Chapter 1968 Not as useless as you think, now am I? "Surrender, Draven and Xalvor. You are up against Five Transcendents. You will not win." "…" "…" Two Transcendent-Level Beings, Draven and Xalvor, Leaders of a Middle-Level World named Vitalis, stared at the woman sitting on a throne in front of them and stayed silent for a moment. Right now, they were surrounded by Five Transcendent-Level Beings. It was a battle they couldn't win. "You should already know, Morblood is destroyed, so is Modics. The next one is your Vitalis, and while it may sound clear, there is nothing you can do to change that." Skyla spoke up as well. The two women stared at the two Transcendents standing in the grand hall. Draven and Xalvor stared at each other, and then they nodded and turned back toward Eisheth. "We surrender." Just like that, Nux received his Sixth and Seventh Transcendent-Level Subordinates and devoured his Third Middle-Level World. … Inside his Universe, Lyriana, who was staring at the screen that showed Nux's vision, couldn't help but frown as she saw Eisheth effortlessly taking down Transcendents one after the other. "That Law is too strong." She commented. "Something like that shouldn't exist." "It isn't as strong as you think." Allura, who was standing next to the Former Elven Queen, smiled lightly, staring at the screen as well. "What do you mean?" "They are Transcendents. They have quite a high resistance to her Law. Yes, her Law influences them to some extent, but it is only because, deep down, they know they have no other way out. It is a choice between death and surrender. Skyla's Law calms their mind, forcing them to think. And Eisheth's Law gives them something to look forward to when they choose to surrender. Combined, both their Laws serve a single purpose: making the choice of surrendering far more appealing than death." The Succubus explained. "You seem to understand her Law well, especially Eisheth's." Melia commented as she stared at Allura. At those words, Allura smiled. "Their Laws are similar." Thyra answered. "Similar? Hers and Eisheth's? Then why haven't you used your Law more often?" Lyriana questioned with a frown as she glanced at Allura. "My Law is more focused on Nux." "What does that mean?" "My Law is strongest when I use it on Nux. The Law of Loved One's Temptation, or the Absolute Law of Loved One's Temptation now, allows me to tempt and seduce those who love me. I can make them do whatever I want. Eisheth's Law, on the other hand, is more practical. It allows her to enchant anyone she wants, no matter whether they love her or not. Of course, because there is no restriction to her Law, it is weaker compared to mine. My target cannot resist me; hers can." "But… your only Target is Nux…?" Lyriana raised her eyebrow. "That is correct." Allura nodded. "Nux cannot resist any one of you anyways. Your Law is of no use." Lyriana spoke directly. Allura, however, wasn't offended by those words. Rather, she just chuckled. "I am just different from the rest of you." She shrugged. "You people form your Law so that you can help Nux in the real world. Skyla, Eisheth, and everyone else—you are all the same. I, on the other hand, wish to help Nux's heart and mind instead." Lyriana tilted her head at those words, confused. "She keeps him sane." Felberta answered. "She keeps him… sane?" Lyriana blinked, unable to understand. "That man has billions, if not trillions, of years of memories in his head. A High-Level World, a few Middle-Level Worlds, more than a few Low-Level Worlds, and even more Lowest-Level Worlds. He has absorbed all these worlds, the knowledge that comes with them, and their memories. And I am not even mentioning the memories of other living beings he has in his head. Do you think all of this doesn't affect his mind?" Felberta questioned. Lyriana narrowed her eyes at those words, and seeing her confusion, the Eldraeth Progenitor continued, "The more you learn, the more you lose your emotions. The more you lose… yourself. And Nux, whose head is filled with an endless amount of information, would have long lost himself if it weren't for Allura, who keeps bringing him back to us. She keeps reminding him how much he loves her and all of us whenever Nux is losing himself, and that brings him back right at that moment. Not just that, her Law also helps Nux calm his raging emotions. It eases his mind, suppresses his negative emotions, and helps him when he is down. To summarize it, Allura makes sure Nux remains… Nux." "She makes sure Nux remains Nux…" Lyriana repeated those words as she stared at Allura, and the Succubus just chuckled playfully. "See? Not as useless as you think, now am I?" "I…" Lyriana didn't know how to react to those words. "Hahaha~" Seeing her hesitate, Allura laughed out loud. "Don't worry, I am just joking. I know you didn't mean it that way." "I apologize if I offended you." Lyriana bowed her head. "Of course no-" Allura was about to shake her head, letting it go since it never really mattered to her what others, except for Nux, thought of her. But then, she paused as a thought popped into her head. After all, her Law wasn't the only thing that kept Nux sane. There were other reasons—reasons he loved a lot, even more than his life. And Allura knew the truth. The more these reasons there are, the less likely it is for Nux to lose himself. This was also the reason she had been actively seeking more of these reasons as of late. The two Foxes, then the Seer, and now the Princess—they were all on the list. The Foxes were gone, the Seer is difficult to understand, while the Princess is… well… that is just wishful thinking. But there was one name on the list whose matter hadn't completely settled yet. "Do you think a simple apology would cut it?" Allura questioned back. She was indeed offended. "I…" Lyriana didn't know what to say. "I want you to do something for me." Allura spoke up with a big smile on her face. "If you do that, I'll forgive you."
