Chapter 653 How!?!?!?
Chapter 653 How!?!?!?
With the System Down, the biggest problem Nux and his wives faced was… the [Slave Seal].
Yes, just like the [Harem Seal], the [Slave Seal] had now lost its effect.
What did that mean?
All the people that had a [Slave Seal] implanted on them were now free.
This was a big problem.
There was no way to now contact them from wherever Nux wanted.
Neither could they ensure the Slaves' loyalty.
Communication, which was Nux's biggest advantage, was now taken away. From now on, he needs to use the traditional way to communicate with his subjects.
The same was true for trusting his subordinates as well.
He never trusted his subordinates before, he only placed his trust in the Slaves who couldn't go against his command.
However, now, things were different, he needed to filter out.
He needed to understand who was loyal and who was not on his own.
The first step Nux took when his System was down was contacting his wives. Then he brought back Riona, who lived in the Skadi Kingdom, surrounded by the freed slaves that Nux didn't trust.
Bringing her back was the only way Nux and Amaya could ensure Riona's safety.
Of course, with Nawdren by her side, Riona never needed their help. Heck, even without Nawdren, she has been living in the Skadi Kingdom for her entire life. The Slave Seal's disappearance never changed anything for her.
In the Skadi Kingdom, she was not the prey, there, she stood at the apex, she was the predator.
She had her trusted subordinates with her and honestly, getting backstabbed or harmed by the 'freed Slaves' was simply impossible.
But would Riona ever deny the opportunity to spend some time together with Amaya?
Of course not. Especially when her way to communicate with her daughter was not working. Therefore, she didn't resist Nux's decision and came back with him.
Then, Nux decided to send all the servants serving them in the Neutral city away.
He and his wives were the only ones who now lived in the Neutral City, the Largest City in the world.
It might look like something a coward would do, but Nux didn't care.
The safety of his wives was the most important thing to him.
Suddenly, the Neutral City became Nux's and his wives' new base.
After securing their new base, the next problem was the 4 Nations.
The Skyfall was alright, Arvina was there.
She was only an Expert Stage Cultivator, and honestly, Ember and Astaria wanted to bring her back as well, however, Nux was against it.
There were various reasons for it.
He knew things would get awkward once she is here and honestly, Nux wasn't very excited about pointless drama.
He knew he was wrong for ghosting her, but honestly, after what happened between them, thinking that things would return to normal or move forward from here was… foolish.
They would never be normal teacher student no matter how much they tried.
Similarly, they would never get into a relationship as well.
It was not about Arvina alone now, even Nux was against it now.
If he could, he would rather not stay with her...
He already had too many wives now.
He wasn't willing to have more now.
He wanted to give all his love to his current wives.
Also, Arvina was completely safe in the Skyfall Kingdom.
Keep in mind, the Skyfall Kingdom was the strongest Kingdom in this Kingdom, this was even truer when Emperors weren't involved, they had many King Stage Cultivators, and the strongest King Stage Cultivators of them, the Shadow Unit, they were absolutely loyal to the Throne.
Without any Slave Seals.
With them there, no one would dare to touch Arvina and she could easily manage the Kingdom without any problems.
Just like that, the Skadi wasn't the problem as well.
Riona's loyal subordinates took care of that Nation.
However,
The Solid Earth Kingdom and the Woods Dynasty weren't the same.
Nux had enslaved the Duke that held the strongest power in the Solid Earth Kingdom and had ordered him to rule it.
He didn't know that Duke and that man was definitely not loyal to him.
However, the good thing was that the Duke was scared of Nawdren.
And the sight of Nawdren following Nux and his wives with his head bowed, like a loyal servant, left a deep mark in his heart.
And that mark was enough to ensure his loyalty.
Even with the effects of the Slave Seal gone, the Duke didn't dare to do anything reckless.
Of course, he thought of the possibility of Nux dying, however, in the end, he still knew that he wouldn't hold any real power even if that happened.
