Chapter 1900: That was painful, you know?
"Haaaahh… Haaaahhh… Haaahhh…"
Nux, whose body materialized next to Amaya, took deep breaths. There were no injuries on his body, he didn't feel any pain, and he was in perfect condition.
However,
His mind was still hazy.
It still hadn't recovered from what he had been through.
"Nux…?"
Amaya called out. In an instant, her face was filled with worry.
While the rest of the women were still talking, after Nux destroyed the Five Middle-Level Worlds, she returned to Nux's Universe to cultivate again.
Yes, the Devourer was very serious and wanted to break through to the Primordial Stage as soon as possible. After all, the Dragon had already broken through, not to mention that new Vampire bitch was clearly eyeing her position as well.
To deal with them all, she needed to get stronger.
Yes, there was no way she would allow any bitch near HER husband.
Therefore, she was giving her all and was sparing no effort.
However, the instant Nux appeared in front of her in this condition, her expression changed, and she quickly went to him.
"Nux, are you alright?"
She questioned.
"That… that was painful."
Nux spoke, his voice heavy.
"Painful…?"
Shadow narrowed her eyes.

Nux couldn't put what he felt into words.
For others, it was barely a few seconds, or maybe even less than that, but for him…
It was a long, long time.
This was the first time he truly understood… Nothingness.
It was unlike anything he had experienced before. No battle, no injury, no death could compare to this.
It felt like it was… his end.
He was in a place where light, sound, time, space, gravity, life, death, or any other concept—everything warped, stretched, and collapsed, all at the same time.
Nux's body was pulled, twisted, elongated, stretched, and compressed infinitely in all directions.
His arms, his legs, his bones, his muscles—everything tore apart and reformed in the same instant.
It was an experience so agonizing that even someone like Nux felt like screaming, but…
No sound came out.
His thoughts scattered, his memories played in reverse, fast-forwarded, and looped back to moments he had long forgotten.
A crushing weight pressed against his very soul.
It was as if some force was unraveling his body, stripping him layer by layer until he could no longer tell if he was whole or fragmented.
His consciousness flickered, then dimmed.
It wasn't like being trapped, or wounded, or even dying.
This was… Erasure.
An end so absolute it defied reason.
He was devoured by a force that didn't care about who he was, what he had done, or what he could become.
Everything—his accomplishments, his power, his universe, his existence—it all felt…
Meaningless.
And while he was in this state, Nux's highly active mind finally comprehended it.
A concept that no one else in this entire universe could comprehend.
One of the strongest Primordial Concepts.
Space.
And no, it wasn't the half-bit Absolute Space that Faelara or other Foxkins had comprehended.
It was a Complete Law.
The Law of Absolute Space.
A Law that couldn't be comprehended without being devoured by Space itself.
A Law one could only comprehend during the final moments of his life.
A Law that no living being should have power over.
But…
Nux Leander broke this rule.
He was devoured by Space itself, understood the concept of True Space during his death, and…
Returned.
"It was painful indeed…"
Nux spoke. His mind needed rest.
Yes, even his mind, which was broken and recreated until it was strong enough to store a world's worth of information without losing anything, needed rest.
But…
He wasn't done yet.
Nux stood up. His body momentarily lost balance, but Amaya was there to catch him. Nux chuckled when he saw his lovely wife standing next to him. Unable to control himself, he weakly sealed her lips.
Amaya smiled and brought her lips even closer to him, letting him take advantage of her body, and of course, Nux didn't hold back either.
Since the meal had presented itself, it would be a sin not to taste it.
Slowly, he savored the pair of lips that were presented to him. His movements were still weak, but Amaya didn't complain.
Her body squirmed. Even his slower-than-usual movements had a certain charm to them. The Devourer simply pressed her body even closer to Nux, wanting to be one with him.
Shadow, who stared at the Devourer shamelessly hogging the spot, stayed silent.
Nux seemed tired, so she decided not to butt in. Right now, however, Nux's greed was extremely unstable.
Suddenly, Shadow was teleported right into Nux's arms without her permission, and before she could even understand what happened,
Her lips were sealed as well.
Her line of thought broke down, her body melted in his arms.
Nux cuddled with his lovely wives for the next few minutes, and only then did his mind finally calm down.
"Mnh~"
Biting Shadow's lip one last time, Nux distanced himself from the two women and smiled.
"I'll be back soon."
"I'll be waiting~"
"Can't wait~"
The two women nodded before they turned towards each other and dangerously narrowed their eyes.
Yes, the two were prepared to fight it out.
Nux chuckled at the adorable scene in front of him. Then, he sensed Faelara's energy and teleported next to her with a mere thought.
Something that shouldn't be possible normally, since one would first need to understand where the woman was, know the exact place he needed to be, and calculate the energy required to move there.
But…
These were the limits of normal Laws or abilities.
For a being who understood True Space,
These things didn't matter anymore.
With just a thought, he could appear anywhere he wished to, with no restrictions whatsoever.
"That was painful, you know?"
Nux spoke as he stared at the beautiful woman drifting in front of him.
"!!!"
The moment she heard his voice, Faelara widened her eyes in horror.
"H-H-How…"
She couldn't even form words without stuttering because of how exhausted she was.
Her exhaustion, however, was the least of her worries.
