“…”
Nux was silent.
Out of all the things he was expecting…
This made things much more complicated,
He wasn’t expecting to consider the situation where Faelara was lying to him.
‘Why?’
He frowned.
“What about the other Progenitors?”
Suddenly, Nux thought of a different possibility.
“I know what you are thinking.
Don’t bother.”
Azriel shook his head.
“All the Progenitors knew what Vulpheon did for me, along with mine, she saved their lives as well.
All of them owed her, so no, even in my absence, they wouldn’t make things difficult for Vulpheon children without a reason.”
“Yes, they didn’t do it.”
Suddenly, Aeliana stepped in as well.
Nux turned towards the Pseudo Leader of the Order and waited for her to continue,
“Memory magic was used.”
Aeliana revealed.
“Almost everyone in Yrniel was made to believe that the Foxes were part of Yrniel so that no one sees or treats them as aliens.
Even right now, not many know the truth.
I was also the same, when I was a child, I believed Foxes were part of Yrniel, it was only later when me and my subordinates discovered that they were in contact with otherworlders did the Progenitors revealed the truth.
I initially wanted to wipe the Foxes out since I thought they were Traitors of Yrniel, but the Progenitors stopped me.
Honestly, now that I think about it, the Progenitors have always been protecting the Foxes from the side.
They do it by saying they want to use them as grindstone, but…
If it wasn’t for them contacting the Otherworlders on their own, they would have already become a part of Yrniel.”
Aeliana explained.
If even the Psudo Leader didn’t know about the fact that the Foxes were otherworlders, then it was clear how far the Progenitors went just to make sure that they could blend in.
The Progenitors did everything they could in their power but in front of the Foxes, who were hell-bent on contacting the otherworlders, their efforts were all in vain.
Honestly, the very fact that the Foxes were still alive was enough to prove that the Progenitors were not against the people of Chronoxis at any point in their lives.
“…”
And Nux, who realized the truth, was silent.
“Brat.”
Suddenly, Azriel called out.
Nux turned towards him and Azriel continued,
“Go do your own thing, I will deal with this matter.”
“…?”
Nux frowned.
“Vulpheon had done quite a lot for me, her children are my responsibility, so even if they have been in contact with the enemies all this while, I will look into the matter myself and solve whatever problems that exist.”
“No.”
Nux shook his head.
“I will deal with this on my own.”
He spoke with a determined look on his face.
“Since I am already involved in it, I will see it through the end.”
He then looked at the two and,
“I shall take my leave then.”
“Are you going to visit the Dawnshade House?”
Aeliana questioned.
“I am.”
Nux nodded.
What was his solution to the problem he just encountered?
He would confront that woman directly.
“Be careful.”
Before Nux could go, Azriel warned.
Nux turned towards him with a frown.
He expected Azriel out of all the people here to be able to sense just how strong he had gotten, being careful didn’t matter to him anymore.
In Yrniel, not many beings could hurt him, especially if that particular force doesn’t belong to the Order, where the True monsters reside.
“The Foxes come from a Middle-Level World,
Even if their potential has been suppressed since they are now connected to Yrniel, they are still much stronger than what you expect.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of Primordials they have is close to what the Ancestral Order has.”
“!!!”
This time, the one who was shocked by this information was Aeliana.
“Primordials…?”
Till now, they had never heard a news of a Primordial appearing amongst the Foxes, this was also the reason why the Order never considered them to be a serious threat.
They were confident that even if they did pull something off, they would be able to take care of things even without the help of the Progenitors.
“Yes, Primordials, I am sure they have a few in their ranks.”
Azriel nodded.
“We do not have any information that confirms that.”
Aeliana frowned.
“They are a race that specializes in Space, little girl.
Do you think they wouldn’t be able to hide things if they wanted to?”
“…”
Aeliana was silent.
She wasn’t foolish enough to believe she was right all the time. Especially when the one standing in front of her was the strongest being in the Universe.
Being confident was one thing, but if you do not doubt yourself when such a being points out your flaws, then it’s not confidence, but arrogance.
“So be careful, brat.
I know you have gotten much stronger,
But facing a bunch of Primordials still isn’t something you can do.
So don’t forget,
You are going into the enemy territory, be as cautious as you can.”
“I understand.”
Nux nodded, then, he glanced at the father-daughter pair and stepped forward, disappearing from the place.
…
The next instant, he appeared right in the middle of a familiar Hall.
‘Just as I expected.
I was able to break through the defence barriers placed at this place.’
There weren’t many things that could stop Nux right now, after all, not just any barrier could block a being that carried the weight of an entire Universe.
“Why does it feel like you get more daring every time we meet?”
Suddenly, Nux heard a question echoing throughout the hall. It was clear that the speaker did not intend to reveal her location.
Nux however, stared in a certain direction and,
“Why did you do it?”
He questioned.
“Do what?”
“Why did you lie to me?
Why did you say that the Progenitors were using you when it was you who contacted the otherworlders first?
Why are you trying to blame the people who are trying to protect you?
Why are you trying to destroy the place that gave you a home when your own was destroyed?”
“…”
“…”
