Chapter 2095: Do not think your end will be dignified.

“NO!!”

The moment Nux opened his Universe’s Gate through his shadow, Zarveth, the Eternity, extended his hand forward, trying to stop him, while his eyes were wide in disbelief.

This was the first time he reacted this way since he appeared—his composed face, one that made it seem like everything was under his absolute control, could no longer be seen.

It was a reaction that surprised even Neremoth, who had known Zarveth for millions of years and had never seen him react in such a manner. Neremoth, however, did not let this surprise get to him. Rather, he had a big grin on his face when he glanced at Nux’s shadow.

Neremoth was a millions-of-years-old veteran; a single gaze was all it took for him to understand that this was his moment. He could sense that whatever ability the Anomaly had used, wherever he was going, he could follow him—and Zarveth could not.

He could have the Anomaly all to himself.

And before Zarveth could stop him, Neremoth moved, dashing toward Nux’s lingering shadow.

Zarveth tried to stop him; however, with the head start Neremoth had, it was impossible for him to catch up, especially when Zarveth was faster than him only if no Relics were being used.

In Zarveth’s despair, both Neremoth and the Anomaly disappeared. The only one he could now see in front of him was the woman with Power over Chaos.

And in that instant…

Zarveth’s despair, his shock, his sense of loss… it all turned into anger.

For the first time in a long, long while, a Supreme Born—an Eternal Level Supreme Born—was angry.

And the one facing all this anger was…

Sharnoth.

“…Where are they?”

Zarveth questioned. His voice was low, but Sharnoth could feel his intense anger in those words.

And she…

“What makes you think I will tell you?”

She grinned demonically, her crimson eyes shining in disdain. It almost looked like she was the villain here.

After all, this was the same woman who had led a World of the Faction of Darkness. The number of beings she had killed probably surpassed most of the people in the Universe.

By no means was she merely a side character who would sacrifice herself just to be forgotten later.

She was planning to crush this arrogant being in front of her. Not just him, she was planning to crush his overly inflated ego. She wanted to change the look on his face. She wanted to make him know—Supreme Born or not—in front of her, he could only cower on his knees.

That was what it meant to be Sharnoth Nocthys, the Princess who rose from Chains.

“You…”

Hearing her words, Zarveth’s face twitched.

“You do not cherish your life, do you?”

He questioned, his hollow eyes staring directly at her, radiating anger he had never felt before.

“Those are some bold words for someone so small.”

Sharnoth grinned again.

“Small…?”

“Is that not what you are? You used all these fancy tricks you have, yet you still failed to capture a mere Primordial.

What makes you think you can actually do something against me?

You must be an entertainer in the society of Supremes.”

“Entertainer…?”

Eternity’s face twitched even further. Nobody had ever talked to him like this in the billions of years he had been alive. Sharnoth’s mere existence was making him feel emotions he didn’t even know he was capable of feeling.

However, this did not mean he let his anger get the better of him. He was better than that. He knew such strong emotions would only cloud his decision. It was much better to direct this anger into getting what he wanted.

And what he wanted was to get to the Anomaly.

Zarveth clenched his staff. From this conversation, he could tell that this woman might know where the Anomaly was. There was still hope—as long as he captured her alive, extracting this information would not be impossible.

“Do not think your end will be dignified.”

He warned. In his mind, he was already preparing his worst. He would make it so the woman wouldn’t even be left in a state where she could beg for death.

He would rip apart whatever dignity and arrogance she had. He would… turn her very soul into something miserable.

For a moment, Sharnoth’s expression faltered—she could feel just how absurdly strong her enemy truly was—but seeing his reaction, she knew her plan had succeeded.

She knew whatever Nux was doing needed time. She had seen how he was trying to buy time the entire time.

The last thing they wanted was for Zarveth to report everything that happened here to the Infinities.

Because Zarveth wanted the Anomaly all to himself, he had made it so that nothing that happened here was leaked outside.

He even killed his own subordinates to ensure that and sealed the space so no external eyes could observe them. Because of all that, it still wasn’t known that the Chain Breakers were related to the Anomaly, and it was something Sharnoth felt could be used in the future.

Now all she needed to do was to keep Zarveth’s focus on her.

She wanted to give him a ‘hope’.

Hope that she knew where the Anomaly was, and if he managed to capture her, he could still get his hands on the Anomaly through her.

As for whether it was true or not…

Well, even though she knew Nux went to his ‘Universe’, she had absolutely no clue where it was or how to get there.

So even if she does get captured, Zarveth would get absolutely nothing out of it.

The ‘hope’ she gave him was an empty one from the very beginning.

And now what Sharnoth needed to do right now was to keep this hope alive for as long as possible and buy Nux the time he needs.

As for her?

Well, she was obviously planning on coming out alive.

She was going to crush this bastard through and through.

“See, this is the difference between us.

I do not care about your End.

I would simply end you in an instant because that is all you mean to me—

Nothing.”

Sharnoth shrugged with a disdainful laugh, and in that instant, Zarveth made a move.

The ‘Battle’ had begun.

BOOOOOOOM

…

While Sharnoth and Zarveth were up against each other in the Main Universe, back in Nux’s Universe, the instant Nux appeared, his connection with his wives—which he had closed off just to be sure that they did not get involved with this in any way—was restored.

“NUX!!”

They shouted in unison as they tried to rush toward him.

Nux, however, waved his hand and teleported them to a different place—and no, he did not use the Law of Space to do it. In here, he used his Will.

“Stay there.”

He spoke, and just as he willed it, his voice was only heard by his wives, who were now inside a hidden world that could only be seen by Nux.

“Nux, what happened?”

Shadow questioned, using the same authority as Nux to talk to him.

“Enemy is coming.”

Nux warned, and Shadow…

“In here…?”

She just blinked.

“What was the poor soul thinking?”

She questioned in a pitiful tone.

It wasn’t just her—the rest of the women, especially Skyla and Evane, started pitying the enemy as well.

Entering Nux’s Universe to fight him was a one-way ticket to absolute humiliation. It would simply trigger Nux’s sadistic tendencies—he would play with the enemy until the poor soul lost his mind.

However…

‘Nux, what happened…?’

Allura questioned, narrowing her eyes when she noticed his tone.

Nux had currently restricted them from sensing his emotions, and while he usually did that to keep a surprise factor and the spark in their relationship alive, this felt different.

His tone was too serious.

‘Where is Sharnoth?’

Allura questioned, and once again, Nux stayed silent. And his silence was all the answer the women needed.

Their expressions changed—they could tell that Nux was in no mood to ‘play around’ right now.

Sharnoth was still outside.

What’s worse?

Because there was no one outside to act as their eyes, they could not tell what was happening there, and this only made them worry even more.

Right now, all his focus was on assimilating the Laws he had just devoured. Yes, he had already started comprehending them and was already done with a few, but then—

He appeared.

Darkness was here.

“Huh…? Where are we…?”

He questioned with a frown on his face.

He looked around, confused. The place looked like a corner of a Universe; the surroundings resembled the Outer Space, but there were no asteroids.

Not just that, he also noticed a few other strange things—

A strange-looking colorful river flowing in the air,

A tree that seemed to be holding a large world,

A lotus hovering above it.

Hundreds of different-sized Stars all over the place.

Just…

Just what is this place…?
