The room went dead silent, and everyone’s mind raced. ‘Beyond S–level… Could she really be SS–level? No wonder she can get out–of–control beastmen to settle down.” 

In the history of the empire, no SS–level female had ever been recorded. 

There were a few SS–level males in every age–like the current Crown Prince and the famous War God Felix. But because there was no female capable of soothing them, they were always at risk of losing control completely. 

Even the Crown Prince’s position was starting to waver, with some people whispering about backing other princes to take the throne. Besides, Felix hadn’t been on the battlefield for years. 

But if Nyx could awaken SS–level mental power, she would become the empire’s only hope. She would be the destined spouse for these powerful males and become their 

only salvation 

Zayne glanced at Nyx, surrounded by so many admiring eyes, and felt a pang of bitterness in his chest. 

But it It was good for Nyx to awaken such high–level mental power, and he was genuinely happy for her. But it also meant that not only Theon, but all the powerful figures in the empire would become his rivals. 

He had once scorned those males who always fought to win favor and attention from females, but now, he accepted that he also had become part of that competition. 

Zayne’s gaze darkened as the thoughts crossed his mind. 

He had fought his way out of the Desolate Planet, from nothing to where he was today. He had done things that others thought impossible, and he had never feared competing against the strong. 

Taking a deep breath, Zayne spoke, “You had a checkup just yesterday, and at the time, your mental fluctuations were still pretty faint. The fact that they’ve spiked so high so quickly means you’re about to fully awaken.” 

He explained that when a female officially awakened, her mental power would go into a kind of eruption, and all the males nearby would sense it. The higher the mental power level, the farther the range of influence. 

An E–level female awakening would affect only 3.3 feet or so around her. 

An A–level would affect an entire building. 

An S–level would affect an entire city’s males. 

If a female with SS–level power awakened, no one knew just how far her influence could reach. But one thing was for sure- it would be earth–shattering. 

During this kind of eruption, the female would be sent to the Holy Ground to receive blessings from the Divine Tree. Only once the eruption settled down would the awakening be complete 

The Holy Ground was said to be the origin place of beastmen. The Divine Tree, a relic from ancient times, was said to have stood for billions of years, long before the rise of the empire. 

In the era of widespread atheism in the empire, most people didn’t believe in the blessings of the Sacred Tree anymore, but the tradition was still carried on as a ceremonial rite. 

A tree that has lived for billions of years… Nyx was stunned when she heard Zayne’s explanation. She was trying to process

everything, but before she knew it, she realized she was surrounded by intense, almost fanatical gazes.

“Seems like you don’t have a spouse yet, right?” one of the officers asked. “If you’re not satisfied with the males around you, we can recommend some excellent ones. We have lots of types for you to choose…” 

After all, Nyx was about to be an S–level female. Everyone wanted to be close to her. Just being around her and serving her would be an honor. And considering how sweet and approachable she was, with none of the typical airs other females had, no male could stay indifferent. 

Nyx quickly shook her head, signaling a firm no. “I’m satisfied with the males around me now. It’s my issue. I don’t want to get married yet.” 

Nyx thought, “Zayne is perfect. He is top–tier handsome, thoughtful, and capable of both handling work stuff and cooking a perfect meal. On Earth, I would never meet a man as exceptional as him. It’s my own problem. The emotional scars from my past made me hesitant about marriage. 

‘Besides, Beastmen live up to 500 years, while I’m just a human who would be lucky to live a few decades. I’m not sure how long I can live, so I won’t tie myself to someone permanently. 

Although Nyx took all the blame on herself, Zayne still ended up getting the full brunt of the disapproving glares, with everyone blaming him for not winning Nyx’s heart. 

Nyx felt sorry about it. 

On the way home, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Suddenly, she realized how selfish she had been. She kept Zayne and Theon by her side as her guardians without intending to bond with them. She was holding them back from finding their own partners. 

“What’s on your mind?” Zayne asked, his gray–blue eyes reflecting Nyx’s image. “Can I help with anything? 

His gentle tone only made Nyx feel worse. Nyx lowered her head and mumbled, “Being my guardian doesn’t really seem like it’s doing you any favors. Maybe we should call it off.” 

Zayne froze for a moment and then forced a smile, trying to stay calm. “No, I don’t need any favors. You said we’re family, and that’s all I want. You’ve already done more than enough for me.” 

His voice dropped slightly, taking on a more vulnerable tone. “You know, I’m an orphan. I’ve never had a family…” 

Nyx felt a pang in her chest. Hearing him say that was like hearing someone say they were abandoned by the world, and it made her feel like the worst person alive. 

She had essentially taken him in like a stray dog, pampered him for a while, and then suddenly wanted to throw him away because she thought he wasn’t free enough. 

Thinking of all that, Nyx felt terrible about herself. But then, out of nowhere, Zayne suddenly crouched down and transformed into a giant snow wolf! 

Nyx didn’t expect Zayne’s beast form to be a huge, white wolf! Thank goodness the spaceship had enough space, or this massive beast wouldn’t even have fit inside. 

The snow wolf was enormous, yet it somehow managed to look pitiful. It tilted its head up to look at Nyx, its eyes full of longing. 

The effect of its fluffy fur and sad–eyed gaze was ten times stronger than in human form. Nyx’s heart practically melted, and before she could stop herself, she blurted out, “Okay, okay, I’m still your family! We’re not breaking up the bond!”
