Lord roared as he chased both of them.
Zacian asked, "Okay, tell me about your plan! What do I do?"
Kaol replied, "Oh... hmm, wait, I forgot!"
Zacian's face turned pale, but he managed to keep his cool.
He stopped his live stream as he shouted, "Idiot! I risked my life because I knew you guys had a plan!"
Kaol snorted, "As if I care! Let's just flee! Can't you?"
Zacian smiled bitterly, "I can't, because of this live stream!"
Kaol screamed, "Are you kidding? You want to do your live stream now?"
Zacian shook his head, "No! To prove to my viewers I am really risking my life, I made sure that I cannot flee! My bad, well, I don't care either way.
Even I want to do this live stream!"
He started his live stream again, "Sorry folks, the reason why I had to stop is because this person wanted to do some... freaky thing and wanted privacy!"
Kaol tried to speak, but Zacian shut his mouth tight as he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there behind me you see Lord! Yes! Him! Take a look!"
His camera turned towards Lord as the viewers started to increase.
A lot of likes, comments, and followers hit him.
A comment said, "Prove it's not AI! How can we trust you?"
Zacian handed the vehicle to Kaol as he stood up.
Kaol frowned, "Hey, I don't know about this thing! What do I do?"
Zacian ignored him as he jumped ahead, taking the camera.
He walked towards Lord as he said, "Okay, now I will hit him and you can verify the truth!"
Zacian jumped high in the air as he leaped over Lord's shoulder.
He stomped hard, but his legs broke as they fractured.
He screamed in pain, but Lord's hands had already caught him.
His camera slipped off as it fell over Lord's shoulder, broadcasting this.
The commentator said, "My bad, sorry!"
Zacian grunted as he struggled to flee.
Kaol laughed, "Hahaha, that's what you get trying to be a hero! Bye-bye—"
But his vehicle moved towards Zacian as he also reached Lord.
Zacian said, "My vehicle can be controlled by my will! Now save me!"
Kaol frowned, "Why the heck should I do that? Get lost!"
But soon, he was also caught.
Lord laughed, "Only 3 more to go! Kaol is out! And... who are you?"
Zacian said, "I am your fan! Your biggest fan in the world! See, I tried to take a picture with you and upload a video!"
Lord grabbed him along with the camera. Pleased, he laughed, "Ah, good boy! You could have said so earlier, I would have flexed some more!"
Kaol gasped, "Lord! He's lyi—"
Lord threw him away as he shrank himself.
He came back to his original form and said, "Ok, let me start your video now! Never miss even a single thing! Get it?"
Zacian nodded as he pointed the camera towards Lord.
Lord said, "Haha, my dear fans and followers, today I will show you how to defeat crystals and immortals!
Already 3 are down, as you have seen. Now for the other 3—all of them are the strongest of the strongest.
Only behind me... and Lucan! Follow me, cameraman."
Zacian had a pale face as he started to sweat.
He silently agreed as he ran behind Lord.
Lord laughed, "I shall use my base form so that you can get a full view! Editors, I want you to edit me.
Use super cool music! And don't forget to include the text 'The GOAT'!"
Zacian looked at the chat as he said, "Guys, make sure you do that," then he silently whispered, "Please guys, save me! Please do something!"
The Crystal of Betrayal was watching from above, "Who called this moron here? He messed up everything! I have to lure Lord now."
The Crystal of Betrayal hit Lord with its full power, allowing a few to flee.
Lord was hit as smoke erupted around him.
As the smoke cleared, Lord's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, looking in the direction of the attack.
He smirked, "Hehe, Crystal of Betrayal? Easiest game of hide-and-seek ever! Here I come!"
The Crystal of Betrayal had its heart pounding loudly.
It screamed in fear as it rushed to the planned location.
The Future Life Crystal waited in boredom, "Ah, it's so boring! What are those two doing? They're so late!"
