"Nux...?"
Shadow called out with an uncertain look on her face. Hearing her tone, the rest of the women noticed Nux’s reaction as well and their smiles faded away.
What was the matter?
Why was Nux reacting like that?
They all thought the same thing.
Felberta, who had been watching Nux from the moment this conversation began, started thinking another thing.
Could it be that... Nux didn’t like depending on Lord Azriel...?
She remembered the contest between the two, regarding who would become the Universe’s God first. It was something they decided centuries ago. Most of them had already forgotten about it, especially since everything that had happened, but...
Knowing Nux, he must still remember.
But at the same time...
She also knew Nux wasn’t someone who would let such a vain contest put the lives of his children in jeopardy.
Then what was it?
Did he not trust Lord Azriel would be able to win against the Four Infinities?
That was a possibility as well.
And it wasn’t just him. Felberta herself had been thinking about it too. Lord Azriel, at his strongest, was the strongest being she had stood in the presence of. The air around him was unnatural, she would never deny that.
She also wouldn’t deny that, given time, he would be able to surpass his previous self.
However...
She had also seen the Four Infinities, and they too were not weak.
Yes, they believed that Lord Azriel, at his prime, was stronger than the Four Infinities, but the source of that information was none other than Zylarith and...
She didn’t know if she could trust that man and form a plan that affected the children’s lives based on that.
Was that it?
Was that what Nux was thinking?
She wondered.
"Nux, what is it?"
Vyriana asked in a strict voice. Nux looked at her, then at Shadow, before finally looking at Azriel—
"We do not have thirty thousand years."
He shook his head.
[What...?]
Azriel’s expression changed. It wasn’t just him, the women seemed confused too.
"Are you saying the children won’t even become Semi Saints in the next thirty years?"
Astaria’s frown deepened.
"That is not it."
Nux, however, shook his head again.
"But this is not about them being Semi Saints."
"Then what is it about?"
Lyriana asked.
Nux paused for a moment and that was when Azriel narrowed his eyes.
[It is the difference between the Flow of Time between your and my Universe.]
He spoke.
Nux looked at the Vampire Progenitor and nodded with a hesitant look on his face.
"What...?"
Shadow’s frown deepened.
"But the Flow of Time between the two Universes has always been constant..."
She commented. Nux looked at her and shook his head.
"That was because resources were being used to stabilize our Universe."
The women’s frowns deepened and Nux explained properly.
"The time in our Universe is different from the Main Universe. There is no connection between them whatsoever, meaning that there is no link between them.
A hundred years here could be one there, a thousand years there could be one here, it is all random."
[Are you saying...]
Azriel’s tone became grave. Nux looked at him and completed his sentence with a nod.
"After these thirty years, once we run out of foreign resources, we have no way to know how long we have. We can either have enough time for you to become an Infinity, or we might not. There is no way to be certain."
And the moment those words were said—
A deafening silence spread all over the place.
No one knew what to say. These were their children’s lives they were talking about and every single person here hated that they had no way out of this mess.
The one who had it the worst was Allura.
The Succubus had already sealed her thoughts, making sure no one else knew what she was thinking and in her mind, she started blaming herself.
How could she not?
She was the reason all of them were in this mess. She was the one who couldn’t control herself, she was the one who became carefree, she was the one who conceived knowingly and hid it from everyone till it was too late.
Had she not done that—
