"W-What are yo—"
Sharnoth tried to resist. She grabbed Nux's fingers with her hands and tried to move them, loosening his grip. She even thrashed her legs, continuously kicking him, trying to free herself from his hold. But just like before, no matter what she did,
It didn't work.
It was as if she was struggling against an immovable object. No matter how much force she used, even after completing her Body of Chaos and using ALL the Chaos Energy around her to sohow affect this man or weaken him even a little, it just did not work.
The Chaos Energy she gathered around him simply moved away the mont it got in contact with him, almost as if she didn't have any control over it.
Then suddenly, Sharnoth saw that sa strange dark energy that erased the Toy King covering her as well, making her heart shudder.
Just thinking about how she wouldn't be able to play anymore scared her. To think it was happening just when she had finally beco stronger,
'NO!'
Sharnoth shouted inwardly. Her resistance beca stronger as a ridiculous amount of Chaos Energy gathered around her, ready to protect her.
But then—
Whoosh
Sothing happened and to Sharnoth's horror, the abundance of Chaos Energy around her… disappeared.
'What…?'
Her eyes widened in disbelief. She tried connecting with it again, but other than the Chaos Energy inside her body, she couldn't sense any more Chaos Energy. It was almost as if it was erased from existence.
The woman slowly glanced at Nux, trying to understand what he was trying to do, but he just smiled and—
"We will play again later."
He chuckled softly, and before Sharnoth could ask anything further, the strange dark energy covered her entire body and she was enveloped in strange, empty darkness.
…
After Sharnoth disappeared, Nux stared at his 'domain' in silence.
'…You actually devoured her.'
Felberta, who was watching everything happen with the rest of the won, muttered, sowhat surprised.
She knew it was going to happen eventually. She could already sense how attached Nux was to her, and Sharnoth wasn't an exception. Maybe because she was grateful to him, or for any other reason, the Princess who rose from chains had beco quite attached to Nux, even going as far as risking her life for his sake, even before she got the chance to take her revenge.
The won knew that if nothing completely out of expectations happened, Sharnoth would beco one of them and be devoured eventually, but…
The reason Nux didn't devour her all this while was because he wanted her to face Vexarion and get her revenge on her own.
Sure, with the movent of the Supre Worlds, for a mont, it did seem like that wouldn't be possible, but everything here was tidied up perfectly.
Since Zarveth didn't want the information to spread, he had sealed the space, making sure no one knew what happened here. So even if Nux left Sharnoth, the Universe would only react to the disappearance of the Supre Party that was sent to hunt down the 'Chain Breakers'.
It would have nothing to do with the Leander Family and the battle between Sharnoth and Vexarion. If everything went well, Sharnoth would have gotten a chance to bring down and end Vexarion with her own hands, sothing she wanted desperately.
Heck, it would have been even easier considering she had completed that physique of hers.
Felberta didn't understand why Nux took this opportunity from her,
But—
'I had to.'
Nux answered.
'What…?'
Felberta's expression changed.
'What do you an?'
Vyriana questioned as well.
Aeliana narrowed her eyes as well—
'You ntioned 'his plan' when Sharnoth completed her Body.
Who were you talking about? And what is this plan you seed to be wary of?'
The Vampire narrowed her eyes.
She had her suspicions, of course, but it was still better to hear it from him.
Nux stayed silent for a mont, as if collecting his thoughts, then, he began,
'It is my dear father.'
'What did he do?'
Amaya questioned, narrowing her eyes.
'From Sharnoth's mory, I knew he had done sothing to her body.'
'Yes, you ntioned that he changed her body affinity from Darkness to Chaos. He used so Chaos Crystal, I think…?'
Thyra nodded.
"That is correct."
Nux nodded at those words.
'But he didn't just change her affinity.
He changed the very foundation. That Chaos Crystal he gave her, it was the foundation of his Physique—the Body of Chaos.
That physique was the reason Sharnoth beca as strong as she is today.'
'What…?'
'Sharnoth was the daughter of one of the strongest Eternals in the Universe, and she too had the potential to beco as strong as her father, but that was it.
That was the limit of Sharnoth Nocthys, the Daughter of Nocthys's Sovereign. Her potential was nowhere near enough to reach the level she had reached, that too, in re hundred thousand years.'
'Didn't you say it happened because of Energy of Chaos?'
