At the Summit of the Last World
In front of the Council of 12 Rulers of the Universe
And in front of the King of the 12 Rulers, Intergalactic King, Alulim.
…
I was standing there. In front of him, the so-called strongest being in the entire universe. We were here in hope of finding so help from soone who can help us out against the Parasites and also stop the unnecessary war against 'them'
But as both Lucas and I had expected…
"You want to give you a portion of my army to help you stop a war among the insects as yourself?" spoke Alulim as he looked at us with a stare, as if he were looking at insects in front of him.
"My lord, I know that we don't even deserve this audience, but if you don't help us out, then our entire planet will be wiped out by the Parasites. It would be only a matter of ti before the Parasites aim next at your majesty. Wouldn't it be better to remove the problem from the root before it becos a tall tree that one can only look at?" Lucy spoke as she observed Alulim with a determined gaze.
"Insects," spoke one of the 12 Kings under King Alulim, as he observed Lucy with a glare,"do you think just because species as low as you can't handle them, we can't either? Do you consider yourself equal to us Gods? Or do you… consider us as re insects?!!!"
Even though there was a threat in his words, he still didn't make any move and simply observed, waiting for Alulim to speak.
"I see what your ego has done to you," spoke Alulim as he closed his eyes,"hmmm…. I can see… why do you suffer from such a downfall… When the whole planet should have been united, you were fighting among each other? One kills to please the Parasite King, while the others try to use the situation to their advancent.
Hmmm… they killed their best warriors because of insignificant fear, because of such small greed. I see… so many lives you could have saved yourself, yet your futile ego let it all go into oblivion.
In the end, there was nothing but despair left in your destiny… So tell young human, Lucy Laurentz, why exactly should we save such a race… such a planet that brought upon its own downfall?
Lucy bit her lips and her eyes shook as she observed Alulim as he threw the dark side of Planet Vermillion in our faces. This made smile a little, and it made Lucas chuckle a little.
"Hmmm… what are you smiling at, young humans?" asked Alulim with keen interest.
While I thought that how the very own nature of humanity and other races, on Planet Vermillion was going to close another hopeful door, Lucas on the other hand spoke,
"Isn't that all the sa everywhere?"
This made Alulim look at Lucas with a wide-eyed expression before he asked,"how co soone as insignificant as you are so sure of that?"
"Well… since the conversation is over, I think we will be leaving from here. Let's go Lucy, Reaper… no point in wasting our ti here," he said ignoring Alulim and I, not caring much about it also moved away from there along with Lucy who still seed to be hoping for a good outco.
"I order you to wait or else I will personally annihilate your entire planet," spoke the Intergalactic King with a fierce tone as he stood up from his throne and all three of us turned to face him.
Lucy made a hopeless expression as she observed Lucas, while I made a serious expression as I glared at Alulim.
As for Lucas,
"Why don't you try to see the future outco of such an action? I heard that you can see bits of the future as well."
He was both glaring and smiling at Alulim at the sa ti. His hand was at his sword, Excalibur, while my Deaths of Duality were already out in my hands.
Hearing Lucas' words, Alulim first narrowed his eyes at him before his eyes turned bluish green for a few seconds.
And then…
-Thud!
He fell on his throne as he observed Lucas as if he had seen his worst nightmare.
"You are… his successor?!!!" his eyes were mostly shaken as he observed Lucas before he turned at too as he muttered,"such great power… such potential… "
His eyes drifted to Lucy as well as he spoke,"if only… if only… " then he turned quiet for a few monts as the whole area fell silent.
I don't know what he saw… but his viewpoint about all three of us took a 180 degree when he saw our futures. I wonder what he saw…
"You… all are destined to be dood… unless the past itself is changed… unless the fates themselves decide to change your destiny… there is nothing you can do… As for us… We shall stay away from you or else we too might be engulfed in this armageddon you have started.
Leave from here and never return… and never show your faces here again… from today, by the order of the fates, you are barred from entering this place," King Alulim spoke as a heavy blow of air ca hitting us and throwing us out from his mansion and before we could realise it…
We were back on our planet, Planet Vermillion.
"What was that all about?" I asked a bit confused as I turned to Lucas and he too was confused at what king Alulim spoke as the lines on his forehead tightened and he spoke,
"I don't know… what did he an by that our fate is dood? I was expecting him to get surprised after looking at our future, especially after fighting my sacrificial move… but even though he was surprised, he was scared too… but not of us…"
Lucas spoke as the seriousness in his eyes reached a new height and I spoke with a slight contemplating yet focused gaze,
"He was afraid of us all right… but I believe it wasn't our power, but sothing else? Is that what you are trying to say?"
Lucas turned at and nodded before speaking,"that… and probably sothing else, too."
"You guys are too hot headed!!!… Well, for now, let's head back to our headquarters. Worrying about what is going to happen in the future is not going to solve anything. We should first deal with the issue at hand," Lucy spoke, trying to calm the situation. Lucas and I can see the tension in her eyes as well, but we ignored it as we nodded before moving towards the headquarters.
