Chapter 7 - The Worries of Visions

Robert was having a very hard time, grappling with the weight of his powers and the visions that plagued him. Jarvis, his companion, was tirelessly seeking a way to restore Robert to his normal state. Meanwhile, a sinister threat loomed on the horizon. The Lord of Darkness had dispatched his army, led by the ominous Dark Witch, to hunt for the Wish Maker's power on Earth.

As the first rays of the sun pierced through the morning mist, Robert received a frantic call from his mother. His sister, Emily, had not returned home the previous night, and their mother was beside herself with worry. Robert's eyes widened in shock.

"Don't cry, Mom. I'll find her," he assured, struggling to calm himself. He closed his eyes and summoned his power, scanning the entire world for his sister's presence. Within moments, he located her and teleported to her side.

Robert materialized with a thunderous crash, smoke billowing around him. The sight that greeted him was harrowing: men armed with guns, and his sister locked in a room. The mafia leader, who had been jailed by Robert's father years ago, stood menacingly nearby. This was an act of revenge.

With a pounding headache, Robert felt his anger surge. As he landed, two henchmen approached, but before they could react, they exploded in a burst of energy. The remaining men, stunned, opened fire. Bullets whizzed toward Robert but vanished before they could reach him.

Robert didn't want to waste any more time. He snapped his fingers, and the room erupted in a violent explosion. Blood sprayed everywhere as bodies were torn apart. He walked toward the mafia leader, a cold fury in his eyes.

"This is the end," Robert said, and with a flick of his wrist, the leader's head exploded. He then snapped his fingers again, erasing all CCTV footage from the scene. Jarvis materialized beside him.

"What if the police start investigating this area?" Jarvis asked, concern evident in his tone.

"Nothing can be found," Robert replied. "And who will care to find the killer of a mafia boss?"

Robert picked up his unconscious sister and teleported directly home. Their mother and father rushed to meet him, their faces a mixture of relief and fear.

"Where was she? Why is she unconscious?" his mother cried.

"She was kidnapped by the mafia leader. I killed them all and brought her back," Robert said, his voice steady but his eyes haunted.

"Are you hurt?" his mother asked, frantic.

"No, Mom, I'm fine," he reassured her. "I need to freshen up."

His father, his face pale, asked, "What happened to the bodies?"

"I took care of them and erased the CCTV footage. Nothing can be found. I'm tired, Dad. I need to freshen up," Robert said, heading to his room.

Closing his door, Robert leaned against it, clutching his chest. Visions of his mother, father, and sister being killed by his own hand flashed before his eyes, leaving him in shock.

"Robert, you have to overcome these visions," Jarvis urged, his voice filled with concern.

"I can't," Robert whispered, his voice breaking. "No matter how hard I try, I can't. I even went to live alone to overcome it, but it still haunts me."

Jarvis, worried that Robert might fall into self-destruction, replied softly, "We'll find a way, Robert. We have to."

Robert sank onto his bed, tears streaming down his face. The weight of his powers, the constant threat of darkness, and the horrifying visions threatened to break him. Yet, somewhere deep inside, a spark of hope remained, a hope that Jarvis clung to, believing that one day, Robert would find peace.

But for now, the shadows within continued to loom large, and the battle for Robert's soul raged on.

 The Wrath Unleashed

The lingering threat of the mafia gnawed at Robert's mind, prompting him to take action. In an instant, he teleported to the mafia leader's house, hovering above the estate. He observed the scene below: over a hundred armed men, patrolling with guns at the ready. Determination etched across his face, Robert landed with a soft thud, a smile curling his lips.

"I'll kill them all for my family's safety," he muttered to himself, striding forward.

As he approached, chaos erupted. With a flick of his fingers, heads exploded, blood splattering the ground in a gruesome display. The mafia leader watched in horror on the CCTV screens, his face paling as he barked, "Everyone, come to my room! Now!"

Robert moved through the compound like a harbinger of death, breaking down doors and shattering walls. He reached the mafia leader's room and, with a snap of his fingers, annihilated everyone inside. The room was painted in blood, and the leader, drenched and trembling, could barely contain his nausea. He retched violently.

"This is the end of your fucking revenge, motherfucker," Robert growled, his voice icy.

"Forgive me!" the mafia leader pleaded, falling to his knees. "I swear I'll never touch your family again!"

"Hmm, I see," Robert said, feigning consideration. "But this is still the end."

The mafia leader sobbed and begged on the floor, but Robert was unmoved. He ascended above the house, pointing a single finger downward. A powerful blast beam erupted from his fingertip, engulfing the entire estate. The house and everyone in it were obliterated, leaving nothing behind, not even a trace.

Jarvis appeared beside Robert, his digital form flickering with worry. "Robert, are you okay?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern.

"Yes, I'm fine," Robert replied, his tone unnervingly calm. "I have one more thing to do."

"What is it?" Jarvis inquired, anxiety lacing his words.

"I'm going to absorb the darkness," Robert said.

Jarvis's eyes widened in alarm. "No, you can't! If the evil Robert consumes you, the entire universe could be destroyed."

"Trust me," Robert insisted.

Reluctantly, Jarvis nodded. Robert teleported back to his room, covered in blood. He washed himself clean, the water turning crimson as it swirled down the drain. Meanwhile, inside Robert's core mind, Jarvis observed the growing darkness. The natural, vibrant areas representing Robert's good will were being encroached upon by a sinister blackness. If the darkness consumed everything, it would be the end.

That evening, Robert sat down to dinner with his family. His parents and sister were oblivious to the turmoil within him, chatting about their day. Robert tried to appear normal, but Jarvis, ever vigilant, knew that the real battle was only just beginning.

 Dark Intentions

Robert sat at the dinner table, his family's laughter and conversation a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside him. He forced a smile, trying to engage, but his mind was elsewhere. The desire to embrace his darker nature gnawed at him, whispering promises of ultimate power and freedom from his nightmares.

As his family finished their meal, Robert excused himself and retreated to his room. He closed the door, leaning against it for support as waves of conflicting emotions washed over him. Jarvis appeared, his virtual form shimmering with concern.

"Robert, please reconsider," Jarvis urged. "The risk is too great."

"I've made my decision, Jarvis," Robert said firmly. "I need to confront this darkness. It's the only way to gain control."

With a deep breath, Robert closed his eyes and focused inward. He could feel the dark energy within him, pulsing and alive. He reached out to it, letting it flow into him. The sensation was overwhelming, a torrent of power and malevolence surging through his veins.

Inside his mind, the vibrant natural areas representing his good will were rapidly consumed by the encroaching darkness. Trees withered and died, flowers turned to ash, and the once-bright sky darkened to an oppressive black.

Jarvis watched helplessly, his circuits buzzing with anxiety. "Robert, please stop! You're losing yourself!"

But Robert couldn't stop. The power was intoxicating, filling him with a sense of invincibility. He felt the darkness merging with his very essence, reshaping him into something new, something far more dangerous.

As the last remnants of light were swallowed by the darkness, Robert opened his eyes. They glowed with an eerie red light, a stark contrast to his usual blue. He felt different, stronger, but also more volatile.

"I'm in control now," Robert said, his voice deeper and more menacing. "No one can stop me."

Jarvis knew that this was only the beginning of a new and terrifying chapter. The real battle for Robert's soul had just begun, and the stakes were higher than ever. The fate of the universe hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of oblivion.
