"Right...
I changed as well.
I didn't notice it."
Nux just scratched the back of his head.
As he said those words, the won stared at him, their mouths twitching without stopping.
Of course, unlike these won, Shadow didn't hold back.
"Nux, no one likes a showoff.
'Obviously, why do you think I am liked so much?
It is because of my humble nature.
...
Even Shadow was speechless.
The rest of the won were just shocked by how thick this man's face was.
Seeing his wives' reactions, Nux laughed out loud.
Then, he glanced at Amaya and,
"How much ti do you think rcenaries?"
would take Astaria and others to beco Elite
Nux questioned.
"At least 100 years."
"That long?"
Nux raised his eyebrow, surprised.
"The goal is to only attract the attention of a world, not of the entire Universe. That requires one to stand out and be low-key.
You cannot just challenge all your competitors at the sa ti, crush them in a one-sided battle, do sothing even the people from the strongest worlds cannot do, and expect the results you desire.'
Shadow snorted. Clearly, her words were a straight jab at a certain soone.
And Amaya nodded, affirming her words and showing that this ti, she stood on the woman's side.
Nux turned silent.
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, Riona questioned.
"Our next course of action."
Nux replied.
"Shadow is right, if we wish to beco Elite rcenaries without attracting too much attention, it would take ti. It is better to leave that to Star.
Then it leaves a few options for .
I can sever others' connections using the Reaper's Veil. While I am tempted to do that, if the Universe realizes that the first few souls who were lost in Umbrasol were all from Yrniel, it might make it target Yrniel.
I would need to devour soone else's connection first, and I need ti to find a suitable target.
I believe that if I am going to use the 'space' inside my universe, I should fill it with useful Laws and not just anything I select at random."
The won nodded at those words.
"The second option would be to go help Star, but..."
"It wouldn't make much difference. If you reveal too much, what happened in Nexus would repeat itself.
Not to ntion you are not in the state to hold back right now.
You still do not have complete control over your powers.
I'd say you leave the rcenary thing to Astaria and the rest.
Vyriana suggested.
Nux nodded, agreeing with her.
"That brings to the last one..."
He spoke, and Amaya, who could read his face, just sighed.
"Do whatever you want.
Don't look at like that."
Other won realized it as well.
"This is what I need the most right now. I have a lot to gain."
Yes yes, we already heard you, mister. Did you not hear the woman speak?"
Shadow snorted again.
Clearly not liking what Nux was planning, but in the end, even she had to give in.
"I do not know how long I would be out for."
Nux replied.
"I guess this the last ti this will happen, at least for the foreseeable future."
Riona comnted.
"Yes, you can be sure of that."
Nux nodded.
If he successfully manages to use the Energy of a High-Level World to reform his brain, there won't be many things left in all of the Universe that his mind wouldn't be able to
comprehend.
Once successful, the knowledge he gains from devouring a Lowest or a Low-Level world wouldn't even make him flinch. He would never pass out from that little information.
The sa is true for the Middle-Level World as well. That influx of information might feel a little painful, but Nux highly doubted he would pass out.
The only ti he would actually be affected is when he devours a High-Level World, and honestly, it will be a while before he devours a second High-Level World.
So Riona was indeed right, this will be the last ti he is 'out' and not next to them.
Of course, there are other matters he needed to work on, like stabilizing his body,
getting used to his new strength, and other things.
But Nux knew all that was never-ending. His strength would continue to rise, he would continue to grow, only when he reaches the very top would this stop.
Nux clenched his fists, preparing himself for the big step.
'Shadow,"
He called out.
Yes yes.
The woman sighed because of how overworked she was, and 'shadowy hands' ca out
of Nux's legs, wrapping around his body and pulling him into darkness.
"I have no clue why he uses such a dramatic way to enter his own Universe.
It is his Universe, he could enter whenever he wills it."
Evane couldn't help but comnt.
This thod just looked so... ominous.
"It is because Shadow likes it."
Felberta shrugged.
"That bitch may act like she is tired and whatnot, but do you think she would give up the
chance to wrap herself around Nux?
She definitely likes it when Nux leaves that to her.
Don't forget, that bitch is Lane's alter ego, she is a pervert through and through, and
unlike Lane, she has no filters.
I am just surprised she hasn't jumped on Nux yet."
Amaya replied.
Clearly, she was jealous.
Her mother, knowing her daughter's state, just smiled wryly and,
"We should go in as well."
The rest of the won nodded and entered Nux's Universe again.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
The mont they ca in, they saw a giant whirlpool of energy that had covered almost
the entirety of the Universe.
Felberta, who was seeing this scene, widened her eyes in disbelief.
She was there when Nux extracted the energy of two Lowest-Level Worlds and used it
to reform his brain. The whirlpool of energy she saw back then was huge. She thought
she would never see sothing like that again, but...
What she was seeing right now was completely different.
If the whirlpool of energy ford by two Lowest-Level Worlds was a small gust of wind...
what she was seeing right now was a tornado.
A vortex of almost infinite energy.
"Evane"
Suddenly, Shadow called out with a grim look on her face.
Evane turned towards her.
"I have Nux's ssage."
Shadow spoke, her voice carrying none of the mischievousness it carried before.
Clearly, she didn't like what she was about to say.
"W-What did he say...?"
Evane questioned with a stutter,
"He wants you to be on standby with your Healing powers, in case...
His regeneration does not keep up."
Shadow snorted.
The won widened their eyes in horror.
Just as Amaya was about to rush towards Nux to stop him,
The whirlpool of energy moved, entering Nux's head in one go.
"EVANE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?
ACTIVATE YOUR LAW!!" Riona scread at the top of her lungs.
