Chapter 419 - Confession (2/2)
Nik really felt that things might turn for worse if Gojira didn't find something that could suit her taste. So, the best way was to pull Gojira into the pool and allow her to have a healthy hobby that she can only have within the Consciousness Pool. The idea, no doubt, deeply attracted Gojira. Her previous business was just a method to earn money. Now that she was plainly eating profits from her cooperation with Shen Xiu's growing infrastructure, Gojira really understood the plight of humanity. They really weren't that different from beasts after all. With a deep exhalation, Gojira looked at the city before thinking and flying into the air. She distanced herself from the nascent city quite a bit, and only then, her form was replaced by a gargantuan beast that could compete against a skyscraper in height and mountain in thickness—pitch-black scales with glowing blue spikes starting from the tail and running up the spine.
”Ah~ I'll find something for myself after taking a nap in this body... it's been so long.” Gojira's lizard body gently slumped on the ground as the remaining duo looked at each other, tongue-tied. ”Well... this could work.” Nik concentrated hard, and under Xue Yin's widened gaze, a pair of violet furry ears appeared on top of Nik's head, and a thick, fluffy, purple tail elongated from his tailbone.
”Cuttteeee!” Xue Yin instantly jumped and hugged Nik tightly before looking up and focusing on the ear. Her arms immediately touched the pair of extra ears, but they didn't feel natural, much to Xue Yin's disappointment. Sensing this, Nik smiled and consoled softly, ”This is just the first experiment. Maybe, I'll fail. But this would be worth a try.” Xue Yin couldn't help but agree. This time, as Gojira snored, Nik, and Xue Yin didn't divert their attention and focused on creating the city. She was deeply affected by the method of using switches to control the lighting of the city that Nik implanted. Since this consciousness pool was basically created to innovate, Nik knew that anyone could re-create an air-conditioner or a tube light with a mere thought. So, the switches at the appropriate place would help create uniformity.
Finally, Nik held the highest authority within this world, and he could, in fact, implement multiple rules. For instance, the partners may not be able to control the light and heat element of this world and would have to depend on switches and knobs. But this would only be true for the central city. The rest of this unlimited world would naturally become the canvas of the girls' innovation.
Meanwhile, Nik in the real world accompanied Asami before joining up with Klas and Ryu'er to move back to the estate. Ryu'er was living within the estate alongside Korra. But Korra had her own commitments after the classes and hurried to the underground battle to warm up against Rank 4 spirit masters and try her luck against Rank 5.
Today, most of Nik's evening was spent with Ryu'er. It was something the petite monster didn't even ever dream of as Nik accompanied her in her room while looking around curiously. ”I-I still have to decorate this place.” Ryu'er defended herself when she also observed the fact that her abode was rather plain to look at. Shaking his head, Nik sat on the edge of the bed and requested Ryu'er to sit. Seeing Ryu'er walk towards him with a deep blush, Nik's smile widened, and he waggled his brows suggestively before dashing all of her hopes by pointing at the opposite point of the bed.
With a soft sigh, Ryu'er sat across Nik. She was keenly aware of the topic Nik would like to explore, and it made her heart thump. Ryu'er gulped softly when Nik lowered his head and whispered his apology.
”Sorry. Things grew weird between us due to the relationship between your mother and me. I really hope that I can continue to teach you.” Ryu'er wasn't Sayako that a single holy session with both mother-daughter pair could resolve the issue. Even if Ryu'er felt like a bad-ass girl, Nik had been naturally aware of how sensible Ryu'er is and how such sensibility can become fragile at some moments.
”Eh?” Ryu'er's lips parted for a moment as Nik smiled and continued. He didn't decrease the distance between them and stated softly, ”Um, in reality, our relationship won't change that much. I will still teach you the things that suite your needs and help you at every—”
By now, Ryu'er had already stopped listening. Within her mind, Gojira's cackles resounded and haunted her poor self as the thought of Nik plowing her mother, to which, her moans last night left plenty of evidence, shook her heart once again. Of course, Ryu'er did not like it one bit. All things said and done; she wanted Nik for herself. He had showcased his immeasurable abilities by taming her mother and as a hybrid with talents far surpassing the Empress, wasn't it Ryu'er's right to take Nik for herself.
”And, I really hope that you don't feel—”
”No!”
Ryu'er almost snarled with her clenched jaws as she bared her canines against Nik for the first time. A wild aura surged around her, which made her slightly shabby locks of hair float and exposed her more than a dangerous gaze.
”I-”
She breathed deeply and jumped straight at Nik's face.
”I'll make you forget, mom!”