Skyla questioned with a frown.
This wasn't the first ti they were talking about Sharnoth. After Nux read her mories, the won had surrounded him to know more about her as well.
Even then, Nux raised this question.
Sharnoth's growth was simply too fast and powerful when compared to the potential she was born with. At that ti, he credited it to the Energy of Chaos and that father of his, but…
'I was wrong.'
Nux shook his head.
'She grew this much because Zylarith gave her his Physique. It changed her foundation, strengthening her potential, and it wasn't just a simple boost. It made her Heir to Chaos.'
'Wait…'
The won's expressions changed and Nux nodded.
'Yes, her potential beca even stronger than the Supre Borns. It was comparable to a Progenitor of a Supre World.'
'That… doesn't make sense…'
Vyriana frowned.
'Her growth was too slow if that was the case…'
Aeliana nodded as well.
She had heard stories about her father's progress. Sure, her father's potential was probably stronger than other Supre World Progenitors, but still, Sharnoth's speed was nowhere close to her father's.
'Chaos is a complicated energy.'
Nux answered.
'She had to rise while hiding her existence, not to ntion she was suppressing her true nature all the ti. Adding other factors into this,
Her progress was actually quite fast.'
He clarified.
'So what was the end plan?'
Suddenly, Ember frowned.
'Did our dear father-in-law actually want to help her?'
She questioned sarcastically.
'Did he want her to be the new Chaos Progenitor?'
'No.'
Nux shook his head.
'Becoming an Infinity without a Supre World is impossible. That is the limitation set by the Main Universe.'
'Then…'
'He wanted Sharnoth to complete the Body of Chaos.'
Nux revealed and the won's expressions changed.
'Why is that?'
'The Body of Chaos…'
Nux paused for a mont, as if trying to find the easiest way to explain this—
'It is just as its na suggests, a body that is made of the purest form of Chaos.
A body that connects one with the Chaos Energy throughout the Universe. According to Zarveth's mories, it was sothing Zylarith created on his own, sothing that made him the strongest to ever exist in the history of the Universe.'
'Hah…?'
The won blinked in surprise and Nux began explaining everything: the limitations of Chaos Progenitors, how Zylarith overca everything, and the rest.
'The strongest being in the history of the Universe, huh…'
Aeliana muttered, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist the urge to ask the next question in her mind,
'Was he…'
'I do not know.'
Nux shook his head.
'I have never seen Father-in-law using all his strength, but Zylarith…
From Zarveth's mories, during the final battle between the Supre World of Chaos and the other four Supre Worlds, that monster took on Infinities of Light, Darkness, and Balance all on his own.
He was only defeated when the Eternity Infinity, who was an Eternal back then, broke through, beca an Infinity, and attacked him from behind.
Four Infinities had to use all their strength to take down the monster called Zylarith Chaosveil.
He was that strong.'
Nux answered and…
A heavy silence fell over the place.
Even Aeliana couldn't confidently say that her father could take on four Infinities alone.
'…He was strong.'
Vyriana muttered with a grim look on her face.
'He reached that level because of the Body of Chaos.'
Nux answered,
'It allowed him to control all the Chaos Energy throughout the Universe, making his energy reserves pretty much endless.'
'And to think he gave this physique to Sharnoth…
He…
He truly wanted to raise her as his successor, huh…'
Vyriana muttered, but—
'No.'
Nux shook his head.
'What do you an?'
The won frowned.
'As I said, the Body of Chaos is just… a physical manifestation of pure Chaos.'
'And?'
'Chaos is an energy.'
'So?'
The won frowned. Soon, however, their eyes widened in horror—
'Wait—'
And Nux nodded,
'An energy is manipulated by soone who understands it the most.
Who do you think understands Chaos better—Sharnoth Nocthys, Heir to Chaos, or Zylarith Chaosveil, the strongest Chaos Progenitor?'
'So Zylarith wanted her to complete the Body of Chaos because…'
'Because once she does that,
He would have complete control over her body, and Sharnoth would have no way to resist his control.
She would beco a re puppet who would do anything he wanted her to, even if she later broke through and beca an Infinity.
Zylarith never held back when he taught her and gave her everything she needed to get stronger—not because he wanted her to succeed or get her revenge or whatever—
It was because he knew that no matter what happened or what Sharnoth did,
She would never be able to leave his control.'
