The eternal abyss of life and death.
The entire fight was over.
Life crystal, Death crystal, future crystals, Kaol Noah, and Crystal of Betrayal.
All were severely injured, and Lord was also in a pathetic state.
But he was unharmed; it was all dirt and dust.
He stood up and opened his eyes. "I win! None of you managed to hit me once! Hehe."
Kaol Noah frowned. "What kind of defense is this? None of us were able to even penetrate it!"
Lord said, "I don't know either. Pride crystal said nobody can break this defense! With the sole exception of..."
Crystal of Betrayal asked, "Lucan! Him, right?"
Lord laughed. "No, me! With the sole exception of me!"
Kaol snorted. "Of course, only you can undo your defense! Hmph!"
Lord laughed. "Although I undo it, it would make no difference! In euthanasia's case!"
Life crystal spoke, "Coward! Undo your defense and stay still, don't dodge! Let me see how you survive it!"
Lord grabbed Life crystal and roared, "I don't care, do it! But don't you dare call me as you wish! Ugly white stone!"
Death crystal went berserk as it punched Lord. "You dare touch him! If we give you a chance, use it; don't act cocky!"
Lord's mouth bled as he felt it with his fingers.
Lord stopped laughing as he closed his eyes, and suddenly, the entire abyss started to shake.
Lord unleashed his power; he had his eyes closed, ears deafened, and nose blocked.
He said, "This is my newest form! Try surviving a hit!"
Lord's body turned bright as it turned purple in color, and his eyes went white and blind.
His ears started to bleed as they went deaf.
His nose got blocked.
Lord rose up in the air and laughed crazily. "Let's play hide and seek! Within this abyss, go and hide anywhere! If I find you, you lose. If I fail to catch all of you at once, I lose and I shall die—or do anything that one person says!"
Life crystal frowned. "Wait... we need to heal ourselves first!"
Lord grabbed Life crystal and said, "Out! One down."
Death crystal got mad as it flew towards Lord and hit him right in the stomach.
Lord's second hand grabbed it. "Two down!"
Kaol Noah and Crystal of Betrayal looked at each other.
Kaol transmitted, "Let's flee first, then let's decide the rest."
Crystal of Betrayal agreed as both of them left the place.
Future Life crystal fled along with Future Death crystal.
Future Death crystal tried to curse Lord, but Future Life crystal held him and saved him.
When they went far enough, it asked, "Why, Life? He is cheating, right?"
Future Life crystal replied, "No, he is also in a bad state and weakened himself severely! If he further heals us and lets us go, he will surely lose!"
Future Death crystal asked, "Like I care? Where did his pride and ego go? Hmph!"
Future Life crystal replied, "No, you are wrong, he never gave up on those two! In fact... let me tell you this. The same incident occurred in our timeline too, where Lord easily captured all of them and we lost. And... Lord had the same form, and he even healed the rest!"
Future Death crystal asked, "I have two questions then. How did we survive later, and why didn't he do it now?"
A voice replied, "Because it would make no difference, it will only delay time!"
Future Death crystal defended Life. "Who is there! Come out! Lord? You cheated! You heard our conversation!"
But the figure came out—it was Kaol Noah.
Future Death crystal spoke, "You... why are you here? Scheming something!"
Kaol frowned. "No... but I found someone, and I need your help! We can win this!"
Future Death crystal snorted. "Trying to trick me? Nah, too naive!"
Crystal of Betrayal appeared. "We have no business with you, Death! We were talking to Life crystal!"
Future Death crystal turned behind to see Life crystal.
It said, "Life, is this a scheme? Can we trust them?"
Future Life crystal replied, "Yes, because we have to escape from Lord! Which is our objective! The more united we are, the higher the chances."
Future Death crystal sighed. "Huh, looks like we have no other choice. Tell us how you need our help!"
Kaol Noah grinned widely as he brought out two dead.
One was purple in color and had eyes as beautiful as the stars; her aura was bright and strong.
One was a mysterious figure who could teleport from one place to another instantly.
The figure spoke, "I am Lord's daughter! Revive both of us and we can defeat Lord!"
All four of them were stunned.
Kaol Noah retreated back several steps. "Damn it, I was playing with fire!"
Crystal of Betrayal retreated beside him. "Yeah, and who are you?"
The purple figure replied, "Lord's wife! We were killed by him very long ago during Lucan's flee! He destroyed the entire planet."
Future Life crystal asked, "How does reviving you help us?"
Lord's daughter spoke, "You see, Lord was controlled and forcibly married to my mom, because if his pride had reached its peak, some unthinkable thing... would happen. Hence, he was suppressed and locked in there. We both were monitoring him, and everything was fine until one day, a human kid arrived! He stimulated Lord and brought his pride back! That freaking Lucan!"
Future Life crystal frowned. "I knew it, all this chaos is due to him! Hmph! A C-tier creature from another solar system... how did he manage to cause this many disasters!"
Lord's wife said, "If you can revive us, and Lord sees us, he will lose his pride for having married another person. According to his pride, nothing was equal to him! Even that kid is in last place! So he will definitely feel disgraced and commit suicide!"
Kaol laughed. "This is amazing! Lord, prepare for your death! My first kill! You guys take care of this, I shall bring Lord here!"
Future Life crystal instantly revived both of them.
Future Death crystal frowned. "But... the dead must stay dead!"
Future Life crystal replied, "But we have to win and save our past selves! Or else even we would disappear! Idiot!"
Crystal of Betrayal said, "Alright, I shall assist Kaol!"
All of this was witnessed by a person who was hiding in the abyss secretly.
He was Zacian! He had a completely new look compared to before.
His hair was short and cool, he wore a pair of black gloves with dark black shoes.
He wore sunglasses as he said, "Hmm, this situation looks interesting! Time to go on an adventure."
He removed his stealth suit as he turned visible.
All of them saw him as he said, "Yo, I am actually a social streamer! For my account, my followers want me to do crazy stuff which they weren't able to do. My goal is to become the no. 1 streamer in the world!"
Everyone started to look at him weirdly. He just waved a goodbye as he took out a device.
He threw it, and a vehicle appeared before him.
He sat upon it, started it up, and moved towards Lord.
All of them had their mouths wide open as Future Death crystal asked, "Is he an idiot? What am I even witnessing?"
Future Life crystal said, "Is this guy my creation? I cannot believe it! How did I make such a being?"
Zacian saw Kaol and Crystal of Betrayal running towards him.
Kaol asked, "Who the hell are you? Why are you coming here?"
Crystal of Betrayal said, "Ignore him and run! We will die if we even stop for an instant!"
Lord grabbed him and said, "Three down! Now, you annoying pest, how dare you try to trick me!"
Kaol Noah saw a giant hand coming to grab him. His face turned pale, he closed his eyes, and started sweating.
Despite the fact that he was immortal...
When he opened his eyes, he felt wind rushing past his face—he was traveling in a vehicle.
Zacian said, "Yo, my viewers said if I saved you, I would get a thousand likes! So thank you!"
Kaol Noah blinked continuously. "Our life is in danger and you are thinking about likes! Idiot!"
Zacian grinned. "Likes are my life, dude!"
