I do not plan to kill you.

Nux spoke as he glanced at the Eternals.

Of course, considering what he had just done a minute ago, his words werent very convincingespecially when the Eternals had tried to attack Nux just like Varana did.

But…

The Eternals did not have a choice either.

The enemy was strong, much, much stronger than what they were expecting and…

All their communication channels had failed. They tried again and again, but they failed to communicate with anyone outside of this… place.

Even the Artifacts given to them by the Supreme Borns werent working, so hoping that reinforcements would arrive for their sake was a foolish hope as well.

In the end, there were only two paths ahead of them.

Either follow this mans words or…

Die, possibly in a way even more brutal than Varana.

The Eternals stared at each other, communicating with their eyes. It was clear that every single one of them wanted the same thing, so finally, one of thema Luminaristepped forward and

What do you want?

She questioned.

Yes, the Eternals had decided to live.

After all, if they played their cards right, they might learn more about this place they were in, a way to leave and contact the outside world, and somehow come out of this situation alive.

Absolute loyalty.

Nux answered the Luminaris question. The womans eyes flickered at those words.

Absolute loyalty? Loyalty for what?

I want you to submit to me.

That is the only way you live.

But we have submitted to the Supreme World of Light.

The woman answered.

Is your loyalty to the Supreme World of Light stronger than your will to live?

Nux asked.

It was a direct threatsomething that made the woman somewhat uncomfortable, not because she was threatened, but because she saw how… unbothered this man was when she mentioned the Supreme World of Light.

No matter what, the Supreme World of Light was… a Supreme Worldone of the strongest worlds in the Universe, an absolute power that no being could go against.

Even the entities from other Supreme Worlds hesitated a little when she mentioned the Supreme World of Light in front of them, but…

A reaction like this was…

It was the first time she had seen something like this.

You didnt answer my question.

Nux commented.

The woman flinched at those words. She stared ahead, at the place where Nux should be, but her instincts screamed in terror when she didnt see him there.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on top of her head, and in that very instant, all thoughts of resistance, loyalty, and thinking of a way to get out of this situation went out of her head and

It is not! It is not!

She shouted, her eyes wide in horror as she stared at Nux, whose hand was on top of her head. Her quickened breathing showed just what the woman felt in that little instant.

Impressed by her quick reaction and ability to adapt, Nux nodded to himself, satisfied.

Then are you ready to submit?

I am.

The woman nodded, she made sure her eyes showed absolutely no hesitation.

Nux nodded again, then he turned towards the rest and

What about the rest of you?

We… we are willing to submit as well.

One Seraphkin spoke, and the rest of the Eternals nodded behind him.

Good.

Nux praised as suddenly, a foreign, dark mist came out of his hand and quickly surrounded the Luminaris body.

The Luminari panicked, not knowing what she was supposed to do here, but then

Calm down.

As I said, I do not plan to kill you.

Nuxs words calmed her.

Even though the black mist felt threatening, something that might rewrite her very existence as she knew it, she… she stayed calm, just like Nux told her to.

She had no clue why the words of someone she met not long ago had such a strong effect on her. With some hesitation, she stared at Nuxs face and this time…

Something in her changed.

…Submitting to him might not be the worst thing that happened to her.

With that thought in her mind, the woman closed her eyes, showing her complete submission.

Yes, she wasnt just submitting out of fear alone.

With that, the black mist completely surrounded the womans body, and when it disappeared, it took the woman with it.

Seeing the womans sudden disappearance, the rest of the Eternals widened their eyes, panicking a little.

Dont worry, I have just sent her to another dimension. A place you all will be going as well.

Nux spoke. His words made the rest of the Eternals tense.

They obviously had doubts in their headswhat if he was lying? What if they werent going to another dimension but being erased from existence itself?

After all, none of them sensed the Space Laws being activated. How could this man connect them to another dimension without using the Space Laws?

Of course, all these questions were just thatquestions.

None of them dared to say them out loud.

Nux slowly walked towards them, and one by one, he continued devouring the Eternals until finally, he appeared in front of the unconscious Silvaris, whom Sharnothwho had returned to her normal appearancewas holding using her energy, and he devoured him as well.

Fourteen Eternals. It sure was a plentiful harvest.

Sharnoth commented with a smile.

You returned to normal.

Nux tilted his head, a little confused, and Sharnoth shrugged.

She said she was bored since there was no one to play with, so she let me have the control.

Sharnoth answered.

So you can now actively communicate with her, huh?

Nux raised his eyebrow, he did not think it would happen this quickly.

Not all the time.

Sharnoth shook her head.

But yes, we can now switch when we wish, of course, that is if one is willing to give the control to the other.

For now, we have decided that she will do all the fights, while I take care of the rest.

So she is leaving all the boring stuff to you.

Nux laughed.

That is something she would do.

Indeed.

Sharnoth chuckled as well.

But I do believe that it is the best arrangement for us. I would rather have her fight and have fun than… talk.

Hahaha

Nux laughed at those words and nodded.

Indeed, indeed.
