Chapter 1658 Universe's Retaliation Ever since Nux came out of the Illusion, the Black Hole had already been there. An entirely different Universe was already inside him the moment he came out of the Illusion. There were many theories regarding how this Universe was formed, none Nux was sure about, but these theories still existed and had a high possibility of being true. Anyways, right now, these theories weren't important. The important point was that ever since he came out of the Illusion, Nux was never a part of this Universe. This was the reason why no Auras of any Law, no matter how powerful, worked on him. After all, these Auras used the Universe's powers to work, how could it affect a being who wasn't even the part of the same Universe. Universe's powers wouldn't work on someone like Nux, neither would the Universe be able to sense his presence like it senses the presence of its own people. For the Universe, an entity like Nux no longer existed. It... disappeared. Where it went, how it all happened, it didn't matter, for the Universe, the first 'thing' that was taken away from it was Nux himself. Yes, in the Universe's eyes, the entity called Nux Leander had already ceased to exist. And instead of Nux Leander, now it had to worry about a completely different entity, an entity, that was had started taking what belonged to it. After the first victim 'Nux Leander, the second victim was an entity called 'Felberta Leander, an entity it was about to devour since it broke the rules, and it was also the time when it couldn't just leave it alone and showed its anger. However, the Universe's anger didn't stop this unknown entity, it continued its actions, the next victims were entities named 'Shadow', 'Evane Leander', and 'Amaya Leander'. And as if it wasn't enough, this unknown entity started putting its hands on bigger entities, devouring even a Lowest Level World. After that, it devoured an entity named 'Vyriana Leander, and as if it had to regard to the Universe, it took another Lowest level World as well. The Universe had have enough. An unknown entity was going around doing all this without showing any form of fear. Therefore, it decided to trace the unknown entity's path. Yes, it couldn't be sense the entity's presence, however, this didn't mean it couldn't sense other entities close to this unknown entity. The Universe started putting in the effort, every time an entity disappeared, it scanned the entire region where all of this was happening and found out all the entities closest to it. It checked, and checked, and checked again, and finally, It came to conclusion. Every time one of the entities that belonged to it disappeared, an entity closest to it was this entity named 'Lane Leander Therefore, this time, rather than reacting and causing pointless havoc all over the place, it decided to wait. It would target this entity called 'Lane Leander', And this time, it won't just use its own connection to devour this entity, it would first destroy this entity and then devour it. Was the Universe sure that this entity was what causing all this? It was not. But it was a much better solution that simply letting everything that belongs to it taken away from it. And because of this thought, Nux and his wives found themselves in this current situation. As Nux woke up and saw the beautiful scenery of different asteroids surrounding him, he called out his wives, The others didn't matter since they were all 'dead', however, the moment Lane came out, the Universe reacted. Nux, who thought that his body had drifted in the Outer Space, reaching these Asteroids, couldn't be more wrong, was the Universe that had brought these Asteroids here as a weapon. It was a complete blind shot. The Universe simply brought these weapons right next to the World that just disappeared and then, it waited. It waited for the entity named Lane Leander, who had suddenly disappeared who knew where, to appear, And the moment she did. The Universe reacted. "LANE!!!!" Nux screamed in horror. His instincts warned him at the last second and someone who blindly trusted his instincts after relying on them for more than a million years, he acted that instant and grabbed Lane's hand, the next instant, his shadow expanded, forcefully taking in all the women inside his Universe. However, even Nux, whose body had once again strengthened after devouring another world and had gotten much much much faster than before, wasn't able to prevent everything and the beautiful asteroids that had surrounded him... *BOO000000000M* Exploded, engulfing Nux into the explosion in one go. And no, these Asteroids weren't just plain random rocks, these were the Universe's weapons. The Universe, that had the power to create entities like Supreme Level Worlds. How easy would it be for a weapon it created to take out a mere Divine Stage Cultivator? Heck, even if it was Azriel in Nux's stead, he wouldn't have come out of this situation scot-free. Yes, the Universe's 'Weapons' were that strong. They had the capability to reduce even Nux's already strengthened body, to dust. Caught right in the middle of this explosion, there was zero chance Nux would ever come out of this situation alive, If... If he didn't have a woman with a messed-up mind standing next to him. "Hmm?" The woman who appeared out of nowhere herself seemed quite surprised. Soon however, the realization dawned in. The Law of Last Protection. A Law that would instantly bring me next to the man I loved and save him from an attack no matter how strong once. Yes, Riona's Law was activated. "Nux..." Riona called out, soon, however, she felt all her strength leaving her body as she then passed out. Yes, her Law did protect her husband. But in truth, it wasn't strong enough. Riona was simply a Divine Stage Cultivator from what is no different than a Low Level World, yes, she was one of the exceptional cultivators there, however, in the grand schemes of things, especially at the Universal Level, She wasn't supposed to be strong enough to be able to block an attack of this caliber. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 Her Law outperformed itself and burdened her body, causing it to pass out. "Riona!!" Nux quickly held the woman in his arm. He looked around, even now, he could see how almost everything around him, even the Universal Energy, that was supposed to be omnipresent, had disappeared, evaporated from the sheer heat of the explosion. Right now, Nux stood in true Void, where nothing but him and Riona existed. And to think that this void expanded over hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. This was sheer nonsense. The strength of this explosion was out of this world. And to think he came out of this explosion without even a single injury on his body... Nux trembled, his heart raced faster than ever, too many things happened in just a single moment, from almost losing his wife, to losing his own life... All of this was too overwhelming for him because this time... He was going to lose his wife for real. If it was a normal situation, his body would have went limp, unable to take on the adrenaline flowing throughout his body, right now however, he couldn't allow his body to react how it was supposed to. Nux could sense it, his instincts were still warning him. It wasn't over yet. *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *THUNDER* *THUNDER* *THUNDER* And just as Nux expected, the Universe, which had remained calm when he devoured the World, reacted. This time, it had targeted the entity called 'Lane Leander, so if everything went just like what it had planned, Then entity called 'Lane Leander' should have disappeared, which it did, however, the Universe still didn't receive its 'Soul'. If its attack was successful, Lane Leander should have died and her soul should have come to Universe in order to reincarnate into another world. These were the Rules. And since this didn't happen, it meant that either the rules were followed, Or... The entity named Lane Leander wasn't actually dead and had somehow survived and once again disappeared from the Universe's senses. And the Universe could tell that the chances of the second possibility being true were more because, in its plan, the entity named Riona Leander wasn't supposed to appear at the last moment. Something went wrong. And whatever it was, It was related to this entity named Riona Leander. Therefore, the Universe shifted the target. Since it had already went all out in its previous attack, there weren't anymore asteroids around that it could bring, sure, it was possible to create more using its energy, however, using energy wasn't simple, not to mention that to deal with an entity like Riona Leander, simply devouring her existence was more than enough. And that is what it did. Universal Energy that appeared out of nowhere surrounded the unconscious Riona's body, getting ready to devour her, punishing her for interrupting the Universe's plan, However, This just couldn't happen, Riona Leander's husband would never let the Universe succeed. Dense Black Energy surrounded Riona's body, instantly devouring all the Universal Energy present, *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *THUNDER* *THUNDER* *THUNDER* Once again, the Universe reacted violently, Nux however, completely ignored its reaction and severed his Riona's connection from the Universe, Making her just his and his alone.
