Supreme Harem God System

1398 I will be the Strongest.
"So... you have something called... a System in your body...? A System that... gave you the ability to not only get stronger by mating with your wives but also strengthen the said wives as well...?"
Faustina questioned as she glanced at the boy standing in front of her with a strange look on her face.
"That is correct." Nux nodded, agreeing to her statement.
"Not to mention that the mentioned features are just the start, and this System also helps you manage your and your wives' bloodlines, gives you almost all the strange abilities you use, abilities that can also be passed to your wives, and it is also the source of that energy you use."
"Yes, as I said, the energy name is Essence, however, I cannot pass Essence to my wives, unlike most of my abilities."
Nux nodded once again.
Faustina blinked a few times, digesting what she just heard.
As ridiculous as it all sounds, at the end of the day, she was a million old year monster, this can surprise her, yes, however, this didn't mean she would continue to stare at her son with her mouth wide agape like a fool and stop interacting properly.
She simply needed time to understand her son's position and look through his eyes to understand his decisions.
"So the reason you do not want to get the Blessing of the Will of Yrniel is because you believe that once you reach Saint Stage, the System will give you something that will help you form your Law, or might even give you a law directly."
"Throughout my journey, it gave me everything I needed exactly at the moment I needed it, it is as if it was created to be my guide and make my cultivation journey easier. After all, without it, I would still be a boy who was clueless about this world, let alone standing here in front of you, I probably would have died in the first few days of coming here or would have turned into Felberta's Gigolo, something now that I think about it, Felberta would have liked quite a lot. Not that I am against it or anything, spending time with my wife without having to worry about getting strong and everything doesn't seem very bad."
Nux chuckled as he considered that possibility.
"I do not need to hear the details of your love stories, my son. I have seen enough already."
Faustina spoke with a casual tone, not allowing him to go with the flow and forget the topic. The woman had spent 800 years with him, she knew how his mind worked and how it wandered off to his wives if given even the slightest of chance.
Yes, her son was crazy, but she decided to accept him as the way he was, such was the love of a Mother.
"Right."
Nux coughed, covering his mouth for a moment, before assuming a serious expression again, "System gave me what I wanted when it was necessary, I believe it would be the same for the Laws as well." He seemed quite confident that it would happen.
"And the reason you are holding back and not getting the System's help is because..."
"I feel controlled, and I do not like that feeling."
Nux spoke, narrowing his eyes as he replayed his entire life in this cultivation world in his mind.
This wasn't the first time he did it, the moment he realized how important introspecting oneself was in order to create a Law, he had done it quite a few times. What better way is there to understand oneself than to remember your life and the decisions you took to reach where you were, this is what creates an individual, after all.
Anyways, coming back to the topic, Nux had replayed his life quite a few times in his mind, and one thing that always bothered him was how perfect the System
was.
It was as if someone had created a path for him from the very beginning and for the current Nux, who had grown extremely protective of people around him, this was oddly unsettling.
He didn't know whether the System was his enemy or not, honestly, it was his greatest asset, however, right now, Nux didn't wish to follow the Path the System had created for him, at least not until it was absolutely necessary.
"So because you do not like that you are being controlled, you decided to deviate from this path the system has created for you? This is why you were working so hard this entire time?" Faustina questioned.
"That is not the only reason."
Nux shook his head.
The Progenitor slightly tilted her head, showing that she was listening.
"My goal is to become the Strongest. Even stronger than the Vampire Progenitor. Stronger than anyone else in the entire universe.
The System has already been showing inconsistency for a while, now, it is not as 'absolute' as it was when I was in the forgotten continent, this means that the System has its shortcomings, if I follow this path, my path might have
shortcomings as well.
And that is something I cannot allow since that would hinder my goal."
Nux explained and Faustina stared at her son, whose eyes were glimmering with
unparalleled determination.
"The same goes for the option of being blessed by the Will of Yrniel," Nux continued.
He stared at his mother and,
"Just like you said, although it will open up the path for me to continue my cultivation journey without having to form my Law, in the end, I would still be weaker than those who have their Laws.
