Because that right only belongs to me.
“Anyways, are they all of them?” Nux questioned, preparing to use his Law.
“Yes, here’s the list and the reason why
they were selected,”
Eisheth spoke as she passed the list to Nux.
“Hmm? I don’t really car-”
Nux was about to reply, however, seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Eisheth’s face, he grabbed the list and the first thing he read on the list changed his expression.
“Hmm? What happened, my son-in-law?” Eisheth questioned with a demonic smile on her face.
And Nux, who continued to read the list in silence waited, and once he was done reading,
“So that’s how you are going to play eh?”
“What are you talking about? I am only trying to save people ‘close’ to me. People
without whom I cannot live.”
Eisheth replied, her smile widening with every word she spoke.
She wanted to see how Nux would react. He had been teasing her all this while, it was finally her turn. She was expecting to see him get annoyed and irritated and even burn the list in his hand to express his anger, but suddenly,
Nux smiled.
“Is that so…”
With his face distorted, he glanced at his
mother-in-law and,
“So you want me to save them, correct?”
“Will you do it for my sake, my
son-in-law?” Eisheth tilted her head with a
pleading look on her face.
Aisha, who saw her mother act like this
wanted to facepalm.
Her mother was still not used to the shift
in the dynamic, Nux wasn’t the Nux of the past, he wasn’t the prey she could play with anytime she wanted anymore, and… she wasn’t the predator anymore.
This time, the one playing with fire wasn’t
Nux,
It was Eisheth.
And…
The consequences of playing with fire are
never good.
“Of course, don’t worry, my dear
Mother-in-law. For your sake, I would
absolutely do what you want.”
Nux replied.
Then, he turned towards the people
standing below him and suddenly, a drop of blood releasing unimaginable amount of
power came out of his body.
*Thunder* *Thunder*
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Yrniel reacted, in its already unstable
Mana, for something containing so much energy to occur… it didn’t like that.
However, there was nothing it could do,
and Nux didn’t bother with it either, his Blooddrop just divided into pieces before rushing towards every person standing on the ground.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
In an instant, more than 100 cultivators, irrespective of their cultivation level, all broke through and became Saints.
“W-What…?”
“I-Is this real…?”
“How i-is this…?”
Of course, their reactions were anything
but normal, most of them still believed that they were dreaming and that this wasn’t
real.
Even when they were summoned here
because the Queen wanted to ‘help them
cultivate’, none of them were very optimistic about it, and why would they
be? They have been unable to cultivate for the past few hundred years!
Heck, some of their close ones have even
died because they couldn’t cultivate and their lifespan ended.
None of them came here with high expectations, but this…
To think even a Sage, who was invited
because of the loyalty she had shown to the State her entire life was now a Saint…
“T-This is the work of God…”
Nobody knew who said this, but the instant these words were spoken,
“God…”
“God…”
Like undeads, all the beings turned
towards Nux and started muttering the same thing. The devotion in their eyes was
unreal.
However,
Nux was no God.
He was far from a God.
“Eisheth Lust.”
The ‘God’ called out.
The Demon Queen turned towards him
and,
“You forced me to do it, okay?”
“What?’ Eisheth frowned.
But suddenly, Nux’s golden eyes turned
into a mixture of red and purple, then he stared at the people standing below him and,
“People of the Lust State,
I will only say one thing, so listen carefully.
You are all here because your Queen chose you.
You are alive because your Queen wanted you to be alive.
Your lives are not yours anymore, it now belongs to your Queen.
Do not betray the trust she has shown in
you,
Be loyal to her,
However,
Keep one thing in your mind,
You can only be Loyal to her, you are only Loyal Subordinates,
Your Queen belongs to me,
So the moment your mind has even the
slightest of unnecessary thoughts about your Queen, ‘my’ Queen,
Your end will be worse than you will just
see.”
The moment Nux spoke these words, his purple-red eyes shined brightly and, “AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
All the beings standing below him
screamed in agony.
Eisheth, who saw this scene widened her eyes in horror.
“Nux!! What are you doing!?”
She questioned out loud.
Nux however, completely ignored her, the
beings below him continued to smile, then
his eyes,
then the red in his eyes that was mostly dominated by purple strengthened,
and started showing brightly, “Every time you have any unnecessary thoughts about My Queen, you will
remember this sight and tremble in agony. Of course, the brave ones can definitely try
and resist this illusion and still approach her,
But just know,
If you do that,
What you will see in the future will be far
worse than what you are seeing right now,
And that time,
It won’t just be an illusion,
It will be the reality.” Saying those words, Nux waved his hands
as he then closed his eyes. The people below all fell on their knees, most of them
passed out while the few who were left with their consequences stared at Nux with a look of pure dread and horror. Nux however, completely ignored their presence as he then turned towards
Eisheth, his eyes turning back to their original colour.
“W-What did you
do?”
Eisheth questioned.
“Hmm?
Nothing, I just showed them their deaths in
the cruellest way they could imagine, and I
made them experience the same thing for a hundred years.
Then I used Charm to force their mind to
recall
the same sight every time they even think of having any useless thoughts regarding you. So, from now on,
None of these people would be looking at
you with an impure gaze let alone be brave enough to spend ‘time’ with you.’ Nux then grabbed Eisheth’s hands as his
golden eyes turned darker and darker and, “Because that right only belongs to me.”.
