"This is my second time seeing this, but it still seems to affect me. It is quite a cruel method," Vyriana commented as she sat on Nux’s lap like a queen, as if it was her right. Nux held her from behind, caressing her body as the dragon let herself be comforted by his touch. "Well, I am not a fan of it either. I tried to be nice," Nux spoke as he stared at the Primordial’s soul, which had almost a hundred pins embedded in it. The soul floated in the air, expressionless. Just like Etheryn, he had stopped resisting and accepted his fate. Umbrasol’s Soul Torture was simply too agonizing, even when compared to the Slave Seal. Thinking that this should be enough, Nux waved his hand, and the being’s soul went back to his half-dead body. The body jerked, but the man showed no reaction to the change around him. Nux didn’t care either. He simply extended his hand, and the man’s body started floating in the air before it flew toward him. Nux grabbed the man’s head, and a few strange patterns and texts appeared all over the Primordial’s body. It was the ability he had gained from devouring Aetherial—an ability that allowed him to absorb knowledge. It was one of the better ways to read someone’s memories. He had tried to do it before, but the Primordial had continued to resist his energy, and since Nux’s energy quality was lacking, he couldn’t overpower the Primordial. Even after a total of three warnings, the Primordial didn’t listen and continued to resist Nux’s energy. In the end, Nux had no choice but to use Soul Severance. Ten minutes later, the Primordial broke down, and now… Now Nux felt no resistance as his energy moved into the man’s body, and he started absorbing his memories. The entire process took five minutes, and once Nux was done, he opened his eyes and threw the Primordial’s body aside, keeping him alive. The Universe already knew that this ’entity’ had interacted with an entity called Aeliana Ruinous. If this being died for ’no apparent reason,’ the Universe might find it odd, and its attention might fall on Aeliana Ruinous. So Nux waited for Aeliana to come here by ship and kill him herself. ’Tsk, there are too many restrictions. I do not like it.’ Nux snorted inwardly.

After all, to it, ’death’ was never the true end. Nux, however, still played it safe. He didn’t want to take any risks when it came to his wives… or future wife. "Did you find anything?" Vyriana’s voice brought Nux out of his reverie. "Mhm." Nux nodded. "Got five of them. One Lowest Level and four Low-Level Worlds." "Just five?" The Dragon frowned. This man was from a Middle-Level World. A Middle-Level World managed countless Low and Lowest Level Worlds, especially during wars. Vyriana found it strange that he didn’t know more. "Five are quite a lot." Nux, however, had a different opinion. "I am looking for worlds he cannot be linked to. If it is a world he, his subordinates, his friends, or even his acquaintances have visited, I need to remove it from the list. The world I am looking for is something that cannot be linked back to him no matter what—something he just heard about in a random conversation and never bothered to think about again. A world so deep in his memories that even he himself wouldn’t be able to recall it. And while he did have quite a few conversations about many worlds, most of those worlds were visited by people who could be somehow linked back to him, no matter how weak that link was," Nux answered. At his words, Vyriana frowned. She understood Nux’s reasoning. If the worlds could be linked to him, then they could also be linked to her sisters. Vyriana knew that Nux wanted to avoid that, but… "Aren’t you being too careful? I feel like you are limiting yourself. Nux, you need to understand that we were lucky to get our hands on a Primordial from a Middle-Level World during this war. We will not be this fortunate every time. If we follow your criteria, we might end up completely halting our progress. Everything we have done so far would become meaningless. There are dangers around, especially the dangers of the unknown, but this doesn’t mean we stop walking." At those words, Nux smiled wryly. "You underestimate the Universe, my Dragon." Then, he stared at her and said, "Think of it like this: To the Universe, when a world is ’destroyed,’ it doesn’t matter since everything would return to it, and it would simply create another world. It is simply an exchange of energy for it where it doesn’t lose anything. To the Universe, ’death’ or ’destruction’ is all the same as ’life’ and ’creation.’ However, every time I make a move and take something away from it, it truly loses it—something it absolutely loathes." Nux then paused as he glanced at Vyriana and said, "Now consider yourself: If there is a thief in your house that is constantly stealing your things, and no matter what you do, you are unable to catch him… What would you do? Would you give up and let him steal anything he wants? Or… would you destroy your house, leaving nothing for him to steal because you know you can simply ’reform’ your house all brand new?" Vyriana widened her eyes as she stared at Nux with a shocked look on her face. Nux nodded. "I do not know how the Universe thinks. However, I do know that while it cannot self-destruct just to be recreated again since that would require too much energy, there is a high chance that it will destroy everything that has even the slightest link to the ’thief’ in order to try and catch him." "Then… Doesn’t that mean Yrniel is in danger…?"
