After multiple hours inside the white room, their talk came to an end, Lucan stood up as he said "Well dad, now its time...I have to-".
He was interrupted by his dad "Yes, I know, I know, I won't stop you! Goodbye for now!".
He forcibly held his feelings, as he didn't want to obstruct him, he was already facing multiple problems.
So he decided not to burden him further fir his own selfishness.
His face had satisfied gaze, with lips curled up, Lucan nodded his head "Don't worry, whenever you feel like missing me, the golden butterfly will help us!".
His dad replied "But, make sure you take good care of the golden butterfly! From what you have said, in your entire journey.
Oy this butterfly was loyal and caring towards you! Hehe!
And a pity, if it was an alive girl, that moments would make your mom go crazy!".
Lucan blushed as he snorted "Ah! Please stop this, I can't bear this feeling".
His dad patted him as he laughed "Haha! Just did to see your reaction! Please often turn your face red, it will be fun to watch!".
Lucan replied "Fun!!! Yeah probably for you, but not for me, hmph!".
Suddenly the atmosphere turned silent as both of them started at each other.
Lucan grinned as he waved his hands, saying farewell, his dad was smiling but tears rolled down his eyes.
They were not if grief, but of happiness.
He shouted "Alright! But the promise, don't forget it, no matter what happens, you must reach your goal and find it!".
Lucan replied "Haha! I won't forget it, I will definitely find the it, find the truth beyond everything!".
Both of them left the white room as the golden butterfly flew up, it was already night time.
It stopped a moment to take a look at Lucan's dad, he was still smiling with deep satisfaction.
Seeing him at this state, was only when it decided to leave earth! It thought "Is my gift really worth much for him? I feel like...It ain't enough".
It flew faster towards Lucan, with these questions.
The eternal abyss of life and death, here it was day time, the sun lit up the entire place, but it was still the same null void.
Being completely empty.
Lucan grinned "Hehe! Golden Butterfly...my journey would have been better, if everyone I have met, were alike you! But now I feel lonely...".
He suddenly felt a change as his throat went dry, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
He felt his lifespan decreased far higher than ever, even according to his calculations, the amount of time.
He stays in the same place, his lifespan will decrease.
But it has only been a few hours, but he had lost months of lifespan.
He went into deep thought as he started walking, after he walked away a bit far from the place.
He noticed, his lifespan, it started to increase.
He then remembered the words of org 1000 "Life crystal and Death crystal!".
He realized that, all this time, he was in the range if death crystal, which was why his lifespan was getting decreased.
After this realisation hit him, he flew away towards his spaceship, this place was far away from death crystal's range.
After he had left, a hoarse voice spoke "Hmm! What an interesting creature? It knows about me and this place! Haha! This is going to be interesting...".
When he had reached near his spaceship, he found fate guy, who was still under the org 1000.
He spoke "Lucan! What happened? Why do you look tired and exhausted?...".
Lucan replied "Sigh! Can you shut that mouth of yours? You do everything except for what should be done! Did that universal being give you any message?".
Org 1000 shook his head "No, it seems like, it will take a longer time!".
Lucan asked "And! Can Life crystal or Death crystal be refined and used for something? Just curious!".
Org 1000 gulped down saliva as he spoke "Only your curiousness right?...You haven't come in contact with any of them right?".
Lucan grinned "Hehe! Rest assured, I am just asking to know more about the crystals!".
Inside he thought "Hmm! From his actions, it definitely means something bad is going to happen.
But I haven't come in direct contact with death crystal though! So this situation can go in either way...
AMAZING! I CAN GAIN MUCH KNOWLEDGE AT ANY OF THE CASE!".
Org 1000 spoke "Unlike other crystals, you can't refine them or use them! And mostly, these two crystals will never even mind you.
Unless! Fate crystal had written so, but death crystal loves seeing people die.
And life crystal-".
Lucan interrupted "It likes seeing people live? Hmm! This is just boring".
Org 1000 smirked in an evil tone "Life crystal loves to see you...
Dying cruelly with sufferings and pain!
Now you get it, Lucan, how dangerous are these two crystals? Haha! You must be trembling with fear right now?".
As his gaze shifted pass Lucan, Lucan's eye widened and jaw dropped.
He said "Awesome! This is interesting, noting it down too.
Tell me more, more, org 1000.
I want to gain more knowledge! More insights! More wisdom!
Because they would help me reaching my goal!".
Org 1000 snorted "You...are definitely insane, kid.
Goal, goal, goal.
What the heck is even your goal? What can it be?
Eternal life? Wealth? Love? Power? Revenge?...".
Lucan grinned "None of them, mine is not an normal goal, you can think of.
Even If I give you the clues, you will never find it, because it is something with worth.
Not eternal life! It is just living forever, due to the fear of death.
Not wealth! They are merely a form of resources, in bulk quantity just to show off.
Not love! It is an illusion which traps you and rips you off your freedom.
Not power! It is just having strength to dominate everything, what use is there, except for pride.
And revenge! Hehe! It is just an illogical emotional reaction, which you do to satisfy your heart.
My true goal is, finding the end of space and going beyond it!
It is finding the truth beyond everything! What lies beyond galaxies, universes, multiverses...
What is the truth, which had created all of us.
Some call it, God! Some call it, Science!
But none if them have truly seen it, those are just assumptions made due to lack of knowledge.
Once I find it...Hahaha!".
Org 1000 was stunned as he stared at Lucan blinking continuously, he asked "But what if...there is no end?
Your whole journey will be incomplete, your whole life will be worthless".
Lucan laughed "Notice one thing?
You said 'WHAT IF!', It is also just an assumption.
Okay, now let me ask, what if there was an end? What if my journey turns complete? What if my whole life was worth it?
Answer me!".
Org 1000 was speechless, such ambitions, he felt ashamed to even speak anymore.
Just a 17 year old kid has such thoughts, but him, and most if the others.
They just live for the sake of living.
Org 1000 laughed "Alright, kid, you are not bad for you age, let me join your crew!".
Lucan grinned "Not possible! Show your worth? What use can you be of me to join me".
Org 1000 nodded "Good! As expected from someone like you, I will prove you my worth! But how should I prove it?
In terms of strength? smartness? Or what? Tell me!".
Lucan pointed at him as he said "Ask yourself and tell me, What is your true goal, like mine? In the depths of your inner heart.
It will be carved permenantly! If you have one, you can join me! Hehe!".
Org 1000 thought "That's right? I have always lived under that universal being! And called him my master.
But is that what? I had truly wanted it, what is my true goal? What do I want to achieve in my life?
Answer me! My own self!".
Time continued to pass, hours flew by, even the universal being contacted him, but he ignored it.
As he was just secondary, when compared to himself.
He remembered his past, but he instantly avoided it.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and grinned.
He said "Lucan! I have got my answer, hahaha!".
Lucan replied "Sigh! Grinning is my style, so your goal is to imitate me? Too bad!".
