Life crystal saw something.... it couldn't even believe it's own eyes.
"T...T...Time essence? Fate crystal predicted this scenario and prepared time essence!".
A blue light flashed over the entire abyss, completely stunning the dead, everybody turned motionless.
A dazzling blue light flickered as a small figure flew towards life crystal, it smirked as it poured a drop over life crystal.
Then it entered the depth of abyss, splitting the entire abyss into half, and during all this time, nothing moved.
The entire solar system was completely frozen.
Rocks were crumbled underground, the blue light saw a few dead figures "Fate! Hehe, looks like my mission is now over!".
It saw death crystal, lord, kaol noah, fate guy and a few others.
It flickered it's blue lights as they shone as bright as stars in the dark sky.
The time essence dripped from it's body, falling over all the 4 of them, the blue light spoke "Alright, I have revived all the pawns! Hehe! Time for me to leave".
It instantly zapped through the space, cutting through the vaucum like it was paper, the entire surroundings stretched and bended.
In an instant, the blue light completely vanished away, there was no trace of it's existence, as if it had never been there.
Life crystal regained it's full vitality as it felt it's supreme peak again, it's sharp gaze shifted pass the dead.
Now all of them started to shrivel in fear.
"Life crystal! Please forgive me! I just was drunk!"
"LIFE CRYSTAL! I WAS TOO NAIVE! PLEASE DON'T TORTURE ME-"
"Hush! Imbecile pests! You think I am a fool? Hahaha! Nobody's escaping from me right now!".
His tone shifted to a serious expression "Time to show you all my true side".
It's white light flashed for a single instant as it sensed death crystal, the ground trembled as a black crystal flew up.
It was death crystal!
Death crystal, Lord, Kaol Noah and Fate guy were fully revived, but each got teleported to the previous location where they were dead.
It saw life crystal to its left, and the dead to its right.
The dead begged "Death! Please save us, you hate killing right? Please destroy this ugly life crystal and fat-".
Death crystal killed the dead, who was already dead.
It sighed "I may hate kiling! But if it's for theses two, I would even make it my hobby!".
Life crystal laughed mockingly "So...you killed the dead? Amazing! Yet I couldn't revive any alive creature".
Death crystal replied "Killed? No, that's impossible! Killing a dead is not possible, I just erased him from existence!
Remember life? Our true powers? And the nicknames we got from the past!"
Life crystal replied "Hehe! How could I? Our true powers are...creation and destruction! Our nicknames are...".
Suddenly both of them felt a strange sharp pain at the core, as they both crashed down the ground.
After they rose up, they forgot about the incident of the strange blue light.
Not just them! Everyone who had seen it, had literally got thst portion of their memories itself altered.
On the planet, where lord and king had fought.
Lord opened his eyes as he smirked, he immediately took out a small purple colored core.
He had a few drops of tine essence! He poured one over the core as pride crystal, I mean lord crystal was revived.
It saw the blue drops on lord's hands, as it gasped "T...time essence? Lord! So, we had succeeded!".
Lord laughed loudly "I killed myself to steal this time essence! As soon as I hear about time essence, I had wanted to make it my own.
But you had rejected my plan! Saying the chances are too low, but I, Lord succeded! What it means? Even chances has to ask me before deciding!
Hahaha!".
Lord crystal was astonished "Lord...you didn't satisfy my expectations! You exceeded them! Lord! Hahaha".
Lord gave another drop to lord crystal "That's your share! Take it as my gift! You had wanted it anywayys right?
Oh! And your name, Just be called as pride crystal!".
Pride crystal was confused "Time essence! Nice, and why are yiu vhanging my name again?".
Lord laughed "Because even you are below me, so if you had my name, it would be a disgrace to me! Myself".
Pride crystal felt powers surging through it, it sighed "If only you had always been this prideful! I would have reached at par with fate crystal already".
Lord replied "That's my plan! ButI am not doing this for you, it's for me, I had lost a few times, and was prideless for a few part of my life.
Hence! Guess what I am going to do?".
Pride crystal thought about lord as it asked "Don't tell me...you are literally going to-".
Lord grinned "Exactly! I am changing the timeline to erase my pride less life! Only pride is my life! Hahaha, all my disgraces will be now gone!".
Pride crystal thought "Fate crystal wouldn't allow this to happen? Even time crystal won't be this careless?
Then...lord had truly surpassed everything...with only pride! Amazing! Life crystal, I owe you everything for creating this guy!
Lord! You are truly the one above all! No even beyond it! Hahaha, this taste! The tase of pride.
I love it, hehe! Fate! Even you had lost to lord's pride? Then he literally the supreme being!".
Lord grabbed pride crystal as he laughed "Hehe, good, that's how you must boast me! This feeling...of being the greatest, ah! I cannot describe it!
Hahaha!".
Lord and pride crystal felt their lives reaching the peakest form.
Meanwhile, king hadn't noticed lord and pride crystal's reappearance.
As in reality, he was trapped inside countless illusions, the ones which were used to trap lord and Lucan.
King hadn't realized it, because lord's version was multiple times better, sorry it is immeasurable!
Lord laughed at the trapped king, pride crystal asked "Why are you trapping him? Pride?".
Lord chuckled "No! While I had met him inside, I came to know that space station has many powerful beings as him!
I will face them all together, If I let him out, he will get killed, and only be trapping him, I can save his life to end it in future by myself".
Lord flew away, pride crystal saw lord with a trace of hope and admiration.
It recalled it's past, where only crystals were vaguely visible.
Each crystal chose a certain aspect, which were given by fate crystal, everybody chose something powerful.
It narrated "When it was my turn! I chose pride, after a moment of silence, laughters flooded me.
And I was mocked by the other crystals! Even fate crystal was expressionless, it asked, am I sure in this decision as it is irreversible!
I agreed, and I waited years, centuries, millenniums! All those time, not even a single prideful person was found by me.
But I was firm in my decision! Pride! The greatest virtue ever, I was damn sure that the day will come, when I meet that person.
Now! Lord! You have fulfilled it, my whole life had gained its purpose, even if I die now! I have no regrets.
Because lord...I know that, the pride, the greatest virtue would never fade away from this world...
AS LONG AS YOU LIVE!".
Pride crystal felt overwhelmed, it flew beside Lord.
As it asked "Lord! You are a true person, just as me! Hehe!".
Lord was confused "Ah! What the heck do you mean by that? I am not at your stinky level, I am beyond comparison".
Pride crystal laughed "Yes indeed! Haha".
Lord was annoyed "I think you have hit your head somewhere? You have become dumb! Sigh".
Pride crystal asked "You feel pity fo me? Wait...is it true?".
Lord smacked pride crystal "Of course yes!
Because...if you aren't there, how can I measure my pride? You are my calculator of pride! Hahaha!".
