Nox Emperor's Incarnation
🕑 Added 2023-02-12 21:06:30 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 164 ---
"The Nox Emperor."
Upon hearing the words, Huo Yuhao observed Alexandra's expression and noticed her "x." purple iris flickered for a moment. Alexandra smiled at him as if she was a proud teacher who witnessed her student answering correctly.
It was a brief millisecond, but Huo Yuhao captured the moment well.
"How hurtful. Why did that fool Titania could gain an heir like you while I stuck being single for eons." She commented with a sigh.
"I'm jealous, very jealous." Her smile lightened when uttering this.
"Well, you're right."
"This darling slave and eldest sister of yours are indeed the Nox Emperor herself. To be precise, Alexandra von Admante is just one of the countless incarnations I created in the past."
"And Alexandra von Admante's personality is split into two because I want to see what kind of being my incarnation could become. Alexandra is somewhat a failure as she couldn't control herself completely, losing authority of her emotion so easily."
She glanced at Huo Yuhao and added, "Not to mention she lost to a low 9th Class Devil Warrior despite being 10th Class Devil Warrior. I know you used power enhancement to make the fight fair, but my incarnation usually never lost."
"Then... You started to torture me after that."
"W-Well, I have to say this honestly. You awakened something intense inside me, master~!" She blew him a kiss.
Huo Yuhao dodged the imaginary kiss with an annoyed look, which made Nox-Alexandra giggle in amusement. He has several thoughts running through his head, knowing Nox Emperor could kill him with just her sneeze.
"I won't kill you, master. My will won't allow such an act." Like reading his mind, Nox-Alexandra pouted disapprovingly. "I pledged my loyalty to you three months, three weeks, five days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 59 seconds ago."
"My soul, mind, and body are solely dedicated to you for eternity." She submissively said, kneeling on the bed. "Of course, my main body was also affected by this awakening. It would take fifty years for her to come here personally. Titania Bolos is too far from my grand star, which makes me wonder why Titania placed her home on the corner of Everlith Universe.
"Wait... Since my incarnations connected through psyche-astral lines, they were probably influenced by your kindness(torture) too."
"Should I give Kroman Absolute Order to you? I don't need it anyway."
"What I need is..." Alexandra eyed Huo Yuhao's crotch hungrily.
Huo Yuhao placed a pillow on his crotch and commented, "Stop staring at me like that. And stop joking around."
"Joking? Pfft, come on. You fucked me senselessly beyond repair. I can't live without your touch and little brother anymore." Nox Alexandra smirked at him.
"Have you wondered why Alexandra's 1st personality hasn't resurfaced for so long? You fucked her to a coma, for fuck sake."
"..." Huo Yuhao couldn't counter Nox Alexandra's comments.
Even though Huo Yuhao tried to control himself at the time, Theomars' hatred and passion were too excessive. He sighed and rubbed his forehead in defeat.
"Don't feel guilty about your actions. You won the fight, so you deserve the reward." Nox Alexandra sat on Huo Yuhao's pillow and leaned on his chest.
"You claimed me as your prize. That's just common sense here."
"And You're blessed that Alexandra von Admante is Nox Emperor's Incarnation. Even the eyes of the sovereign couldn't foresee this future."
"The absolute control over the Kroman Race is just an extra reward."
"How casual." Huo Yuhao sneered, feeling the Nox Emperor dump her responsibility on him.
"Yet, you didn't reject it." Nox Alexandra went for a kiss, but Huo Yuhao placed another pillow before her face.
"Rude... Is this how you reject women?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao threw Nox Alexandra onto the bed.
"MM~!" Alexandra nervously stared at Huo Yuhao's solid figure. His body is like ambrosia that fell from the eternal garden, charming any woman to commit an act of sin. The Incubus Devil fell short compared to Huo Yuhao's charms.
'Lucky Titania... I'll take your precious successor and get rid of my single status.' Licking her lips, Nox Alexandra heavily anticipated what would happen next.
Huo Yuhao took off his shirt and said, "I'll call you Nox Alexandra from now on."
"Even though you said flowery words to me, you haven't proven your loyalty. Given the mood in this room, you should know what we were going to do."
"Yes~!" Nox Alexandra replied while taking off her sleeping robe.

[You have accumulated another achievement and obtained a title]
[New Achievement: Even the Devil Goddess Empress is falling for me accidentally]
[The Quasi-Primordial Lucky Bastard]
[Grade: SSS]
[Effect: Increase the chance of a lucky encounter by 75%]
[Description: This ridiculous achievement was "fortunately." obtained after conquering Nox Emperor's Incarnation and indirectly influenced her true self through a hivemind-like connection]
Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel with a deadpan expression and looked at Nox Alexandra, who rested her head on his chest. She breathed softly, brushing his skin with a gentle puff of air.
Looking at Alexandra's sleepy face, Huo Yuhao could feel Theomars' resentment slowly fade into thin air. This body has become his entirely.
Huo Yuhao lifted his back from the bed and started to meditate, flowing his inner energy in and out for several minutes. After circulating the native energy with Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, he opened his eyes slowly and saw Nox Alexandra fascinated expression.
"You reached 10th Class?" She asked in disbelief. "Aren't you supposed to be nineteen years old? That broke the record of my grand star's genius by 81 years..."
"Built differently. Don't ask how." Huo Yuhao replied while hearing Evo's notification.
