Supreme Harem God Systemchapter 1257: what if i say you do have a choice?

1257 What if I say you do have a choice?

"Hope that you do not meet him.

Because if there comes a time when he is awake and is interacting with others, It would imply that Yrniel is in danger."

Faustina spoke with a solemn look on her face. Nux and Vyriana stared at each other and didn't say anything. The topic was simply to grave for them to pass a comment on.

A strange silence fell over the place until finally,

"COME OUT YOU BASTARD!!"

A shout was heard.

It was Arcturus.

The man had finally understood that killing all these clones would achieve nothing. No matter how many times he killed, after a certain time, he would realize that the number of clones had not reduced and all his past work had all been for naught.

He was faster and stronger, yes, however, the advantage he had didn't mean anything because he couldn't even find his real opponent.

Not to mention...

"Father... why are you shouting...? Shouldn't you be killing the man who killed me...?"

"Father... could it be that you are unable to kill him?"

"Father... why are you killing me... I am not your enemy..."

Nux still hadn't stopped this sadistic game, his clones still looked like Vedier and even though everyone in the arena, including Arcturus knew that this was merely a trick Nux was using to get into his head, being surrounded by his 'son' begging him to avenge hid death was getting more and more frustrating.

Arcturus was getting mentally exhausting and in the end, with his eyes bloodshot, He rushed towards Amaya and,

"NUX YOU BASTARD!!

If you dare not fight me, then don't think your wives are getting out of this place alive!!!"

He shouted as he quickly appeared next to Amaya, ready to grab her by her neck and threaten Nux, but just before he could reach Amaya, "...huh?"

Arcturus froze.

His body couldn't move.

Step Step

The Elven Queen stepped forward, looking right into Arcturus's eyes.

The Dragon Lord's eyes were bloodshot.

"Lyriana!!"

He shouted, furious.

"Let go of me!!"

Of course, with his Law of Self sealed, let alone Lyriana, he couldn't stand against even the weakest Divine Stage Cultivator.

Arcturus's body started moving away from Amaya on its own, he tried to exert more strength in order to regain the control over his body, however, it was all for naught.

"Lyriana!! I am telling you to let go or this will never end well for you!!" Arcturus threatened on the top of his lungs.

"..."

Lyriana, however, didn't react to his words at all.

"YOU BITCH!!"

Arcturus's anger exploded, he commanded his subordinates to attack Lyriana, however, Lyriana's subordinates and other 39 Divine Stage Dragons under Nux's command were ready to stand against them.

But before the confrontation could happen,

Arcturus's subordinates all lost their consciousness, shocked, Arcturus's turned towards the battle overseer and saw Caesar looking at him with a tired look on his face.

"You keep looking down on me.

Is it because you feel that I am too kind?"

The moment he said those words, Arcturus felt a pressure he had never felt before. It wasn't Caesar's Aura, or anything in particular, heck, Arcturus couldn't even feel any trace of 'intent' coming from the Human Progenitor, just those narrow blue eyes staring right into his soul made his freeze. It was as a bucket of icy cold water was poured over his head, in an instant, his anger and frustration he was feeling was flushed out and he straightened up.

"Return to the stage."

Caesar ordered and Arcturus moved.

This time, without any force controlling him, he moved on his own accord, with a fully functioning brain. The 'injustice' his son face or whatever Nux was doing to get into his head didn't matter anymore.

Nux was doing it because he could, Arcturus couldn't seek anyone's help in this matter, especially when Caesar was the one overseeing the duel.

In the end, Arcturus had no choice but to look at his 'sons' standing in front of him and continue the fight again. This time, however, his moves were clearly weaker than before.

His spirit was already broken.

He had already accepted his defeat, his pride, his arrogance, everything was thoroughly crushed with Caesar's one simply stare.

"Well that is boring..."

Nux commented as he noticed that his 'provocations' weren't working anymore. Arcturus was no different than a walking undead with no reactions whatsoever.

