Life crystal frowned, "Looks like we have to use it now! Future me...".
Future life crystal replied, "Yes, but someone has to buy some time."
Kaol sat down, "I can't, I'm exhausted and my cosmic energy's almost over."
Crystal of betrayal said, "I can buy time, but I can't do it alone."
Life crystal said, "Death crystal and Future death! Both of you help him buy us time!"
Death crystal replied, "Alright life, you can trust us!"
Future death crystal nodded in silence.
Life crystal closed its eyes as it released its powers, and Future life crystal did the same.
A bright white light shone over their bodies as they instantly vanished.
Crystal of betrayal panicked, "Wait... did they flee?"
Kaol shook his head, "If he could, then death crystal wouldn't have been abandoned! He is literally trying something."
Death crystal replied, "You are smarter than before, Kaol!"
Kaol snorted as he ignored it.
Far away in space, the sky was full of big stars, and the ground was full of vitality.
The entire place had full vitality; a big white-colored crystal was floating above.
With a deep white glow and serene presence, it had an unlimited lifespan; basically, it was truly immortal.
It is existence itself, the creator who even created creation itself.
The god of life and creations! Life crystal!
Its aura was too big to even conceive of.
Life crystal said, "Life! I am the life crystal of this solar system, we need help!"
Life crystal didn't open its eyes as it replied, "I understand your desperation, but you are overreacting. I am the life crystal of the galaxy!
Calling me for such petty things is naive."
Future life crystal spoke, "No, I was almost killed in my timeline! You have to do something about Lord."
Life crystal calmly spoke, "It wasn't your fault; it was the fault of time crystal, and he did sacrifice his life and save yours."
Future life crystal gasped, "Does the time crystal of the galaxy know about it?"
It replied, "Obviously. Now go back!"
Life crystal (present) said, "With our team, we can kill Lord at our best! That's not a problem, but fate wants him alive."
Life crystal (galaxy) replied, "Then defeat him and capture him! I shall not aid you!"
Future life crystal smirked, "But death crystal's life is in danger! Aren't you worried?"
Life crystal (galaxy) smiled gently, "Even if he dies, the death crystal of the galaxy won't die! So I don't care!"
Future life crystal frowned, "If this was death crystal, he would help us immediately!"
Life crystal of the galaxy sighed, "That's why he is the only crystal forbidden to meet himself from other realms!"
Life crystal (present) was deep in thought as he said, "Okay, we are leaving. Goodbye!"
Future life crystal replied, "No... but we need help!"
Life crystal (present) smirked as he tried to leave.
But suddenly they both were locked up by an invisible force.
Life crystal finally opened its eyes, "The thing is, you are too smart! Tell me, didn't you think of meeting death crystal?"
Future life crystal gasped, "Amazing... life crystal from the present is literally beyond even me!"
Life crystal (present) laughed, "Yes, I did it! I knew you were too dumb! Hahaha."
Life crystal of the galaxy finally lost its cool.
But it was too late... another force freed them both as it held them.
Life crystal and future life crystal were healed instantly as a black-colored crystal held them both.
It had a death aura, a monstrous presence which could erase anything.
The black aura overturned the entire place as it turned into a lifeless void.
The black-colored crystal asked, "Life crystal! Who endangered you? Speak!"
Life crystal of the galaxy sighed, "Death! It's my business, please leave my place!"
Death crystal said, "My friend! I shall help your business, you continue your life here!"
Both of them had a clash.
Death crystal wanted to be selfish for his friend, Life!
But Life wanted to follow the order of fate and leave it unchanged.
Both of them were right in their own ways.
Life crystal didn't even hesitate as it said, "Don't kill him! Just imprison him until I ask him to be released, Death! He is Lord!"
Suddenly a blue light appeared above all of them.
Life crystal's (galaxy) face turned bright, while death crystal's (galaxy) turned pale.
Death crystal unleashed its powers as a black laser pierced the blue light into nothingness.
Life crystal (galaxy) frowned, "Did you erase time crystal?"
Death crystal quickly used his powers as he teleported Life crystal and its future self.
It also sent a strange black stone.
"Life, just show it in front of the person and he shall be captured! Sorry, I have to deal with this guy!"
Life crystal's (galaxy) eyes widened as it went speechless.
Just as life crystal thought he could end Lord's trouble, another figure struck him aside, crushing the black stone.
A purple light flashed as the entire place was overwhelmed under its light.
Life crystal was hurt—so badly hurt.
Future life crystal was only a few inches away from death.
But life crystal of the galaxy laughed as it absorbed both of them within itself, "Pride crystal! Hahaha, you helped me! Thanks."
A voice spoke, "I don't care about you, just stop Death! If he touches Lord, I shall kill him! Warn that scoundrel!"
The purple light instantly disappeared.
Death crystal tried to move as it got immobilized.
An invisible force erased his memories as it took him away.
Only a note was left to all of them in the galaxy (Life crystal, Time crystal, Pride crystal):
"Fate is inevitable. Don't try to change it. Follow my orders without any deviation."
A power struck the entire Milky Way galaxy as everyone involved in this incident was taken back to their initial positions.
Every thought and action changed.
It was like a complete reset!
Life crystal was in the same underground spot as he said, "Looks like we have to... future, wait, what do we do?"
Future life crystal tried hard, but couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
As the chaos continues here, we drift off to a spaceship moving towards a huge, mysterious place.
Inside, Lucan and fate guy smirked at the same time, "We have reached our destination at last!"
It was like a planet, but was completely green in color and was surrounded by absolutely nothing.
No stars, no planets, no moons, no asteroids—only complete nothingness and a spaceship.
Lucan opened the door as a flock of golden butterflies flew off the spaceship.
But one last butterfly remained as it sat on Lucan's shoulder and nuzzled him softly.
He patted it, "Hehe, look, we have finally found a new home for your friends and family!"
The golden butterfly flapped its wings, and golden-yellow specks fell off as the butterfly flew high into the air.
As if there was a sun, light entered this pitch blackness and all of them had a vision.
Then the golden butterfly flew ahead as it led the way.
Lucan tied his hands behind his back as he smiled, "Look, fate guy, how beautiful life is!"
Fate guy laughed as he added, "Absolutely, it is indeed beautiful!"
Lucan sighed, "But people back on my planet wish to end their lives most of the time because living was a curse, it seems. And only death grants true peace!"
Fate guy asked, "You mean... people wish to die more than live?"
Lucan nodded as he walked ahead, "Yeah, come on, let's go. We can't be left behind!"
Fate guy rushed as he caught up with Lucan.
He asked, "Now I get why your species is C tier! Holy moly."
Lucan's gaze shifted past fate guy as he said nothing.
He thought, "If the golden butterfly hadn't been there for me, I would probably be dead! I am grateful that it reawakened after its slumber!"
Lucan grinned as he said, "Alright, let me first research this place! This is going to be interesting!"
