Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 132 : Mind encounter?
As Jade's output increased, the resistance from Ares' Beast Aura increased. Both energies were trying to consume the other.
Slowly but surely, Jade was winning. Not because she was stronger. Which was a title Ares' energy occupied in the situation. She was winning because her energy was more abundant.
She was defeating quality with quantity. Even that only worked because she was battling against a weakened, second-hand Beast Aura from Ares. If it was the purest form, from the source. She would need to be at least Rank Ten to even stand a chance against the same amount.
That's the kind of strength difference they had. Which, luckily for them, wasn't at play. So Jade was able to slowly convert Ares' Beast Aura into hers. By this point, the whole room was covered in green and red energy.
The others had long left the room. While what was happening likely wouldn't affect them. They didn't want to take the chance.
They also noticed something while observing the spectacle. The density of Jade's Beast Aura was increasing the more she converted Ares' Beast Aura. It was easy to see that she was getting quite a significant benefit from the ordeal.
Another thing they noticed was Muku's improving skin colour. I had become pale from the day he was injured. Now it was slowly returning to its rosy tone.
...
Ares' dimension...
As Jade expelled Ares' Beast Aura from Muku's body. Ares quickly sensed it.
"Hhmm, who dares go against me by assisting that human?!" Ares' spoke to himself furiously.
While he could sense what was happening with his Beast Aura. He couldn't sense the situation clearly. All he could tell was that whoever was going against him was using Beast Aura.
And since the weaker beasts that could use it wouldn't do such a thing. He assumed that it was one of the other Monarchs. As for the thought that it may get to be a human... It never crossed his mind.
He hadn't paid attention to Jade both times they encountered each other. The first time, she was too far. On the second, she had already fallen unconscious when he showed up. So he had no idea that a human who could use Beast Aura had appeared.
With his thought that it was one of the Monarchs. He didn't dare prove further. Afraid that whoever the person was could use the chance to attack him.
After all, he was the least liked among all the Monarchs. So some of them wouldn't mind taking a stab at him if there was a chance. Which he assumed was the reason whoever was interfering with his prey was even doing so.
Unknowingly, his paranoia kept Jade's existence hidden from him a little longer. Which should have been impossible since that bloodline was supposed to have been wiped out.
"Whoever you are comrade. I will get back at you one day" Ares spoke hatefully before closing his eyes again. Returning to his previous dormant state, though this time his aura was significantly more agitated.
...
In Muku's mind?...
While outside he was inanimate. In his mind, he was very much active. From the time he was attacked by Ares, he had found himself wandering in endless smoke.
He knew it wasn't the real world, but he couldn't leave. All he could do was keep walking forward or stop. And something told him that if he kept on walking forward. He will find something that would be worth it.
And so, he kept walking for an unknown time to him. It felt like years, but he still kept on walking. At some point, the grey smoke started turning darker and darker until it was pitch black.
He felt like he was walking on a moonless and starless night. Completely dark, with nothing in sight. But he still kept walking. Thinking that he had come so far, so he might as well continue. If he stopped then, he would have failed himself.
As his sanity was starting to crack from the ordeal. He saw something move in the darkness. Two large glowing orbs were beaming from the sky. Although they looked to be as big as the moon at least, he felt like they were eyes. Eyes that were looking right at him.
And honestly, he felt scared. What was such a thing doing in his mind? Was it going to kill him? Could it really kill him? Such thoughts plagued his consciousness as he froze on the spot. Unable to move from fear.
He had long realised that he was unable to use his abilities. So he was no different from a normal human standing against such a thing.
"What? Are you not going to say anything?" An unknown voice that sounded familiar to him for whatever reason sounded in his mind.
Hearing the voice, he somehow immediately knew that whatever Being the voice belonged to wouldn't hurt him. Which was definitely weird, but he just knew.
"Who are you" Muku asked after gathering all his courage.
"Good, at least you can speak. Otherwise, I would have been really disappointed" The voice didn't reply to his question.
It spoke words that would have definitely pissed him off had it been someone else who said it. After all, it was not only ignoring his question but also saying such a thing. But for some reason, he was happy that he didn't disappoint the being.
"What are you doing in my mind?" Muku asked his next question.
"I'm not in your mind" Surprisingly, the being answered his question.
"Am I also not in my mind then? Did you kidnap my consciousness?" Muku asked another question, this time a bit guarded.
If he really had been mind-kidnapped, he had no idea what he would do. Or what he could do.
"No, you're still in your mind, as you put it" The being replied patiently.
"Then are you projecting yourself into my mind?" Muku asked another question.
"No. Let me put it like this. Space, or Laws, to be more specific, don't affect me. I am nowhere and everywhere at the same time, among other things" The being tried to clarify the situation. But it just confused Muku even more.
Then he was filled with horror. What kind of being had he encountered? Wasn't such an ability a God-level power? He was certain that even Ares couldn't do such a thing. He was probably not even close to being able to do it.
To him, this information translated to, "Don't do anything to offend the being or you are definitely dead. Maybe without a chance of reincarnation even"
"Do you not have anything else to ask?" The Being asked curiously. While it could easily read his thoughts. It chose not to. Such things made conversation pointless.
"R-right. What do you want with me?" Muku asked, slightly more nervous this time. As even if the being wanted him to commit suicide. He wasn't sure if he could refuse. Which made him feel quite hopeless.
Why did he keep on encountering such beings he couldn't resist? Most people were probably still dealing with Rank One beasts as their strongest encounters.
But here he was facing a being that was beyond the authority of the Laws of Existence. And it was all caused by an encounter with another being he could not fathom.
On the bright side, this being didn't seem to be as antagonistic as Ares. So he might be able to make it out alive.
"Good question. And I don't want anything from you. I just wanted to say hello" The Being replied. The reply made Muku feel speechless. Where all Bigshots so bored these days? Like who does that? And after such an appearance too.
"Umm, really? That's it?" Muku asked after calming down.
"Yes. Should there be more?" The being said another thing that made him speechless.
Why was it asking him that? He wasn't the one that appeared in front of the other. How was he supposed to know??
"Oh right! I almost forgot. I have a warning for you" Before Muku could lose it. The Being said something that grabbed his attention. A warning from such a being must be something really important right?
"Yes please tell me. What is it?" Muku spoke respectfully.
"Don't wait too long, or you might lose them" " The Being spoke seriously after pausing for a bit.
The content made Muku almost curse out loudly. What the hell?! That was the warning?! What was that serious atmosphere for then? But after thinking about it for a bit... Maybe it was good advice after all. Wait! What was he even thinking about?
"It seems our time is up. May we meet again sometime soon?" As Muku was thinking up a storm, The Being suddenly said something unexpected.

Before he could react, he felt himself get ejected from the mindscape. He couldn't even say anything before he was gone. He still hadn't found out who or what the being was. Or its name, at least. But it seemed that he could only wait until the next time they met. If it even happened that is.
.....
"You couldn't say anything in the end, huh?" As soon as Muku disappeared. A disgruntled feminine voice sounded in the darkness.
"It's not yet time" The masculine voice that had been talking to Muku before replied.
"You always say that" The feminine voice spoke. But the masculine voice didn't reply. And everything returned to silence...
