Nux, you need to see this.
‘Hmmm?’
Nux’s consciousness returned.
After he didn’t know how long, he was finally able to feel his body again and in an instant,
‘NUX!’
‘NUX!’
He heard two similar voices in his head.
‘Lane?’
He called out.
‘You are awake!’
Shadow Lane spoke excitedly.
‘How long was I out for?’
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
’15 years.’
Lane answered.
“That took longer than I expected!’
Nux muttered.
Obviously, he wasn’t expecting the big information that was dumped into his brain, so considering he spent hundreds of thousands of years just to see the World’s History, 15 years actually sounded like a small number.
However, for Nux, who wanted to stay with his wives, especially right now when there are Rune, Eisheth, and Lyriana who need his help as soon as possible,
15 years was indeed a much longer time than expected.
Of course, Nux also knew there was no point in thinking all this now that it had already happened, the only thing he could do now was to prepare more thoroughly next time.
Instantly, his mind disregarded it and he slowly opened his eyes.
“Where am I? In Outer Space?”
He questioned.
He was still getting used to being able to feel his body again, spending hundreds of thousands of years like a bodyless entity didn’t come without its own share of troubles.
Not that it was a challenge for Nux.
Illusion had trained him to the point he could get used to a completely new body almost instantly
now.
“Remove it.”
Suddenly, Lane spoke, this time, her tone didn’t seem similar to her usual one, this time, it was full of anger.
“Hmm?” Nux frowned.
“The Seal, remove it and let me out.”
Lane spoke, her anger rising as more words left her mouth.
The next instant, Nux felt a chill down his spine.
He had completely forgotten about this. The fact that he had locked Lane inside his shadow for 15 years… especially when he screamed in agony when all this information was injected into his brain…
It didn’t take a genius to understand what Lane felt this entire time and how she felt about this.
Instantly, Nux removed the Seal and Lane came out, staring at Nux with her eyes flaring with endless anger. At the same time, Nux could also the corner of her eyes welled with tears. The woman’s entire body was trembling, her fists were clenched, clearly, her emotions weren’t stable.
“I am sorry.”
Nux spoke as he pulled the woman into his arms.
The next instant, Lane’s body lost all its strength and tears rolled out of her eyes, falling on Nux’s shoulders, tearing his heart apart.
Nux tightened his hug around Lane.
He couldn’t say anything either.
He was apologetic, yes, but this didn’t mean he regretted his actions. He did what he had to ensure Lane’s safety. With the amount of Universal Energy surrounding him, letting Lane out was no different than killing her and Nux couldn’t allow that, even if the woman had the power to revive herself.
After all, Absolute Laws could still kill Lane, so Nux wasn’t sure if the Universal Energy would work or not.
And no, he wasn’t going to take chances.
He simply tightened his hug even further, but then,
*Crack*
A cracking sound was heard.
Lane suddenly tightened her hug around Nux out of reflex, not uttering even a single groan, Nux however, realized it.
Lane’s spine broke.
He loosened his hug with a confused frown on his face.
This shouldn’t happen, he was already used to his old body, after hurting Felberta once, he made sure he wouldn’t repeat the same mistake again, so he was constantly controlling his power to the point it had become a muscle memory.
The same muscle memories should be activated right now…
Lane shouldn’t get hurt by his hug, especially when he wasn’t using any power at all.
However, before Nux could make sense of this situation,
“You are out.”
He heard a voice.
Turning around, he saw Aeliana walking towards him with a smile on her face.
“Lady Aeliana.”
He greeted with a smile.
“You made me wait for a long time, you know?”
“I apologize, I didn’t expect this would take this long either.”
Nux admitted.
“Well, you were venturing into something completely unknown, a few years isn’t a problem for
someone my age.”
“What ‘someone your age’, it makes you sound like an old person, you shouldn’t talk like that, especially when you look like a woman in her prime years.”
Nux chuckled.
Aeliana stared at him and chuckled as well.
Then, Nux’s expression changed and,
“I want to meet my wives.”
“Follow me.”
