Chapter 1636 Why can I touch you? "The Black Hole is representable of Husband's Greed and Desire, so if it only severed my connection with the Universe and not yours, It means deep inside his mind, Husband loves me more than he loves you. I won, Lane~ I told you I would win, didn't I?" Shadow Lane danced around Lane as she said those words, trying to make her jealous. Lane's eyebrow twitched with every passing second. The only reason she wasn't attacking this… thing standing in front of her was because she knew she could not be touched unless one had an Absolute Law. What's worse? This time, Lane couldn't even forcefully put her back into her shadow. "Hahahaha~ I win~~" The Shadow Lane, on the other hand, completely ignored Lane's worries and continued to dance around. "I knew husband loved me more from the beginning, I knew I would eventually enter his heart if I kept being a good girl, I knew everything would have worked out just like this~" In the end, Lane stared at Nux with a tired look on her face. If she didn't have the 'connection' with Lane anymore and it was Nux who had it, it meant that Nux would also have a way to put her back into the shadow again. Nux glanced at Lane and nodded, he was still new to all this, but he felt like if he trusted his instincts, he could do what Lane wanted him to do. Lane nodded back. As for all the talk about Nux loving Shadow Lane more than her, it never bothered her from the beginning because she knew it wasn't true. How many years had it been since she had been with Nux? How much time had she spent together with him? Honestly, Lane knew more about Nux than probably everyone present here. She wouldn't doubt him just because something didn't go the way she expected it to. Actually, even Shadow Lane knew this wasn't true, after all, in the end, she was Lane's Alter Ego, a side Lane hides from the rest of the world, she could never replace the real Lane. So she knew that the reason why her connection with the Universe was severed and Lane's wasn't because Nux loved her more, It was something entirely different. Of course, while she knew that, she also knew it was her chance to tease Lane, so she was doing her best to get under her skin. "Oh my, oh my, oh my~ My dear self, are you jealous of your own shadow? How truly unladylike." The woman commented, once again, Lane's mouth twitched, unable to control herself, she extended her hand, trying to hold Shadow Lane by her neck. The Shadow Lane let it happen, the hand was going to pass her anyway, so it didn't matter. But then, "Acckkkk!!" Both Lane and the Shadow Lane widened their eyes in disbelief when Lane held the Shadow woman's neck. "W-What…?" Lane frowned. "Why can I touch you?" "I-I don't know…" Shadow Lane shook her head, in an instant, her expression changed, she quickly got out of Lane's hold and rushed towards Nux. The hopeful shadow jumped at her husband, fully prepared to pass him again just like it normally happens, but, *Thud* Nux held the shadow with a surprised look on his face. "N-Nux, y-you can touch me…?" Shadow Lane couldn't believe it. For the first time in her 'life', she could feel how Nux's hands were pressing her waist, she could feel his hard chest touching her breasts, she could feel his body close to him, she could… feel him. And the shadow knew it wasn't because Nux had comprehended an Absolute Law. When the Law of Absolute Growth was revealed, she did try to hug him before, however, nothing changed and her body simply passed through him. The same went for Astaria as well, her sword could only 'touch' Shadow Lane when she used the Aura of her Absolute Law on her sword. Even Vyriana could only do it when she was using her 'absolute strength'. Nux and the women theorized that Shadow Lane can only be touched under specific conditions, but right now… Those conditions didn't exist anymore. She could now touch or be touched by Nux whenever she wanted! The moment she realized it, Shadow Lane's eyes brightened up and, "HUSBAND!!!!" She tightened her hug around her husband. On the other hand, Nux was still clueless. Everything happened a little too fast for his mind to register it, therefore, he decided to stop thinking about everything and took a short break to recollect his thoughts. He wanted the Black Hole to sever Lane's connection with the Universe, but for some reason, it severed Shadow Lane's connection and now, he had access to the Law of Shadow Born but he couldn't feel any new connection with Lane like he did with Felberta. Many questions troubled him. Why did this happen? Why Shadow Lane but not Lane? Was it because the Shadow Lane was correct? Of course not. It wasn't a possibility they needed to consider, Nux never doubted his love for his wives for even a second. "Let's try it again." Not wanting to give up, Nux momentarily put Shadow Lane aside and walked towards Lane, Shadow Lane didn't mind, she knew what Nux was thinking because, in the end, she was Lane as well. She wanted to be connected with Nux as well. Lane nodded and closed her eyes as Nux placed his hands on her shoulder, once again, dense black energy surrounded their bodies, but this time… The Black Hole didn't react. It was as if it didn't want Lane. Nux's frown deepened. He tried again, then again, and again and again, but no matter what he did, the Black Hole didn't react. The rest of the women frowned in confusion as well. "Nux." Suddenly, Riona called out. Nux glanced at her and she continued, "I think there is some condition for the Black Hole to be activated, we need to understand what that is instead of just trying like this." "How do we do that?" "By experimenting of course." Riona smiled as she pointed at all the women present here. "Continue what you were doing, I am sure you will learn more about it as you use it more. Try to sever our connections with the Universe and see if it works. We will see how many times it will work, how many times it won't, I am sure we will find a pattern and come up with an explanation eventually." Riona spoke and Nux glanced at Lane, who nodded at him assuringly. She knew Nux wanted it as much as she did it not more, so she knew, that he wasn't going to give up till he truly made her his. And she will patiently wait for this moment. "NUXXXX!!!" And Shadow Lane, who had been holding herself back for almost 30 seconds now, couldn't hold it anymore and hugged Nux again.
