995 We are not your enemies
"Even if you let me go and don't do anything, after revealing all my secrets like this, do you think they would do the same?
Do you think they would let me live?"
Nux questioned as he glanced at all the world leaders.
His worries were clear and his question might have offended most of the world leaders as well, however, deep down, they all knew, they crave Nux's powers, it won't be a lie to say that they were curious about his past, and his powers and...
If they could use this power as their own...
The leaders knew it better...
Even if they didn't do it, others would, then... then why don't they do it on their own?
Yes, once Vyriana leaves, Nux and his wives would become a hot target in the eyes of these leaders and would not just be a hunt to get Nux, it would be a race.
A race between Divine Stage Cultivators, a race where the strongest would fight for a Great Sage, and being the troffee in this battle was the last thing Nux wanted right now.
He was disgusted when he saw the world leaders' eyes, however, he knew it was not their fault either. The 'price' shown to them was just too powerful, it was not just strengthening themselves, it meant strengthening everyone around them, their wives, their children, their loyal retainers.
An opportunity to create a force so strong that even the Ancestral Order would lose out in comparison, who would possibly resist such temptation?
The world leaders weren't to blame...
If Nux had to blame someone, it would be this cloaked woman standing in front of him.
However, the woman he wanted to blame simply smiled when she heard his words, then, she glanced at the world leaders once and,
"That is what you are worried about?"
She questioned.
The easiness in her tone showed how unbothered she was. It was as if she didn't put these so-called 'world leaders' in her eyes at all.
"See? This is the problem here.
You do not understand Nux.
You do not understand how the Order works.
You do not understand how the Order views the world.
You do not understand the extent of strength the Order possesses.
The 'problem', you are so concerned about, in our eyes, it is nothing but child's play.
You are worried that they would hunt you down, right?"
Vyriana questioned.
Then, she raised her right hand and,
*Snap*
She snapped her fingers, and the red crystal attached to her ring shined brightly, then, the light spread to the entire room, blinding every single person other than Nux, his wives, and Vyriana.
2 seconds later, the light disappeared and when Nux's eyes fell on the 'World Leaders' around him, his eyes widened in absolute horror.
All the world leaders, the Peak Divine Stage Cultivators, the beings who were feared by all, the beings who were strong enough to rule around 50 other Divine Stage Cultivators and had absolute control over their respective continents,
With just a snap of Vyriana's finger, all those beings were now lying on the floor, unconscious.
The Vampire King, the Dragon Lord, the Elf Queen, none were spared.
"Alright, none of them would remember anything they saw or heard ever since I came here after they wake up." Vyriana spoke in an unbothered tone.
Nux, who heard his question was horrified.
This woman just neutralized more than 20 Divine Stage Cultivators and the people around them and... she wasn't even tired...
"Heh."
Suddenly, Nux laughed out loud.
Seeing this scene in front of him, all the 'plans' that were forming in his mind cleared up.
He knew he was facing an unfathomable being... but now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes... he finally realized what sort of monster was he facing...
Heck, even the so-called world leaders didn't know who they were facing, Nux laughed when he recalled his mother-in-law's warning.
'Even if we all, my brother and the Dragon Lord included, attack her together, she is strong enough to suppress us within 5 seconds.'
5 Seconds?
'5 Seconds my ass.' Nux couldn't help but curse in his head.
The world leaders had no fucking clue. He saw it with his own eyes, this woman used an artifact, which meant, what she used what not her own strength, and seeing how she was absolutely fine even after using such a powerful artifact,
Nux was sure.
Her 'attack' would have been much more horrifying compared to the artifact's attack. This woman...
Let alone 5 seconds, the world leaders wouldn't even last a second against her.
It was no battle,
It was absolute suppression no different than a normal Divine Stage Cultivator suppressing mortals.
This woman, she could kill all the people present in this venue, no, fuck the venue, she could kill all the people present in this entire continent in one move, and not a single being would live to tell the tale of this story.
She was in a league of her own.
Nux finally realized what this woman was talking about.
His ability was good and all, it was amazing and if one of the leaders got their hands on it, it might help them gather a stronger force, however, no matter what happens,
A bunch of ants were still that,
Ants.
In the eyes of the Ancestral Order, numbers didn't matter.
If they decided to remove a variable or act against a so- called 'world level power, then no matter how strong or how well prepared that power is, they would be destroyed without any resistance, just like how these leaders were all lying on the ground, helpless, unconscious, and defeated.
The Order might be interested in his powers, but deep down, they had an unapparelled confidence, a confidence that no matter what, he would never be a threat to them.
"Does this solve your problem now? As I said, Nux Leander, the Order does not wish to harm you.
We are not your enemies."
