Nowhere to Run

Silver Surfer's guess in this regard was indeed correct. Nexus would not use Spatial Erasure inside an inhabited planet. Even erasing only part of a planet could trigger a chain reaction and cause a series of terrifying natural disasters.

After all, he was an Ultraman. He had to have a bottom line when it came to not harming innocents.

Silver Surfer could rely on his board's modulation ability to pass directly through planets without slowing down. It was not that Nexus could not replicate the move, but if he copied it, his own speed would definitely be affected.

He could not fly at high speed while phasing through things like Silver Surfer could.

Although he could not teleport directly near Silver Surfer's trajectory, he could still adjust his angle and move above or below to bypass the planet and save time. Nexus Quantumized once more, instantly teleporting around the planet before diving down from above to continue his relentless pursuit of Silver Surfer.

From then on, Silver Surfer deliberately headed for places full of obstacles, trying to slow his pursuer. He was already fast, and with his ability to phase through objects, while Nexus had to detour behind him, he could naturally widen the gap. But whenever they reached an area without planets blocking the way, Nexus would raise his hand and fire off Spatial Erasure, forcibly erasing the distance Silver Surfer had just gained.
