After Lord Kurtain arrived, the Meditation Aura, with black and white particles, began to appear as a beautiful woman teleported into the garden outside the huge white mansion.
Looking at her, every guest was immediately shocked by her figure and ethereal beauty.
This was a tall woman with a delicate figure, shaped like an hourglass.
She wore an opaque black veil that was translucent in some parts and reached down to the ground, and a full-sleeve black robe inlaid with black jewelry and charms of all kinds.
Every visible part of her body had been inlaid with some type of jewelry.
The veil hid her eyes and showed a bit of her nose and lips, coated with red lipstick.
Her skin was as pale as white; there were clear spider-like designs on her veil.
She had six arms, two primary and four secondary, two coming out of her rib cage and two from her waist.
Her body had an hourglass figure, with her medium-sized chest and hips. She looked very attractive and seductive.
She had a mysterious and ethereal aura around her that made people unable to even be in the same room as her without feeling terrified.
Looking at her, all the men in the hall were excited.
They had all heard about this beauty, but finally got the chance to meet her.
"Lady Noctia is indeed very beautiful, worthy of being one of the top ten beauties of the Aura region."
In every region, there was a list of the top ten beauties. Lady Noctia was currently in the fourth position.
Many factors contribute to your ranking on the list, like physical beauty, personality, charm, and many other things.
There are competitions to get others to admire your charm and recognize your beauty in the main city of the Romani family.
Obviously, these types of competitions are only for women. Men have fights in battle, considering life and death, in the main city of the Ardyn family, a lot.
"I wonder how many proposals she gets in a year."
"My life would be worth it if she looked at me even once."
The single men were talking and laughing with each other, smiling and cheering each other on.
On the other hand, the ones with their partners had to stay expressionless, being afraid to even think the wrong thing with their partner's gaze on them.
Sasaki was expressionless. He had lived most of his life as a Living Corpse. Lust was something he had never experienced much, and he had strong willpower to resist any lust-type attacks on him.
Not to mention that he had Alia staring up at him, and this was his wedding...
He, however, couldn't help but think of Alia.
"I really love her, though."
A small blush secretly appeared on his cheeks that only Supernovas could see. He was clearly embarrassed as he had the urge to activate his Living Corpse form, which he quickly decided not to do.
All the other Supernovas didn't even bother to notice the blush and kept thinking about their own stuff.
Alia, who was sitting with Chris and Sylvana while trying to make Alisa go to sleep, looked at Sasaki and noticed his blush.
She was about to transmit some curses to him, just when a black and brown-skinned humanoid creature with a huge body and an ugly face came out of her shoulder a little and said, "Nix has contacted me to clarify that he is blushing while thinking about you. Sigh, lovebirds."
Alia's cheeks turned a little pink after hearing this.
She screamed at this cursed spirit.
"Why is that bastard blushing while thinking about me! And Kung, go back!"
Kung heaved a deep sigh as he returned inside Alia's body.
This was a Supernova-level curse spirit that Alia had made a contract with in her youth. It was a very strong ally of hers and a major core of her battle strength and many techniques.
Soon, Sasaki's smile faded as he looked at Lady Noctia expressionlessly.
She also decided not to pursue the matter that had just happened. She was a Supernova of the Mind Pathway; she had obviously noticed the small blush he had.
But so what?
Pursuing insignificant matters like these would just ruin her image and reputation.
She knew better what to pursue and make a big fuss about, and what not. Not to mention that she was right here as a guest.
She walked up the white stairs as Sasaki and Lady Noctia bowed.
With a shallow bow, Lady Noctia caused the dark jewels and charms adorning her black robe to tinkle softly.
She then handed him his wedding gift.
A black, mind-shaped charm that had the size of a baby's fist flew out of her robe and started to float in front of Sasaki's face as it let out a white light.
"I request that young Lord Sasaki accept this inheritance of one of the past family heads of my esteemed Sophia Family, the Mind Weaver."
Sasaki gladly accepted the gift and let the charm enter his world of consciousness and subconsciousness.
As the charm broke down, a huge amount of knowledge comprising history, many techniques, Auras, combat experience, and tips on growing Mind Pathway resources like the Emotion Devourers and memory prints flooded in.
Sasaki was calm from the outside, but inside, he gritted his teeth a little.
"She is indeed a smart woman. Back in the day, I had lost to her once and had to search for all types of Mind Pathway inheritances and piece them together to make many techniques to counter her techniques and methods."
"But in the end, even after I defeated her, it was only because I had made some techniques specifically to target and counter her methods. So, I kept looking for more inheritances and kept modifying them."
"This is a complete Supernova-level Mind Pathway major true inheritance, but its methods are very similar to hers and can't help me much in modifying my techniques, and neither do the other guests know the contents of this inheritance, nor has she mentioned the name of this inheritance."
"I shall let this matter go today, but I will get back at you for this one day."
Sasaki was not a petty person at all. Neither was he prideful nor arrogant, but he knew that if he showed weakness at this point, his life would become much harder, and the others would think of him as a weakling.
