Chapter 2235: Aren’t you glad you all followed me here?
"Heh."
Suddenly, Sharnoth grinned.
Making the rest of the women around her frown in confusion, the Chaos Heir, however, did not care—her grin only widened even further to the point her face distorted and cracks began to appear on her facial skin and—
"To think there will be a day when weaklings like you would dare to surround and bully... me.
Oh, how low have I fallen~"
She spoke as she stared at the women around her, her crimson eyes flaring strongly, and the instant the women saw her reaction, they understood it.
’Normal’ Sharnoth was no longer with them—
She had let the ’crazy one’ take over.
"I must make things right, shouldn’t I?"
Sharnoth spoke, her grin stretching even wider as she began measuring the women. For a moment, the women too felt intimidated by her gaze. After all, they knew how strong Sharnoth was, and while the ’normal Sharnoth’ still had control over herself... this one was...
Anything could happen.
But...
As soon as that thought appeared in their heads, it disappeared.
This was about Nux. There was no way they would get intimidated here.
"Set things right? And how do you plan on doing that?"
Aeliana asked, her crimson eyes beginning to shine as well.
"How else? I will teach all of you your place."
Sharnoth answered, her eyes glowing even stronger.
This... this was fun.
After all, in her mind, she knew about the connection. She knew these women could not be killed as long as they were in this Universe, and that meant...
They were toys who wouldn’t break anytime soon.
But...
"Teach us... our place...?"
Things weren’t as easy as Sharnoth was expecting, especially when she was dealing with women just as crazy as her—if not more.
"You... are going to show us... our place?"
Vyriana raised an eyebrow, but Sharnoth just tilted her head.
"Why not?
You wanted to face me anyway, did you not?
I am giving you the chance now. Or are you too scared?"
The Chaos Heir taunted the Dragon, but before the Dragon could give in to the taunt and participate in the Eternal’s game—
"Are you suggesting that you are going to use your strength to suppress us?"
Amaya raised her eyebrow, and in an instant, Sharnoth jumped at those words.
"Don’t be naïve, girl."
She answered.
"The entire Universe revolves around strength. I lost what I cherished because I was weak. You..."
Her crimson eyes then darkened and—
"You should try experiencing the same."
Saying those words, Sharnoth stood up. Her physical body felt strange and weak for some reason, so she began shedding her skin to abandon her body.
Yes, this was no longer just a mere... joke.
It was going to turn into a full-grown confrontation—
Or at least... that was what Sharnoth thought.
"Take this as a lesson,
A lesson that teaches you your place, a lesson that...
You shouldn’t stand up to and surround your betters just because you have numbers, because even a horde do—"
Before Sharnoth could even complete her words—
"So I am right to assume that strength and means define the results, correct?"
Amaya asked calmly.
"Yes, you have learned well, but don’t think this—"
Sharnoth answered with a grin. She didn’t seem in any particular hurry since she wanted to enjoy it but—
"So as long as we make it so Nux never sees you again, you won’t find it unfair and will accept your defeat, yes?"
"Hah?"
Sharnoth paused, then she laughed.
"As if you can—"
"Just answer my question."
Amaya interrupted with a light smile. Sharnoth momentarily frowned.
This...
This wasn’t fun at all.
The woman was asking too many questions! It annoyed her!
BUT—
Sharnoth also knew that the more arrogant the enemy, the more... joyful it is to crush them. Seeing this arrogant woman’s fall would be quite fun indeed~
With that thought in her mind—
"Yes—"
The Chaos Heir tried to answer but then—
"Don’t be foolish."
She herself changed her answer as the cracks on her face began to recover. This, however, did not last long. Her eyes, that had just lost their light, intensified again and—
"What are you doing?"
Sharnoth asked out loud, and once again, the cracks began to heal and her frown disappeared.
