1386 A genius…
“Nux.”
She called out.
“Hmm?” Nux glanced at his mother and then,
“I finally decided who my disciple will be.”
Faustina spoke, her blue eyes shining intensely as she glanced at Felberta.
“What…?” Felberta frowned in confusion.
Seeing her expression, Faustina’s smile widened even further, “A genius who doesn’t know she is a genius. How amusing~”
The Progenitor then turned towards the rest of the women and, “How come you people didn’t say anything to her?”
She questioned.
“…”
“…”
Silence fell over the place.
Of course, no one knew what the Progenitor was talking about.
A genius…?
Felberta was a kind woman, she was intelligent, had great leadership skills, great management skills, she was efficient, she was a great planner, she was many things… however… They knew she wasn’t a genius.
After all, she was just a woman, who, if she hadn’t met Nux, wouldn’t even be alive by now since her mortal life would have ended by now.
The only reason she could cultivate at such monstrous speed was because of Nux’s ability to Dual Cultivate, the sole reason most of them, if not all, were able to keep up with Nux.
However, after thinking about it, they understood where the Progenitor was coming from… 8 Techniques…
As women who have worked on Mastering the Techniques and some of them even succeeding in the process, they knew just how difficult it was.
Even Astaria, who had been training for a long time, only Mastered 4 Techniques to the Assimilation Level, the rest of them only mastered 1 or 2, and some didn’t even manage to master 1.
Just from this alone, they could tell just how difficult it was to Master the technique to the Assimilation Level. After all, it was the level where you understand the ‘impact’ of the technique on the universe and alter it to suit your own self.
This is not something that could be done within a matter of a few years.
But…
All the women turned towards Felberta, who had a frown on her face and couldn’t help but think at the same time, ‘How…?’
They couldn’t understand.
How was she able to Master so many techniques…
“Heh. What are you so surprised about?”
Suddenly, everyone heard a confident voice.
The women turned towards the man who had his hands on either side of his waist and a proud smile on his face, the man strengthened his back, raised his chest and, “My wife is a genius. Of course, she would be a genius.
She is my wife! My first wife!”
The man spoke as he then grabbed the woman from behind, tightly pulling her into his embrace.
“…”
“…”
Seeing this sight, the rest of the wives didn’t know what to say.
The man’s ability to completely ignore what bothered them and not question anything was incredible.
To think he wouldn’t even try to think how Felberta was able to do all this… not even doubting if she did something she shouldn’t have… But…
That was just why they were attracted to this pervert.
After all, he trusted them with his life.
Even in the case of Aisha, when everyone thought she formed a ‘Law that a Succubus comprehends’ and were looking at her with accusing eyes, the man simply chuckled and laughed out loud, enjoying the show while fully trusting his wife.
He had the same trust in Felberta, even though he knew that the woman was very much capable of taking extreme steps because of her insecurities, somewhere in his heart, Nux knew that even if she decided to take such a step, she would first discuss it with him.
He believed that his wife wouldn’t keep him in the dark about something so important.
He believed in his wife, therefore, when something good happened, he didn’t think too much and just blamed everything on his wife.
‘My wife is amazing, this result was obvious.’
Feeling his embrace, Felberta smiled gently, an expression a lot different than what she had shown before.
Seeing this sight and how her son was able to calm his wives, Faustina couldn’t help but smile lightly.
Then, not wanting to be forgotten, she spoke up,
“Anyways, I will be taking this gem under me, if you don’t mind, that is.”
The Progenitor spoke as she glanced at Felberta.
“Will… you take me somewhere…?”
Felberta questioned with an uncertain look on her face. As someone who is unable to form her Law, she knew she shouldn’t have the leeway to ask such questions but… She didn’t want to stay away from Nux…
After all… she couldn’t possibly imagine her life… not being able to stay in this comfortable embrace.
These past few years were already torturous as it is, she didn’t want something even worse.
Seeing the girl’s expression, Faustina couldn’t help but sigh.
These women… they were indeed beyond saving.
“It would be better if I do take you to a place I have in my mind, right now, however, I will only be passing a few techniques to you, After all, I need to observe my son’s progress and oversee his training.
And…”
The Progenitor then glanced at her son and,
“There is also something I wish to discuss with him.
I am merely waiting for a good opportunity.”
Nux raised his eyebrow when he heard those words. He wanted to know what Faustina was talking about, right now however, he knew Felberta was more important.
“Then I accept.”
Felberta spoke, looking at Faustina with determined eyes.
This was a godsent opportunity, right when she wanted guidance more than anything, a Progenitor, the Mother of all humans offered her help. She would be a fool to reject it.
Faustina, hearing the woman’s words, smiled brightly.
Then, the ring on her finger shined and suddenly, an old, dirty book appeared in her hand and a small smile appeared on her face.
Nux narrowed his eyes when he saw that book. He didn’t know why, but the moment he saw that book and Faustina’s expression when she took out the book, he felt something strange.
Faustina however, completely ignored her son’s gaze and continued to stare at the book in her hand, “This could be called an inheritance of the woman that I could call… a friend…”
“For someone you call a friend, you didn’t handle her inheritance well…” Amaya commented as she saw the condition of the book.
Faustina stared at the devourer and replied,
“It was in such a state when I received it.”
Faustina wasn’t a fool, she, as a being who have lived for millions of years, could easily tell that Amaya’s words were a trap, she however, didn’t mind walking into the trap. After all, she wasn’t trying to harm anyone.
And just as the Progenitor expected, Amaya continued.
“How is that possible? Considering that she was your friend, she must be considerably strong. For her to not even be able to hand over her inheritance to you, one of the strongest beings in the world…”
Everyone could tell where Amaya was getting at.
Normally, Amaya wouldn’t pry so much since it is considered disrespectful and insensitive, especially since even a fool could tell what happened to the ‘friend’ Faustina mentioned. However, since this was directly related to Felberta, her husband’s wife, and someone who, just like her, was a big part of her husband’s life, she couldn’t be careless.
“The opponents she faced were strong.”
Faustina replied.
Nux glanced at her mother and,
“Even stronger than you…?”
A wry smile appeared on Faustina’s face.
“Yes.
Even stronger than me. After all, they wouldn’t have been able to kill that woman if they weren’t stronger than me.
That woman was a monster in her own right.”
“She was stronger than you…?”
“Strong is an understatement.”
Faustina spoke, remembering her friend.
“She was a freak. She was strong enough to defeat the Dragon Progenitor Couple alone.”
“How was such a being…”
The question didn’t need to be continued, Faustina understood what Felberta wanted to ask, “Her companions were weak. Even if she was strong, absurdly strong, she could face her enemies alone. Once her world was taken over, she, the only surviving Progenitor of the world was surrounded and killed.”
Faustina spoke, her blue eyes gleamed dangerously as she recalled that incident.
“If her death affected you so much, why didn’t you help?”
Vyriana questioned directly.
She didn’t know who this woman was, however, she knew one thing, if her friend was in trouble and it was to the point where she was surrounded by her enemies and was facing such a cowardly situation, she would be the first one to rush and help her.
After all, as a warrior, the thing she hated the most was the cowardly act of surrounding and outnumbering enemies.
She believed in head-on battles.
Faustina glanced at the Dragon and smiled wryly,
“As I said, her enemies weren’t weak, without Azriel, defeating them was impossible.”
“Then why didn’t the Vampire Progenito-”
Vyriana wanted to ask, however, the answer she got was simple, “He was sleeping.”