If Nux dies, Nawdren would hold all the power.
Therefore, for him to stay alive and have a better position in his life, the best solution was not to do anything and kneel in front of anyone, either Nux, or Nawdren, who appears in front of him at a later time.
The ruler of the Woods Dynasty, however, wasn't that bright.
Ellinger Woods, after seeing the sacrifice of his father, Alcimus, Nux allowed him to rule the Woods Dynasty without any problems, however, the death of his father seemed to have a greater effect on Ellinger than expected.
The Ministers of the Woods Dynasty, who didn't know much about how strong Nux actually was only treated Astaria as a real threat had different plans in their mind.
They all had started slowly brainwashing Ellinger, following Nux was useless.
He was just a slightly stronger King Stage Cultivator, he doesn't have the right to rule the world. They didn't have to bow down to him, especially when they won the war because of their protector sacrificed himself.
If anyone deserved to be the Emperor of this world, it was them, the Woods Dynasty.
They should be the ruling Nation, not the Skyfall Kingdom.
With constant feeding of these thoughts in his mind, Ellinger started acting differently. Nux didn't place any restrictions on him, to begin with.
He could do practically whatever he wanted in his Dynast.
Honestly, out of all the current rulers of the 4 Nations, he had the most power, however, his mind was now corrupted.
The Woods Dynasty had started acting differently and this was a problem.
How did Nux and his wives solve this problem?
Simple, Nawdren.
He became the new communicational channel between the 4 Nations and the Neutral City.
He was ordered to run around, exchanging letters, this was the fastest communication channel in the history of this Continent.
A Pseudo Sage Stage Postman.
Even the Main Continent might not have something like that.
Anyways, with Nawdren's appearance, most of the problems were solved, the Solid Earth Kingdom's Duke understood that Nux was very much alive, and stayed loyal, on the other hand, after the firsthand experience of dealing with Nawdren, Ellinger finally understood what he was dealing with.
Let alone him, even the ministers didn't dare to have any useless thoughts anymore.
The communication between the 4 Nations was re-established.
Some of the Slaves had run away, Nux had ordered their hunt down, however, he wasn't very worried.
Most of the problems were solved,
And after a month-long trip to all the Nations, ensuring their loyalty and delivering the letter to them that gave a general future direction, Nawdren, returned to the neutral city.
And as soon as he did.
He paused…
He had seen many things in his life.
Especially after meeting this monster, he has become numb to surprises.
An Emperor who could destroy him as if he was a toy…
It was already surprising enough…
And now this…
11 Emperor Stage Cultivators stood in front of him…
Yes…
11…
11 King Stage Cultivators…
Even when this continent was at its peak, it didn't see 11 Emperor Stage Cultivators.
Heck, the maximum number was 7.
And now…
"W-W-What in the hell happened in a single month…"
He questioned as he glanced at the people standing in front of him.
"Hmmmm, he still isn't completely numb yet, huh," Felberta commented with a small smile on her face.
"Is it really that shocking?" Allura questioned with a playful smile on her face.
The other women glanced at her and rolled their eyes.
Allura chuckled.
"…"
Nawdren, however, wasn't finding any of this to be even slightly amusing…
"H-How did you all become Emperors in such a small amount of time?
That man, I don't know,
He is a monster!
I accepted it!
You lot, however, are not!
Well, you actually are, considering your age and cultivation, but you were definitely all early King Stage Cultivators,
Just how the hell did you all become Emperors!?"
Nawdren shouted.
"Heeeh? Are you sure we were all early King Stage Cultivators?"
Edda questioned with a smile.
"D-Don't try to fool me! I am 100% sure you were all normal King Stage Cultivators!"
Nawdren stood firm.
"How did you do it!?"
He questioned.
"Well, you don't have to know that."
Suddenly, Nux walked forward and replied.
"Yes, don't focus on things like these.
It is not important." Astaria nodded.
Then, she took out her sword and a big smile appeared on her face,
"Get ready now.
We need to spar."
