'Holy shit...'
Nux thought inwardly as the large asteroid fell on top of his body, crushing the body and physical strength he was so proud of in that very instant.
Against the Universe's Might, there was no resistance.
There was no 'Quality of Energy' or any other factor included. What crushed Nux and eradicated him from existence was pure physical impact generated from his collision with the asteroid.
He was helpless, utterly helpless, as anyone would be.
Even if it were an Eternal Stage Cultivator, it would be the sa.
After all, their biggest weapon that they relied on the entire ti was rendered utterly useless.
Laws didn't work against the Universe. Whether it was a Law that strengthened a being, a Law that enhanced their regeneration, a Law that stopped ti itself, or the Law that could give them the power over Space,
The Universe could simply nullify all Laws, making them absolutely useless.
A Primordial, Transcendent, an Eternal, or even an Infinity, with their Laws nullified, every single one of them was helpless. The only thing they had going for them was their 'high-quality energy!' and well...
Against an Asteroid that was big enough to be compared to a World, any quality of energy was nothing short of useless.
Not to ntion there were hundreds of such asteroids attacking Zendel.
Yes, the Universe had gone all out.
Even if the one on the receiving end was the strongest being in existence, he wouldn't survive.
The Universe made sure anyone and everyone would fall.
Well...
Everyone except Nux.
Other beings were helpless because their Laws, or their Domains, everything was connected to the Universe, giving it the power to nullify them, but Nux?
His Laws were never connected to the Universe in the first place,
So...
Even when he 'perished, it wasn't the end.
...
Inside Core, the won stared at the white screen in front of them, their expressions unreadable.
It was the first ti they had seen Transcendents in action.
Even Aeliana was the sa.
Yes, she had trained with Progenitors most of her life and had even given them a run for their money, but...
The Progenitors were rely Pseudo Transcendents. Let alone a Domain, they didn't even have a Law. Compared to true Transcendents like Zyreth, the Progenitors were like children who had barely learned how to walk.
Seeing the Domain for the first ti in her life, Aeliana and all the other won present were srized. A Domain where one was Absolute.
'So this is what it ans to be a Transcendent.'
The won nodded.
They thought that nothing could surprise them anymore, but...
They soon realized how utterly wrong they were.
Honestly, almost all of them were expecting that the Universe would simply devour Zendel and be done with it...
But for it to take such extre actions,
Actions that even a being like Zyreth beca absolutely helpless against...
Honestly, the won couldn't help but feel... small.
To think a being they all looked at in awe, the being that felt so... strong...
Would fall in such a helpless manner.
Then what was the point?
Wouldn't they be the sa?
Would it even matter if they ever got stronger? After all, against the Universe, it would all be useless. They would never be able to help Nux.
However, before the won could follow through with that line of thought, sothing changed.
Zyreth had now fallen. The asteroid's next target was now Nux, and instead of running away like they were expecting him to...
Nux simply sat down on the ground and stared at the sky in awe.
Through his eyes, the won saw that scene as well. They were overwheld.
However their warry for Nuv overnowered everything alee they folt
Finally, the asteroid clashed with Nux's body, and...
The screen they were staring at turned white.
No woman said anything.
They had just witnessed the death of the man they loved the most. Their hearts were shaken, and then suddenly,
Amaya's shadow trembled, attracting all the won's attention, and in a few seconds, Nux materialized from her shadow, stretching and cracking his body, as if getting used to the feeling of being alive again.
"That was... definitely much grander than I expected."
He admitted as he stared at the won with a bright smile on his face.
The won stared at him in silence, and maybe it was because his senses were duller than normal since he was just reborn, but Nux was completely oblivious to their looks and continued to speak.
"I was expecting it to use asteroids, but to think it would use so many at the sa ti, Zendel is completely crushed, nothing's left there.
Also, I thought my body would have been able to hold on for a few seconds, but I perished the instant I ca in contact with the asteroid. Honestly, I think that even if I was as strong as I am in my own Universe, it would have been the sa.
