King nodded his head, "Alright, but wait a minute... are you both really dead?"
The girl smiled bitterly, "Yes, we can no longer be revived! Sigh, it's alright King! Please, just don't think of revenge!"
The boy patted King, "Yes, don't try to kill others and take revenge for our deaths!"
King felt helpless as he asked, "But... that wicked sage! And... the space station killed you! I can never forgive them!"
The boy said, "Well, it's actually our fault too! Because we had dug too deep into the truth and were hence eliminated! Sigh!"
King hugged them both and cried, "But... there is a way to revive you! I will make it happen!"
The girl smiled gently as she patted his head, "Still a child, King? Hehe, you are the exact same as you were when we met you!"
The boy nodded, "Haha, for real, you are still the same!"
King replied, "No, there really is a way! It is the life crystal..."
His friends were stunned, "The crystals are... real? They aren't just a myth?"
King said, "Yes! I have seen them with my very own eyes! Hahaha, so I can save you both! That is more than enough! Forget your story, I am going to save you both!"
The boy asked, "But, will the life crystal agree? The dead must remain dead, right?"
King smiled creepily, "I have my own methods!"
The boy frowned, "King! You shall never harm others, didn't we say to be kind?"
The girl agreed, "Yes—"
King immediately came out of the device as his eyes turned red and tears fell from his eyes.
"I am sorry, I have to do this! Please forgive me friends, I can't be kind and forgive! I will take revenge and revive you both! I swear it on my life."
The Sage saw King coming out, "Done already? So did you decide to change your mind—"
King killed him instantly, "I am sorry, I can't waste my time! I have to find the life crystal! So forgive me for giving you an easy death! Hmph!"
The Sage gritted his teeth, "You... even if you revive them both! They shall hate you for these actions; you can never be with them ever again!"
King sat down and lifted the Sage by his hair, "Old geezer! Shut your freaking mouth, I know that! But I don't care.
As long as my friends are alive! Even if they abandon me, haha, I can be at ease, protecting them forever with this life of mine.
For me, just them being alive is the ultimate goal and purpose of my existence! Hmph, folks like you don't understand these emotions.
Humans... they are really the greatest creatures ever, having emotions! And they are better than us aliens in every single way!
But for the sake of your selfishness, you labeled them C-tier and merged them into that tiny Earth.
Lucan... I am sorry, I have to really thank your ancestor for giving me this greatest power in the cosmos.
Feelings! Emotions! Ah! I love this shit!"
King waved his hands as he laughed crazily.
The Sage's heart pounded faster and faster; he thought of fleeing.
But King killed him on the spot.
"One down, one more to go! Brat, where are you?"
The kid was healing himself and was hiding nearby.
He bit his lip in nervousness, "Damn it, if I am caught, I will die instantly!"
King couldn't wait as he flew up, "Fine, I shall destroy this entire space station!"
The kid showed himself, "No, here I am! Just kill me and leave! These innocent lives shouldn't die!"
King smirked, "I already killed most of them, only a few are left. Why are you suddenly acting strange? Hmm..."
The Sage thought, "Idiot! He revealed himself, no! His loved ones will get caught!"
King asked, "Wait a minute, don't tell me that..."
The kid screamed, "Shut up, idiot! Kill me if you can! I am the one who actually killed your friends. I enjoyed every single instant of their deaths, haha!"
But he was still a kid; he could not act properly.
King smiled gently, "Oh, then why is your face showing desperation? Hehe, trying to fool me? You know what... tell me the location of your loved ones and the Sage's too, and I shall kill them all and leave you both alive!"
The Sage groaned in pain, "How cruel is your heart? You wicked creature, you should've been eradicated!"
King stomped his feet on the ground as he yelled, "Then tell me! If you can feel like that, why shouldn't I?
You killed my loved ones and made me suffer! And you want me to forgive you and let you all live?
Haha!"
The kid spoke, "Your friends will never forgive that decision of yours!"
The Sage sighed, as he had already tried that and failed.
King started to laugh, cry, and hit the ground.
He did all of these at the same time, "Why? Why? Why should I suffer like this! I don't know whether to cry, laugh, or slaughter.
What sin did I commit to suffer this way!"
King screamed, and even his throat started to tear in the process.
He hit himself, "If only... if only... I had been with them! I could've saved them.
No! I have to take revenge and revive them!
No! I have to forgive them and just let it all go.
No! Ah! I can't make a decision!"
King clutched his head as he went insane.
The Sage quickly grabbed the kid as they both teleported away randomly.
Both of them landed on a planet, which was just a regular one.
The Sage took the kid and rushed to an empty place.
When he reached a street, which was deserted...
He used his cosmic energy to heal himself, "Phew, that was too close! If King hadn't gone insane, we would've been dead."
The kid slowly opened his eyes as he asked, "Where am I? Oh no, are we both dead and in hell? No—"
The Sage smacked him, knocking him unconscious.
"Sigh, I only have enough cosmic energy to heal myself and this kid! Haha, but we are saved.
The space station aliens were already moved to safety because I predicted such a tragedy.
All those he killed were actually his own race! Hehe, the entire place was under an illusion spell.
Now only King has to be killed! Then the mission will be over. Should I awaken another one of us?
Hmm, let's wait, I just met this kid! Let's see what skills he has!"
The Sage took out a device as he poured a drop of cosmic energy into it.
Instantly, a voice spoke, "Is the entire race dead, Sage?"
The Sage started to breathe heavily as he replied, "Universal Lord! I have accomplished my mission, only one person is left: he is King!"
The universal being replied, "Hmm, he has great potential. Offer him a chance to change his species and we can recruit him!"
The Sage swallowed his saliva as he said, "Universal Lord, I am afraid that isn't possible! He came to know about that secret..."
The universal being spoke with shock, "What! How foolish of me to let an idiot handle this task, idiot! Didn't I clearly say that the secret mustn't be revealed?"
The Sage felt as if he was going to die the next instant, "I am sorry! I am sorry, please just give me one chance! I shall kill him myself the next time I see him."
The universal being said, "Alright, but there won't be a next time."
The Sage was dead even before he could realize it.
The being looked at the kid nearby, and the kid was instantly healed back to full vitality.
The kid said, "Sage! King's gonna kill us, what do we do—"
The being spoke, "Sage is no more. Now I appoint you as the leader of the space station!
Kill Lucan, and Destiny's Heavenly King!"
The communication abruptly ended.
The kid was dumbstruck; he couldn't even process what had just happened!
In the universe, at a random place...
The universal being summoned all the others.
"Things are going exactly as we had planned. Only two are left to be eradicated! Lucan and King.
Lucan is the descendant of that universal human!"
All of the beings there got goosebumps.
"So if he reaches here, that human will be free and..."
One being, who was secretly a spy, thought, "Damn it, I can't let Lucan die!"
As all of them looked in a certain direction...
There was a human who was sealed using galaxies.
He said, "Lucan... you are the final hope for me, the hope of humanity!"
