1364 I am the First for a reason
"What do you think?"
Amaya questioned as she glanced at her husband.
Nux thought about her words for a while, then, he shook his head.
"No."
Amaya frowned and she wasn't alone, the rest of the women all frowned as well.
Since they were meeting Nux after a long time, not to mention Nux himself had spent around 100 years in Solitude's End, they decided to take a long break and spent the last 2 years in the Waranal.
Right now, since their break was about to end and Nux was preparing to return to Solitude's End, not knowing when he would return, everyone decided to sit together, discussing the future actions and this was when Amaya came with her suggestion.
However, she didn't think Nux would reject her suggestion.
"Why?" Amaya questioned.
"It should already be clear that the reason you are unable to raise your mastery level is because of Essence.
You received Essence from the System and the System never tried to harm you. We have long established that till now, the System is our ally.
It wouldn't give you something that would halt your progress. It gives you what you need when you require it.
Since the Laws are formed when one becomes a Saint, there is a high chance that the System will give you something when you break through and become a Saint.
Even if you don't receive anything, we lose nothing from this.
Then why...?"
This time, the rest of the women agreed with Amaya.
None of them could understand why Nux was holding back and struggling helplessly when the solution to the problem was right in front of their Eyes.
Looking at his wives' reactions, Nux couldn't help but laugh out loud. Their worries were clear in their eyes, even women like Edda, Aisha and Allura, who usually have playful looks on their faces were currently looking at him with frowns.
"Nux."
Felberta, who was currently sitting on his lap, enjoying as he continuously caressed her abdomen and thighs turned and looked into his eyes as well.
"What is it? What is holding you back?"
Felberta questioned.
Looking into her eyes, Nux chuckled, then, he decided to reveal his reasonings.
"I do not wish to depend on the System."
"What...?" Felberta, Amaya and the rest of the women narrowed their eyes.
"Yes, the System has benefitted me and never once did it try to harm me, if it wasn't for the System, then I would most probably still be a weak mortal unable to do anything on my own. The System is the sole reason behind everything I have, however, The more I grow, the more I realize the System's Limit.
The System is not omnipotent. Yes, it was strong enough to choose any random man and turn him into a monster far more capable than me, however, even though it was as strong as it was, it still had its limit.
Realizing this made me think, who created the System?
What is its origin?
Yes, it never tried to harm me, however, I still do not know anything about the System.
Even if I assume that the one who created the System is an ally, the very fact that the System was created by another living being means that despite being as strong as it is, it is still unable to make me the strongest.
It is still incapable of fulfilling my goal.
And...
If the creator of the System is an enemy...
Well, then things would be even worse.
Therefore, I decided not to rely on the System this time.
A Law is an Impact one has on the Universe, the Universe's acknowledgement of a being, I just want the Universe to know that I am not just a man who was lucky enough to get a System and got stronger.
I am Nux Leander.
A man who will become the strongest eventually."
Nux spoke, his golden eyes shining intently as he stared at his women with a confident smile on his face.
Astaria, who found something familiar in that smile couldn't help but shake her head, "You sound like Master."
Hearing those words, Nux couldn't help but laugh,
"Well, I have spent quite a lot of time with that woman."
Amaya narrowed her eyes when she heard that reply.
"I need to become a Divine."
The woman muttered, her black eyes getting darker and darker as a crazy, possessive look appeared on her face.
She didn't like that HER Nux was spending so much time with some random Dragon, even picking some of her personality.
Felberta, however, chuckled,
"He doesn't sound like Lady Vyriana."
She commented.
Astaria turned towards her and Felberta continued,
"Wasn't he always the same?
Arrogant, Greedy, Shameless, Confident, Brazen.
He was merely a Master Stage Cultivator when he was flirting with the wife of the King of the Skyfall Kingdom, a Cultivator who was far stronger than him. Then, he killed an Emperor, enslaved a Beast who threatened to rule over everything, before he finally came here and created a Clan that no other power currently tries to mess with.
He never changed.
His goals never changed.
Only his horizons were broadened."
Felberta spoke and Nux couldn't help but smile.
"You know me so well, my love." He spoke, kissing the back of Felberta's neck. Felberta's smile widened as she moved her head back, getting as close to Nux as physically possible.
"How can I not?
I am the First for a reason"
She spoke, looking into Amaya's eyes as she said those words. The First wife was marking her territory and of course, the devourer didn't like that at all.
She narrowed her eyes, honestly, she wanted nothing more than to use her Mist and devour all these bitches surrounding her husband, however, knowing that her action would sadden her Nux, she held back and just turned silent.
Silently glaring at the woman who was currently enjoying Nux's attention.
Her resolve to become a Divine Stage Cultivator strengthened even further.
The number of bitches around her Nux was simply too high, she needed to always be there with him to make sure that no bitch gets too friendly with her husband.
She needed to be with him to make sure that her scent was always on that man, even if the man was bathing in sweat.
Nux, who could feel Amaya's sharp stare couldn't help but smile.
Those pair of possessive, crazy black eyes was something that made his heart beat loudly without rest. The gaze that seemed like it wanted to capture him, keep him inside a hidden room and spend every single passing second together with him... It filled him with joy.
The love his wife had for him, those eyes portrayed them as clearly as possible.
And of course, Amaya wasn't alone, the rest of the women were glaring at Felberta as well. Felberta, however, didn't care.
She simply chuckled at the gazes before her focus returned to her husband.
No words were said, however, the exchange was still heated. Heated enough to make any man sweat in terror, Nux however, was observing everything with a wide smile on his face.
All of them were his.
They belonged to him.
His feelings were strengthened.
And finally, he stood up.
"Alright girls."
He spoke, gently placing Felberta on the ground.
"It is time we all return to our training."
The women nodded as well.
As much as they wanted to act spoiled and spend another few years with him, they knew they couldn't prolong it any further. If they did, then that crazy woman who was still respecting their privacy would lose her patience and would personally come all the way here to kidnap their man away.
If that happened, waiting for a few years would be the least of their problem.
After all, who knew what that crazy bitch would do to their husband?
Who knows? She might even decide to keep him with her for the rest of her life.
With the current state of that woman, that was very much a possibility.
Nux then opened the Portal back to Yrniel, however, before he walked in, he glanced at his wives again and, "For the ones who have already formed their Laws, I hope you break through to the Divine Stage as soon as possible, once you do, you will be stronger than me, so I will be looking forward to you protecting me from dangers.
As for the ones who still haven't formed their Laws. Well, we are on the same page for now, unable to form our Laws, however, I know that all of you are much more capable than me, so it wouldn't take you a long time to form your Laws, Just be sure of one thing,"
"Yes, Yes, we will not form Dependent Laws, we already promised you before," Aisha replied with a deadpan look on her face, already knowing what Nux was about to say.
Nux chuckled, nodding at her words.
"Then let's leave, shall we?"
He spoke and one by one, the women except for the ones who had formed their Laws started leaving and finally, Nux left as well.
Preparing for another long training session.
