Chapter 175: Strengthening the Family 2

Everyone nodded. A moment later, Liya teleported them to their respective training areas.

Nova thought for a moment. With this many beasts available, they should all be able to reach the King Realm without much difficulty.

{ Yes, they will, } Liya confirmed. { Don’t worry. }

With everyone else gone, Nova looked over the newly created Deadborns. Most of them were giant beasts. At the moment, he only had two humanoid ones — Alpha and Gamma. He would need more of them eventually. Should he go out on a hunt?

{ Whoa, whoa... hold on. Who exactly are you planning to kill? } Liya asked.

Nova was no psychopath who would simply kill random people to create Deadborns. Still, his primary targets were clear — the members of the Bloodmoon Cult, especially Number 110. He still needed to take his revenge and fulfill the words he had once spoken.

Now that he was strong enough, he only needed to find him. Of course, that man could very well be with those two Demon General bastards.

Nova still did not know that many of the Bloodmoon Cult members had already betrayed Azren and Voren, and had been working for other Demon Lords from the very beginning.

With everything settled inside the training space for now, Nova could finally focus on other matters. Liya would oversee their training, and the Deadborns would assist them as well.

At the same time, Nova continued monitoring everything through his connection with the Deadborns.

A moment later, Velena approached him. Nova turned to her and said,

"I know I still have things to explain to you... but it would be better if you and Nyxara hear it together. This is something very important."

Velena did not know what could be so important, but she agreed with his words. She also felt uneasy knowing that Nyxara was still upset and that no one knew where she had gone.

Nova continued,

"Why don’t you go look for her? I’m inside the system space right now, so I’ll be safe here."

Velena thought for a moment before nodding.

"You’re right. She might still be nearby. I’ll go look for her. If I can’t find her, I’ll return by evening."

"After all... we won’t be able to find her if she doesn’t want to be found."

Nova sighed quietly and nodded. With that, Velena was sent out of the system space.

Once she was gone, Nova returned to his wives and parents and began helping them level up.

Nova stood beside Rieka and Asia as they finished killing a peak Grandmaster Realm demonic beast and absorbed the experience.

Asia, who was already a Grandmaster, received relatively few experience points. Rieka, on the other hand, was rapidly approaching the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm.

Nova carefully instructed her. Once she broke through to Grandmaster, she was to focus on practicing her skills first in order to stabilize her mana before continuing to level up by killing more beasts.

He gave the same instructions, in the proper order, to his parents, Theodore, and Rodrick.

After several days of continuous training, breakthroughs began to occur one after another.

Asia was the first to step into the King Realm. Her father, Theodore, followed soon after, as he had already been a Grandmaster before. Rieka was the third.

Edward came next. Jenna was the last to break through.

Nova had prepared more than enough mid- King Realm beasts for them. His goal was to safely bring everyone to the King Realm.

He could have provided peak King Realm beasts to push them even further, but doing so too early would have harmed their mana stabilization. He refused to risk that with his family.

Once their realms had settled, Nova created specialized training grounds tailored to each of them. These areas were designed specifically for skill practice and real combat experience — one of the most convenient new functions of the system.

Liya took full control of the process. She generated opponents based on the demons and Bloodmoon Cult members Nova had previously killed in battle.

The simulated enemies retained realistic strength, techniques, and killing intent, allowing everyone to experience genuine danger and accumulate true battle experience.

Training continued without interruption for months.

They trained, rested, ate, and recovered entirely inside the system training space. It truly was an extraordinary place — one that provided everything they needed.

....

Six months later...

Everyone stood before Nova. Each of them felt several times stronger than before. None of them had ever trained continuously for such a long period.

Leaving behind the responsibilities of the outside world and focusing solely on training and recovery had almost felt like a strange kind of vacation.

Nova looked at his mother and asked,

"Mom, how do you feel?"

Jenna laughed softly and answered,

"Stronger than ever. My son actually made his mother fight those horrifying creatures... it was truly terrible, but it made me much stronger."

Nova had personally supervised his mother’s training the entire time. Unlike the others, she was not a natural combatant and had very little fighting experience.

Because of that, he had taught her from the very basics. Surprisingly, she learned extremely quickly.

At the moment, Nova only had one Evolution Stone left. He chose to give it to his mother, as she was currently the weakest among them. The stone accelerated her potential, raising it to B-rank.

If he obtained more in the future, he planned to give the next ones to his father and then to Rieka. Rieka’s potential was currently at A-rank, and he wanted to raise it to at least S-rank like Asia’s — if not SS-rank like Nyxara’s.

Nova chuckled and said,

"Of course, Mom. Look at you now — you can even kill such powerful beasts."

Everyone laughed.

Theodore then spoke with sincere emotion.

"Nova... you truly are an otherworldly individual. I never imagined I would reach the King Realm anytime soon, yet you have done us an enormous favor."

Rodrick added respectfully,

"Many thanks, Lord Nova."

Nova simply chuckled.

"There’s no need to thank me. You are my family. Your growth is my growth."

His words left a warm feeling in everyone’s hearts. Theodore then asked,

"Nova, how much time has passed outside?"

Nova answered,

"It will be evening soon."

"In that case, let me out," Theodore said. "I need to visit the royal castle. There is a meeting tonight regarding the upcoming tournament."

Nova looked mildly amused by the information. Theodore noticed his expression and added with a small smile,

"Don’t worry. I know you’ll end up learning everything about it anyway."

Nova laughed at his words. A moment later, Liya ejected Theodore and Rodrick from the training space.

After Theodore and Rodrick left, Jenna asked,

"Son, has Velena not returned yet?"

Nova had already told them that Velena had gone out to look for Nyxara. To those who had spent months training inside the system space, it felt as though they had not seen her for a long time. In reality, she had only been gone for a few hours.

Nova shook his head.

"No, Mom. Though she did tell me she would be back by evening."

Edward cleared his throat and asked directly,

"Son... tell us the truth. What exactly is your relationship with her and this Princess Nyxara?"

Jenna’s eyes, along with those of his two wives, immediately lit up. They clearly wanted to know as well. Nova only sighed with a light chuckle and answered,

"It’s not what you’re thinking, Father... at least not for now."

Everyone caught the meaning behind his words. Jenna quickly asked,

"What do you mean, son?"

Seeing his gentle mother’s bright, curious eyes, Nova could only smile helplessly.

"Things between us are a little complicated right now. Once I’ve sorted everything out properly, I’ll definitely tell all of you. You know I can’t hide anything from you for long."
