Chapter 1614 Are you dumb? *Crack* The Magic Circle cracked and disappeared. Royce and others frowned and turned towards Felberta, the Progenitor, on the other hand, turned towards Nux, and Nux continued to look in the direction he was looking at before, It was as if he was waiting for someone to appear. *Crack* *Crack* And in the next second, the space cracked and Azriel stepped in with his signature annoyed look on his face. "Are you dumb?" Azriel questioned, looking right into Nux's eyes with a frustrated look on his face. Royce, Olivia and others couldn't believe what they were seeing. They didn't wish to brag, but Nux was the most influential being they knew, no being in this entire world dared to offend them just because they were close to him. To think that someone had the balls to talk to Nux in that tone… Royce couldn't help but shake his head, he was looking at the being who just appeared with pity. He had no clue who he was, nor did he care, he just knew this wasn't going to end well for him. But then, "What is it now?" Nux questioned back with a frown, completely ignoring the tone Azriel used. Honestly, he was already used to it. Nux firmly believed that this was his father-in-law's go-to face, so he wasn't bothered by it now. Which surprised Royce, however, when he saw his 'mothers', who should be looking as if they want to skin that man alive for talking to their husband like this, looking at Azriel with neutral looks on their faces, he understood that this man who just appeared was different. He was probably his father's friend. If Azriel knew what Royce was thinking, he would have thrown both Royce and then Nux into oblivion. "Do you not understand what 'not being connected to the universe' means?" Azriel questioned. Nux's frown deepened and seeing that, Azriel simply turned towards Felberta and, "He's a fool but shouldn't you be stopping him? Why are you the one doing this instead?" "Lord Azriel, we do not under-" Felberta wanted to calm the Vampire Progenitor down, but suddenly, "Right…" Nux's expression changed. "What? Has your brain finally started working?" Azriel questioned and this time, Nux couldn't say anything. He finally realized how foolish their actions were. "I apologize. I should have thought this through." He admitted his mistake. "Don't apologize to me, it wouldn't have changed anything for me other than attracting useless attention." "That attention includes the attention of the Supreme Worlds as well, you know?" Nux spoke with a provocative smile on his face, but then, "And?" Azriel questioned arrogantly. "Oh? You seem like you do not care if Supreme Worlds learns about your existence. Did you forget how you have been constantly hiding us from their eyes? Playing with those old fogies' curiousness, I am sure they are annoyed enough to launch a collective attack on you." Nux teased. "It doesn't matter. They can do whatever they want." Azriel shrugged. "Are you not scared?" "I would have hidden my face from the start if I was scared. I have no reason to be scared, If they come, it would only hasten their deaths." "I thought you wouldn't be able to take all 4 Supreme Worlds together." "I never said I couldn't do it." Azriel shrugged. "Then why didn't you destroy the 4 of them and take over the universe already?" Nux questioned. He wanted to call out Azriel's bluff but… "Taking them on and destroying them are two different things. They are known as Supreme Worlds for a reason, yes, I can take them on even if all four of them come at me together but destroying them is a completely different thing. I am sure all of them are hiding strong trump cards that no one else is ready for and when pushed to the edges, they will use those hidden cards. I am not sure if I will be able to protect Yrniel if they use their hidden cards, and this is why I am not attacking them yet." Azriel answered and suddenly, Nux realized something. This man standing in front of him… 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮 He might be even stronger than what he imagined. Till now, Nux had only been taking his soul father's words for it, He had been judging Azriel with just his soul father's words, completely ignoring the fact that it was just that, empty words, guesses, or predictions. It wasn't accurate. That so-called father of his didn't know anything. Heck, he didn't even know about the existence of Yrniel till Nux reached the Saint Stage, he only 'saw' Azriel one time and all that he 'knew' about him was only based on the fact that Azriel was favoured by Yrniel, the incarnation of a Supreme World. He had no idea about Azriel's personal achievements, no, none of them had any idea about Azriel's personal achievements. None of them actually knew how strong this monster actually was. Just thinking about all this made Nux silent. He couldn't 'call out' Azriel's 'Bluff' any longer. "Nux…" And while Nux was busy pondering over this matter, Felberta called out. Nux turned towards her and, "Are you going to explain…?" Felberta questioned. This was related to her son, so the fact that something that shouldn't have happened was going to happen and they were this close to making a mistake, it worried Felberta. She needed to know what happened. "We do not exist in the Universe's eyes, Felberta." Nux answered. Felberta nodded. "This means the Eldraeth Progenitors don't exist in the Universe's eyes." "Yes, I under-" Suddenly, Felberta froze and Nux nodded. "If a Progenitor doesn't exist, how was another member of the said race born? If we had turned Royce into Eldraeth, not only would it not have alerted the Universe, but there was even the risk of the Supreme Worlds finding the link between the new Eldraeth that shouldn't exist and Yrniel, making them target us and eventually find out about our existence. Our actions would have brought Yrniel's destruction." Then, Nux turned towards Azriel, and just for the sake of earning some points in his father-in-law's eyes, he continued, "Or, the destruction of 4 Supreme Worlds."
