11 more Worlds.
“He succeeded.”
Felberta revealed the good news.
As someone who could feel Nux’s immense happiness because of their connection, she could easily predict what happened.
“Tsk.”
This time, the one who snorted was Thyra.
Clearly, the cat woman wanted to be in Vyriana’s place.
The rest of the women shared her thoughts.
And while all the women were jealous, the one who actually had the title when it
came to jealousy was staring at Aeliana and,
“So you trapped us using your powers and also slowed down time so that we wouldn’t realize how much time had passed.”
Amaya spoke.
She didn’t touch this matter before because they had more important matters
to deal with, however, this didn’t mean she was going to drop this.
After all, she was kept away from her husband while he was in pain for 15 years
and she didn’t even know it.
There is no way Amaya was going to forget that.
Aeliana however, didn’t seem too worried, she simply shrugged and,
“Don’t act like you wouldn’t act like a crazy bunch if he hadn’t returned for 15 years and you would be able to leave this place.
Look at what you did to that poor man in 15 hours,
What would have happened in 15 whole years?
I cannot even imagine that.”
Aeliana then shook her head and,
“I did what I believed was best and I do not
regret my
decision.”
“You are abusing your Power.”
Riona spoke as she narrowed her eyes as
well.
Just like her daughter, she didn’t like being away from her husband without her
knowledge either.
It wasn’t just the two of them, the rest of the wives, including Vyriana, who currently wasn’t here were the same.
But,
“I am quite used to doing it ever since I was
born,”
Aeliana wasn’t backing down and there was
nothing the women could do about it.
The Vampire was simply that strong.
“Master…”
The only one who could somewhat affect
Aeliana was Melia, but even for her,
Aeliana’s answer didn’t change.
“I wouldn’t harm you or your sisters, Melia.
I have no reason to do that.
But when I am here with you, I will take
decisions in my hands and will choose what will keep you lot safe and sane at the same
time.”
Aeliana then glanced at Amaya and,
“You people aren’t exactly known for
calm and understanding nature.
your
I wasn’t in the position to take needless
risks.”
Amaya looked away when she heard those
words.
Even she couldn’t deny what Aeliana said
and honestly… if it was up to her, then she might have done the same thing as well. She just didn’t like how it was done to her but that was just how human emotions
worked.
“What is your Law anyway?”
Astaria, on the other hand, had a different
question in her mind.
She had been curious about this for a long time now, the strongest Primordial, the Leader of Ancestral Order, the daughter of
the Strongest Being in the entire Universe, Aeliana had too many titles that would make anyone curious about her, Astaria
was no different.
when
Her curiousness, however, shot up her master didn’t even bother trying to
resist her powers and simply gave in.
It wasn’t something one would usually see Vyriana do.
So Astaria wanted to know.
What was it that her master was so wary
of?
And the instant she raised this question,
the rest of the women stared at Aeliana as
well.
“Yes, you have been keeping an eye on us
for a long time, so you already know how our powers work,
It isn’t fair that we do not know anything about you.”
Amaya spoke and the rest of the women
nodded.
Of course, Amaya’s aim when she said this was completely different.
She couldn’t care less about Aeliana’s powers or her Law, she just didn’t like how
Nux knew it and she didn’t, she felt like this was some sort of secret between her husband and this woman that she wasn’t
confided in, so she wanted it to not remain a secret anymore.
Aeliana stared at the women in front of
her.
Her Law wasn’t exactly a secret, so she didn’t bother hiding it either,
“My Law is Law of Absolute Control.”
She answered.
“Absolute Control…?”
Astaria tilted her head.
“Yes, be it Elements, Matter, Bodies, Minds,
Space, Time, Emotions, or even Reality,
I can control it all.”
It was the shortest summary of one’s Law
the women had heard till now, but the more they thought about the words Aeliana
just said, the more horrifying it became. Being able to control every single element
alone was an ability one would envy,
But…
To include all other things this woman just mentioned…
Wasn’t all this…
A little too ridiculous!?
