Chapter 2398: Should I... take my revenge...?
And it began.
Nux did not stop after two Universes.
How could he?
His Universe may be stable now, but his body was ridiculously weaker than before, so much that let alone an Infinity, even an Eternal could defeat him.
He needed to grow.
And to grow, he needed to devour more Worlds.
The good news, however, was that he no longer needed to rely on just one Universe to get the resources he needed.
No.
Now he had the entire Multiverse in front of him.
Quindecillions of Universes and more.
And Nux was fully planning to use this endless source of resources to his fullest advantage.
With that thought in his mind—
He moved.
He opened portals into other Universes, but this time, he was careful not to make the same mistake. He didn’t target hundreds of thousands of Worlds at the same time, he didn’t want other Universes self-destructing because of him, that would cause too much chaos in the Multiverse, chaos that even the Multiverse wouldn’t be able to handle.
So he changed his method.
From each Universe, he took only a little.
Ten worlds.
Twenty.
Fifty.
Sometimes even a hundred, if the Universe was large enough to survive the loss without shaking too much.
Never more.
He made sure that his attacks only made the Universe’s Will feel threatened, enraged, or filled it with hatred, but he never pushed it further into madness.
It was still something no normal being could even imagine—
But compared to the size of a Universe, it was... more like a cut than a beheading.
His armies moved fast.
The moment portals opened, the soldiers entered, took the preselected worlds, worlds Nux believed would probably make the particular Universe more liveable if they did not exist, worlds that usually housed the most corrupt but influential personalities in the Universe at that particular time.
Once the target was achieved, the soldiers retreated and the portal closed while the Universe rumbled in anger.
Then—
Nux opened another portal, to another Universe, soon however, he made a little change in his tactics, he stopped targeting the Universe when it was at its weakest, this was the time when the Universe was at its most vulnerable, the chances of it overreacting and choosing to self-destruct were the highest.
And since Infinities’ involvement never really mattered—
Nux basically started attacking at random times, only actively avoiding times when the Universe had a God.
And just like that—
Nux’s attacks continued.
Again.
And again.
And again.
His wives participated in the raids as well, every single one of them commanded a different Unit.
And as they attacked—
Nux’s body had been weakened to such an extreme degree after everything it had been through—
It started growing stronger again.
At first, it carried the strength of only a few worlds.
Then—
The number rose to two digits.
Then three.
Then four.
Until eventually—
It rose to millions.
Tens of millions.
Hundreds of millions.
Yes, near the very end, Nux’s physical body carried the strength of more than a few hundred million worlds.
He had become far, far, far stronger than the time he was facing the five Infinities in the so-called Main Universe.
At this point, even the word "durable" had become too weak.
His body was nearly indestructible.
After all, harming him was no different than trying to cut through hundreds of millions of worlds at once.
How many beings in the entire Multiverse could do that?
Nux didn’t know any.
And it wasn’t just his physical body that grew, after all, he still needed to make sure his Universe was strong enough to hold his existence.
So every resource he used on his body, greater resources were sent into his Universe.
His Universe became brighter, denser and far stronger. Trillions of worlds now existed within it, he prepared a few for his people to deal with the problem of overcrowding, some were left aside for his children, but most of them became Stars.
Worlds that had but one purpose, to act as engines of power, to give Nux a nearly endless amount of Energy.
And with that—
The instability faded.
The... ’cracks’ in his Universe closed.
The moment where it felt like the Universe might collapse any time now seemed distant.
But Nux’s greed didn’t rest there.
The stronger he got, the more difficult to defeat he became, the greedier he became. Now he no longer cared about just his Physical Body or the amount of Energy stored inside his Universe.
Now—
He started targeting Quality of Energy and Knowledge.
The Multiverse was absurdly large.
So large that the Five Infinities he knew—
Infinity Of Light.
Infinity Of Darkness.
Infinity Of Balance.
Infinity Of Chaos.
Infinity Of Eternity.
These weren’t the only Infinities in existence.
In branch Universes where these Infinities killed each other, new Infinities were born.
Infinity of Time.
Infinity Of Space.
Infinity Of Creation.
Infinity Of Destruction.
Infinity Of Life.
Infinity Of Death.
Infinities of Laws that the Universe he was originally from had never produced.
These were the beings who ruled their Universes as Absolutes, beings who were worshiped as Gods of their realities, beings who had never known defeat—
That was until Nux appeared and...
Overpowered them like they were mere Ants.
But—
Nux did not devour them.
He did not wish to remove Infinity-Level Beings from the Multiverse, so he simply defeated them, read their memories, and learned what they knew.
He saw how the Infinity of Time understood Time.
He saw how the Infinity of Space understood Space.
He saw how the Infinity of Death understood Death.
He saw how the Infinity of Life understood Life.
He saw how the Infinity of Creation understood Creation.
He saw how the Infinity of Destruction understood Destruction.
Yes—
He raised his understanding of ALL ten Primordial Energies to the Level of Infinities.
And with that—
As his understanding of Energies, as his understanding of the Universes, his understanding of the Multiverse—
His understanding of the very System improved.
His understanding of how to Escape this System followed.
His Law of Anomaly changed as well.
It had already gotten much, much, much stronger after spending an unknown amount of years in the Multiverse, but now—
It was Complete.
He understood that the Law of Anomaly wasn’t just the power outside of rules, it was the authority to move where rules ended.
To act where logic failed.
To exist where existence had no answer.
To make the impossible not just happen—
But become natural after it happened.
That was Nux Leander.
The very definition of impossibility.
A being even the Multiverse had no proper word for.
A Universe that could walk into other Universes.
A body made from hundreds of millions of worlds.
A foundation supported by trillions of world-stars.
A mind carrying Infinity-level understanding of all Primordial Energies.
A being with complete understanding of Impossibility.
And as this being stood in his own Universe, looking at his own hands, feeling the strength of hundreds of millions of worlds in his body, he looked at the endless Multiverse in front of him—
Then at his wives—
Who he had sent to sleep because he knew it would have taken a long time.
"Should I... take my revenge...?"
He asked.
