As the ‘First, it is my duty to take care of all my sisters.
“Aisha is in danger.”
A solemn look appeared on Felberta’s face when she heard those words, Amaya continued,
“Allura is alright, she wasn’t there with us when we attacked these Worlds, but Aisha is different.
She was present in the World we devoured before.
She has a connection with Nux.
And she was often found next to Lane,
Mother, and other ‘targets’ in the Universe’s eyes.”
“So… what should we do? Should we let Nux sever Aisha’s connection first?”
Felberta questioned.
“It is too dangerous.”
Amaya shook her head.
“The Universe will instantly devour Allura if
something happens to Aisha.”
“Then what should we do?”
“What did Nux say?”
“He plans to devour all the Worlds and
form connections with all who are left at the same time.”
“It might put Yrniel in danger.”
Amaya spoke with a grave look on her face.
If all the Leanders disappear, then the only common connection left between them all would be their link to Yrniel.
That would give the Universe enough reason to go after one of its own creations.
After all, for the Universe, it wasn’t a big deal since if it devours Yrniel, it can always create it again. Yes, it would take time, but the Universe had all the time it needed.
It was a possibility Nux and the women couldn’t ignore. Even if they didn’t care about Yrniel, there were people there they didn’t wish to lose. Not to mention Yrniel in general was a place they had countless happy memories of, they didn’t wish for it to be destroyed.

The two women turned silent, both trying
to come up with a solution, until finally, “We need a diversion,” Amaya spoke.
“What?”
“We will make Nux devour more and more Worlds, but the women who hadn’t formed a connection with him yet wouldn’t be allowed to be with him anymore.
Then, we will make Nux form a connection
with beings who are not connected to
Yrniel.”
“Are you talking about… the
otherworlderers?”
“Yes.”
“So now you want women from entirely
different worlds and races becoming our
sisters?”
Felberta blinked a few times.
She didn’t expect Amaya, of all people, to
come up with such a solution.
Hearing Felberta’s words, Amaya bit her
lips in frustration.
She wanted to avoid this possibility at all
costs, right now, however, this was the
only way.
Nux could only form a connection with a
said being if he showed intense possessiveness and greed for them, something only possible if the said person
was one of his wives.
So for them to follow through with this
plan…
Nux had to fall in love with women from
other worlds.
In the end, to ease her mind, Amaya gritted
her teeth and,
“This was going to happen anyway, wasn’t
it?
So it doesn’t change anything.”
“I
guess you are right…”
Felberta nodded.
As the first wife, she of all people, couldn’t
agree more. Nux not attracting women was simply impossible.
Especially with him understanding his
greedy self, it was something that was indeed bound to happen,
But the question was, “Where are we going to find these women?
And you also want him to devour more
worlds since you want him to form so many connections, correct?
We got lucky in this sector of the Universe,
it won’t be the same everywhere.
How are we supposed to find so many
worlds?”
“Didn’t Aeliana talk about War between two
High-Level Worlds once,
What’s a better place to seek chaos and destruction than a War?
And I have also heard countless lower-level
worlds are also involved in this War, so I guess that fulfils what we want, no?” “We… are going to participate in the War?”
“It’s high time we start playing with the big fishes, no?
We should show them, that even if they are
‘big fishes’ we should show them that that
is just what they are,
Fishes, waiting that will eventually be caught in our nets.”
Amaya spoke with a light smile on her face;
just thinking about the possibility of
playing around with the beings of the
so-called High and Supreme Level Worlds excited her.
After all, it was high time beings sitting at the top comfortably started feeling the pressure, the nervousness, the fear of a being, who was coming for all of them.
It was high time the beings standing at the top realized that the number of days they
could keep their position were now
numbered.
“Amaya…”
While the Devourer thought of all this, Felberta called out.
“You should stop spending time with Vyriana and Astaria.”
The Eldraeth Progenitor spoke.
Amaya, however, just ignored her words and shrugged,
“Anyways, let’s follow the plan.”
“What plan? What am I supposed to do?”