Nux glanced at Faustina and,

"Your husband ruined all the fun,"

"It is quite annoying when a fully woven-out plan doesn't go as you intend it to, isn't it?" Faustina questioned with a playful look on her face.

"You look disappointed even when your opponent has already given up."

"This end isn't satisfying." Nux was honest.

"I've waited for this for a long time, I wasn't planning on letting him go just because he gave up.

He attacked me, then he tried to kidnap one of the people I love the most to threaten me, then he brought an entire army just to get me, he publicly shamed me and my wives, tried to separate me and my wives, then threatened and even attacked the people who had any sort of relationship with me.

He used his strength and influence to ruin my and my loved ones life, You think I would be happy when his spirit is broken by someone other than me?

Would you be glad if you were in my place?"

"But aren't you already receiving our help to be in a position to defeat him?" Faustina questioned back. She wanted to dive deeper into Nux's thought process and potentially understand the child.

"Nothing would have changed if you hadn't appeared."

Nux replied with a straight look on his face.

"A 70v11 battle, even he wouldn't be able to win."

"You underestimate the Dragon Lord's strength." Faustina replied.

Nux frowned in confusion, Faustina glanced at Arcturus fighting Nux's clones without any intent to win and, "You do not become the Dragon Lord if you are barely stronger than other Dragons, the ability to command more than 50 Dragons comes from marginally strong power.

You may not believe it,

But if that man goes all out without the Artifact binding his Law of Self, then your 70 companions wouldn't last long, unless, of course, they are prepared to fight for their life, That would give them an advantage."

Faustina spoke and for a moment, Nux froze.

He turned towards Vyriana to confirm if what Faustina said was the truth, Vyriana simply shrugged, "Arcturus is weak."

Her statement was direct.

"But your friends are weaker."

"..."

Nux blinked in surprise. Well, it wasn't a big deal for him to make his 'companions' use their life force to get rid of this threat under control, even if he wanted to spare the elves, just the Dragon alone, fighting with their life force would be enough to face Arcturus, however, that end wouldn't be very satisfactory either.

After all, losing more than 30 subordinates for 1 enemy wasn't the ratio he would be satisfied with, it would make Arcturus look like a hero rather than the pathetic loser he wanted him to be.

"That man is strong for his level, Nux." Seeing that Nux was pondering over something, Faustina spoke up.

"The fact that you can stand up to him and defeat him at your level is already monstrous, something we, at your level, couldn't do.

Don't push yourself too hard.

Don't let your emotions get the best of you.

Neither you nor the people close to you were hurt, there is no point to of acting this way. You are doing nothing but satisfying your sadistic desires.

You are getting a chance to get rid of a troublesome enemy, don't ruin it just because you want it to be more 'satisfying'. That is foolish, especially when you are not strong enough to deal with the enemy at his full strength."

Faustina spoke and after thinking about it for a while, Nux nodded in understanding.

"I will take your lesson to heart, Lady Faustina. Thank you."

"It is my duty to help my child."

"Child huh...?

Alright, then I'll call you mother from now on.

But don't expect me to call Lord Caesar father, I don't form relationships with men."

"Hahaha~"

Faustina couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Nux on the other hand, formed a new Clone, this time, the Clone wasn't in Vedier's form, but of his own. Then suddenly, Black Mist surrounded the entire stage, blocking others' view.

Arcturus, who stared at the Clones paused, then, with a dull look on his face, he questioned, "Did you have your fun?

Are you prepared to end this now?"

Nux, however, stared right into Arcturus's eyes and,

"Are you satisfied with this end?"

"I do not wish to play any more of your games, it was a deathmatch, so end it already," Arcturus spoke.

"Wouldn't you feel wrong by dying in the hands of an opponent you could have killed if it weren't for so many people influencing the battle?"

"...as if I have a choice."

"What if I say you do have a choice?
