5. Chapter 5

Chapter 576: An End!

"Die."

It was a single command.

A single command which perplexed all the forces of Celestials that just battled at the Verittas Fortress, as it was not something any of them expected to hear from their Founder as he glanced towards them.

Many of them titled their heads to see if they heard correctly, but then their eyes began shaking as from the figure of Aldrich that they feared to even look at for too long, a golden light had begun to swiftly permeate from him!

This light caused their hearts to palpate as it did not seem warm or calming, but it held a cruel glimmer which shook them to their very cores!

"What.."

"This…!

"No!"

Pandemonium ensued as those who were covered by this light began to burn in body and in origin, screeching shouts resounding out as an unbelievable sight occurred in this nondescript region in the Light Expanse where Aldrich had teleported the Celestials who were fighting at the Verittas Fortress.

RUMBLE!

Aldrich's hand reached out as he clasped onto the neck of the remaining Star Forging Celestial that was about to fall into the hands of the 9th Infernal Lord, the shocked look of horror on the Celestial's eyes not making Aldrich falter one bit!

"Founder...Huk!"

His hand clasped tighter as he used an Authority about to near completion to decimate the forces of Celestials he just saved, those in the World Realm or below not being able to last even a second as their bodies burned flames of gold, screams resounding across the region they were in.

Not a single Celestial could escape as his Authority spread out to cover all the nearby space, many only being able to speak their grievances for a single second before they perished!

"Why…!"

"No!"

In the midst of all of this, Aldrich's eyes remained impassive as he watched the Star Forging Celestial Commander in his hands begin to fade away, a shocking sight displaying itself all around the tens of miles area as hundreds of thousands of Celestials had their lives extinguished.

"There is no underlying reason, your uses have just run out."

Aldrich spoke out slowly as there was not a single soul to answer him, only golden flames remaining in the surrounding miles that signified the lives of Celestials he had raised for years. Numerous Fate Lines descended down at this juncture as the apathetic eyes of Aldrich glanced at the ashes around him.

"Do not blame me for what I am about to do to the creatures dwelling in this little cage of yours. You have simply pushed me too much."

His cold voice rang out again as his figure carried out another long distance teleportation, disappearing from this area that bordered the Dark Expanse as he went towards a different location.

At this same time, the commands he released to the other Celestial Legions to destroy the location in the Dark Expanse they occupied were being carried out with extreme cruelty, the Celestials themselves not knowing that hundreds of thousands of beings just like them were just decimated by their Founder!

As they began destroying the lives of many in the Dark Expanse, they had no idea what fate awaited for them as they made their return to a place they called home!

The events about to occur next...were simply too horrendous, and the deaths would be simply too many. It was a cruel and sad time period, and one that would be remembered throughout history…

In the location above the Verittas Fortress, Noah and the other Commanders began receiving news from many locations that were monitoring the occupied strongholds of the Dark Expanse by Celestials.

The news they received was of shocking cruelty, of numerous stars beginning to be destroyed as Celestials could be seen retreating!

"This…!"

"Monsters!"

Many beings growled out in pained fury as they heard this, as too many of them had connections to these places, where some soldiers even had their families still living in strongholds occupied by Celestials! Now, they were hearing that they would not even get the chance to fight back for them, that the Celestials had begun destroying stars using their World Commanders or Prime Warships, if not the more horrendous Realm Dreadnaughts.

"Snow Field Stronghold...has been destroyed!"

"The Bronze Star Cluster is…!"

Numerous shocking news rang out as the many forces in the Dark Expanse began to move and react to these news, Noah turning towards the 1st Infernal Lord that had begun speaking with a cold tone.

"It seems Aldrich is adopting drastic measures. Go, save all those that you can."

Noah's figure disappeared even before the words of the 1st Infernal Lord could finish as he teleported to the location that his identity as Crixus had a role in helping occupy, his main body appearing at the Witches Layer where three stars were rotating the last time he was here.

Now, only two stars remained as one had already been targeted by a Prime Warship, its core blasted by destructive lasers as the billions within it were wiped away!

"Wretches!"

RUMBLE!

Noah moved with a cold expression as his eyes blazed red, his figure targeting the three Prime Warships that were now aiming their weapons towards the other two remaining stars as he cast Aether Star Form and barreled towards these vessels in an instant, smashing into them and destroying all those within as he moved to save the remaining two planets.

WAA!

Baleful Aether and many other skills were employed as he moved to wipe out any of the remaining Celestials nearby, moving fast to save as many beings as he could.

As his eyes watched the already shattered star, he felt pangs of guilt for the billions lost as it was through his identity as Crixus that this Witches Layer was taken over, but never did he expect for Aldrich to command his forces to destroy conquered areas after he appeared!

RUMBLE!

Noah continued to move as he was among the many beings across the Dark Expanse that moved angrily to stop the injustice and blatant genocide currently being carried out by retreating Celestials, the fates of many creatures being affected this day as chaos freely spread out unbound!

It would be a long, painful, and sad day for many to live through, but it signified the nearing of the end of something that would have carried on for years.

If it had followed the normal route, the Last War would have lasted for a much longer period of time, with the possibility of trillions facing their deaths.

But now, less than even a month after the Last War began, the Celestials were already retreating while carrying out horrendous actions.

Whether it was through the law of ever-increasing chaos and disorder.

Or through the steering of the river of fate.

Or through the karma sowed by the multitude of creatures.

An end was coming, and a new beginning would soon arise.

Chapter 577: The Inquisitor, Athena I

A few hours had passed since the Celestials began their retreat while carrying out horrendous actions.

During this time, Noah and the others had moved to save all they could, even the Nebula Realm Infernal Lord and the recently appearing Fritz lending their hand!

But when all was said and done, billions of lives were still lost on this day as numerous stars faced complete destruction. It was a sad day, but it also marked the beginning of something new as all Celestial forces effectively retreated out of the Dark Expanse, leaving many beings to wonder where exactly things would go from here.

Noah's figure flashed back to the Verittas Fortress as he glanced at the starry expanse of space where many things had occurred, his mind receiving a message from the 1st Infernal Lord as he looked after his forces in the area.

"Aldrich must have seen your genius methods of advancements and pulled back his forces because of it, choosing the route of stumping your growth while he completes his comprehension in a Supreme Law."

The words of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out in his mind first, with her figure materializing beside him thereafter as she continued to speak.

"But...fate continues to move where it wishes, and the actions of a single being will not stop it."

Even during this situation of immense loss of lives that occurred today, the 1st Infernal Lord smiled as she continued.

"You recall when I gathered all the Infernal Lord and gave out the commands to hold captive the enemy Commanders they faced? A grand present is waiting for you in the Fourth Infernal Realm when you have the time."

"...!"

Noah turned towards this unique existence as he reigned in his emotions, seeing that the gathering of Fate Lines might actually be continuing with a much smoother method even after Aldrich interfered and initiated an unexpected move that still had its effects spreading out even now!

Noah nodded towards the 1st Infernal Lord as he began sending messages to his subordinates, sensing that huge things would be occurring in the next few days as he had to prepare diligently.

"I'll finish a few things here and then make my way over."

He looked towards the smiling Infernal Lord as he said this, seeing her expression shine even brighter as she began to disappear into particles of light.

The space around the Verittas Fortress regained some quietness as figures moved here and there, Noah's subordinates beginning to disappear as his Infernal Legion also began to move back towards the Doorway leading to the 2nd Infernal Realm.

The Commanders of the Dark Expanse continued to busily move as Old Man Inuit worked with Vladivostok and the Grand Mage Edrusim to stabilize the chaotic situation, Noah not needed to attend to any of these things as he went on to conclude events of his own before the next stage was set!

His forces disappeared one after another as they returned to his Infinite Realm, the gaze of his main body landing on his remaining clone who had gone to protect Athena when Aldrich appeared, those two figures also disappearing as they were sent to the Infinite Realm.

He left the battlefield at the Verittas Fortress for the last time himself as he teleported into the radiant Infinite Realm, this time appearing above the wide seas that used to be in his home world.

