"I do not plan to kill you."
Nux spoke as he glanced at the Eternals.
Of course, considering what he had just done a minute ago, his words weren't very convincing—especially when the Eternals had tried to attack Nux just like Varana did.
But…
The Eternals did not have a choice either.
The enemy was strong, much, much stronger than what they were expecting and…
All their communication channels had failed. They tried again and again, but they failed to communicate with anyone outside of this… place.
Even the Artifacts given to them by the Supre Borns weren't working, so hoping that reinforcents would arrive for their sake was a foolish hope as well.
In the end, there were only two paths ahead of them.
Either follow this man's words or…
Die, possibly in a way even more brutal than Varana.
The Eternals stared at each other, communicating with their eyes. It was clear that every single one of them wanted the sa thing, so finally, one of them—a Luminari—stepped forward and—
"What do you want?"
She questioned.
Yes, the Eternals had decided to live.
After all, if they played their cards right, they might learn more about this place they were in, a way to leave and contact the outside world, and sohow co out of this situation alive.
"Absolute loyalty."
Nux answered the Luminari's question. The woman's eyes flickered at those words.
"Absolute loyalty? Loyalty for what?"
"I want you to submit to .
That is the only way you live."
"But we have submitted to the Supre World of Light."
The woman answered.
"Is your loyalty to the Supre World of Light stronger than your will to live?"
Nux asked.
It was a direct threat—sothing that made the woman sowhat uncomfortable, not because she was threatened, but because she saw how… unbothered this man was when she ntioned the Supre World of Light.
No matter what, the Supre World of Light was… a Supre World—one of the strongest worlds in the Universe, an absolute power that no being could go against.
Even the entities from other Supre Worlds hesitated a little when she ntioned the Supre World of Light in front of them, but…
A reaction like this was…
It was the first ti she had seen sothing like this.
"You didn't answer my question."
Nux comnted.
The woman flinched at those words. She stared ahead, at the place where Nux should be, but her instincts scread in terror when she didn't see him there.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on top of her head, and in that very instant, all thoughts of resistance, loyalty, and thinking of a way to get out of this situation went out of her head and—
"It is not! It is not!"
She shouted, her eyes wide in horror as she stared at Nux, whose hand was on top of her head. Her quickened breathing showed just what the woman felt in that little instant.
Impressed by her quick reaction and ability to adapt, Nux nodded to himself, satisfied.
"Then are you ready to submit?"
"I am."
The woman nodded; she made sure her eyes showed absolutely no hesitation.
Nux nodded again, then he turned towards the rest and—
"What about the rest of you?"
"We… we are willing to submit as well."
One Seraphkin spoke, and the rest of the Eternals nodded behind him.
"Good."
Nux praised as suddenly, a foreign, dark mist ca out of his hand and quickly surrounded the Luminari's body.
The Luminari panicked, not knowing what she was supposed to do here, but then—
"Calm down.
As I said, I do not plan to kill you."
Nux's words cald her.
Even though the black mist felt threatening, sothing that might rewrite her very existence as she knew it, she… she stayed calm, just like Nux told her to.
She had no clue why the words of soone she t not long ago had such a strong effect on her. With so hesitation, she stared at Nux's face and this ti…
Sothing in her changed.
…Submitting to him might not be the worst thing that happened to her.
With that thought in her mind, the woman closed her eyes, showing her complete submission.
Yes, she wasn't just submitting out of fear alone.
With that, the black mist completely surrounded the woman's body, and when it disappeared, it took the woman with it.
Seeing the woman's sudden disappearance, the rest of the Eternals widened their eyes, panicking a little.
"Don't worry, I have just sent her to another dinsion. A place you all will be going as well."
Nux spoke. His words made the rest of the Eternals tense.
They obviously had doubts in their heads—what if he was lying? What if they weren't going to another dinsion but being erased from existence itself?
After all, none of them sensed the Space Laws being activated. How could this man connect them to another dinsion without using the Space Laws?
Of course, all these questions were just that—questions.
None of them dared to say them out loud.
Nux slowly walked towards them, and one by one, he continued devouring the Eternals until finally, he appeared in front of the unconscious Silvaris, whom Sharnoth—who had returned to her normal appearance—was holding using her energy, and he devoured him as well.
"Fourteen Eternals. It sure was a plentiful harvest."
Sharnoth comnted with a smile.
"You returned to normal."
Nux tilted his head, a little confused, and Sharnoth shrugged.
"She said she was bored since there was no one to play with, so she let have the control."
Sharnoth answered.
"So you can now actively communicate with her, huh?"
Nux raised his eyebrow; he did not think it would happen this quickly.
"Not all the ti."
Sharnoth shook her head.
"But yes, we can now switch when we wish, of course, that is if one is willing to give the control to the other.
For now, we have decided that she will do all the fights, while I take care of the rest."
"So she is leaving all the boring stuff to you."
Nux laughed.
"That is sothing she would do."
"Indeed."
Sharnoth chuckled as well.
"But I do believe that it is the best arrangent for us. I would rather have her fight and have fun than… talk."
"Hahaha~"
Nux laughed at those words and nodded.
"Indeed, indeed."
