While talking to him, I attempted to use Appraisal on him several times, but it yielded absolutely no results whatsoever. The only thing I constantly got was pain in my soul each time I tried to read through his powers or status. It was as if he had something constantly blocking me from seeing through his entire façade. Whoever this guy was, he was surely bad news. However, he didn't seemed to be an ally of the Genie, but an external force that came from a completely different world altogether searching for his fragments.
He has no relation with this world, nor anything happening here. And he'll surely not even try to help us do anything either. He just came to retrieve what its his property… apparently. Though because I cannot read through him, I cannot know if he's lying or not. And his menacing aura and threatening presence is telling me he'll happily slaughter me if I don't give him the stone.
"Who are you? Are you an invader from another world?" Luminous asked, getting into the conversation.
"I don't have any intentions of invading anything… Give me the Cosmic Stone." He said.
"And if I say no?" I asked.
"Then I'll force my way." He said.
"And if I say yes?" I asked.
"The I'll leave and not bother you." He said.
"Well, we are in dire need for some backup, you know? How about you help us out?" I asked.
"I am already incredibly busy as I am…" He sighed. "The cost of trespassing the Outer Walls of the Universe and then the Dimension were severe. I have barely managed to not be weakened enough, but this entire other Dimension has laws that contradict the ones I am ruled over. Adapting takes time… I must leave quickly… Please, give me the stone. I have a family."
"How interesting, I also have a family." I said while nodding. "What will you do if I do this instead?"
I quickly grabbed the Cosmic Stone out of the Item Box, as he suddenly gritted his teeth, looking at the blue piece of crystal with eyes filled with greed.
"That belongs to me! Give it back!" He said furiously.
"How about no?"
I quickly ate the Cosmic Stone, swallowing it.
Gulp.
"Phew, that was tasty… Now what?"
I looked at the boy's eyes, as his face quickly calmed down.
"Scorched Earth."
His chest suddenly lighted up and in an instant, an enormous beam of cosmic light reached us.
FLAAAASSSHHH!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
The beam devastated the entire cave where we were staying, destroying everything, and making it all fall apart. However, we quickly appeared outside the cave, floating in midair. I had used Spatial Blink to not only bring myself but everyone else with me.
"You're pretty nasty, aren't you? I can still just take the stone out, but I swallowed it just for insurance." I said to him. "Tell me your name now. I think I might use your help."
"Use my help? I don't work for anybody." The young man said, suddenly, black dragon-like wings grew from his back, as he flew out into the skies at an incredible speed, he pointed his claws at us, as darkness and light emerged from both hands, converging with his cosmic powers.
"[Cosmic Destruction]"
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
Suddenly, the layers of space distorted by his power, shattering like pieces of glasses as he generated an enormous pressure into space itself. The fabric of space started being torn apart rapidly, as everyone except me stepped back in fear.
BOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Another enormous explosion happened, this one even stronger and bigger than the last one. Encompassing all the skies atop the mountains. The enormous shockwave of Cosmic Energy bathed my entire body as I stepped forward while leaving everyone else behind me.
FRRSSSSHHH!
Suddenly, I felt the Cosmic Radiation burning my entire flesh and everything else. It was as if I was melting and disappearing… but what do you know, this is the BEST way to comprehend cosmic energy and gain cosmic resistance, so I'll take it.
He looked at me one last time as the explosion dissipated. My scorched body was almost completely dead, his eyes narrowed down in anger.
"You're still alive? You're as resilient as I heard…"
"Oh yeah? And who spoke to you about me? Erm, Veronica and Ervas?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he stepped back.
"So you know them too… They spoke me about you, they said many things but… I don't know, they said you died as well. Are you truly Kireina?"
"And you're…?" I asked the guy that scorched me alive over a stone.
"Name's Frank…" He said with a poker face. "I am not really fond of you. You're a being of pure chaos, and I've heard you brought the Apocalypse to the Universe… You're the cause of the dead of so many people… When I heard what they said about you, I didn't knew what to think myself. Deep down, I kind of wanted to get rid of you. You're a menace."
"Ohoo… Do you happen to have a stick up your ass or something?" I asked while sighing. "Why are you so righteous? Are you a goody-two-shoes?"
"I only have morals… This humanity is the only thing I have left behind. Without it, I am… not even a human anymore. I fight to protect my world and those I love, and all those innocent lives. A being like you is my complete opposite." He said. "I didn't wanted to engage in a fight to begin with, you forced my hand."
"You're clearly biased though. I kind of want to give you a nice spanking in the ass." I said with a smile, as I had shapeshifted to my Fairy Form, I didn't resembled a little girl anymore, more like a teenager in her 14's rather than a girl in her 9's like before.
"GAH?!"
Suddenly, he completely changed his expression, as he got slightly redder.
"Huh? What's wrong?" I asked.
"G-Get yourself some clothes! Degenerate!" He cried.
Wait, is this guy serious?
