Chapter 108: Talk with Nova
Nova’s face lit up a bit and she smiled radiantly. She gently caressed his face and said,
“You are also more precious to me than anyone. Though I still love Lyra and their mother as well, Celestina… she is like a big sister to me. I don’t care about the other two. But I can’t bring myself to share you with anyone, even though I know how you feel about them.”
Evan also smiled back at her but he stayed quiet while closing his eyes. Seeing him not responding, Nova decided to ask him something else.
“So, did you clarify your doubts with your system? You came here to talk with it, right?”
Evan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Nova, his eyes questioning her.
Nova realized what he was thinking and answered,
“It’s not that hard to figure out when you doze off when talking. It can be that you think to yourself, but you are not made to change your expressions when talking to yourself; those are the things done by delusional only.”
Evan simply hummed and closed his eyes again, and said,
“So you figured it out, huh? Yeah, I talk to my system when I have some doubts. I am not omniscient to know all things, but my system knows better than me, so I ask it to clarify my queries.”
It wasn’t something that Evan was trying to hide at all so he didn’t mind revealing it to her.
“So, did you clear your doubts now?”
“Most of it, yeah. I am planning to go to a nearby realm from here; the tower also went there, so it will be easier for us to get experience from battle.”
Nova looked at me lovingly and asked,
“Do you plan to go to the demon realm in the future?”
Even without hesitation answered to her,
“I do. There are many things that I have to do there.”
“You plan to kill that demon king, right?”
There was an unhinged rage inside Nova when she remembered the demon king who made her life like hell in the demon realm.
“You do too, right?”
“But just thinking about it won’t make it happen. Our strength is nowhere near enough to defeat him; he is someone who is just a step away from reaching the god realm.”
Evan, then replied to her while looking at the sky above,
“He hasn’t become one yet, and he won’t become one in the future. I won’t let him become one. We have to increase our strength now and we will be needing an army to fight against him.”
“But just getting an army of people to fight isn’t enough; rather than quantity, you should focus on quality. It won’t be a battle of humans when we fight against that demon king, it’s going to be a battle of cultivators. A group with only small cultivators will only get slaughtered in that battle.” Nova said.
“Umm, that’s why I plan to do something else. I am going to make an army of my own with the people with the highest potential and groom them here and make them a force that can help me in that battle.”
‘Though, I will make them all slaves who only listen to me and can even die for me.’
Nova nodded her head and said,
“That’s a good idea, but I don’t think you will get people with good potential here. Even among those below, Lyra is the only one with good potential, all three of them don’t have much in them.”
Evan chuckled after hearing that and said,
“At first, I also thought like you did, big sister. But now, I think it’s not just potential that matters; I mean, it does in most aspects; a person with higher potential will grow much faster. But besides that, their abilities also matter; if you look at Mizuki, her ability is a blessing; she can get stronger faster when she is inside a place with more trees, and I believe there is something more to her than just that.”
‘Even that god came itself when he felt that I was taking his blessing… hmm? Now that I think about it, why did he say that? I was not going to take her blessing, or… I can do something like that. I have to check it another time.’
Evan then continued himself,
“While Celestina is a descendant of a god, if her bloodline becomes pure, her potential will increase as well. And last is Ann; her ability is broken; she can copy anything that she sees.”
After listening to Evan, Nova nodded her head and said,
“Hmm, but I know it already. Mizuki is a normal human who never had any experience in battle, Celestina’s potential is hard to improve, and I don’t think I need to tell you how much difficult it is to make a bloodline pure, and lastly Anna, she can only copy those things that she can see, nothing more than that. So all of them do have something that they lack as well. I am not trying to say that they are worthless, but you are gonna have to do a lot of things to make them stronger, do you think you can achieve that?”
She said to Evan with concern. Yeah, it was true that their abilities were good, but they still lacked the potential to grow stronger; with their less potential, they would eventually get stuck at some point in their long journey. What will happen I,f after everything Evan did? They can’t even ascend to the demon realm by themselves.
‘Her worries are valid, I even had a plan to fix that issue, but I guess I am gonna have to wait for that. I don’t care much about others, but I hope she is safe; her ability and her skills are something that I very much needed to make an army like that. A woman who is the inventor of the potions that are distributed to every hunter and a member of Hunters academy, I planned to include her in my team, but now that the Earth has been destroyed… sigh, it’s gonna be my only regret, it will be difficult for me to find someone like her.’
“Don’t worry, I will do that. You will also help me, so it will be much easier.”
Evan said buttering her up a bit, and Nova simply smiled at his answer.
“So, when do you plan to move?”
“Soon, I am waiting for Mother to arrive, and then we will go to that realm. By the way, do you know where she went?” Evan asked.
Nova quietly looked at the sky and said,
“She told me she was going to visit someone, she didn’t say where, but I guess she went to the demon realm.”
Evan looked worried when he heard that she went to the demon realm and asked,
“Then won’t she be in danger? What if the demon king found out about her?”
But Nova reassured him and said,
“Don’t worry, she isn’t as weak as you think she is. Her strength is far stronger than what it should be. Her realm is only in the Heavenly Monarch Realm, but her strength is much higher than that; she has been planning to get her revenge on that demon since a long ago, so to not make him suspicious, she increased her body cultivation more than her energy cultivation.”
She then stopped for a while and said,
“But her current strength is still not enough to defeat him, but she has some equipment from grandma, so she will be fine; she told me she will return soon, so she must be arriving soon now in a few days.”
“It’s good then.” Evan sighed.
“You should rest for now; they are just wandering around the sect, so you can rest for a while. Sleep just like this, and don’t worry too much, your big sister is here for you anytime.”
Nova said with care and life while she patted his head gently. Evan smiled and said thank you inside his head.
He comfortably laid on her thigh and thought of what he was going to do now.
‘First, I have to perfect my skills, then I am gonna have to find her in that new world, it will be much easier for me to grow my army with her. Hey system, can you tell me if she is alive or not?’
[Are you talking about that chemist who made those potions in your world?]
‘Yeah.’
[Well, think of yourself as a lucky host; she is still inside a dungeon, but I don’t know how long she is gonna survive there. She doesn’t have anything to protect her with anyway.]
