"You seem to be having fun.
Did you like my gift?"
Suddenly, everyone heard a playful voice, but before they could react, their movents slowed down.
Everyone but Nux moved unbearably slowly; they were almost frozen.
Nux, who noticed the odd change, turned around, and his eyes fell on a woman he knew very well.
She was here.
"The Seer."
He called out as he narrowed his eyes.
Right now, his thoughts on the Seer were complex.
He had doubted her before; he had even racked his brains trying to co up with ways to kill the woman, but let alone killing her, even tracking her down seed impossible.
Yet now…
She was standing right in front of him with that sa playful smile on her face.
"It doesn't look like you liked my gift very much.
Why is that?"
The woman questioned as she tilted her head in a curious frown.
"You should know that already, don't you? After all, you are the all-knowing Seer."
Nux retorted in a sarcastic tone.
"I do know the reason; I just do not understand why you still hold your grudges."
The Seer answered.
"I am sure you have finally realized what I did was necessary. I gave you a way out, a way to sever all your wives' connections with the Universe and be inseparable.
Is that not what you wanted?"
"You made my wife cry."
"I don't see her crying right now. She looks rather happy."
The Seer spoke as she glanced at Aeliana, who was still smiling and looking in Nux's direction.
"…"
In the end, Nux turned silent.
Even he could see that his anger towards the Seer was more of frustration, pettiness even. He had been in control for such a long ti that now that a variable he couldn't control had appeared, he felt… strange.
"I know you do not trust , Nux. I also know you were planning to track down and kill .
But I am not an enemy, Nux Leander.
Azriel Ruinous needed a push, and I gave it to him."
"You told him he would die."
"I only did it because I knew how he would react to my words. If I had directly told him to break his connection with Yrniel and kill himself, even if it was sothing he had thought of on his own, he would have doubted that I was scheming sothing and wanted him gone.
Of course, you being suspicious of from the very start didn't help the situation either. That would have made him doubt even more.
The only way out of this was to stroke his ego, tell him he couldn't do it, and see what happened next."
The Seer explained, and in the end, Nux turned silent.
After all, this was exactly how it had played out.
"Nux, I know you are doubtful, and truthfully, I wanted you to doubt because I wanted Azriel to doubt .
But now that is over, it is ti I make sothing clear.
No matter what happens,
I will never harm you."
The woman spoke, her tone displaying affection and possessiveness very similar to his own.
It was almost too believable.
"Yes, I know it is hard for you, but you cannot deny I made things easier for you.
Even if you cannot see as soone you can blindly trust, at the very least, you can see as an ally. An ally who has a common enemy."
"Common enemy?"
"The Supre Worlds."
The Seer revealed.
"But you said the Supre Worlds cannot hurt you."
"That doesn't an I can harm them. I already ntioned this before—I am not as strong as you may think. I am just complex to understand."
"So… you want to help you fight the Supre Worlds?"
"If that ans you will stop looking at like I am an enemy, then yes.
That gaze hurts, you know?
And I am saying this right now—I will make you pay for looking at like that in the future."
"…"
Nux stayed silent.
"Your father-in-law is currently the Supre Worlds' greatest enemy, the biggest thorn in their eyes."
The Seer ntioned out of the blue.
"Those Four will not sit back and let soone else surpass them all. They will co for Azriel."
"Why are you telling that?"
Nux frowned.
"I am telling you because I want you to know that I am not the only one who sees the Supre Worlds as enemies. Since your father-in-law will stand against them, they will be your enemies as well.
So stop thinking we do not have a common enemy."
"I was not…"
Nux tried to lie, but in the end, he just gave up.
He couldn't deal with this woman.
It was as if she knew everything he had in his mind.
Not to ntion she was too beautiful.
It was a deadly combination.
In the end, Nux shook his head and heaved a big sigh.
"So you are an ally, got it."
"Good."
A beautiful smile appeared on the Seer's face.
"So what do we do next?"
Nux questioned.
"What do you an?"
The Seer questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"Don't you already know what I an?"
Nux raised his eyebrow.
"I want to have complete conversations.
I do not want to complete half of your sentences in my mind and carry the entire conversation. It is exhausting and… lonely."
Her voice beca low. Soon, however, she shook her head, as if getting rid of an unnecessary mory, and glanced at Nux again.
"So? What do you an?"
She questioned.
Nux stared at the woman for a while. He still had many questions in his mind, but in the end, he decided to bury them all and trust her a little.
"I am asking what do we do next? The Supre Worlds are after Father-in-law, but he is too weak to fight them. The sa is true for .
I may have beco a Primordial now, but I am nowhere near strong enough to take on an Infinity-Level Being.
So how do we deal with the Supre Worlds coming after us?"
