“Everything you are, is because of me, Nux Leander. Everything you have is because I gave you that, And know this, If I can give it to you, I can take it away as well.” Nux’s father declared coldly. Then, in an authoritative tone, he raised his hand and, “Let this be a lesson for you, my son. Learn to respect your elders, Learn to appreciate what was given to you, Learn to accept your elder’s goodwill for you, And…
Don’t let things get to your head, Don’t be arrogant just because you are powerful, especially in front of the one who gave you that power, Understand that there are consequences for every action, And the consequences of your actions will be severe.” Then, with a cold smile on his face, “Now learn to live without the system you are so proud of and I’ll wait and see who amongst these ‘loves of your life’ will be standing together with you.” *THUNDER* *THUNDER* Nux’s father momentarily activated his powers, making the entire Universe react just like how it did when the Black Hole devoured the World’s residual energy. Yes, once again, a taboo happened. A being, who should have died hundreds and thousands of billion years ago, used his powers, showing that he had somehow escaped the universe’s cycle and didn’t return to the Universe like how he was supposed to.
The Universe was enraged. Nux’s father, however, didn’t care about such a thing, he simply stared at his son, the energy releasing from his body connected with the System inside Nux’s body. Nux, who could sense it all glanced at his father with a calm gaze, “So you are going to take my system away because I do not wish to follow your arrangements?” He questioned.
“I like your calmness.” The father nodded in satisfaction, “I like how even now, you stand firm. That shows your confidence. Confidence is a good thing, but… Sometimes, it turns against you. So I will be using this chance to take your source of confidence away from you. I will be taking away everything that I gave you, the System, the items System Shop, the Abilities given by the System, and… the Law of Absolute Growth. I will take all of it away, And unless you better yourself and understand the world better, I will be keeping it to myself. I have waited for billions of years, son. So don’t test my patience because I am willing to wait for a billion more. Self-reflect, understand where you were wrong, Then come to me and take back your system.” The father then glanced at Nux’s wives and, “Whether you do that alone, or together, it won’t matter as long as you understand what I am trying to tell you.” In the end, he gave his son a leeway. He made it clear that he wasn’t against his wives, he could have however many he wanted, if he truly loved them, and even if he didn’t, he had no need to treat them the same as he would treat the rest of his army. After all, picking favourites wasn’t an issue. Back then, even he had his favourites. What he wanted Nux to reflect on his rigid mind and change that, all that talk about being ‘faithful’ to his wives, and creating true elites or whatnot, that is only some wishful thinking. That was not possible, a few people cannot take over the universe. In the end, a few cannot defeat an army. He wasn’t going against Nux completely, he had no reason to do that, Only Nux’s soul was compatible with the System, no one else could use, so even if he took it away, it would take a long time to find someone who could use the system, and whether they will be able to find a person like that or not was a question as well, and keeping the system to himself won’t do anyone any good. There was no point in severing their relationship because of this. They were not enemies, Nux’s father only wanted to teach his son a life lesson. He wanted his son to see the reality. He wanted him to understand that these few women were not everything this universe has to offer.
He wanted his son to understand that ultimately, these women were merely his tools as well, sure, they can be his favourite tools, but in the end, they are still just that, tools. If push comes to shove, Nux needs to learn how to use these tools and save his own life, not sacrifice his own life to save the tools. After all, making new tools wasn’t difficult, but finding another creator of such tools was extremely difficult. Nux’s father only wanted his son to understand his own worth, he wanted him to know that he was far above these women, and these women should know that as well. And until then…
He would take action himself.
Or… that is what Nux’s father thought…
But then, “See? This is why I doubted the system from the very start.” Nux commented as he shrugged. “A system that differentiated me from all other cultivators, giving me abilities others would kill for as if it is nothing. It was all too good to be true.” Nux’s father narrowed his eyes when he heard those words. It was strange, Nux was calm, a little too calm. Even if he can completely control his emotions, his trump card was being taken away from him, the system brought Nux where he was, it was Nux’s everything. The source of every single one of his abilities. Nux’s father knew this because he created the very system, and when he created it, he made sure to make the Host entirely dependent on the System. Amaya wasn’t wrong, Nux’s father wasn’t naïve enough to only rely on their ‘soul bond’, he had something else up his sleeves. The power of System. A cultivator entirely dependent on the system would never dare to go against a being who could control the very system he relied on. But… What in the hell is happening here…? Why… why instead of frowning or worrying about all this…
Why was this person smiling…? “Father.” Suddenly, Nux called out. The being stared at Nux and Nux’s smile widened, “I thank you for your ‘gift’, But the thing is, Your son is quite greedy. Since you already gave it to me, It is mine, And I do not share what is mine.” Nux’s eyes shined brightly, a strange energy gathered around him, “It was still just a theory in my mind, I didn’t have the chance to test it, But oh well, It is not like I have a choice.” Nux activated the Black Hole and suddenly, His father widened his eyes in horror when he sensed his energy being cut off. He…
He couldn’t sense the system anymore!!
