### Chapter 59: Become Fate
The scene shifts.
Kuro and Luo Xi face off in a desolate area.
One with a passionate smile, another with a deadpan expression, truly a clash of extremes.
Then Kuro spoke, his tone filled with nostalgia.
“White, it’s been a long time. It’s great to see you again. The distance of space and time can’t keep us apart. Let’s join hands and bring our passion to the entire world!”
Luo Xi calmly stared at Kuro.
“You’re still the same old Kuro, nothing has changed.”
“That’s obvious. After all, I’ve been asleep since the beginning, how could I experience the same passage of time as you? In my eyes, you haven’t changed much either, always so cold.”
“Is that what you think?”
“Hmm, there have been some big changes, indeed. You used to be indifferent to everything, but now you seem to have grown fond of humans, which is quite an improvement—but not nearly enough! White! Your passion shouldn’t be monopolized by just one human. The entire world should feel your passion just like me!”
Kuro stretched out his hand, brimming with intense emotion.
“Come on, White, let’s reunite our wills and challenge this cold-hearted fate! Passion should never fade, and destiny shouldn’t stop me from expressing warmth to the world!”
Luo Xi gave Kuro a frosty look.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t. Our wills split apart ages ago, and I don’t want to act with you anymore.”
“You’re refusing me, White? This pains me deeply. Once upon a time, you were my most trusted and relied-upon partner. No matter what, you should support me!”
“But that was then.”
Luo Xi pointed at her collar around her neck.
Given Kuro’s sharp vision, he could clearly see the collar.
It was a forceful contract, proof that Luo Xi belonged to another.
At this moment, Night Star Lan used her contract to teleport to their location.
The stand-off between Star Origin and Luo Xi suddenly interrupted them.
Night Star Lan glared angrily at Kuro, holding Luo Xi tightly in her arms. She looked resolute.
“I heard everything! d*mn Kuro, you won’t take my Luo Xi away. She’s mine! Forever mine!”
Kuro narrowed his eyes.
“Friend, you need to understand the rules. First come, first served. White and I share origins in fate, known as the Star Origin—we are one. In a way, you took my partner.”
Night Star Lan puffed out her cheeks, obviously displeased.
“Who are you calling a friend? If you dare take my Luo Xi, our friendship is over! Not gonna budge!”
Kuro fell silent, torn by these complications.
As mentioned before, Kuro and White form the Star Origin only when their wills align, capable of doing anything.
Though Kuro is incredibly powerful compared to Luo Xi and Night Star Lan, powerful enough to change the world with a single thought.
But this passion means little to fate.
Only together with White, reuniting as Star Origin, with him leading their resolve, could they challenge fate.
Yet Night Star Lan stepped in to thwart him.
As his special friend and wielder of the noble power [Wish Machine], Kuro cherished their bond and didn’t want to harm her, maintaining his intense regard for her always.
Now, he had to choose.
Should his all-consuming zeal or his unique friend hold precedence?
In mere seconds, Kuro answered.
“Sorry, friend, I will envelop the world with passion—nothing can stop me.”
Kuro’s aura changed instantly, radiating overwhelming power.
Night Star Lan held onto Luo Xi tighter, feeling the tension.
“Luo Xi, what do we do?”
Luo Xi watched Kuro, softly uttering:
“Kuro’s gone wild—without my influence, he’s easily controlled by obsessive zeal. This is a curse from fate. If he slips again, even I can’t stop him, and humanity will plunge back into endless darkness.”
Though Kuro used to stir up trouble, it wasn’t that extreme—he just amplified human endeavors.
Partly due to Luo Xi limiting him, avoiding direct interference in human society.
With Luo Xi’s will now fragmented, Kuro fully embodies Star Origin.
Its unstable state results from his current flaws.
Besides his emotional volatility, he’s prone to obsession.
This is the nature of Star Eclipses power—great strength yet hard to control.
Not even Star Origin could escape.
Night Star Lan gulped down the tension.
“Luo Xi, do you think I can beat him?”
Luo Xi glanced at her nonchalantly.
“What do you think?”
“Should we max out our limits? But Wish Princess warned against recklessness, plus the Star Eclipse condition feels…bad.”
“I’ll help you.”
Luo Xi kissed her, transforming into a beam of light that entered Night Star Lan.
At the same time.
Wish Princess suddenly understood Luo Xi’s approach, releasing her spiritual restrictions, enabling Night Star Lan’s rapid growth.
“Huh?”
Night Star Lan suddenly felt her spirit soaring, instantly surpassing class-A, and nearing her peak before hitting her limit.
Word is out.
Kuro enhances Star Eclipses, raising its status almost to origin rank.
Similarly, Luo Xi has this effect.
Of course, she’s not as powerful as Kuro, nor can she elevate Night Star Lan to godlike levels.
She can temporarily nullify fate’s curse, preventing it from corrupting Night Star Lan’s mind.
Now, as an A-rank spirit breaker, Night Star Lan moves, rather than being in Star Eclipses mode.
Plus, with Luo Xi’s boost, her spirit power surpasses A-rank, reaching unknown heights.
In a sense, this is peak performance.
But consequences may include attracting fate’s attention.
Fate normally wouldn’t tolerate someone who could easily alter its course, especially with a [Wish Machine] like hers.
But this situation is different.
Night Star Lan is in conflict with Kuro.
In a way, Kuro is fate’s problem child.
Now Night Star needs to confront Kuro.
If this happens, fate might turn a blind eye, not punishing her.
Of course, this is all Luo Xi’s guess.
Fate remains unpredictable.
“Ugh, this isn’t half-bad.”
Night Star Lan confidently stared at Kuro, figuring out the moves in a flash.
Does fate rule everything?
Can anyone resist its inevitable plan?
Meh.
If that’s the case, becoming fate sounds okay.