The unique aesthetics of the Infinite Realm that was vibrant with the essence of all sorts of laws brought in a calming effect, but the figures currently populating the skies above the wide blue seas had varying expressions.

Noah glanced at the beings that he had teleported in this area as they ranged from Harbingers of Sin to the Beasts of the Infinite Realm, with the addition of a figure imprisoned in a cage made of Aether and a lone Athena that floated in the skies with a difficult to read expression.

All of them were above the beautiful blue seas, an enormous vessel arising below them as the figures of Atlanteans and Merfolk rose to the surface, their gazes all locking towards the two new figures of Grandmaster Vredral and Athena!

Vredral was the being imprisoned in the cage of Aether, his mouth snapped shut as the baleful essence restricted him from even speaking a word. All he could do was send murderous glares toward the creatures around him.

Noah looked at all these beings as he raised his hand, his voice resonating out clearly to every single being here.

"We have advanced much, those we labeled as enemies being stopped in their tracks as they even retreated today."

Yes! He and his forces had moved forward with their goals as they opposed Celestials, being largely successful so far as now all that remained was a final battle!

"Some of you faced varying levels of pain from Celestials, with a few holding very personal grudges as things that were very important were taken away from you."

The gazes of the Kraken, remaining Calamities of the Sea, and the Ocean Master that had appeared from the sea below on the expansive vessel all shook at these words as they continued to listen.

"A few months ago, multiple figures boarded a Prime Warship as they appeared above the Lost World. These two...are the only ones remaining alive at this moment."

Noah pointed towards the caged Vredral as well as the figure of Athena who stood with his clone, his voice continuing to ring out.

"When it comes to revenge for the lives lost and for the destruction of the Lost World, we have reaped the lives of many Celestials! The ones standing before you today are the principal figures that were directly involved, but there are also intricacies behind the scenes that created for the way that events occurred on that day!"

He waved his hands as he said this, causing the appearance of an illusory screen that began relaying the truth behind many events, starting with the similar scenes he had shown Athena not too long ago as he narrated the hidden history that very few were privy to!

He was set on coming up with a good conclusion to the being that had helped to set in motion many of the events that occurred so far, the fate of Athena being the major thing to be decided on the meeting here today!

Chapter 578: The Inquisitor, Athena II

An entire hour passed as those around Noah learned a great deal about how the Celestials used to operate behind the scenes, coming to know of the reasoning they used to destroy many worlds as well as some of the ways they recruited their disciples.

The major thing was for them to understand Vredral and Athena, the beings they had come to know in the past few months as Noah moved with them using his identity as a Celestial!

After the hidden truth and histories were laid out with the inhabitants of the destroyed Lost World understanding everything fully, Noah looked towards them as he asked.

"You know the past history, and you have lived the future. What do you all wish to do?"

"..."

An eerie silence descended upon the gorgeous environment of the Infinite Realm where a few powerful figures were clustered.

Athena's eyes glanced towards all of these beings as her heart actually felt at peace, hearing the words of the being she knew as Crixus that caused this silence to descend.

When she saw her own life history playing out in front of her, she had gazed towards this being as he was the reason her heart had grown calm- and it was because she confirmed that there really was something in the heart of this Junior Brother that was forcing himself to act coldly towards her the past few days!

A person that did not care would not have bothered to explain or justify things to his own subordinates, but Crixus went to great lengths to show the truth to them before he asked them what they wished!

Athena looked at the beings that she had destroyed the World of as even in the calmness, her eyes shook. This was because she still remembered carrying out those actions, and even if she used the excuse of being deceived by Celestials, she was still the one to ultimately push the button that released the destructive lasers.

Even though Grandmaster Vredral was right there beside her on that ship powering it with his Domain Expansion Realm energy, it was still her mission that she completed! Thus, her heart was at peace as she prepared for the actions that the inhabitants of this destroyed world would take, even though it seemed her Junior Brother was actually going out of his way to protect her!

The silence ended when a single miniaturized Calamity of the Sea moved forward.

It was the one holding the Sin of Wrath, the being who was closest to the Lost World as he heard its last few words when it fell! The Kraken moved towards the crazed figure of Grandmaster Vredral who was contained in the cage of Aether.

"Master, may I…?"

The Kraken voiced out as Noah waved his hands, the cage of Aether disappearing as Vredral regained control of his body and screamed out.

"You all will peris- Huk!"

His words were stopped short as the tentacles of the World Rank Kraken wrapped around him, his power still at the Domain Rank this entire time not being able to do a single thing as he felt his body constricted and his bones begin to break!

CRUNCH!

The Kraken did not even give Vredral any time to release any last words or curses, using its powerful strength to actually crush the body of this being instantly!

The Ocean Master and other inhabitants of the Lost World looked at this scene as their hearts became lighter, the eyes of many moving towards the figure of the War Princess they had seen move with their Master, and also the being that played a crucial role in the last battle at the Verittas Fortress.

The Kraken also floated towards her as his red eyes looked into hers deeply, as if trying to sense something or discern a deeper meaning!

"Even though this woman was brainwashed at a young age and deceived by the Celestials, she is still responsible for what happened! But...we are not cruel like our enemies, so I will speak out on behalf of the inhabitants of the Lost World when I say this."

The gaze of the Kraken who was the most powerful being from the Lost World shone with splendor as he finished his words.

"So long as she continues to use her strength to work with us in order to change actions that she and many other Celestials have carried out over the last hundreds of years...she can earn forgiveness!"

RUMBLE!

Invisible waves of fate spread out at these words, Athena looking up to the Kraken and then towards Noah as her eyes shook.

…!

Many of the beings looked towards each other as some held nodding expressions while others were impassive. The Emperor Penguin shook its beak as its beady eyes glanced at everyone with disdain, its gaze seemingly looking down on everyone here as if it knew a larger truth that many of them were not privy to!

Noah nodded at the words of the Kraken as he waved his hands and began sending out commands once more. If one was really paying attention, they would be able to notice the heavy weight lifting off his shoulders at this moment.

"Very well. I will send out word later for the role this being with Noble Fate will continue to play in the future."

Noah looked towards Athena as he said this, his words continuing as he spoke to his subordinates.

"Continue training and prepare, as it looks like the final fight is coming soon. Though it seems that many of you will not be able to participate in it…"

Noah's words trailed off as his subordinates nodded, many of them beginning to move out as they sought the Time Space or a specific Law Space for them to train in while using their loot they obtained from the recent battle!

The Atlanteans and Merfolk nodded appreciatively towards Noah as their vessel returned to the sea below, the Kraken and other Harbingers looking towards Athena before they moved out as well.

Above the beautiful blue sea, all that was left were the two figures of Athena and Noah's main body, his clone returning to the Time Space to continue training as the time drew closer!

The voice of Athena rang out at this time. It seemed to be filled with complicated emotions as her expression held a gaze of hopefulness and loss at the same time. She was extremely grateful for the kindness that the inhabitants of the Lost World showed, as she knew they were well within their rights to even demand her death from their Master. But they chose a different path!

"Thank you...Junior Brother."

Noah heard this voice that seemed to have many emotions in it as he nodded, looking out across the expansive blue seas around them as his mind went over his own thoughts multiple times.

"The...the places affected by the Celestials are many, and even if this war ends in your favor, they will require the help of powerful beings to re-establish order."

Athena continued to speak with slight hesitation as she glanced at the back of her Junior Brother, regaining the valiancy of the past War Princess as she continued.

"I will stay true to my aim and stand forth to establish order...and I would like your assistance again if it is possible, Junior Brother."

Athena said these words with conviction as her figure straightened, choosing to speak what she felt as even if her relationship with this being would not go back to how it was just a few weeks ago, she would still move and try her best to establish something like it as she aimed to achieve the goal of Order she had this entire time!

Noah nodded as he stopped staring out into the blue seas, his figure glancing towards Athena as he went towards her.

When it came to this War Princess, there were a myriad of conflicting feelings as Noah had tried to separate anything he felt while thinking back to his subordinates from the Lost World in the past weeks. When one thought about their relationship, it began on a lie, and was built on top of the blood of many beings!

