Chapter 1695 Do you want me to send you back instead? "So this is the thing you were telling me about huh... A Cosmocraft... It looks quite grand." Eisheth praised as she looked around. Her eyes then fell outside the window, looking at the vast space they were in. "Outer Space... I never thought I would one day leave Yrniel, The Succubus Queen muttered. This was her first time seeing all this, so obviously, she was surprised, she looked like a country bumpkin who was brought to the world's Grandest City, finding everything around her shocking and awespiring, and it wasn't just her, Lyriana was the same. Right now, however, rather than feeling awe or shocked, Lyriana was glaring at Nux. "You fooled me." She spoke. Nux simply glanced at her and the Elven Queen continued, "You said you would make me stronger." "I am not going back on my word, I am simply saying it would take time." "How long?" "I do not know." "How do I know that you are not fooling me? It won't be the first time you did it. Maybe you do not have a way to make me stronger and are just buying time until you do." The moment those words left Lyriana's mouth, silence fell over the place. In an instant, the Cosmocraft, which was a mess since all the women were talking to each other, became no different than a meeting room where not a single person spoke. Nux stared at Lyriana and then, "Do you want me to send you back instead? I can do it if you want." "!!!" response. "It is not my fault you are weak. I didn't hold you back, you did it on your own. And now when I am giving you a chance, you are doubting me instead? The World is not yours to have, Lyriana. You will not get something just because you want it. I said I have a way to help you, it means I do. I just cannot use it right now. Now if you believe me, it is good. If not, no one's stopping you from leaving. Go and figure out a way to get stronger yourself. Or just return to your Kingdom, if you can't do it." Saying those words, Nux turned around and walked to a corner with his heart heavy. Felberta and others quickly walked towards him, surrounding him and making sure he was alright. Vyriana and Amaya glanced at each other, confused about what they should say. There was a reason none of them fought back when Nux said that he wasn't going to let anyone participate in the War till he ensured their safety despite all of them wanting to participate and helping him in any way they could. Right now, Nux was extremely sensitive because of everything that has happened to his wives. He was in a state where he wasn't even helping the Foxkin, who might be eradicated at any moment if something went wrong, and here Lyriana was pressuring him to help her get stronger. Yes, the woman wasn't in the wrong, Nux did promise her that he would help her, and anyone would have doubts if they didn't receive what they promised even after more than a hundred years had passed. Lyriana had been patient enough all this while. Honestly, Nux did have a way to help her. He had solved the problem the Divines were facing in his mind. Since the problem was their connection with the Universe, he simply needed to break it, once he connects Lyriana and Eisheth to his Universe, he can devour their Cultivation just like he normally does, then get them to form their Laws with the help of Trials and return to Divine Stage again, this time, much stronger than before. This method, however, once again puts his wives and the entirety of Yrniel in danger, this was the reason he was holding back. Just like Amava said in the past. they needed to create a diversion. They needed to get Yrniel out of the Universe's radar. And that was going to take time. So right now, helping Lyriana was completely out of the question. The only reason Nux even brought that woman with him was because he didn't want her to be left alone again and have useless worries in her mind. He thought that if he was with her and she knew what he was up to, she would understand, but... This seems to be having the opposite effect. Silence fell over the Cosmocraft. Nux and his wives stood on one side, Lyriana stood on the other with Evane, who was worried about her being left out and decided to stand with her. Lyriana herself clenched her fists as she looked down. She didn't have a response to Nux's words? Could she leave? She could not. She had no way to get out of her situation on her own, she needed Nux's help. 'I wasn't thinking it through...' Lyriana realized it. 'He has no reason to help me first when I don't have any value, why was I even expecting him to help the first thing he returns? What the hell is wrong with me?" The moment Lyriana thought all of this through, she shook her head, then, she glanced at Nux, who was staring out of the window and, "I was wrong. I apologize for pressuring you and am grateful that you are helping me. Please take as much time as you need, I won't doubt you again." She apologized as she bowed her head, then, she slowly walked towards the other corner and sat down with her eyes closed. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 Nux stared at her, then, he continued to stare out of the window. With his wives next to him, he quickly calmed down. provided. Once they were there, Nux told all the women to return to Core, then, he glanced at the planet in front of him. 'So this is the Nexus. He spoke as he then recalled Aeliana's words. You should go to Nexus! 'Nexus?' 'It is a Middle Level World that is not part of any of the Supreme Factions, it is also known as Mercenary's Haven since it manages all the mercenaries that are sent all over the Universe to perform all sort of jobs. During the times of War, when worlds needed as much manpower as they could get, All factions contact Mercenary Worlds like these to further strengthen their armies. It is the perfect place for you to participate in the War without raising any suspicions. Of course, you would need to start from the lowest point, but I doubt that would make things any different for you. I am sure you will do well, You are my Student, after all'
