Chapter 1753 Umbrasol's Past 4
Chapter 1753 Umbrasol's Past 4
These people...
They had no memories of what happened here...
Not just that, Nux felt like these people don't even remember that they all just woke up.
Yes, Nux could understand that that entity erased their memories, however, as someone who had manipulated memories using Slave Seal before, he knew that memory manipulation has a flaw.
Just like in this case, all beings in Umbrasol woke up; even if they did wake up at the same time and didn't see others around them had passed out, just the fact that they 'woke up' but don't remember sleeping should have given them enough hints. Especially for beings as intelligent as them, they should have considered the possibility of being attacked by a foreign entity, but none of them brought it up.
It was as if...
Even now, their mind was being manipulated.
And Nux, who could see the energy flow, had no clue how that was possible since he wasn't seeing any suspicious energy flow that could be related to the Progenitors' odd behavior.
'Is this what dealing with an Infinity Level being is like?"
Nux thought inwardly. Even though he could see the very essence of the world right now, he still couldn't understand what that entity did.
In the end, Nux could only shake his head in defeat and continued to observe. The Progenitors tried everything. While one of them suppressed the Death Energy leaking out of the Necrocore to protect their children, the rest tried all the plans they had come up with.
Repairing it, sealing the Death Energy coming out of it failed. Using other materials to store a little amount of Death Energy to buy some time failed as well.
The Death Energy being released was simply too much.
In the end, the Progenitors were forced to follow through with a plan they knew had low chances of working out.
Yes, they were going to form a second Necrocore.
These beings did think of abandoning Umbrasol. At the level they were at, it wasn't difficult for them to take over some weaker world and continue their lives. Even joining another strong world wasn't impossible.
They could even join a Supreme World and become part of the Ultimate Force in the Universe. However, all those thoughts were crushed when they realized the Death
Energy that had leaked had surrounded them.
Yes, a weakened version of Reaper's Veil had already formed.
Nux could also see Deathstorms materializing. Of course, at first, there were only a few of them.
However, these Deathstorms were no different than harbingers of death itself. Sure, they weren't at their strongest since other Primordial Energies hadn't gathered, but Nux could already see those energies slowly strengthening.
Anyways, the Deathstorms started doing what they were feared for. Umbrasol's weaker inhabitants had no way to resist and were quickly devoured.
The stronger ones could still avoid them, but with Death Energy getting stronger and stronger, it was only a matter of time before they fell.
Honestly, right now, the Progenitors could still leave, but they knew if they did, all their children would die.
Therefore, they decided to resist.
The strongest Progenitor was told to leave just so he could spread the news of what happened here. The other Progenitors started preparations to create the second Necrocore.
The now weakest Progenitor stepped forward, willing to give up his life. The ritual's preparations started. However,
It was too slow.
The other Primordial Energies combined with the Primordial Energy of Death. The Deathstorms became much, much stronger than before. These beings, who could still somewhat resist Death Energy, stood no chance against the whirlpool of Primordial Energy of Destruction engulfing them.
Many perished. The only ones who managed to survive were the ones who were lucky and the Deathstorms didn't come their way.
Nux also glanced at the Reaper's Veil formed outside Umbrasol. It was getting darker and darker.
Nux could feel it. It was getting... complete.
And then suddenly,
Nux's vision ended.
'Huh...?'
Nux frowned.
"What...?
What just happened...?"
He was confused.
Nux knew that the vision he sees wasn't what actually happens to the world, but what was supposed to happen. This was the reason that he, who cannot be sensed by the Universe or the World, cannot be seen in this vision.
It was the same the last time as well.
The world he devoured was shown to be devoured by another being because that was how it was supposed to go if he didn't exist.
Umbrasol's vision's end should have been the same as well.
Instead of him coming here and destroying it, something else should have happened. Nux knew that already and was actually curious to see what was supposed to happen to
Umbrasol.
But...
Why did the vision end?
Umbrasol still wasn't destroyed yet. The vision only ends when the world is destroyed, then why...
Why did the vision end...?
Why did something that was supposed to happen when the world ends happen here...?
What was different about Umbrasol that wasn't the case with the other worlds he had devoured before...?
It was a High-Level World, yes. That was one thing, but Nux highly doubted that
mattered here.
In the end, on a fundamental level, no matter if it was the Lowest Level or a High Level,
both were the same.
Then what else...?
Suddenly,
Nux thought of something.
The Reaper's Veil.
The Veil capable of hiding Umbrasol from even the Universe's Vision, a Veil capable of
breaking the Laws of the Universe and keeping the souls of the dead in one place without letting the Universe devour it, a Veil capable of creating... anomalies.
Suddenly, Nux realized it.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It was the Veil.
He remembered the last thing he saw before the vision ended. It was the Reaper's Veil
that was close to being completed.
The Vision ended because the Reaper's Veil's formation was completed.'
And as Nux thought this far...
A realization dawned in.
"The Reaper's Veil broke my Vision..."
If the vision he sees when he devours a world is the predestined 'Tate' of that world, then
this Veil...
"The Veil was able to conceal the very Fate of the World...
Nux, who concluded this, could feel his body tremble. It was a big reveal, especially for someone like him, who needed this power to conceal quite a lot of things. After all, he had many secrets, and after seeing what he saw, he also knew that the
Universe was full of beings too powerful. He couldn't let his secrets be revealed, not before he had the power to protect himself and the people he loved.
'I need to understand how the Reaper's Veil works!'
Nux thought inwardly.
Then, he, who had now sorted his thoughts, decided to open his eyes.
After all, even if he didn't learn more about Umbrasol's 'End,
'I gained quite a bit.' Nux smiled.
Of course, if what he gained was revealed to the outside world,
They would try to kill him out of anger when they realize just how big of an understatement 'quite a bit' was.