He came close to her as he thought about these things, his eyes turning red as his mouth opened and his pristine fangs protruded once more. He turned her shaking head aside as his fangs sunk in, using his authority as the Vampyre Progenitor to upgrade the bloodline of a normal Vampyre that he granted her before into one of a Royal Vampyre!

"Ahhn~"

Athena voiced out as her body convulsed, Noah moving away from her as she began to release a more powerful aura. She clutched her neck as she looked towards Noah and spoke.

"Junior Brother, is there still a chance…"

Her words wandered off as she felt the new power coursing through her, Noah glancing at the wide blue seas once more as he replied honestly.

"I don't know."

Yes! He did not know!

He thought back to his relationship with Adelaide and Barbatos, even Elizabeth who still resided and looked after the Blessed Empire under Steel Mikhail. All of these women that he surrounded himself with, even though he had connections with them, he either found himself spending very little time with or even not seeing them completely in the case of Elizabeth.

When it came to Athena who had actually spent the most time with as much of the past months were sparring and moving with her with his identity as Crixus, he was conflicted even more because of her identity, and wanting to stay true to what he promised the inhabitants of the Lost World!

Now that all of it was resolved, he was asking himself whether it would do him any good to start something again out of this relationship that began on a completely wrong note. Even if he did, would it be any different from what he had with the women he surrounded himself with now?

As he continued to advance to greater and higher levels, he had of course continued to notice the distinct changes with the people he surrounded himself with. In the case of Barbatos, the wild and unruly Necromancer had long ago stopped calling him Little Fish, where Noah felt a gap being created and widening every time he continued to elevate himself onto higher stages, and this wasn't just in terms of upgrading through Ranks.

Even the docile Adelaide began to look at him with a light of reverence aside from the infatuation, his continued advancement into greater heights creating a sense of loneliness even when surrounded by many beings that loved him!

This was an extremely unique feeling that he did not know how to explain!

If he had told his past self that he would feel a sense of loneliness even when surrounded by the most beautiful beings, he would have laughed and called it ridiculous, but he was actually feeling this emotion for the past weeks.

He continued to stand alone atop an extremely heavy pedestal that now bore the weight of multiple worlds that had fused into a realm, where he himself did not know where his journey would ultimately lead.

He loved the feeling of power and experiencing brand new skills and skill trees, exploring wondrous locations and lands he would never even dream of before, but he still could not figure out how to erase this feeling where something seemed to be missing in his connections.

This was why he replied that he did not know.

But when Athena heard these words, her eyes brightened up as her valiant aura visibly erupted out even more as she seemed to make a new goal, nodding as she heard the words of Noah ring out once more.

"Get familiar with the Infinite Realm first before anything else, and prepare to move out to lead if I send the word. After all, you are still the War Princess who is uniquely fit to lead because of your ability."

Noah said this as he prepared to finish off a few more things before he went to the Fourth Infernal Realm to most likely achieve complete comprehension in a Supreme Law, where things could go in many directions thereafter as they would permanently change the state of the Novus Galaxy.

Within the next hour, a grand announcement was made to the respective Commanders under Noah- beings like Elena, Steel Mikhail, Kraken, and many others that oversaw and led large forces or regions in the Infinite Realm. All of these beings received the message that the War Princess seeking order in the Novus Galaxy would take on a similar position as them as she used her unique ability created for War to lead some of Noah's forces, a new commander coming into their ranks!

Something that would not be known until much later was how the title of this being who was now known as the War Princess would change in the future as she went on to carry out her goals and ideals.

The identity of this being that used to be a Celestial would be stripped away as she would later come to be known as the Inquisitor!

The Inquisitor, Athena!

Chapter 579: Racing to 100%!

While carrying many thoughts and emotions, Noah decided to forge towards the path he was following as he spent some time to resolve the issue of Athena and get her up to speed on all the wondrous things in the Infinite Realm.

After that, he disappeared from the Infinite Realm just as quickly as he had arrived, heading towards the Fourth Realm of Hell as he knew that time was a factor in what was to come!

While he did this, he checked all the things he had gained in the recent battle aside from the implosion of Fate Lines. The next best thing was the Skill Points, where the ability [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] shined for the first time as he actually obtained 354 Skill Points from the 7 Star Forgers he had taken down.

This meant he had recovered all the skill points he used to obtain the skill, and had now gained another 54 to use as he wished!

The usefulness of [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] would only continue to increase from here as he got back on track to obtaining more and more skill points.

Aside from the Star Forging Cores that he had already given out most of to his subordinates, the Skill Books weren't anything worth talking about as they did not even come close to matching the effectiveness of the skills under his skill trees.

It was these same skill trees that he had actually made a decision about, where he knew he had to narrow his focus greatly in order to have a powerful enough skill tree to stand against Aldrich. The battle against this being that he thought would not come for weeks or months seemed like it would occur in a matter of days, or even shorter!

Thus, he most definitely needed to have at least one skill tree at the Nebula Rank before that time, and he was of course going with the only skill tree he had advanced to the Star Forging Rank so far- The Terror of Aether!

His next best options were the skill trees revolving around Fate and Chaos, but they were far behind at this point as he placed his focus on the skill tree that was only a stage away. In an ideal situation, he would have strived to have his skill tree that relied on the Chaos element near its peak to face the fate that Aldrich utilized, but the power of a Terror seemed to be just as deadly if not more.

Even in the Infinite Realm, Fate and Chaos were unlocked first, with Aether being unlocked after! This led Noah to believe that there was something unique about this element, its tier maybe even being elevated higher than the other two!

So even if he had to utilize some skill points in order to bring the proficiency to a required level in order to upgrade the Terror of Aether skill tree, he would do it! His gaze was sharp as his figure appeared in the skies of the Fourth Infernal Realm.

When he appeared in this unique realm, he could actually feel a sense of calmness amidst all of this, his gaze going towards the powerful energy signatures in the ancient metropolis cities as his figure descended down.

He could sense the aura of the 1st Infernal Lord in the clearing behind the enormous archaic castle he had arrived in before, his figure lying down on this clearing as he saw multiple beings turn their eyes towards him.

All the Infernal Lords were here, with the 1st Infernal Lord looking towards him with a smile as she pointed to a group of bound beings in front of them!

Noah's eyes focused on these figures as he sensed the strong fate essence from them, each of these figures holding varying amounts of Fate Lines as they were the Celestial Commanders that the Infernal Lords captured before the events that occurred today took place.

This was the objective that the 1st Infernal Lord had given to all the Lords some time ago, and Noah would reap the rewards of it now as he would actually be able to complete his comprehension of the Law of Fate through it!

"Fate works in mysterious ways. Even I could not have predicted for things to play out this way."

The melodious voice of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out as Noah activated Apathy while going towards the bound Celestial Commanders. He knew what he had to in order to be able to stand against Aldrich, and he stepped forward as he claimed the hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines he needed to achieve 100% of law comprehension in fate!

On the other side of the Novus Galaxy, Aldrich was floating in the skies of the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm peacefully as he glanced down beneath him.

If one glanced at the Sanctum at this moment, they would notice the golden landscapes to be bathed in a bloody red color, a horrific scene of millions dying unexpected deaths present in the Celestial Realm!

Aldrich had actually continued his cruel actions after he made up his mind, continuing to reap the lives of the force he had created for hundreds of years because he now saw them as useless!

Keeping them alive only meant that they would continue to be fuel for an abominable enemy that actually advanced through the law of fate as easily as one could, while dismembering the organization he created and reaping their lives for himself actually granted him more Fate Lines himself, where he actually neared his goal at this very moment.

As he forever changed the fates of millions of powerful Celestials and influenced both the Light Expanse and Dark Expanse because of it, hundreds of Fate Lines were descending towards him every time he reaped the lives of more Celestials that he commanded to retreat to the Celestial Realm.

RUMBLE!

Another Legion entered and appeared in the Sanctum as Aldrich waved his hands one more, a bone-chilling light being carried with it as all the arriving Celestials were killed even before they knew what happened, more blood dying the normally golden Sanctum.

