Chapter 2225: Why don’t we... ask my Father instead? "He might also be the solution to the problem we are currently facing." "What do you mean...?" The Dragon narrowed her eyes at those words, andLyriana— "We can use Zylarith Chaosveil to grow stronger. Strong enough to help Nux." She spoke with a solemn look on her face and her words echoed inside every woman’s mind. "How...?" Amaya asked, all her attention now on Lyriana, if it was something that could make them strong enough to help Nux then... "We need to devour him." Lyriana spoke, and in an instant, every woman present there froze. "Devour... Zylarith...?" Amaya blinked at the absurdity of the statement, but the more she thought about it, the more... benefits she was able to see. And seeing the light in the devourer’s eyes changing, Lyriana continued— "It would take only a few centuries for you, Vyriana, Aeliana, Astaria and I to break through and become Eternals. And although as Eternals, we will be able to help Nux to some extent, we all know that alone won’t be enough. Even now, Nux can defeat Eternals as if they are mere bugs. Even that Auren, the Strongest Child of Light, who is known as one of the strongest Eternals in the Universe, wasn’t a match for him and was knocked out in less than a second. Even if it is us in his stead, with the level Nux has reached right now, it wouldn’t be any different. We... We need to become even stronger." The Elf’s eyes shined intensely as she said the next words. "Stronger than an Eternal." The women present narrowed their eyes, listening properly. The Elf paused briefly, gathering her thoughts, and then— "But our Universe’s Cultivation Bridge has a restriction." "We do not have a way to go beyond the Eternal Stage." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Astaria muttered. She, like others, also knew about this problem, but since she was only a Transcendent right now, she had decided not to think about it till she became an Eternal. But now... Her thoughts were changing. If she was right, then what Lyriana was trying to say was— "If we devour Zylarith, we will have all the knowledge we require regarding the Infinity Stage, just like how our Cultivation Bridge grew once Nux learned about the Eternal Stage. Once he devours Zylarith, He can grow the Cultivation Bridge, opening up the path to... the Infinity Stage. Allowing us... To become Infinities as well." The Elf completed her words, and even though almost all the women had already predicted what she was going to say, those words still sent shivers down their spines. "By then, the enemies wouldn’t even matter. Even without Nux, the Four Infinities would be... helpless against us. And while I do agree this would take time— But if we become Infinity... Then instead of Nux, who has been protecting and helping us grow all this time—we would be doing all this for him instead. One by one, we will kill the enemy Infinities and let Nux devour them, and then their Worlds, and finally—after us—Nux too will break through, reaching a stage no being in the entire Multiverse has ever reached." The more Lyriana spoke, the grander her words felt. The women, who had stayed in the background for far too long, finally saw... a ray of hope. Hope that they too... could be useful to Nux, like they all once desired to be. They too would be able to give back everything he had done for them and show him just how much they cherished him. "Heh..." Vyriana, who was already imagining holding that Light Infinity by her throat, grinned. Her golden eyes shining intensely as she imagined an all-out battle of Infinities. The Final Battle that would decide it all. The Final Battle where—not Nux—but she would lead the charge. And the more tempting part? Lyriana wasn’t even finished yet. "Nux’s Cultivation Bridge is uncertain." She began. Now the women were far more attentive to her words because they too had begun to dream. "Even now, he does not know what makes him strong. ’Acting how a Universe would’ isn’t a concrete answer either. And as he is growing stronger and stronger, the number of ’Universe-like things’ he can do is... decreasing. Finding a way to get stronger from this stage onward is... uncertain. He can only rely on his Universe to grow naturally. Not many things from the Main Universe can actually help him now. And while devouring the Main Universe’s High Level Worlds helps to some extent, that too comes with a strong risk of the Infinities surrounding and ambushing him. But... Now that we already have Vexarion, Nux would have no need to leave his Universe once we have Zylarith too. That way, Nux would no longer need to put himself at risk against the Infinities, and we... we will have all the time in the Universe to catch up to him and... eventually surpass him. Of course, all of it is possible only after we catch Zylarith. As to how we do it... Although I do have some ideas, none of them guarantees anything." Lyriana spoke, and once again, complete silence fell over the place as the women’s thoughts ran wild. And no, these thoughts weren’t just about capturing Zylarith, defeating Infinities, and helping Nux... While some of them indeed had such... innocent thoughts... others were... a little different. The words ’surpassing Nux’ were echoing in some of the women’s heads and... the possibility of becoming stronger than Nux after such a long time placed an... evil grin on their faces. The pictures in their minds were not pretty at all. Pictures that would make even Nux gulp if he saw them—of course, that isn’t to say he wouldn’t be looking forward to it. But right now— The most important thing—even more important than discussing the other Infinities—was to find Zylarith. "How about we use her?" Thyra suggested. The problem was that Zylarith was in his Soul Form. Even the Universe itself is unable to detect him, let alone them, who had no way to track him down. They did, however, have one link with Zylarith in their hands. Sharnoth Nocthys. Zylarith had the power to have complete control over her body once she activates her Body of Chaos, so if she makes an appearance, the chances of him appearing were... quite high. Of course, as for him controlling her body, Sharnoth was now connected to their Universe. Even if he takes control over her body— They could simply call her back and he would be helpless, so they weren’t putting Sharnoth in danger either. Thyra didn’t see anything wrong with this, "We cannot do that." Felberta, however, shook her head. "We do not know to what extent he can control her body and whether Zylarith needs to be close by to control her. For all we know, he could control her from wherever he is, and we would still fail to track him down. Not to mention there are also the Infinities. They know Sharnoth is now with us. The moment Sharnoth appears, the Infinities might make a move too, and then the situation would become far more complicated than we can handle. And Nux..." Felberta paused for a moment and then— "He won’t agree to it." At those words, Skyla laughed. "Mhm, Sharnoth isn’t just Sharnoth, She’s Sister Sharnoth now!" "How long are they going to spend in there anyway?" Aisha jumped into the conversation too, pouting at the fact that she wasn’t there with them. "She is an Eternal, so I believe she would last longer than most." Eisheth commented. The women couldn’t peek in there since Nux put the restrictions, so all they could do was guess. "Should we go visit?" Allura asked, her eyes lightening as she imagined the amusing sight and the flustered Sharnoth. "Shouldn’t we... worry more about Zylarith right now..." Lyriana muttered with a deadpan look on her face. The Elf had already gotten used to the conversation drifting away from the topic at any moment now; she wasn’t even surprised at this point. But then suddenly, "Why don’t we... ask my Father instead?" Aeliana spoke up. The women turned towards her and the Vampire frowned— "Why put so much effort into catching Zylarith? Sure, devouring him might give us some information about the four Infinities, but that information would be trillions of years old. It is not worth it to go through so much effort for such outdated information when the main information that we need can be gathered from other sources, without having to go through so much trouble." "Are you suggesting we ask your Father to let Nux read his memories?" Lyriana asked, and Aeliana nodded. "We need information to grow our Cultivation Bridge, do we not? My Father was once an Infinity too. Why not use his help?" "It won’t work." Lyriana shook her head. "It might have if Nux read his memories before, but now he cannot, since Lord Azriel is now connected to the Universe. Peering into his mind would alert the Universe, which would... result in the Universe reacting strongly and... Killing Lord Azriel for betraying it."
