CHAPTER 1687 I GUESS SHE WAS AN ANOMALY?
"Why did you lie to me?
Why did you say that the Progenitors were using you when it was you who contacted the otherworlders first? Why are you trying to blame the people who are trying to protect you? Why are you trying to destroy the place that gave you a home when your own was destroyed?" Nux asked several questions and the answer he got was…
"…" Silence. The woman didn't say anything. Of course, Nux wasn't impatient either, he continued to stare at 'her', giving her all the time she needed to come up with an answer. 5 minutes passed by, the hall was still deathly silent. The beings who had sensed Nux's presence had already surrounded the place, none, however, dared to attack. After all, this wasn't the first time Nux had come here, they knew what sort of monstrosity they were dealing with and they also knew Nux was somewhat close to the Family Head. Suddenly, Nux felt a strange force surrounding him, he could resist if he wanted, for a moment, he let it be and he was teleported to a different space. He looked around and found himself inside a completely white space, the walls, the ceiling, the floor, everything was white with no difference whatsoever, you could turn this space around and no one would notice it. *Step* *Step* Nux then heard footsteps. As he turned around, his eyes fell on the woman he had come here for. "So you had a chat with a Progenitor, huh…
I didn't expect you would directly confront them regarding our situation.
I guess you were pretty serious when you said you wanted to help us." Faelara commented. "And I guess you weren't as serious, huh? I didn't think you would lie." "What? Do you expect me to trust a child to save my people? And for what? Because he fell in love with me? Do you realize how childish that sounds? It is almost like a bedtime story I used to recite when Vulpiana was a child." "Now that I look at it, that does feel quite childish.
I guess I did let my greed take over me." Nux admitted. He wasn't in the right state of mind back then, even now, he knew he wasn't exactly in a perfect condition. However, he wasn't planning on letting this get between what he wanted. "Anyways, now that you know I was serious when I said I wanted to protect you, shouldn't you tell me why you did it? Why are you trying to ally with the otherworlders?" "You talk as if I am the one doing it." Faelara chuckled. Nux frowned and the Fox started telling her story, "What do you think would happen when you, a being from a Middle Level World, with endless potential, would be thrown to a Lower Level World, limiting your Potential? Would you try and live together with people clearly much less talented than you? Well, I don't know about you or me, my ancestors didn't like that option very much. As being from a Middle-Level World, they considered a Lower Level World and its residents to be lowly, rather than wanting to live together, they wanted to rule them, show them their place. However, my Ancestors realized that it wasn't possible because of their current situation, because of the War, the Progenitor, along with our strongest warriors had died, not to mention Yrniel Progenitors were much stronger than what they expected, we were in no situation to take over Yrniel. Therefore, my ancestors came up with a plan."
"They decided to contact beings from another world. They were hoping that the two forces would continue fighting with each other and they would reap the rewards." Nux spoke. "It was a common tactic, but it was something with a high success rate. Hiding our true powers wasn't difficult for us, So we simply wanted to hide the strongest beings on our side, contact the beings from another world, make them think we would work under them as their spies, plan out the War between two forces and then take advantage of the situation to take over Yrniel and become its sole ruler." Faelara explained the entire thing and then, a grim look appeared on her face, "It was a mistake." Nux narrowed his eyes and the Foxkin continued, "The Otherworlders weren't fools either, the moment my ancestors made contact with them, they targeted us. We still do not know how they did it, but they gained the power to kill us with just a mere thought whenever they wanted. Those beings made sure we could never betray them." "So the reason you didn't contact the Progenitors…" "Those bastards do not need to enter Yrniel to get rid of me and my people, so even if the Progenitors closed Yrniel, they still wouldn't be able to protect us. Even if the Progenitors were strong, they still weren't strong enough to wipe out the enemies before they could get rid of us. If in the end, no matter how we tried to resist, the end result was us being killed, We decided to not resist at all. We had no choice but to continue being their subordinates, for the current and all the coming generations." "Why didn't you go to the Vampire Progenitor?" Nux couldn't understand. The other Progenitors, he understood. But that monster? He could pretty much destroy any world before they could activate whatever power they had, heck, they wouldn't even know what hit them. Nux was sure that Azriel would help them if they had gone to him. After all, even in past, he had awakened from his slumber to destroy the enemies who came to Yrniel.
"The Vampire Progenitor…? Who is that?" But Faelara's confused expression took Nux aback. "You do not know who the Vampire Progenitor is?" "Is he someone I should know of?" "How do you think you came to this World in the first place?"
"Because our home was destroyed." "Who destroyed your home?" "I do not know much details, but I know it was a High-Level World." "And why didn't that High-Level World kill all of you before you could come here?" "It is because our Progenitor defeated them by sacrificing her life." "And you think that a Progenitor of a Middle-Level World is capable of that?" "…I guess she was an anomaly?" Faelara wasn't sure. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
