Chapter 1176 A Darkness That Belonged Only To Her


    It took the Outer God five minutes to finally regain itsposure.


    ''Fortunately, all is not lost,'' Nyathotep said as it looked at the ck Scales of Eternity that covered its hand. All of Nyathotep''s clones were connected to it, so anything that belonged to them also belonged to it.


    When they died, their skills, abilities, and anything in their possession would return to it, including the Pir of Eternity that was now in its hands.


    "I''ll let you live a little while longer," Nyathotep said hatefully. "I have onest clone, but it is enough to continue with my n."


    As much as the Outer God wanted to take the Golden Anchor from Eiko, allowing him to have a hold over two Pirs of Eternity, it was unable to do that at this time.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Even if its real body were to return to where the Baby Slime was currently at, it would be unable to unleash its full strength.


    It still didn''t know how Eiko was able to momentarily hold its body in ce and kill it with Poseidon''s overwhelming beam attack.


    For the time being, it didn''t n on attacking the Baby Slime until it figured out the trick she was using against it.


    Since it was no longer in the mood to y with the Alliance, it once again decided to retreat, heading further West.


    Nyathotep would make its stand at itsst stronghold, waiting for itsst clone to finish thest step for its preparation.


    As long as its clone seeded in its task, it would be able to wash away all its losses and finally turn the situation around, making the entirety of the world submit to its will.


    —————————


    "The Outer God is retreating!" One of the Dragon Borns shouted when the countless waves of Abominations started to retreat like a tide.


    The sound of countless cheers reverberated in the surroundings, thinking that they had once again emerged victorious in battle.


    Even so, the leaders of the Alliance, especially the Founder of the Divine Army of Light, couldn''t help but think that something was very wrong with their victory.


    They had prepared a strategy to prevent the massive loss of lives on their side, and they had seeded in implementing it.


    However, they couldn''t shake the feeling that their victory was hollow.


    It was as if they didn''t win because of their own efforts, but because Nyathotep decided to call it quits and fight another day.


    Of course, they had no reason to believe that it was true because it was only a feeling.


    Even so, they didn''t say anything, not wanting to possibly dampen the morale of the members of the Alliance, who were cheering for their second victory.

    Meanwhile, in Espoir Frieden…


    Valerie sat on a swing while lightly rubbing her abdomen. There was yet to be a noticeable bump to it, which would have shown that she was pregnant.


    But she could feel it.


    She could feel the life growing inside of her.


    For some reason, she didn''t feel scared. In fact, she felt as if she had been born to give birth to the child in her womb.


    Ali and Ari were right beside her, paying close attention to the faint smile on their Mistress'' face.


    "Can you tell me more about him, Ari?" Valerie asked her handmaiden, who still remembered the father of her child.


    "I''ve told you all I know about him, Valerie," Ari replied helplessly. "But if you really want to know, I will tell you the things that only I know about him."


    Valerie nodded happily as she waited for Ari to tell her the things that she still hadn''t told her about Lux.


    Ali''s ears also perked up because, ording to her sister, she held a very special ce in Lux''s heart as well.


    Ari even said that, out of all of the Dragons who were part of Lux''s harem, he treated Ali differently, and she treated him with a different kind of love that was unique only to her.


    Ten minutester, Valerie''s and Ali''s faces had be as red as tomatoes after Ari finished talking.


    "There''s more where that camefrom." Ari patted her chest with a smile. "Just so you know, Lux and I are very adventurous. We tried many things, and each time, he would teach me something new. It made me realize howcking my knowledge was when it came to the arts of lovemaking."


    "A-Ari, are you sure you''re telling the truth?" Valerie asked as the redness of her face became a shade deeper. "Does he make you do all of those things?"


    "I was the one who wanted him to do all those things to me, Valerie," Ari replied. "I just didn''t expect that I would like it so much. That time when he tied me up with a rope, rendering me helpless as he did it to me, was simply out of this world…"


    "Okay, you can stop now," Ali lightly pinched her sister''s ear, making Ari stop talking. "I can''t believe you''re this wild, Ari. Don''t you know the meaning of moderation?"


    Ari smiled because this was the word that Lux always said to her.


    "Let''s do things in moderation. I don''t want to hurt you, Ari."


    Those were the words that he told her on the first night that they experiment with this new way of making love.


    It made Ari feel loved, and perhaps because of this, she didn''t mind doing the things that Lux''s other lovers would never dare to do.


    She had allowed herself to take that extra mile to reach greater heights so that her other sisters would be safe from the darkness that resided inside Lux''s heart.


    A darkness that belonged only to her, making her feel special in her own way.


    Suddenly, the three sensed a presence entering their residence, making them stop discussing the things that Ari had shared with them.


    "So, the three of you are here," Aurelia said with a smile. "I thought that you were going to the garden to view the flowers today, Valerie."


    "That was my original n, but I feltzy and decided to just stay here and take it easy," Valerie stated. "Where have you been, Aur?" The original appearance of this chapter can be found at ??v€l?1n.


    To ensure that no one would know Aurelia''s true gender, Valerie, Ali, and Ari made sure to call her Aur anytime and anywhere, even if they thought that no one was spying on them.


    "I looked for Lady Hereswith to ask her about Lux''s situation," Aurelia replied. "She can vaguely tell where he is right now."


    "And where is he right now?"


    "He''s no longer in the Abyss, but he''s still not in our world just yet. Perhaps, he is traveling a path that will lead him back here."


    Valerie smiled sweetly as she once again touched her abdomen.


    "I want to see him," Valerie said softly. "I want to see the person who I asked to make it possible for me to give birth to his child."


    "You will see him," Aurelia replied. "Definitely."


    Aurelia also wanted to see Lux so badly. She didn''t know if he seeded in saving Aurora, or if he was forced to leave the Abyss in order to escape Daniel.


    But one thing was certain. Once she saw him again, she would tell him the good news that he would soon be a father of two.


    Aurelia was even looking forward to seeing the expression on his face once he heard the news, making her wish that her beloved could arrive back in their world as fast as he possibly could.
