1517 We still wait.
“So… you are telling me that not only the leaders of the two forces know each other… they have also formed an alliance?” Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
“That is correct.” Nux nodded.
As someone who could observe everything that was happening in that world, he knew about Nyssara and Zarathor’s meeting and what they concluded from it.
“And the losing side would stay here till the Will of the World of devoured?” Ember questioned.
“That’s what the Oath of Death they signed mentioned.” Nux nodded once again.
“And if the leaders are worried about losing their subordinates, then most probably, they will most probably end the War when the causalities reach five hundred. If that’s the case, we will be facing more than five thousand Divines or what they call the Ultimate Stage Powerhouses.”
Amaya muttered and Nux nodded again.
“Let’s abort the mission.”
Vyriana didn’t have to think too much.
Their plan of making the two forces face each other was thwarted, there is no point in staying here any longer.
Fighting Five Thousand Divines was plain foolishness.
The enemy was well prepared, there was nothing they could do in this situation.
Vyriana could only blame herself for not taking this world for herself earlier.
The Dragon then turned around, and just as she and the other women were about to leave, “We will wait.”
Nux spoke up.
“Huh?”
Vyriana and the others frowned.
“We will wait and see how this ends.”
“What’s the point?”
“Why return so quickly? We have only been here for a few years, I have already talked to Edda, the Universe is resisting her Law, but she can still hold on, Rune is safe for many centuries to come.
So we wait.”
Nux replied and hearing the words he said, Amaya narrowed her eyes, “Did you notice something?”
The words didn’t match Nux’s personality, someone like him suggesting to wait when his wife is waiting for him. Nux was a calm person overall, things however, change when his wives or one of his wives are not around him. A constant urge to get back to the said wife makes him impatient.
They had already noticed that in the case of Allura and Astaria, staying away from his wives was simply not possible for someone like Nux, and this feeling is only strengthened when the said wife is in some sort of danger.
Rune wasn’t exactly in danger, but with Nux’s personality, he would never leave her alone at a time like this… Unless…
He noticed something.
And once again, Amaya was correct.
“That Zarathor…
He is scheming something.”
Nux muttered.
“Scheming something?” Amaya narrowed her eyes.
“I can’t explain it.
My instincts tell me he is hiding something.
I have been observing him all this while and from the time I spend in illusion, I can tell he isn’t the simple-minded being he acts like.
People like them are usually scheming something.
Of course, this is just my guess and I am not confident or desperate enough to make a move based on a simple guess alone.
So we will just wait.
We will wait till the world is devoured, we won’t lose out much from this anyway, now would we?
I can also use this chance to experiment more with the Universal Energy, so it is a win-win, no?”
Nux smiled and in the end, the women just nodded.
The plan was the same, they would observe till something happened. The women returned to the Cosmocraft and Nux continued to observe.
Time passed, and the ‘War’ started.
This time, the Ultimate Stage Powerhouses participated as well, even Nyssara and Zarathor took part as well.
The War continued for 3 more weeks until finally,
A smile appeared on Nux’s face and he stopped observing the world and returned to the Cosmocraft.
“What happened?” Astaria questioned with a curious look on her face.
“It is just as I expected.” Nux’s smile widened.
“What do you mean?”
“Zarathor made a move.”
“What did he do?”
Instead of answering, Nux just pointed in a certain direction and, “Vyriana, move the Cosmocraft away from that world.”
Vyriana did as she was told while she and the others kept their eyes in the direction Nux pointed.
A few minutes later, they finally noticed something.
An Army.
“T-That’s…” Evane stuttered.
“3000 Ultimate Stage Powerhouses.
They are from Zarathor’s side.”
Nux answered.
“He called for reinforcements?” Felberta tilted her head.
“His Plan was never to devour the World, well, it was a good side reward, I can’t deny that.
His real target, however, was Nyssara.”
“Is he… planning to annihilate her forces?”
“Who knows?” Nux just chuckled.
Whatever it was, it was much more interesting than a simple alliance and taking over a world. With a big smile on his face, Nux continued to observe the army that had appeared. He was looking forward to how things would play out from this point.

Thunder Thunder
Rumble Rumble
Whoosh Whoosh
The world trembled.
It was on the verge of destruction already and now, there were even more newcomers.
“LADY NYSSARA!!”
A being with features similar to Nyssara rushed into her room with a panicked look on his face, inside the room, however, Nyssara already had a solemn look on her face. She had sensed it as well.
The Will of the World, that wanted Chaos had already informed her about the new force that was entering the battlefield.
Three Thousand Ultimate Stage Powerhouses…
It was a force as strong as the one they currently had, if things continued like this, this would turn into a three-way battle and that would mean that the number of causalities would increase.
Wanting to avoid that, the Serpenthri instantly contacted her ‘enemy’.
The plan was simple, she and Zarathor would combine their strength and deal with this new enemy, once they annihilate the enemy or scare them away, they would change their battle into a one-on-one duel to decide the victor and the winning party would get to devour the world.
This was the most efficient way to deal with this situation.
Or…
At least that’s what Nyssara thought.
Her plan, however, was bound to fail.
