Chapter 1473 He already knows. "Forgive me for everything I have done till now, Forgive me for not being able to understand you, Forgive me for not being there for you. And… Let me make it up to you." Azriel spoke those words, then, he separated from her daughter and looked into her eyes. It was as if he was asking for her permission. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 The strongest man in the universe currently had such a weak look on his face that spectators who heard about Azriel would never believe it, however, for the Progenitors, who personally knew Azriel and what type of person he was, They could all understand what was going through his mind. Only the Progenitors knew how weak Azriel currently was. A single word from Aeliana could practically ruin the strongest Progenitor. That was the amount of power Aeliana held in her hands. "F-Father…" Aeliana spoke. Her voice and body were trembling, just like Azriel, she was emotionally vulnerable. The man she hated the most? What a joke! She never hated her father, she simply… hated his lack of presence. Even if this man practically ruined her entire life, now that he stood in front of her, she couldn't hate him… Her foolish heart had already given in. And that was all Azriel needed to see. Words weren't needed, he understood what his daughter wanted. A gentle smile appeared on his face and, "Even though I do not like him, I will start with what that man said. You must have a lot of things you wish to ask, all those unanswered questions, let's start by answering those, What do you say?" Aeliana nodded. Azriel then held her hand and just as he was about to tear open the space and take her away, "Azriel." One of the Elven Progenitors called out. Azriel glanced at his friend, waiting for her to continue, "I know I shouldn't intervene right now, but this is something important." "What is it?" Azriel questioned. "Those children might deduce our secret." The Elven Progenitor pointed out. The matter was buried when Azriel appeared, however, the fact that Dagahra didn't 'use' the power of his Law in his battle against Nux wasn't something that could be ignored. Everything happened too fast so no one touched that topic again, however, eventually, Nux or one of those women would bring this topic up and from there… Deducing the Progenitors' secret won't be a difficult task. Especially since that Devourer girl was there with them, with that woman's intelligence, it was only a matter of time before she found out about the truth and… that was something the Progenitors couldn't allow. After all, this would put the entirety of Yrniel at a great risk. It was a serious matter and this is why the Elven Progenitor stopped Azriel, however, "They already know." Azriel replied, surprising all the Progenitors. "I am not sure about those women, but that boy already knows that secret." "What!?" Dagahra was shocked. Azriel turned towards his friend and, "Why do you think he challenged you and didn't tell you to restrict your cultivation to Saint Stage rather than Divine?" "What…?" Dagahra narrowed his eyes. "That man is no fool, Dagahra, you better not treat him like one." "What are you trying to say?" Saphira questioned with a frown on her face. Even Aeliana was looking at her father with a curious look on her face. After all, she never saw Nux as much of a schemer, not that her previous experience of interacting with Nux was helping her in any manner. That man had completely changed after coming out of the illusion, so much so that Aeliana was extremely curious about what happened inside the illusion. How could a person change so much? What made it possible? "His actions indeed seemed rash, however, as far as I understood that man, he is not someone who would ever risk his wives' safety. His 'rash' actions were technically the most optimal way of getting out of the situation he was in. What else could he do? He most definitely couldn't fight. His death was pretty much certain. The only way he could come out alive was… to do something no one expected him to do. Snapping at me, purposefully agitating Dagahra, then making the bet, everything was done as if it was pre-planned. I highly doubt all of this was a streak of coincidences. If he had thought everything so far, then why bother making things more difficult for himself? Why make you restrict your cultivation to only the Divine Stage? That was because he was confident he would win." Azriel explained and the more he spoke, the more solemn Dagahra's face got. As a proud Progenitor, he didn't like how his enemy underestimated him from the start and, to make it worse, he lost, proving his enemy right. "I do not understand what Path that boy comprehended, however, the moment he negated my Aura, I understood it was something extremely strong. However, in the end, that boy was still a Semi Saint. No matter how strong his Law was, he could not use it to its fullest ability. So how was he so confident that he could defeat you? He knew he could negate your Law of Self because he negated mine, however, what if you used your Law to enhance your strength and what if your Law was powerful enough to actually defeat him? What if you have comprehended the Law that could pass on the damage to his clones to him? After all, as someone who uses the ability of an Incubus, he should know those Laws are extremely common. Any strong cultivator has one way or another to deal with the clones. Then how would you, a strong Progenitor, not have one? Did you think that after calculating everything so far, he missed this single point?" Azriel questioned with a slight smile. The rest of the Progenitors started to realize. "But… how did…" Saphira questioned, however, before the question even formed in her head, the answer was already clear. All the Progenitors turned towards a certain woman. "Faustina…" Caesar muttered with a complicated look on his face. The Mother of Humans stared at the rest of the Progenitors, she didn't know how to react. "Stop it." Suddenly, Azriel spoke up. "Faustina is not an enemy. Since she decided to trust that boy, we will follow her as well. We can't kill him because he won the bet anyway." Azriel just shrugged. Then, he held his daughter's hand again and, "It doesn't matter, even if he betrays us and the enemies come after us in the future, I will take care of it. Anyways, I have some important things I need to do, I would like some private time." Saying those words, Azriel took Aeliana away.
