White smoke gushed out of his body, and the entire spaceship started to tremble.
His body glowed a dark red color, as if it were blood.
Org 690's pupils shrank to needle size as she feared who might have been sent by the organization.
His massive aura enveloped the entire spaceship; it was suppressing her and crushing her down.
She felt like a fish fallen out of water.
But her gaze was keenly fixated on the person, because she wanted to know who it was.
He spoke, "Alright, this is my true appearance! Here you go."
She suddenly felt as if the entire surroundings were changing. Within the blink of an eye, she was inside the organization.
In front of a higher-up, he was the same guy who had punished the members, killed Org 700, and revived her.
He spoke plainly, "Huh! You had great potential, but it looks like you don't want to use it."
She gasped at this scene as she stepped back. "How... is this... even possible? I was several miles away!"
She heard a smirk from behind.
She turned around to see a robot. It was completely mechanical; it had literally nothing.
It was so plain and blood-colored, with no face, arms, or legs.
To be honest, not even a single body part.
It bowed down by bending in half as it spoke, "M A S T E R! I H A V E B R O U G H T B A C K T H E T R A I T O R!"
The tall, vague figure stood still, his voice echoing, "Good job. You are going to find all the traitors and eliminate them!
Hehe, in the future, you are the ones who will become our loyal members, replacing this trash."
Org 690 spoke, "Please forgive—"
Her head was sliced off as it rolled down toward the robot.
It said, "M A S T E R, S H O U L D I C L E A N U P T H I S T R A S H? O R D E R M E!"
The figure replied, "Yes, go ahead. Her body will be useful to improve your robot's intelligence and cognition!"
The robot started to collect and preserve her body.
"Org 690! A pitiful thing. She was one of our best members, if only she was loyal... never mind, I have to gain back the Crystal of Desperation," the figure spoke.
The robot stood up and said, "H E R E I S T H E S T O N E!"
The robot threw the Crystal of Desperation. The crystal shouted, "Ah! Leave me, let me go! So it wasn't the king? Damn it, Organization, I will—"
The figure snapped its fingers, and the crystal was shut down. It was like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to break free.
It grew desperate.
The figure grabbed the crystal, speaking, "Haha! The Crystal of Desperation getting desperate! I like this. This one shall also belong to our collection."
The Love Crystal was floating away in space.
It tried to find many others, but none suited it. It sighed, "Looks like I have to return to her. That... damn her! I am not going to her.
Hmph! I have my own self-respect! So... I get it, let me go to that slime guy! Hehe! I just want to have some fun anyway."
It flew in the direction of the slime.
But it suddenly stopped, screaming, "Damn me! It is that place... the eternal abyss of life and death! I am not going there.
I might as well return to her; living is more important than respect!"
The crystal turned its direction back toward Org 690's location.
It felt a strange feeling, so it decided to teleport there directly.
It sighed, "But... I can't teleport from the eternal abyss... Wait! I am actually outside! Haha, I can teleport."
It instantly teleported to Org 690's location, only to see a horrible corpse being used for research.
The Love Crystal saw many robots working on it and studying the body.
The Love Crystal activated its power and came to know about everything.
Instead of turning sad, it let out a sinister laughter.
The robots were alarmed and moved toward the crystal.
It was exposed. The robots tried to capture it, but the Love Crystal was too fast, and it was able to teleport.
The robots started to get confused and began fighting among themselves.
The Love Crystal swiftly reached Org 690's body.
It said, "Thanks Org 690 and Organization! Now I can finally get a body! With no resistance! Hahaha."
It took control of Org 690's body and made it its own, healing the body in an instant.
She changed her appearance into a human form.
She said, "Nice! That human kid, when I got control over his body, I learned about his species.
They are more beautiful and gorgeous than these aliens! Haha, I love this appearance. I wonder what that kid's expression would be...
When he sees me as a beautiful girl of his own species!"
Organization members were alerted about the robots' malfunction, and they rushed to the scene.
The entire place was sealed and locked by various powers and locks.
Nobody could leave the place.
However, the Love Crystal had destroyed the robots and was sitting on top of them.
The members saw the Love Crystal in her human form.
The males had stunned expressions as their faces turned red.
The females snorted coldly and started to mock her.
They heard a loud voice—it was the figure's, speaking, "Stop dazing at the intruder! Capture her immediately!"
Everyone surrounded her and launched their attacks.
Despite their trump cards, the Love Crystal dodged every move as she said, "Well, I also need a name? Hehe! 'Cuz being called 'a crystal' is boring.
Hmm! Celestia Valentine! Good name. It shall be my name from now on."
She yawned as she killed them all in one strike. "Huh, sorry guys, you toys got too boring!"
She killed everyone and everything in her way; even the robots stood no chance.
Since she was a crystal, she had unlimited cosmic energy and faced no instability.
The figure laughed, "Hmm, an averagely strong person. Okay, playtime's over, members!"
Celestia frowned, "Playtime?"
As soon as she said that, she saw the real might of the organization.
Her earlier fights were illusions.
Now facing her, there was a...
Single, small cube.
She mocked, "Haha! Just a metal cube? Looks like you are a weak organization!"
The metal cube opened, and she saw countless crystals inside.
Including the Crystal of Desperation.
She turned silent and retreated several steps back.
The figure's voice spoke, "I know you are the Love Crystal! Seeing your potential, I will let you live as the new Org 690!
Or else...
You know your fate."
She swallowed hard as she felt fear for the first time in her life.
Celestia raised her hands and replied, "I surrender! Please let me stay alive!"
The figure laughed, "Good! New Org 690—"
Before he finished, she vanished from the spot and was outside the organization.
She sighed, "He doesn't know that I can teleport! Hehe, these guys are powerful, but they are too dumb."
She grinned widely like Lucan. "Lucan! Now I get why you always grin! It is such an amazing feeling.
Hmm, now what to do? Let's go and watch some real-life romances! It will be fun and also increase my power."
The eternal abyss of life and death.
Kaol Noah was walking when the ground suddenly split, and he fell down.
He was in complete darkness, but he had no fear—only a cold gaze.
He said, "Death Crystal? Come out, I know it's you!"
A pure white light shone as a voice spoke, "Bad guess! I am the...
Life Crystal! Now prepare to die infinitely!"
Kaol Noah frowned, "So, this place is actually that dangerous?"
The Life Crystal started to kill him.
One time, two times, ten times...
He died almost a thousand times, but the Life Crystal felt it as just a single millisecond.
He groaned in pain, "Why me? Why me? Why do I suffer this much? Please kill me permanently—just don't torture me."
The voice replied, "You stepped into lifespan and defied fate! So you must suffer."
He asked with extreme envy, "But... that shitty bastard, Lucan! He alone is perfectly fine!"
The Life Crystal went silent, "..."