That is unacceptable.
I can only be the strongest."
Nux declared arrogantly.
Something only someone like him could do and people wouldn't call him an arrogant fool, after all, even if he had the System's help, the fact was, he was still the monster who had surprised even the million-year-old Progenitors. He was a monster who, without having a Path and as a mere Semi Saint, was able to defeat a holder of Absolute Law, who, at that time, was a Saint Stage Cultivator.
This was not something 'just anyone with a System' could do.
Looking into her son's eyes, Faustina couldn't help but chuckle. Then, with a light smile on her face, she questioned, "So are you calling your mother weak because she doesn't have her Law?"
"I am not a fool, Mother." Nux smiled as well.
"Despite not having seen you use your strength, I fully understand just how
strong you are." Nux praised, then, however, a frown appeared on his face,
"However...
You are still not the strongest, are you?"
"You do not have to be the strongest if you simply wish to live a normal life
together with your wives, Nux," Faustina spoke.
"Do you truly believe what you say?" Nux questioned with a wry smile on his
face.
"Do you think I cannot protect the ones I wish to protect?" Faustina narrowed her eyes, clearly, she was not amused by this conversation anymore.
Nux stared at his mother for a while, wondering whether he should say what he
was going to say.
In the end, he closed his eyes and decided to go for it. After all, his Goals were
being questioned here.
"You failed to protect your friend, Mother."
"That was because..."
"The Vampire Progenitor didn't bother to help, luck was not on your side,
everything happened too fast, you couldn't correctly plan your moves, or any other thing doesn't matter, if you were the strongest, you wouldn't need anyone's
help.
If you were the strongest, and you knew that your friend needed your help, and if that friend was close enough for you to leave everything you were doing and go to her aide, Then helping your friend wouldn't have been a problem. Heck, if you were the strongest, no one would have even dared to attack your
friend."
Nux spoke, looking into his mother's eyes with a solemn look on his face, then, with a heavy voice, he ended, "That is how strong I wish to be." Faustina stared at her child for a good 5 minutes, Nux didn't say anything, not
even the flowery words to cover up what he said. He knew his words might hurt her, after all, hardly anyone would want to hear that someone they considered close died because they were weak.
Nux knew his mother wasn't weak, neither physically nor mentally, she didn't need his support. She was a Strong Woman.
"The path you choose is a difficult one, my son."
Faustina spoke, this time, the weight behind her voice was much higher than
normal, not because the woman was emotional, far from it, it took a lot for a million-year-old monster to feel 'emotional', she was simply astounded by the gravity of the goal her son had.
He truly wished to be... the Strongest.
All so he could protect his wives.
'He is indeed crazy.' Faustina couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
"Well, that's the fun of it, isn't it? I wonder just how difficult it is." Nux chuckled,
making Faustina chuckle together with him as well.
"I will be witnessing your journey very closely, child."
"I will be looking forward to your guidance, Mother," Nux replied and his mother
nodded.
The two stayed silent for the next few minutes, both of them had things they were
busy thinking about.
"Mother."
Suddenly, Nux broke the silence.
"Hmm?" Faustina turned towards her son.
"The Vampire Progenitor, has he also not formed his Law?"
"Of course not, he is an exception. You cannot be that strong unless you comprehend a Law, a Law as ridiculous as the one he comprehended." Faustina snorted just thinking about the Law that man had formed. She was 100% sure that if the details about that man's Law were leaked, their enemies would die coughing too much blood. That was how ridiculous that man was.
A True Monster.
"What is his Law?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned.
Faustina stared at him for a while, this was definitely not something she should
reveal since it was one of the closely guarded secrets but... Did she care?
Of course not.
She already revealed too many things, even her world's biggest secret.
If he knew a thing or two more, it wouldn't matter.
And who knows?
Knowing this might help her son in some way.
And for a mother, that was enough of a reason to 'betray' her world again.
"Law of Absolute."
She revealed.
