“I only know what they want from us.”
“What is it?”
Nux questioned.
“They want us to find out about the secret weapon Yrniel’s hiding.”
“Secret Weapon?”
Nux frowned.
“Yes.
Just think about it,
Tens of thousands of years have passed, more than a few generations of my ancestors have worked as spies for these worlds, even if it usually takes time to take over a World since both sides want to keep the damage to the minimum.
Don’t you think it is strange that Yrniel survives to this day?”
Nux stared at Faelara with a neutral look on his face, waiting for the woman to continue.
“Yrniel is much stronger than you expect, Nux.
Yes, the Progenitors of this World are strong, ridiculously so, but it has something that goes beyond the Progenitors,
An Artifact so strong that it is capable of eradicating the existence of all enemies without even letting them know what happened, enemies who, in theory, should have been able to defeat even the Yrniel Progenitors.
Yrniel has an Artifact that strong, their secret weapon.”
“What…?”
Nux could only stare at the Fox with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“You think those Worlds haven’t tried to attack Yrniel even once all this time?
Yes, the first few attacks failed because the Ancestral Order and its Leader were stronger than expected,
When they were about to defeat her, the Progenitors appeared, and when an army strong enough to defeat even the Progenitors was sent…
Well, that army disappeared before they could even get close to Yrniel.
And it didn’t happen once or twice; it happened every time an army strong enough to take on the progenitors was sent.
What makes the otherworlders even furious is the fact that they know nothing about this weapon.
What restrictions does it have?
Just exactly how strong is it?
What is its cooldown time?
What is the cost to activate it?
They know nothing.
And for generations, they have ordered our family to find out about this, however, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t even get close to the secret.
Even after having our members infiltrate the Order, nothing work.
The Ancestral Order is simply too secretive about this, even most of their own members do not know about this.
We thought we would find out about this weapon if it was used in front of us, at the very least, we would get some insight into it, so they sent another army and told us to keep an eye on the Order’s movement,
But once again, the weapon was activated and we didn’t find out anything.
The only thing we know is that every time that weapon is activated, all of us lost our consciousness. It is as if the weapon itself has intelligence and is making sure no one finds out about its existence.
That weapon is also the reason why these beings hadn’t given up on Yrniel even after so much time has passed.
After all, the instant they got their hands on this weapon, their strengths would soar to an entirely different level.”
“…”
As Faelara answered his question, Nux stared at the woman in silence.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
Honestly, thinking about it in one way, all of this made sense. Not many in the World knew about Azriel’s existence, so for the otherworlders to think that Yrniel has a ‘secret weapon’ that it uses to protect itself made perfect sense.
After all, no one with a sane mind would think that the weapon they are so scared of would be a living being who is just asleep and only wakes up whenever his world is in danger.
Honestly, if the existence of such a being living in Yrniel is revealed, the opponents would simply give up.
Right now, they could still have hopes like the weapon having limited uses, a certain cooldown time, or having a resource requirement that cannot be easily filled, if they find out this ‘weapon’ was barely using any of its power, has no cooldown nor resource requirement…
Not to mention the fact that the ‘weapon’ was very much capable of simply destroying their world within seconds…
If they knew any of it… if the otherworlders had the information they were so desperate to get…
This long War would have already ended.
‘To think that they are so out of the loop…’
Nux thought to himself and as if reading his expression, Faelara frowned,
“What is it?”
“Hmm?”
“What are you thinking about?” Faelara questioned.
“Uhh… nothing…
I was just thinking about the ‘secret weapon’ you told me about,
Lady Faustina didn’t tell me anything about it.”
Nux shook his head.
For now, he decided not to reveal Azriel’s existence to Faelara.
Sure, if the enemies knew about him, it might end the War, but at the same time, it could also lead to this news leaking out and eventually reaching the Supreme Worlds.
Right now, using the otherworlder’s greed and letting things continue as they are is the only option to ensure Yrniel’s safety.
As for the Foxes…
Nux decided to take the matter into his own hands,
“So what do you know about these otherworlders? Even if you do not know how strong they are, you should still know something, correct?
Give me anything to start with, I will figure out the rest on my own.
It would be great if you could tell me about the people who have your and your people’s lives in their hands, once we get rid of them, our problem is solved.”
“I do know about the World my Ancestors contacted at the beginning,
People of those worlds should still be connected with all the other worlds involved, especially the ones who formed the contract with us and now have power over our lives.”
“Tell me.”
“A Low-Level World, Sylveris and here are the coordinates of that world if you need them.”
Faelara spoke as she passed an orb towards Nux.
Nux nodded, storing the orb in his storage ring,
“Alright, I will look into it and get back to you.”
He replied.
“Are you leaving?”
Faelara suddenly questioned.
“Is there anything else you want?”
“…I have a request.”
Faelara spoke after a momentary hesitation.
“What is it?” Nux questioned.
“Take my daughter with you.”
“Huh…?”
