The curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian
Hellox Ball

He continued to run until he finally arrived in front of an empty room door. The Silverian King then stopped running and smiled sinisterly as he looked ahead.

"Here you are, apparently, Higarashi" he said with an annoyed face.

A man standing in the middle of the hall turned to Aerim and looked at him with a serious face. He is Higarashi, who has returned to his original form, no longer as Victory Higarashi.

“Ah, you must be confused. This palace is like a labyrinth, and worse still, star energy cannot be used here, because dark energy is too dominant, right?” aerim asked, still with a cynical smile.

"Where is Keira, Aerim?!" hygarashi exclaimed, but with a high tone.

Aerim then laughed for a while, then said, "It turns out that Televatia did not last long. If so, just find your own wife, can't you still turn yourself into Victory Higarashi?!"

"Damn it! You see, Aerim! The energy of love we have will soon make you regret bringing her here!" hygarashi Reply.

"Love?! The energy of love is an illusion! There is no such thing as love! It was all just a feeling made up by mortal humans! Love can make you stupid and the proof is, your planet is almost destroyed by love, right?! Ahaha!" aerim said while laughing.

"No, Aerim, you're wrong! Only love can stop the war between us! You must learn to love, Aerim!" hygarashi.

"I love Keira, Higarashi. So, in order for this galaxy to come back to peace, what if you divorce Keira and hand her over to me?" aerim asked with a wide cynical smile.

Higarashi growled and started clenching his right hand while holding back all emotions.

“Ah, waste of time talking to you!” aerim exclaimed, then, black fog enveloped his entire body and he instantly disappeared.

"Damn it! Aerim!!" higarashi exclaimed with a face that looked panicked.

He then ran in all directions, aimlessly.

“Truly the palace of the labyrinth, once inside it, it is very difficult to get out! Damnit!” he shouted while watching all corners of the palace.

Higarashi began to burn out, as the light energy he possessed had already begun to thin. He now slowed his pace, until in a passageway, he decided to stop stepping. His breathing was heavy, even occasionally, Higarashi took a deep breath.

"Damn it, where did he hide Keira?! I just remember Keira saying that she was inside a giant black sphere, and yet, where was that ball?" annoyed.

“Why didn't you notice the back of this palace when you landed earlier, dear?” asked a woman who suddenly appeared and stood behind him.

Higarashi was surprised by the woman's voice, then he looked back. A black-haired woman with both eyes that are also black, whether since when was there. Higarashi then stood up straight while looking at the woman with a serious face.

“I ... did not see the back of this palace at all because it was too panicked,” Higarashi replied.

The woman gave a small laugh for a while, then said, “It is no wonder why Aerim calls yourself a foolish King. Aerim was about to suck all the energy of the woman with a giant black ball called Hellox Ball.”

"Who are you, Miss? Why do you know what Aerim will do to Keira?" he asked with a suspicious face.

"I? I'm a prisoner here. I know you, you, and the girl. You've eaten at a restaurant the only one on the beach, haven't you?" answer the woman.

He smiled a little. His age might be a little older than Higarashi, however, his face still looked young. The smile on his face made the King of Halida not feel his presence as a threat.

Higarashi then recalled again, the incident on the beach at that time, then he nodded after realizing something, and looked again at the woman with a calm face this time.

"Ah, you are Viora. I remember now. You're the owner of that restaurant. But how can you be a prisoner here? Why do you know about Aerim's plan to Keira?" ask Higarashi.

The woman, Viora, shook her head, then smiled again to Higarashi and said, “I am a noble daughter of Ruthenia. However, both my parents are dead.”

“Ah, so. Then?” asked Higarashi out of curiosity.

“I just happened to be visiting one of my friends inside a planet that is located far from the Goldinian Solar System. Unfortunately, Aerim comes with his soldiers and takes all the cosmic energy and resources that exist on the planet, including making the entire population his captive. For the sake of survival, he offered me to swallow a pill that contained dark energy, and required me to obey him and stay here for good,” Viora replied with a sad face.

Higarashi suddenly recalled Keira and said, “Ah, I'm sorry, I have to find Keira immediately. In that case, I will leave first, Viora.”

He then stepped away from Viora, but, after a while, Higarashi stopped his steps and turned back to look at the woman, looking at her with a serious face.

Viora then smiled at him and asked, “Is there anything else I can help you with?”

"Why did you tell me where Keira is and Aerim's plans? Is this all part of the trap you've set for me and my wife?" asked Higarashi while frowning his forehead.

The woman chuckled, then replied, "You are His Majesty King Higarashi of Halida. You think I don't want to be free from here? All this information is not free. I just want to ask for your help to be free from the clutches of Aerim.”

"I have to trust you first" Higarashi said.

Viora smiled again, then replied, "I'll show you where the Hellox Ball is."

He then walked first towards where the Hellox Ball was, and Higarashi followed him from behind, of course with great caution.

Meanwhile, black fog suddenly appeared above the Hellox Ball which was in the backyard of the palace. Aerim then emerged from behind the black fog, then placed both of his palms on top of the giant black sphere with a serious face.

“Suck that female energy right now, all over!!” exciting Aerim.

A flash of dark energy then emerged from within both of his palms, then grabbed the Hellox Ball slowly, from top to bottom. After that, Aerim flew over the giant black sphere, while watching the object with a joyful face and a sinister smile.

The giant black sphere was now glowing .. but the color of the light was black, preparing to suck cosmic energy from its victim.
