed to feel the body evolving and be evolution points would do the rest.
But Temperal Origin was different. Some say it's a region in the brain. While some say it's a particular organ in the body. Their are different theories to it which is why there aren't many Temperal origin out there and if there are, they are incredibly powerful. It was said that the could defeat three people if other domains at the same levels.
A Genetic soldier with one level in Temperal domain could defeat a Super soldier with 2 levels in combat origin.
Lucifer was really lucky to have been able to beat one to flee but it had simply been a stroke of luck. If the fight had lasted a bit and his defenses and tolerance for pain was slightly low, he would have lost the battle and even lost his life also.
Lucifer let out a smile. He could finally head back to the base. But first he needed to leave here as fast as he could. He had spent enough time here already and a few curious beast would have been attracted by the sound of the battle.

"It's been four days now, do you think we should continue to wait here?" A brown-haired youth grumbled, tossing a stone to a tree nearby in annoyance.
Bayne gave the brown-haired youth a sidelong glance, obviously irritated by his words. "If you want to leave, you can leave. But I assure you that non of the level-2 flesh would get to you."
The youth's expression changed slightly as he growled. "I've been waiting here for four days, how can you say that?"
Bayne only chuckled and proceeded to ignore him. The last member tapped the brown-haired youth and shook his head.
The brown-haired youth sneered but ultimately didn't say another word of complaint while whispering to himself. "My elder brother is yransdeidinhuti this base in a few days, it's only a matter of time before he unsurps you."
Suddenly, the last member of the three team squinted his eyes and pointed. "Something is approaching."
There was no shortage of creatures within the wilderness and although they felt slightly safe as they were near the base but even then, the dangers here should not be underestimated.
The three people immediately got to a battle stance. Bayne held onto his large iron axe with two hands and asked. "Is it a person or a creature?"
The blue-eyed third member opened his eyes intently and after a while frowned as he responded. "It's a human.
Almost immediately, a black-haired youth with tattered clothes and no show at all walked out from the depths of the forest.
The youth paused when he saw them but then removed his gaze as though he had only seen a pair of ants.
"Finally." The youth sighed deeply as he gazed at the familiar wall a few hundreds of meters away. After all the trouble he had gone through, he could finally head back to the second place he called home. Moreover, he was eager to see how the red-eyed rabbit had grown and kill it to increase his physique to the third level of evolution.
Seeing the person who had emerged the three people's eyes lit up. The person they had been waiting for was here at last.
"You are finally here!" Bayne smiled brilliantly, his axe dropping to the ground with a loud thud as he stared at the youth before him. From the sound the axe made when he dropped it, it was obvious the weight was something extraordinary that even Bayne who was a genetic soldier couldn't hold it for long.
"Wevwybeen waiting here for you for several days now. We thought you might have died or something. I feel like you did it intentionally, lets hurry and beat him up to show him what type of people he messed with " The other two people were excited as well seeing the youth before them.
Lucifer stared blankly at the three older youths a though they didn't exist and then directly ignored them as he walked towards the base. "Fools! "