The cold light of apathy and madness in Aldrich's eyes only continued to grow stronger as he saw fewer than 10,000 Fate Lines remaining before he achieved 10 million, his gaze shining with powerful light as he continued to destroy the organization he created with sweat, blood, and tears over the years in order to achieve his own goals!

Chapter 580: A New Identity: Controller!

Across the vicissitudes of time, many beings came and went as they made very little impact on the overall lives of trillions.

Very rarely, a few unique beings rose above the masses as they shone brighter than anything seen before, the paths these beings took changing and affecting the lives of an uncountable number of beings!

In the Fourth Infernal Realm and the bloodied Sanctum of the Celestial Realm, two beings were going towards achieving something that very few could ever hope to achieve. Both of them were rushing towards the completion of a comprehension of a Supreme Law, and oddly enough, the actions they were taking were actually eerily similar.

Aldrich was dismantling his own force that he created for the past hundred years, this single action of destroying an extremely powerful and pervasive organization granting him hundreds of Fate Lines as the few thousand required Fate Lines before 10 million were quickly gathered!

Meanwhile, Noah was also reaping the lives of Celestial Commanders as each life gave him anything on the range above one hundred thousand.

Similar actions, similar goals, the only thing different being the varying efficacy!

RUMBLE!

At this time, the space around the Sanctum where Aldrich stood had begun turning a shade of gold as he closely approached the 10 million point, the surrounding miles beginning to permeate with a pure essence of fate that seemed to be calling for the arrival of something grand.

In the Fourth Infernal Realm, Noah's surroundings had actually not adopted this same appearance, the phenomenon that Aldrich was experiencing being unique as he was going towards completing the comprehension in a much slower form, but he had less than a thousand remaining Fate Lines required in order for him to reach it!

Meanwhile, Noah was still a hundred thousand Fate Lines off, his eyes looking towards the last remaining Celestial Commander that was shaking terribly as he saw the lifeless bodies of all the others.

Noah could see this commander had above 1.5 million Fate Lines, meaning that with the end of this commander's life, he would gain close to 200,000 Fate Lines as he reached the 10 million point and even possibly spill above it if that was possible!

OOOM!

A unique air began to spread out as his hand reached forward while crackling with the baleful power of Aether, the last Celestial Commander falling under his hands as…

RUMBLE!

The very air began to tremble, Noah's body shaking as a ray of golden light erupted out with him at the very center!

In the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm, Aldrich wiped away the last entering Celestial Legion as he also received the last few hundred Fate Lines that he needed, his expression ecstatic as his body also began to tremble while a golden ray of light shot from him!

One was a being that had embarked on the path of laws over hundreds of years ago, and another had just begun in the span of a few months.

Yet the one who had only spent months had actually reached the comprehension of a Supreme Law a second faster than the being that had put in the hard work of hundreds of years!

It was simply insulting at this point, but this event was the beginning of something unique in the Novus Galaxy.

For the first time in the history of this Novus Galaxy, two beings had reached the complete comprehension of a Supreme Law through their own efforts and hard work!

The rewards for such an achievement was something that only the two of them would be able to understand.

In the Fourth Infernal Realm, Noah's body had stopped shaking as he opened his eyes that shone with immense brightness, his gaze that of shock as along with comprehending 100% of the Supreme Law of Fate, he was given a shocking truth that completely shattered everything he already knew!

This truth shattered everything he knew, and then later built up a brand new reality as he turned his gaze towards the blinking Stat Panel in front of his eyes.

[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant), Grand Controller(Fate)]

[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor]

[Fate Line(s) : 10,000,000]

[Chaos Particle(s) : 3,464,245]

[Origin Core(s) : Fire-6, Water-6]

[Domain(s) : Fate,Chaos, Space, Fire, Water]

[Vitality: STAR FORGER]

[Focus: - ]

[Strength: STAR FORGER]

[Law(s) : Fate-100%,Chaos-34%,Space-8%, Fire-62%, Water-62%]

[Authority(s) : Fate Lord, Flame Lord, Water Lord]

A pristine and beautiful 10 with six zeroes was clearly displayed next to his number of Fate Lines, and a stunning 100% was shown next to Fate in the section that displayed Laws! But the more shocking thing was the addition of his second title after Infernal Lord, and it was the title labeled [Grand Controller(Fate)]!

[Grand Controller(Fate)] :: A title given to those who have completely comprehended the supreme law of fate. It grants knowledge that shines the light for the way forward, as well as granting what the title suggests: control. The type of control granted by fate is to allow the user to break away from the river of fate of their Galaxy as they gain the ability to traverse outside of it. The user also gains the unique essence of a Controller that makes many unknown possibilities into a reality.

…!

His eyes shook as he confirmed some of the knowledge he received in the form of a description, the words that said 'gain the ability to traverse outside of it' were the ones that caused him the most shock!

"I welcome the first Controller of the Novus Galaxy."

The melodious words of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out as Noah turned around to observe all the Infernal Lord bowing towards him, the 1st Infernal Lord raising her head again as she uttered more words.

"Though it seems another Controller has appeared right after. We must hurry to the Central Realm where this Controller wants to pierce through."

Her words were melodious while her expression was smiling brilliantly while looking at the Infernal Lord around her, speaking shocking words.

"Let us return home."

…!

Chapter 581: The Infernals' Home!

In the Celestial Realm that held the true name of Central Realm, Aldrich was laughing boisterously while feeling the enormous sense of power and control welling up within his body, as well as the profound knowledge and essence he received as he took the title of Grand Controller!

Such a title was reserved for those who fully comprehended a Supreme Law, with those mastering normal laws simply being termed Controllers.

As Aldrich received a new profound knowledge that showed him the path forward, his body shook with joy as the thing he sought for many years actually came to fruition. When he sensed the realm of power he had achieved, he knew that not a single being would be able to stand in his way!

The only thing he even had to be remotely careful of were the Terrors, but even those existences could not move freely and were actually the least threatening to him.

He closed his eyes as he felt the unique energy of a Grand Controller, his mind being able to see all the beings he was connected to, all the Celestials that had yet to return to the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm.

As he wanted to nip the possible problem of the 9th Infernal Lord with his ridiculous route of getting Fate Lines through Celestials in the bud, his mind focused on the millions of lines of connections that he could see in his mind as he moved to do something extremely horrific!

His closed eyes veiled the light of genius and madness as he moved to eliminate all possibilities, his mind focusing on all the lines that represented all the Celestials spread out across the Novus Galaxy, and he utilized his unique new essence as a Grand Controller to...reap their lives!

RUMBLE!

An enormous amount of essence was used as it was only a dip in the reserves of a Nebula Realm expert that had numerous Stars forged, his mind observing the many lines he could see begin to burn a golden light as across the Novus Galaxy, the beings known as Celestials shockingly felt a golden fire erupting out from their very Origins, this fire spreading out as it began to consume them in their entirety.

"GAAH!"

"WHA-"

"NOO!"

RUMBLE!

No matter the screams of the use of their power, they could not deny the authority of the Grand Controller that was connected to them, all these beings except a select few that held the title of Celestials before actually perishing into nothingness.

Some of the few that did not face this horrendous fate were The Inquisitor, Athena, who was currently under the guidance of another Grand Controller unbeknownst to Aldrich, and also the two Founders that had turned their backs to Aldrich a long time ago and did not fall under his influence, Fritz and Inuit!

But the rest of them...any and all Celestials under the rule of Aldrich saw a golden flame initiate from their very origins as they were utterly extinguished.

It was a shocking and cruel sight to see, but it was something that Aldrich did as he did not want any possibilities of the anomaly that was the 9th Infernal Lord, the puppet that his enemy was raising- he did not want this being to even stand a chance in reaching the position he just did.

Yet to his dismay and what he would soon find out- all of this cruel planning and plotting was useless, as another Grand Controller had already risen a second before he did, even though he spent less than a few months to reach a position he strove to reach for hundreds of years!

