On Fate's domain, a bright, golden-yellow, dazzling light shone.
All the crystals bowed down. "Finally, Fate Crystal is here!"
Everyone's attention was switched from Lucan to Fate Crystal.
Kaol's new form felt suppressed. He frowned. "Just its appearance suppresses me? Eh, let's see what it can do?"
Crystal of Betrayal felt something amiss, as his instincts told him to undo his powers. Without a second thought, he turned back to his initial stage.
Everyone heard a voice.
It was grand and magnificent, sounding heavenly to their ears.
"I am Fate! The one who determined and determines everything, every action of yours, every thought of yours.
But... due to the appearance of that kid from the other solar system, everything and every order has changed.
So, I am giving y'all a choice. Just go back and live your life. Don't get in contact with the crystals.
Don't try to change my writings, then I will let you all go back and live!
Or, I shall force it myself!"
Lord woke up and pointed his fingers above. "So you are that bastard who disgraced my pride multiple times? Huh? Now taste my—"
Lord vanished instantly into the nothingness.
The voice spoke. "So, do you all want to be like him? Or agree with me?"
Everyone was stunned. They thought they could fight Fate Crystal just as the others.
And defeat him once and for all, but little did they know Fate Crystal wasn't a simple figure.
Even now, only his voice echoed. He didn't even appear at all.
Life Crystal laughed. "Fate! You have wasted your time for the likes of these guys! We could have ended them ourselves."
Death Crystal nodded. "Yeah, friend, I think the same!"
Future Life Crystal took a look at Future Death Crystal.
As both of them gazed at the golden-yellow light, Future Life Crystal spoke. "Fate! We want you to recreate our timeline!"
Future Death Crystal asked. "Yes, Fate, only you can help us now. Nobody else could help us now!"
The voice turned quiet before saying. "I shall agree. I must do so, because your timeline got erased due to my timeline! Lord and Pride Crystal..."
Future Life Crystal laughed in joy. "Death... we can finally return back! Isn't it great news?"
Future Death Crystal replied. "Yeah! We gotta thank Time Crystal for his sacrifice!"
But suddenly...
The voice had a change in tone. "Where is Lucan?"
All of their expressions turned ashen as nobody knew where Lucan was now. Life Crystal spoke. "Fate... he teleported out!"
The voice was startled. "Life! Are you saying he was able to teleport away?"
Death Crystal replied. "But... he isn't from our solar system, right? So you can't control him, isn't he boundless here?"
The voice spoke. "No! Although it may sound logical, it ain't correct. As long as something is within my solar system, it's under my writings."
Everyone gasped at this scene. Even Fate itself was out of ideas against Lucan.
Kaol returned to his normal form and fell down. "Looks like I can't kill all of them in the cosmos... Fate! Lucan!"
Crystal of Betrayal felt desperate. "Eternal freedom... my purpose of living is now being disregarded by Fate!
Is this my end?"
The black figure spat out blood as all the crystals in the organization came from portals.
It saw the entire organization getting destroyed, getting completely erased from existence.
And the crystals regained their freedom and flew to the sky beside Life and Death.
All of the organization members, who were dying, came through the portal and merged with his own body.
He screamed. "IMPOSSIBLE! HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THIS, FATE?"
The voice smirked. "I knew about it already. The organization was created by you, and you split yourself into its members!
But I wanted to bring all the crystals together, hence I used your help! Thank you, mortal!"
He punched the ground. "All my life... my efforts spent collecting them all are now going to benefit somebody else?
Hehe, looks like Fate is truly inevitable! And a fool, me, who thought about capturing it into my collections!"
The space station members all surrendered without even a bit of hesitation.
Freol, however, frowned. "Either way, I will die! Because I can never kill Lucan and King now... What am I now? What am I supposed to do?"
The silent guy finally reacted. He instantly disappeared from the place by himself.
King's gaze hit the golden sky, his brows furrowed. "Hmm... so you were the reason for my race to die? Even if I die! You must not stay alive and well!"
But instantly, King felt his heartbeat stopping as he fell to the ground.
He was dead... Celestia was speechless.
She tried to wake him up. "King... this is just a prank, right? Hehe, it is, I guess! King... wake up!"
But he showed no signs of life as he also vanished into nothingness.
She was about to go berserk, but she saw the ground.
In bright red color, with blood, it was written, "Don't oppose Fate! By King..."
She touched the blood. Her hands felt the warmth; it was indeed King's own blood.
She was left in a daze. She fell right into the blood and smeared it all over her body. She cried and used her cosmic energy.
"KING! DON'T DIE, I CAN REVIVE YOU! WITH MY CRYSTAL POWERS... IF YOU DIE... I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT... I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU DEAD!"
Out of desperation, she tried everything she could. Not even a strand of hair from King's body reappeared.
Only she herself was now painted in dark red blood...
As the events go as per Fate's writings here, in the unknown place of Fate Guy.
Lucan saw himself standing on Fate's domain, surrounding him, all others had been killed already.
Only crystals remained... he was all alone, standing in front of them all.
He saw a bright golden-yellow light in the sky.
He muttered. "Fate Crystal..."
He saw the Golden Butterfly appearing beside him. It brought him into the white room.
There was the same pen and paper. The paper had golden-yellow letters appearing over it...
'LUCAN, DON'T LEAVE THIS PLACE, TILL I CAN WAKE UP! I AM THE GOLDEN BUTTERFLY!'
Then Lucan woke up as he screamed in fear. He saw Fate Guy and Child Guy next to him.
Fate Guy frowned. "You idiot... how dare you? How dare you do this to me!"
Lucan thought. "Oh no... he found out that I used him! I am dead meat now. My cosmic energy is now down to zero.
Golden Butterfly... is in slumber!"
But Fate Guy hugged him. "How dare you abandon me, your friend? All alone, even if you throw me away.
I won't do the same to you! Because Lucan... you have...
SAVED MY LIFE AND GAVE IT A PURPOSE!"
Lucan replied. "But... I thought you wanted to kill me and take revenge!"
Child Guy spoke. "Either way, for the sake of him... I will forgive you! Lucan, now we have the common enemy...
The ones who killed our race! And the same ones who are searching for you..."
Lucan's eyes widened. "Fate Crystal... so my dream right now was about you? The Golden Butterfly warned me through a dream...
Then it mustn't be as simple as my earlier encounters..."
Child Guy snorted. "Kid, you have the potential to beat Fate! I hate to say it, but I must accept it... come with me!"
Lucan asked. "Fate can be defeated by me? Is this real?"
Child Guy frowned. "No, I meant we can flee from Fate and let you both escape the solar system! It's the best we can do."
Lucan pondered. "According to my calculations, that is the most logical way possible! Even I wouldn't want to confront him.
But..."
Fate Guy asked. "But what? Don't tell me you will miss the aliens here! Lucan!"
Child Guy roared. "Foolish kid, they aren't even your friends or kin. They tried to kill you multiple times!"
Lucan sighed. "Fools! I am not that emotional. Tell me, what if we encounter even more powerful enemies when we reach out of this solar system?"
Child Guy "..."
Fate Guy "..."
