The cosmos shifted his gaze towards Lord, who had arrived in the eternal abyss of life and death.
Inside there, Lord woke up. He saw himself lying down on a soft mattress! It was made of cosmic energy.
He could sense it through his body.
He laughed, "Hahaha, a fan of mine! And he/she tried to save my life...
Hahaha, how foolish, my life will never be in any danger! It has never been, nor will it ever be in one..."
The cosmos smirked mockingly, watching from the unknown.
"Hehe, never ever... interesting! It's because your memories were altered by me, of course.
But what fascinates me is, even if you had those memories, your words would be exactly the same without a flinch..."
Lord spoke loudly, "But since you have gone through all this effort, I know you are my fan and too shy to meet me!
Hahaha, don't worry. Although you are dumb, I respect the respect you have given to me! Come on out."
Nobody came. In fact, not even a single person appeared to live there.
Lord flew out; he floated above the vast barren landscape, trying to find the hiding person.
But he found nothing and nobody living there.
He grinned, "Ah, I see. The world itself is my fan! It did all this for me, hahaha."
The cosmos laughed at his stupidity, "Good thing that I didn't let that new version of Lord exist.
He would've been far more overpowered! Hehe, moreover, I enjoy watching this version of this guy!"
Lord then attempted to fly out of the abyss, but he wasn't able to.
He frowned, "Hmm... who dares to restrain me! The Lord!"
His rage exploded as he started to destroy the entire abyss, hoping when it got fully destroyed, he would be able to move out.
But suddenly, he saw two figures flash by for a millisecond.
His eyes were glowing with a trace of excitement. He said in a cold tone, "A worthy opponent? Hehe, that speed! Amazing, he is...
Bad! But others are way too weak and pathetic, so getting a bad title from me means he might be interesting."
Lord laughed, "However... compared to the speed of Lord, even the speed of light will gasp."
But the two figures never appeared again!
He frowned, "Ignoring me? Huh, cockiness... I love it."
Lord started to destroy the abyss, which would ultimately force the enemies to come out of their hiding spot.
He madly crushed the abyss, but soon lots of weird things flew out.
They were the dead souls of the world!
Many of them jolted around, "We're finally free! Seems like both the life crystal and death crystal have died somehow."
Another one replied, "Hahaha, it's time to return to our homes. Our families will be pleased to see us!"
Another one nodded, "We will make bodies for ourselves too."
But one soul smirked, "Fools, if both life and death themselves are killed, then imagine: would we ever survive him first?"
Everyone's gazes shifted past the soul.
It was Sage! One of the elite members of the space station aliens.
Behind him, a child spirit was also there. He was the other elite member of the space station aliens.
Seeing them both, everybody started to make way.
"Then are we simply going to die?"
"So it was hopeless after all. We're simply going to get sealed forever down there, alone..."
Sage grinned, "Not exactly. Look, the person isn't intending to do something to us.
He is focusing on something else, which means we mustn't get caught in his eyes until he leaves.
Let's stay hidden underground!"
All of the souls accepted this strategy and hid in the depths of the abyss with rapidly beating hearts.
It almost sounded off in their chests.
Lord grew mad as he felt incapable of finding those two speedsters.
He gathered his cosmic energy into a colossal structure.
He laughed, "That kid, Lucan! He said something like nuclear boom! I remember facing it; it instantly erased everything from existence.
As if the things didn't even exist, not even an atom remained.
Hehe, if I use this, he will definitely come out to beg for his life!"
Seeing it, the souls started to panic.
Sage sighed, "We all are dead, so it wouldn't kill us at all! Relax, we should only be afraid of losing our hiding spots."
Lord made it extremely big to make sure nothing survived it.
Even Sage was stunned; he felt as if there was a solar eclipse. Lord's huge nuke hid the sun!
As he was about to throw it, just as he expected, a figure appeared.
He surrendered, "I give up, please stop! Don't kill me."
Lord laughed, "Haha, Lucan kid, seems like my intelligence overwhelms even you!"
The cosmos heard it and started laughing crazily.
"YOU! INTELLIGENT THAN THAT KID? HAHAHA, LORD, YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT COMEDIAN! OH HEAVENS, I MIGHT DESTROY THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE DUE TO THE STOMACH PAIN I GOT FROM LAUGHING, HO, HO..."
Lord said, "Show me your face. Who are you?"
The person walked out.
Seeing him... Lord was astonished as he went speechless for a moment...
Back on Earth...
Lucan woke up in his bedroom, panting heavily.
He said, "Damn it, such great power! I'm truly surprised. My calculations say that... this power is way out of my league!"
The cosmos shifted his gaze past him, "And your calculations aren't wrong, kiddo! Hahaha..."
Lucan grinned, "So what? Hahaha, whoever did this is actually a genius."
The cosmos was stunned for a moment as he went through Lucan's mind, checking the sudden reason for his excitement.
Then he realized that Lucan was all along deciding to return to Earth...
Lucan laughed, "So now? I am finally out of that hell? Good, now I can focus on my goal in peace.
First, I need to interpret the information I had obtained from the child guy and see how much farther I can move out...
Next, I have to travel using the golden butterfly and search through other worlds and verses.
Without gaining any attention; if I did so, then my goal would never get hindered, hehe!
Then..."
As Lucan was planning his life ahead...
The cosmos frowned, "Hmm... this isn't interesting. He's super perfect, showing no flaws unlike Lord.
Hehe, Lucan, time for you to actually become interesting! For which, I need to reset him... but without altering his memories!"
After a while, the cosmos smirked, "Fate Crystal wanted to reset everything so badly! Hahaha, Fate, it seems we are on the same side."
The cosmos simultaneously contacted Fate Crystal through his place.
Fate Crystal froze in disbelief, "T... H... E.... COSMOS!"
In the blink of an eye, he was inside an endless, vast cosmic space filled with celestial entities.
Fate Crystal felt heavenly delusions stumbling upon him. He felt so high that even the word 'high' wasn't enough to describe the feeling...
Feeling absolute peak, Fate Crystal floated peacefully in the void...
Suddenly, the voice of Cosmos spoke, "Fate Crystal!"
Immediately, Fate Crystal returned to his seriousness, although he couldn't bear the feeling of delusion.
He replied with esteemed respect, "Oh Cosmos, the one who is beyond space, time, and reality itself!
I wonder why you would summon this insignificant being..."
The cosmos shrugged, "This is why I love Lord. You all act with too much respect towards me... but I see the truth.
It is just fear! Huh, I'm not a mortal or an immortal, Fate. Your sense of respect and feelings don't matter to me.
Just be yourself, Fate!"
Fate Crystal nodded, "Ok... I will! Why did you summon me, Cosmos? Have I committed an injustice?"
The cosmos smirked, "Didn't you say you wanted to do a reset? For everything and everyone here?"
Fate Crystal's eyes widened, "So... I can! I can reset?"
A sudden surge of joy filled his face. Fate Crystal's depressed face had a pleasant smile appearing over it for the first time, naturally...
The cosmos laughed, "Go do it! Just don't erase the memories of these two."
"Which two?" Fate asked with a bit of eagerness.
"Lord, Lucan..." the cosmos laughed heartily.
Fate's expression took a sudden change...
