Chapter 1952 Are you saying… that my father is becoming what Shadow is to Nux…? "She is the best gift someone has ever given to me." The Seer, however, smiled at those words. "That will change very soon. After all, She is only the second of the three gifts I have prepared for you." "…" Nux blinked for a moment. Then, he stared at the woman in front of him and, "You do know that I do not consider my wives as my gifts, correct? So if you plan on presenting yourself to me as a gift, it won't count." "…" For the first time since she appeared, the Seer's mouth twitched. She knew the shameless bastard would say such a thing. She knew it… Yet… It was still annoying. In the end, she just held herself back and, "My third gift is not me. You would need to put in a lot of work for that, Nux Leander. I am not a gift. I am a trophy." "Heh, if the feminists heard you say that…" Nux chuckled at his own joke as he shook his head. The Seer just shook her head. "Take care of her." The Seer spoke as she pointed at Bloodedge. "I will." Nux nodded. "I hope we meet soon, Nux." "You can come—" Before Nux could complete his words, the woman disappeared from his vision. He sensed the space around him and couldn't detect her, even when he expanded his senses to their limit. A frown appeared on his face before he finally realized it. 'She slowed me down and went away so I wouldn't be able to trace her… Her powers are just absurd.' He shook his head, sensing goosebumps all over his body. "Nux? What is that sword?" Then suddenly, he heard a question. He turned around and saw Aeliana and the others looking at him with frowns on their faces. "That bitch was here, wasn't she?" Amaya quickly connected the dots. "The Seer…" Aeliana's face turned grim. "That woman was here?" Faustina blinked her eyes. "When?" "We wouldn't know." Aeliana answered. "She slowed the time around us, conversed with him, and returned. For us, barely a millisecond would have passed." "Huh? What sort of power is that…?" The Progenitors blinked in horror. "Welcome to the Universe." Allura chuckled playfully. "And what is that sword?" Vyriana questioned. "A Relic." Nux answered. "A Relic?" Vyriana raised her eyebrow, trying to reach for Bloodedge. Nux, however, shook his head. "You wouldn't be able to wield her." "Her…?" And of course, Amaya raised her eyebrows at those words. "Come on, she is just a sword." "So why is she a she?" "I told you before, didn't I? Relics have consciousness. She is the same." "Yes, but why is her consciousness a she?" Amaya questioned, appearing right in front of Nux as she leaned forward, staring at Bloodedge. Of course, everyone here was used to her antics. What surprised them the most was that… Aeliana was doing the same. The poor sword was being stared at by two crazy women who seemed like they were ready to destroy her. Nux very quickly stored her back into his storage ring as he then gained everyone's attention. "Alright, that's enough playing around. It is time we get serious." "What did… the Seer say?" Aeliana questioned. Her tone showed her hesitation. After all, just like Nux, she had mixed feelings regarding the woman. "She said that she did all this on purpose. She knew Lord Azriel would survive. She told me that he was bound to become the Universe's Child. She just hastened that process." "You seem to believe her now." Amaya narrowed her eyes. "My instincts warn me whenever I am around her, but maybe I am misreading it…" Nux then narrowed his eyes as his mind started thinking, "…maybe they aren't warning me but are trying to tell me something instead." "…" "…" Amaya and Aeliana stared at him in silence. Then suddenly, "Hmm? Was that woman here?" Everyone heard a voice as a being materialized next to them. "Father." Aeliana smiled as she hugged her father. Azriel smiled as he hugged her back. His eyes, however, were on Nux. "Yes, she was." Nux nodded. "So I was right." "Hmm? What do you mean?" "I felt the flow of time around me tremble, so I guessed it would be her." "You felt the flow of time tremble…?" Nux raised his eyebrow. "Ah, yes. Perks of being connected to the Universe. I can see everything with my own and through the Universe's eyes. So I can sense the flow of time, the fabric of space, energies of life and death, and all that stuff." "…" "…" Others stared at the man with ridiculous looks on their faces. Nux and Shadow, however, were different. "Shadow?" Nux muttered out loud as a shadow then materialized in front of him and nodded. "It is similar to how I perceive your universe." "Huh…?" Azriel raised his eyebrow as he glanced at Shadow. The woman shrugged. Unlike the others, for some reason, she wasn't intimidated by his gaze. "I can sense the fabric of space inside Nux's universe, though I cannot sense the flow of time. But maybe that is because it does not exist in there." "…" Azriel narrowed his eyes at those words. "Are you saying… that my father is becoming what Shadow is to Nux…?" "The Universe's Wife?" Nux chuckled. Azriel's mouth twitched at those words. "Stop thinking about it." Nux then waved his hand. "It is pointless to try and explain things we do not understand." "You seem much more easygoing after your meeting with her." "I am only following your words, Father-in-law." "If only you were this obedient." "I listen, okay." "Right." "…" Nux turned silent, and not wanting to talk to this annoying man anymore, Azriel just snorted and turned towards the Progenitors. "Alright, you lot are coming with me." The Progenitors nodded. Yes, this was the arrangement made. The Progenitors would follow Azriel, train under his guidance, and work for him. While Nux and his wives would do their own thing. Yes, the race had started.
