Chapter 1754 No way, have I surpassed him?
"You are awake."
Shadow called out in a joyful tone.
Nux, who just opened his eyes, was greeted by his wives who had surrounded him.
"How long?" he questioned directly.
"148 years."
Amaya replied, knowing exactly what Nux was talking about.
"That was much shorter than I expected."
Nux was surprised.
"I guess reforming your brain did help, huh."
Riona muttered.
Nux, however, just smiled wryly.
He could sense it.
He still hadn't absorbed everything Umbrasol had to offer.
There was too much information that his mind had just skipped simply because it was unable to retain it.
If he wanted to absorb all that knowledge…
'I probably need to reform my brain again…'
Nux's eyes fell on a giant world inside Universe. A world much larger than the two worlds he had before combined.
'Should I…?'
He thought about it.
"You can do that, yes."
Amaya nodded.
She could tell what Nux was thinking about.
"I didn't think you would agree."
Nux was taken aback.
"It is not like you are going to listen."
Amaya shrugged.
Ever since the Universe targeted Lane, Nux had long stopped playing it safe. If there was anything that could benefit him in any way, he would do it even if it was risky.
Nux smiled at her answer.
"But before you do anything, you should go and take a look outside."
"Hmm?"
Nux frowned in confusion.
Amaya didn't say anything else, waiting for Nux to see things on his own. Nux groaned, then, he stood up.
Or at least he tried to.
His right hand pressed against the ground for support, but instead of steadying him, it sank into the earth as though the solid stone beneath him were nothing more than wet clay. Weblike cracks spread on the ground with him at its center.
"Huh…?"
Nux blinked in surprise and stared at his hand buried wrist-deep into the stone.
"Just as I thought…"
Vyriana, who saw this scene, narrowed her eyes. As someone whose Law strengthened her physical power, this scene... stirred something inside of her.
Of course, the ground wasn't weak; it was solid rock, enforced with the Power of Genesis. Yet, Nux's casual push had… obliterated it.
"What the hell...?"
Nux muttered.
He pulled his hand free, bits of stone and dust falling from his fingers.
He tried again, this time, he was much gentler, carefully placing his hands on the ground to lift himself. Despite his caution, the earth cracked under his touch, his fingers sinking slightly as though he were pressing against butter.
But in the end, with the help of [Absolute Step] and [Absolute Kinesis], he managed to stand up.
Nux then stared at his hands, then, he glanced at his own body.
His body, which was already honed to near-perfection, now seemed... otherworldly.
Every muscle in his body thrummed with power, ready to explode at the slightest movement. Even his breathing felt heavy; it was as if every exhale had the power to topple mountains.
Nux gulped.
"I fucked up, huh…"
Nux then clenched his fists to test something out and immediately, he heard the faint sound of the air cracking around his grip.
Bzzzz
"This…"
Nux gulped.
"I fucked up, huh…"
He realized.
He had underestimated what the 'Strength of a World' meant.
'Setting the strength I gained from a Lowest Level World as a standard was a mistake.' NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Nux, who, from the vision he just saw, understood just how big the difference between a Lowest Level World and a High Level World was, now understood how foolish of a mistake it was.
Lowest Level World and High Level Worlds were leagues different.
So much that if he had to put it in numbers then…
If a Lowest Level World had the Power Level of 2,
Then a Low Level World would be 4,
A Middle Level World would be 16,
And a High Level World would be… 256.
What it meant was that a High Level World was around 128 times stronger than a Lowest Level World.
And no, it didn't just mean that devouring 128 Lowest Level Worlds would be the same as devouring a High Level World. Nux's strength when he devoured two Lowest Level Worlds wasn't 4 because he devoured two of them; that is simply not how it worked.
If he wanted to quantify it, then maybe his strength was 2.5, a little stronger than a Lowest Level World, but nowhere near the level of a Low Level World.
Even if he continued to devour more Lowest Level Worlds, the returns would be more and more diminishing: 2.7, 2.8, 2.85…
Continuously devouring Lowest Level Worlds to reach the strength level of a Low Level World was…
Extremely impractical, if not outright impossible.
And that was just the case for a Low Level World, but a High Level World…?
That was an entirely different theory.
What Nux did know right now, however, was that currently, using the previous scale, his Power Level now was 256.
Yes, he was more than a hundred times stronger than what he was before, and this is why he was having such a hard time controlling himself.
In the end, Nux tried to step forward, but the moment he placed his foot on the ground, it sunk in.
He was forced to use [Absolute Step] and stand on the air, but that didn't solve all his problems either.
His body was a mess, it was as if his entire body had ascended beyond mortal comprehension. Every step, every motion carried a weight that felt almost limitless.
He was no longer bound by the physical laws he had once known.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that his physical body was now that of a God.
Wanting to test himself further, he extended a hand toward a boulder in the distance. The moment he focused on it,
BOOM
The boulder shattered into dust, not because of a spell or an attack, but from the sheer intensity of his gaze and 'intent'.
It surprised even Nux himself.
"What in the hell is this…?
Wait,
Could that bald man with the cape do this?"
Nux's eyes suddenly widened.
"No way, have I surpassed him?"
He was in disbelief.
"I guess there is a limit to how far push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and running can take you."
In the end, Nux just shrugged.