WAA!

Aldrich's eyes majestically opened as they shone with such intense splendor they folded the space nearby, his gaze turning far away from the Sanctum as he gazed in one particular direction. As the remainder of his forces burnt and died, his gaze looked excited as he thought about one singular golden barrier that had evaded him all this time.

He thought of the golden barrier that the Novus Galaxy itself set up, his heart knowing that all that he wanted would be past this barrier that he could actually get through as he had become a being at the level of a Controller!

RUMBLE!

His body shot forth at unbelievable speeds as it thundered forth towards the golden barrier he had been near too many times in the past, a barrier that he now wished to pierce through as he took everything inside of it...

As horrendous monstrosities were being conducted with the force of Celestials and its Founder shooting forth towards a certain location, Noah was glancing at the many Infernals around the Fourth Infernal Realm that had begun to disappear into particles of light, each of them being teleported into another location!

The space around the Fourth Infernal Realm was actually shaking, showing signs of destabilization that showed this Realm would actually fold within itself and disappear in just a matter of minutes, anything remaining within facing a terrible fate.

Noah did not see this himself, but this same scene was occurring across all the Infernal Realms, where even their enormous Gateways were slowly fading away from the outside space as all the Infernals spanning across the Infernal Realm were teleported away. As for where they were teleporting to?

Noah looked at the 1st Infernal Lord as he recalled her words where she said it was time for the Infernals to return back to their home. He had a strong inkling of what she meant, but his eyes locked onto her and the figure of the Infernal Lords that had already began disappearing into particles of light.

"The Infernals' home?"

"Yes. The Infernal Realms came to be because it required us to be spread out across the Novus Galaxy in order to halt the advancements of Celestials, and that problem has come to an end as we face our final fight in the next few minutes. Coincidentally, this fight will most likely begin in our home."

Her expression was one that was always smiling as she said this, coming towards Noah as she placed her fair hands on his right shoulder.

"It's been a while since you've been in the Central Realm, yes? I'm sure you're curious about what lies behind a shimmering golden barrier."

…!

Noah affirmed his thoughts as shockingly, the words of the first Infernal Lord showed that the Origins of the Infernals was actually the Celestial Realm, the same place that had paradisical environments with all sorts of Behemoths and unsolved mysteries behind an impenetrable golden barrier!

Chapter 582: Are you serious?!

In the Dark Expanse, Vladivostok had just finished communicating with the Grand Mage Edrusim as they oversaw the re-establishment of order across the areas affected by war.

Vladivostok's gaze was currently on Old Man Inuit as he was accompanying this Founder while he met with another Founder that stood in the way of Aldrich, Fritz!

The two old beings were drinking as they gazed at the wide expanse of space around them, Fritz turning towards Inuit as he spoke.

"What are we to do about Aldrich? He might do something horrendous once he achieved complete comprehension."

Inuit's gaze was cloudy as he heard this question, but he eventually smiled as he answered with a profound expression.

"Fate moves as it always has, and it seems our task will be completely shouldered by a single being."

"What?!"

Fritz looked towards Inuit with perplexed eyes as the Old Man relayed Noah's message that the final battle was something that his subordinates could not participate in, and that he would soon be facing Aldrich himself while accompanied by the Infernal Lords!

The two Founders themselves could not lift a hand to attack their own brother, nor did they have sufficient power to do so! Even Fritz was hesitant as he nearly collected the dredges of energy he had at the Nebula Realm to find where Aldrich would be going to.

"You do not need to worry. I sensed a type of strength that none of us had in the being you know as the 9th Infernal Lord. All that we need to do is to wait for the passage of time."

Old Man Inuit was actually at peace as he awaited for whatever results came, his gaze hopeful as he looked forward into the future! This was because he affirmed his beliefs in the few things he could still see while utilizing Karma and Fate.

The being that he was placing all this trust on had already achieved the title of a Controller, and was currently on the way towards a momentous event!

Numerous truths were being uncovered in the blink of an eye, with Noah watching as the 1st Infernal Lord placed her fair hand on his shoulder, his body being wrapped by a unique essence that was teleporting him into the same location as all the disappearing Infernals.

His surroundings changed instantly as he disappeared from the fourth Infernal Realm, his awareness spreading out as he sensed a familiar environment that he knew all too well!

The abundant essence of the Celestial Realm flooded towards him once more as he looked around, noticing that only the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lord were also floating on the skies around him.

Noah sensed the much more abundant environmental essence as he turned around to observe a powerful golden barrier, this being the impenetrable barrier that the Celestials could never cross, the thing that was Aldrich's obsession!

"The Fate Barrier. It's actually something that is selective on who can cross it, only those who have achieved complete comprehension in a Law being able to forcefully tear through it."

The voice of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out sweetly as she stood beside Noah. The other two Nebula Rank Infernal Lord looked in the opposite direction of the golden barrier as powerful essence began to bubble forth from them, abilities stemming from the law of Chaos and Fire beginning to surround them as they were the first to prepare, all of them already sensing an enemy coming in this direction!

But it seemed that Noah and the 1st Infernal Lord were not paying attention to this, Noah's hands reaching out towards the golden barrier as...they actually passed through with ease, as if no restriction or barrier existed there in the first place.

"If you had ventured far enough into the Central Realm in the past and come across this circular Fate Barrier, you would have actually been able to cross it with no problems as no such restrictions were placed on you."

Even more shocking information was revealed as Noah's eyes shone with luster, his hands being able to pass through the golden barrier even though he was not using his unique essence as a Grand Controller, shaking his head as apparently- if he had just ventured slightly further into the Celestial Realm in the past, he would have been able to see whatever lay behind this barrier that Aldrich strove for so much!

The 1st Infernal Lord looked around her as she spread her arms out, spinning melodiously in the skies as she had a content expression on her face.

"It has been too long since we left here, I had nearly forgotten how the air tasted."

The vibrant colors of gold and white around them painted for a fantastical paradisical surroundings that had actually begun to tremble at this moment, and it was because far in the distance, the aura of a terribly powerful being was fast approaching.

"But one final thing remains before we can move forward, and I'm ashamed to say that it will be mostly dependant on you, O 9th Infernal Lord."

The 1st Infernal Lord spoke melodiously as the space around them shook!

The only other Controller in the Novus Galaxy was approaching at this very moment, his power seemingly bubbling out at this moment as one could distinctly feel immense wrath and madness within it.

Noah understood a little about Aldrich's goal, but he did not know the madness of this being and the level of obsession he held towards it, and it was one of the reasons why such a palpating feeling of wrath was spreading out at this very moment.

After exploring the Celestial Realm and obtaining the treasures he obtained and rose in power, the golden barrier behind Noah was the one thing that Aldrich could never cross as he felt like he was locked out from something that should have been in his hands a long time ago!

It felt like something that was rightfully his was denied from him, his obsession growing stronger over time until he nearly had his goal in his grasp as he neared the golden barrier once more after obtaining the title of a Controller.

Yet as he neared, he actually felt the auras of four beings that were already there before him, individuals that had no business being there in the first place!

WAAA!

His figure materialized from golden lights as his golden eyes locked towards the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lords, and then finally landing on Noah himself.

"..."

"Are you fucking serious?"

Aldrich uttered wrathful words as he held an expression of incredulity and rage, his gaze focusing on Noah the most as even though his goal was right in front of him, even though the one thing he wanted the most was literally within reach- there were multiple beings there to stop him from getting it!

What caused the most incredulity and rage to overflow within him though was the fact that from the 9th Infernal Lord that he had made many drastic actions against, for this being that he had even destroyed all Celestials in the Novus Galaxy...he actually saw that this being had a similar aura as him!

He had the aura of a Controller!

RUMBLE!

Chapter 583 - Nebula Rank Skill Tree!

Noah stood behind the three Infernal Lords as his eyes landed on the fearsome aura that Aldrich was letting out.

The essence that was currently wrapping around Noah's body, the unique essence of a Grand Controller that would allow him to do incredible things...this same essence was overflowing in the body of Aldrich as it was even further enhanced with the backing of his Nebula Realm power.

