Chapter 1752 Umbrasol's Past 3 "But I just touched it..." The entity muttered, his tone full of confusion. "Did they overestimate these people?" He wondered. Soon, however, the entity just shrugged and stopped thinking about this, staring instead at the death energy leaking out. "To think the attempt of a High-Level World to try and become a Supreme World was ruined by an 'unfortunate accident.' Or maybe this was not an unfortunate accident at all? The Core that was supposed to be indestructible was unable to store any more energy and cracked. It was a big oversight that the Progenitors of the World missed, and because of their greed and desire to pursue strength that didn't belong to them, they, along with their entire world, perished as their experiment failed. Hmmm, sounds believable enough." The entity shrugged, then glanced at the beings he had subdued when he came here. There were about a few hundred million of them. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and an absurd amount of energy gathered. Mind you, Umbrasol was a world where beings who used energies other than Death Energy were weakened because other energies here weren't as dense as Death Energy was. That rule, however, didn't seem to apply to this entity. The moment he started gathering energy, Nux, who could see the energy flow, observed how the energy this man gathered unnaturally started becoming denser, rivaling and even overpowering the Death Energy. And no, Nux could sense that this entity wasn't using his own energy. Actually, from the moment he appeared, he had never once used his own energy. Even when he broke the 'indestructible' Core, that man didn't use any energy. If Nux got it right, then that entity used pure physical strength to crack the Core and from the looks of it, that monster didn't even try. This entity... He was altering Umbrasol's very nature, strengthening the energy he uses to the point that it was now suppressing the Death Energy that Umbrasol was so proud of. What's worse? All this while, Umbrasol didn't even react or try to resist. It was almost as if Umbrasol wanted this to happen. 'Just what in the hell is he...?' Nux wondered in his head. And soon, an answer came to his mind. 'An Infinity...' Even after witnessing the life of a High-Level World, he learned next to nothing about the Infinity-Level Beings... Actually, this was his first time seeing an Infinity-Level Being, and honestly, he wasn't even sure if this entity was actually an Infinity-Level Being or not. Sure, that was what logical thinking suggested, but honestly... After observing Umbrasol's life, if he learned one thing, it was that logic stopped applying after the Divine Level. Nothing made any sense. In this vast Universe, if your imagination could think of something, then probably in some corner of this Universe, that very imagining was playing out in reality. You are telling me that my father-in-law is stronger than this entity...?' Nux gulped. Just thinking about all the times he had gotten on that man's nerves just because he knew he wouldn't be killed because of Aeliana's presence made him shiver. Soon, however, Nux shook his head. He needed to stop thinking about all this. 'Should I write an apology letter...?" Nux thought, but then once again, he shook his head. That entity wasn't done yet. After reshaping Umbrasol's nature to his satisfaction, he waved his hand, and the energy he had gathered moved. Nux could see this energy entering the heads of Umbrasol's inhabitants. No, the Progenitors were no exceptions either. Seemingly satisfied, the being nodded. Then, the darkness shrouding him strengthened and... He disappeared. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞 As he did, all the changes he had made turned back to normal, and within a few minutes, it was as if nothing had happened here. Well, except for the Necrocore leaking out and Umbrasol's inhabitants passed out on the ground. Once everything reverted to 'normal, Nux saw translucent entity appearing out of thin air. It was his 'Soul Father." "They reacted faster than I expected." Zylarith muttered, his voice solemn. "And to think they would directly send that old bastard... I guess they did feel somewhat threatened, huh," Zylarith then laughed. "Cowards." Zylarith glanced at Umbrasol's inhabitants, who had passed out, then at the leaking Death Energy. "I guess this is as far as they go." He sighed. From his tone, he seemed to be thinking about something, but since he didn't voice his thoughts, Nux couldn't tell what it was. It was impossible to tell anything from his face that showed no features, let alone expressions. Zylarith left. A few hours later, all inhabitants of Umbrasol, regardless of their strength, woke up at the same time. It was as if, in front of that entity's power, the Progenitors of Umbrasol and any random mortal of the world were one and the same. "W-What happened here!?" A being muttered. Realizing that the Death Energy around Umbrasol was a lot denser than it normally was, he frowned. His worry was shared by the people around him. The Progenitors were much faster than normal people and instantly turned towards the Necrocore. The moment they noticed the crack that continuously released Death Energy, their eyes widened in horror. "T-The Necrocore cracked!" One of them shouted. In an instant, the Progenitors rushed toward the Necrocore. "What the hell happened!? Why is it broken!? Who did this!?" One shouted. "How am I supposed to know!? It was perfectly fine just now! I constantly kept my eye on it!" "Stop talking! We need to fix this, or it might get dangerous for us." "And how are we supposed to do that?" "Should we... create another Necrocore?" One of them suggested. The Progenitors paused. Soon, however, the strongest of them shook his head. "It won't work. The ritual takes too much time. We don't have the required materials either" "Alright, I will go gather materials while you all try to think of another way!" One of the Progenitors spoke as he hurried away. Quick action. Yes, the plan was rejected, but it was still one of the only plans they had. Even if it was rejected, someone needed to act on it so they wouldn't regret it in the future, especially when the time they had was limited. The other Progenitors continued their discussion as well, and Nux, who heard their conversation, noticed one thing. These people... They had no memories of what happened here...
