Chapter 393: News of his Return (2/2)
Lyra, Liam and Krond nodded and vacated the room.
As soon as the three left, the three women's excitement upon hearing the news exploded.
However, they're all stopped by Nysia's menacing gaze. With her hands clasped together, she started talking with the three about the purpose why she asked them to stay behind.
”What do you think? Have you all decided? Leianne, we're the reason your father died, think about this carefully. Elise, although Julian hadn't laid a hand on you, you're still a married woman and someone with the most experience about this kind of matter between the three of you. And Lunaria, your mother, I'm sure she's against you entering a relationship with someone already married. Besides, has your fear in him finally disappeared?”
”What's past is past. At that time, that's the only choice. Otherwise, my ambitious father would've been at the other side of the fence, scheming and fighting against us. I thought about it carefully. My ambition will definitely be realized through him. Moreover, I… I can't deny that I'm already drawn towards him. More so than the attraction I had towards him back then.” Leianne answered while grasping onto a sphere that contained an Ultimate Metagen she found in one of her father's secret treasury. Its design matches her current Specialized Metagen. She knew that it was something her father prepared for her… but like she said, past is past. His father's ambition led to his doom.
True, she somewhat held a grudge towards Nysia and Daisuke before but it passed soon enough. Whenever his Incarnation was in this world, Daisuke would often look for her, spending time with her while talking about everything, even about her father. Daisuke somewhat admired him after all. He's a master schemer, if not for his insufficient strength and running into Daisuke, his ambition would've been realized.
”Julian… He's a pitiful man. He took me as a wife but never touched me. I'm thankful to him for that. I managed to preserve my purity. About Daisuke, at first, I was only riding that joke he uttered… Although he's my ideal man, he's already married to you and I'm already married to someone else… I admit I struggled to make a choice. Indulging in a real romance with someone I, myself, chose… That's something I want to experience. Furthermore, despite being worlds apart, through his Incarnation, he would always appear at the moment that I need his company. Whether those were coincidence or not, I have no idea.” Elise had a troubled expression at first but it was soon replaced by a clear smile on her face when she started talking about Daisuke.
”You're right. Mother is advising me not to…. Even more so after she found out that there's not only you who's tied to him… But I need to create my own path, I can't stay under my mother's umbrella. Although I'm grateful for her thoughts about my future, she's unaware of how great a man he is… His decisiveness, commitment and reliability are remarkable. I'm certain that none of us will be sidelined even if there's already a line of women following him.” With determination in her eyes, Lunaria straightened her back and puffed out her chest as she looked over the women in the same room.
”I see. You three already have your decisions. Let's wait for Danae before I tell you his message to all four of you before he arrives tomorrow.”
Hearing their answers, Nysia was satisfied. She's advocating for their inclusion but if they decide based on the benefits they will receive, she will advise Daisuke not to take them in the end. In her eyes, her husband's true strength lies not only in his overwhelming Energy Control and various abilities but also in the women surrounding him who he completely trusts.
That's why she wanted to make sure that what these women feel for him are genuine.

”Look, the Door is about to break… Grandpa, he's successful!” Erin excitedly shouted.
Seeing Erin that excited, I couldn't help but smile at it. That's her only immediate family who raised her, it's only natural for her to be happy for him.
Due to her shout, everyone stopped at what they're doing to look up and like Erin exclaimed, the Door of Transcendence has started to break into numerous shards before dropping down on the ground.
Accompanied by a powerful surge of Brute Energy, the old man's figure appeared when the blinding light subsided, his Crown and Pillars present.
Upon closer observation, not only his aura changed to that of a Transcendent but also he appeared younger. If he's a certified old man before, he now appeared like someone in the later stages of being a middle-aged man, he still looked old but at least, his hair switched back to its previous color, the same hair color as Erin.
It has been a day since his Transcendent Trials started. Although it took longer than expected, it's still within the estimated time.
Now that he's successful… We're finally done with this world. Perhaps we will come back in the future for that End of the World's Cliff or visit Erin and Avelin's homeworld.
For now, we still have a lot of worlds to save. I already told Nysia the estimated time for when we will go there.
Those Dark World Transcendents will be in for a horrific surprise. They have no idea that their last day of terrorizing that world is fast approaching.
