The blue guy moved closer. A ray of light shone over him as stars shone in the night sky. Lucan was now covered in a layer of armor; it used cosmic energy to create a suitable environment for him inside.
Now that he was able to breathe oxygen, the blue guy sighed, "Such a fragile being. You cannot even bring out a cluster of cosmic energy. How will you even go beyond this planet?"
Lucan walked ahead and replied, "Hehe! I will eventually learn it, but I have a doubt?"
The blue guy said, "Speak."
Lucan asked, "How was it that I was able to survive inside the spaceship without the cosmic energy armor?"
The blue guy replied, "We encounter numerous missions from the Lord; we have to go to plenty of planets and stars. Therefore, inside this spaceship, conditions are established so that any type of creature living inside the solar system can survive."
Lucan's eyes widened. He took a piece of paper from his bag and gave it to the blue guy.
"This is—! This is—! Don't tell me... this is paper made from wood!" the blue guy exclaimed.
Lucan nodded his head. The blue guy stopped walking, and the others did too. They examined it and confirmed it was indeed paper. Lucan asked, "In this vast space, trees are the rarest form of mineral, right?"
The blue guy nodded. He remembered that back on Earth, they had left hurriedly without even taking a proper look around. Lucan had even been hiding behind a bush near a tree. If the blue guy had noticed properly, he would have immediately taken the trees, forgetting anything else.
He said, "A pity. Such rare material is wasted by your species!"
Lucan replied, "Well, I don't care about this. I just want to know whether my spaceship can be made."
They opened the paper. It contained details on how to make the spaceship Lucan wanted. The blue guy nodded, "All these materials are available. We can easily make this spaceship, but you won't be alive to use it anyway! Hehe!"
Lucan grabbed the paper and said, "Hehe, blue guy! I will get permission from your Lord easily." Hearing those words, the others started to laugh.
Soon they reached their destination: a huge door covered with many symbols. A giant came out and asked, "Show your permits."
The blue guy showed him the permit, which contained direct orders from the Lord regarding their mission. The giant immediately opened the door without delaying a single instant. They walked through and entered the place of the Lord.
If this were Earth, it would be described as the royal palace of a great king or emperor. There were pillars that seemed never-ending. Lucan touched one; it was made of diamond. He marveled at it. The floor glowed wherever he walked, and he played with the effect like a newborn child.
The blue guy said, "Did he hit his head somewhere earlier?" He pulled him back using cosmic energy.
Lucan rejoined them. There were countless other structures that could not be described or put into words. They reached a point where a small, white, flying alien appeared before them. It looked as if a cat had been combined with a bird; it was cute, small, and had a pair of wings.
Lucan went ahead, grabbed its tail, pulled it down, and took it in his arms. The others gulped at the sight; fear rose in their hearts. The blue guy shouted, "Idiot, put her down! She is the pet of the Lord's wife!"
Lucan asked, "What? Your Lord is married already? I thought he was young. Sigh! An old man is hard to deal with."
As this commotion progressed, another alien walked in. She was purple, her eyes shone like stars, and her gaze was as beautiful as a rose—but also as dangerous as the thorns. She called her pet. It responded by wiggling its ears, but it did not return to her. Lucan was playing with it like a normal cat on Earth. He patted her, and she enjoyed it just as much as a normal cat would.
The purple alien came closer. She said, "Hmm, interesting. She seems to feel safe and comfortable in your hands. She likes you so much that she didn't even respond to my call."
Lucan was a bit startled. He asked, "Oh, don't jumpscare me like that! And who the heck are you?"
The others were kneeling on the ground while he talked casually. The blue guy spoke with sweat all over his forehead, "Lord's wife, forgive that creature's indolence. He is just a C-tier. With your permission, I shall immediately end his life."
She used her cosmic energy and slammed his head down. Her aura suppressed everything in the surrounding area. She said, "You dare to hurt him? My pet likes him. He will be my guest. Nobody must lay a finger on him!"
Lucan said, "Interesting! You control cosmic energy much better than this blue guy! Would ya teach me?"
The others felt an urge to slaughter him immediately, but nobody dared. She said, "Of course. But first, come with me. I will take you to the guest room."
The blue guy said, "Lord's wife, with your permission, may I say one thing?"
She replied coldly, "Speak."
He said, "The Lord gave us a mission. This creature was the objective of our mission. We must bring him to the Lord."
She hesitated and asked, "What? Are you speaking the truth?"
The blue guy said, "No need to doubt us—ask that creature itself!"
Lucan replied, "Yes, their mission was to bring back a unique and interesting creature, which was me! Hehe, although I don't know why they chose me."
She said, "No... usually anything or anyone brought to him from these so-called missions never returned. Then..."
Lucan smiled, "Chill. I will take care of this on my own. It will be interesting!"
She hesitated, "But—"
Lucan took his pinky finger and her pinky finger and made a pinky promise. As she wondered what he was doing, he explained, "We call this a promise on Earth. Now, whatever one says must definitely be fulfilled. I promise you that I will return as your guest. Trust me, hehe!"
He pulled the blue guy up and said, "Stand up, stand up! Come on, let's go. I wanna explore many things! I have no time to waste."
The blue guy didn't move. The Lord's wife said, "Follow his orders. That is my order," as she left.
They quickly stood up. Lucan walked forward while they remained standing still. Lucan said, "Come on, walk! Do I have to order you around every time? Uh!"
As they walked, he asked the blue guy, "Why are you suddenly respecting me? Hehe! But this is fun!"
The blue guy's rage rose. He snorted, "If not for that order, I would... damn it, I can't even say anything!"
Lucan enjoyed it. He was still doing something with his hands. They all peeked to see what it was... he was still holding the pet!
