Chapter 385: A Past Relationship

"Enough, both of you!"

At the sound of that voice, the two immediately dispelled their hostile aura.

They turned toward the source and saw an extraordinarily beautiful woman floating about ten meters above them.

The woman had a tall figure, long flowing golden hair, and a blindfold covering both her eyes.

The most striking feature of her appearance was her two pointed ears, marking her as an Elf.

The Singularity of Death furrowed his brow. "Singularity of Life? What are you doing here?"

Among all the Singularities, his relationship with the Singularity of Life was the worst.

This was not without reason. He was the Singularity of Death, representing death, while the woman was the Singularity of Life, representing life.

Naturally, their elements conflicted, making them enemies.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Singularity of Life shot him a sharp glance.

Even with her eyes covered by the green blindfold, the Singularity of Death could still feel her piercing gaze.

"Ahem! I didn’t expect you to come, my beautiful Seria," Nolan teased with a playful smile. "You came at the perfect time, my dear."

He pointed at the Singularity of Death and said, "He started it. He attacked me out of nowhere, and I had no choice but to defend myself. So if you want to blame someone, blame him."

The Singularity of Death grew furious at the baseless accusation.

He pointed back at Nolan with a trembling hand and snapped, "Damn you, Singularity of Chaos! Since when have I ever done that? I never attacked you—unless you attacked me first!"

His breathing was ragged, and his face—hidden behind his half-broken crow mask—was flushed red.

He already knew the Singularity of Chaos was shameless. That was why he disliked the man.

But unexpectedly, the man turned out to be even more shameless than he had imagined.

Seeing the two of them argue, the Singularity of Life waved her hand and cut them off. "Enough! I don’t care about your reasons. What matters right now is that I want you two to stop fighting. Otherwise, I will take decisive action."

A green aura burst from her body, making the area within a two-hundred-meter radius tense.

Nolan shrugged. "Since you said that, then I won’t say anything else."

The gaze of the Singularity of Life shifted to the Singularity of Death.

Feeling that gaze, the Singularity of Death grew reluctant. All of this started because of the Singularity of Chaos.

So why did he have to be the one to give in?

As reluctant as he was, he knew better than anyone that backing down was the best choice right now.

If he insisted, it wouldn’t be surprising if the two of them ended up beating him together.

Facing the Singularity of Chaos alone was already troublesome—let alone if that damn old woman joined in.

"Are you mocking me?" came the cold voice of the Singularity of Life from above.

The Singularity of Death felt embarrassed that she had read his thoughts, but he quickly calmed himself and denied it. "Mocking you? What are you talking about, Singularity of Life? Don’t slander me!"

Then he turned around and said indifferently, "Alright, I’m done with this nonsense. And you, Singularity of Chaos—"

His eyes flashed with vengeance. "Don’t think I’ll forget this debt. Just you wait—I’ll get you back!"

After saying that, his figure scattered into dozens of crows and vanished from sight.

Hearing his threat, Nolan stayed calm and relaxed. Forget the Singularity of Death—he had even humiliated the Singularity of Light before.

If Seria hadn’t intervened, he would’ve beaten that unlucky man to a pulp and embarrassed him far worse than this.

"Ahem! Alright, it’s time to go back now."

Just as he was about to disappear, a gust of wind swept in behind him, and a firm hand gripped his right shoulder.

"Wait a minute. Where do you think you’re going, huh?"

Nolan knew it was Seria. He adjusted his expression, turned around, and smiled at her.

"What is it, Singularity of Life? Do you need something from me?" he asked politely.

Seria looked at the man in the devil mask with a complicated, sorrowful expression.

Still, she quickly composed herself and said, "Shouldn’t you explain everything to me?"

Nolan pretended to look confused. "Explain? What are you talking about?"

Realizing he was still acting dumb, she clenched her fist and swung at him.

Nolan quickly dodged, and her punch missed its target.

Even so, the strike was powerful enough to create a supersonic explosion.

Nolan stayed calm, but cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

That was close,

he muttered with a sigh of relief.

"Are you still pretending?" Seria’s gaze sharpened, filled with hatred and anger.

"Pretending, you say?" Nolan smirked slightly. "Weren’t you the one who chose to end the relationship? So why am I the one being blamed?"

Seria opened her mouth, then closed it again.

Her head lowered slightly, weighed down by sorrow and reluctance.

Nolan sighed softly. There had been a special relationship between him and Seria in the past.

Back then, when he first became the Singularity of Chaos, he had been deeply drawn to Seria.

She was incredibly beautiful and reminded him of his fiancée, Seira.

Maybe because he still carried a bit of regret back then, he tried to approach the elf.

Of course, the result was predictable—Seria rejected him on the spot.

She considered him weak and unworthy of her.

Besides, Seria was an elf who was already quite old.

Most likely, she saw him as nothing more than a child.

Even so, Nolan didn’t give up. He used the knowledge from his previous world to win her over.

Slowly but surely, Seria began to soften toward him. Their awkward relationship also started off quite smoothly.

But in the end, their relationship had to end—because Seria ended it herself.

Her reason was that they shouldn’t be romantically involved.

Both of them were part of the Seven Singularities, and such a relationship could disrupt the balance of the world.

Nolan was clearly saddened, but he was a rational person. In that moment, he also realized that his actions had been selfish.

He had seen Seria as a replacement for his fiancée. In the end, they parted ways forever.

Since then, Nolan had never seen Seria again, and the same was true for her.

That was also why he was so surprised to see Luna in Shion’s office, especially after learning that she was Seria’s granddaughter.

"All right, don’t waste my time." Nolan took two steps back. "Tell me what you need. I want to leave immediately."

Seria took a deep breath and asked, "Why were you and the Singularity of Death fighting?"

"Isn’t it obvious? He is—" Before Nolan could finish, Seria cut him off coldly.

"Don’t lie to me. Do you really think I can be fooled?"

Nolan went silent, smiling sheepishly. He shook his head and lifted his hands slightly.

"Yes, I started it. So, are you going to punish me?"

His purple eyes sparkled playfully.
