"Only 60,000,000 heartbeats (about two years) have passed in total if we exclude Shadow’s Time. I think we can call this a success, no?" Nux questioned with a big smile on his face as he stared at his wives. "Indeed." The women nodded. Just like Nux, they all had big smiles on their faces. Their legs were trembling nonstop as they hovered in the air. Some had lost looks on their faces, as if they didn’t even know where they were and were just staring at an empty space ahead of them with a foolish look on their faces. "With this, our Universe finally has the Primordial Energy of Time." Nux announced. Once again, the women who could still hear him nodded, while the rest just stood there in silence. Of course, Nux didn’t mind it one bit. Rather, it gave him an ego boost. And… He needed his wives to be in this condition for what he was about to say next. Giving the loves of his life one last look, Nux finally took his shot, "And with this, it is time I return to the Main Universe." He dropped the bomb, and in an instant, some of the women’s expressions changed. Felberta stared at him and narrowed her eyes. "You know I need to go." Nux spoke. "…" Felberta was silent. She knew it was the truth. Nux needed to return. He needed to gather the last four Primordial Energies to complete his Universe, but… She was also scared of losing Nux in the process. Yes, the five thousand years away from Nux had made her paranoid. She was… scared. Of course, she also knew she needed to let go of this fear. Her Nux was strong, and she needed to trust him. She needed to be the reasonable one here. She couldn’t act like Amaya and hold him bac— ’Huh?’ Suddenly, Felberta’s expression changed as she realized something. Amaya still hadn’t said anything. It was quite odd. She turned towards her sister and very quickly realized why the woman was silent. "Mmhhhmmmm~~ Hhhmmm~" Amaya hummed a tune with a silly smile on her face, staring at an empty space while her legs trembled. Her juices trailed down her leg from her gown, but she didn’t seem to care. She didn’t even seem like she was in this world to care about such mundane matters. Yes, Amaya was currently one of the women who had lost their minds. Felberta turned back towards Nux and shook her head with a grin. "Yo—" "You chose her at last because of this, didn’t you?" Eisheth questioned. She had somewhat recovered as well and could see Amaya’s condition. Nux smiled. "She won’t let me leave." He answered lightly. "She wouldn’t. She is too scared, so scared that she will give her all to stop you." Eisheth spoke in a light tone. All the women knew how much Amaya was affected by these past 5000 years without Nux. They had seen her break down multiple times. The woman had pretty much lost her mind. Seeing her state was also when Nux realized how serious this actually was and decided not to return to the Main Universe for a while. The situation was so bad that the woman wouldn’t even let him leave the Universe even if it was just to have sex with them. They would rather have sex with him in a world where light does not exist. It was so bad that instead of using the information he had comprehended inside the Temple of Time and creating Time right away, Nux waited for long, long years, spent time with his wives, constantly telling them he was back, and only when they calmed a little did he finally move forward. But even then, he could sense the women still wouldn’t let him leave, so he decided to spend more time with them—this time, as an ’experiment’ to test if the Time he had created actually worked or not. It was a perfect use of Personal Time and Universal Time. He went to his wives, connected their Personal Times, and extended it. On the Universal Level, he only spent around 100,000 heartbeats with each one of them, but in truth, they spent thousands of years together. Time his wives would never forget, especially Amaya, who, in her desperation, laid out all her fantasies—even the ones hidden deep, deep inside her. It was an Amaya Nux had never seen before, an Amaya he loved a lot. And once he was done… 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Amaya was left in this state. "Fufufu~" The Devourer smiled, her mind and body still reminiscing what just happened. "I need her to let go of that fear." Nux commented as he stared at his wife. "I need her next to me if I wish to win. I need all of you next to me, not doubting me or being scared for me, But trusting me with your eyes closed, like you did before." "We are just…" Felberta didn’t know how to say anything. "We do not know anything about the Supreme Worlds." Thyra spoke up. Yes, the Cat was awake from her stupor as well, and unlike Felberta, she decided to speak her mind. "The enemies are too strong, even you know that." Thyra spoke. "Wasn’t that always the case?" "But we had people protecting us before. Now we are on our own. You are alone because we cannot help you as much. This is what affects us so much—we are too weak in front of the enemies we are facing." Thyra then glanced at Amaya and, "This is also the reason she is reacting so extremely. She realized how weak she was even after breaking through the Transcendent Level." The rest of the women nodded. They felt the same. "We cannot lose you, Nux." Eisheth spoke up. "We cannot." She repeated her words, her tone much lighter than before. "You will not. I promise. I will not lose." Nux answered, confident. "There is one much more certain way to not lose." Eisheth spoke. Everyone knew what she was implying, even Nux, but… "I promise I will win." Nux replied, not backing down. The women glanced at each other, still a little worried. They tried to convince themselves and deal with their paranoia, but it was easier said than done. Nux, who saw that, clenched his fists. An action Felberta, who had been observing him from the start, didn’t miss. "Nux." She called out. "What are you hiding?" She questioned directly.
