Lex sucked in a deep breath, as unimaginable temptation took hold of his body and soul. What was a universe? It was the bloody container for all of reality, as far as he was concerned. All the realms, the void, Abaddon, Arch-Heaven, Nether, and possibly endless other entities he'd never even heard of all existed within this one universe.
Whether it was Dao Lords, or beings above the Dao Lord level, their very existence still relied on the universe. So then, to be able to take even the scraps of a universe was so unimaginably tempting that it could not be put into words.
Lex could already think of two ways in which those scraps could be used. One option - the very first option that popped into his mind - was to absorb it himself. Surely that would boost his strength to an unimaginable level - surely it would. Or it would kill him, which is why he thought of a second possibility, which was to fuse it with the Midnight Realm.
