Just as Zylarith was sure of his victory—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
It happened.
Nux released the only force that had not failed him ever since the battle began, his physical strength, and this ti, he released his strength in every single direction, tearing every speck of Chaos Energy around him as he freed himself.
Zylarith's body scattered as well and appeared a few ters away from him.
This ti, the pleased look on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a frown.
Sothing did not make sense here.
He had broken Nux's physical body ti and ti again and he had made healing impossible. With the state his body was in, it should have been impossible for him to exert any physical force whatsoever, then how…
How did he do it…?
How did he manage to exert a physical force this strong…?
Zylarith questioned inwardly, his mind started looking for answers and soon, he found it.
This ti, he did not attack Nux imdiately, he could see it as well.
His attacks did not matter, the boy seed to have an unlimited source of power, so he needed to find that source first and destroy it altogether.
Zylarith then began to observe the space he was in—
It was an empty void, there was no ground beneath them, no sky above them. Far away, there were so small asteroids drifting through the darkness, so were whole, so were cracked, so had already been twisted by Chaos and now floated in strange shapes that made no sense.
Even farther away, faint stars burned quietly, so were real, so were still forming, then, Zylarith's eyes fell back on Nux.
He was floating in the middle of the void, covered in blood.
His body was broken beyond repair, his Laws were overpowered, he was outclassed, but even then, he was standing tall, prepared to continue the battle.
"You are far more durable than you should be."
Suddenly, Zylarith comnted with a strange calm as he raised his arm and black-purple chaotic energy gathered around his fingers.
Nux didn't say anything, even now, he was trying to co up with a way to defeat Zylarith and sowhere, in the corner of his mind—
He was thinking of… undoing his domain and ending the battle.
Nux wasn't a fool, he could see that he was close to defeat. Chaos was too strong of a power, it had influence over basically everything he did, so much that against it, none of his Laws were working.
The only advantage he did have, his Physical Strength, was completely useless since Physical attacks simply did not work on him.
He had… no way to hurt him…
And the worst part?
"It will take too long for to break your body,
So let shift my target."
Zylarith was getting close to the truth.
No, he was already there.
The mont Zylarith said those words, Chaos moved, but this ti, it did not rush towards Nux, it passed around him and spread into the void.
Nux didn't show any reaction on his face, his mind however, was now tense.
The violet-black Chaos seeped into the dinsion, it touched the floating asteroids, the stars drifting away in space, then, it seeped into the deeper laws of Nux's Universe—
Yes, Chaos had started to corrupt his very existence—
His Universe.
And Nux could feel the effect almost instantly, the Chaos Energy continued to seep into the very being of his Universe and started its corruption, it didn't just affect the Dinsion they were in—
It was affecting… Nux's Main Universe.
The Universe where his wives and children were. If this continued, then considering the almost infinite amount of Chaos Energy this being had, with ti—
He would manage to corrupt his entire Universe and… take control of it.
Yes, his entire Universe, not just the dinsion he created just now, and if that happened, Zylarith would be able to travel wherever he desired within his Universe.
The mont Nux thought about it, his eyes turned colder instinctively. He tried to hide it, but it was already too late.
Zylarith noticed it.
"There it is."
He comnted as more and more Chaos Energy spread, seeping into Nux's Universe at an even faster rate.
Space stretched in places where it should have stayed still, Ti pulsed unevenly, Light dimd, Darkness felt weaker, Creation started producing broken shapes, Destruction failed to erase the wrongness, Life and Death started to lose aning, Balance tilted and could not return and Chaos…
Chaos was growing at a rate far higher than what should have been possible.
Nux's Universe—
It was being disrupted.
And the instant Zylarith realized how quickly all of it was happening, how weak the Universe's resistance was to his moves—
He realized the truth.
"I was right."
He nodded.
"Your Universe is young, young to the point it hasn't even developed yet. It has no resistance to . In here, I can do whatever I please and the Universe isn't mighty enough to stop .
This is why it is doing the only thing it can do to resist .
Strengthening you.
Beyond what should be possible.
It is supporting you with everything it has, it is keeping you standing when your body should have long given out.
But the thing is—"
Zylarith paused for a mont, his purple eyes shined with strong amusent and superiority as he glanced at Nux.
"I have no need to stick to expectations.
I have no need to constantly attack you, allowing the Universe to focus all its powers on one entity and fight back.
All I need to do is…
Attack your Universe instead.
I will weaken your already weak Universe, corrupt it with Chaos, and directly take control over it, hence controlling your and your wives' lives.
And you know the most exciting part?"
Zylarith looked at him with a wide grin on his face and—
"As I do all this—
There is nothing you can do to stop ."
He declared as he extended his hands and the Chaos Energy around him beca even denser, seeping even deeper into Nux's Universe, to its very foundation.
Nux's golden eyes shined with intense hatred as he watched Zylarith devour and corrupt his creation, his… self.
It was his.
He couldn't allow soone else to take it.
His greed would not allow that.
That was when Nux took a step forward and sothing in him just… snapped.
He could end this battle anyti he wanted, but he wouldn't, Zylarith Chaosveil would not leave this place alive.
Nux swore it in his heart and as he continued to walk forward—
His body began to… heal.
Not through the Law of Life, but through the weight of his own existence.
Zylarith noticed him, he noticed the rate at which his wounds were healing and that made him frown.
Was the Universe supporting him again? Even now? When he was directly attacking it?
That didn't make sense.
Universes, as young as they may be, were selfish entities, it would abandon even its strongest warrior if it ant it could protect itself.
Then why…
Why was his Universe so hell-bent on… keeping him standing?
Zylarith couldn't understand, but at this point, it didn't matter, once he read Nux's mories, he would get all the answers anyway—
For now, all he needed to do was to crush the seed that was developing.
He waved his hand, countless purple-black blades dashed towards Nux, he raised his hand, commanding the space around him to stop the blades.
"Do you not get tired of making the sa mistake again and again?"
Zylarith questioned as he shook his head with disappointnt. The Space around Nux twisted, the Blades that should have stopped were now closer, ready to cut him into pieces. Nux didn't give up, he slowed the ti, Zylarith shook his head again and the 'Sequence' broke.
The Blades reached Nux before they finished moving, stabbing his body from all directions.
Nux's blood scattered into the void.
"That was disappointing."
Zylarith comnted, his Chaos Energy began to seep into Nux's body, making its ssy state even worse.
But this ti—
Sothing was different.
This ti, when all this was happening, when Nux was clearly losing, sothing about how he looked at everything that was happening to him, to the Chaos Energy around him, sothing about that… unnerving calm in his eyes…
It felt… strange.
It felt… dangerous.
Sothing that made even Zylarith frown.
The Infinity of Chaos did not wait, he waved his hand and more and more Chaos seeped into Nux's body and his Universe, both at the sa ti—
But suddenly—
The Space and Ti around Nux twisted and he disappeared.
Zylarith tried to stop him, he took control over the Ti and Space Energy with a sigh—
"You have already used this trick befor—"
But this ti, before he could complete his words—
Nux was right in front of him.
And—
He punched.
