The golden butterfly stood motionless, floating in absolute silence! It wasn't hesitating as to whether to side with Lucan or not.
It's hesitating on how to save Lucan now?
The cosmos smirked, "I see... so you're still in blind obsession with him?"
The golden butterfly frowned as its thoughts appeared on paper:
'WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO LUCAN.'
It smirked, "You see... I'm neither a hero... nor a villain! Hehe, I don't care if he's evil or good.
All I seek is entertainment; he's my source for that, hahaha! Look at that human, his insanity and intelligence are fascinating...
DON'T WORRY, I HAVE NERFED HIM A LOT OF TIMES. IF HE MANAGES TO REGAIN HIMSELF ON HIS OWN,
HEHE, HE'S FREE!"
The golden butterfly sighed in relief and fell down.
The cosmos caught her and smiled gently, "Lucan... you're free to go! Hehe, but golden butterfly! It's time to test your love."
The cosmos suddenly saw something strange in his endless eyes.
He saw a change in the lord's condition.
He immediately shifted his attention towards the lord.
The lord was helping aliens in need with a warm smile.
He led the space station and saved the good from the evil! He was too humble; he was no longer the same old lord.
The cosmos sighed, "Too boring... so you weren't true to yourself like Lucan? Where's that pride of yours?"
The lord laughed, "Don't worry, nobody deserves to suffer! All of us are equal, we all live and die only for a short period of time.
So... be happy! And smile always without looking down on anyone."
The cosmos smirked, "But it's interesting too... unlike Lucan, this guy isn't smart... he is—"
Suddenly, lots of aliens flew around the lord and the aliens he had saved.
The space station members were teleported away; in front of the lord stood lots of criminals on the run.
All of them were powering up to kill the aliens behind the lord.
The lord frowned, "Why? What did these two do to you?"
One of them laughed mockingly, "Lord? Hehe, gang! Looks like we hit the jackpot! Let's kill him too.
He's such a nuisance!"
The lord grinned, "I hate hurting others... huh? But looks like there's no other choice!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared within his shadow and slashed the aliens hiding behind him,
and instantly disappeared! The lord stood in a daze, with his mouth wide open!
All of them were in disguise, hiding their true faces.
One of them stepped ahead and caught the lord by his neck: "Lord... you have great potential! Join us... what do you say?"
The lord smirked, "You think a person like me would be evil?"
They all laughed mockingly, "Haha, right? These stupid good guys... too naive!"
The lord laughed heartily as he pierced through the person holding his neck.
He said, "I'm not good! I'm not bad, I'm lord! Hahaha."
The cosmos rubbed his eyes, "What the heck is happening? How the heck did he...
I thought he only had strength!"
The lord had wiped out all of them and was standing on a river of blood.
He laughed like a maniac, "How great this feels! The feeling of dominance, hehe. I am damn sure someone is watching me from the shadows.
And I must keep that fake act of kindness... till I kill him! Then... hahaha, I can rule everything and everyone!
Yes, I'm invincible!"
The cosmos laughed, "Lord! Lord! He is still having pride... but this time, it's far weaker than his usual one.
If it were the real lord, he would say, 'Ew! I won't kill you; you're too weak and it would be a disgrace to my pride.'
Rule everything? Worthless, if they are weaker than me! Why must I rule them? It's too patched, hahaha."
The cosmos shifted his attention to the others.
Nobody else had made any progress alike these two maniacs,
except for the fate crystal.
He was in his place, slightly tilting his head.
"So, Cosmos... hehe, you have finally decided to watch me."
The cosmos smirked, "Marvellous! He escaped my reset too?"
It brought the fate crystal into its cosmic domain.
The fate crystal spoke, "Cosmos! Hehe, you were probably watching Lucan and the lord right?"
It grinned, "Was? No, it is you I am watching! With my endless eyes, I can watch anything at any point of time of my own choice...
So—"
The fate crystal interrupted, "You are going to reset me once again, right?"
The cosmos grinned, "Wise fellow, yep! Few of you used a loophole to escape the reset, hahaha! Or that's what you're thinking."
The fate crystal gulped down saliva, "WHAT... WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE THINKING?"
The cosmos replied, "I could've reset you all, but it would be too boring! Then there would be nobody to actually remember the reality.
Hehe, your solar system is one of the countless possibilities I am watching! Hehe, in fact, even now when I am talking,
I'm watching Lucan, the lord, and all others at the same time.
Even in parallel dimensions!"
The fate crystal gasped, "Wait... Cosmos!"
It said, "Huh? Why are you so scared right now? Where is that courage of yours? Ah man, damn! Please don't get boring."
The fate crystal was out of words, "Just what do you want? Mere entertainment!?"
The cosmos was silent for a while before answering, "Yes, don't worry! I don't hold grudges or hate anybody.
Hehe, as long as you are fun! I will respect all of you equally! I wouldn't side with good or evil, I'm just a viewer of this show!
All of your actions aren't controlled by me; it's in your own hands! This cosmic T show—"
The fate crystal asked, "T show?"
The cosmos frowned, "Damn... sorry, it's a TV show! Hehe, humans have created them for entertainment!
I saw them all in a single instant! All of them were amusing,
but they got over faster than the infinite! But this show would run forever with no end,
which means I will never finish it! Hahaha, an endless source of entertainment!"
The fate crystal asked, "Can I actually say something? If that's your purpose of existence, you're just way too cocky and spoiled.
Do you even realise how much pain and suffering all of us undergo—insanity!
We all face an endless amount of sorrows, grief, setbacks, and failures! Many more!
You just enjoy the chaos like it's literally nothing at all, idiot! Bloody moron! You—"
When he realised who he was talking to, his voice dropped dead
to absolute silence!
But the cosmos spoke, his voice heavenly and majestic.
Just then, the fate crystal realised the change in his surroundings.
All this time, he was too focused on his words, forgetting reality itself!
He was surrounded by space, with countless stars, planets, and celestial objects moving around.
He was in a heavenly delusion; his mind wobbled as if he were unstable!
He closed his eyes, feeling this remarkable feeling while smiling gently.
"I may get killed for my words, at least I'm dying with no regrets about my actions. I did what I wanted to..."
His mind was calm and tranquil!
In that peace, he had a vision, recalling something: "That human kid!
He once said, be true to yourself! Do whatever your inner self wants you to do.
And if you ever die... with no regrets! There's no better feeling in this world."
He smiled warmly, "What a person... he is literally something else! I can never put him into words,
because there are no words to describe him!"
Meanwhile, the cosmos spoke, "You may be right? Like, if I live their life, then only I can understand what suffering is..."
The fate crystal had a stunned expression on his face, "What... is this even possible?"
The cosmos suddenly shifted his gaze and turned back with a wide grin.
"Hahaha! You thought I would say though, right?
I am actually going to kill you! Prepare to die, Fate; you had offended me too much."
The fate crystal sighed gladly, "Just as I expected, how could I expect him to be so generic?"
The cosmos powered up, clustering cosmic energy to kill Fate in one single blow.
He said, "I'm making it as painful as possible! Don't worry, hehe..."
He fired it at the fate crystal. Fate was strangely smiling with no sense of fear.
But at the last instant, the power instantly vanished!
