"Is he… really going to do it…?"
Lyriana questioned with a worried look on her face as she stared at the screen in front of her. A screen that showed Nux's vision.
"You can sense his emotions, can't you? You, of all people, should know the answer, don't you think?"
Thyra questioned back.
"I… I am asking because I can sense his emotions…
It doesn't seem like he is going to back down…"
Lyriana answered, her tone getting grimr and grimr with every second.
"…Don't think too much about it.
He has thought this through."
Aeliana answered. However, unlike her words, her voice was unsure.
"I understand that, but… isn't this still too risky…?"
Lyriana was worried.
"You are thinking too much."
Suddenly, Lane spoke up.
And as the won turned towards her, the Shadow Demon continued,
"He already explained everything, didn't he? What's bothering you?"
"That man is going to a Middle Lev-"
"This is not the first ti he is doing sothing out of the ordinary. Using logic to assess his actions is foolish. So sit back, relax, and keep your mouth closed."
Lane waved her hand, dismissing Aeliana before she could even complete her words.
Seeing her act that way, the rest of the won narrowed their eyes.
"Sister Shadow…?"
Skyla called out.
After all, Sister Lane would never react that wa-
"The hell are you taking my na for!? I am not even there!"
A shout ca from Felberta's shadow.
The Eldraeth Progenitor looked down, and suddenly, Shadow materialized herself next to her.
"I am here, that one's Lane."
She clarified.
After all, she couldn't let her good na be tarnished.
The rest of the won, however, continued to doubt the situation.
"Lane would never act that way."
Thyra spoke out loud, finding everything more and more suspicious.
Did Shadow sohow take over Lane's body?
It might be possible. After all, everything was possible in this universe.
Shadow, who could practically see the won's thoughts on their faces, could feel her mouth twitching.
"Did you all forget? I am the side that woman hides from the rest of the world! What you are seeing is 'that side!'
I am not doing anything! That's Lane!"
Shadow clarified her na.
"Why would she act like this?"
Thyra was still defensive.
After all, everyone knew what type of person Lane was.
"She is not in his shadow."
Shadow answered.
"What…?"
"Nux sent her away from his shadow, so she's sulking."
"She's… sulking…"
"That's her way to do it, yes."
Shadow nodded, and the rest of the won turned towards Lane, who seed annoyed by all the attention she was getting.
"Shadow, I swear if I can one day kill you, I will."
Lane threatened.
"The only one who can kill is Nux."
Shadow answered.
Then, her smile widened, and
"He can fuck to death. I'll allow that."
"…"
"…"
The rest of the won, including Lane, turned silent.
Not reacting to Shadow's words, the only one who stepped closer to Shadow was… Edda.
She was very much considering what the woman just said.
…
While the won were chatting, Nux, who had infiltrated Zendel, one of the Five Middle-Level Worlds, smiled.
The task couldn't be easier for him since almost no world has a detection system that detects when a foreign entity infiltrates.
Every world relied on their World's Will to do the work, and against soone like Nux, where the World's Will fails, they were completely helpless.
Not that Nux was complaining; this made things easier for him. He was actually glad that was the case.
"Let's start, shall we?"
Nux muttered as he stretched his body.
Then, he expanded his senses.
"Where do I start with?"
He wondered, and soon, he got the answer.
He placed his hand on the ground and suddenly, he connected with the 'Star' inside his universe, gaining access to almost endless energy.
One thing to note was that after devouring almost ten new Low-Level Worlds and designating all of them as 'Stars' in his universe, the amount of energy Nux now had access to had grown to an absurd level.
And no, it was not just a re ten tis growth.
No, before, Nux was using the energy of a Lowest-Level World. Now, however, he had more than ten Low-Level Worlds to rely on.
His energy reserves were truly that,
Endless.
And using these endless reserves, Nux started creating his Ice Domain.
The ice started from beneath his feet and expanded at a frightening rate.
With him as the center, it continued to expand forward, forming a circle whose radius continued to increase without stopping.
100 ters, 200 ters… 1000 ters… 10 kiloters… 1000 kiloters…
The Ice Domain continued to grow without stopping. As for the people who were caught within this domain?
Everyone below the Sovereign Stage froze that very instant. The Sovereigns were still able to move. They, however, were losing their movent speed because of the absurd cold, and while they could still resist, their bodies were giving out as the temperature around them continued to fall.
"What's happening!?"
A Primordial Stage noble, who was enjoying his bath, shouted in anger as he noticed that the bathwater was frozen.
He stood up and noticed that the temperature around him had fallen to an absurdly low degree.
Frowning, he walked towards his window, and no matter how far he extended his vision, the only thing he could see was ice.
It was as if Zendel's climate had suddenly flipped over.
"What is happening!?"
He repeated his question, this ti, his voice was even louder.
"L-Lord Rajag!"
A Sovereign rushed in, his voice shivering.
Rajag turned towards him, and he continued,
"Zendel's temperature is falling to an absurd degree, but this isn't natural. The cultivators would be able to resist if it was natural, but this cold is accompanied by a cultivator's energy, and anyone under the Sovereign Stage is unable to resist it.
From the quality of energy, it seems like the work of a Sovereign."
"A Sovereign?"
Rajag couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Y-Yes."
"Does that even make sense?"
"I-I am not s-sure."
The being replied. Now, even his body had started shivering. He could feel that his organs had started giving in.
"L-Lord R-R-Rajag…"
Rajag understood what was going on.
"Stay here. I will deal with this on my own."
Saying those words, Rajag disappeared.
