Chapter 2138: Yes, Infinities are that strong. [What are you thinking, Nux Leander?] Azriel questioned directly, his instincts warned him that he wasn’t going to like where this was going. And hearing those words— "I plan to slap the faces of the Infinities, the so-called Masters of the Universe." Nux grinned and in an instant, Azriel’s face dropped. [Have you lost your mind...?] He asked with a flat look on his face, as if he was done with the brat’s antics. Then with a solemn look on his face, [Do not let your Power get into your head, Nux. It doesn’t matter how strong you are or how your domain makes you even stronger, You cannot win against Infinities.] Azriel spoke. And as a previous Infinity, his words meant something. "Why do you say that...?" Nux questioned in a low voice, even if he had no plans of directly facing Infinities, his Father-in-law was acting like that felt... strange. It felt as if he was missing something— "If I use my Domain, I will be as strong as a High-Level World, stronger actually, considering I don’t just have Umbrasol in my Universe. Shouldn’t I have some chance against Infinities? What if instead of facing all four of them, I face just one of them? The weakest of them, let’s say... uhh... Eternity. What if I face Eternity’s Infinity in a fair, one-on-one battle?" Nux asked. [It will be a one-sided loss.] Azriel answered without a pause. It almost felt like he was saying this just so Nux would throw out whatever plan he had out of his mind. "Even though I am as strong as a High-Level World...?" Nux asked. For some reason, he was having a hard time believing Azriel’s words. Sure, he wasn’t foolish enough to actually fight Infinities when he wasn’t sure of how strong they were, but... He truly believed he now held a chance against them. Yes, he was that strong now. But... [It doesn’t matter, Nux.] Azriel shook his head again, his expression didn’t change. [Even if you devour a few more High-Level Worlds, it wouldn’t make a difference.] He explained. "Why is that?" Nux questioned, his frown deepening. Not just him, his wives had the same reactions, even the other progenitors who were hearing Azriel’s words seemed a little taken aback. Everyone waited for Azriel to explain and finally, the Vampire began with a sigh, [When it comes to Infinities, things change. Other levels depend on Phase, the Universe has set itself in a way that the difference in Phase is absolute, no entity is an exception to that. However, this does not apply to us. I am the Universe’s child, I can use its power to strengthen myself and defeat my enemies, Cultivation Phases no longer matter to me. As for you, well, you are not even a part of the Main Universe, its restriction simply does not matter to you. However, When it comes to Infinities, things change.] The Vampire took a brief pause, looking at Nux to make sure he was listening and understanding his words. Nux nodded, signaling him to continue. [For Infinities, things aren’t just about the difference in Phases. Infinities are not stronger than Eternals because they are a Phase higher, while that is indeed part of the reason, In truth, even if the restriction of Phase was removed, Eternals would never be able to get close to Infinities.] Nux frowned at those words, a little confused. He still didn’t understand the Main Universe as well as Azriel did, so his words were somewhat confusing. Azriel realized it as well. This was also the reason he never bothered to explain it before, he knew the boy wouldn’t be able to understand it. But seeing as to how the boy reacted, Azriel knew he needed to say something right now, even if he had to twist a few explanations in a way that they weren’t essentially incorrect, but weren’t incorrect either. [Think of it like this.] Azriel began. [Infinities are essentially the Universe’s strongest creations after the Supreme Worlds, basically, they are the Universe’s Protectors. If you compare it in terms of strength, Infinities are much stronger than High-Level Worlds.] "What...?" Nux’s expression changed. A single being stronger than an entire World? That too, a High-Level World? This didn’t make sense, it didn’t follow the usual pattern. Take an Eternal for example, An Eternal is nowhere close to being stronger than even a Lowest-Level World. Sure, an Eternal can definitely destroy a Lowest-Level World, but that is only because the World in question isn’t a living entity and is unable to ’fight back’. But in terms of pure energy, an Eternal is nowhere near close to the energy that a Lowest-Level World has. So even if an Infinity is stronger than a Lowest-Level World, he shouldn’t be stronger than a higher-level world, especially not a High-Level World. Or at least... This was what Nux believed. But... [Yes, Infinities are that strong.] Azriel simply nodded. [Devour a High-Level World and devour an Infinity, You will sense the difference yourself. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 High-Level Worlds are the Universe’s third favorite Entities, but it is still nowhere close to Infinities, the Universe’s second favorite Entities. If the Universe reacts strongly to the disappearance of a High-Level World, the disappearance of an Infinity would pretty much make it initiate self-destruction just so it can get rid of the filthy entity that has been stealing what did not belong to it.] Azriel explained. He then looked into Nux’s eyes and— [So if you are planning to go against Infinities, Remove that thought from your head. You are not strong enough yet.] He spoke with a concerned look on his face, an expression that for a moment surprised Nux. Was his father-in-law... worried about him...? That was a first. [Don’t get ahead of yourself. I only want you to be careful because my Lia’s life is connected to yours. I cannot lose my daughter just because I gave in and chose a reckless and foolish son-in-law.] Azriel snapped. "How did you know what I was thinking?" Nux blinked. [Did you see how your face looked like just now?] Azriel retorted with a disgusted face, a look that made Nux turn towards his wives. The women nodded silently and in the end, Nux just sighed, "Whatever, I wasn’t planning on facing Infinities anyways, so you do not have to worry, my caring Father-in-law~" Nux answered with a big smile on his face, A smile that made Azriel feel the urge to enter his Universe and slap him.