Noah himself was still only at the Star Forging Realm, and he would have to face this powerful creature at this realm while relying on his power as a Grand Controller!

To increase his chances of winning and make sure that he won't be facing a colossal loss today, Noah was making his own plans as his clones were working tirelessly in the Time Space of the Infinite Realm, and the reward for their hard work was coming to fruition soon enough.

He had already reformed the clone destroyed by Aldrich as both of his clones worked tirelessly in the Time Space to increase the proficiencies of required skills that would be able to push The Terror of Aether-Cthulhu(Young), into the Nebula Realm stage!

"Are you ready?"

The words of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out beside him as their surroundings began to take a hue of gold, Aldrich's body visibly trembling from range as he looked toward them with the light of madness.

"Nearly."

Noah replied as he checked the progress of his skills in the stat panel, his clones going forward as they covered whatever remaining deficiencies in the proficiencies with Skill Points!

"Well then, we shall set off first."

The three Infernal Lord around him nodded to each other as the skills they had been preparing erupted forth, their figures turning into streaks of light as they thundered towards Aldrich!

The 1st Infernal Lord had her figure begin to glow with the colors of shining white and black, the laws of chaos and light swirling around her in balance as she also shot forth like an arrow.

"Why won't you abominable creatures leave me be?!"

RUMBLE!

Aldrich's shout came at this instant as his power overflowed out. His rage palpable as he was being stopped yet again when he was this close to his goals!

As these powerful figures shot towards each other, Noah stayed behind as his eyes finally saw the change occurring in his stat panel.

After having to use up over 100 skill points, he was able to bring the one and only skill from the stage of the Star Forging Realm and into the stage of a Nebula!

From the lowly stage of [Amorphous Space Beast], all the way to the [Terror of Aether-Cthulhu(Young)], the next stage that Noah chose was termed [Madness of Old, The Terror of Aether- Cthulhu]!

As a space rending battle began in the Central Realm of the Novus Galaxy, Noah laid his eyes on the Nebula Rank skill tree that he would be using to stand against Aldrich.

NEBULA [Amorphous Space Beast] (15/15) :: Abilities- Spatial Cage(5/5), Destabilize(5/5), Shattered Star(5/5), and Miniature Space(5/5). [Lesser Cthulhu] (45/45) :: Additional Abilities- Morph(5/5), Child of Space(5/5), Portals of Terror(5/5), and Sever(5/5). [Kin of Terror] (60/60) :: Additional Abilities- Aether Reinforcement (5/5), Multiplicative Ray Support (5/5), Triple on Cast Support (5/5), Lunacy Inducement (5/5) [Fledgling Aether Terror] (75/75) :: Additional Abilities- Aether Emission (5/5), Aether Chain Support (5/5), Fatal Ailment Support (5/5), Size Distortion (5/5) [Juvenile Terror] (100/100) :: Unique Being (5/5), Compounded Terror Support (5/5), Unnatural Size Support (5/5) Tentacle Manifestation (5/5).

[Terror of Aether] (5/5) :: An inborn ability granted to the special existences known as Terrors by the Novus Galaxy. For an extremely high price and restrictions, this ability normally granted 100% comprehension in the law of Aether. As the current user has not paid this price nor any of the restrictions and yet still holds this title, only 50% of comprehension in the Law of Aether shall be granted. The technique of cultivating Aether, [Disciple of Aether], is also granted.

[Star Caller] (5/5) :: Unstable Stars of hundreds of miles are called forth as they descend upon the enemies of the Terror of Aether.

[Madness Hegemony] (5/5) :: The surrounding space is changed into an environment familiar to the Terror of Aether, the surrounding thousands of miles turning being occupied with unstable Aether and thousands of Portals of Terror that release Rays of Aether which seek out their enemies. All abilities of the Terror of Aether are enhanced by 1000% in this space.

[Anomalous Size Support] (5/5) :: The Aether Star Form that the Terror of Aether can assume is further enhanced, allowing for a growth of up to a few thousand miles. The strength of the user's origin will determine the limit of the possible size.

[Law Genius] (5/5) :: Being a creature closely tied with laws, a Terror is granted the ability to traverse the laws of the universe at 100% speed.

[Origin Destruction] (5/5) :: Built for a purpose, their last ability is one that reflects the lengths that Terrors will go to achieve their objective. [Origin Destruction] is built into all Terrors as it allows them to face True Death that will in turn release an attack capable of killing any beings at the Nebula Rank, with a few exceptions.

"..."

Six abilities instead of the usual four appeared, each of them having their own terrifying aspects as Noah focused on the secrets that the descriptions of the skills displayed.

The descriptions told him information about the terrors that nobody could have ever imagined, where just the first skill showed that each Terror was actually already at the level of a Controller, with their first ability giving them 100% comprehension in the type of law their origins were geared towards!

A shocking skill concept! A shocking skill tree!

Chapter 584 - Implications of a Terrifying Future

RUMBLE!

Within his body, Noah had begun feeling an explosion of Aether that permeated around his very Origin, and it did not just stop there as destructive Aether which should have shredded apart any being felt like the most blissful energy coursing through him, this Aether going on to also wrap around his Fire and Water Origin Cores, as well as the Chaos Particles and Fate Lines that dwelled within his body!

All of these different types of essence were wrapped singularly with Aether, each of them becoming more active as the strength and power they gave off more than doubled instantly.

[The Terror of Aether] ability was taking full effect as the 50% comprehension of the law of Aether was added onto Noah's stat panel, his body feeling this abundant essence of Aether permeating throughout as he felt even more explosive strength rumble throughout. His heart shook as he continued to read over the descriptions of the newly gained abilities.

The skill tree in front of Noah's eyes was simply too eye-catching, and it was supposed to be so as it represented the Nebula Realm of abilities that only a few creatures had achieved in the Novus Galaxy!

The abilities present in the skill tree displayed the unique strength and mysteries surrounding the Terrors that only made Noah ask more questions the more that he read.

Aside from the spectacular gifts of [Law Genius], [Madness Hegemony] [Anomalous Size Support], and even [Star Caller], - [The Terror of Aether] and [Origin Destruction] skills left many questions in Noah's mind!

This was because as he read their description that talked about purpose and how he knew they did not move to stand in the way of Aldrich, he understood that their purpose was actually...not something within the Novus Galaxy!

The Terrors that were built by the entity that had stopped censoring the descriptions of Noah's abilities, the Novus Galaxy itself- these Terrors were actually creatures made while already having the title of Controllers, their true purpose being something that would scare anyone once they thought about what it really represented.

This was even more so when one looked at the ability of [Origin Destruction], as it showed the unflinching loyalty that these beings had to protect and achieve their purpose!

RUMBLE!

Noah calmed his raging heart that continued to receive more and more information unlike never before in just the past few hours, his gaze going up front where three Nebula Rank Infernal Lords were matching a wrathful Aldrich, and they were actually losing!

Three Nebula Realm creatures, yet they could not stand against a single being of the same realm. This was because the being they were up against had the identity of a Grand Controller, a being that had fully comprehended a Supreme Law.

Every attack that Aldrich released contained in it the essence unique to Grand Controllers, a type of essence that was extremely penetrative in attack and extremely robust in defense when against any beings that did not achieve the same level of a Grand Controller.

If the essence of such a Controller was quantified by Noah's system, it would show enormous percentages in terms of offense and defense that varied in the thousands depending on which type of law it was!

CRACK!

This created for the shocking scene in front of Noah's eyes where even the 1st Infernal Lord who was utilizing the laws of Chaos and Light in conjunction was being pushed back while simply falling into a defensive position.

In the skies of the Central Ream, Aldrich was staying still as he did not even dodge the incoming attacks being laid out by three Nebula Realm experts, numerous projections simply being formed in the skies that countered all of these attacks while continuously pushing back the Infernal Lords.

"You truly do not know the weight of your actions! You truly do not comprehend who you stand against! |PIERCE THROUGH|!"

RUMBLE!

