It was one momentary mistake. His wife was crying, he had gained new powers, the rest of his wives were worried as well. He had to not only test his new powers but first and foremost, he needed to reassure his crying wife, then he needed to reassure the rest of his wives, there were too many things in his mind, his thoughts were distracted. And because of that, making a small mistake was completely normal. Anyone could have made such a mistake. However, A mistake was still a mistake. No matter how ‘common’ it was, no matter what circumstances or situations led to it, you cannot possibly leave a dangerous beast with unknown powers without a leash, a mistake like that was lethal. Especially in this case, where this mistake could affect what Nux cared about the most. His wife. And not just any wife, His first wife. Felberta, who was resting in Nux’s embrace was completely unaware of it. Even with her understanding of the universe and calculative mind, she was unable to predict such a thing. After all, she was up against something that constantly moulded the Laws to suit its needs. It did something usually considered impossible, an anomaly that couldn’t be understood, neither could it be predicted. Felberta had given 49% of her Blood Essence, the Blood Essence that the Black Hole took and later returned it to Nux. It was an uncommon pattern. Just like Nux, the Black Hole was greedy, honestly, it could even be called Nux’s manifestation when it comes to Greed. The Black Hole never ‘gave’ anything, it always devoured things. Of course, its relationship with Nux was special so Nux could use what it had devoured, but in the end, the Black Hole still didn’t actively give anything to Nux. It was something that should have already alerted Nux. After all, if there was one difference between Nux and the Black Hole inside him when it came to greed, It was the exceptions.
Nux’s greed had exceptions, his wives were the exceptions, if it is something his wives have and he cannot have it, he would never want it, that was just how he was, for him, his wives were always a priority, that never changed. Honestly, it was a form of a greed as well. Greed of always wanting the best for him and his wives. However, the Black Hole had no such exceptions. If it wanted something, it would get it. Now whether that was the Universal Energy that was like poison to other cultivators or… a Progenitor’s Blood. 49% could never cut it. The Black Hole would never be satisfied with just 49%, it wanted it all. And who had what it wanted? That woman was sitting right in front of it, completely defenceless.
And right now, it had no leashes holding it back. It was the perfect opportunity, And the Beast took it. *BOOOOOM* An explosion occurred inside Nux’s body and before he could understand what happened, his eyes widened in horror and, “NOO-” He shouted at the top of his lungs, pushing Felberta away in the process, he also rereleased the leash, trying to get the Black Hole back in his control, however,
It was already too late. “Nux…?” Felberta frowned in confusion. She didn’t show it before, but right now, Felberta was extremely weakened. After all, she had pretty much given half of her ‘self’ to Nux. Her Blood was extremely weakened right now, and she was the same. Even Azriel, when he gave 40% of his Blood Essence to his wives felt the same, of course, in his case, he gave 40% of his Blood Essence to two of his wives, so that was a total of 80%, more than what he could have given according to the Universe’s rules. However, in Azriel’s case, he had one advantage, something that allowed him to unknowingly avoid the Universe’s punishment and even detection. He was connected with Yrniel. So when he used his Blood Essence on beings that were born in Yrniel, aka his wives, Yrniel helped him suppress the matter, and despite not having 80% of his Blood Essence, it allowed him to use 100% of his power through its own energy. This is also the reason Azriel’s connection with Yrniel is so strong. It wasn’t just Yrniel that was dependent on Azriel, the Vampire Progenitor was the same. Of course, as Azriel grew stronger and started understanding things, his reliance on Yrniel started decreasing and reached the point where he could use Yrniel’s Power as if it was his own, even having more authority over it than Yrniel itself, the fact that Yrniel was a vital part of his strength still didn’t change.
Felberta, however, didn’t have a similar option. Azriel had Yrniel to support him, but Felberta didn’t. So in her weakened state, she couldn’t understand what happened. Suddenly, Her body trembled. “!!!” Felberta widened her eyes in horror when she noticed her Blood Essence reacting. Suddenly, a familiar silver-coloured blood drop came out of Felberta’s chest. Felberta couldn’t even blink, she was shellshocked. In an instant, she recognized what this was. It was her Blood Essence! And this time, it was all 51% of the Blood Essence she was left with. It was the inheritance she had received, it was not different from her life node. Something that should never leave her body!
Felberta tried to control it, trying to put it back in her body, however, the moment she did, she realized her connection with her own blood was lost. She had no control over it whatsoever. “W-What…?” She stuttered, but suddenly, her Blood started moving towards Nux’s body and the next second, it disappeared into oblivion. It was devoured. “Nux…” Felberta’s body trembled. As someone who understood the rules of the universe, she understood what it meant. A Progenitor who lost all her Blood Essence, the node of her life, only one fate waited her. Death. Progenitors were beings who were closely related to the Universe, it always kept a special eye on these beings, so the instant a Progenitor loses his Blood Essence, The natural cycle begins. The cycle that starts with the Progenitor’s return to the Universe. “Nux…” Felberta called out again. This time, with a light smile on her face. She could feel a strange power enveloping her body, a power completely opposite to her power of creation. Felberta embraced Nux for one last time, in an instant, her racing heart calmed down. “I made a mistake when I gave my Blood to you, I accidentally gave you more than 50% of my blood, the Universe thought that I was trying to give birth to a second Progenitor, so for going against its rules, it is going to devour me.
So take the rest of the Blood I have, Become the Eldraeth Progenitor, Become stronger, then become the strongest, And once you do, revive me in the future, I will be waiting…”
