Chapter 1568 You can't even join the competition unless… "What do you mean?" Azriel frowned. "I never needed those memories to make your daughter mine. She said she didn't want to forget me, so I took her memories to fulfil her wish, I will only use those memories once I make her mine." Azriel narrowed his eyes when he said those words. He ignored everything that Nux said and only focused on one part, "Don't call her yours." But Nux wasn't intimidated, rather, his smile widened and, "Again, you have no right to decide that." "Neither do you." "Of course, it is her decision. So don't you try and intervene when your daughter readily becomes mine." Azriel's face twitched, Nux chuckled, liking the look on the strongest being's face, then, "Anyways, can you bring my wives back now? I have some important things to do." "Important things?" "Why do you need all the details? Just give me my wives back will you? It is some 'personal' stuff." Azriel narrowed his eyes, he clearly knew what this 'personal stuff' was and he didn't like it one bit. He didn't care about other women, but knowing that this pervert was aiming for his daughter made his heart churn. What's worse was that there was nothing he could do to stop him, after all, he couldn't control his daughter's life. It was up to Aeliana and… Who was he kidding? Deep inside, Azriel already knew how this was going to end up. This bastard was able to get close to Aeliana for almost every single life, and all those times, he wasn't even trying, he only realized his greed and desire for Aeliana at the very end of the Illusion. Nux was able to charm Aeliana without even trying, then what if he was actually trying? Even a fool could tell how this would end up. And it wasn't like this was a bad thing, what parent didn't want the best for their child? Azriel was the same, he had seen how much Aeliana changed in the Illusion every time she got close to Nux. And Nux himself wasn't bad either. When it came to looks, he was second to none. His talent was so frightening that even the Universe reacted to it, something even Azriel hadn't achieved. With just one of these, he could pretty much get any woman he wanted, but these are all secondary, Azriel never once cared about these things. Sure, he wanted his son-in-law to be better than anyone in this world, But what he looked for the most from a perspective son in law was his ability to keep his daughter happy, And unfortunately, this bastard excelled in that. Nux knew how to treat his women, his unhealthy obsession for his wives, his willingness to do anything for their sake, Azriel knew well enough that it wasn't something common. Especially when one's love is tested through time, even the strongest love fades away yet Nux stood still. Even after a million years, his obsession for his wives didn't fade away, it only got stronger and stronger. If Aeliana was subjected to such obsessive love, it would be hard for her to reject it especially since she was weak to pure affection. Azriel already knew Nux would succeed, he even knew that Nux was probably the best choice for his daughter, but despite all that… He just didn't want this arrogant man to get close to his daughter. 'Tsk.' In the end, Azriel snorted. Then, he waved his hand and, "Go away." He spoke and instead of bringing his wives back, he sent Nux to his wives. Of course, he also brought Aeliana back, making sure that the two don't meet. "Father?" Aeliana frowned. Just now, she was together with Nux's wives and was talking to Vyriana. Then she disappeared and appeared here. "Shall we return?" Azriel questioned with a light smile on his face, completely ignoring the confused look on his daughter's face. Seeing that Azriel didn't wish to answer, Aeliana dropped the topic as well, "Should we?" However, this didn't mean Aeliana was going to ignore everything. Zylarith's appearance was something she knew she couldn't be involved with, at least for now, after all, she had to consider the Ancestral Order and Yrniel's overall strength before making any decision, And in no way, did Yrniel stand a chance against these Supreme Worlds and their ploy, it was better to watch everything from the sidelines, but there were still some issues she couldn't ignore, "Are you not going to do anything about it?" Aeliana questioned. "They are already on it," Azriel replied. He already knew what Aeliana was talking about. "They are, but I am sure your presence will be valuable. I believe they deserve an explanation as well." "They already know everything." "They do not." Aeliana shook her head. "You decided everything on your own, Father. They just acted like they understood you, But none of them do. None of them could because you didn't say anything." Aeliana spoke with a solemn look on her face. Azriel stared at his daughter, then, he sighed, "Alright, let's go." Saying those words, Azriel waved his hand again and the two of them appeared in a completely desolate, dead land with cracks and debris all over the place. "You are here." Faustina, who saw Azriel and Aeliana called out. "Is it still not done?" Azriel questioned. "We can't just create Earth using our abilities, Yrniel's very core is damaged, we need to first fix that before we work on this place." One of the Dwarven Progenitor replied. Yes, this desolate, dead land was Yrniel. The United Continent, to be more precise. Half of the largest continent of Yrniel was completely destroyed. It happened when Azriel left Yrniel in order to protect Nux. Yes, in just a few seconds that it took, almost a tenth of Yrniel became completely lifeless. This is what Azriel meant when he said he was bound to Yrniel, Yrniel cannot function without him whatsoever. If he had stayed there for a few more seconds, Yrniel would have been completely destroyed and countless lives would have been lost. "How's the damage?" Aeliana questioned. She wanted a thorough report, but for now, the Progenitors stopped her from getting her subordinates involved in this mess, after all, they needed to find an excuse as to why something like this happened. "Other than financial losses, almost 50 million people are dead, 10 out of them were Divine Stage Cultivators." "…" Aeliana turned silent. To think that even Divines failed to resist the catastrophe, it just showed how important her father was. She turned towards her father and saw him staring in a random direction with a neutral look on his face. Sensing his gaze, Azriel turned towards his daughter, then, he shrugged, "Don't think too much about this, I will find a way to deal with this issue." Aeliana nodded and once again, Azriel started looking in a random direction. If it was before, he could have used Yrniel's Energy to revive the dead land, it would have been done in a matter of seconds, but right now, Yrniel's energy was a mess, so it couldn't be used. "How much time will it take?" Azriel questioned. "Around 2 months." Azriel nodded. "Father." Aeliana called out. "Don't you think you should say something now?" Azriel momentarily paused, then, he glanced at all the Progenitors and, "Thank you for believing in me all this while." The Progenitors blinked in surprise, unable to believe what they had just heard, "You stuck by me without even knowing the complete story and took care of my daughter as if she were your own, I couldn't be more grateful. I do not know how I can make it up to you for everything you did, but I believe I owe you guys an explanation, So if any of you have any questions, Please ask." The Progenitors turned silent and glanced at each other, then, a round of questions and answers started. What happened in the past, the real reason why Azriel suddenly decided to sleep, the reason why Azriel hadn't taken revenge till this day despite loving his wives more than anything, More and more questions were asked and Azriel answered them all. Then, Dagahra looked into his friend's eyes and, "What now?" The Dragon Progenitor questioned. "What are you going to do now?" "I will break the connection I have with Yrniel." "What…?" The Progenitors were surprised. "I want to rise to the top of the universe, and for that, I need my freedom." "…the top of the universe huh." Dagahra muttered. "Do you think I can help you with that?" He questioned with a curious look on his face. Clearly, the Dragon Progenitor was very interested in it, however… 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 "You are too weak." Azriel's reply was cold-hearted. "How weak?" "You lost to that child, Dagahra. You and the others have fallen behind, You can't even join the competition unless…" "Unless…?" "Unless you reincarnate, Like I did." Azriel spoke, his red eyes shining brightly. Yes, Azriel Ruinous was now planning to create his own army of elites.
