Chapter 1983 I am sure you have a better way, don’t you? "The Universe returned to its child again. Azriel's connection with the Universe is back to normal, his cultivation speed has increased, and everything is going just as we expected." Faustina reported with a smirk. "That didn't take long." Aeliana chuckled. "The Second Anomaly did escape because the Universe's Child wasn't strong enough. If the Universe wasn't trying to keep him under check for the past year, this might not have happened." Faustina laughed, and the rest of the women laughed as well. But Nux didn't. "At least someone's getting what they were expecting." He sighed, instantly attracting the women's attention. "Still nothing?" Amaya frowned. Nux shook his head. "All basic information, these worlds knew about Chronoxis and the fact that Orynthar attacked Chronoxis, but none of them bothered to learn why they did it. They just… felt it was normal for a High-Level World to prey on a Middle-Level World, which isn't exactly wrong. Chronoxis wasn't the first Middle-Level world Orynthar attacked and destroyed." He answered. "So we have nothing…?" Felberta questioned, and Nux's face turned grim. "There is one lead…" "A lead…?" "All the Middle-Level Worlds I devoured told me about one world, Orynthar's closest ally, the world that took Orynthar's position after Lord Azriel destroyed it, Tenebris. If Chronoxis or the Temple of Time was of any importance to Orynthar, Tenebris should know it." "If we have the target, then what are we waiting for?" Astaria questioned as she clenched her sword, prepared to jump into battle for her husband's sake. Aeliana, however, had a solemn look on her face. "If it took Orynthar's position then…" "It is a High-Level World." Nux completed the Vampire's sentence, and in an instant, the women's faces turned grim. "And Eternals…" Astaria glanced at Nux, and he shook his head. "We cannot defeat them, even with the Army of Transcendents we have." Eternals were different, they were a threat to Nux and his wives, he couldn't risk it. This was the entire reason he wasn't going after his father yet. "What if… we do not have to face an Eternal?" Suddenly, Amaya questioned. "We need to devour Tenebris, you think its leader would sit back and let us do it without making a move?" Thyra questioned back. Nux, on the other hand, stared at his wife, letting her continue. "What we need is information, correct? Devouring Tenebris isn't the only way to get what we want, is it? It is just a convenience we use because of how efficient it is, normal people do not have such convenience, yet they are still able to get the information they want. There are still ways to get information without having to destroy a world." The women narrowed their eyes at the Devourer's words. "What are you planning?" Aeliana questioned. "Eternals are called Eternals because they can live for Eternity, can they not?" Nux nodded at her question. "Then the Eternals leading Tenebris should be alive when Orynthar attacked Chronoxis, they should know why Orynthar did it." "They should." Nux nodded. According to the memories of the worlds he devoured, the Leaders of Tenebris haven't changed for hundreds of thousands of years now. They were present when Orynthar existed, and they are still alive and well. "Then why don't we just ask them? If it is something important, I am sure they know about it." "And what's the grand plan? Ask them nicely?" Vyriana questioned. "We will threaten them." "Threaten… the Eternals?" The women raised their eyebrows, Nux on the other hand, could guess what Amaya was thinking about. "It doesn't have to be the Eternals, everyone has something they want, if we give them what they want…" "If we were capable of giving an Eternal something he couldn't take on his own, we wouldn't have to worry about things we usually do." "There are things people cannot get even if they have all the power in the world." Amaya answered, and Nux grinned at those words. A similar grin appeared on Amaya's face as she turned back towards Nux and, "How many Eternals are there in Tenebris?" "It is one of the stronger High-Level Worlds, so four." Nux answered. "All we need to do is to find out everything we can about these four. Kidnap their subordinates, their closest allies, their enemies, their kin, kidnap everyone, read all their memories, learn every single thing there is to learn about them. Find their weakness, something that usually holds them back. Someone they hate, someone they love, something they want, anything of value, anything they cannot get but we can, anything that can be used to trade for the information we want, find it. I refuse to believe that out of the four of them, not even one would need our help." "Help?" Aeliana raised her eyebrow at those words. "You are planning to kidnap someone they love and get the information as ransom." "And?" Amaya simply shrugged. She glanced at Nux, and her eyes darkened, "We sacrifice worlds to get what we want, what are the lives of a few more? If it means my Nux gets what he wants, I'll burn the entire Universe if I must." Seeing that familiar craziness in those eyes, Nux couldn't hide his grin. This is why he loved his Devourer so much. She shared the same craziness he did. The two crazy fools stared at each other for the next few seconds. "It won't be easy." Suddenly, Felberta called out. "We are practically going against a High-Level World, the closest aides of an Eternal would be Transcendent-Level Beings, and this time, we cannot use the same trick we used before." The Eldraeth muttered as she glanced at Eisheth and Skyla. "It can work." Skyla answered. "My Law makes it so they do not jump into a fight the moment they see us, while Sister Eisheth's Law makes them wish to submit to her." Skyla then turned towards Nux and grinned mischievously, like a little child who thought of something evil. "I am sure you have a better way, don't you?" Nux grinned at those words.
