NOVEL NEXT Chapter 100 Renascence Conclusion
Nyx and Zero appeared in a white void where countless items floated around. Nyx looked at Zero and asked in a sarcastic tone, “So why did you bring me here?”
“So that we can talk without any interruptions Mom.” answered Zero as he sighed
“Well, first thing first. How dare you make me a grandma without introducing the girl to me first.” said Nyx as she lightly flicked Zero on the forehead causing him to fly backward at an astonishing speed.
Zero teleported and appeared flying towards Nyx who caught him with ease. Nyx looked at Zero and said, “Another thing that I confirmed just now is you don’t use your powers effectively.”
“Yeah, I’m aware of that. I’ve gained too many abilities too quickly to familiarize myself with them all so I only focus on the ones I gained earlier and try to use a few of my other abilities.” said Zero
Nyx let Zero go and turned to face her to see that her usual smiling joking face was now gone and that she was serious. She drew closer to him and asked, “Why didn’t you do as I said and run? You should have left this world long ago when the existence of a god was confirmed.”
“About that, I still plan to run if it becomes too dangerous. I have no intentions of fighting gods or angels.” said Zero
“Then why are you still here?” asked Nyx again
“I planned to get the abilities and run without coming to the castle at first. Then I saw the possibility of getting stronger here so I didn’t leave no matter how difficult it got. When I found out a god was coming here I wanted to run but I made friends here and I just couldn’t see them die here.” said Zero in a serious tone to match Nyx’s tone.
“Well, that's fine but why didn’t you take these friends and run from this place if they were so important to you? If you cared for them as you say then your priority should have been to run from an enemy that you can’t defeat.” said Nyx
Zero couldn’t answer Nyx’s question as she had a good point. If his main concern was to save his friends they could have left a while ago. Zero had other reasons as to why they needed to stay that he hadn’t shared with anyone.
“Are you truly that arrogant to believe that you’ll make it out of here unscathed? Even if it’s a fight between demigods the bare minimum result of the fight will lead to half of this world being destroyed in the battle eventually. You underestimate the power of gods my son.” added Nyx
“Even if that’s what will happen I can’t stop it now. Everything’s already been set up and the battle will happen regardless of what I do now. The only thing I can do is make sure I come on top.” said Zero
“So ultimately what you’re telling me is victory is more important than family and friends. Your hubris is amazing. Looks like I need to humble you before it gets you killed.” said Nyx
“I can’t fight you Mom and besides you’re a Primordial.” said Zero hastily
“This is only my avatar so it only holds a minute amount of my power. In fact, I’m actually weaker in this form than those 2 girls who hold a divinity over death and blood.” said Nyx
“That’s impossible I’m almost twice as strong and fast compared to them. There’s no way you can move at a speed I can’t see or be strong enough to push me that far back with a flick.” said a clearly irritated Zero
“I’ve already told you that you’re not using your abilities to their maximum potential. I didn’t just mean your skills but your body as well. I believe it was around when you became a dhampir that your ability to improve became stagnant. Your stats increased but you took no time to understand your body strength and because of that you’re not able to exert 65% of your body's physical potential.” said Nyx
“That’s impossible!” yelled Zero
“If you truly believe that then why don’t you appraise my abilities since I rebooted the Chaos System for you when I repaired your soul? Check my abilities and prove me wrong.” said Nyx

“That’s impossible.” said a clearly shocked Zero as he looked at the stats of his mother. She had moved so fast he hadn’t processed it until it was too late and commanded strength that he himself couldn’t hope to exert even now.
“Well now that you understand what I mean verbally it’s time you understood it physically.” said Nyx as she closed the distance between them yet again. This time she didn’t flick Zero but gave a palm thrust to Zero’s chest causing him to disappear.
The palm thrust had caused Zero to be sent flying at an unbelievable speed that it would seem to others that he teleported. Zero was struggling as the attack had crushed all his ribs and knocked the wind out of him completely causing him to struggle to breathe. Before Zero even began to slow down he felt another palm thrust from behind which caused major damage to Zero’s spine.
Nyx caught Zero’s flying body with one hand. Zero looked to be in a vast amount of pain despite his pain suppressant skill and tough body. Zero’s body had begun to heal so he tried to teleport away only to find out that he couldn’t.
“If you’re trying to teleport or use skills don’t bother I’ve nullified your skill and mana. This is what I mean to say when I tell you that you’re not using your power to its fullest.” explained Nyx as she released Zero who dropped and floated in front of Nyx. Nyx waved her finger and Zero turned to face her and she said, “This is what hubris gets you in the end, my son. It’s better for you to take my lesson to heart than to learn it from an enemy trying to kill you. This same hubris has even caused some gods to fall at the hands of mortals. I’m doing this for your own good so even if you resent me take my lesson to heart. I don’t want you to die Zero.”
Despite the pain, he was in Zero looked at Nyx and really absorbed the harsh lesson from her. He knew that she was being harsh out of her love for him and was doing her best to keep him alive.
