"If that happened, Transcendent wouldn't be our limit anymore.
All of that just by providing his information to the people who want it.
There is no easier way out."
Faelara's smile widened, liking her newest plan more and more.
"Mother…"
Vulpiana called out. Faelara glanced at her daughter, and Vulpiana continued,
"Would… a Supreme World take in our entire race? I was under the impression that worlds usually do not have such resources. Even if the Supreme Worlds do have them, would they spend it on us?"
Vulpiana didn't know much about world-level politics, but she had learned a few things by staying with Nux and his wives.
"They do not have to take in our entire race."
Faelara stared at her daughter and,
"They only need to take in the two of us."
"W-What…?"
Vulpiana's expression changed.
"It was never about everyone else, Faelara.
We aren't in the position to help everyone out. I only care about you and myself."
"But… if we join Nux and with Lord Azriel in the mix…"
"Don't be foolish."
Faelara shook her head.
"They are doomed."
She spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"Vul, the universe is after Nux. How long do you think it would take for the Supreme World to notice him?
And once they do, I assure you they won't end up as allies.
The Supreme Worlds would want to peek into Nux's secrets and will go to any lengths to do that. Targeting his wives would be their first thought, and once that happens, Nux will never forgive them.
It will be a battle between the Supreme Worlds and Nux.
Even if I consider we add Azriel into the equation, consider he helped the Progenitor to deal with a force sent by a High-Level World and has the capability of killing Transcendents in seconds,
I assume he is an Eternal, one of the stronger Eternals in the universe.
But…
That's it."
Faelara shrugged.
"No matter how strong Azriel is, he won't be able to stand against Supreme-Level Worlds. Not to mention that man is weak. He is barely keeping his existence intact."
"What…?"
Vulpiana's expression changed.
"Why else do you think he 'sleeps' most of the time? Because he wants to? I do not know what it is, but something ties him down, something that holds him back, something the Supreme Worlds can find very quickly if they wish to."
Faelara stared at her daughter and,
"Vul, it's a battle against Supreme Worlds.
It is hopeless.
Why do you think I gave up when I was so close to getting what I wanted?
Yes, Nux's talent and whatever the source of his power is, it is enticing, but the problem is that it is too enticing.
Even if I get my hands on it, I will end up standing against the Supreme Worlds in one way or another, and in no world would that end up well for me.
Supreme Worlds are just that strong. They are called Supreme for a reason. Even now, if we stand together with Nux, we will eventually be facing the Supreme Worlds, and that will be the end of us.
It is a choice between Nux and the Supreme Worlds.
Even a child would know where to place his bets, Vul."
"What if… the Supreme Worlds never find out about Nux?"
Vulpiana questioned. Faelara, however, just stared at her daughter with a deadpan look on her face.
"Do you think that's possible?"
She questioned directly.
"…"
Vulpiana turned silent.
"That man destroyed five Middle-Level Worlds for a woman. Who is to say he wouldn't be attracted to another woman in the future and do something even bolder next?
One day or another, he will attract their attention, and once he does, they will find out who he is.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they are already looking for him."
"…"
Once again, Vulpiana couldn't come up with a retort.
"We do not have much time, Vul.
We need to get to them before what we have is of importance. Once they know what we know, we will have no value."
Faelara spoke in an urgent tone.
"What if… the Supreme Worlds just get the information from us and get rid of us?"
Vulpiana questioned.
"That is possible. I will not deny that."
Faelara nodded.
"For that, I have my final bargaining chip."
"What?"
Vulpiana leaned forward.
"It is the two of us."
"The two of us…?"
"Our Laws.
Vul, you have power over Time.
I have power over Space.
I aim to attract their attention using these powers.
Time and Space have always been complex powers, Vul.
I am not saying the Supreme Worlds won't have access to these powers, but I believe our Laws are much more valuable.
Enough for them to consider taking us in."
Then, a smile appeared on Faelara's face and,
"What's better?
We do not have a Progenitor Blood. None of us in our race do. There is no 'Progenitor' for our race. Our Progenitor died, and our world that could give birth to the next Progenitor was destroyed.
So the Supreme Worlds cannot get their hands on Progenitor Blood to give birth to a new race that is anchored to their world.
They will only have us, and if we swear our loyalty to them while also giving them the information they will find very interesting,
They will have no reason to refuse.
Even if they try to read our minds or use any other method to ensure our loyalty, once they find out we have no ulterior motives other than wanting to get stronger, we will have a clear path ahead of us."
Faelara's eyes shined,
"It will be a new journey altogether, Vul.
A journey that will lead us to the very top,
A journey that will change our fate."
Faelara revealed everything as she stared at her daughter, and Vulpiana…
She was overwhelmed.
"And what if… we fail?"
The daughter fox questioned.
"If we fail, we die."
Faelara shrugged.
"But if we don't do anything, we die as well.
After all, Nux won't leave you behind. Your connection with Nux will bring the Supreme Worlds to you, and then to me.
And at that time, we will be in front of them as enemies.
That's a certain death, and my path is a probable death where the other result is lifelong glory and power.
The choice should be very clear, my daughter."
