"Why?"
Archon asked, his stubborn pride finally snapping and turning into something worse.
Desperation.
"Why my world!? Why here!? Why now!? What did we do!?
We never once challenged you!
We never once said anything bad about you!!
Then why!?"
He asked, his helplessness turning into anger.
And Nux, who was walking towards him with that same calm, amusing smile on his face, suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked at Archon. For the first time since the beginning, it felt like he was looking at another living being and not a toy made solely for his amusement.
Nux then tilted his head, as if wondering whether all these questions deserved an answer. In the end, Nux just shrugged.
He had all the time in the world, so why not have a little conversation? After all, constantly reading memories to learn what the other person was thinking was... quite boring.
"Did you not hear what I said in my speech that day?"
He asked, then looked somewhat offended as he thought of another possibility.
"Did you even listen to my previous speech?
Do you have any idea how long I prepared that speech for?
Five minutes!
I spent five whole minutes!"
Nux raised his voice like a rebel trying to show his struggle to the rest of the world and Archon...
"..."
He stared at the man in front of him with an absurd look on his face, almost as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing was real.
Nux crossed his arms and looked away, still seemingly offended.
And for a moment, there was silence.
Nux did not speak because he did not want to, and Archon had no idea what he was supposed to do or say.
The thought of attacking this man didn’t even come to his mind because the difference between them was apparent in his mind now.
That arrogant thought where he believed he would defeat the Anomaly and gain recognition throughout the entire Universe had disappeared long, long while ago.
"I hate Light’s hypocrisy."
That was when Nux spoke.
"I hate how two-faced Light is."
"Then go to Light!"
Archon’s face twisted in anger and he snapped. He then pointed upward as if Lady Seraphielle could hear him through the void and—
"Face Lady Seraphielle if you have so much confidence!
Fight her!
Why are you targeting me!?
What would that do!?"
At those words, Nux’s expression changed. He now seemed more... determined.
"That day will come soon as well."
He answered confidently.
After all, he knew it was the truth.
He and the Infinities would go against each other; there was no other way out. He would do it for his unborn children and to ensure they grew in a stable environment.
Archon’s stomach sank at those words.
All his life, he had always saved himself from actual danger with the name of Light.
A being he couldn’t defeat?
That being wouldn’t attack him, fearing Light.
After all, an all-out war between High Level Worlds was a big matter; no one wanted to be the one to start it.
Archon could basically act as arrogantly as he wanted and there would be absolutely no consequences.
But today was different.
This was the first time someone did not back down or show even the slightest bit of hesitation when he mentioned Light or Lady Seraphielle.
This was... the first time someone said he would actually face Lady Seraphielle.
And the worst part?
He didn’t sound like a man making empty threats.
He... sounded like he was actually looking forward to the final battle.
A ridiculously arrogant and completely crazy bastard!
But even then—
He did not back down.
"What do you mean that day will come soon!?
You say you hate Light and its hypocrisy, but what do you do!?
You attack us instead!
What would that do!?
If you know you aren’t strong enough yet, then go train and then attack Light!
What’s the point of ruining the lives of trillions of people!?
Do you even know how many beings you have killed till now!?
How many families you have destroyed!? How many children have cried because of you!?
You say you hate Light! But don’t your actions make you even worse than Light!?
Why are you targeting us innocents!?"
He asked, raising his voice even further, feeling that this might work, but...
"Innocent?
You...?"
Nux raised his eyebrow.
"I serve the Light! I am not part of anything they did! I have been fulfilling my duties and keeping peace in my world my entire life!"
"And what are these ’duties’ you speak of?"
Nux asked, genuinely curious.
"We keep order! I keep peace! I keep my world from plunging into darkness!"
Archon answered as if he had practiced it millions of times.
Nux nodded, as calm as ever, then—
