Chapter 2100: A Law that should not exist. BOOOOOOOM A powerful shockwave rippled through the empty space—the explosion did not have any sound, there was no fire, no blast, nothing, yet... It was louder and brighter than anything any being had ever witnessed before. The dark, lifeless, and still Universe began to change. With the Assimilation, the Light and Darkness finally formed the perfect Balance. The dark Universe began to see ’color’ for the first time. The soft, gentle light came like sunlight, but soon, it grew stronger, brighter, deeper. Soon, the color expanded. Blues, golds, greens, and reds flowed into the space. What saw the biggest change was Umbrasol, the center of Nux’s Universe. A wave of color spread across the land. The mountains turned deep stone gray, then shifted to warm brown and silver, with green moss blooming along their peaks. Rivers lit up with shining blues, flowing clear as crystal, as if they had always been moving but only now remembered how to shine. Forests turned from ash-colored shadows to bright hues of green and gold, their leaves fluttering for the first time. The skies gained a gradient of deep purples and soft oranges, stars glowing with warmth instead of cold light. Umbrasol no longer looked like the dark world it was—it looked brighter than ever, even more than when Nux devoured it. The once-called World of Dead felt more alive than anything in the Universe. Even the space between things changed—shifting from cold emptiness to something that felt alive, something balanced. The Ten Primordial Energies had settled. Light and Darkness flowed side by side. Creation and Destruction pulsed together. Life and Death circled each other in quiet agreement. Time and Space held everything in place, even Chaos and Balance formed a perfect harmony. Nux’s Universe was no longer just a structure. It was now a complete Universe—ready to grow. Ready to begin. Then... In the calm of a quiet lake, on a small, floating island, A tiny spark formed. It was small. Simple. And barely visible. Yes, the first speck of life. The first cell. It pulsed once... then twice... And then it moved. The first lifeform of Nux’s Universe had been born. The beginning of everything had finally arrived. And during all this change... BOOOOOOM Nux, who was still smirking at Neremoth, keeping up the act, suddenly felt a deep pulse ringing out—not from the Universe, but from himself. From within. His body shook, even his enhanced mind trembled as a pure, raw Power surged through every corner of his being. "What is this...?" He muttered as he sensed all this power. Nux wasn’t a fool. He had finally gathered all Ten Primordial Energies, so obviously he was expecting big changes after this. He knew even breaking through to the Transcendent Stage wouldn’t be surprising. But... This wasn’t it. He could feel it—something inside him was breaking open, he was breaking through. But... it was something different. It was something he had never felt or experienced before. Nux had devoured worlds. He had set up a cultivation bridge up to the Eternal Level, so he knew everything there was to know about the Transcendent Stage. He had devoured hundreds of Transcendents, so he even knew what it felt like. He knew how the body shifted, he knew how one’s soul expanded, how the Law changed, But this... This was different. It was greater, far, far greater. A storm of golden-black energy surrounded him as his form began hovering in the air without him doing anything. It... felt like an Evolution. A Step beyond what was known. Nux clenched his fists. A simple action such as this made the sky shimmer. His Universe pulsed with an extremely pure energy. "Transcendent Stage huh..." He muttered as he closed his eyes and sensed the changes inside him. The cultivation bridge that everyone followed—Beginner to Divine, Divine to Primordial, the Transcendent and then Eternal—it was created by the Main Universe. A stable, linear, and predictable path. But But his own path was now diverging. Of course, as a Universe, his Path had always been different, but they were still in line, even similar in some cases, but now... It was no longer similar. It was something else entirely. The gap between his way and the common path had widened so far... they no longer looked like the same road at all. As if the moment his Universe was completed, the final thread tying him to the old cultivation system had been cut forever. Then it happened. His body, that was releasing this pure, gentle yet threatening energy, suddenly stopped. In an instant, the changing Universe came to a halt as well. Neremoth, who came out of his reverie, felt like this was a chance. He pounced toward Nux, but Nux simply waved his hand and willed his existence far from him. The Space around Neremoth formed a loop, making it impossible for him to leave that region. Yes, just like that, one of the strongest Eternals in the Universe was jailed with no way of getting out. Could Nux have done it sooner? Of course, he had complete control over this place. He could have done it sooner, but for it to be possible, he needed to constantly alter the Space Laws to make sure he didn’t escape. It was far more taxing than talking to him, punching him, or being tortured and shouting whenever needed. After dealing with the momentary distraction, Nux focused back on his own body again and the changes happening inside it. It felt as if his very being was changing, and of course, all this change was being reflected inside Nux’s Universe. Far above Umbrasol and all other entities, something was born. A Star. A Star different from the worlds Nux had assigned to act as a star. It was a Star with a far more powerful Aura than anything present in his Universe, and as the Star grew bigger and more overwhelming, Nux sensed his connection to it. A Law. A new, entirely different Law—something outside of the known system. A Law that belonged to Nux and Nux alone. Yes, Nux had finally formed his own, original Law. A Law he couldn’t put into words. A Law that made no sense. A Law that was the amalgamation of all of his experiences thus far. A Law that would continue to grow with him till Eternity. A Law that truly represented him. A Law that should not exist. A Law that goes against everything that was, is, and will be. It was the rejection of everything that was ’known.’ Order, Structure, Framework—it went against all. It went against even the newest concepts and the concepts that had existed for eons. Where other Laws follow fixed patterns—bound by balance, cycles, and principles—this Law existed outside the rules entirely, just like Nux. It cannot be predicted. It cannot be replicated. It cannot be suppressed. This Law destabilizes reality itself. It corrodes everything there is—weakening Domains, bending Space, warping Time, and breaking cause-and-effect—all of it happens merely because of its existence. It was not a Law of destruction or creation. It was the Law of Exception. A Paradox. An Exception made manifest. A Law that grew stronger the more "impossible" Nux became—feeding on contradiction, thriving on imbalance, and evolving each time the very Universe failed to define him. It was... the antithesis of control. A threat not just to enemies... But to reality itself. And Nux, whose mind was loaded with all the information about his new Law and everything it could do, came up with a suitable name for it. "The Law of Anomaly." He spoke with a confident smirk. He believed that his Law no longer needed the nametag of being ’Absolute.’ His Law was already above that. Flicker The Star that represented his newly formed Law hummed, as if accepting its name. Nux called it the Star of Anomaly. As the Star of Anomaly stabilized, the energies roaming wildly inside Nux’s body and the entirety of the Universe came to a still, calm halt as well. Nux’s cultivation had stabilized. Finally, he was now a Transcendent—if he could even be called that. With a smile, his gaze passed through what was hidden and fell on his wives. His body moved, appearing out of thin air without even altering the Space around him. His wives were already surprised by what happened around them, staring at a certain woman with shocked looks on their faces. When Nux appeared, they glanced at him and sensed the changes inside his body. "It is good to see you all in color." Nux chuckled lightly. The wives laughed. "We finally did it, huh..." Amaya muttered. "Indeed." Nux nodded. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Of course, there was still a lot he wanted to do, this wasn’t yet over. Therefore, he glanced at another woman. The woman who had attracted his wives’ attention before him—the woman who... had turned into an entirely different entity. "Shadow." He called out, and an incredibly beautiful woman stepped forward. "So this is my new body, eh? Acceptable." The woman chuckled.
