1510 The Black Space.
“Relying on luck wasn’t a smart choice from the beginning.”
Vyriana shrugged.
The rest shrugged as well, their thinking was similar to Vyriana’s as well. Or maybe… Vyriana had moulded her thinking in all of them through all that beating.
“Wait, if you found this world before, then why didn’t you attack it then? Why wait? Did you think no one else would find it? Or were you not strong enough to attack it back then?”
Amaya was confused.
“I was summoned back by Aeliana.
And then I met you a lot and started training him.”
Vyriana spoke as she pointed at Nux.
“We created the Zenith Flow and since I was curious as to what the final result would be, I decided to postpone my plans.
I did leave some arrangements so that I would be notified if some other force set their eyes on this world, but if I lose this world even then, Then I can only blame myself for not acting instantly.”
Vyriana shrugged again.
“Heh, just say you were charmed by me and decided to stay with me.” Nux laughed, leering at Vyriana’s body with a greedy look on his face.
“Tsk.”
Vyriana just snorted.
Not denying or accepting his words.
“How strong is this world? How strong is the strongest being that exists in that world?” Felberta questioned with a curious look on her face.
Since Vyriana decided that they were enough to attack and conquer that world, then it mustn’t be very strong, or at least that’s what Felberta thought and she was correct.
The issue wasn’t the beings from that world.
“They would only be low-level Divines at best.”
“What?” Felberta was surprised.
She did expect that world to be weak, but this…
This was a little too much.
“That world is barely a few tens of thousands years old and most of this time, it wouldn’t even have given birth to the intelligent races, the races that run the world are born the latest.
So the so-called strongest beings in that world, if we are considering intelligent beings, they would barely be a few thousand years old, their strength couldn’t possibly be higher than Low-Level Divine.
There could be some beasts having strength comparable to Peak 12 Star Beasts, of course, unlike the weakened beasts in Yrniel, these 12 Star Beasts would be comparable to Complete Cultivators, so their strength might be closer to Peak Divine Stage Cultivators.
Normally, these beasts wouldn’t pose much problem, but since we are trying to devour the world, they will definitely sense the threat and try to stop us.”
Vyriana explained the situation.
Nux nodded in understanding.
His mind instantly started strategizing and coming up with a plan, and no matter how he thought about it… He couldn’t find a way to lose.
“Doesn’t it sound a little too easy?”
He frowned.
As much as he wanted everything to be safe and sound, things being this simple made him more alert. His instincts were warning him.
After all, he had just returned from a world where he killed himself if he made even the smallest of mistakes, heck, most of the time, he was forced to kill himself when he didn’t even make a mistake, just that the path he took wasn’t the correct path.
Anyway, because of his experience, he was much more sensitive and careful than before.
Vyriana’s next words, however, reassured her.
“As I said, it is a young world that didn’t deploy the Protection Barrier. It made a mistake.
Completely destroying and devouring this world was never difficult, even if there are some Peak12 Star Beasts residing in that world, it is not something that could stop us.
The beings of that world, intelligent or not, don’t matter.
The real problem is the other forces that are eyeing that world.
We need to be wary against them since we do not have any information regarding them.”
Vyriana spoke with a solemn look on her face.
“Two High-Level Worlds are currently at War with each other. Normally, you do not see these Wars happen very often. For Lowest or Law Level worlds, things may not be problematic, however, the moment Middle Level or stronger worlds are involved, things become more complicated.
Then, it doesn’t just become a War between two Worlds, it is mostly a War between factions.
A Full-blown War between two High-Level Worlds, I wouldn’t be surprised if even Supreme Worlds are involved in this. Of course, the Lowest, Low, and Middle-Level Worlds related to the two worlds will be at War with each other as well.
The entire universe will see the effects of this war.
If the forces eyeing that world are part of the factions involved in the War, then they might trace our origin in some way and use the chaos to find an excuse and attack Yrniel. Losing that world will be the least of our problems then.”
