"Yes, the Infinities have figured out a way to know what world we are targeting and they are now actively moving to stop us."
Nux spoke, and the instant he confirmed what the women were thinking—
The lively atmosphere in the Meeting Hall... disappeared.
Of course, the children couldn’t hear any of it, Nux had put all of them to sleep as the conversation began without them knowing or understanding what had happened.
They just knew that their father, for some reason, had sealed the Universe and they were no longer supposed to leave, and then... they fell asleep.
Nihyron tried to fight it, he had sensed his father had done something, so just to challenge him, he tried to resist.
But he was far too young for him to be challenging Nux in this manner, so he too, couldn’t hold out.
"They... figured out a way...?"
Aeliana spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"How...?"
Riona asked.
Amaya, however, shook her head.
"That isn’t important, at least not right now."
And she was correct.
"We first need to understand how much they know.
To what extent can they sense our movements, we need to... experiment."
The Devourer spoke and Nux nodded at her words.
"These past five times, every time our hunting party entered that world, one of the four Infinities was waiting for them. The rest of the party was crushed the moment it entered and my clones were captured.
Of course, I ended all the connections I had with it, so the only thing they had in their hands was a powerless puppet that has no memories or abilities.
They wouldn’t find anything with it."
"But they are still capturing your clones."
Thyra pointed out.
"Yes."
Nux nodded.
"That means they still do not completely understand everything. They are still looking for answers."
"Or they just simply want to capture you."
Vyriana commented.
And honestly—
Nux did not have an answer.
All this time, he had been playing the Infinities exactly like he wanted to, of course, there were some moments of uncertainty, but overall, all his plans worked as he intended them to, the Infinities moved like he expected them to, fell for his traps like he expected them to—
It had been a smooth-sailing ride this entire time.
But for the first time in a long, long while, Nux was... answerless.
What the Infinities had done was completely out of his expectation, something he couldn’t have any possible answers to.
Questions like, how did they find a way?
Did they know how to stop him all this while? If that was true, why move now? Why not move earlier? After all, the only reason Nux survived was because he was fast and by the time the Infinities knew he had attacked, it was over.
But... if any of the Infinities had been waiting for him to attack and had attacked him the moment he arrived—
Nux didn’t think his chances of making it back from that situation were high, not back then, when he had barely devoured a few High Level Worlds.
Heck, even now, even when he had devoured more than a thousand High Level Worlds using the War to his advantage and was now much, much stronger than he was in the past—
He still wasn’t sure he could take on an Infinity.
Or maybe they didn’t have a way before and only figured something out now?
Even if that was true, the question was the same.
Figured out what exactly?
How did they do it? Was it because he made a mistake he didn’t notice?
There were too many questions and absolutely no answers.
"Is there something else that we know...?"
Sharnoth, keeping her calm, asked another question.
Nux looked at her and nodded.
"We do."
He spoke as he looked at Aeliana, the Vampire frowned in confusion and Nux—
"They are trying to reach Father-in-law."
"The Infinities...?"
Aeliana asked and Nux nodded again.
"Yes, last time Father-in-law contacted them, he left the artifact to reach him with them. They contacted him through it."
"What did they say?"
Aeliana asked.
"They said they wish to meet him."
"What...?"
The Vampire narrowed her eyes, not just her, everyone else was the same.
"Father-in-law denied, he said the same thing he said last time, that he has no reason to trust beings who do not trust themselves.
They mentioned how the War had stopped and now it was time for the Infinities to come together and take care of the outside threat.
And how, as the Universe’s Child, it was his responsibility to join them."
Nux explained and the women frowned.
"Something here does not make sense..."
Amaya muttered with a deep frown.
"Father-in-law said the same."
Nux nodded again.
"What did he say?"
Eisheth asked.
"He said that they seemed... too cooperative.
They even asked what he wanted them to do for him to be able to trust them, it went against their personalities.
Someone as arrogant as the Infinities, all coming together to... please one being, a being who once disrespected them..."
"It sounds like a trap."

All of them knew who this him Sharnoth was talking about.
Nux’s supposed Soul Father.