Just take Melia for example,
The woman’s Law was the Law of the Blood
Sovereignty, it essentially meant the
woman had complete control over Blood.
A single element.
Yes, her Law had further usage that makes
it much stronger than what it sounds like.
But the fact that Aeliana could control Blood just like Melia, and do other things as well…
It was frightening.
How was this woman any different than her
father!?
Just where did this family even come
from!?
Nux’s wives couldn’t believe it.
At the same time, they also understood
why Vyriana and even Nux respected Aeliana so much.
She was strong.
Absurdly strong. “So when you trapped us in this world…
you used your powers to control our bodies?”
Astaria questioned.
She wanted to know more about Aeliana’s
Law.
“No.” Aeliana shook her head.
“If I had done that, you wouldn’t have been
able to move. I can already imagine how
you
lot would react if I had done that.”
Aeliana spoke as she momentarily glanced
at Amaya, who just narrowed her eyes, not
liking how she was being pointed out again. “What I did was that I controlled the reality to temporarily connect you with this world. Then, I made your bodies weak to gravity and strengthened this World’s gravity to make sure you wouldn’t be able to leave.
I also made it so that your bodies would lose all its powers if you tried to use too much strength.
Then I created a space barrier all around
this world, this would not only protect you in case some other being appears and attack you, it also slowed down time inside
the barrier, making it so that you wouldn’t have to wait for long.” Aeliana explained. “What about Selvith? What did you do to
him?”
“Selvith?”
Aeliana frowned, soon however, she
recalled the Primordial of this world and,
“Ah, I did the same thing to him, just that I weakened his body much further than I did yours. You could pretty much do whatever else you wanted if you didn’t try to fly and leave this world and for him, I made it such
that he wouldn’t even be able to stand up, let alone use his powers. Again, I cannot risk your safety, especially
after I promised Nux that I would deal with
him.”
“And
you
did all of this… while you were talking to us…?”
“I am a Primordial Stage Cultivator, Astaria,
I have a much easier time using my Law
compared to Divines.”
“He is a Primordial as well…”
Astaria spoke with an innocent look on her
face.
Aeliana then simply pointed at the dead bodies lying far away and,
“They are Divines as well.”
||
And Astaria couldn’t say anything else.
“Absolute Control… I can already imagine
countless ways you can use your Law in…” Astaria commented.
“It is a versatile Law, I agree.” Aeliana didn’t hide it either.
It wasn’t her first time being
complimented, after all. “Law of Absolute Control gives me nigh
perfect attack, defence and ability to battle
against a large number of enemies, it has almost no weaknesses.”
Astaria looked down and started thinking.
“Of course, your Law isn’t any weaker.
Sure, it might have its flaws since it isn’t
good for defence, but it compensates with
its attacking potential,
While my Law is more balanced, yours has
the potential to be the sharpest, penetrating through the strongest of
shields.”
“I understand.”
Astaria nodded.
She wasn’t having second doubts or something like that.
She already knew there were countless
beings stronger than her in this world, so
learning about Aeliana’s Law only made her
more excited for the future.
After all, she would like nothing more than
to get stronger and then one day surpass
this Vampire. A feeling all the women present here shared.
“Oh? You all look motivated.”
Suddenly, the women heard a voice and
their expressions brightened up.
“Nux!”
Skyla was quick to rush towards him.
“Was it a success?” Amaya questioned.
Nux chuckled.
“Do you really need to ask?”
He had a big smile on his face.
The very fact that Vyriana allowed Skyla to
hug Nux when it was her ‘turn’ was enough
to tell the answer.
“So? Do you understand how it works? Can
you form more connections? Or would you
need more space to form more connections?”
Aeliana questioned as well.
Nux turned towards her and nodded,
“I believe I can only absorb one Law per
world,
So if I want to form a connection with all of
them,
I need to devour 11 more Worlds.”
