NOVPUBNick left Aegis' headquarters.
Death was still paying attention to everything, but it most likely wouldn't attack for a while. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
One of the Trio of Destruction was destroyed, weakening it significantly.
Humanity would soon gain new Shields, while the ranks of the Specters had been damaged significantly.
Death's advantage was no longer as great.
'If I were in Death's position, I would try to subjugate another Adversary. Death needs servants to help it in fighting Aegis. There are several Adversaries that are neutral, and it won't be easy to subjugate them, but Death will manage. It just takes time.'
'For now, the two sides are essentially in an armistice.'
Nick traveled to the secret underground base and delivered the news of what happened.
After that, he went to the contained Adversary again to procure more knowledge for the researchers.
For now, Nick wanted to focus on humanity's technology.
His research into Zephyx Manipulation would resume after he became a Fallen.
For the next seven years, Nick listened to the Adversary, taking notes the entire time.
Then, he told the Adversary that he would be taking a small break.
Nick left Crimson City and entered deep underground in an isolated location.
He had gained enough Zephyx to become a Fallen.
At this moment, Nick was around 135 years old.
A Protector at the age of 135 years had never existed.
This was the age when the most talented Extractors were at the Mid or Late Specialist level.
Meanwhile, Nick was about to reach the seventh level.
The seventh level was a major hurdle for everyone, Specters and humans.
Humans could only become Protectors if they managed to absorb a Mid Elder for their Consumption, and Specters needed to be smart and powerful enough to cause enough suffering without getting found. Ṙ
