Chapter 2159: Yes, Nux was now that strong. [Dalestomb has disappeared.] Lord Light informed, and the moment Serion heard the word Dalestomb, his expression changed. "What...?" He asked in complete disbelief. This, however, wasn’t the only news Lord Light was about to share. [As for the trembling that happened before this...] He began, his voice cracking a few times—something that, again, should not happen, but Serion and others were too overwhelmed to notice. [It was because Glowreign had disappeared.] Lord Light revealed, and the already shocked Serion widened his eyes even further, his mind so overwhelmed by everything he was told it was honestly a miracle that he hadn’t passed out. Just like Dalestomb, Glowreign too was a High-Level World that belonged to the Light Faction. Even though these two weren’t particularly strong and only had one or two Eternal-Level beings leading them, they, in the end, were still High-Level Worlds. For them to disappear like this, and that too, within minutes— It was... Something that had never happened before. The Anomaly—the being who was only targeting Lowest, Low, and Middle-Level Worlds till now—was now targeting High-Level Worlds as well, and in no way was that good news. [You said you wanted to investigate the disappearance of Glowreign.] Lord Light muttered in a shaky voice. [How are you going to investigate the world that doesn’t even exist anymore? Are you going to investigate its allies? How long will that take? What if the enemy targets and devours another world by then? What... What are we supposed to do now?] Lord Light spoke, but this time, the shaken Serion finally noticed something he had been unknowingly ignoring all this time. "We...?" He frowned in confusion. Did Lord Light just use the word we? He as in him—the Lord Light—and him, Serion, together...? That... that made Serion frown. Lord Light was an Infinity-Level being—an Absolute. A being who ruled over all of the Universe. Someone like him would never lower himself and bring himself down to Serion’s level. He would definitely not mention his name as if the two of them were a ’team.’ Or could it be... This Lord Light... is not the Lord at all and someone else...? The moment he thought about this possibility, Serion’s expression changed, but before he could think or do anything— RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE THUNDER THUNDER THUNDER Again. The universe trembled again, this time even louder than before, as if enraged by being constantly targeted like this. Serion glanced at the other Light Borns around him, each staring at him in disbelief. None of them could believe this was happening, but... It was. [I-It’s Heavenvein...] Lord Light spoke with a stutter. And this time, all Light Borns noticed it—his stuttering, his trembling voice. The Lord Light was... scared. And just that thought alone made them... widen their eyes, this time, not in shock but in horror. If... even Lord Light was scared... Then what was going to happen? ... While the Light Borns back in Gracevale were losing their minds, on the other side, in an entirely different universe— "You are being overly cautious today." A woman hugged a man from behind and spoke in a low, melodious voice. The man didn’t answer right away. He instead opened and closed his fists countless times, as if he couldn’t adjust to his own body. "Did you get too strong again?" Another woman asked. The man turned towards her and nodded. "Yeah, it happened too quickly..." Hearing those words, the woman who was holding him from behind smiled. She gently moved her hands and held his. "Don’t pretend as if you aren’t happy." She chuckled. "Who says I am not?" The man grinned, overlapping his hands with hers. "As for being cautious, it is better if we remain cautious till I am used to this. This is the first time someone challenged the authority of the Supreme Worlds so openly. I am sure they must be losing their minds at this point. We do not know how quickly they might send reinforcements." Nux explained. "It is not like the reinforcements scare you. Even if they send a hundred Eternals, as long as they enter your domain, the battle is as good as over." The woman who had hugged him from behind—Shadow—laughed again. As someone who had the closest connection to Nux, she could tell just how much he had changed in just the last few minutes. He had devoured three High-Level Worlds. What’s even better? Now that he could devour worlds completely—together with their living beings—the strength he gained from it was twice what he would normally gain. So, in a way, Nux’s physical strength was currently six times greater compared to when he had just devoured Umbrasol. Yes, he had turned into an absolute monster—to the point where even when Heavenvein’s Progenitor hit him with his strongest attack, he... didn’t even budge. And that was all without him activating his domain and experiencing the Main Universe’s suppression. Yes, Nux was now that strong. Even with the Main Universe suppressing him, most attacks of Eternal-Level beings would not even leave a scratch on him. The only beings who could actively defeat him were... "Eternals aren’t a problem. The more they come, the better, since they will only raise my army’s numbers even further. The problem is... the Infinities." Nux muttered, his face turning solemn. "I still do not know whether I am strong enough to face them or not." Once again, the problem was limited knowledge. He had devoured and read the memories of tens of Eternals, so he knew even the strongest Eternals wouldn’t be able to defeat him considering the level he had reached now. However, because he had read so many memories, he knew that... Infinities were different. No Eternal, no matter how strong, had ever managed to stand against an Infinity. The difference between them was simply too massive. Honestly, even if Nux believed that he could now defeat an Infinity if he brought them to his universe, it wasn’t a risk he was willing to take. After all, one mistake here might ruin it all. And Nux wasn’t foolish enough to make such a mistake. So for now, the plan was simple— "Let’s get as strong as possible, as cautiously as possible." Nux muttered, and his wives around him smiled. "Mm."
