Chapter 143: 143 - Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme
Seeing Lailah stammer for so long, Nexus smiled and helped her think a little faster.
"Useful?"
"Yes, I'm very useful. Extremely useful. Look at this magic bag. It contains countless treasures that can do all kinds of things that only I can do."
Having found the right words, Lailah kept showing off her own value. But her value left the system feeling confused.
Not to mention that the system itself could also be considered omnipotent. Nexus himself, in the system's eyes, could also use Michael's power.
It could be said that the two of them were a combination of two omnipotent entities. Now adding another omnipotent person, what was the point?
"Lailah, you're a holy angel, right?"
"Huh? Yes. Of course."
Lailah stared blankly at Nexus. She didn't understand why he was asking this, but she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"If that's the case, then you shouldn't lie."
Nexus smiled and gently patted her head. This action from Nexus made Lailah's brain constantly send out warning signals.
She had originally planned to approach Nexus under the identity of a tour guide while keeping an eye on his behavior to prevent him from causing too much damage, but it seemed she could no longer pretend.
"We really are worried about your existence, but the main reason I came here to stay by your side is just to show Heaven's attitude."
"Give it to me."
"What?"
Nexus's sudden request left Lailah stunned. She really didn't understand Nexus's train of thought.
"The personality I should have according to your thoughts. You want me to become like that, don't you?"
Now Lailah understood what Nexus meant. She awkwardly jumped off Nexus and rummaged through her magic bag for something that looked like a golden chip constantly radiating a brilliant glow.
"Will you really become a kind master like this?"
Lailah's beautiful, sparkling eyes widened as she stared at Nexus. As long as he agreed, she had basically completed her mission.
Nexus didn't say much and took the chip. With just one glance, he understood what kind of personality Lailah wanted him to have.
"After all, I'm a guest, so it's good to go along with the host's wishes. This can also be considered a new experience for me. But I need to make some adjustments to avoid any problems that might cause me to accidentally turn this entire universe upside down."
He wasn't exaggerating. Even he, Michael, or Lucifer had enough power to do that to the material universe. As for Heaven or Hell, it was indeed more difficult, but Nexus only needed a little more time to stir both of them into chaos.
"W-Wait…"
Lailah was startled and tried to stop Nexus, but it was already too late. Nexus quickly placed the chip against his forehead. The chip automatically burrowed straight into Nexus's head.
The aura suddenly erupting from Nexus was so terrifying that Bell couldn't take it and almost knelt down, but this brief moment disappeared almost immediately.
After that, Nexus just stood still in place, leaving the system, Lailah, and Bell staring at him in confusion. They kept looking at him but saw no reaction, so the system asked.
[What kind of person do you actually want Nexus to become?]
Sure enough, it was only when talking to an angel that the system put away its usual arrogance.
"I want Nexus to become someone who won't turn a blind eye when he sees injustice, who is willing to stand up and help when he sees someone weaker, who helps people in trouble before they even have a chance to ask, who knows how to give without asking for anything in return, who knows how to forgive when others sincerely repent, who knows how to empathize with pain he has never experienced, who knows how to listen without judging..."
Lailah kept talking nonstop, making both the system and Bell feel that it was way too absurd, but neither of them stopped her. She continued talking for several thousand words before finally stopping.
[Are you… really sure Nexus will become that kind of person?]
Although it normally looked down on Nexus, the system didn't believe that Lailah alone could turn Nexus into someone with such an absurdly good personality.
Was this even a description of a person? Although Nexus wasn't human, Lailah was clearly describing an angel. And not just an ordinary angel, but the kindest angel.
"M-Maybe."
Lailah smiled awkwardly. She really wasn't sure. She didn't think an existence as supreme as Nexus could be changed so easily according to her wishes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the aura radiating from Nexus became even more terrifying. Even though he had been powerful before, he had never deliberately displayed it like this.
A phantom of a white dragon wrapped around Earth appeared, allowing everyone, no matter where they were, to see it, then disappeared within a few seconds.
Nexus stood still in place and raised his head to look at the bright moon, his imposing and overbearing aura making him seem like an unrivaled supreme being.
"Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme."
The moment he opened his mouth, his first sentence was already filled with such imposing arrogance that it completely shattered everyone's understanding of Nexus.
Normally, Nexus would just keep the same expressionless face like a stone, but now anyone who saw him would feel that he was extremely arrogant.
Did Lailah think she was the only one who could change Nexus? Don't forget whose heart was inside Nexus. Compared to Lailah, Lucifer was on a completely different level, so now Nexus was a pretty nice person but incredibly arrogant.
The combination of Nexus, the system, and Ziz was now a gathering of three people who were so arrogant that none of them was willing to yield to the others.
"You really made things difficult for me by wanting me to become this kind."
Nexus suddenly raised Lailah's chin with his hand. The moment their eyes met, Lailah became flustered.
She didn't quite understand what was happening, but she could tell one thing for sure: everything had gone completely off her calculations.
"You… you won't destroy the universe, right?" Other than bluntly asking this question, Lailah didn't know what else to say for the moment.
