The Fate That Awaited The Weak.
“…”
I Silence fell all over the place.
A Primordial had died without as much as showing any form of resistance. It was shocking, especially for Aeliana.
Yes, Nux did say he was strong enough to take Selvith on, Aeliana, however, never believed it. She just thought Nux
underestimated how strong a Primordial actually is.
After all, Nux had never actually faced a Primordial before, even in the Illusion, Aeliana assumed that he wouldn’t know any better since he didn’t have enough time to actually become strong enough to face a Primordial.
Nux didn’t have the Black Hole or this Universe inside of him when he was in the Illusion, so him facing Primordials as Divine Stage Cultivator was out of the question, heck, he didn’t even have a Law every time he became a Divine, so he would be even weaker than a regular Divine Stage Cultivator.
Not to mention Nux couldn’t leave Yrniel inside the Illusion, meaning the Primordial he would face were the Primordials of
Yrniel, who were far stronger than the opponent Nux faced.
No matter what possibility Aeliana thought about, Nux had never had the opportunity to tackle an opponent of this level before, so for him to make a mistake in judgment and underestimate his opponent, it was completely normal.
This was the reason Aeliana made them fight inside her Barrier in the first place, using her Law, she had made it so that Nux could never be killed as long as he was inside.
She was controlling Nux’s ‘Death’.
Yes, her Law was absolutely broken, but that wasn’t the point here, the point was, Nux won.
And… he won ridiculously easily at that.
“Knock Knock”
“!!!”
Suddenly, Aeliana blinked in surprise as
Nux knocked on her forehead.
“W-When did you get here?”
She questioned.
This time, however, Nux and the others
looked at her with strange looks on their
faces,
“I walked here…”
Nux answered.
“Huh…?”
Aeliana frowned in confusion.
“Is me winning that surprising?”
Nux questioned with a playful look on his
face.
“You do not understand what you just did,
do you?”
Aeliana couldn’t help but question.
“Defeated a Cultivator who was a Phase
above me?
Regular old Monday.”
Nux shrugged.
“It is not the first time I did this,
remember? I could take on Divines when I was a Saint.”
”

…
Aeliana was silent.
It was just as she thought.
Nux had no clue what a Primordial actually
is. This was the reason why he didn’t feel it was strange.
No actually, considering that this is a man
who had an entire Universe inside him, maybe it is actually not that strange.
“Uggh…”
Aeliana groaned in pain as she felt like her head would burst apart.
She couldn’t believe that she was thinking
that a Divine defeating a Primordial is not strange.
‘I don’t know what is going to happen to
me.’
Aeliana thought inwardly. “Anyways, since the situation here is dealt
with, it’s time we get back to work, no?”
Nux spoke, gaining everyone’s attention.
The women nodded and after Nux sent all
of them off with hugs and kisses, the women left for their respective worlds, getting ready to annihilate everything in one go.
With Nux and the women protecting him
only one left in the world, Nux turned around and glanced at the trembling netizens of the world, they all knew what
fate awaited them. They had seen how the other worlds had fallen after the three of the five main factions went missing. They had seen the fate of the beings who
lived in those worlds.
None of those survived, all of them
perished together with their world.
Honestly, right now, these people wanted nothing more than to be somehow able to resist Nux. Most of them didn’t even care if they were going to die or not, they simply wanted to protect their families.
They weren’t strong Powerhouses who could manipulate energy and get stronger, even if some of them were, they were
weak, far below the levels of the beings who were mercilessly killed right before them.
They were helpless.
For them, Nux was like a demon who had
come here to not only kill them, but kill their wives, their old parents, and their young children.
Seeing their trembling bodies, Evane’s expression changed.
Unlike Nux, who didn’t care about anyone
other than people around her, her heart
was heavy knowing that what they were going to do would kill millions.
Even if she could prepare her heart and kill
people who stood in the way of her and her husband, against people who were completely helpless and couldn’t show any
form of resistance, Evane’s resolve was weakened.
“Can we do something about them…?”
She questioned.
Nux, who knew exactly what she felt
glanced at the beings trembling in front of them, hugging the people they loved as they prepared for their death, and then, he
shook his head.
“We cannot.
The instant I devour their world, their
Cultivator bridge would shatter, unless you
are a Divine Stage Cultivator or above, your
body would never be able to withstand that
toll.
The only way they can survive is by connecting them to another world but…
There are millions of them, and that is just
this world, there will be more in other worlds we are going to visit,
It is simply impossible to give refugee to
such a large number of people at the same time.
Even if we use [Core], to help them travel and bring them to Yrniel, it is pretty much impossible to connect them all with Yrniel.
A World needs energy to sustain people, it is like a chore, so most worlds only form connections with capable people, a World most likely won’t waste its energy on weaklings like these.
Not to mention Yrniel’s energy is already as
messy as it could be, it is in no position to support millions if not billions of otherworldly beings, not when it is already supporting another race that does not
belong to it.”
“The Foxkins…”
Evane muttered and Nux nodded.
“Exactly, Honestly, as I mentioned before, a world
does not support useless people, so the fact that Yrniel is supporting the entire Foxkin race is already beyond me. If I had to guess, then it has something to
do with Lord Azriel, other than him, no one should have enough power over Yrniel to convince it to actually form a connection with an entire race.
Not even the Progenitors.” “You… seem to know quite a lot about
this…”
Felberta commented as she turned towards
Nux.
All this didn’t seem to be common knowledge, Nux shouldn’t know this stuff.
Unless…
“Well, I did learn a few things after I devoured my first World.”
Nux smiled wryly. There was still a lot of unsorted information in his mind that he needed time to sort out, but he decided not to think about it for now.
All this information came to him instinctively now.
“So what you are saying is we cannot help them?”
Evane questioned.
“We cannot.”
Nux shook his head again. “Yrniel is in no state to help, and no other
world would take them. I can spare one or two worlds and connect
all these people with those worlds if you
want,
But…”
“They will not survive.”
Felberta completed Nux’s words.
Nux turned towards the Eldraeth and nodded.
The Universe was a cruel place, the weak would never survive here.
If it wasn’t Nux and his wives, someone
else would have attacked them eventually.
Sure, this sector of the Universe wasn’t
really visited by the main forces, but the main forces weren’t exactly what these
people feared.
It would be the other Lowest Level Worlds that are still here.
Sure, most were incorporated into the
Association, but a select few still remained. Maybe not now, but eventually, they would still find these people and kill them.
With their strength, they would never survive.
Honestly, they do not even have to be
attacked, even if they are left alone, these people would perish, without the strong protecting them, the weak would copulate with the weak, producing even weaker children, their bloodline would continue to erode, and the worlds, that already had less
energy to begin with and are now forced
to form connection with more people than
they could, wouldn’t be able to help them
in any
way.
It is a situation where chances of survival
are pretty much nonexistent. “We would be forced to babysit them until
their worlds recover energy naturally while
protecting them from outside threats,
This is the only way they would survive.”
Nux answered.
“And how long would that take? The worlds recovering their energy I
mean.”
Felberta questioned and Nux shook his head again,
“Anywhere between a hundred thousand years to a million, I cannot say for sure.”
“So if we wish to keep them alive, we need
to babysit them for more than a hundred
thousand
years?”
“Yes. Them, then their children, then their children, we need to babysit them all.” “That is impossible.”
Felberta knew it.
It wasn’t just her, Evane knew it as well.
Hundred thousand years was simply too
long of a time,
Even if they wanted to help them, they
simply
cannot,
Only one fate awaited these beings,
The fate that awaited the weak..
