Having learned that the spell matrix won't just collapse on its own, Lucius felt relieved. He then focused on the aspect which actually caused its collapse and realized that it was Nexus itself.
"Seems like the conflict between Aether and Hell Energy might still be a problem." Lucius muttered to himself.
Lucius had not seen the battle between the two energies as he was asleep. Back then the hell energy and Aether had clashed many times, such that even Lucius's body was getting damaged.
Only when the Aether Voluntarily stopped, was the damage healed. But this had also allowed the hell energy to take over and created the channels between the hell imprint and the Nexus.
Lucius still didn't understand the exact nature of change that had been caused by the hell energy except for the creation of Hell Aether. But he knew there must be more to it than he was seeing.
'I'll need to test out more…' Lucius thought.
