Chapter 2300: A Primordial Incubus.
Chapter 2300: A Primordial Incubus.
A soft, warm, and oddly calming light spread in the room and a small figure took shape.
A baby boy.
Nux looked at him, he looked at the little thing in front of him, the thing that, instead of crying like children do, was looking around the room, scanning everything, every person around him, before his big eyes finally rested on him.
And the moment their eyes met—
Time around him came to a complete halt.
To the women, Nux seemed frozen. Like one of the Infinities fighting could die right now and the other could be in a near-death state, giving Nux the full chance to get rid of two enemies at the same time, and he still wouldn’t move.
It was as if he had... completely lost all his senses.
And how could he not?
The women were the same too, although they weren’t as overwhelmed as Nux was, but no matter what they said or did, the little thing floating in the air in front of them was their child too.
They felt this strong urge to extend their hands and pull him into their embrace but—
They did not.
This was all new for them, a magical moment like this. They didn’t wish to ruin it by doing something forcefully, they would let the child do what he wants and, at the same time, enjoy Nux’s reaction.
"The Universe’s enemy, they say~"
Aisha couldn’t help but crack a joke, staring at Nux, looking at his child with this... foolish look on his face.
The rest of the women smiled, even Amaya was no different.
"I wonder how the people of the Universe would react if they saw him like this."
Felberta questioned with a playful smirk and just then—
"We will know soon enough."
They heard these amused, scheming words and in an instant—
The women turned to a particular direction and saw... Edda.
The woman grinned and winked at the women and that reaction alone made the rest of the women wary.
"You..."
Vyriana called out, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"Are you recording?"
She questioned directly and the moment Edda’s grin widened even further, the women got the answer.
"Since when?"
Astaria asked and Edda just shrugged—
"Since we came here."
Then Edda’s grin became even more mischievous as she stared at all the women around him and—
"Don’t worry, I captured your reactions too.
It will be fun~"
"You..."
Ember clenched her fists, trying to hold back.
Vyriana however didn’t even try, she rushed towards Edda, prepared to make her delete the recording, at least hers, even if it meant she needed to use force but...
The moment Vyriana was about to grab her,
"Hehek~"
A cute, unbearably adorable laugh echoed through the room, the women all turned around and saw the child extending his little arms towards his father.
And the moment that happened, Nux, who was lost in his own world, not moving even when the women joked around him, suddenly came out of his reverie and rushed towards his child as if, if he lost this moment, he would lose everything.
The next instant, the baby was already in his embrace and Nux—
He held him so delicately, as if he was the most precious thing in the world.
In response, the baby too held Nux’s finger with his small hand, a grip so small, yet so... strong that Nux...
He felt overwhelmed, this time even more strongly. He couldn’t move his eyes away from the child’s little hand that was holding his finger.
The sight was so... precious that he burned it into his memory, as strongly as he could.
The baby too—
"H-He’s here."
Finally, Nux spoke, his voice cracking. He could feel a lump forming inside his throat. The child in his arms made him feel emotions he had never felt before.
Love, care, responsibility, of course, these were all the emotions he felt for his wives too, but now—
It felt different.
Now it felt... even stronger.
Without thinking, Nux slowly kissed the child’s forehead, then he slowly looked at Allura, who was smiling at him in her exhausted state. Honestly, she could have Shadow or Nux help her recover her fatigue, but she wanted this moment to be as natural as possible.
She wanted to hold her baby in her tired arms, then stick him close to her tired body.
And that was exactly what she did, the moment Nux came to her, she slowly took the baby and placed him on her breasts.
"Hehek~"
The baby laughed again.
Just like his father, he could sense his mother too and the moment he was in his mother’s embrace, the safest place for the child to be—
He yawned and...
And then he rested his big head on Allura’s breasts and closed his eyes.
Yes, he started sleeping.
"He’s tired already?"
Thyra raised her eyebrow.
"It wasn’t just Allura who was under the strain, he was as well."
Shadow answered. The women looked at her and the Universe’s Goddess explained—
"This is the first time it has happened, the Universe doesn’t know how to make it ’comfortable’, so while Nux’s subconscious is strong enough to ensure the child’s safety, it still cannot make the entire process flow with ease, at least not on the first attempt. After all, there was nothing much to ’experiment’ on."
The women nodded at those words.
They watched the baby sleeping in Allura’s arms with gentle smiles on their faces, then they looked at Allura who had a ridiculously beautiful smile on her face, so gentle and fresh that even when she wasn’t trying to charm anyone, her charm still oozed out.
"He’s beautiful."
Skyla commented, looking at the baby from close with a tilted head.
"Congratulations."
Felberta looked at Allura and smiled gently, Allura nodded back. The rest of the women walked closer as well, none of them touched the baby, he was exhausted, so it was better for him to sleep and none of them wished to disturb him.
Yes, like Nux, they too were being extra delicate with him.
"Thank you."
Allura nodded with a weak smile.
"He really is beautiful, huh~"
Aisha commented as well, staring at the baby.
She had already seen his eyes, they were... captivating.
His ears were slightly pointed, not fully human. Tiny, delicate horns, that were only small bumps for now, were resting above his head. Behind him was a small tail that seemed like it still hadn’t formed properly yet.
*Picture*
"Indeed."
Eisheth nodded as well.
Like his mother, the baby too had a strong air of charm around him, it was different from the usual Incubus charm, but at the same time it was quite similar as well. Eisheth couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
So in her confusion, she turned towards Nux and—
"So... what is he?"
She questioned directly. The rest of the women wanted to know as well.
They had asked this before, Nux avoided that question the last time, but now the women won’t allow it. Nux too wasn’t in his right mind to play such games.
His eyes were still on his sleeping child, so without even looking at Eisheth, he answered her question.
"He is an Incubus.
A Primordial Incubus."
"A... Primordial Incubus?"
Eisheth frowned in confusion.
It wasn’t just her, the rest of the women were the same. If it was a few centuries ago, they would have been surprised, they would have considered it strong.
A Primordial-level bloodline, back when they were in Yrniel, that indeed had a good ring to it. It felt... powerful.
But now...
A Primordial-level bloodline felt weak, especially when every single one of them had a Progenitor-level bloodline.
The women couldn’t understand how a child with a Succubus Progenitor as his mother and a... literal Universe as a father could be a mere... Primordial Incubus.
But the women didn’t say it out loud.
This was a happy moment, they did not wish to ruin it.
So Eisheth just nodded and asked a simple question—
"So how strong is his Primordial blood? A High-Level World, I expect?"
If he was a Primordial-level being, at the very least, he should be as strong as a Primordial being from a High-Level World, no?
At that question, however, Nux turned towards Eisheth with a frown.
"A High-Level World?"
He tilted his head, confused. Soon however, he realized what he had just said and quickly shook his head.
"No, no, of course not!
He doesn’t have a Primordial-level bloodline.
He is a Primordial Incubus."
He clarified, at least from his perspective, but the women only stared at him with foolish gazes. They had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.
Nux noticed that look on their faces, then he took a slight pause and—
"You remember the twelve Primordial Energies, the... parents of all the existing energies?"
The women nodded.
The existence of the Universe depended on these twelve energies, they understood tha—
"Wait..."
Suddenly, Eisheth’s expression changed.
And Nux nodded.
"Yes, a Primordial Incubus."
He smiled at his child.
"Our Universe’s first Incubus, he isn’t just a Progenitor of a single World, he is the Progenitor of ALL the Incubi that will ever exist in our Universe.
Don’t compare his bloodline to the normal power scale you know.
He is beyond that scale."
Nux’s smile then turned even more loving and—
"After all, he is the Universe’s Child."
