Chapter 2079: He will not fight. "We need to think of something else." Nux spoke with a solemn look. It had been a long while since this expression had appeared on his face. After all, for a long while, he was always in control of the situation. Even if he wasn’t, at the very least, he knew nothing was going to stop him from getting what he wanted. But now, he couldn’t see any way out. Defeating Vexarion before the Supreme Worlds declare the Leander Family as the common enemy of the Universe seemed impossible. With Vexarion’s nature, he would never leave that shell that protected him no matter what. Nux thought about countless scenarios or ways to pull him out in his mind, but none worked. Not when they only had a day in their hand. "Let’s contact Sharnoth first." Suddenly, Felberta spoke up, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. "What?" Aeliana frowned. "Why her?" Amaya narrowed her eyes as well. "She does not know anything about this." The First Wife answered. "She has no need to know this." Amaya countered. "She does." Felberta did not back down. She stared at her sisters and, "You know her situation. You have seen it with your own eyes. Someone like her, an Eternal who could have all the glory she wanted, was prepared to submit herself to Nux just so she could have her revenge. She even accepted Zylarith’s help, knowing that he was up to no good, for the sake of her revenge. She needs to know this. Actually, she needs to know this more than any of us. She dedicated her entire life to her revenge. This is the only goal she has, her dream, her only wish. Nux appeared and showed that this dream of hers can become a reality, giving her a glimmer of hope when she was full of despair— But now that the glimmer of hope she had seen was on the verge of flickering away, she, at the very least, deserves the right to be part of this conversation. And who knows? She might even have a way out, no?" The Eldraeth smiled lightly, and the rest of the women staring at her could not deny her words. "...alright." Even Amaya had no choice but to give in. With the same smile, Felberta turned towards Nux, who nodded and activated the artifact. Sharnoth picked his call on the first ring, her face looked much more excited than before, "Nux Leander! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!" She bowed her head. Her always solemn face now had a lovely smile. It seemed that the woman had watched the recording Nux gave her. Yes, she was prepared. She was finally going to crush that light bastard who destroyed her world and subjected her and her mother to humiliation so strong that her mother wished to die than to leave that place with her. Sharnoth’s heart boiled in rage when she recalled her mother’s red tears as she requested her to kill her. Sharnoth’s crimson eyes shined, She will kill that bastard! She will kill him in the most painful way possible! She swore in her heart once again! But suddenly— "Sharnoth." Nux called out. "Deploy your domain, make sure no one is around you." He instructed. Seeing the solemn look on his face, Sharnoth did not ask for any explanation and simply did what she was told instead. The domain was created. Sharnoth, as the Absolute Being in her domain, made it so that no one other than her could remain in here. Once everything was done, she glanced at Nux and— "The Supreme Worlds are after me." Nux revealed. "...huh?" Sharnoth’s expression changed. "...what?" She questioned. "The Umbrasol Mission, I was the last one who took it." "What are you talking about?" Sharnoth did not understand. The Queen was too excited imagining different ways to kill that bastard. She had come up with several torture methods, especially after seeing the recording Nux sent her—so much that she didn’t even bother sending anyone to investigate what this matter was all about. After all, this matter wasn’t related to her, she had nothing to do with it. Or at least— That was what she believed. But— "The recent Universe’s reaction, it happened because the Reaper’s Veil that surrounded Umbrasol disappeared." Nux began explaining. Sharnoth listened attentively. For some reason, she felt like she wouldn’t like where this was going. "The Reaper’s Veil had a strong power, a power to hide everything that happened inside it." Sharnoth nodded. She knew about this a little. Umbrasol’s case was quite popular. "The Veil was so strong that even the Universe’s Will wasn’t able to sense what it was hiding." "What...?" Sharnoth couldn’t believe it. Was that even possible? Didn’t the Universe know everything? There were several questions in her head, but for now, she remained silent. "When I went to Umbrasol a few thousand years ago, I devoured Umbrasol." Nux revealed, and now— "Huh???" —Sharnoth was even more confused. "You... devoured Umbrasol?" She couldn’t understand it. Didn’t he just say the Universe wouldn’t know what happens inside the Reaper’s Veil? How could one devour a world without the Universe’s help? After all, it was the Universe that actually devoured the world. The Universe is the one who takes the destroyed world and uses its energy to create another world. This is how it has always been; everyone knew that. "I have the ability to devour worlds, all on my own." Nux revealed. "Nux, what are you talking about?" Sharnoth spoke with a solemn look on her face. "I can devour worlds. I can take them away from the Universe’s influence and use their energy for myself. From a certain perspective, you can say that I have the ability to steal worlds from the Universe. And every time I do this, the Universe reacts violently." "Wait... Does this mean..." "Yes, all this while, every time the Universe reacted, it was because I took something that belonged to it." Nux nodded, and Sharnoth’s eyes widened in fright. Just what in the hell was this man talking about!? How could something like this be possible!? Stealing from the... Universe? How does this make any sense!? "It first began about six thousand years ago when I first devoured a Lowest Level World, and from then on, I have been going against the Universe, devouring different Lowest, Low, or Middle Level Worlds. I even devoured people, and every time I did it, the Universe reacted—though the reactions later got tamer since it slowly got used to it and stopped reacting to people." "You can devour people too?" "I can. This is also the reason you cannot sense my subordinates like Maeve. They are no longer part of the Universe—I stole them." "You... stole them..." Sharnoth could only repeat those words dumbfoundedly. She had no clue what Nux was talking about. There were thousands of things she couldn’t understand. For now, however, she suppressed the rest of her doubts and focused on the important situation, "So when you devoured Umbrasol..." "The Reaper’s Veil hid it, and the Universe wasn’t able to find out about this." Nux nodded. "Once I noticed it, I realized that as long as I did what I did inside the Reaper’s Veil, the Universe wouldn’t be able to react to it. So from then on, I started devouring people inside the Reaper’s Veil. But now..." "Now that the Reaper’s Veil is gone, the Universe found out about everything." The Queen guessed, and Nux nodded with a solemn look on his face. "It feels cheated, hence such a strong reaction." "...and how do the Supreme Worlds come into play here? Why are they after you?" "Why wouldn’t they be?" Nux questioned back, and very quickly, Sharnoth’s expression changed. Of course they would be after him! The power Nux had was something beyond anything she had ever heard of before. Even her ’master’ did not mention anything like this. The power to go against the very Universe—it was far beyond the power of Chaos or any other Supreme Powers everyone else knew about. It was obvious the Supreme Worlds would be after him because he had such powers. "The Leaders of the Supreme Worlds have the power to connect their consciousness to the Universe and are able to tell why it is reacting in this manner. Usually, I am able to hide everything from them so they do not know what happened and which world I devoured, barely avoiding them. But this time..." "Because the Reaper’s Veil disappeared on its own, you couldn’t hide it and the Supreme Worlds got a lead." Sharnoth completed his sentence, and Nux nodded, "And they decided to act on the first lead they got in thousands of years." "So this was the reason I sensed urgency and desperation from the statement they released..." Sharnoth muttered. "I foolishly used my name when I took the Umbrasol Mission. If the Supreme Worlds investigate, they will find out about it and with our recent actions..." "The Leander Family will be highlighted. The Supreme Worlds will declare you people as enemies and... Vexarion will no longer believe you. So he will not fight." Sharnoth spoke with a grim look on her face, and Nux... "Yes." He nodded.
