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]