Those asteroids were definitely sothing.
Honestly, that Universe is overdoing it. This is such a waste of resources, it's no
different than using a missile to kill a mosquito.
Ah right, you people won't understand this, will you?
Well, you see, back in my world, since there was no magic, we created weapons of
mass des-"
Nux would have continued with his story, but then,
"Nux."
Amaya called out, her eyes as cold as they could get.
"Why did you wait?"
She questioned directly.
"Hmm?"
Nuv tilted his head in confucian
"I am asking why you waited for the asteroids to attack you. Why didn't you co here
before that happened?"
"I..."
Nux stared at his wife. Only now did he realize what was wrong.
His wives were worried....
He honestly wanted to lie right now. However, he didn't have complete control over
his emotions yet, so he knew the wives who could sense his emotions would
imdiately catch his lie.
So in the end,
He decided to say the truth.
"I wanted to see if I could survive if I went against the Universe or not."
The won turned silent at that answer, and Nux just scratched the back of his head
with an awkward smile on his face.
"Turns out I cannot. I am nowhere strong enough."
Again, the won stayed silent, all of them staring at Nux with expressionless looks
on their faces.
Seeing that, Nux sighed.
"I am fine, okay? I knew what I was doing"
He assured them with a serious look on his face.
"What if sothing happened to you?"
Amaya questioned.
"I cannot die as long as you are alive, rember?"
"That Transcendent stopped you from self-destructing." Amaya replied, her eyes staring at Nux, demanding answers.
"He was able to dismantle the concept of self-destruction, he was even able to freeze
ti around you, and when you stood against him, you also realized that if he wanted,
he could turn you into his puppet with no free will. He could have even dismantled your existence, and you would have ceased to exist, even stopping your rebirth. That Transcendent could do it all, and there was nothing you could have done again
Then why couldn't the Universe do the sa?
How were you so sure that the Universe wouldn't be able to hurt you?"
Amaya questioned, her voice trembling continuously.
She was shaken. Nux's death had a much stronger effect on her than she expected,
especially when she considered the possibility of him never returning to her. Just the thought of a life without Nux pushed her to the deepest pits of despair, and it
wasn't just her. The rest of the won present here, even Aeliana, felt the sa.
Nux, who could sense their shaken emotions, slowed down and answered,
"Because the Universe is helpless against ."
He answered.
The won narrowed their eyes, and he continued,
"I realized it when I was there.
Yes, against a Transcendent, I am at risk of truly losing my life, but that isn't the case
against the Universe.
To truly kill , one needs an Absolute Law and a Quality of Energy that is higher than
mine.
The Universe, however, could only hurt using brute force. It has no 'quality of energy. Its tricks are useless against .
Even when it erased the concept of teleportation to prevent everyone from running
away, the concept it erased belonged to its area of influence. I, who do not co
under its influence, was not limited by it."
"So... you could have teleported away from that situation the whole ti...?"
Vyriana questioned with a ridiculous look on her face.
"If Zyreth wasn't stopping , yes.
This is also how I realized that all my abilities work even when the Universe tries to
restrict them. So even if I died by its attack, because of Lane's Law, I cannot truly die."
Nux nodded.
"But... how...?"
The Dragon couldn't understand.
"As I said, the Universe is helpless against . It has no clue how to deal with an
existence like .
Even now, when I am here, it cannot sense because I am not releasing my Aura
anymore."
"Te it herance the Universe is a Will and not a living entity?"
Felberta questioned. As a being with powers related to creation, she could
comprehend this concept better than the others.
Nux nodded at her words.
"That is correct.
It is similar to how Umbrasol's Will could protect itself from an Eternal Level Being but
was absolutely helpless against soone like , who is much weaker.
Yes, the Universe is an entity with Absolute Power, But with its limited knowledge, it cannot do anything against .
It is more of a weapon I can use to my advantage than a threat."
