"Shadow… what did you do to them…?" Evane questioned as she stared at 18 entities that were similar to her. All of them were made of a black shadowy substance, but unlike the rest of the incomplete entities that seemed like blurry shadowy figures with next to no facial features, their features were clear, just like Nux’s wives. They were Complete Entities, no different now than how they were before they got devoured. Yet… They seemed different. They were… oddly silent? No, it wasn’t silence. These beings had… no reaction at all. Even when they were teleported here and were surrounded like this, instead of feeling any emotion like confusion, surprise, or anger… They felt… Nothing. It was as if they were dead bodies. Honestly, if it weren’t for Nux telling them they were very much alive, the women would have believed they were dead. "W-Well… they were being annoying… And none of you bothered to deal with them when they came here, so I had to do it." Shadow replied, avoiding her sisters’ eyes. "What did you do?" Vyriana narrowed her eyes. "She took away all their senses—their sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, everything. Even their ability to perceive their Laws and connect with energy." Nux answered. Others may not be able to see it, but as the center of existence himself, he could. "Without all these senses, they can only drift in endless dark space and… think. I am sure almost every one of them must have convinced themselves that they have died and that it was the end of their life. That is also the reason you don’t see them moving. They have given up. Mentally broken, if you wish to put it in harsher words." He explained, and the women turned toward Shadow, who, once again, continued to avoid their gaze. "She… can do that?" Lyriana was in disbelief. "Well… She is the Absolute Goddess of this place." Nux shrugged, and at those words, Shadow lifted her ample breasts in pride, and Amaya could swear that the bitch was staring at her. The Devourer’s mouth twitched. Shadow, on the other hand, turned toward Nux and, "Should I return them to normal? There will be a lot of questions. I suggest you manipulate their memories with the new ability you got." Yes, it was similar to before. Nux didn’t just go around devouring random beings. Yes, he now had more ’slots,’ but his thinking hadn’t changed. If he was going to use one of his precious ’slots’ that he could have used to help people close to him, he would make sure he got something out of it. The criteria were the same—a somewhat special, unique, or useful Law or abilities. And out of the seven beings he devoured, one of them had the ability to manipulate memories. Yes, Nux could do so with the Slave Seal, but he couldn’t use the Slave Seal on everyone. "Manipulate their memories, turn them into a clean state absolutely loyal to you, and we will have somewhat useful soldiers that the Main Universe cannot sense." Shadow suggested. Nux, however, shook his head. As convenient as it sounded, there was one problem. "If I manipulate their memories, they won’t be able to form their Laws." Laws were complex concepts, hidden deep within one’s subconsciousness. Even if the memory manipulation he was doing was harmless from his side, in one way or another, it would affect the being’s comprehension and stop them from forming their Law again. The worst part? This process was irreversible. Even if Nux undoes the manipulation he does, at the subconscious level, the being would never be the same again. Shadow understood the problem and turned silent. "So what do you want to do?" She questioned. "I have an idea." Suddenly, a voice was heard. Yes, it was the Devourer. The woman glanced at Shadow with a little smirk that Shadow didn’t miss. Then, she turned toward Nux and, "How about a role play?" Hearing those words, Evane tilted her head in confusion. "…Edda?" "No, not that kind." Amaya’s mouth twitched. "Hmm? You have your own? Why didn’t I know that?" Evane looked around, glancing at the rest of her sisters to see if she was the only one out of the loop. "Well, who knows what this one does inside that Timeless Veil of hers." Shadow shrugged with a grin. "I’ll have you know, she is the most perverted out of all of us." She spoke as she stared at the Devourer. Amaya’s mouth twitched even more. She really wanted nothing more than to devour this bitch and end her existence. The innocent Evane, however, failed to read between the lines for some reason and frowned, "Why are you even discussing your fantasies right now? We all have our own, and we should keep them priv—" "I wasn’t talking about that. Now shut up." Amaya spoke, glaring at Evane. The Queen turned silent. She, however, didn’t forget to stare at Nux and smirk ever so lightly. Nux laughed inwardly, clearly knowing what the ’oh so innocent’ Evane was doing. The Devourer, however, ignored everything around her and explained her plans. … Darkness. An absolute void, where time had no meaning. And in this void, an entity floated endlessly. He didn’t know how long he had existed in this nothingness. Seconds? Hours? Or… eternity? He didn’t know, nor did it matter. After all… He was dead. That Sovereign. The Entity of Destruction that came to his world and destroyed everything. He still remembered how his entire world quaked, how his World’s Will presented itself to that being, as if begging to be spared. To a mere Sovereign. No… That was no Sovereign… That was… an existence he still couldn’t comprehend. Explore new worlds at freewebnovel As a Primordial, just his Aura alone should have brought that entity to his knees, but let alone bringing him to his knees, it seemed like his Aura didn’t even affect it. It was then… That entity released its own Aura, and in an instant, their world crumbled. Everything he knew or understood was flipped over. He never thought destruction of that scale from one’s Aura alone was even possible. The moment that entity released his Aura, every single being in his world either crumbled into the ground, dead… Even he, the strongest being of his world, could barely move as the endless weight crushed upon him. It was as if the sky itself had collapsed. There was no resistance. It was the end. An end he couldn’t forget, even when he had died. Even when he had been drifting in this dark, endless space, feeling… 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 Nothingness. But then suddenly, After a long, long time… A sharp awareness jolted him awake from the numbness of death.
