Shadow of IX
Last updated 2026-01-30
A Shadow of IX or Shadow of Nihility is an unintended creation of IX, the Aeon of Nihility, that exists in many forms across the universe.
Description
It is believed by scholars that places where the space-time curvature are most extreme are Shadows of IX.[1] When a Shadow of IX appears, its most prominent trait is the creation of Self-Annihilators, beings who have entered the Shadow of IX and from that moment have lost the meaning of their existence.[2] Shadows of IX can appear in numerous forms, such as the "Black Great Sun" which threatened to destroy Izumo and Takamagahara[3] before Acheron destroyed both planets[4] using the Shadow of IX.[5] Another Shadow of IX appeared in a Memory Bubble sealed away by a faceless woman in a Memory Zone.[6] This was later broken open by a Self-Annihilator and eventually destroyed by a group of Arbitrators.[7]
The Self-Annihilators' connections to Shadows of IX goes deeper than just a form of transformation. As theorized by Dr. Primitive, as Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they also cast the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of Nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world.[2] When the Doctors of Chaos created the Tonic of Efficacious Chaos, one of its side effects was causing Self-Annihilators to behold a Shadow of IX.[8]
