Chapter 1662 Maybe it is because she is similar to her? Once again, Nux found himself floating in black space. It had become quite a common sight for him now. Was he inside his Universe again? Or was it another Universe? A Universe inside his already existing Universe? No. With his senses, it didn't take him long to notice that he wasn't inside a Universe. He was... well, nowhere. In his Universe, he was at the very least, able to feel his body, right now, he couldn't. He couldn't feel or see anything at all. He was in a void. He was in his deepest subconscious. Nux knew he had been here before, twice actually. One time was when he reconstructed his brain before breaking into the Semi Saint Stage, one the second time.... Was when he died, back on earth, done in by the Truck. Cases where he experienced 'death', in all honestly, one could call this place a path to afterlife and they wouldn't be wrong. This time however, Nux wasn't clueless. As he continued to drift in this space, for the first time, he knew what he was supposed to do here. He knew how he was supposed to spend his time here. A space where concept of time didn't exist, Nux simply took a deep breath and started organizing his thoughts. He did all this to expand his mind, his thinking capabilities. He was doing all this to raise his level of 'existence'. All of this couldn't be done just with forcefully injecting energy into his mind and let it adapt, if he did just that, then even if he was inside his Universe and was at his strongest, he wouldn't survive. After all, the energy he was dealing with here was equivalent to energy of two Lowest Level Worlds, it was a ridiculous amount of energy. So what Nux needed to do wasn't just to wait and let his brain be expanded till he could comprehend all the information he received after devouring the World automatically, he needed to do it manually, He needed to sort out all the information he had in his brain and further dwell into it and learn more. And for that, he needed time. Time that he was given just by being to this very place. So without further ado, Nux started sorting his thoughts out. Slowly changing the way he thought. Slowly understanding the type of existence he was. Slowly descending deep inside his own subconscious, unfolding the information hidden beneath, peaking into secrets of the very Universe, learning things he had never known before. How much time it would take, Nux honestly wasn't sure. It could be a few minutes, a few days, a few months, years, decades, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years, With the amount of knowledge he had in his subconscious, Nux wasn't sure if he could even comprehend it all. It was one layer after the another, just when he thought it was over, he would realize that it was just one layer, there were countless others to go. An endless learning cycle, where he was forced to learn even the most irrelevant things, because somewhere in the future, this piece of information would be useful to connect the dots. This was the reason he chose this place, a place where time doesn't exist, it didn't matter how long it took, his comprehension speed held no regard, a place where a year or a single minute would all feel the same, Yes, Nux was using the 'Death Passage' as his personal grinder where he could strengthen himself and return stronger than ever. ... And while he was busy doing that, outside, in the Main Universe, Felberta, had appeared in one of the 7 Lowest Level Worlds the women had targeted, and the instant she did, the World trembled, informing about her arrival to the monster who had destroyed all it's the strong beings residing in it in one move. The instant she received Fel's location, Amaya appeared right next to her. Of course, she knew that the World wanted the two of them to fight and perish, but if only the poor thing knew that the two were accomplices. "Did you have to be so destructive?" Felberta questioned as she looked around with a frown on her face. As someone who had the power over Genesis, she didn't like how everything around her was... well, dead, devoured. The ground, the grass above the ground, even the smallest, most harmless organism, the trees, the flowers, everything around them was... dead. With all their Life Force sucked out of them. Felberta couldn't find any dead bodies, however, when she sensed a few million surviving hiding in their houses hugging each other as their bodies trembled in fear, she quickly figured out what Amaya had done here. "I didn't have much time." The Devourer shrugged. "You had 15 years..." "We weren't sure if it would take 15 years or not this time, And I needed to keep myself free in case of some emergency or if any of my sisters needed my help to deal with some unexpected variables." Amaya replied. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 "Didn't we have Lady Aeliana for that?" "Do you feel right trusting an outsider?" Amaya's response was lightning quick, it was almost as if she was waiting for Felberta to talk about Aeliana. "Outsider, eh?" Felberta chuckled. How could she not notice Amaya's jealousy? She had long gotten used to it. She had also already noticed how Amaya focused much more on Aeliana than any other woman so far. 'Maybe it is because she is similar to her?" Felberta theorized in her head. Till now, none of the women Nux met could be compared to Amaya, yes, they were all beautiful and intelligent, but Amaya was on a completely different level. Even the women admitted that she was blessed with incredible beauty, a face that was no different than perfection, and even after that, Her beauty wasn't her strongest suit; it was her intelligence. Amaya was the 'key' every time the group came up with a strategy and no women could take her place simply because how brilliant she was. Aeliana however, was different. The woman was a Vampire, one of the most beautiful races in the world, and even amongst Vampires, she was exceptionally beautiful. Her beauty was unmatched, just like Amaya's and even in her case, her beauty wasn't what she relied on. The woman was the leader of the strongest organization in Yrniel. Not only was she an exceptional leader with a cult-like following where her followers were loyal enough to happily give their lives for her sake, not to mention she herself was an extremely terrifying monster who could pretty much take on the entire Ancestral Order, including the Primordials alone and not think about it twice. Aeliana held out against Amaya just fine and even surpassed her in quite a few, was normal for the devourer to feel that way, especially since it was her first time encountering such situation. "She is still an outsider," "Nux trusts her," "That is the only reason I don't say anything." Amaya snorted. "I simply wanted to be prepared if something happened, there is no need to look so deep into it. Now say it, why did Nux send you here? What happened?" "How did you know he sent me here?" "As if you would leave his side without him telling you to." Amaya snorted. Felberta stared at the woman in silence, then, she just nodded. "Riona was attacked." Amaya's expression changed. "Well, it was Lane who was attacked, Nux protected her and Riona's Law was activated..." Felberta explained the entire situation. "So Nux sent me here to you, he wants you to send everyone that doesn't have connection with him back to Yrniel." "Sending everyone back to Yrniel... Won't that be riskier?" Amaya narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?" "If the Universe has started targeting us, then if all of us gather together, won't it give it even more of a reason to attack once again? It might go after all the beings in Yrniel just to get rid of the anomaly." "" Felberta turned silent. "What do you think we should do then?" "The Universe most probably targeted Lane because she was always with Nux. The Universe cannot sense Nux, so every time he does something, in the Universe's eyes, Lane, who was always with him, was the culprit. It then attacked mother because it must have sensed her presence when she appeared at the scene. When even Mother was saved, the Universe would have targeted me, the only other person who has a connection with Mother, but since I do not 'exist' anymore. It doesn't have any more targets other than..." "Other than?" Felberta narrowed her eyes. "Aisha and Allura. They are the only ones whose Laws are related to Nux." As she said those words, Amaya expression changed as she realized something, "Aisha is in danger. A solemn look appeared on Felberta's face.