He didn't want to get his reputation ruined, too.
He showed a warm smile outward and gestured for Lady Noctia to go inside. Lady Noctia walked inside as everyone stared at her. Two Hypernovas came and escorted her to her room.
"This way, my lady."
...
Meditation Aura with cherry pink particles flowed in as another beautiful woman appeared.
At her arrival, the entire garden seemed to be sprayed with a sweet aroma as everyone felt their bodies go numb and become relaxed.
Every single discomfort that they had been feeling in their body seemed to completely disappear at that instant.
The person who had just appeared was Idrila Romani, the family head of the Romani family, which presides over the Beauty Pathway.
She was also an Aura user of the Beauty Pathway.
The technique she had used was called: "Arousal Becomes Aroma."
She had deliberately chosen to come after Lady Noctia arrived due to this exact reason.
She was tall and had a thin figure with long, silky black hair that flowed down to her waist and red eyes that seemed like two beautiful and attractive crystals.
Her skin was as fair as it could be; her figure was seductive and yet graceful.
Every part of her body complemented the other, making her beautiful, charming, and graceful at the same time.
She was the top beauty of the Aura region; her spot on the list of the top ten beauties of the Aura region was number one!
It could be said that only a handful of people can match her beauty, and that is only uncertain because nobody knows much about the other regions.
Ever since the end of the Dystopian War, the three regions had stopped interacting with each other, and rarely does anyone go to another region, so it was sensible that setting her place in beauty in the entire universe was difficult.
She turned around with her slender and delicate figure. Her crystal-like eyes landed on Sasaki as a small smile formed on her face.
Just this smile made many men in the hall feel weak as their faces went red and they looked away.
But Sasaki was still expressionless. He commented inwardly, "Such a crude technique, even my passive defenses don't need to expend themselves to defend against this technique."
"But the Beauty Pathway is not focused on battles anyway."
Idrila slowly walked up to Sasaki and climbed the stairs slowly as she raised her red and black gown a little and walked carefully.
She bowed calmly and gracefully to Sasaki as Sasaki returned the bow.
She gifted him a large resource point that forms red mirror hearts every year in a huge amount.
Sasaki was ready to see her go, but she transmitted, "Lord Sasaki, I would like to buy some information on the third one. Might you be so magnanimous as to sell me some?"
Her voice was very sweet, like a strawberry, and smooth as butter. Any man would fall for any request of hers.
"In the end, the Beauty Pathway is indeed a derived pathway of the Deceiver Pathway."
Sasaki heaved a sigh as he asked, "And why might you be interested in this information?"
Her smile turned more cheeky as she said in a meek voice,
"Why do you ask? Are you perhaps jealous?"
They went back and forth like this, but Sasaki was unrelenting. He refused any amount of resources, materials, or inheritances.
They talked for quite some time. Even the guests inside were confused, but they didn't complain as they could look at Lady Idrila longer; even the females were happy to look at her.
...
Soon, Lord Excalibur Blackknight of the Blackknight Family,
Elder Alma Gabriel of the Gabriel Family,
Lord Kaelix of the Intuiti Family,
Prince Sage of the Noam Family,
Elder Lumora of the Visionary Family,
The Grand Tempest of the Emetra Family,
Young Lord Solaris of the Lumina Family,
Venerable Eclipse of the Sasrir Family,
Lord Seraph of the Kennedy Family,
Leonidas of the Ardyn Family,
Princess Eris of the Lilith Family,
Justiciar Aegis of the Judicia Family,
Lord Aion of the Aroa Family, and finally, Lord Specular of the Symmetra Family.
They all appeared one by one; some came together, many came alone, and brought a huge amount of gifts, arriving grandly.
They all brought many gifts, and most of them were large resources, even a mega resource point. Sasaki was a little happy, but he was also getting a headache because he would have to assign many people to go and protect, maintain, and develop these resource points. He knew that this was basically impossible for him to do. Not to mention the high amount of time, skills, resources, and effort he would have to spend to make these resource points truly profitable.
Not to mention that he would definitely have to spend a huge amount of money, materials, and some inheritances to buy the best methods to cultivate and utilize these resources for optimal and efficient production.
"I would sell some of these resource points to buy some materials and accumulate some funds at best."
Every Supernova had arrived, and that concluded all the guests. No True Supernova was coming to this wedding.
"I wish Lord Alexander could have come to this wedding."
"I think that this is a regret too. I really hoped that I would be able to see a True Supernova, but it seems that I was wrong."
Many of the guests were regretful of not being able to get the chance to see a True Supernova.
But Sasaki was still standing outside, looking up to the side as if waiting for someone.
Many guests noticed this and started to whisper to each other.
Sylvana was confused and looked at Alia. Alia turned to Sylvana slightly as she kissed the cheeks of the cutely sleeping Alisa and answered softly before Sylvana could ask anything.
"There is still a special guest remaining."
