Barry stood before him. Exhausted. His body covered in temporal soot, eyes still burning with the remnants of the Negative Force. But Lucas stood whole. Blazing. Untouchable.
— Barry Allen... still breathing? — Lucas mocked, stepping forward slowly. — You tried to contain me, redeem me, imprison me... but you never understood.
Barry raised the vial containing the last drop of Negative Force energy.
— If I can't beat you by running... maybe I can erase us both.
Lucas paused for a moment. Then smiled. A soulless smile.
— Do you really think I would run from sacrifice?
Barry threw the vial to the ground.
A wave of darkness swallowed them both.
Silence.
Then, screams.
But only one kept screaming.
From the heart of the black explosion, Lucas emerged.
Alone.
Barry Allen... was no more.
Savitar's armor rebuilt itself around him, now fused with the three Temporal Gems and a dark core where once a human heart had beat.
He looked around. Time knelt before him.
— The only constant... is me.
He raised his hand. And the timelines began to bend like threads.

The Proclamation of the New Order
Lucas — now the Primordial Savitar — appeared simultaneously across all Earths.
On every screen, radio, dimensional rift, or sensitive mind, his voice echoed:
— Time failed you. I broke it. Now, it is mine.
Across every Earth, speedsters instantly lost their gift. The Speed Force had been sealed — redirected exclusively to him.
He looked up at the sky torn by the Rift of the Gods.
— Come then, ancient beings… I run between the heartbeats of chaos.
And then, with a simple gesture:
Savitar restarted the 21st century.
From zero.
But with him in command.
The Destruction of the Remnants
Savitar tolerated no resistance.
Across the remaining Earths, small groups of speedsters attempted to regroup — Nora, Wallace, Avery, even Caitlin and Cisco providing indirect support.
Savitar appeared at the center of the last refuge, a hidden temporal fortress.
— You still have courage?
Nora tried a high-speed attack, but Savitar caught her mid-air.
— I am no longer the one you hunt. I am the hunter.
With a single motion, he drained the Speed Force from everyone present.
They collapsed — slower, weakened, undone.
— All that's left is to accept the new order.
He snapped his fingers.
The world resumed spinning — but now under his will.

The Judgment of All Earths
Savitar stood at the center of the multiverse, before the Court of Time — an assembly of ancient and semi-divine entities.
— You dare challenge my sovereignty? — he roared.
The tribunal responded with a chilling silence.
— You have a choice, — he said, his voice echoing like thunder.
— Bow... and live under my command.
— Resist...
With a gesture, he tore open rifts in space-time and unleashed waves of destruction, reducing entire dimensions to ash.
The tribunal, shaken, bowed.
— I am the end and the beginning. Justice and chaos.

Vengeance Upon the Living Time
The Speed Force, once a balanced entity, was now a realm dominated by Savitar.
He dug deep into the essence of Living Time — the source that sustained all speed — to purge every shadow not born of him.
In a cosmic duel, Savitar clashed with scattered fragments of the Force, obliterating them with limitless speed.
— There is no place for shadows in my realm, — he declared.
In the end, the Speed Force submitted and reshaped itself — a flaming blue crown now resting on his head.

The Coronation of God Savitar
In a tower made of pure temporal energy, Savitar raised his hand.
The entire universe seemed to breathe with him.
The remaining speedsters knelt.
— I am the God of Speed.
He looked to the shattered horizon and smiled.
— Time is my slave, space my track, and eternity... mine to run.
In the sacred silence of the multiverse, an ancient voice whispered:
> "Thus is born a god… but every god bears a shadow he can never outrun."
Savitar turned.
But behind him was nothing…
Nothing but the echo of his own power.
— I am the end.
