Chapter 174 - Mia’s Worry

Chapter 174: 174 - Mia’s Worry

Nexus’s final words, along with his sudden departure, left everyone dumbfounded. Now, although they were annoyed, none of them dared to curse at Nexus because they had already been subdued by his absolute power just now.

Up in the sky, Nexus and Lailah didn’t go far either. They only flew up to about twenty thousand meters.

Although it was very far, the white dragon was huge, so the hunters down below with eyesight many times better than ordinary people could definitely see him clearly.

Because of this, Nexus also used his invisibility ability to create the effect of flying up for a moment before suddenly disappearing like just now.

"Hahaha, the elites of humanity saw me and wanted to kneel but couldn’t, so they had to lie flat on the ground."

Nexus suddenly burst out laughing. Now that no one could see him anymore, he didn’t need to keep the cold and arrogant expression he had just now.

"Hey, are you considering going back to how you were before now? I feel like you’re getting crazier and crazier."

Lailah glanced at Nexus. It was true that he hadn’t seriously injured anyone, but she felt like the extent of his outrageous behavior was getting higher and higher.

"I didn’t rob them. If I damaged the buildings, I immediately had the system repair them. I saw everyone getting tired from standing, so I gave them a chance to lie down and rest. They’re just mortals. Don’t you think a great existence like me has treated them too well?"

Nexus’s ridiculous reasoning that somehow sounded reasonable suddenly left Lailah not knowing what useful thing to say.

It was true that there was no problem materially. But don’t you see that the spirits of thousands of people were heavily damaged by you?

In theory, there was nothing wrong with Lailah’s question. But she wasn’t stupid. Seeing Nexus use all kinds of random reasoning to argue, she immediately understood that he would argue to the end, so saying anything was useless.

"Alright. I don’t even know what to say to you anymore."

Miserable like this, she had to put three lollipops in her mouth at once before she could feel better. Lailah temporarily had no intention of trying to advise Nexus anymore.

The silence in the plaza still covered everything. At this moment, no one knew what to say, nor did they know what to do.

Even a principal like Zero temporarily had no idea how to continue the opening ceremony in the most proper way.

In the several decades of the academy’s operation, this was the only year when it had such a complete mess of an opening ceremony.

Bell and Draven had also gone down because they had nothing left to do. No one knew where Draven went, but Bell went over to Mia.

Mia wasn’t standing with the other students but was waiting behind Bell. Because of this, she was lucky enough not to be crushed flat onto the ground by Nexus’s pressure.

"I offended Nexus like that... Doesn’t that mean I’m screwed?"

She recognized Nexus because she had met him before. Moreover, she had even pointed at his face and angrily cursed at him. It was just that she didn’t know his name at the time, so when she heard Lailah and Bell talking about Nexus, she felt confused.

Thinking about how she had once angrily called an existence with such an absurd level of strength trash, Mia suddenly shivered even though the weather wasn’t cold.

"Bell!"

Bell hadn’t even reached her yet when she hurriedly ran over to him. She wasn’t crying, which already meant she was doing her best to hold herself back.

Seeing her flustered appearance, the corner of Bell’s mouth curled up slightly. Other than being scared half to death by Nexus, what else could it be?

"Haha, don’t panic like that. If Nexus wanted to punish you, you’d have died long ago and wouldn’t still have the chance to stand here."

Although he was Mia’s boyfriend, Bell calmly said such cold words. He didn’t even show the slightest attitude of wanting to protect his girlfriend.

As a practical person, Mia didn’t think there was anything wrong with Bell’s words either. It wasn’t like there was any pure and sweet love between the two of them. This was just a relationship that benefited both of them.

"Are you serious?"

Even though she understood, this concerned her own life, so Mia couldn’t immediately believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? Pay close attention to his actions. Is anyone injured? As long as you don’t deliberately piss him off, I guarantee he has no reason to kill you..."

Bell patted her shoulder a few times to reassure her, but suddenly remembered Nexus’s current arrogant personality, so he added another sentence.

"Of course, there’s nothing strange about him suddenly going crazy and making you kneel and flatter him, so don’t overreact."

Just when Mia was relieved that her life wouldn’t be in danger, her eyelids twitched unconsciously again. Kneeling down and flattering Nexus for no reason... No one could feel happy about such a humiliating act.

"Sigh, it’s not that hard to accept."

Feeling unhappy didn’t mean Mia wouldn’t accept it. She was clear-headed enough to know that confronting Nexus was just a quick way to get herself killed.

At the same time, Zero had just thought of what to say next to keep everyone’s spirits up. He wasn’t sure whether it would work, but it wasn’t a bad way to continue.

"How do you feel when faced with Nexus’s power?"

The quiet plaza remained quiet. The only difference was the expressions of the students here.

It was obvious that they were afraid of Nexus’s absolute power, but they didn’t say it out loud. After all, they were all geniuses of their generation. Suddenly telling thousands of people that they were afraid was also very difficult to say.

Their expressions were all caught by Zero’s eyes. The reaction was exactly as expected. He could continue talking like this.

"That feeling of despair doesn’t feel good, does it? It’s no different from the feeling I had when I first faced monsters thirty years ago."

Zero’s voice was calm, but it made all the students look up at him. He was someone who had lived through history, unlike these young people who had only heard stories about it.