A unique speech was released from Aldrich as he used one of the abilities unique to a Controller. This ability allowed one to utilize the unique essence that came with their law in terms of speech, their words carrying their intent as it was manifested in shocking ways that altered the surrounding laws, using the essence of the Controller to achieve their wish!

Aldrich had screamed for his attack to pierce through, so his golden palm that was hundreds of meters in size and smashing towards the three Infernal Lords did just that- it pierced through all their defenses as a deadly blow was dealt.

CLAP!

PAH! PAH! PAH!

Three figures smashed into the hard earth of the Central Realm as their bodies were ravaged by the golden essence of fate, the 2nd and 3rth Infernal Lord coming out of their deep holes in sorry states as the 1st Infernal Lord came out thereafter.

She wiped the dust off of her as the wrathful essence of fate continuously destroying her body was also reduced at the same time, her gaze actually turning towards Noah at this moment as she spoke with a smiling expression.

"Are you ready now?"

The eyes of the beat-up Infernal Lord looked over to Noah as an unknown light flowed through them, Aldrich's eyes also wrathfully turning towards the being very close to the golden barrier that he had wanted to cross for so long.

Each of them were looking towards Noah as they all knew a singular truth- A Grand Controller could only be matched by another Grand Controller!

This was why Aldrich had done all he could to achieve this title, and why his madness had exploded even further when he saw that somehow, the anomaly that was the 9th Infernal Lord had somehow reached the same realm as well.

Thus, all their eyes were on Noah as he moved away from the golden barrier and moved towards the position where space itself was shaking from the might released by a single being.

The light of wrath in Aldrich's eyes was overflowing as he stared at this being that seemed to be at the epitome of calm, no emotions across his face whatsoever!

One was at the Nebula Realm while holding complete comprehension of the law of fate, the other had comprehended the law of fate to the same degree, but was only at the Star Forging Realm.

Only at the Star Forging Realm, and yet he had unlocked an ability that only those at the rank of Nebula could utilize...and he ridiculously had enough mana that would put any beings at the Nebula Realm to shame!

Among these two beings, just who was bound to come out on top?!

Chapter 585: Controller Against Controller!

Aldrich's eyes were literally blazing with golden flames as he stared down towards Noah, his eyes seemingly trying to peer through this being entirely! His mouth moved as his power continued to bubble and overspill wildly.

"You were playing the role of Crixus and 9th Infernal Lord, what are you, really?"

WAA!

Majesty was coursing through this voice as it seemed to be compelling the responder to speak, but Noah calmly looked forth as the unique essence of a Grand Controller began to spread across his body while replying.

"Noah Omont. Just someone that comes from a small blue planet."

RUMBLE!

"Haha! Good!"

Wrathful laughter was all that met Noah as the power Aldrich released reached a tipping point at this moment.

"[Celestial King's Majesty]."

OOONG!

The color of gold overflowed in front of Noah as the figure of Aldrich was adorned with a grand visage, a golden-colored outline erupting from him as it grew tens of miles, this visage he released having three faces as one looked forward facing him, with the other two facing left and right!

This golden-looking incarnation reached out as it grasped an enormous pillar that seemed to be a staff, where one could actually discern that this golden pillar was actually made up of...Fate Lines! Hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines came together to create this enormous staff, the golden incarnation surrounding Aldrich smashing it towards Noah as the three faces eerily carried different expressions.

RUMBLE!

It was a single strike thundering down, a strike from a weapon that was somehow created from Fate Lines and wielded by an incarnation multiple miles long. Yet as this strike thundered down, Noah breathed out as he closed his eyes, the time around him seemingly moving in slow motion as breathed out and felt the aura of a Grand Controller.

It was a type of essence that had a myriad of uses, but he uttered in his mind a single word at this time as he sought only one, as he formed an intent!

|Defense|

SHIING!

Adhering to his command, the essence of a Grand Controller erupted from him as it streaked towards his index finger, becoming concentrated in this location as he actually rose his finger up to meet the enormous miles long golden staff!

Even the eyes of the three watching Infernal Lords opened in surprise at this as they saw no flashy skills or transformations, simply a shimmering golden light rising to Noah's finger as he actually raised it to come in contact with the staff that was smashing down.

"..."

BZZT...CRACK! BOOM!

Space shattered as at the point of contact, Noah actually was not even pushed a single step back, those raising their eyes to the skies being able to see a distinct figure stopping an enormous staff...with a single finger!

Shocking!

Powerful!

Boastful!

These were all the words that would come into one's mind as they watched this, the enormous staff made of fate lines stopped in place as a terrifying friction that continued to split apart space continued. Meanwhile, Noah felt what should have been an enormous weight bearing down on him, and yet the essence of a Grand Controller that he had focused while uttering |Defense| made it so that he actually did not feel a thing.

This was the power of a Controller! This was the perk one received after comprehending an entire law! A unique essence Noah had only just begun exploring the uses of!

BZZZT!

Aldrich raised the staff up as his golden eyes inside the incarnation stared coldly towards the being that had stopped his attack with a single finger.

This was a stronger attack than when Aldrich even faced the three Nebula Realm Infernal Lords that could actualy not even stand up against him, and yet Noah had defended it effortlessly! This was the gulf of strength that was created when one fully comprehended a law, this was the true meaning of the title of a Controller!

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lord knew this as they simply watched on, knowing they would be of no help whatsoever when it came to beings on a completely different type of strength!

The light of wrath had only continued to grow stronger in Aldrich's as he saw the seamless use of the essence of a Grand Controller that would take enormous amounts of mana to utilize from the hands of the 9th Infernal Lord, his mouth moving thereafter as he simply made his next move.

"[Fusion- Celestial Emperor]"

RUMBLE!

Essence wildly filled the skies as the incarnation of gold around Aldrich became much more solid, his small body within actually turning into particles of light as he fused with the incarnation, enormous runic circles beginning to swim around this enormous golden body as it rose to over 100 miles!

The body, the weapon, everything around the enormous golden figure became more solid as it looked to be a creature made of gold, yet a grotesque head that contained three faces with expressions of rage, happiness, and mercy were eerily overseeing everything around it as three pairs of eyes looked over the small figure of a single being.

Noah's gaze also looked back as he reveled in the ingenuities of a Grand Controller's essence, nodding his head as he saw the enormous figure that was over 100 miles large. He was only at the Star Forging Realm, yet he had been able to stop the strike of a being at the Nebula Realm who was also a Grand Controller!

It required an enormous amount of mana to command the Grand Controller's essence to move, but he had no such worries as it wasn't even a drop in the wide reserves of the Realm he was connected to.

As he saw the enormous golden three-faced figure of Aldrich though, he smiled once more as he confirmed in his mind...that he actually stood a chance of winning!

He also smiled because when it came to size...well size was the one he was not lacking in.

"[Aether Lord's Authority] [Fate Lord's Authority]. [Fire Lord's Authority]. [Water Lord's Authority]."

RUMBLE!

Four different authorities erupted out around him, even the newly gained Authority of the Aether Lord because of the singular ability of the Terror of Aether! But this wasn't all as he continued.

"[Aether Star Form]."

RUMBLE!

"[Ancient Blood Scion]."

RUMBLE!

"[Arch Demon Lord Transformation]."

WAAA!

"...[Madness Hegemony]."

A ridiculous spamming of skills!

Authorities, Transformations, and the most recently gained [Madness Hegemony] that transformed all the surroundings into a realm of Aether as it allowed the eruption of thousands of Portals of Terror that released Aether Rays which sought out their enemy! All of this went on to create for something wondrous.

What was made was simply…

It was simply magisterial!

Chapter 586 - I just wanted one thing!

The Celestial Realm had a truly beautiful environment.

When one traversed through it, they would normally see visibly colorful essence particles floating around in the surroundings, even the plants having a tinge of essence as they created for a paradisiacal atmosphere. This was especially so in the region close to the golden barrier that restricted the entry of many beings, it was simply a wondrous location to observe!

But currently, this location had actually been turned into a hellish environment where baleful Aether was freely permeating through as numerous Portals of Terror began to appear, a purple-blue hue overtaking everything in the surroundings.

