My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Angelica, Lumi, and Wendy were stunned after seeing a base several miles in size disappear without a trace. Wendy rubbed her eyes hard, exclaiming, "Oh my god, where did the base go? Did Nash abandon us?"

Lumi closed her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed as she concentrated on what her sister, Euria, was seeing. Euria was currently practicing tank maneuvers at the training ground. Lumi's eyes snapped open, and she murmured, "Strange, the base is still around... My sister is still there. Why can't we see it all of a sudden?"

"That's because I set up a large array around the base," Nash said as he emerged from a ripple in the air.

The three women quickly hid their snacks behind their backs. Nash glanced at them disapprovingly. "Can't you maintain a bit of discipline? While everyone else is training hard, you snuck out to buy snacks?"

"We're just women. Please go easy on us, Commander!" pleaded Lumi coyly.

Nash sighed and let the matter slide. "Follow me and stay close. If you stray too far from me, the array will attack you!" The three hurriedly clung to Nash's arm as he led them forward.

Nash had carved a total of 1,800 patterns to create this massive array. 100 of these were engraved on spirit stones and the remaining 1,700 were etched onto the rocks and trees surrounding the base. He had started the intricate work of carving seven days prior. The array Nash set up was robust enough to withstand attacks from Mystique Loyalty Realm experts, even killing weaker assailants. It also had the additional capability of altering the trajectories of incoming projectiles, such as bullets and artillery shells, by manipulating gravity.

At the heart of the array was a fist-sized spiritual stone, valued at least ten billion. Despite its immense value, Nash had incorporated it into the array.

This particular spiritual stone was essential because it met the conditions needed for the embedment of the Pivot Pattern, which linked the entire formation together. It transformed it from an uncontrollable mechanism into a controllable one.
