1512 That would be problematic.
“Why are you here?”
Vyriana questioned with a frown on her face as she glanced at Lane, who had entered inside the [Core] as well.
It had only been a few minutes since they came here, right now, Lane and Nux should be investigating the enemy forces and learning more about them. Lane being here didn’t make any sense.
Lane glanced at the Dragon and the rest of the women, then, “Nux sent me back.”
She replied.
“And you agreed…?”
Felberta blinked in surprise.
How could she not know what her sister was like?
The woman literally comprehended an absurd Law where she kills herself just to be with the man she loved. Nux’s choice in this regard didn’t matter anymore. Lane almost never left him alone and her obsession only strengthened after he returned from the illusion.
Seeing his unstable mental state that he thinks he could hide from them, Lane decided not to leave him alone unless it was absolutely necessary and this time, it was a decision the rest of the women supported.
So the fact that Lane was here… Felberta found it strange.
“The Black Hole inside Nux’s body is reacting to the Universal Energy,” Lane revealed.
“What?” Vyriana widened her eyes in surprise.
“He says it is eating away the Universal Energy. Since the Black Hole doesn’t react to many things, he decided to where it leads to and decided to stay back.
And since staying in the Outer space for too long could be dangerous, he sent me back. I tried to resist, but he didn’t listen…” Lane pouted, it was clear that the woman didn’t wish to be here.
“…”
The women turned silent.
The Universal Energy was no different than poison, it could even be called the strongest poison in the entire world. Even Azriel, the Strongest Progenitor of Yrniel, couldn’t resist its effects.
Sure, with his abnormal amount of Mana, he could stay in the Universe for hundreds of thousands of years, it is almost like the presence of the Universal Energy doesn’t make any difference for him, but in the end, The fact that the Universal Energy still devours his Mana and is dangerous for him doesn’t change.
And now…
This person is eating this so-called poison?
How does that make sense?
The women, especially Vyriana, who knew more about the Outer Space couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“So he sent you away?
What about the world we were supposed to attack?”
Ember frowned.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Vyriana however, shook her head.
“We can find any other world. This is more important. If he can use this chance to learn more about the Black Hole inside his body, it could lead to something even bigger.
That thing is devouring the Universal Energy, this is no small matter. We can abandon a world or two for its sake.”
Vyriana didn’t care.
For her, Nux was more important than a mere world.
“You do not understand.”
Felberta, however, had a different opinion and shook her head.
“This is Nux we are talking about.”
Vyriana stared at Felberta and the first wife continued,
“Sure, the Black Hole reacting to something was a big deal, if it was something else, he would have probably ignored the mission and focused on this instead, however, since it is something you want, prioritizing your wishes is something he won’t even have to think about.
It is his heart’s natural choice.
He would always keep his wives’ needs above his own.
He would never abandon this mission so easily.”
Felberta was confident.
The rest of the women just nodded, they knew it was the truth, he wouldn’t change even if they did their best to convince him, they had long given up.
“We should wait.”
Lane answered Ember’s question.
“We haven’t investigated anything yet, we should wait for Nux to return.”
The women nodded and just as their discussion ended,
A Portal opened in front of them.
“Come in.”
Nux’s voice was heard.
Without thinking, the women all walked into the portal and appeared inside the Cosmocraft that Nux had summoned again.
“Do you sense any changes after absorbing the Universal Energy?”
Vyriana questioned.
The world could wait, she was more curious about Nux’s strength. This time, however, she was disappointed.
“No.”
Nux shook his head.
“I still feel the same as before, just that the black hole is constantly absorbing the Universal Energy. I don’t feel stronger in any way.”
“Maybe the amount of Universal energy you absorbed is too little to actually make a difference?”
Amaya theorized.
It was a theory that could be considered.
After all, the current Nux was a being who was saturated to the point it was ridiculous. After devouring his cultivation again and again and pretty much doubling his strength every single time, he was now as strong as thousands of Nux bound together.
It was so ridiculous that repeating the process didn’t even make a difference now.
Not many things could make a notable difference to Nux’s current strength.
Nux nodded,
“That is possible.”
“Continue absorbing more energy then.
Do it till you feel any different.”
Vyriana spoke.
There was bound to be a reaction if they kept on going, right now however, “Focus on the mission.”
Nux spoke with a solemn look on his face.
“Things aren’t as simple as they look.”
“What do you mean?” Vyriana frowned in confusion.
“The good news is that the enemy doesn’t appear to be from a higher level world.
It is most probably some local factions that have acted. We do not have to worry about them coming after us later but, Their forces are strong.”
“How strong?”
Ember questioned with a curious look on her face.
“They can be divided into two main forces, the beings of that world are already defeated, now these two other forces are competing with each other and the victor will get to Devour the Will of the World.
The strength of the two forces is pretty much similar, there are around 3000 beings with strength comparable to that of Complete Divines on both sides, then there are a few ten thousand Saints on each side as well.
The Generals or the Leaders of these forces seems to be around Peak Divine Stage.
Their individual strength isn’t much, but taking them together wouldn’t be easy, Saints won’t pose a problem but a total of 6000 Divines… “That would be problematic.”
Riona commented with a grave look on her face.
