Chapter 2043: The one who escaped. While Sharnoth, her World, her Faction, and everything connected to her was falling apart and was desperately trying to think of a way out, The being responsible for it was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. The ground beneath him was covered with soft, purple grass. The wind brushed through his black hair, carrying a dry, strange scent. The sky above was wide and bright, painted with three suns that shined brightly. Tall trees with purple leaves swayed gently in the breeze, their trunks glowing faintly with natural energy. It was a beautiful land—wildflowers bloomed in strange colors, and crystal-clear lakes shimmered in the distance. Giant floating stones drifted lazily across the sky, birds with feathered tails of light soaring between them. But something felt wrong. Something felt... chaotic. Yes, this world was infested with the Energy of Chaos, the energy that Nux had been trying to comprehend all this while but... "Did it work?" Suddenly, a beautiful blonde elf appeared behind him and sat next to him. "I told you to be careful, did I not? Where have you been?" Nux questioned as he rested his head on the elf’s lap. "Nowhere, I was just looking around." Evane chuckled, gently playing with Nux’s hair. "I still cannot extend my senses beyond a certain limit, so don’t move. Things might take a dangerous turn when reinforcements arrive through the Portal." "I was careful, don’t worry." "Were you?" Nux raised his eyebrow, and in the end, Evane decided to change the topic. "So you still haven’t comprehended Chaos, have you?" Nux stared at this beautiful and adorable woman in silence. He knew what she was trying to do, but he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at her. He just gave in and decided to let go, "It is not easy." He muttered, answering the Elf’s question instead. He looked around and observed the thick, heavy, purple-black energy pulsing in the air. The energy looked like fog, but it didn’t move with the wind. It twisted and shifted on its own as if it were alive. It was the Energy of Chaos that this world was infested with. Yes, they were currently in one of the Lowest Level worlds that belonged to Khaemorr’s Faction. Nux had already enslaved the Leaders of this world 3 weeks ago. The reinforcements sent here met the same end, and ever since that day, Nux had spent most of his time in this world, trying to comprehend the Energy of Chaos and form a Law related to it. "It is like forming a Law related to light by staring at a light source, or a Law related to Darkness by staring at darkness. It is not a very practical approach." "Then why even do it?" Evane spoke as her hand gently held Nux’s, with their fingers crossed with each other. Nux’s thumb moved on its own as he gently rubbed the back of her hand. "It is quite interesting, this Energy of Chaos." Nux answered. "It is literally what its name says, Chaos. Be it Time, Space, or anything else, it has affected it all. It has rendered all abilities useless—even expanding my senses to know what’s around me has become difficult. It has been a while since I’ve had to just rely on my eyes to know what’s around me." "Well, you do have what you call cameras installed all over the world, do you not?" Evane questioned. Yes, since he couldn’t use his senses, Nux decided to create cameras and install them all around the world to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happened. Just the Portal alone had around 20 cameras ready to alert Nux the moment anything happened in the area. "Well, that’s more like a temporary artifact. If it is destroyed, I’ll lose the footage of that place. It is still not as good as enveloping the entire world with my senses. Even after trying it for a month, I have only been able to expand my senses to 50 meters. It is a pathetically low number." Nux sighed. "It is indeed quite a unique energy." Evane nodded. "Even the world we are in is plunged into chaos." "How could it not? Most abilities aren’t working. Beings with higher physical powers have come to power, but even they aren’t absolute either since Chaos made it impossible to detect enemies around. Assassinations run rampant, people cannot cultivate—it is a disaster. There were more deaths here in the past three weeks than in the last 10 years. What’s worse? Because of all the chaos this is creating, the amount of Chaos Energy is increasing, strengthening these effects even further. It’s an already strong energy with the power to strengthen itself with time. That is what the Energy of Chaos is." Evane nodded in silence. Honestly, it made her nervous that the enemy possessed such strong energy, but she trusted her husband and didn’t say anything out loud. Rather, she just tightened her hold on Nux’s arm as her other hand continued to play with his hair. ’Lord Nux.’ While Nux was enjoying the moment of peace with his wife, a subordinate called. ’What is it?’ ’You should come here.’ ’Oh...?’ Nux raised his eyebrow, somewhat curious. He stood up and with Evane in his arms, he flew out of the world he was in and teleported in front of the world he was called to. It was a Lowest Level World similar to the one he was in. Without thinking any further, he entered that world. Since this world was infested with Chaos Energy as well, he couldn’t teleport once inside. From here, he had to move on his own. ’Where are you?’ He questioned. ’Near the tallest building.’ The Subordinate answered. In about 15 minutes, Nux found his subordinate, who was sitting in front of 20 screens, all showing a destroyed Portal from different angles. One screen in particular, however, was showing something else, A dark-haired woman surrounded by Nux’s subordinates, a woman Nux recognized in an instant, "Maeve, eh? Since she destroyed the Portal, it must mean the Nocthari escaped." A small smile appeared on Nux’s face, "This is fun~" Yes, he decided to move.
