Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties-Chapter 498: Celebration and Goodbye

The party was so loud that even the walls of Luxoria Castle seemed to shake.

Bright lights danced over the crowd, reflecting off the gleaming silver of the Vornis on display.

Music boomed from speakers high above, making the ground pulse with each beat.

People lined up at the merchandise tables, credits in hand, eager to buy the new Vornis.

Shopkeepers worked fast, their hands flying as they scanned and packed boxes.

Every few seconds, another Vornis left the table, carried away by a smiling customer.

L-Shark leaned against the side of one table, his saw-blade arms crossed over his chest.

He watched the chaos with a wide grin.

"They're like a pack of starving beasts," he said, his voice deep and amused.

"Can't get enough."

L-Snake slithered across the floor, his silver scales gleaming under the lights.

His eyes flicked from person to person as he moved.

"They'll spend everything they have," he hissed, his tone cold.

"That's what Luxoria does best."

L-Hawk hovered above the crowd, his wings barely moving.

His sharp eyes scanned the room lazily.

"Humans and their need to buy," he said, his voice calm.

"They'll buy anything we sell."

Fiona stood near the main stage, her hoverpack glowing.

She held her mic to her lips, her grin bright as she addressed the crowd.

"Fans of Luxoria!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the hall.

"This is the biggest party yet, all thanks to our incredible leader—Lord Lucius!"

The chat on her screen lit up.

@SteelEdge: This is insane!

@HybridMaster: Lucius is the best!

@VornisHunter: I just bought three Vornis!

---

Fiona laughed, her voice warm.

"Keep cheering, everyone!"

"The Vornis sale is going strong, and we're just getting started!"

Lucius stood near the back of the room, his silver hair catching the light.

He crossed his arms, his smirk wide as he watched the celebration.

His eyes gleamed as he saw the Vornis flying off the tables.

He turned his head slightly, catching L-Shark's eye.

"Happy customers mean more power for Luxoria," he said, his tone smooth.

L-Shark chuckled, his teeth sharp. "And more for us," he said.

L-Snake slithered closer, his eyes glowing.

"They'll never forget tonight," he hissed, his voice low. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

L-Hawk's wings shifted as he drifted closer.

"They'll remember who gave it to them," he said.

Lucius's smirk widened. "Exactly," he said.

Fiona hovered higher, spinning in the air, her hoverpack humming.

"Everyone!" she called out.

"Make sure to tag Luxoria when you post your new Vornis photos! Let's keep the party going all night!"

The crowd cheered, their voices blending with the music.

@HybridQueen: This party is unstoppable!

@PlasmaEdge: Lord Lucius, thank you!

@VornisFanatic: Luxoria forever!

---

Lucius lifted his head, his eyes sharp as he looked out over the sea of people.

"Luxoria stands strong tonight," he said, his voice steady.

"And tomorrow, we rise even higher."

The party roared, the music louder, the lights brighter.

Lucius's grin grew as he watched his kingdom celebrate.

---

Hadrian and the others stood together, their bodies bruised and their eyes heavy with defeat.

The cold wind swept through the quiet battlefield, stirring the torn flags and the ashes of the night's fight.

They looked at the stream displayed on the screen.

A replay of the Luxoria party, the Vornis sale, and the laughter echoing through the halls of Lucius's castle.

Every moment felt like a wound reopening, the celebration like salt poured on raw flesh.

Cassius's eyes burned as his drones hovered lifelessly at his side.

"He thinks he's won everything," he muttered, his voice low.

Sylvia's shields flickered weakly as she clenched her fists.

"But it's not over," she said.

Theron stood behind them, his arms crossed, his eyes sharp and cold.

"Remember this night," he growled. "We lost today, but next time, we will win."

Hadrian's claws trembled as he raised his head.

"Lucius," he whispered, his voice steady despite the pain.

"You may celebrate now, but the Aurelius family will rise again."

He turned to the others, his eyes fierce.

"Next time," he said, his voice low but certain. "We will win."

Lucius sat on the edge of his bed, his silver hair falling over his shoulders.

His eyes were focused but calm, the light of the evening filtering through the window behind him.

Suddenly, a faint light flickered in front of him.

The air shimmered, and a glowing blue panel appeared, forming into a floating screen.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE INITIATED]

[Detected: Host has reached the peak of the current life world]

[Beast Hack System is no longer needed]

[Beginning detachment from the host]

Lucius's eyes widened, his breath catching.

"What the hell?" he said, his voice low.

"What do you mean I'm at the peak?"

The screen shifted, new lines forming.

[Hadrian Aurelius detected as the strongest being in this world]

[After defeating him, host has become the strongest one]

[Now system is not needed anymore]

Lucius's smirk faded, his eyes narrowing.

"I see," he whispered.

He leaned back slightly, his arms crossing.

"So I really have become the peak, huh?"

He sighed, his eyes softening.

"The journey wasn't that long after all," he said.

"And now I've become the strongest. I could even retire."

He paused, his gaze locked on the screen.

"But still… system, what are you really?"

The screen flickered once more.

[System is just system]

[Goodbye, host]

[Be strong]

Lucius's breath caught as the light from the system faded.

He reached out, his hand passing through the air where the screen had been.

"System," he said, his voice low.

He waited, but nothing happened.

"System," he called again, his voice louder.

But still, no response.

Lucius sat in silence for a moment, his hand slowly lowering.

"There are still many mysteries," he muttered.

He leaned forward, his eyes glowing with determination.

"Fortunately, I have hacked all of my people," he said.

"And Liline has already evolved into a spirit that can handle everything.

[Fusion beasts, cloning beasts, and so much more."

He stood, his silver hair swaying with his movement.

A smirk formed on his lips as he looked out the window.

"Let's just enjoy the party," he said, his voice firm.

He placed a hand over his heart, his smirk widening.

"System," he whispered, "I'll never forget you for your help."

Lucius turned, his steps light as he moved toward the door.

Outside, the party continued, the laughter and music blending into a lively chorus.

Lucius paused, his eyes sharp.

"No matter what," he said, his voice steady, "I'll keep moving forward."
