“I want you to break that stalemate and take what those four bastards desperately want,” Zylarith spoke as he glanced at Nux. “No, let me rephrase, You are the only one who has the power to break this stalemate.”
The Chaos Progenitor spoke, and suddenly, something shocking happened. “So I only need to take over the Universe’s Will to get that power?” Azriel questioned in a heavy tone as he stared at Zylarith.
Knowingly or unknowingly, Zylarith had touched a sensitive topic. Even the Strongest Being in the universe wanted something, and he wanted it desperately but had been silent all this while because he knew what he wished for was simply impossible. But now… An unknown being came and said that fulfilling his wish was possible, not just that, he said that it was as easy as flicking one’s finger, obviously, Azriel’s reaction to those words was stronger than what others had expected. A chance to revive his dead wives…
It didn’t matter if all of this was fake, if there was even the slight hope that this place would work, he would do it. “It is not that simple. As I said, the four Supreme Worlds would neve-” “I will destroy them.” Azriel declared. The four Supreme Words or their strength didn’t matter. It never did, all these years, Azriel had been silent because his actions had no meaning to them. He had already lost what he loved the most…
There was no point in continue doing everything or anything anymore…
But now…
Things were different. Azriel’s blood-red eyes burned intensely, the aura he unknowingly released made every single being present here tremble, even Nux was no exception. Everyone in the room was thinking about what the Vampire Progenitor was thinking and what he was going to do now. Zylarith on the other hand, barely hid his smile. The Vampire might be strong, but he was still an immature child who was easy to fool. Even he couldn’t resist the thought of having absolute power in his hands. “Exactly, this is why I want Nux to-” Zylarith wanted to continue and use Azriel to pressure Nux into following his lead, however, “Huh? Where did this brat come from?” “Huh?” Zylarith froze. Azriel simply stared at Zylarith and narrowed his eyes, “You want me to rely on this brat on something so important?”
“No bu-” “Don’t be foolish. I will do everything on my own. I never trusted this brat from the beginning neither do I expect his help.”
Azriel declared.
His stance was clear, he wasn’t related to Nux and he was willing to keep it that way. A thought that completely went against what Zylarith wanted, “No, I know you are strong but you cannot mov-” “It doesn’t matter. I will find a way.”
Azriel cut him off once again. Nux simply stared at his future father-in-law and chuckled inwardly. The more he interacted with him, the more he was being influenced by him. The attitude of deciding everything on his own and completely disregarding everyone around him… Nux wanted to be like that as well…
If Faelara and the other Progenitors knew what Nux was thinking, they would instantly take Azriel away from this place and keep him far away from Nux. After all, one Azriel was already too much for them to bear, in no possible scenario do they want another one to appear. “You do not underst-” Zylarith didn’t give up. He couldn’t give up, he was holding his last straws right now, but…
“Why would you tell that to us?” Suddenly, Amaya interrupted him. “What do you mean?” Zylarith questioned with an annoyed tone. The woman simply had too many questions. He felt disrespected that a mere tool dared to question him time and time again, if only Nux didn’t value this tool so much… then he would have…
Zylarith momentarily closed his eyes and calmed down, now was not the time. Nux had devoured the System, a being capable of erasing his existence was right in front of him, he may not show it, but the very fact the Vampire Progenitor was here was enough for Zylarith to know that he valued Nux and these women. He couldn’t act recklessly here. “From the very start, the five Supreme Worlds wanted to take over the universe and hold absolute power, no? Then why reveal it to us? Why tell us that something like this was possible, especially when you know full well that we have the means to achieve what others couldn’t?
After all, you have no guarantee that we will help you once we fulfil our goal, now do you? Wouldn’t you feel bitter if we conquer the universe with the plan you came up, a tool you created, powers you gave us, and later throw you away?”
Amaya questioned and Zylarith stared at her with a deadpan look on his face. “Are you making fun of my situation?” Amaya tilted her head, feigning ignorance. “I only had the hold over the System and…” Zylarith spoke as he stared at Nux. “Now I can only guide you earnestly and hope you follow my plan and give me what I want. After all, what I am asking won’t be something that will be difficult for you once you have all the power.” “So you are willing to risk all the planning you did for billions of years just on the possibility that Nux will be impressed by your efforts and give you what you want?” Amaya questioned in a sceptical tone, obviously, she didn’t believe that a being older than most worlds in the universe was this simple. “It is not like I have a choice, now do I?” Zylarith answered helplessly as he shook his head. “Other than coming up with a scheme to manipulate people to do your bidding and later turn things around.” Amaya however, just narrowed her eyes and commented. “What do you mean?” Zylarith frowned, noticing the sudden change in the atmosphere, he looked around and noticed how everyone stared at him with eyes full of distrust. “We still cannot validate if everything you said is correct or not. We do not know if you are an enemy or a friend. We do not know if you plan to do something once everything goes according to your plan. After all, you did try to attack Nux before when he devoured the System. If it wasn’t for Lord Azriel, then who knows, we might already be dead today. One wouldn’t just kill someone who is a vital part of his plan, now would he?” Amaya questioned and with her few words, the sceptical looks he was receiving became stronger and stronger.
