Chapter 2387 Helplessness.
The Devourer was standing near the largest window with an absolutely calm look on her face, almost as if everything that had happened hadn't fazed her, not one bit.
Or at least—
That was what it would look like to others who didn't know her.
As for those who did…?
That was different.
Like Allura, Amaya no longer had tears to shed, however, unlike Allura whose mind had collapsed, Amaya's mind had attached itself to something else.
Something… more terrifying.
Revenge.
She stared into the window's glass as if she could see the Infinities beyond it.
Her fingers were wrapped around her own arms so tightly that her nails had cut into her skin, blood had already stained her sleeves, but she did not seem to feel it.
Her mind hadn't stopped working.
Even now.
Especially now.
Nux had made it almost impossible for them to take revenge, almost.
But Amaya found a way out.
Or at least, a possible way out.
Zylarith Chaosveil.
Before dying, Nux devoured his existence, all she needed to do was use Shadow and get Zylarith's memories from her.
Then, she would create the Cultivation Bridge that would lead them all the way to the Infinity Stage.
Then, she would become an Infinity and force her way out of the Universe.
Then—
She would kill every last one of them.
As painfully as possible.
Her eyes burned as the darkness in them became stronger than ever.
Riona, who was standing nearby, trembled when she saw the look on her daughter's face. Riona's case was worse than the others, she didn't just have to bear with the loss of the husband she dearly loved, she also saw her daughter's state, her anger and…
Riona, who was standing nearby, trembled when she saw the look on her daughter's face. Riona's case was worse than the others, she didn't just have to bear with the loss of the husband she dearly loved, she also saw her daughter's state, her anger and…
It scared her.
It scared her to even think about what would happen if all the anger boiling inside Amaya found no direction.
In the end, the only thing she could do was place her hand on her daughter's shoulder, hoping to calm her down and at the same time… seek some form of relief for herself.
It didn't work.
Her heart only felt heavier.
And Amaya…
"Mother… I cannot breathe."
The Devourer spoke as her body shook. Riona's body trembled at those words and she pulled Amaya into her arms, as if scared she would lose her too.
And—
The mother-daughter pair, the pair that had always kept a straight head, the pair that had come up with strategies normal beings wouldn't even be able to imagine—
They burst into tears.
Ember, standing near one of the pillars, watched them in silence.
Her body was still, as if she had forgotten how to move. When she first saw everything that was happening to Nux, how the Infinities had surrounded him, how the Seer had betrayed him, all she felt was rage, unbearable, uncontrollable rage.
Her very soul demanded blood.
It cried, wanting to be sent in front of the Infinities so she could tear them apart but…
She couldn't leave.
She couldn't help Nux and because of that—
He died.
He died fighting his enemies alone.
And…
That made her feel something worse than rage.
Helplessness.
Tears streamed down her cheeks while her expression stayed hard, her hands clenched into fists, the pillar beside her had cracks in it and she…
She could only stare at her children and… hold herself back…
Opposite Ember was Evane, who was sitting beside Eloria and the other children, her hands moving softly, fixing blankets, touching foreheads, calming the small restless movements of sleeping bodies.
Even now, the woman was gentle.
Even when her own heart had been crushed into pieces, she looked… stronger than most women in the room.
She took care of all the children because she knew their mothers were not in the state to.
Kira, Thyra's daughter, whimpered in her sleep, Evane immediately leaned forward and hummed softly, calming her down.
Evane smiled.
It was a small, broken smile.
And when she could no longer hold back, she turned away before the children or any of her sisters could see the tears in her eyes.
Astaria stood with a sword in her hand, staring at it with a lost look on her face. Her mind continued to recall all the times she had challenged him, all the times he defeated her with that cheeky smile on his face, all the times he used their battle as an excuse to make his perverted moves on her and—
Her hand tightened around the sword's hilt before she dropped it on the floor.
Yes, Astaria Leander was abandoning her sword.
After all, what good was her sword when she wasn't even strong enough to fight next to him?
Vyriana, who was standing right next to her, was no different. The proud look on her face was gone and was replaced by… guilt and helplessness.
Vyriana had always prided herself on being a warrior, a being who never backed away from a fight.
Heh.
How laughable.
When she was most needed, when her husband was surrounded by the five strongest beings in the Universe and was fighting them alone—
All she could do was watch.
A Warrior indeed.
Vyriana laughed at herself, then she made a decision.
She would no longer fight.
Because like Astaria, she too, did not deserve it.
While both warriors made heart-breaking decisions, Aisha was sitting on the bed, cupping Velora's cheeks with shaking hands.
Her usually bold, passionate self looked broken, her lips trembled. She thought about how she used to cling to Nux, tease, kiss, claim him openly, even in front of the children and how every time she did it—
Nux accepted it with a smile and looked at her with eyes filled with that strong, intense love.
That memory put a smile on her face.
But—
The moment reality dawned in—
The moment she realized how Nux was no longer there to cling to, Aisha bent forward and pressed her forehead against the blanket, trying to hide her tears.
