Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 170: Finding a way to win

While the others were having dinner and relaxing around the campfire, Nemo, sitting in the tent, was thinking hard about how to defeat Geminia.

But no matter how much he racked his brain, not a single worthwhile idea appeared in his mind.

”Nemo, donʼt worry, with my help you can defeat her!” Izzy confidently encouraged him.

”No, Izzy, itʼs not as simple as you think,” Nemo replied.

Watching the battles of Eulalia, Esma, and Sierra, Nemo realized that in a duel with Geminia, it was necessary to find a way to determine the winner immediately after the start of the fight.

The battle of attrition is immediately eliminated, as Geminia has an inexhaustible reserve of strength due to the Energy of Madness that fills the entire Forbidden Zone.

If Geminia hadnʼt rejected him right away and asked the others to stand against her, Nemo wouldnʼt have realized how wrong heʼd been all along.

If Nemo had gone out to fight then, he would most likely have fought the same way as with the rest of the doppelgangers. He probably would have dragged out the fight and ended up defeated.

As for Izzyʼs help, after Sierraʼs words about Geminia being able to copy her opponent almost perfectly, Nemo realized that Geminia would probably be able to copy his contract as well, as well as the bond that exists between him, Izzy, and Kitty.

In that case, Izzyʼs help might be useless. Nemo wasnʼt sure about this, but all his observations indicated Geminia was capable of it.

Having found no other way to surpass his current self that Geminia could copy, Nemo saw no point in going up against her.

Yes, that was exactly what he needed—to find a way to surpass himself the moment the battle began and Geminia took on his form. He needs to find a way to defeat himself in almost one move.

Sierraʼs words confirmed this theory.

As beings of the higher realm, Sierra and Esma were limited in their abilities and powers by the rules of this world. Under such conditions, it would be almost impossible for them to increase their power enough to defeat their ideal doppelganger, who has an almost endless supply of energy.

Perhaps Milica realized this too and came to the conclusion that she would never be able to reach the Temple. After all, she was also a being of the highest realm, whose abilities and cultivation were limited by the rules of this world.

But Nemo was aware that this only applies to this Forbidden Zone, the Forest of Doppelgangers. According to Geminia, the Guardian of the Temple was connected to the most Forbidden Zone where the Temple appeared.

Nemo shook his head and sighed, continuing his search for a way to resist Geminia. He was trying to think of something that could help him. However, no matter how much he thought, nothing came to mind.

At that moment, while he was thinking, Idan entered the tent.

Idan immediately noticed Nemo, who was sitting deep in thought.

After entering the room, Idan sat down and waited for Nemo to pay attention to him in order to talk.

Nemo didnʼt keep him waiting long. He opened his eyes and looked at Idan, who, without saying a word, continued to wait patiently.

Nemo, a little disappointed that he couldnʼt find a solution on his own, decided to share his discoveries and worries with Idan through a mental link.

Idan listened attentively to Nemo and was pleasantly surprised by how deeply he was immersed in his thoughts. Nemo even noticed something that Idan hadnʼt realized yet.

Idan and Arabel already had a general idea of how to defeat Geminia, but they didnʼt have a clear plan.

They could use the Systemʼs unique ability, the exchange of stats, to instantly increase their strength and surpass Geminia. After all, Geminiaʼs ability to mimic couldnʼt copy the Systemʼs abilities.

Nemo also had this ability, but to activate it, he needed a partner — another Champion, whom Arabel must choose. With this partner, Nemo could use the unique ability to exchange stats. And it is especially important that this partner be close to Nemo, because the number of stat points they could share would most likely depend on their relationship with each other, as in the case of Idan and Arabel.

Nemo had another way that he didnʼt know about. They were damaged Dark Daggers, restraining the spell cast on him.

Idan remembered Lucinda telling him that the Hero had a chance to pass the test thanks to a Sacred Weapon that enhanced him by sharing his power. At that time, Lucinda did not specify which Forbidden Zone the Hero was trying to cross, but even without this information, Idan was sure that Geminiaʼs ability could not copy a Sacred Weapon with its own consciousness.

Nemoʼs Dark Dagger could be compared to a Sacred Staff. However, there was a danger that when using it, the Spell could get out of control, and Nemo risked serious injury or even death.

And then Idan remembered Nemoʼs apprehensions and wondered: is there a difference between being the Master of Sacred Weapons and Tamed beasts? Both require connection with the Master. And if Geminia really could copy that connection, wouldnʼt the Dark Daggers be useless?

The more Idan thought about it, the more confused he became. Without the opportunity to test his theories, everything that came to his mind was just speculation.

Geminia might not be able to copy contracts, in which case Nemo would have plenty of ways to defeat her. However, fearing the worst, Nemo was hesitant to move against Geminia, unsure of how to gain the upper hand.

And then Idan suddenly realized and shook his head in disappointment. All this time, he had overlooked one important aspect that could significantly help them in this situation.

Idan had completely forgotten about the System and its task. After all, the second task of the World Quest was: ”Help your Champion get the key and the clue leading to one of the five ”Thrones of the World Kings”.

The task was about helping, which meant not only helping Nemo get to this point, but also overcoming the obstacle in the form of Geminia. And if Nemo couldnʼt handle the task himself, couldnʼt they find something that would help him? For example, something that can be bought in the ”Trade” function, as they did when they ”helped” him to tame a small beast?

”System, can you suggest anything that will help Nemo defeat Geminia in the ”Trade” function available at our current level?” asked Idan hopefully.

Two windows appeared in front of Idan at once. One of them contained an item that could be purchased in the Trade section, and the second contained something that Idan and Arabel had already purchased before: ”Manual to the ”Path of Beast Tamer” – Rank 2 – Formation of the Second Beast Soul.”

”Huh? System, why are you showing me the ”Manual to the ”Path of Beast Tamer” – Rank 2 – Formation of the Second Beast Soul?” — Idan asked the System.

[Host, the ”Manual to the ”Path of Beast Tamer” — Rank 2 – Formation of the Second Beast Soul” contains knowledge not only about the formation of a Second Beast Soul, but also about the abilities that a Beast Tamer who has formed his Second Beast Soul can learn. Your Champion has not yet discovered these abilities. And they can significantly increase the chances of defeating the Guardian of the Temple!]
