The alien asked, ''Why? Why take such risks for my worthless life?
What if you fail? Tell me! I have already told you fate is invincible.''
Lucan smiled gently, his expression was calm and tranquil as he replied, ''I may not be smart, but I can think, I may not be strong, but I can fight,
I may not defeat Lord, but I can still win, I may not succeed, but I can try.
Now I am seeking the truth beyond everything, there are only 2 choices for me, which are either regain or repent. Hehe, if I fail, I will try again and again until I succeed, isn't it obvious to you!''
These words changed the vision of the alien, he closed his eyes and cognized all these words.
When he opened his eyes, Lucan was near the mountain, he was examining it, the alien rushed forward.
Lucan said, ''Oh! I need your help, use your cosmic energy.'' The alien replied, ''Sure! But my ability is to only fight using cosmic energy!'' with a solemn expression.
Lucan replied, ''But cosmic energy can be used for any purposes, right?'' The alien asked, ''Yeah, but won't I end up as you, if I do that!''
Lucan replied, ''Trust me! I saved your life, just once help me, if you end up as me, I will definitely help you!''
The alien saw Lucan's confidence, he agreed to help him. The alien asked, ''But now what should I do with my cosmic energy?''
Lucan replied, ''Help me deduce!''
The alien used its cosmic energy, it flowed through Lucan's mind. Since the alien accepted to help him, his cosmic energy worked on Lucan.
Minutes passed, hours passed, the alien felt its cosmic energy dwindling.
He felt it was almost completely used up. He could take it back right now and wait for it to refill again,
but if he did that, all the progress Lucan had now would become useless. But if he continued to use his cosmic energy,
when it fully got over, the time taken to refill it would be longer, and moreover, if Lucan failed to deduce it,
then the situation would be even worse. But the alien chose to believe Lucan.
Soon after a while, his cosmic energy was fully over, but he took a decision which nobody else would ever take.
He converted his life energy into cosmic energy and continued to help Lucan. Soon, wrinkles appeared on his face, he was turning older and older.
Strangely, he did not panic or blame fate like before, he just smiled gently. His lifespan was almost over, only 10 years were left. He closed his eyes and accepted death.
But Lucan made a breakthrough. He suddenly opened his eyes and said, ''Alien, I finally made a breakthrough, now everything can be solved...'' with excitement.
But the excitement faded away as he saw the alien. He asked, ''Wait? Why? What happened here?'' with hesitation.
The alien stopped his cosmic energy and explained everything. He also replied, ''Don't worry! I was indebted to you, you saved my life, you even removed my clouded vision.
If I could help you, then I feel as if I repaid my debt to you, I only have 10 years left now,'' with a smile.
Lucan went silent. The alien now showed his true face, tears rolled down his eyes, he was facing the fear of death.
Lucan laughed and said, ''Don't worry? That should be my dialogue. I knew you were using your lifespan during this deduction,
so I also found a solution for your lifespan too! Hehe! You thought I would not know this.''
The alien's eyes glowed, his lips curled into a faint smile, but he sighed and said, ''And when I thought I had repaid my debt, you made me more indebted.''
Lucan replied, ''Hehe! No worries, I won't ask you to repay them anyway, now let us go, we have to stabilize my cosmic energy and increase your lifespan.''
The alien nodded his head, they both went to a place on the planet where the dead were abandoned.
The alien asked, ''Why are we here?'' Lucan replied with a grin, he took a donut-shaped ring made of metal, it was the size of his palm.
He threw it above the dead. The alien went closer, but after a few minutes, nothing changed.
The alien frowned, but Lucan said, ''Move back! Quickly!'' The alien was confused, Lucan grabbed him and ran back.
The ring engulfed an entire portion of the area, multiple colors glowed above, several spheres formed, all of them went inside Lucan.
The pain was terrifying, Lucan spat out blood multiple times. When the alien came closer to help him,
Lucan waved his hand and asked him to stay back. After a while, he stood up and breathed heavily. His cosmic energy armor was collapsing.
He had previously made it using his own cosmic energy, it shattered into countless fragments.
Lucan was unable to breathe, he needed oxygen. The alien gritted his teeth, he no longer had any cosmic energy left, he had used it earlier.
But now, around Lucan, a new armor was created, it was far more powerful than the previous one. He laughed and shouted, ''I SUCCEEDED, HAHA!''
The alien came closer and asked him to explain everything. Lucan said, ''I first stole a few more things from Lord when he was away, I found many useful tools there.
But I wasn't able to deduce and use them. While deducing earlier, I found this ring-shaped tool.
It helps regain stability by transferring the experience of others, but it causes death, so I used it on the dead.''
Then suddenly, Lucan used his cosmic energy fully to increase the alien's lifespan. Here, we have to notice one thing.
A small amount of life energy gives more cosmic energy, but countless cosmic energy is needed to give even 1 day of lifespan.
After Lucan fully used his cosmic energy, only 3 weeks were added to the alien's lifespan.
Lucan said, ''In my upcoming plans, after leaving this planet, we will go to 2 more planets. In the second one, we can get lifespan crystals.
Then you will gain more lifespan than before, even I would get enough crystals.''
The alien nodded with satisfaction, but he asked, ''How long will that take? I can only live for 10 years and 3 weeks! You need many years to defeat or kill Lord.''
Lucan replied with a wide grin, ''Hehe! No worries, in just 5 years we can reach there! Everything is within my plans.''
The alien asked, ''You can defeat Lord that quickly?'' He did not know Lucan's true intentions, Lucan just laughed without saying anything.
Inside Lord's place, he was training fiercely. The blue guy requested to meet him, Lord ignored him, but when he heard he had a message from Lucan,
he immediately allowed him in.
Lord asked, ''008, you aren't lying, right? You truly have Lucan's message?''
The blue guy was kneeling, he gave the message to Lord. It said,
''Lord, since I broke 30% of the mountain, it is only a matter of time, your death is coming closer.
So I need my spaceship to be built immediately, that too with the help of blue guy (008). Hehe!
And one more special gift for you, I also know about your secret daughter. I also stole a few of your tools, which helped me gain stability.
You might have expected me to become unstable, hehe! And...''
The message ended.
Lord was speechless. He said, ''008, go build Lucan a spaceship immediately, and deliver my message too, FAST!''
The blue guy left quickly. Lord was now feeling fear again, but this time he didn't even meet Lucan, just his message caused it.
He shouted loudly, ''And? AND WHAT, LUCAN!''
His voice echoed throughout the place. Even Lord's wife heard it, but their daughter laughed and said, ''Lucan, you truly satisfied my expectations.''
Lord's wife asked, ''What? You know Lucan? Explain everything! What is happening here?''
