A God.
“Nux come here.
You need to see this.”
Shadow Lane called, her tone didn’t fail to express the urgency of the situation.
“Hmm? What happened?”
Nux frowned in confusion, however, before he could understand the situation, suddenly, his Shadow became darker and darker before materializing into reality, coming out like tentacles that started pulling Nux in.
Clearly, Shadow Lane wasn’t planning to explain herself, she just wanted Nux to come inside his shadow as soon as it was possible, something that Nux understood, therefore, he quickly used the Power of Shadow Demons, trying to get inside his shadow, but suddenly, he froze as he realized something,
His body…
It was being pulled inside his shadow on its own, yes, even if he wasn’t using the power of the Shadow Demon, he was still able to enter his own shadow.
Something that shouldn’t be and wasn’t possible before.
Nux quickly stopped using the powers of the Shadow Demon to check if his theory was correct and just as he expected, the tentacles were still able to pull him down.
“Nux?”
Amaya called out with a worried look on her face, Nux turned towards her and nodded reassuringly.
His shadow was obviously a safe place for him, even now, he could regain control anytime he wanted the moment he activated his power.
Right now, he was simply going with the flow.
Of course, unlike other wives, Lane didn’t wait.
She instantly entered Nux’s shadow using her powers, following behind him.
Nux and Lane fell into Nux’s shadow, there, their eyes fell on a shadowy materialization, it was the Shadow Lane, and before Nux could ask her what was wrong,
Shadow Lane expanded her hands and,
“Look!
Look around!
Everything is completely different than before!”
Previously, Nux’s shadow realm was just like any other being’s shadow realm, dark, completely black with nothing else visible to the eyes.
It was usually quite a depressing place and the only reason Lane liked staying in this place was because she felt closer to Nux when she was here.
Right now, however, it was different.
That pitch black place was no more, rather, Nux and Lane could themselves standing on a grey ground with black coloured grass on it.
Right now, both Nux and Lane were in their ‘Shadow Form’, meaning that just like Shadow Lane, their bodies looked like physical manifestations of shadows.
Yes, right now, there was no difference between Lane and Shadow Lane’s appearance.
However, this wasn’t Nux or Lane’s focus.
They continued to look around with curious looks on their faces, it was their first time seeing a place like this.
Grey ground, black grass, plants, flowers, and trees, there were even black mountains that could be seen from a distance, the sky was grey with black clouds visible all over the place.
It was a completely different place.
A place that only had one colour, black.
The only way to differentiate between things here was the intensity of ‘Black’ it had inside them. As they continued to look around, Nux and Lane’s expressions suddenly changed, the moment Shadow Lane noticed it, she chimed in,
“Do you finally notice it now?”
Nux and Lane turned towards her and Shadow Lane continued,
“Yes, this is the same World Nux devoured.
If we ignore that the entire World had turned black, the terrain is exactly the same as that world, even the state of vegetation is exactly the same. It is as if it was a perfect replica of that world.”
Shadow Lane revealed.
Since she was inside Nux’s shadow together with Lane, she hadn’t explored the world they were in much, however, with how much ever she knew, she was positive that this place was an exact replica of that world.
“You are wrong.”
Suddenly, Nux spoke up.
Then, he glanced at Shadow Lane and with a strange look on his face, he declared,
“This is not a replica of that world,
This is that world.
This is the fallen Equatoria.”
Nux declared as he looked around, then, as if he was absolutely certain that he was correct, he revealed.
“We are not inside my Shadow Realm right now,
We are inside my Universe.”
“What…?”
Lane widened her eyes in surprise and Nux nodded.
“Yes, this is my Universe.”
He spoke and the instant he closed his eyes, it all became clear to him as everything zoomed out and suddenly, his consciousness connected with… himself and he was able to see it.
The Black Space.
And the changes inside the Black Space.
The Space that previously had a Black Sapling and a Black Lotus under it, combined with white and black Mist and dust that intervened together, now had one more change.
The Sapling had grown, and now, as its stem was extended further, it rolled around a sphere, it
was a World.
The World he had just devoured,
The World their Physical bodies were currently in.
As Nux realized it, his consciousness returned to his physical body and once again, he was inside
the World together with Lane and Shadow Lane.
“Yes, this is indeed my Universe.”
He declared once again, this time, he tone showed absolute certainty.
After all, he could feel it, he could feel the endless strength running through his body.
One had to know, Nux was currently inside a place he owned, he was brimming with strength.
Not only that, he was a being who had devoured an entire World!
What did that mean?
He took all the energy the World had and absorbed it inside him.
Yes, he had the energy of an entire World inside him.
And what did this energy do?
It made him physically stronger.
Yes, the current Nux was as strong as a Lowest Level World!
It was an absurd statement, no being, not even a Primordial, was capable of comparing their might
with an entire World.
Despite being the Lowest Level, a World was still the Universe’s largest and strongest creation, the amount of energy stored inside a World was ridiculous.
And right now, all that energy only did one thing, it made Nux’s body stronger.
Right now, his body was so strong that with just his physical strength alone, he could annihilate
the likes of Aeliana into oblivion.
Yes, the current Nux was that strong.
He was a God.
However, there was one problem.
A problem that Nux realized and somewhat understood as well.
He was only this strong inside his own Universe.
It was because he could only use his full power when he is inside his own Universe, the moment he returns to the original Universe, he would face resistance.
As a being from another Universe, he would feel resistance from the main Universe, resistance so strong that he would barely be able to use any of his power. Probably only 0.0000001% of it.
Of course, this resistance was only applicable to his physical strength that he gained from the world he devoured.
As for his Cultivation, since his Cultivation was still somewhat connected to the main Universe, he doesn’t face sort of resistance and can use his powers however he wanted.
So, what changed in ‘reality’ that actually mattered?
It was Nux’s physical strength.
Yes, even when he could barely use it in the main Universe, it was still the Power of an entire
World, his physical strength was now much stronger than any cultivator at his stage.
Nux was pretty sure that he could now take any Divine Stage Cultivator, no matter from what
world, with just his Physical Strength alone.
Indeed, the leap in his strength was just that big.
As Nux was thinking about all this, suddenly, he looked up as he sensed his wives’ emotions, ever since he was pulled into his own shadow by Shadow Lane, those women were waiting for his
return.
Shadow Lane, who sensed what Nux was feeling, moved and once again, shadow tentacles materialized, grabbing the wives and pulling them inside the Shadow World as well.
Soon, however, Shadow Lane noticed something.
The only ones she was able to pull inside the Shadow World were Felberta, Evane, and Amaya, the
rest of the women couldn’t get in.
“What is happening…?”
Shadow Lane frowned.
And once again, Nux came up with an answer.
“Others cannot enter because they aren’t connected to my Universe yet!”
“Your Universe…?” Amaya frowned as she glanced at Nux.
“Isn’t this place supposed to be your Shadow Realm? How is this related to your Universe?”
She questioned.
Nux glanced at her and then waved his hand, the next instant, all of them came out of the Shadow
World and returned to the Universe.
Instantly, Nux noticed how all the strength had left his body, it was the feeling of powerlessness
even he had a hard time adapting to.
After all, the power he was wielding inside his Universe was simply too much.
It was an addictive feeling.
“Nux… what is happening?”
Amaya questioned, unable to hold back her curiosity.
And once again, Nux revealed everything he found out.
How his Shadow Realm had now turned into a pathway between his Universe and the main one.
How he had now become a God and was strong enough to even defeat Aeliana with just a flick of
his finger.
And of course, how he could only use the majority of his power inside his own universe, which didn’t help them one bit.