“Well, for the starters, we need someone to
keep an eye on these words, we cannot stay here forever.
Other than the worlds I and Vyriana have conquered, we cannot let Nux devour the
rest of the worlds even after he returns since it would then lead to the Universe connecting the dots and targeting the one who attacked the world.
And joining the War, rising through the
ranks, and reaching the point where we are
allowed to devour the worlds, we win would take a long time, So till all of that happens, we need
someone to stay in these worlds and make
sure none of these beings devour them, of course, the said beings should also need to be trustworthy enough to not devour the world for themselves.”
“Do you have someone in mind?”
“What are you talking about?
We can just use the Dragon Slaves.” “But they are all Incomplete Divines…” “And they are all just mortals. The strongest you would find amongst them is only a Sage, even if he is somewhat Complete Cultivator according to their system, he is no match for a Divine.”
“They are not the problem, what if the worlds are attacked by some other force?” Felberta questioned.
“If that happens we just lose the world.” Amaya shrugged.
Felberta frowned in confusion and Amaya continued,
“Felberta, if this world’s state is known by
other forces, they will attack and try to take the world from us, yes. But as we are right now, we do not have
the power and means to stop that. you truly think we have the resources
Do
to station a force strong enough to tackle enemies who came with the confidence to conquer a World? And that too for an indefinite amount of time?
Not to mention there are seven in total
that we need to protect, putting such force in each of these worlds is simply impossible.
And I am not saying it just because I do not
want Aeliana’s help, even if we seek her
help and even if the Order has enough forces to help us out,
It is a foolish decision.
The Ancestral Order isn’t some backyard organization with a few hundred members, it is an organization that manages what should have been a Supreme Level World.
Even if Aeliana wants to help us, making the entire Ancestral Order move without getting anything in return isn’t viable.
Not to mention the while think can put a target on the Ancestral Order’s back and make Universe target Yrniel.
Felberta, we have the means to save ourselves from the Universe,
Yrniel and its people do not. One wrong step and Yrniel might fall.
We cannot move recklessly here.”
“So we just accept our loss and not do anything?”
“If we are attacked by an otherworldly
force, then yes. We will accept our loss and
not do anything.”
Amaya nodded.
Felberta stayed silent.
Clearly, she didn’t wish to give up on the Worlds they had conquered. After all, it still wasn’t clear how long would it take them
to conquer other worlds once they joined the War.
There were still many things they didn’t know, so it might take much longer than
they expected, and if that happens and Nux doesn’t get the chance to form a connection with his wives as soon as
possible,
Felberta knew he wouldn’t react well.
“Actually, a new force attacking us might
be a good news, it would help us shift the Universe attention to them, we can then attack their world and take it for ourselves
and since it would be us, the ones who have already formed connection with Nux doing it, the Universe wouldn’t be able to sense us and the disappearance of their world would remain a mystery.” Amaya smiled.
Felberta who thought of it that
way
smiled
a little as well.
“Anyways, ask the slaves to take over all the
worlds and tell all the women except Aisha
to return to Yrniel.”
Amaya ordered.
“What about Aisha?”
Felberta questioned with a curious look on
her face.
“Tell her to open [Core]’s Portal in that
World, tell Eisheth to prepare her forces
and
make them attack the World they are
in, then let Aisha devour that World.
Make it look like Aisha sought her mother’s
help to devour a World, this way, once that
world returns to the Universe, it would
have no reason to doubt Aisha anymore.”
“So we are giving up on one world?”
“Yes, for Aisha’s safety and Nux’s sanity,
We will be giving one world back to the Universe.”
Amaya nodded.
“Also, you need to watch over the entire
operation since the Universe cannot sense
you.”
“And what are you going to do?” Felberta questioned.
“I need to see my mother.”
Amaya spoke, her expression changing as
she thought about her mother’s condition.
“Alright, I’ll take care of the things here,
you should leave.”
“Thank you…
Amaya smiled a little.
“As
the ‘First’ it is my duty to take care of
all my sisters.”
Felberta chuckled as she waved her hands
and disappeared..