The Future Death Crystal frowned, "Looks like that new guy must have caused a ruckus!"
Lord's daughter spoke, "Let me check, I can teleport!"
The Future Death Crystal nodded, "Go ahead, we will defend you both! Go with your mom.
Let's go there—if we can't bring him here, we've got to go there!"
Lord's wife hesitated, "But... Lord is still innocent!"
The Future Life Crystal screamed, "Are you nuts? Crazy fool! Ah, mortals!"
The Future Death Crystal blinked a couple of times, "Are you dumb, or is life dumb for creating you?"
Lord's daughter sighed, "Mom! Leave it, that guy is actually a monster! I even proved it to you before!"
With this dilemma, all four of them teleported instantly towards Lord.
Lord's wife and daughter stood right before his eyes.
The Future Life Crystal used its power, teleporting the Future Death Crystal, Life Crystal, Death Crystal, Kaol, Noah, and the Crystal of Betrayal underground.
It was breathing heavily, "Everyone, the 4 of us have won! But... staying up there is dangerous!"
The Future Death Crystal replied, "Bro! I should've protected you, not the other way around!"
Kaol asked, "Who the hell is he? He made me lose!"
The Future Life Crystal asked, "Wait... you lost? You got caught?"
He nodded his head, "Because of that stupid streamer!"
The Crystal of Betrayal said, "Yes, he almost caught me too!"
The Future Life Crystal replied, "So only 3 of us won? Not bad, we can get 3 wishes from him, huh! Just like a genie lamp!"
Above the ground:
Lord was stammering as he said, "Zacian, turn off the camera!"
Zacian was slow, so Lord destroyed it instantly.
Zacian's camera was destroyed into fragments as he hid in a corner.
Observing this scene, Lord's daughter smirked, "So, how is it? Meeting us! You murderer!"
Lord clenched his fists, "How are you two alive? I thought you both were dead."
Lord's wife said, "Lord... Please stop all this, we can—"
Lord immobilized her, "Shut up, fool! You both tricked me due to my race's hypocrisy and predictions.
Do you think I am an idiot?"
Lord's daughter hit him with her full power while Lord stood still.
She said, "Filthy beast, die! Die! Die now, at my hands!"
Lord yawned, "I don't wanna dirty my hands picking on weaklings. Killing you both is a disgrace to myself!"
Lord's daughter clenched her teeth as she thought of an idea.
She snorted, "But imagine the world knowing our existence, hehe, your pride will be lost! Right?"
Lord's subconscious mind told him to kill both and erase their very existence.
But his hand stopped him as he started laughing, "I can't kill you! But I have to kill you! Hehe, I have a solution!"
Lord's daughter took a fighting stance, "If you attack me—pride, pride! Don't forget!"
Lord replied, "My fan! Prove your loyalty by killing these annoying pests!"
Zacian came out as he pointed at himself, "Me... is it me?"
Lord frowned, "What do you mean 'me'? Who else here is my fan?"
He walked ahead and met Lord's daughter.
Lord laughed, "Kill her, she is my daughter! And that nearby is my wife! Kill them both, fast!"
Zacian turned around as he screamed, "You have a wife and daughter? Lord! You have them!"
Lord gritted his teeth, "Stop announcing it aloud and kill them!"
Zacian realized that he lacked the power to kill them; if he tried, he would be crushed.
He swallowed his saliva as he said, "Lord, this is all a scheme of the Future Crystals, Kaol, and the Crystal of Betrayal! They fled underground, I guess."
Lord roared, "What! Explain it clearly!"
Zacian sighed, "Then will you let me leave this place safely? Without doing anything else?"
Lord roared, "I swear on my pride and ego, now speak!"
Zacian had a creepy smile on his face as he blurted out the entire truth—he snitched on them all.
The Crystal of Betrayal felt it, as he had the powers of the Pride Crystal too.
His heart sank to rock bottom, "Friends... that guy snitched on us to Lord."