Aeliana didn’t waste time either.
She already expected something like this anyway.
The three then walked into the Cosmocraft, Lane, of course, was already healed by Nux. Nux on the other hand, clenched his fist, sensing an almost endless amount of power inside him. Power so strong that he almost felt like a God.
He wanted to explore this further, right now, however, he wanted to meet his wives first. The very fact that they were not here when he opened his eyes meant Aeliana used her powers. Nux wanted to go and calm his wives before anything else.
And the Cosmocraft didn’t disappoint, with its speed, within 5 minutes, Nux and the others were already in front of the World they conquered.
As they descended, the World trembled.
Nux glanced at his wives and seeing the sight in front of him, he blinked a few times before he
glanced at Aeliana,
“Is he…?”
“He is…”
Aeliana nodded, she had the same shocked look on her face as Nux.
Voraleth, 4 meter tall, sleek, agile beings with a predatory appearance. They are covered in sleek black fur with retractable spines along their back. Their faces are wolf-like, with piercing golden eyes, and their limbs are long and muscular, built for hunting. They possess retractable claws that can cut through almost any form of defence.
Voraleth had a fearsome image, even when compared to Tarratrum, who were considered to be the strongest because of Varain’s presence, they didn’t fade out.
That was simply how strong the beings of this race were.
And the being Nux, Aeliana, and Lane were looking at was none other than a Voraleth and he was
not just any Voraleth, he was the strongest there was.
Not only the strongest of all Voraleth, he was the strongest being to have ever appeared in the
history of the Association.
The being who transcended all limits,
A being, who reached the Stage above the Ultimate Stage.
Yes, he was a Primordial.
Yes, he was Selvith, the one who was behind this all, the one who controlled this all.
The true leader of the Association.
A fearsome entity who even the so-called strongest being in the Association feared,
That was Selvith, the Voraleth.
However…
This strongest being… was currently in a state so pitiful… that even Nux felt bad for him.
His sleek black fur seems to have been pulled out again and again, it was done to the point where the entire region had turned red.
Without his fur, rather than looking like a ferocious being who could hunt even the greatest warrior, he looked like a pitiful puppy who was bullied by a group of children.
Of course, his previously ferocious eyes that were now looking at Nux and others with hope
weren’t helping either.
‘Please help me!’
His eyes were screaming these words.
But Nux knew the poor being couldn’t speak himself because all his teeth were broken and his tongue was currently tied to his nose.
The poor being was pinned to the ground, unable to move even an inch and the women…
The women seemed to using him as an… amusement park ride…? Sitting on his back and pulling
his ears like children playing around with some toy.
“Nux! You are back!”
The moment Skyla noticed him, she quickly tried to rush towards him, however, Aeliana’s power
activated again and she fell down.
Nux landed on the ground and then walked towards his women, his eyes still didn’t leave the
pitiful Selvith.
Clearly, the dude wasn’t having the best time of his life.
“How have you been?”
Nux tried to ignore the beings whimpering and turned towards Skyla.
“I am fine, how about you?
You have been gone for 15 hours now!”
Skyla complained.
“15 hours?”
Lane frowned in confusion.
Nux on the other hand, turned towards Aeliana.
“You know?”
Aeliana questioned with a somewhat surprised look on her face.
“The fact that your Law allows you to control time as well?
Of course, I do.
I know everything about you, Aeliana.”
Nux spoke as his eyes turned darker and darker as he stared at Aeliana.
“What does that mean?”
Amaya however, was quick to catch onto the details and asked a question.
Then, she turned towards Lane and,
“How much time actually passed?
What happened?
Why does it look like you were crying before?
Why does Nux’s expression look different from normal?
Where is your Shadow?
What happened after you devoured the World?
Why did the Universe react differently than before?” Amaya asked a series of questions.
However, before Nux could satiate her curiosity.
“Nux…”
They heard Lane’s voice.
No, it was not Lane, but Shadow Lane.
“Nux come here.
You need to see this.”
Shadow Lane called, her tone didn’t fail to express the urgency of the situation.
