(Lian Li POV)
There was just one final Universe left. One final Universe to return Master back to His perfect and real self.
Brendan told us Master was handling that stalker bitch somehow and true enough, she did slow down significantly when I saw her the last few times. In fact, there were several times where I just found her standing around and staring off into space instead of doing anything.
Even when I went up to her, she showed no signs of even realising I was there and continued staring off into space.
Sometimes she would be moving around but her reactions and actions were very weird, like as though she was drunk or just completely out of it.
Whatever Master was doing to her was definitely working so we could not let this chance go to waste. The only issue we had was knowing Master had resorted to being intimate with her to get this effect so it frustrated us quite a bit.
Now it was down to the final Universe and we could not mess this one up.
One problem arose when Elaria's machine had suddenly stopped displaying the percentages after both sides reached forty eight percent, so we did not know what the current percentages for both sides looked like and whether we were in the lead.
Incidentally, I was the one who had drawn the jump conditions for it so Master's fate literally lies in my hands.
Like what I had always done, I immediately tried to look for Master's location the moment I appeared there and I found Master right away somewhere remote. But when I was just about to head towards Him, He disappeared?
Fighting down the sense of panic, I quickly checked the Universe to make sure that the bitch didn't get to Him.
Sure enough, the Universe wasn't being Ended so that just meant that Master just travelled to somewhere else outside of this World. The only question was where and why?
I teleported myself to the location where Master had last been and I found myself in some sort of temple with unknown statues of various figures around the room. There was an odd sense of mystical energy in the air though I'm not quite sure what it was.
Tracing Master's presence, I managed to find the location of where He had teleported to and followed after Him.
The first thing I noticed was that I seem to have appeared over what looks like the middle of two armies facing off against each other on a rather desolated piece of land.
No, it wasn't a wasteland but a place that was recently torn up by some kind of attack that involved explosions of some sort.
I also noted that on one side were primarily humans making up the army but all of them were dressed in weird clothes and even had weird flying ships above them. And is that a giant? They have a giant.
On the other side there were many different kinds of monstrous creatures including some humanoid looking ones but they had a much bigger ship hovering above them on their side.
They even had some purple guy with an abnormally large chin on their side too.
Both sides' attention was drawn to my sudden appearance and seemed to be wondering whose side I was on.
Obviously I wasn't interested in any of that since I was there for one reason and one reason only.
"Master?!!" I called out, only to realise that Master wouldn't answer me here since I was most likely not known to Him.
I tried to search for Him in the crowd but before I could, a giant piece of debris was launched towards me, forcing me to duck down to avoid it.
I scowled at the side with the purple giant, knowing that the attack came from that thin looking thing beside it.
How dare he? Was he also something sent by that stupid bitch to hinder me?! I'll show her!!
I reached out my hand and teleported that thin looking thing over to me so that I was grabbing it by the neck.
Its thin hands instinctively reached up to grab my arm while making choking sounds, its eyes widening when it met mine.
It let out a wail as I let Divine Lightning course through my arm to electrocute it, reducing it to ashes in an instant.
There! That will teach you!!
"ASSEMBLE!!!!" Someone shouted from the humans' side.
There was a roar and everyone charged, prompting the purple thing's side to charge to meet them as well.
Damn it! I haven't even found Master yet!! Don't mess this up for me! I don't have time for this!!
I extended my domain to encompass the entire area to look for Master desperately, hoping I could catch Him before that bitch showed up to snatch Master away.
Concentrating for a bit, I finally managed to find Master running on the side of the humans.
I suppose it should be natural that Master would go with the side that was less of an annoyance.
Now, if these two sides were to clash, it would be quite annoying so let's just alter everyone's concept of being able to move and… There!
Everyone who had been charging forward suddenly fell down onto the ground except for Master who continued running for a few more steps before realising what had happened.
Perfect! Now all I have to do is to send the memories over and then it will all be finished!
"Ara? Not so fast…"
A hand clamped on my shoulder and I found myself unable to move.
A figure stepped out from my peripheral vision and who else but the stalker bitch herself appeared in front of me.
"Forgive me but I cannot allow you to do that. Master will still be mine and mine alooooooooonnnngghhhh!"
…
Eh? What was that sudden weird sound at the end? Is she mocking me or something?
Oh… She's having an orgasm…
Fucking bitch. She really is mocking me huh? Why do you sound so satisfied? You think Master never made me cum before?! I'll have you know that I've came plenty of times while making love to Mas--
Ahem… Nevermind that! While she's distracted, I concentrated on Master and tried to send the memories over.
Master turned and looked at me in surprise as the memories were projected right into His head, His eyes slowly clouding over.
Yes! That's it! I did it! The memories are being sent directly over! The memories of Master being His… Emotionless self… Eh? Wait?!
"Ufu… Ufufu… Ha… Haha… There we go… Master is now… Perfect~" That bitch gasped, her entire body shaking violently.
No… No no no!!! Did she End my own attempt of giving Master His memories and replaced them with her own?!
Master! Please tell me that isn't true!!
I watched as Master's eyes regained their focus.
He blinked and for a moment, I thought that Master would call out to me with how His mouth opened, but the only word that came out sent a chill down my spine.
"Insignificant…"
With a casal turn of His head, everything within His line of sight started to break apart and disappear into nothingness. Even the people that were currently collapsed on the ground were disappearing without a trace where not even dust remained.
No… No… This can't be happening… Did the bitch really--
"Ara… Ara? Did I… Did I actually do it?"
I turned to the side to see the stalker bitch watching Master with a look of surprise on her face.
Why are you even acting so surprised for?! Isn't this what you wanted, you bitch?!!
