Chapter 1398 I will be the Strongest.
1398 I will be the Strongest.
"So... you have something called... a System in your body...? A System that... gave you the ability to not only get stronger by mating with your wives but also strengthen the said wives as well...?"
Faustina questioned as she glanced at the boy standing in front of her with a strange look on her face.
"That is correct." Nux nodded, agreeing to her statement.
"Not to mention that the mentioned features are just the start, and this System also helps you manage your and your wives'' bloodlines, gives you almost all the strange abilities you use, abilities that can also be passed to your wives, and it is also the source of that energy you use."
"Yes, as I said, the energy name is Essence, however, I cannot pass Essence to my wives, unlike most of my abilities."
Nux nodded once again.
Faustina blinked a few times, digesting what she just heard.
As ridiculous as it all sounds, at the end of the day, she was a million old year monster, this can surprise her, yes, however, this didn''t mean she would continue to stare at her son with her mouth wide agape like a fool and stop interacting properly.
She simply needed time to understand her son''s position and look through his eyes to understand his decisions.
"So the reason you do not want to get the Blessing of the Will of Yrniel is because you believe that once you reach Saint Stage, the System will give you something that will help you form your Law, or might even give you a law directly."
"Throughout my journey, it gave me everything I needed exactly at the moment I needed it, it is as if it was created to be my guide and make my cultivation journey easier. After all, without it, I would still be a boy who was clueless about this world, let alone standing here in front of you, I probably would have died in the first few days of coming here or would have turned into Felberta''s Gigolo, something now that I think about it, Felberta would have liked quite a lot. Not that I am against it or anything, spending time with my wife without having to worry about getting strong and everything doesn''t seem very bad."
Nux chuckled as he considered that possibility.
"I do not need to hear the details of your love stories, my son. I have seen enough already."
Faustina spoke with a casual tone, not allowing him to go with the flow and forget the topic. The woman had spent 800 years with him, she knew how his mind worked and how it wandered off to his wives if given even the slightest of chance.
Yes, her son was crazy, but she decided to accept him as the way he was, such was the love of a Mother.
"Right."
Nux coughed, covering his mouth for a moment, before assuming a serious expression again, "System gave me what I wanted when it was necessary, I believe it would be the same for the Laws as well." He seemed quite confident that it would happen.
"And the reason you are holding back and not getting the System''s help is because..."
"I feel controlled, and I do not like that feeling."
Nux spoke, narrowing his eyes as he replayed his entire life in this cultivation world in his mind.
This wasn''t the first time he did it, the moment he realized how important introspecting oneself was in order to create a Law, he had done it quite a few times. What better way is there to understand oneself than to remember your life and the decisions you took to reach where you were, this is what creates an individual, after all.
Anyways, coming back to the topic, Nux had replayed his life quite a few times in his mind, and one thing that always bothered him was how perfect the System was.
It was as if someone had created a path for him from the very beginning and for the current Nux, who had grown extremely protective of people around him, this was oddly unsettling.
He didn''t know whether the System was his enemy or not, honestly, it was his greatest asset, however, right now, Nux didn''t wish to follow the Path the System had created for him, at least not until it was absolutely necessary.
"So because you do not like that you are being controlled, you decided to deviate from this path the system has created for you? This is why you were working so hard this entire time?" Faustina questioned.
"That is not the only reason."
Nux shook his head.
Nux knew his mother wasn''t weak, neither physically nor mentally, she didn''t need his support. She was a Strong Woman.
"The path you choose is a difficult one, my son."
Faustina spoke, this time, the weight behind her voice was much higher than normal, not because the woman was emotional, far from it, it took a lot for a million-year-old monster to feel ''emotional'', she was simply astounded by the gravity of the goal her son had.
He truly wished to be... the Strongest.
All so he could protect his wives.
''He is indeed crazy.'' Faustina couldn''t help but chuckle inwardly.
"Well, that''s the fun of it, isn''t it? I wonder just how difficult it is." Nux chuckled, making Faustina chuckle together with him as well.
"I will be witnessing your journey very closely, child."
"I will be looking forward to your guidance, Mother," Nux replied and his mother nodded.
The two stayed silent for the next few minutes, both of them had things they were busy thinking about.
"Mother."
Suddenly, Nux broke the silence.
"Hmm?" Faustina turned towards her son.
"The Vampire Progenitor, has he also not formed his Law?"
"Of course not, he is an exception. You cannot be that strong unless you comprehend a Law, a Law as ridiculous as the one he comprehended."
Faustina snorted just thinking about the Law that man had formed. She was 100% sure that if the details about that man''s Law were leaked, their enemies would die coughing too much blood. That was how ridiculous that man was.
A True Monster.
"What is his Law?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned.
Faustina stared at him for a while, this was definitely not something she should reveal since it was one of the closely guarded secrets but... Did she care?
Of course not.
She already revealed too many things, even her world''s biggest secret.
If he knew a thing or two more, it wouldn''t matter.
And who knows?
Knowing this might help her son in some way.
And for a mother, that was enough of a reason to ''betray'' her world again.
"Law of Absolute."
She revealed.
