NOVPUBThese beams were thin and pointed in specific directions.
They all had different colors, and there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of them.
Compared to humans, Specters had an innate understanding of what their abilities could do, and Nick wasn't any different.
He knew what these beams represented.
'The more powerful I grow, the more I become like the Null.'
Every beam represented someone who knew him.
There were different levels of knowing him and different aspects.
For example, someone knew how he looked.
Someone knew that he existed.
Someone knew that he was a Specter.
Someone knew him as Nick Dusk.
Someone knew him as Julian Winter.
Someone knew part of his abilities.
Someone knew his history.
Someone knew all of his abilities.
All of these people who knew him were represented by the beams.
The vast majority of the beams were white, which meant that they knew he existed but didn't know anything about him.
These beams represented all the people who had seen Nick doing something in one of the cities while disguised. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
They didn't know anything about the true Nick, but they had once seen Nick somewhere in a city.
Then, there were more colorful beams.
The light orange ones represented people or Specters who knew that he was a Specter and part of his abilities.
Some Specters he had worked along with while working for Wrath or Gluttony belonged to this group of beams.
They had seen him use some light, while others just knew him as that idiotic cloud of mist that constantly misinterpreted orders and messed things up.
There were not many of those since Nick tended to kill every Specter that had seen him.
Then, there were light blue beams.
These represented people who believed him to be human.
Most of the Agents and Protectors working for Aegis belonged to this group.
They had seen him occasionally and knew that he was a special Agent working for Aegis.
Then, there were the red threads. These symbolized people and Specters who knew that he was a Specter and knew him quite well.
The Champion and the other Shields belonged to that category. The Protectors whom Nick had led in the fight against Gluttony also belonged to that category, just like Aria.
