BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM
Two of the strongest beings in the Universe clashed against each other, and the entire Universe felt the impact.
Of course, the Universe was constantly reinforcing the space and the void, making sure that the battle didn’t have too strong of an effect on its surroundings.
This obviously wasn’t the first battle between the Infinities. The Universe had seen quite a few, hell, it had experienced a full-blown war between all five Infinities back in the day.
So yes, the Universe knew how it was supposed to prepare for war, how to keep the damage to a minimum and how to survive, it just…
Didn’t wish to spend the resources it needed to spend to do that.
Not when there was another being that had been constantly devouring its resources all this while. Not that it had any choice. The battle had barely started and the amount of destruction made it clear that reinforcing was absolutely necessary.
Explosion after explosion, even the worlds that weren’t directly related to the battle, the worlds that were far, far away from it, were being affected by it and were shaking constantly. If the level of damage was spreading this far, then by the end of the battle, trillions of worlds would perish and the Universe couldn’t allow that.
So yes, it had to spend resources, no matter how much it cried.
And it wasn’t just the Universe’s Will that was being affected, the rest of the worlds, the worlds that weren’t participating, were the same. With the Universe’s reinforcements, there was only minimal shaking in their worlds that caused next to no destruction.
But…
Destruction wasn’t what worried them.
It was the knowledge.
Every single being in the Universe heard Seraphielle’s words, they knew what was happening, they knew two Infinities and their factions were now at war.
And this war…
This might engulf the entire Universe, even the unrelated worlds.
Words began to spread.
“They must participate in the war as well.”
“Darkness’s army will be coming here soon, those who refuse to join them will be killed that instant so that Light doesn’t get to them.”
“This is all Anomaly’s plan, the Universe cannot resist the Anomaly, this is the end of the Universe.”
And with these words, fear grew. Even the world leaders weren’t exceptions, they too were being consumed by their fear, even if they tried to hide it.
These were the worlds that weren’t involved in the battle, as for those who were…
They had it even worse.
Light Worlds had attacked many important Darkness Worlds, many Darkness Worlds had already fallen, some had survived, some less important worlds weren’t attacked at all.
These worlds, craving more violence and destruction, instead of defending their allies, rushed and attacked the Light Worlds instead.
And soon, the fact that the Light Worlds were completely defenseless was revealed. Light had put everything into the attack, so these worlds had almost free rein to attack wherever they wanted.
Yes, worlds in the Darkness Faction were falling, but Light Worlds had started falling as well. With no one defending them, destroying them was only a matter of time.
Every once in a while, however, they encountered worlds that were much more than defended, they had Light Borns defending the place and these Light Borns…
They only had one mission, to eradicate the entire army that came to them.
Yes, Seraphielle had even considered what she was supposed to do with the rogue Darkness Worlds that decided to attack the undefended Light Worlds.
As for the Darkness worlds that moved to defend instead of attacking, their situation wasn’t any better either.
By the time they appeared to help, the enemy had already won, and since the enemy had the advantage in strength and weapons, the Darkness reinforcements were essentially facing a complete army that was prepared and… wasn’t even tired.
All of the Darkness Worlds, except for the Supreme World of Darkness, had a strong disadvantage in this war.
Within just hours since the battle began—
About sixty Darkness Worlds, out of which fifty-two were High Level Worlds, had fallen.
Yes, fifty-two High Level Worlds.
And these weren’t just any random worlds, these were worlds that were considered to be the pillars of the Darkness Faction.
The amount of destruction and loss the Darkness Faction had to deal with after their disappearance was already reaching the amount of damage the Light Faction suffered after the Anomaly attacked them for years.
And this was only the few hours since the battle began.
…
On the other side, far, far away from all this death and destruction, so far that even the shockwaves of the war didn’t reach here, a being watched it all happen with his distant, golden eyes.
’It really happened.’
That being then heard a voice in his head and he smiled.
“Right? I didn’t think it would actually happen either.”
Nux laughed, looking at everything with amusement.
’When Father said he would be able to provoke a reaction, I did not think it would be… this.’
Aeliana muttered, she, along with all the other women, was locked inside Nux’s Universe.
Yes, the moment Nux heard about the war, he prohibited all the women from leaving his Universe. It was too dangerous outside, the chaos and unpredictability were at their peak.
Anything could happen right now, and he needed to prepare as such.
“I didn’t think of it either.”
Nux nodded.
He had expected a war to break out at some point, this was the entire reason he was doing all this in the first place, but he still didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
’Lord Azriel was an Infinity too, he knows the extent of their arrogance, he understands that well, using it against them shouldn’t be difficult for him.’
Vyriana commented.
But then—
’It wasn’t just Lord Azriel.
Light’s attack was too well planned for it to all be just a spur-of-the-moment thought, the weapons were distributed, the strategy was clear.
She was already planning on waging a war, even if Lord Azriel hadn’t done anything. Lord Azriel’s words might have pushed that ahead.’
Amaya spoke as well and once again, Nux nodded in agreement.
He could see it as well, Seraphielle had planned it well.
’But to think she was preparing for war and we didn’t even know of it. That is… unnerving.’
Riona seemed concerned.
’She had that leverage. With constant memory scans, it became impossible to keep an eye on Light Worlds and their movements.
It was the same for other factions too, memory scans and the Light lockdown removed any possibility of them being able to get any information regarding the Light Worlds.
Plus Seraphielle made it all look so natural that it was almost impossible to understand what she was planning.
We could go and control one being in one world every single month before he was caught, but that would only make our movements more predictable.
We cannot take that risk.’
Amaya explained and Riona only nodded at those words. She understood that as well, but it still felt… strange.
A being as strong as Seraphielle being able to hide information to such an extent…
Riona wasn’t saying Seraphielle should be stupid, she was a being older than time itself, she was bound to be wise but…
She was also one of the strongest beings in the Universe, a being almost no other being could even dare to challenge, that should come with… some level of carelessness, should it not?
’It doesn’t matter.’
Suddenly, Astaria spoke up.
’What matters is that war has begun.
What we wanted happened.
Now, it’s time for us to move.’
Then she snorted inwardly and corrected herself.
’It’s time for you to move.’
She spoke begrudgingly, talking to Nux. Well, more than a conversation, it was a complaint. She wanted to join in the fun as well.
But Astaria also realized that it wasn’t the right time,
Not now.
She thought inwardly as she looked down and stared at her large, stretched belly. A belly that now had a complete life inside it, a life that could come out any moment now.
Yes.
It was finally happening.
And not just Astaria, every single woman was in their last days and Allura, she was the closest.
New family members could join them at any moment and because it was such a crucial moment, Nux too did not wish to waste even a single moment.
At this moment, he wanted to stay with his wives, honestly, he wouldn’t even have left the Universe if this wasn’t the ideal time to do what he wanted.
But whatever.
In the end, Nux shook his head.
Since he had to be here, he decided to make it quick.
And for that—
For the first time in his entire life,
He was going to use… that.
The moment Nux thought about it, the air around him became heavier, his long black hair began flowing, making him look like a lone King who ruled over the void.
And he—
He tapped into his Dragon Blood.
