The crystal of desperation smirked "Too naive king! I thought you would have at least a bit of knowledge about crystals!".
King smiled as he said "Yeah, you are right, I have to still learn more".
The crystal went silent for moment "...", before saying "King! You truly live up to your praise, such an attitude.
I have never seen any other being, ever since my birth!".
King shook his head "I just accepted my fault, and I become a kind person? Sigh!".
The crystal laughed "King, become my owner, It will be fun to stay with you".
King's gaze turned different "Hmm! But you tried to harm that girl? And almost killed her, first, wouldn't you try to kill me? Second, why did you do so?".
The crystal of desperation explained about the tragedy of slime, organization's schemes, org 690 killing and stealing it.
Hearing each incident made king gasp in awe "Organization! I will remember this, but org 690 did that out of her emotions.
It happens, even I lose my composure sometimes".
"Yes, she killed that member right in front of me, so she deserved that".
King smiled gently "You can't decide other's life, it is their own to decide".
The crystal said "Destiny's heavenly king!
Taking you to him, I can, but won't do it!".
King's expression turned different as he asked "Why can't you take me? Could you explain your reason?".
The crystal spoke "Because he is not at a place, where anyone would dare to step in or even think about...".
King replied "Hmm, such a place, I can only recall one place".
His eyes widened and body trembled in fear as he asked "Please don't tell me...It is...the eternal abyss of life and death".
The crystal of desperation turned desparate "I hate to say it, but king, it is really that place!".
King gulped down his saliva as he went into deep thought.
Silence echoed throughout the place.
The entire place was densely quiet, that one could hear their own heartbeat.
After a few pondering, ling spoke "I decided, I am going in!".
The crystal asked "But...your life?".
King laughed "If I can't help others with my life, for what am I even living? Hehe! But don't get me wrong, I do have fear, anxiety, hesitation.
But, I can't let them interfere, because imagine myself or yourself in that scenario, you would wish for a person to do the same for you, right?".
The crystal laughed "King, Alright, if you are that reckless, let me join you too! Haha! Even if I die, I can ressurect again, so I don't fear death, but I fear a thing.
That is not reaching the hands of right people!".
King replied "Don't worry, there are far more good people here, even better than me, whom I have personally witnessed!".
The crystal asked "THAN YOU? IMPOSSIBLE! LIES, ALL ARE LIES".
King sighed "Why are you all reacting like I am a saint? seems like I have to maintain a low profile.
Okay, let's go to that place!".
The crystal replied "Let's go in the spaceship of org 690, she's heading to the same place!".
King nodded his head as he reminded "You still have to apologise to her! But not for namesake, only after you realize it".
Both of them flew towards the spaceship and the crystal broke the windshield and flew inside.
Org 690 was alarmed as she rushed to the place, she spoke "Why did you come back? Do you want to kill...me?".
The crystal decided to have some fun "Yes, now choose how will you die!
There are some special offers and discounts-".
It was grabbed by king as he stared at the crystal with a sharp cold gaze.
It said "Haha! Nice try kimg, but you should know my true power before-".
King released his aura, just a trace or like 1%.
The entire surroundings made the crystal suffocate as it saw king with widened eyes.
It saw a ln enormous power behind king, it was like a fierce beast, caged behind bars.
The crystal flew away and landed on org 690's hands.
Her pupils shrank into pin size as she retreated back subconsciously.
King returned to his normal state as he absorbed his aura back.
He said "I am righteous, but not like the one, you both have seen or heard.
Those were my act".
The crystal spoke respectfully "But...why this attitude with us? Aren't you righteous?".
King laughed as he said "I am good, but if you are crossing your bottom line, then even I can't stand doing nothing.
And, because of my power, this beast tries to possess me, the side effect is my another side, you see now".
As he said that, he grunted in pain and fell down, he held his head and hit himself down.
Till he bled, once the pain assaulted him, he returned back to his normal state.
His gaze shifted pass the both, they had pale expressions.
King stood up as he said "What you have seen isn't me!".
It was a switch personality, it is one of the side effects I gained during....
Huh! I am trying for years to suppress this, but...I am sorry for making you two afraid".
Org 690 went closer, step by step, with her heart pounding.
The crystal said "No, no, fool, you will die, get back!".
She didn't respond as she moved forward without any deviation.
King replied "Yes, even I suggest you to keep a distance, because I didn't regain my control back!".
She ignored his words and eventually reached him, she started healing him, his wounds started to heal.
Within a few minutes, all of his injuries were gone, not even a scar was left behind.
Ling eventually regained himself as he said "Thank you, org 690! I am indebted to you-".
Org 690 interrupted him "No, I was indebted to you for saving my life, which is what I have tried to repay now!".
King's expression eased as he said "If you don't mind, will you take me to the slime! Whom you are going after?".
She had a joyful expression on her face, she nodded her head immediately with no hesitation.
King smiled warmly as he said "Now, we have to do something about this...".
Both of their gazes turned towards the crystal of desperation.
It had a frightened expression as it fled out instantly.
Org 690 frowned "This...King, shall I go after it?".
King shook his head "No, we have to first go to the slime, leave it, I will take care of it later!".
She started the spaceship as they flew off towards the eternal abyss of life and death.
On their way, org 690 asked "Can you explain about what had happened to you? Just curious to know!".
King smiled gently "Alright, it is actually related to cosmic beasts!".
She gasped "Cosmic beast? Like the one...".
King was stunned too, he asked "You know about cosmic beasts? Wow! I'm surprised".
Org 690 replied "There is nothing in this world, which the organization never knows about, it knows about everything!".
King asked "Hmm! But the organization's main task is to collect cosmic relics and artefacts right? Atleast, from what I know!".
Org 690 laughed mockingly "Too shallow, organization will do anything you want! Just if you pay the price.
You can even hire our members in your space station!".
King asked "What price? Because from all those what you say, the price must be too high right?".
She nodded her head "Yes! It is either a cosmic artefact, or...
Lifespan!".
"LIFESPAN! HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE?" King gasped.
Org 690 jumped back as she took a fighting stance "You! You aren't king, who are you? Answer me!".
King's lips curled up as he raised his hands "Ah! Too bad, my disguise is always perfect, but my actions aren't, hehe! What do you think org 690?".
She gritted her teeth "You are from organization? What do you want?".
He replied "Of course, you violated our rules and killed a fellow member, and stole our artefacts! And even lost it!
How can you flee that easily? After all, your life itself was revived by the organization!".
She snorted "First, show me your true appearance!".
He sighed "Well you are right, it's pointless to have a sword, which can't strike!".
