After Reed left, Yunyu finally got up from the bed and stretched his body, "Dang, Reed has a bear hug, just like Clarke."

Sensing that Reed was far from here, Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu, "He seems distraught when he stormed off just now. Are you sure everything will be okay?"

"Huh? Of course~" Yunyu giggled. He walked towards the balcony and slid the glass door. While facing the sunrise, he stood on the balcony, "Ah, the sunrise is so beautiful today."

"You're way too lax for what's about to come. Don't you see the severity? Clarke will definitely thrash Reed Ville's office building, and probably everywhere until Reed decided to show up," Pupa warned. It wondered why Yunyu was so lax and joyous. "And don't you see how crazy Reed can be? He might do something absolutely maleficent to citizens."

"Pupa, how come you become so chatty these days ah? I miss my old sarcastic Pupa~" Yunyu joked around as he hugged floating Pupa.

"That's because this world is your 14th world! You're near the end, and you still treat everything like a game! Grow up a bit, Bai Yunyu!" Pupa lectured Yunyu about how worried it was.

14th world and nothing changed much in Yunyu except him master the ability to manipulate someone's feeling without an ounce of regret.

Yunyu smiled bitterly. He also didn't know what made him so relaxed. Maybe it was the daring and nonchalant nature that developed over time, knowing that nothing in this world mattered as long as he could get that 100% Breakmeter.

"I don't know, Pupa. I have not much attachment to this world… but at the same time, I do have a grievance in my heart right now because we will leave this world soon."

"What grievance?"

"That monster… Monster Matthew…" Yunyu mentioned the name he thought he'd forget about him after he left world 13. But he kept remembering the promise he gave to him before.

That he'd sacrifice a world for him.

Yet, this was world 14, and there was no sign of Monster Matthew at all.

"Has he finally given up on me and decided not to chase me anymore?"

"Perhaps," Pupa replied.

"But we are not done yet with our problem…." Yunyu sighed, full of pity. "I really want to meet him for the last time. Tell him that I'm sorry for calling him a monster."

"And I want to say sorry for continuously giving him false hope that only breaks him…."

"… I thought you're completely heartless about him," Pupa said. "It's just… I have this feeling of debt for him. I should've cleared that debt first before I completed my journey, don't you think?"

Pupa always wondered what was in Yunyu's mind. Because his way of thinking was different than regular people's. He could be an absolute menace, but he could also be the kindest person imaginable.

He could be petty, evil, and annoying, but he could also love someone so purely, just like what he did with Han Ye of his world.

But Pupa couldn't do much. Its mission was to guide Yunyu in his journey. That was it.

"I hope I can meet him again, just once… so I will tell everything in my heart to him."

Clarke had a terrible headache after he called Reed just now. Maybe because he finally realized the enemy he was looking for was his own blood brother.

It was the sense of betrayal that hurt him so much. But nothing hurt more than the fact that his wife and children were with Reed. They were so close, yet so far for Clarke.

He slumped on the floor, clenching the phone as he continued calling Gaius' phone to no avail.

"Wife… please pick up… I want to apologize. I want to beg for you to return…." Clarke whispered on the phone. Although all he could hear was a long beep.

"Please don't call me a monster. I am… I am not a monster… I try not to be a monster for you, Wife."

"Please, I'm begging you…."

Clarke closed his eyes with tears still streaming down, wetting the floor. He was so tired, he wanted to meet his family again. He was Superbman. He knew no fatigue or hunger. But when he remembered about his wife again, his body weakened, thinking that it'd be great if he could hug him right now, to put down his restlessness.

Thus, he slowly fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Clarke opened his eyes and realized that he was in an empty space, or what people call void. He couldn't see anything or anyone. Only emptiness surrounded him.

"Where am I?" Clarke asked himself. He walked around aimlessly until he found light. He instinctively followed that light until he saw a small sphere shining brightly.

"What is this?" He asked as he touched the sphere.

Then it magically showed a picture of two people, a beautiful pink-haired man, and a hideous monster.

The monster hugged the pink-haired soft man possessively, with his disgusting sharp teeth grinning, "You cannot leave me, Jean. We're destined to be together, even in hell."

The pink-haired man struggled wildly as he started screaming frantically. He punched the monster's face and kicked wildly to no avail. His strength was nothing compared to that hideous monster.

"Don't leave me, Jean. What did I do wrong to you? I never hurt you, right?" The monster said.

"Never hurt me? You bastard has ruined me! You locked me in that house, you killed three of my men, and you took my power! You killed me, bastard!"

"I did that because I love you, Jean…."

After that, the face of the pink-haired man turned into the face of his beloved Gaius Gaist, while the monster's ugly face turned into his.

They were Clarke and Gaius in another life.

Gaius in the sphere then yelled, "I don't want to see your face anymore, UGLY MONSTER!"

Clarke couldn't believe what he had just seen. He knew it was all dream, but this dream looked so realistic, and this memory of Gaius calling him an ugly monster was still fresh in his mind.

Clarke took a few steps back. He shook his head out of shock, "No, that's not me. I… I am not an ugly monster. My wife doesn't hate me because I'm an ugly monster."

"Arrrghh!" Clarke clenched his head as he got a surge of headache.

Suddenly, a man appeared from the darkness of this void and walked towards Clarke. He had an exquisitely handsome face and wearing a black-golden robe.

He had a malicious smirk on his face as he stood in front of Clarke, "What you said is what happened between you and your wife in the previous life."

He hates you because you're nothing but a hideous monster. You're just a stalker for him. That's why you shouldn't chase for him anymore."

"NO! I LOVE MY WIFE! I LOVE HIM!"

"Nobody cares about love, especially your love for him. Everyone who loved him fell in the same demise, and you will too," the golden-black robe man said ruthlessly.

"You're nothing but an ugly monster for him, so just kill yourself and stop your relentless idiotic chase."
