Chapter 2367: The Multiverse.
Nux remained in whatever state he was in for he didn’t know how long. He had already sorted Zylarith’s distorted memories in his head before he died, and now, he had watched and comprehended it all.
His understanding of the Law of Absolute Chaos was at the Level of an Infinity.
And the best part?
At this point, the Quality of Energy didn’t even matter.
After all, he now had the power to affect reality itself with his power. He could replace the Universe’s Chaos with his Chaos, no matter whether he was in his own Universe, or any other.
Of course, against a being like Zylarith, it would still be difficult since the Quality of Energy would be lacking compared to his but against other Infinities?
He would be no different than Zylarith.
In fact, he would be much stronger than Zylarith because of his other abilities and his physical body.
Not that... any of it mattered right now...
Because—
Even with Zylarith’s memories, even with the Law of Absolute Chaos, even when he had quite a few answers to questions he had been wondering about for a long time—
It did not matter because—
His understanding of Impossibility did not increase.
Well, it did increase, if he was in his Universe or even in the Main Universe, he would have been able to use the Power of Anomaly more accurately, with much less Energy.
It might even have been enough to actually defeat the Five Infinities.
But—
In here, it didn’t change anything.
The Law of Absolute Chaos, the Law that Nux had based his Law of Anomaly on needed Energy.
The Law of Anomaly needed... Energy.
All this time, Nux had almost infinite Energy, so he never once cared about it, but in here—
The concept of Energy did not exist.
So the Law of Anomaly couldn’t be used either.
Or at least...
The current Law of Anomaly couldn’t be used.
Yes, even now, Nux hadn’t given up.
He simply... scratched away the restriction he set upon himself and his Law.
The Law of Anomaly allowed him to be out of the System, and the very fact that Laws needed Energy to be used was part of the System.
He was trying to leave the System while still thinking under its restrictions.
So...
That was what Nux did.
He completely abandoned the System.
He scratched the approach he initially picked, Zylarith’s memory, his Chaos, he no longer needed it to grow his understanding of Impossibility.
After all, Chaos and Anomaly were two different powers.
Trying to comprehend Anomaly by using Chaos as the thread would only take him so far—
Now, he needed to focus entirely on Anomaly and that was exactly what he did.
And...
He did it for hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries, even Eons maybe—
He didn’t know, neither did it matter because the concept of time did not exist here.
Nux simply sat there, developed his understanding of Anomaly and finally—
He moved.
In a state where moving should not be possible—
He moved.
And he passed through that opening he sensed through the Bloodedge.
The next moment—
An endless amount of Light struck him from all sides. For a moment, he couldn’t see but after he got used to the blinding light and was finally able to look around—
He saw it.
The space around him was dark, but not like the darkness he had escaped from. This darkness was deep and full. Inside it, countless streams of light stretched in every direction.
It was... vast.
Nux didn’t even have a name for what it was or what it looked like.
Rivers? Roots? Veins?
They all matched but... a clearer description would be...
Streams of multi-coloured lightning frozen in the middle of a storm, just... a few hundred thousand times grander.
These massive glowing branches spread through the void, twisting and turning and splitting again and again until even the smallest thread carried more worlds than Nux could count.
Some branches were white-blue, bright and cold like newborn stars.
Some were gold, thick and ancient, moving slowly as if their history was too heavy.
Some were violet and pink, beautiful but unstable, shaking as if they were still deciding what shape they wanted to take.
Some were crimson, wild and violent, full of war, fire, and blood.
Some were silver, quiet and smooth, almost too perfect.
Some were dark, nearly black, where death and destruction ruled above all.
*Picture*
"What the hell is this...?"
Nux wondered out loud, the fact that he managed to speak confused him as well. He looked down and he realized he had a body of his own.
Well, not a body in a complete sense, he didn’t have a Physical Body, neither was it a Complete Soul.
It was... just scattered fragments of his thoughts that were given a shape in this place.
That in itself was something Nux couldn’t explain.
But right now—
His mind was too overwhelmed by the grand majesty of this place he was in to even think about his body, his soul, or whatever shape he was in.
He wanted to know.
He wanted to understand what this place was.
He wanted answers.
And—
"It’s the Multiverse."
He got the answer he was looking for.
Nux frowned.
There was someone here other than him?
He turned around and then—
His eyes fell on her.
A woman wearing a black hooded robe that seemed like it was made from literal stars. Beautiful golden patterns were designed on the robe, glowing softly, then fading and appearing again in different places.
And her face—
It was beautiful.
Ridiculously beautiful, almost... perfect in a way. She had pale skin, full lips but her eyes...
Her eyes were covered with a dark veil.
And the moment he saw her, Nux’s body trembled with unconcealed, uncontrollable rage.
"You..."
He glared at the woman who betrayed him.
Yes.
The woman in front of him was none other than the Seer.
And seeing him glaring at her like that—
The woman smiled—
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Nux Leander."
