Chapter 2170: He... he’s fast—! "That felt itchy." Nux spoke as he scratched his elbow with a slightly uncomfortable look on his face before glancing at the Light Borns in confusion and— "But wasn’t it too much work just for a mere light show?" "...what?" "...Light show...?" The Light Borns couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The golden flames that should have burned him to ashes danced around his skin harmlessly before fading into nothing. The Light Borns looked at the man hovering in front of them carefully, trying to find something—anything. But... Nothing. There was nothing. Their attack... it did absolutely no damage. And it wasn’t regeneration. The Anomaly didn’t regenerate or heal his injuries after being harmed, he just... Their attack just... did not work. His body’s raw defense was... that strong. "N-No... T-That can’t be!" One of the Light Borns spoke. "T-This must be one of his tricks! His abilities! There were reports of him having Power of Space, were there not? He must have used some Space Law to transfer the impact of our attack to some other space! This is the reason he himself is unaffected!" He theorized. A theory that would have normally worked and been quite believable but... They were the Light Borns. These beings had ruled over others as the strongest for trillions of years. Their combined attack... if its damage could possibly be ’teleported’ to some other space like the Light Born said—they wouldn’t hold the title of one of the strongest. Their attack did true damage through light itself. Even if the enemy had the ability to transfer the impact of an attack somewhere else, he would need to react at the speed of light and use his ability at the exact moment for it to work— A task which was simply impossible, especially against an attack as grand as Nova Bloom, which did damage and changed its pattern at every single instance. There was absolutely no way an enemy could avoid this attack unless he teleported himself and dodged the attack entirely but... That was clearly not the case here. Not that the Light Borns believed it—they were sure. The Anomaly was trying to fool them. He must have teleported away and reappeared when the attack was bearable. There was no way he could take their attack head-on otherwise. Of course, Nux had no idea what they were thinking, neither did he care. He just tilted his head slightly, feeling his muscles tighten accordingly as if he was studying his own body. Then— He moved and— BOOOOOM In an instant, a shockwave rippled through the void. One instant, he was standing still, the second, he appeared right in front of one Light Born, his fist already buried in his chest. "What...?" The Eternal’s radiant armor shattered like glass. The Light Born stared at the monstrosity standing in front of him with a horrified look on his face as golden blood dripped down from his agape mouth. In shock, he looked down and realized there was a big hole in his chest. His golden blood flowed without stopping while his body began to heal but— The familiar dark energy quickly surrounded him. He tried to move or resist, but his body was busy healing the fatal wound it had just suffered. He had no strength to move. In the end, the Light Born lost his vision. The black energy surrounded him completely, the last thing he heard was— "He... he’s fast—!" "A-Attack him!" His comrades rushing towards him gave him a sense of relief, but honestly, deep inside, he could feel it as well. This... was the end. Even if his comrades gave their all, this wasn’t a battle they could win. He... he couldn’t be saved. And he was right. "C-Charge!" The Light Borns rushed towards Nux. His body twisted in reaction, his leg sweeping through the void, colliding with another Light Born. BOOOOM With just one attack, the said Light Born was sent flying back, coughing blood while the bones inside his body shattered in a way that even someone like him, who could heal any wound within seconds, would need more than a few minutes to recover. Another Light Born tried to block Nux with his sword, but Nux’s kick tore through the shield, bent his arm, and sent him crashing into the void, his halo flickering violently. The shockwaves every single one of his movements created warped the very space around them. It was clear—even this space itself couldn’t take how ridiculously strong this monster was. The Light Borns, however, noticed something. Nux’s breathing was... uneven. He hadn’t even moved much, but it felt like he was already tired. No, he didn’t look tired—it was something else. His movements seemed... rough, unrefined... one that hadn’t developed yet. Then suddenly— "Wait... it happened before... He tried to move and appeared in a completely different place... Was that... a mistake?" One of them pointed out. And soon, the Light Borns realized it. The enemy... He was strong, yes, but... He wasn’t undefeatable. "Change formation! Engage from all sides!" And just then, with a reformed hope in their hearts, another order was passed. The Light Borns moved. Thirty of them raised their arms, their halos merging to form a massive ring of light. Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Inside it, thousands of Light Sigils began to spin, creating a colossal, ever-turning sun. "Cathedral Manifestation!" The ring expanded, birthing radiant towers of energy that surrounded Nux, locking him in a divine fortress of light that sealed the Space Laws itself. Spears of condensed golden light rained down from every direction, each carrying the power to erase mountains, worlds, even souls. But Nux... He just let it happen. He let the golden rain fall on him, his body moving as he dodged them one by one. A decision the Light Borns grinned at. After all, they had all seen that the enemy’s body wasn’t properly coordinated— Dodging thousands of spears in a limited space... It was... impossible. And they were right. Nux barely dodged about eighteen spears until finally, he moved a little too much to the left and one of the spears landed right on his chest— BOOOOOOOM
