Just as Nux was about to make the connection with the Relic, Fwooosh The time around him slowed down. Even the Transcendent’s attacks that were coming toward him slowed down, moving at a speed so slow that it almost looked like they had frozen in one place. Nux raised his eyebrow in surprise. The surprising thing was that this seemed to have no effect on him. Well, not after his Relic was taken away. Yes, the Relic was taken away from his very hands, and he had no idea how it happened or who did it. Well, he had a rough idea of who did it. The entity was the reason he was doing all this in the first place. And finally, he heard a voice, a voice so… soothing and beautiful that he was momentarily lost. "Don’t be foolish, Nux Leander." Nux looked in the direction of the voice, and finally, his eyes landed on the being standing in front of him. A being who seemed to have surpassed the concept of beauty. A being with long black hair that seemed to represent the very concept of midnight. An obsidian veil made of pure silk covered her eyes. She wore black robes with gold patterns, a strange sort of power pulsated around her. Nux, however, couldn’t sense it at all. His focus was all on her. Her hourglass body that couldn’t be hidden under her robes, her veil that added a layer of mysteriousness around her, and her face that seemed nothing short of perfection. Yes, Nux couldn’t see her complete face, but he didn’t have to. He knew it. She was… beautiful. And as she stood there, in outer space, surrounded by thousands of asteroids that moved extremely slowly because of her power, her beauty was magnified to an absurd degree. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 *Picture* ’Holy fuck, she is beautiful!’ Shadow didn’t fail to comment. ’Of course, it is a woman.’ Amaya rolled her eyes, already hating the woman she was seeing. Why? She was too beautiful! Yes, even the Devourer, the very meaning of perfection, thought that this bitch was a little too beautiful. Almost as if she was created artificially to be the most beautiful woman in the entire Universe. What’s worse? This woman had been following Nux for a while now. Yes, Nux knew someone was following him. He didn’t know who it was, what that being looked like, or how strong this being was. He knew nothing, and it concerned him. What concerned him even more was that he only found out about her following him after comprehending the Complete Law of Absolute Space. What did that mean? It meant that they didn’t know how long she had been following him. The only thing Nux was sure about was that she couldn’t follow him to his Universe, or… Could she but just wouldn’t? Enjoy new chapters from freewebnovel Nux didn’t know. There were too many questions. Of course, there were also a few answers, or assumptions to be more precise. First, this woman wasn’t an enemy, at least for now. Nux was almost one hundred percent sure this woman knew he was the Anomaly the Universe was after. If any sane person knew it, they would instantly inform the Supreme Worlds, just like Faelara did, or try to get in contact with him and use their information to their advantage. But… She didn’t do anything like that. Of course, there was a possibility that she was trying to find out more about him. This was what Nux had been leaning on all this while. However… Nux knew he had to get in contact with her in one way or another. With Space Law, he could sense the ’Space’ she was taking as she hid, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t ’see’ or ’interact’ with her. Yes, he had tried it more than once. In his battle with Aeliana and the Progenitors, he randomly moved them to outer space, where she was observing him from, and rushed toward her, but every time he did that, he simply passed through her. Nux wanted to call her out, but honestly, he didn’t even know if she was a ’her’ at that point. He just knew an entity was observing him. With such limited information, it was foolish to call her out. So… He came up with a plan. Whoever it was, the entity was dead set on not revealing itself no matter what Nux did. It didn’t move, it didn’t appear, neither did it report his actions to the Supreme World. All of this told Nux one thing: It didn’t want attention. And Nux decided to do just that. Attract attention. And what better attention could he attract than that of the Supreme Worlds themselves? Of course, Nux wasn’t actually going to do it. It was just bait, a blind shot, a shot that worked just right. Not to mention he also got another annoying thing he wanted to deal with using the same trap. Nux smiled inwardly as he stared at the Transcendent, who, affected by the time flow around him, couldn’t even move. Yes, the Transcendent didn’t come as a surprise either. Nux had noticed his presence before in other missions. He made his wives avoid all those missions, but he continued to follow them. It was then Nux realized it. This being knew all the missions his wives had chosen. Well, not all of them, since he didn’t appear everywhere, but he was following his wives, and today, when they couldn’t avoid him anymore, Nux decided to take on both annoyances at the same time. Was he confident he could defeat them? Of course not. One was a Transcendent. Yes, with a weaker Law, but Nux still couldn’t defeat him. As for the other… This woman neutralized a Transcendent without even sparing him a single glance. She had been keeping an eye on him from outer space through the Universal Energy. Of course, he still wasn’t sure if she could actually see through it, but the very fact she had been following him all this time when even the Supreme Worlds couldn’t find him told him that she was anything but simple. Obviously, Nux couldn’t defeat either of them.
