In the world of Terra Nexum, the threat of Nullum Nihil is more than just legend or a hidden mystery; this absolute force subtly impacts all life. The most vigilant fallen angels see it as a balance lurking at the edge of reality, ready to consume everything in a void if the world and surrounding dimensions are left unchecked. However, some entities in Terra Nexum seek to uncover Nullum Nihil's secrets, hoping to understand or even control it. This pursuit ignites deeper conflicts among factions of fallen angels and other mystical entities, all wondering: is Nullum Nihil an unavoidable end, or the ultimate secret that could lead them to power never before achieved?
Impact of Nullum Nihil on Fallen Angel Factions:
1. Reconcilers - The Path of Redemption and Destruction
To the Reconcilers, Nullum Nihil serves as a reminder that the world could end if they fail to seek forgiveness or redeem their sins. They view it as a warning from Yahweh that creation could be erased if darkness and destruction grow too great.
However, a minority of Reconcilers see Nullum Nihil as a way to erase their existence entirely, believing it to be the ultimate form of redemption. They see entering Nullum Nihil as a way to erase their sins along with all memories and identities. They believe this is the only way to truly unite with Yahweh's will.
2. Raveners - Worshippers of Absolute Destruction
The Raveners consider Nullum Nihil to be the ideal end, a means of "returning everything" to perfect emptiness. They believe that if they can channel the energy of Nullum Nihil, they could destroy Terra Nexum and all other dimensions at once, creating "peace" through undeniable nihilism.
Some Ravener leaders are actively seeking ways to open a portal to Nullum Nihil, hoping to harness it as a final weapon in the war between realms. However, this action brings significant risk, as a failed attempt could cause Nullum Nihil to expand, beginning an unstoppable consumption of all reality.
3. Cryptics - Seekers of Cosmic Truths and Mysteries
To the Cryptics, Nullum Nihil is the ultimate enigma, an entity beyond all understanding. They regard it as the "Origin of Nothingness," perhaps even older than Yahweh himself. They delve into ancient texts and perform rituals to comprehend the origins of Nullum Nihil, hoping to uncover deeper truths about existence.
Some Cryptics theorize that within Nullum Nihil lies the "Seed of Reality" — the source of all things. They believe that the universe may have emerged from this absolute void. To them, if this secret is revealed, it could unlock boundless insights into creation and destruction, granting them the power to rewrite destiny.
4. Luciferans - Followers of the Path of Light
For the Luciferans, Nullum Nihil is a threat that underscores the importance of their struggle to protect and guide humanity. They believe the world holds immense potential that must not be allowed to vanish. To them, Nullum Nihil is a form of ultimate destruction that must be prevented at all costs.
However, some radical Luciferans view Nullum Nihil as a reminder that perhaps everything indeed has an endpoint. They seek ways to avert this total annihilation, exploring ways to reinforce the world or create "immortality" through human or technological means.
5. Fiends - Regulators of Cosmic Fate and Destiny
The Fiends believe Nullum Nihil may be part of a larger web of fate, perhaps as the ultimate balancer in the cosmos. They see it as the embodiment of an inevitable end, an aspect of the pattern that must exist to maintain balance.
Some Fiends consider it a tool to reset Terra Nexum's destiny, searching for ways to control this void to rewrite reality. To them, if Nullum Nihil could be harnessed, then the fate of all beings could be reset, offering a chance to create a new world free from sin and suffering.
6. Devourers - Destroyers and Guardians of Nature
The Devourers see Nullum Nihil as a severe threat to the balance of nature. They feel threatened by this absolute void because it erases all essence of life. To them, this emptiness contradicts the very existence of nature and must be prevented from spreading.
Some extreme Devourers believe they could harness the power of Nullum Nihil to eradicate human-made worlds and recreate nature in a purer, more natural form. They view it as a cycle of life that would start again from a zero point.
Entities and Guardians of Nullum Nihil
It is believed that Nullum Nihil is guarded by Void Sentinels, entities embodying the void itself. These Sentinels have no form, voice, or detectable presence; they can only be sensed through shifts in reality or disturbances in the souls of creatures who come close. Void Sentinels guard the boundaries of Nullum Nihil, ensuring that anyone who approaches is destroyed or absorbed into nothingness.
The Sentinels possess several terrifying abilities:
Absolute Negation: They can erase the existence of objects or entities near Nullum Nihil, leaving no trace.
Spiritual Absorption: Void Sentinels can draw the souls of living beings, erasing their identity and memory instantly. They can also nullify supernatural abilities, causing fallen angels or mystical beings to lose their powers permanently.
Temporal Erasure: These Sentinels exist beyond time and are unaffected by temporal changes. They can manipulate the flow of time to deceive or trap those approaching Nullum Nihil.
Rituals to Control Nullum Nihil
Certain factions in Terra Nexum, especially the Raveners and Cryptics, have attempted to find rituals that could open or control Nullum Nihil. These rituals involve elements from various dimensions, such as combining energies from the Abyss, Twilight Realm, and Realm of Patterns to summon Nullum Nihil's power within a controlled boundary.
However, these rituals are highly risky. It is said that anyone attempting them without full understanding will end up absorbed into Nullum Nihil, vanishing without a trace. Furthermore, Nullum Nihil tends to expand each time powerful energy is summoned from within, potentially threatening Terra Nexum and its neighboring realms.
The Final Terror: If Nullum Nihil Expands
If Nullum Nihil is left to expand unchecked, it could consume all of Terra Nexum. This would bring about absolute annihilation, erasing all life, dimensions, and possibly affecting realms beyond Terra Nexum. The Abyss, Twilight Realm, Realm of Patterns, and all other dimensions could be absorbed, erasing everything from history and memory. Terra Nexum would become merely a "shadow" of something that once was, without trace or meaning.
Dreams and Omens of Nullum Nihil: Some fallen angels and spiritually sensitive humans have begun experiencing nightmares and visions of this inevitable void. They see Terra Nexum turning black and empty, as though they are shadows trying to flee an unavoidable destruction. These visions are considered warnings from Yahweh or possibly a side effect of Nullum Nihil's growing influence.

In the world of Terra Nexum, Nullum Nihil is the greatest looming threat, the embodiment of absolute nothingness that could erase all existence. Every entity, faction, and individual must now choose whether they will fight for their existence or seek power from this void. Nullum Nihil is the endpoint of all — and this final battle will determine whether Terra Nexum, with all its dimensions, can endure or end in unending emptiness.
