Chapter 1299 Are you sure?

"Hey Nemo, how have you been?" Lex asked as he waved his hand.

"Oh I was fine. I was getting ready to take a nap. It's been a few years since I last slept so I thought it was about time. Who's your friend?"

Nemo looked curiously at Liz, with a hint of excitement as well. Lex usually didn't bring many people to meet Nemo, mostly because the system refused to temper the aura of a Sovereign, and Nemo had not learned how to do that himself yet. "Nemo, this is my sister, Liz. Liz, this is Nemo, a Sovereign. Have you ever heard of Sovereigns?"

Lex had his Domination wrapped around Liz, protecting her from the intensity of Nemo's aura. Even so, she stood completely bewildered. Even without feeling its aura, Nemo's majesty could not be denied. More importantly, her physique was going crazy.

In one instant, it was longing for Nemo as if the very purpose of its existence was to bond with Nemo. The next moment, it was as if to even be in the presence of Nemo was a blasphemy to all that was good and holy hitherto unseen by the universe. Amidst that raging battle against the instincts of her physique, she had to struggle with her own brain which was telling her that this magnificent Beast, which was beyond anything else she had ever seen, was looking at her like a curious little child, looking at a new toy. How was that possible? She had to be hallucinating.

"Hello Liz. Will you be coming here often? I like making new friends."

Lex could have given Liz more of a warning about Nemo, but that would not be genuine, which Nemo could probably sense. The only way this would ever work was if everything was authentic and genuine. Now it was up to Liz to see if she could get Nemo to bond with her. First, however, he needed to give both of them a warning about the associated dangers.

"Nemo, Liz is here to talk to you about something. But before that happens, I just want to talk to you both about something. Nemo is a Sovereign. Liz, you might not know what that means, and Nemo you might not understand its significance. In essence, what that means is that Nemo is very special, and very powerful, but he is not invincible.

One by one, he made note of the ones he could deal with currently, and planned out how to deal with those who were too strong for him at the moment.

It was actually four hours later that Liz signaled him to return.

"Nemo has agreed to bond with me," Liz said in a solemn, almost slightly fearful voice.

"That's good. Are you sure you want to do this? It's a lot of power, but it's also an immense risk. A Dao Lord is not something you or I can face right now."

"It's only death if I fail, what's the big deal? Living in constant fear and suppression - that's what really frightens me."

Lex nodded.

"What do you need? What can I expect?"

"Honestly, I have no idea. I guess we'll find out."

Lex looked at Nemo, who was practically jumping with excitement.

"And you? Are you sure about this?"
