Chapter 2392
My Substitute CEO Bride
Right at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past.
Nash was also keenly aware that someone had appeared in his room. He turned around and looked.
"Dusky? Why are you here?"
Dusky had already arrived from the Western Territory. He said with a smile, "I had
to come. This is the birth of the first god candidate, after all."
"God candidate? What do you mean?"
Dusky said, "Ronan. He now has the ability to become a god, so I'm here to facilitate this matter."
Nash was reminded of something and asked, "Shouldn't we at least save him first?"
Unexpectedly, Dusky shook his head in denial. "No, it's not a big deal."
Nash suddenly became nervous. Was Dusky's purpose different from theirs now?
"No need? What do you mean?"
Dusky walked toward the balcony. He looked at the brightly lit city and explained, "Not all stories should have happy endings, and not all endings are affected by the story. Do you understand what I mean?"
Nash looked at Dusky with confusion. The guy did not seem to be talking to him. Nash simply looked into the distance and found Clint standing in the building opposite.
Dusky continued, "Actually, Clint knew from the start that Ronan was one of the god candidates. He was just in denial."
"Denial?"
In the opposite building, the divine rune inside Clint's trouser pocket was still glowing with a faint golden light. Clint looked at Dusky without saying a word. He could also hear what Dusky said, or rather, whatever Dusky deliberately wanted him to hear.
Dusky continued to provoke Clint by saying, "He doesn't want Ronan to become a god. A big part of this is his own selfishness. He has experienced the Sun and Moon Sovereign and doesn't wish to let his family become gods.
"Ronan has met all the conditions and is fully equipped to become a god. The only step left is to have Ronan overcome the demonic energy without being devoured, then he'll pass the test given to him by the divine runes.
"This is why he wanted you to come no matter what. As long as you dispel the true energy in Ronan's body, then Ronan will fail the test and no longer be a candidate."
With that, Nash understood Clint's intention. It turned out that Clint had always known about Ronan's situation.
Nash asked again, "What if Ronan fails to absorb the demonic energy?"
Dusky glanced at Nash and then smiled disdainfully. "Both you and Clint are such control freaks."
"What do you mean?" Nash felt a little uncomfortable.
Dusky said in a solemn tone this time, "I know that this is a normal situation from a human's perspective, but what about Ronan? What does he truly want?" "Ronan? What do you mean?"
Dusky continued, "Do you think you're the only ones who know the side effects of that ability? Don't you think Ronan, as a user, has no idea about it?"
"He... must know..."
"Correct. He knew it, but he still used his ability for Clint's sister. In my opinion, his conscience is very strong, making him worthy of becoming a god. Do you think it's okay for you to do this now?
"Ronan never told anybody about this. Wasn't he trying to endure this alone? This is definitely something he had made up his mind on a long time ago, but now, you're denying his effort by not wanting to believe in his conscience."
Nash retorted, "You're right, but this is the bond between family members. Do we just let Clint watch Ronan suffer in pain like this?"
"You're so arrogant," Dusky mocked.
"You!" Nash stood up at this time and stared at Dusky.
Dusky sighed. "Everything I said earlier was just nonsense."
He recalled the situation when he had to watch Zirconia helplessly during the giant tree crisis. At that time, he believed in her, but the outcome had been a foregone conclusion. Hence, he did not have much expectations.
Perhaps Ronan's situation would turn out to be a little different this time?