"They are his wives. Hurting them would hurt hi—"
"I am only teaching them a lesso—"
"You have no right to do tha—"
"I have every right to do whatever I want because I am stro—"
Sharnoth began talking... in a strange manner. To others, it would seem she had lost her mind, but the women could see it.
This was the ’normal Sharnoth’ and ’crazy Sharnoth’ fighting with each other, forcefully taking over the body and interrupting the other.
Whenever ’normal Sharnoth’ took over, her voice became calmer and the cracks on her face started to heal, but as soon as the crazy one took over, the voice became heavier, the cracks began to widen, and the eyes... they shone more intensely.
This continued, the two personalities going at each other, but then—
"Not stronger than me."
The ’normal Sharnoth’ replied, and for an instant—
Sharnoth did not speak, but the rest of the women could sense the tension in the air rising.
This time, as the crazy Sharnoth took over, she did not smile. Neither did the skin crack. Instead—
In a much heavier voice than before—
"What...?"
She asked, as she once again let the normal Sharnoth take over.
"I said, you are not stronger than me."
Normal Sharnoth did not back down either.
"And what gave you that confidence?"
Crazy Sharnoth laughed as she then raised her voice.
"I am the one who fights our battles because I am the stronger one. How is that hard to und—"
"You are stronger when you fight other opponents, but in the battle between the two of us...
You cannot win."
Normal Sharnoth answered calmly.
"In what world..."
Crazy Sharnoth couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
"If the two of us fought, you would los—"
She tried to answer, but once again—
"I ’would’ lose if we faced each other in two different bodies, but that cannot happen. As long as we share the same body, I can take over whenever I desire—just like you.
You can never win unless you find a way to make me disappear—permanently."
Normal Sharnoth answered, and finally, the crazy one began to realize it.
"...Why are you doing this?"
She asked.
"I am fighting for us."
"This is not a fight."
Normal Sharnoth answered. She then turned towards the women and—
"They are not our enemies."
"They tried to suppress you."
"They do not have to try. Nux is their husband. They have all the right over him—more than I can ever have on hi—"
"But you can just take him away after you defeat them al—"
"No."
Normal Sharnoth shook her head. Then, her gaze hardened and—
"You should leave now. You said you only wanted to appear during a fight or when Vexarion’s around.
Nothing’s happening yet.
As for my ’turn’..."
Normal Sharnoth glanced at the women and—
"I will let them decide how they want i—"
"Wait."
Before normal Sharnoth could complete, the crazy one raised her voice one last time.
"Your turn...?"
She narrowed her eyes, and the normal Sharnoth—
"Huh...?"
She blinked in surprise.
"Our turn."
Crazy Sharnoth corrected, but normal Sharnoth stood strong.
"What are you talking about? This is not about sparring with Nux. You can enjoy that all for yourself. This is not a figh—"
"He attacked you again and again, sending those strange shivers throughout your body that weakened you—
It was a fight.
Look at our body’s state after you lost. You cannot even stand properly!
So from now on, I will fight instead."
Crazy Sharnoth declared, but in an instant—
"Don’t be absurd!"
Normal Sharnoth raised her voice. This time, her eyes flared much more strongly and—
"Do not go back on your words by twisting the facts! This is not a battle!"
"I am not twisting my words! You were attacked and you do not even realize it!"
"Have you lost your min—"
"You have lost your mind!!"
"No you—"
"..."
"..."
As the ’fight’ between the two intensified, the rest of the women present here... they just stared at her in silence, unable to process what was happening to the woman, even though they knew exactly what the problem was.
And of course, even though they knew the solution, none of them said it out loud. That would be foolish.
They had come here to gain, not to lose.
Instead,
The women just sat in silence, observing everything that was happening with amused looks on their faces—especially Allura.
The succubus turned towards the rest of her sisters, her purple eyes shining brightly in strong amusement.
"See? I told you this would be fun, didn’t I?
Aren’t you glad you all followed me here?"
She obviously did not expect this when she came here, but she was definitely enjoying this.
