Chapter 1563 Plain cowardice

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"I expected better from you, Nux Leander." Azriel commented as he stared at Nux and then laughed disdainfully. Nux narrowed his eyes, but before he could act or say anything, Azriel turned towards Zylarith and, "Did you not hear me? Leave." The Vampire Progenitor waved his hand and the Ethereal being was forced out of not only [Core] but Yrniel as well. 'Huh…?' Zylarith, who had now appeared in a completely different place blinked in surprise as he started looking around, even now, he couldn't understand what had happened, however, seeing a world in front of him entirely covered in red mist, he finally understood what Azriel did and before he could even try to go back, "I will not allow you to enter my world again, If I sense your presence inside my world even once, I will kill you." He heard a threat. 'How…?' Zylarith couldn't believe it. He was already in Outer Space…

He was surrounded by the Universal Energy, voice transmission shouldn't be possible since the Universal Energy would devour any form of energy that is used to transmit voice…

Then how…

Zylarith blinked in surprise as he stood still, not daring to take even a single step further. Who knows? That monster might still be watching him. 'What is with this place…?' The Chaos Progenitor was confused. It wasn't just the Vampire Progenitor who scared him, his own son wasn't any different either. He was able to devour the System he created and managed to completely erase his connection with it. The System was deep inside Nux's soul, making any form of changes to it without harming Nux's soul was pretty much impossible, even the beings from the Supreme World of Balance who specialize in matters related to the soul couldn't do something like that. But for Nux, who was barely 1000 years old to do it with such ease…

Zylarith was having a hard time believing this unreal interaction.

"I need to prepare accordingly." He commented. His 'plan' relied on the fact that Nux simply followed his arrangements and successfully achieved what he was destined to, appearance of Azriel was surprising but it was something Zylarith didn't care about before. Now, however, things were different, He couldn't ignore both Azriel and Nux. He needed to update his plans and think of something else. He needed to make Nux realize the importance of the army and how his way of thinking was flawed. Of course, he also needed to keep Azriel in check, he knew that it wouldn't be possible for him to leave Yrniel, now however, he wasn't sure.

Too many things he couldn't explain were happening, especially when it was related to these two monsters, A change of plan was definitely needed. Thinking about it, a solemn look appeared on Zylarith's face as he then disappeared completely, making it almost impossible for any being to sense him. …

Back in [Core], Azriel, who had already sent Zylarith away stared back at Nux, then, he waved his hand once again and Aeliana and his wives disappeared. Nux narrowed his eyes. Azriel stared at him and continued, "Your wives are with me now, what are you going to do?" "…" Nux stared at him in silence and didn't react. His reaction was different from what the ones who knew him would expect, Nux was extremely sensitive when it came to his wives. For him to stay silent when his wives had disappeared… something was definitely wrong. Azriel however, didn't notice that. He simply glanced at Nux and, "Not reacting? Do you want me to kill them?

No, let me change the question, What if I say I will only spare either you or your wives, who would you choose?" "Spare them." Nux's answer was simple. It was a choice he never needed a second to decide. "So you want me to kill you and spare them?" "Yes." "How do you think your wives will react knowing that you died because of them?" "I don't know about them, But you for sure won't have an easy time surviving." Nux laughed. "That's not the point." Azriel shook his head. "Let's say they do manage to kill me and avenge you, then what? They will still be forced to live in a world without you." Azriel then glanced at Nux and, "You have already experienced a life without your wives many times, did you not?

Do you want your wives to live the same life? Or do you think they will have an easier time because they do not love you more than you love them?" "…" Azriel questioned and this time, Nux turned silent. "You do not want what you saw in the Illusion to come true, you do not wish to live a life without your wives, So you decided to let your wives live experience that in your said and it didn't even take you a second to decide that.

How cowardly are you?" Nux narrowed his eyes when he heard those words, "Death was never the scariest part, Nux Leander. It is the loneliness. Death barely lasts for a second, Loneliness, regret, sorrow, pain, all of these last for eternity.

And you, who have already experienced death countless times, should know this better than anyone else.

And to still let your wives experience that torture…

That is indeed quite cowardly of you."

"You have no right to sa-" "Do not bring my daughter into this." Azriel interrupted. "My daughter suffered, not because I decided to sacrifice myself for my own sake, my daughter suffered because I decided to sacrifice myself for her sake. The entirety of Yrniel would have been in ruins if I had stayed with my daughter. In a world where Mana Flow was ruined, no cultivators other than the Progenitors would have survived, you and even the wives you love so much, none of them would have existed. And a little girl who wasn't even 10 years old at that time, would have been blamed for this mass destruction. You think that little girl would have been able to take that pressure? Even if I had acted and forcefully shut everyone up, you think others would have treated the girl, who was basically the reason their world was in this mess, normally?

I sacrificed myself because I wanted my daughter to live a peaceful life. I even postponed avenging my dead wives for her sake. I did everything I could just to make sure my daughter lived well. Don't even try and compare it with your readiness to give away your life to spare your wives, That is plain cowardice."