Vyriana revealed and this time, Nux’s wives turned silent and started thinking with grave looks on their faces.
Nux on the other hand, finally felt relieved.
A known threat was much better than an unknown threat, being overly cautious was better than being careless.
He was a firm believer of this, especially right now, when he was together with his wives. Sure, right now, his wives may be stronger than him, but this didn’t mean he wouldn’t be worried about them.
And honestly, if push comes to shove, Nux was prepared to give it his all and momentarily use all his strength.
It was something that he had been holding back all this time, something that far surpassed even his own expectations.
“So we need to carefully analyse our opponents, and only when we are completely certain about wiping our enemies out, would we commence with our attack.
If there are chances that our opponents might get away, or if they look like they are from higher level worlds, we will abandon that world.”
Vyriana declared.
Nux nodded in understanding. Since he knew next to nothing about the universe, he decided to let Vyriana take charge. He just wanted to use this chance to learn more.
“Question.”
Suddenly, Evane raised her hand with a curious look on her face.
“What is it?” Vyriana questioned.
“What ‘faction’ does Yrniel belong to? Or does it not belong to any?”
It was something all the women had been curious about for a while, they just couldn’t find the right time to ask this question.
Now, however, it seemed like a perfect opportunity.
“Well… fortunately, or unfortunately, Yrniel is placed at what can be called the outskirts of outer space.
It is far away from the epicentre, where the 4 Supreme Worlds and other main powers and factions reside, you can say their influence here isn’t as strong. This is also the reason we aren’t forced to participate in the ongoing War or choose sides.
Of course, there are other independent factions in our region but since most of the worlds here are only Low or Lowest Level worlds, these factions aren’t very strong and they certainly aren’t strong enough to force us to join them.”
“So we do not belong to any faction?”
“That is correct.” Vyriana nodded.
“Why?” Evane couldn’t help but frown.
“Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to join a faction? We know next to nothing about the universe, we don’t even know the names of the 4 Supreme Worlds that supposedly rule over the entire universe. We can be called the lowest of the lowest in our current state.
Shouldn’t joining others just to exchange information and learn more be more than enough of a reason?”
Evane wasn’t a fool, as someone who was born a princess, she knew how politics works, and because of that, she couldn’t understand Yrniel’s actions.
“I don’t know.” Vyriana however, didn’t have the answer to the Elf’s question.
“I don’t bother with these kinds of stuff, I only do what I want.”
The Dragon shrugged.
“…”
Evane just stared at the Dragon in silence, not knowing what to say.
Wanting to change the topic and save her master now sister from the embarrassment, Astaria decided to step in and glanced at Nux, “What about you? How is your power working? Do you sense any changes?”
In an instant, all the women turned towards Nux.
They all knew about the strange ‘black hole’ inside Nux’s body. They all knew how Nux had been able to ‘interact’ with it after it devoured his cultivation and they all wanted to know if there were any other changes in it.
Nux however, shook her head.
“Still nothing.
After it devoured my cultivation, my consciousness enters a completely black space whenever I think about or try to ‘access’ that ‘black hole’, I believe that ‘space’ is inside that black hole, but other than that, there is nothing else.
I cannot see anything in that space, nor can I feel anything.
It’s just a dull, timeless, black space where I tend to lose myself.”
It was difficult to explain.
Even now, Nux was having a hard time explaining what was happening to him, even in the hundreds of thousands of years he had spent inside the illusion, there wasn’t even a single case where he heard about something similar happening to someone else.
His case was simply too unique.
“Try interacting more with it.
You said it started happening after it devoured your cultivation, I believe it is happening because you formed some sort of connection with it.
The connection you have formed might not be strong enough yet, so if you strengthen it further, I believe you will be able to understand more about it and learn its uses.
I find it hard to believe that something that can make you thousands of times stronger than before when you don’t even know what it is will turn out to be useless.”
