The blue guy survived! Pink girl was the first one to rush over, followed by the fate guy and slimes. The leader slime and Lucan were at the headquarters, discussing something important.
The leader slime said, ''Lucan! We can remake the same spaceship for you! Or else! Would you wish for a better one?''
Lucan replied, ''No! Make me the same one! Because I am going to travel alone from here!''
The leader slime was slightly taken aback. He stood up as he asked, ''But! Won't it be...be hard for you? Like, you will have to take care of everything on your own! And don't forget you still would face backlash if you use any other moves!''
Lucan commented, ''For my goal! I must cross the Milky Way galaxy! At that time, these people would hesitate! They would not agree with me! And moreover, I know about the backlash!
So I am going to practice certain important moves here! Only after which, I am going to leave! My goal has no reason for these aliens to risk themselves! They all have their own intentions!
Don't worry! I would definitely discuss this matter with them before taking a decision! And thank you for the golden butterfly! It is the sole reason for my survival!''
As he said that, his gaze shifted past the golden butterfly. It was flying near him. When it heard his words, it flew close and nuzzled him.
The leader slime was actually surprised to see this. He stated, ''Lucan!...How...Are you even doing this!?''
Lucan asked, ''Why? Is there anything strange!? Tell me!''
The leader slime didn't reply, but took him to a place. Lucan followed him back.
They reached a dead end. The leader slime placed his palm on the walls. Rays scanned him in a single instant, and a digital screen revealed itself. It verified his fingerprints (every finger).
It checked every piece of information about him. Lucan was perplexed to see such advanced technology. Smoke spread, and four metal walls surrounded them all.
Blue and red lights flashed for an instant. They had gone underground. A chamber was in front of him, and it had a simple appearance.
Lucan doubted it. The leader slime laughed as he spoke, ''Lucan! Clear your doubts! Try opening the door!''
Lucan nodded as he swiftly moved forward.
There was a hole. All he had to do was tap on four corners of the hole and then insert his hand through it. The leader slime seemed excited for some reason.
Lucan thought, ''I can't simply try this on my own! Hmm!''
He retreated back, saying, ''There is something fishy! I have no doubts! It would be better if you could open it by yourself!''
The leader slime opened the door. He patted Lucan as he remarked, ''Hehe! You are truly smart! See what would happen if somebody other than us slimes tries to open the door!''
He showed Lucan a video. An alien was standing in front of the same door. He was laughing heartily as he snorted, ''Fools! I easily infiltrated here! Hehe! Now all I have to do is open this door and get the treasure!''
He tried opening the door. In that instant, he vanished.
The leader slime added, ''Can you find out what had happened to him, Lucan!?''
Lucan played the video on loop.
He keenly noticed every minute detail. After reviewing it for the 30th time, he had figured it out. His throat went dry as he gulped down saliva. His brows frowned at the leader slime.
The leader slime showed a wide evil grin.
Lucan explained, ''He was killed! At the speed of light! Moreover, from what I could understand, this mechanism would kill the intruder through their own weaknesses!''
The leader slime clapped his hands as he exclaimed, ''Wow! Truly genius! You even noticed that detail! Haha! Good, very good! Yep, it would analyze the creature and kill them in the most inevitable way possible!''
Lucan jumped back. He held onto an attacking stance as he roared, ''Are you trying to kill me?''
The leader slime showed an innocent appearance. He whimpered with kind eyes, ''Why would I?''
Lucan clenched his teeth as he asked, ''Ugh! Teaching you emotions is the main mistake I made! Drop the act!''
The leader slime sighed as he replied, ''Marvellous! You saw through it! A pity!
Lucan! Don't worry! I won't kill you! I just need help!''
His eyes showed deep killing intent as he continued, ''I am not that dumb! In fact, no one is! Currently, no one can escape from your time-stopping move! And moreover!
If someone killed you, Lord wouldn't just watch by! He would annihilate them entirely! If not for these two reasons, you would have likely been killed by me already!
Now back to the topic! I want to know how you tamed the golden butterfly! Say it, and I will give you the spaceship for free and do anything you ask me to! Hehe! It would be a fair deal!''
Lucan laughed.
''Tame it? Me? Hehe! You are mistaken! No one can do it!'' he replied.
The leader slime frowned as he asked, ''So, you think I am a fool! And I am blind! I saw it with my very own eyes!''
Lucan nodded at him as he chuckled, ''What you saw was 100% true! I won't fake it, but your interpretation was wrong!''
As he finished speaking, he held the neck of the leader slime. It was slippery and smooth, too hard to grip, but Lucan used cosmic energy, so it wasn't that difficult. He had a certain doubt.
He asked, ''If I say it! Would it benefit the righteous! Your slimes!''
The leader slime's eyes glowed as he immediately exclaimed, ''Definitely! I can guarantee you!''
Lucan laughed loudly as he mentioned, ''Hehe! Got you! Imposter!''
He used cosmic energy to pull something out. An alien flew out of the leader slime's mouth.
Deep fear was etched into his eyes, and his actions became stammered and panicked.
The leader slime felt a change as he inquired, ''Lucan! What had happened! Where am I!?''
Lucan explained, ''Hehe! Leader slime! This intruder is from the space station! He possessed you! He found out the secret of the golden butterfly! He even tried to kill me!''
The alien begged for mercy. Lucan put down the leader slime and grabbed the alien. Lucan transmitted information to the leader slime, who showed a desperate expression.
He apologised to Lucan, ''Forgive me! Lucan! And thanks for saving me!''
Lucan nodded at him.
The alien asked, ''How did you find me?''
Lucan replied, ''Your actions were strange from the beginning! And when I said righteous! Your freaking reaction showed it!
Hmm! Next time, send an alien who can act well! But these are just side factors! The main reason was the leader slime, whom I knew could not use emotions properly! But you were flawless!
Hehe! Sometimes, being too perfect is also dangerous!''
He tossed the alien to the leader slime as he added, ''It is your decision! Later, let's decide about him!''
The leader slime nodded. He left to make the alien get arrested in a jail-like setup because he couldn't expose more secrets to the space station.
They moved ahead. After reaching the place, Lucan doubted his own senses, whether he was awake or in a dream. There were millions of golden butterflies flying above him.
He saw a phenomenal scene. They resembled fireflies lighting up the dark night. It was truly spectacular. The golden specks falling down made the ground resemble a gold mine.
The sound of their flapping was like nectar to the ears. Their soft movements could make any person love them.
Lucan's golden butterfly flew away from him towards the group.
The leader slime said, ''We have countless of them! But we were only able to control one! Which we gave you!
It took hundreds of thousands of years just to control this one, yet we barely managed it. But you formed a close and deep affectionate bond with it. If we could get your help, all slimes would be grateful to you!
Lucan! Will you help us!?''