[You have reached 10th Class Devil Warrior]
[Unlocking the Devil's Taboo: Devil Dragon God of Adversity]
[Name: Devil Dragon God of Adversity]
[Type: Innate Skill/Path]
[Grade: SSS]
[Description: The "Devil Dragon God of Adversity." is Devil's Taboo unique to the host. It's the amalgamation of Huo Yuhao's struggle in Titania Bolos, condensing into power to destroy all creation under the 5th Dimension. It's the unknown thorny path of the ruler and conqueror chosen by your strongest desire]
[Innate Powers: Wild God's Authority, Devil and Dragon Godly Physique, Nameless King's Path]
[Warning! Devil's Taboo could only get activated for a certain amount of time. Constant activation will lead to Karmic Destruction and Permanent Soul Injury for not being able to endure the Taboo against the natural order]
[The System recommended the host use Devil Taboo when reaching 11th Class or even higher realms to sustain the damage properly]
Unknown to Huo Yuhao, a crown of broken blue light surrounded his black head. As he guessed before, Devil's Taboo is the starting point of godhood in this universe. This stage is when one condenses everything into a single essence.
"How unbelievable. You tell me a barely adult man could break the Taboo without consequence? In my Star, this could only happen to the first-generation Ancient Devils." Nox Alexandra stared at the crown of light on Huo Yuhao's head.
"Why the long face?" Huo Yuhao deactivated his Devil's Taboo. "Alexandra also broke her Taboo years ago, no? It's nothing special."
Nox Alexandra shook her head and returned solemnly, "That's a ridiculous take, master. Alexandra is Nox Emperor's incarnation, which means her Devil Taboo was "literally." determined from the beginning."
"It's called "Minor Devil Goddess of the Beginning." that allowed Alexandra to access the hivemind. Yes, this is why the incarnation of Nox Emperor(including herself) who reached 10th Class or above is affected by your torturous kindness."
"We are conquered by you indirectly..." A bitter smile appeared on Nox Alexandra's Face.
"I see..." Huo Yuhao recalled Qianye Ying'er also created something similar to this. However, Nox Emperor's Incarnation scales are even more complex than Qianye Ying'er perception-sharing runes. That includes emotion and feelings, not just touches.
"Your method is too risky."
Nox Alexandra won't deny the harsh statement and replies with a chuckle, "My true self is too lazy. She'd rather sleep for one thousand years than do her job as the ruler."
"Nox Emperor spread the incarnations so that she doesn't have to move a single inch from the bed."
"Now imagine an intense memory of tortured Alexandra packed into one and shoved into her head. She probably fell into stupefaction and came continuously on the spot for several days, making dumb expressions or something like that."
"That's one year and six months inside Ink Domain..." Huo Yuhao laughed and facepalmed because he dugs his own grave. He doesn't feel happy at all about this news.
Maybe a little, just a little.
Trust him.
"Well, I don't have much time left... Alexandra is about to awake from her coma. Make a new body for me if you can." Nox Alexandra commented while lying her head on his lap.
"I can, but doesn't that mean you'll cut your connection with your true body?" Huo Yuhao answered while summoning a 9th Class Shadow Warrior, a new one he refined yesterday. "This should be good enough."
"Yeah." Nox Alexandra touched the Shadow Warrior, feeling herself sink into it. "Welp, see you soon."
The Shadow Warrior released a dim green aura and revealed a carbon copy of Alexandra. Except this woman has deep green-white hair and an "x." purple iris. It seems Harmonia and Triana aren't the only twins in this alliance.
"Mm... Where am I?" Alexandra opened her eyes, seeing her master Theo.
"Master Theo~!!" She hugged him tightly. Yes, Alexandra returned to her docile and innocent self before losing control of her emotion.
"How adorable." Nox Alexandra looked at this scenery with a funny expression. "Alexandra's nickname in her childhood is Alexy. You can call her that, master."
"Alexy?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.
Nox Alexandra cracked a smile and replied, "It has nothing to do with me. That memory is buried deep in her mind."
"Hmm... Alexy, who am I to you?" Huo YUhao asked.
Alexandra grinned and replied, "My master~!"
"See." Nox Alexandra shrugged her shoulders.
"Anyway, let us rest for a day... Um, maybe three days. I'm still sore down there. I'll contact Titania and help you to find Grand Marshal Mountain."
"Sure." Huo Yuhao agreed without question. They have formed a master and servant relationship.
[Ding! You have triggered a quest]
[You have stopped Nox Emperor's Death from the original path by conquering her indirectly. She has awakened her from sleep and prevented the Monster Race from cursing her to death]
[A quest generated]
[Name: Grand Marshall Mountain's Cracks]
[Objective: Find the Source of the Monster Race's Invasion, Seal the Cracks, and Kill Homun Monster Monarch(0/2)]
[Reward: Titania von Valstrax's Affection(+15%), Raki del Krolamine's Affection(+20%), and the Grand Duchess Ink Devil's Quill]
[Do you want to accept the quest?]
[No/Yes]
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded, pressing the button without hesitation.
He walked off the bed and stretched slightly, sensing the spiritual connection from his clone in the Black Pearl Castle.
"What??"
"I'll be there soon!"
"For fuck sake, I can't even catch a break." He cursed quietly.
[You have reached the 2nd Stage of the Millennium Crusade]
[The Monster Race has allied with the Nether God to destroy Titania Bolos]
[You have ten days before the new wave starts]
"..." Huo Yuhao.
"Damn... There are even stages in this quest."
"I have no choice but to proceed to complete the quest. Fortunately, I still have that."
