Supreme Harem God System

Chapter 1697: Nexus 2

"Can he not understand what we are saying?" One of them questioned.

"Don't be foolish, all of us are using Essence Tongue intentionally, there is no way he wouldn't understand it."

"Unless he is some bumpkin who doesn't understand the concept of Essence Tongue." Another one snickered.

"Hey hey, come on, is that even possible? How could one not know that?" another one chimed in with a big smile full of mockery.

"Don't ask me, I just thought that might be a case." The man shrugged.

Nux, who was listening to them didn't react.

As for the concept of 'Essence Tongue' they were talking about.

It was something he knew.

Back when he attacked a World for Vyriana's sake, he had this question.

How come beings from another world not have their own language?

How were they able to understand them and vice versa?

Does every world in this world follow one single language?

No matter how Nux thought about it, he found it strange and difficult to believe.

It was then that Vyriana explained the concept of 'Energy Language', or what these people called the Essence Tongue.

The concept behind it was simple, when a person speaks, their voice naturally carries the energy of their native world. This energy holds the "impression" of their words and intentions, converting their language into a form that others can understand. By embedding words with energy, speech transcends the limitations of individual languages, allowing a universal form of communication.

The concept relies on resonance, each world has a unique energy frequency that individuals are subconsciously attuned to. When a person speaks, they "encode" their energy essence within their words, which resonates universally, creating shared understanding.

Different beings interpret the energy imprints as words or concepts in their own language, making communication possible on a Universal Level without having to learn other languages.

Almost any Cultivator regardless of their level is able to imbue his native energy into his voice, this is something they do subconsciously, so most beings in low-level worlds do not realize what they are doing and use Essence Tongue naturally, making it possible for beings from another world to understand them.

This was also the reason why some Low-Level Worlds believed that every other world used the same language as theirs.

However, beings who understand this concept are able to control it, making it possible for them to talk in their own language, making it impossible for others to understand them unless they learn their language.

Even here, Nux could hear some beings whispering amongst themselves, talking in a language he could not decipher.

"Let him strut," a man who looked like the leader of these shadow-skinned assassins spoke with a dismissive wave of his hand. "He will learn how to act soon enough."

A few more mercenaries nearby echoed the same sentiments, eyes following Nux's movements with that same blend of challenge and casual disdain.

For the seasoned warriors and assassins here, power wasn't hidden behind a composed exterior, it was shouted out in scars, in the weight of heavy armour and in the clank of weapons that had taken lives.

This man, they thought, was just putting on airs.

"Well said, he'll learn quick enough," muttered a being named Vajra.

Vajra was a 3-meter-tall giant with purple skin and metallic spikes along his forearms, he had a large frame and a muscular body, however, what stood out the most was the large purple eye on his forehead instead of normal two eyes.

As he observed Nux pass, the corners of his mouth curled into a smirk.

"They all do.

Give it a few hours."

Vajra commented.

"Kek, a few hours. You don't think he would last for even a day."

Another one laughed.

Vajra, however, just stayed silent. His large eye turned towards a dark alleyway. Vajra was different from most beings here, his eye was special.

He could see hundreds of kilometres away without putting any strain on himself, even if the place he was looking at didn't have much light, he could observe everything very clearly.

Just like right now, he was looking at a few beings who already seemed to be on the move.

'Just as I expected.'

He shook his head.

Honestly, he pitied the newcomer.

To come to this place for the first time and attract so much attention.

Honestly, it wasn't even his fault, from the start, he didn't even say a word, yet he still attracted attention.

'Maybe he should have used a normal ship instead of whatever weird thing he came in and it wasn't like he was trying to blend into the crowd anyways. If you stick out like a sore thumb, it is obvious some people would move.'

The being shrugged.

This matter wasn't related to him.

Sure, it would be entertaining to see what was going to happen, so he would be following this bunch for the sake of his own entertainment,

But that was it.

It was all just for the sake of entertainment; he had no intention of getting involved with any of this.

The commotion ended as all the beings started ignoring Nux, not interested in him any longer. It was foolish to waste time on some newcomer who would learn his place soon enough.

People here had their own things to tend to, not many were free enough to continue observing some random man who appeared out of nowhere.

Well…

At least not the ones who had no intentions towards the newcomer, some, however, had always been waiting for such opportunities and to take advantage of them.

So, they followed the newcomer into a dark alleyway where no one could see them.

"You have been following him for a while now,

Shouldn't you come out already?"

Suddenly, the newcomer, who seemed to be walking around without knowing anything paused and spoke out loud.

'Was he luring them here?'

Vajra, who had been observing them from a distance frowned.

He was confused.

He could sense that the newcomer was fairly strong, a Sovereign, someone who was recognized by the Universe. So even if he was somewhat arrogant, he had the right to be.

But…

The beings following him weren't weak either, there were 10 of them and… 4 out of them were Sovereigns, even if others were only Protectors, it was a 4v1.

The newcomer stood no chance.
