Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System Chapter 517 - Your wife

The process commenced with haste.

However, before the official proceedings commenced, Noah requested access to all knowledge and information concerning rituals, stored within Luminara's consciousness.

She couldn't fathom his reasoning but felt no inclination to conceal anything from herself, let alone from Noah, and certainly not something as seemingly insignificant as rituals.

With that done and the information secured, events unfolded naturally. Noah first bound Luminara to himself, drawing a fragment of her very

existence into his being.

Subsequently, he employed Atom Manipulation upon her, deconstructing Luminara down to her most fundamental constituent elements.

One moment she was a breathtaking woman. The next, she was being dismantled piece by piece. From flesh and bone to organs, then cells, and finally, a dispersed cluster of purplish-blue atoms.

The surrounding atmosphere grew dense and hallowed, as if Noah were enacting a deed deserving of profound reverence. Which, in truth, it was, for the act of Creation is a privilege few possess the right to undertake.

Laeh observed from a distance, her gaze intense. Despite being a Will of a Unique World, she could not quell the encroaching dread that seeped back into her heart as she felt her brother's power strike her with the force of a physical barrier.

It was unlike anything she had ever witnessed.

And in that very instant, a peculiar sensation stirred within her. It was accompanied by a whisper that instilled in her a feeling surpassing mere fear.

'He possesses the ability to unmake you!

Laeh accepted this revelation without a shred of doubt. Noah could indeed unmake her and

reduce her to nothing more than fleeting memories. And even that would be an act of mercy on his part.

At this bone-chilling realization, and as the very essence of Luminara unraveled before their eyes, Laeh found herself smiling.

Because she remembered that Noah was her brother. She remembered Noah's place within their family.

And that recollection brought forth a surge of pride, joy, and an urgent desire to become someone worthy of the title 'his sister'.

‘A pattern I've grown all too familiar with!’ Laeh mused inwardly.

Everyone gravitating towards Noah primarily sought one objective: to attain sufficient strength to avoid becoming mere dust on the ground beside him.

This was a driving force that Noah never imposed upon them through his demeanor or his words. It was a conclusion they each reached independently, through careful observation.

Noah simply was who he was. And they recognized that their current selves were insufficient for someone of his stature.

But who uttered these sentiments?

Noah himself never spoke such words.

Yet, another question lay hidden beneath that thought.

Who determined their inherent worth?

Not Noah. Not the universe. They themselves did. And if they had concluded that they required more to stand alongside him, then, naturally, they would strive to attain it.

‘We confine ourselves. We are aware of it. We comprehend it with agonizing clarity. Yet, we remain unable to break free. Just as you perpetually seek more, brother, we too desire more.’

Laeh contemplated, her expression serene, her heart resolute, a significant decision quietly solidified within her core.

But beneath all of this, a subtle, unheard yet deeply ingrained question, whispered through her mind like a gentle breeze.

‘When will we ever have sufficient?’

The thought was ephemeral. It vanished as swiftly as it had emerged, as if it were never intended to be voiced.

She redirected her focus to the scene unfolding before her.

Noah stood with his palm extended upwards, an eye suspended just above it.

The mere sight of it caused Laeh's knees to buckle more forcefully than she would have preferred. She felt something within her body give a distinct creak, and her head bowed low against her will. She inwardly cursed her predicament.

‘The Eye of the Progenitor!’ She inwardly exclaimed, unable to comprehend how that wretched being Luminara could have originated from such an entity.

‘Interesting,’ Noah murmured, unfazed by the torrent of immense power emanating from the eye like an unending river.

The eye was truly a sight to behold. Its iris was a vibrant yellow, with the pupil shaped like an X. One half of the X – the / – was frosted over, appearing like ice. The other half – the - curved gracefully like a feline's tail.

And this eye was gazing directly at Noah, radiating an ancient, primordial lineage as old as the universe itself.

Noah discerned in that moment that he was beholding the Progenitor of the Divine Beasts.

‘Vaelgrim,’ the eye intoned, its sound reminiscent of the mournful howl of a thousand wolves under a full moon.

‘Ah, so you recognize me,’ Noah's expression shifted into a wide grin. ‘Well, you see,’ he continued, ‘I would have returned your eye had I not recently received a rather compelling proposition. That is no longer feasible, of course. Unless, naturally, you accept mine.’

‘What proposition, Vaelgrim?’

‘I desire your wife,’ Noah declared with an utterly straight face.

Laeh, kneeling to the side, nearly choked on her own saliva.

‘What in the heavens is my brother saying?’

She was not the sole individual pondering this question.

‘What?’ The single word was accompanied by a harrowing crackle of thunder that seemed to rend the

heavens.

Noah casually waved his right hand, transforming the blue-purple thunder into a gentle surge of energy that dissipated harmlessly into the surrounding environment.

The Progenitor's fury intensified even further.

"You heard me." Noah declared, a smirk playing on his lips that was almost unbearable to witness. "I've seen your wife through Luminara's memories. And honestly, I'll let you live if you willingly agree to let me have a simple meal with her. Just a meal. I'm not demanding you hand her over."

"You are attempting to disgrace me."

"Indeed. But answer my question before we get to that. Will you meet her-!"

"I will not." The Progenitor interrupted, his wrath evident, his pupils constricting until they were no longer visible. "A being of your standing, Vaelgrim, stooping to attack a man's honor through his wife. You are undeserving of your Epithet. You are not worthy, Vaelgrim!" "Let's revisit this on the day you are the one who gets to judge my worth,

beast."

"We shall encounter each other again soon." The Progenitor spat.

"Don't be so impatient." Noah chuckled. "You will either perish or face something worse."

"We shall see about that." the Divine Beast stated.

"We all await you, O Prince. You have felled the World Tree and the Dragon's Tail. However, you have not defeated a significant portion of us, and certainly not the strongest among us. If you genuinely believe this universe belongs to you...

"I have loftier ambitions. Speak to me of Reality instead."

"...then you are in for an unexpected turn of events."

The eye fell silent, then, without any preamble, it exploded into a cloud of ash composed of frost and vaporized blood.

The Progenitor's presence vanished entirely. The Divine Beast had self-destructed its own eye, thereby ending its very existence. With this act, Luminara was officially no more.

At the very least, that was the Progenitor's conviction.

Noah observed the spectacle with eyes gleaming with amusement. He then raised his hand, placed it against his own neck, and severed his jugular veins.

Laeh, now standing upright, shrieked in alarm.

Noah's expression was unyielding.

He gathered the jugular veins, the residual ash left by the Progenitor, and the fragment of Luminara's Existence he had secured via the binding.

He clasped them all together.

"Reborn anew, mother-in-law." And Luminara was resurrected. -End of Chapter 517-
