"MmmmpPPPp!!! MmmMMmppPPP!!!"
A man struggled to move, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. Even using his body proved to be difficult.
'So... why him...?'
Riona, who had returned to Nux's Shadow, questioned.
Just when she thought she could get one over others, Felberta, who was watching everything from Nux's Shadow, coughed loudly, making sure both Nux and she could hear her.
It was a new form of communication, somewhat similar to the connection the Harem Seal provided them. This one, however, was much more stable since it came from their very universe.
This connection worked even when they were in different worlds or even universes. Till now, Nux and the women had never noticed anything that could sever this connection and hinder their conversation, unlike the Harem Seal connection, which failed even if they were in different dimensions, let alone worlds. In those instances, they were forced to use different types of communication artifacts.
The only problem was that the women who were still connected to the main Universe disliked it whenever they used this connection since they felt left out, so Nux didn't use it most of the time. Felberta, however, couldn't let Riona use this opportunity. She had no choice but to intervene. After all, if the two started, it might go on for months, and right now, they had a mission to complete. In the end, albeit unwilling, Riona and Nux had to stop. Riona then returned to Nux's Universe. It was now time to complete the famed Black Missions.
Nux, who was about to leave Nexus, suddenly grabbed a Sovereign-level lowlife who was trying to force himself on a weaker woman, almost ready to rape her, and took him to the Comsocraft with him.
This made Riona question his decision.
After all, Nux wasn't a warrior of justice. There were too many such instances all over Nexus. As a Mercenary World, the laws there were much less restricting than in a normal world.
As long as you did not cause a big commotion, most of the time, no actions would be taken against you. Crimes were commonplace, and Nux wouldn't just go around saving people like a messiah or something. Even if he wanted to take action, he would just kill the guy instead of bothering to capture him.
Nux, who was sitting inside the spaceship he had 'borrowed' from a 'friend; with his eyes closed, suddenly waved his hand. The man he had captured passed out.
"I need him to activate Umbrasol's defense reaction," he replied.
'Right... Umbrasol wouldn't be able to sense us...
Riona realized.
She didn't ask why Nux didn't use that chance to his advantage.
She already knew the answer.
If Nux entered the place and the defense mechanism didn't activate, sure, reaching the Core would
be easier, and they would face almost no resistance. However, the moment he started devouring the World, it would sense him, and all the Wraiths would form in an instant and attack him.
They would need to face the Wraiths anyway, so it was better to do it at the start.
'It will also help shift the blame on him!
Suddenly, Amaya, who had been silent this whole time, spoke as well.
'Shift the blame?'
Riona frowned.
Soon, however, she realized it.
'You want to put the blame of devouring a High-Level World on this poor soul? Do you think the Universe would believe him?'
The Universe could not sense Nux or anyone who was not connected to it. Usually, it put the blame for a world's disappearance on the person who was last seen in that world and would attack him.
This was the reason Nux's wives were attacked last time.
"The Universe isn't exactly an intelligent being, it's more like a weak consciousness. It won't see that he has no ability to devour a High-Level World. It would just see that he was the last person seen in Umbrasol, and he will be attacked!
Amaya shrugged.