The enormous figure of the solidified Celestial Emperor that Aldrich had assumed was surrounded by the tendrils of Aether as his fingers reached out and played with it with cold pairs of eyes, the three faces on the head of the incarnation he had fused with crying, laughing, and stern at the same time as his body released a golden glow to push this Aether away!

At the same time, Portals of Aether that actually released Aether Rays erupted towards him, eating up at the golden energy he released as Aldrich placed his entire focus on the monstrous transformation in front of his eyes.

The figure of Noah had activated numerous transformation abilities, but the Aether Star Form took all precedence as he took the enormous form of a Terror, but this time the form was actually more humanoid as the other transformations came into play!

The numerous tentacles had come together as they wrapped around each other to form into the muscles and form of a humanoid being at the exact same size of 100 miles similar to Aldrich. This form had purple-gold wings erupting from its back, a monstrous head with devilish horns erupting out as the pointed ends of these horns actually had a swirling ancient runic sigil that palpated with Aether.

This runic sigil atop the two horns was the condensed [Aether Lord's Authority], continuously rotating as it released terrifying levels of Aether to permeate throughout the huge body!

There was an enormous golden runic sigil that represented the [Fate Lord's Authority] swirling around Noah's chest, a fiery red sigil in the form of a tattoo moving across his right hand, and a shimmering blue sigil also in the form of a tattoo swimming on his left hand.

His entire body was an assortment of colors and essence as his eyes opened up blood red, animalistic pupils brightly displayed within as fearsome sound erupted from its tentacle-covered mouth!

ROOOAAR!

OOOM!

Space shook as the waves of Aether, Fate, Chaos, Fire, and Water elements rushed out in droves, Noah actually not even taking the form of thousands of miles as he simply matched the same size that Aldrich displayed at this moment!

His left hand opened as a minuscule purple dagger appeared within it, this dagger enlarging until it stood perfectly within his hand releasing a purple sheen of light. The [Dagger of Time] had appeared once more as the essence of the Law of Time permeated out.

His right hand also opened as an enormous [Trident of the Sea] appeared, its pointed ends even ripping apart the space around it as on Noah's body, the [Hydromancer's Mantle] also appeared to thinly cover the grotesque monstrosity lying within, a Sea Domain erupting out at this moment as Noah just continued layering skills on top of skills!

If one actually took the time to measure the percentages of boosts that his armor alone provided, then to the domains he set up around him, then to the boosts displayed just in the description of the Trident of the Sea while within a domain of water, then to the authorities...to his abilities from multiple skill trees- there were essentially so many factors going on to simply grant Noah a crazy numerical value in terms of how much his abilities were boosted, and this was what he was using to match the strength of a Nebula Realm being!

This was how he bridged the gap between them, even though he didn't know exactly how many stars Aldrich had formed within his Nebula at this moment!

His transformation finished resplendently as he breathed out, tendrils of Aether releasing from his mouth as he did so.

Even before he attacked, the entire landscape had been changed to a destructive one where much of the space was shattered, Portals of Terror continuing to automatically appear as they released more and more rays of Aether.

Aldrich glanced at all of this as his voice boomed out coldy while feeling the power of this being standing in front of him!

"You know, in my whole life I've only ever truly wanted one thing."

RUMBLE!

His voice carried with it waves of power as Noah saw the essence of a Grand Controller building up around Aldrich's body.

"It's to simply pass that barrier behind you and get my hands on what is truly mine, on the treasures that were promised only to me!"

RUMBLE!

"I found this Celestials Realm!"

"I explored every single stone and river!"

"All I want...is to just pass through that barrier and claim the rest!"

RUMBLE!

Awe-inspiring essence erupted out with his words, Noah's eyes squinting as he saw the essence of a Grand Controller forming into a sharp edge around Aldrich's enhanced staff that was made up of Fate Lines, which let him know that Aldrich was using an intent of |Attack| or something similar while utilizing his essence.

'|Robust Defense|'

He thought simple words himself as droves of mana went towards activating and utilizing the unique essence of Grand Controller, golden square slabs of essence beginning to form all around his body as they prepared a ridiculous level of defense for the coming battle!

"Even though my goal is right in front of my eyes...something always pops up to stand in my way."

The three faces on Aldrich's Celestial Emperor form each had their own emotions as he pointed his staff layered with hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines towards the transformed figure holding an enormous Trident of the Sea and a Dagger of Time.

Noah glanced at the wrathful Aldrich as he truly addressed this terrifying genius for the first time in his life.

"I'm not just here to stand in your way. I'm here to take everything away from you."

His voice calmly boomed out as he taunted this terrifying creature to cause even more instability within its psyche, and the effect was just that!

"..."

RUMBLE!

A flash of gold, and a flash of mixtures of gold, purple, red, blue...all sorts of colors rushed towards each other at this moment.

Aldrich's faces were filled with wrath as he thundered forth, the battle between two Grand Controllers in the Novus Galaxy fully going underway as the mere impacts themselves continuously shattered space!

One was utilizing their unique essence for the intent of |Attack|, another was using it for |Robust Defense|.

It was the first time each of them were learning more on how to utilize the perks of a Grand Controller, but one would be shocked if they realized that even during all of this, the one known as Noah Osmont had not yet even used all his power!

Chapter 587 - Flung out of the Central Realm!

A battle of terrifying proportions was underway in the Central Realm of the Novus Galaxy.

CRACK!

Space shattered with every point of contact as two figures over 100 miles large smashed into each other, the paradisiacal space of the Central Realm continuing to be overturned as thousands of Portals of Terror releasing horrendous Aether rays continued to appear around the battlefield, making it so that anyone at the Star Forging Realm or lower would perish if they were in this location!

As of this moment, more than an hour had passed since the two figures at the levels of Grand Controllers began fighting!

ROAR!

Any nearby Behemoths scrambled to get out the way whenever the battle of these two figures changed locations as they moved across the Central Realm, with there being unlucky Behemoths every now and then who could not escape in time as their bodies were shredded into mincemeat instantly.

It was a battle of immense proportions and would continue for quite a while, but very few beings knew that it was even occurring at this moment, with many of the figures of the Novus Galaxy still moving about their lives!

In the Infinite Realm, the curvaceous Elena was commanding Vampyres as they reestablished grandeur to the expansive landmass that used to be the Ancient Blood World.

In another location, an Emperor Penguin was teleporting multiple times across an area filled with elemental particles of the Law of Space as he faced the powerful Undead Legion under Barbatos while dodging the sharp blade of Kazuhiko that was shimmering with a dark light!

"This is all an arrogant penguin like you has to offer? Come on!"

The Harbingers continued to spar as they tried to raise their power higher, a multitude of beings in the Infinite Realm also moving as this wondrous Realm continued to be developed and enhanced into something unbelievable.

Above the blue seas on the land that used to be Noah's homeworld, the continental-sized Realm Dreadnaught he had taken from the hands of Celestials was floating. On this Dreadnaught, numerous figures of Atlanteans were moving with highly advanced technological equipment as the wonders of this vessel were scanned with the goal of reproducing it themselves!

Deep beneath the sea in a region that had turned into a Fate Law Space, The Inquisitor Athena was adorned in a golden armor as she faced the Kraken and other Calamities of the Sea in a spar, the former War Princess choosing to get to know the beings she affected the most as she sparred with them.

"Hmph!"

Blades of liberation were thundering down as Athena was reinforced in the Fate Law Space, the Kraken and other Calamities weaving around the attacks as they released their own. All of them continued to train and reinforce their strength as they strove to reach greater heights!

RUMBLE!

In another region, one could see Steel Mikhail and Queen Adelaide observing the harvesting of wide fields of resplendent vegetation that was brimming with essence, all the produce here being collected here and across the millions of other fields being distributed out to the billions of beings dwelling in the Infinite Realm.

It was truly a land of wonders where the lives of many were just beginning.

To protect all of this, Noah was currently facing the wrathful Aldrich in the Central Realm as he fully got in the groove of utilizing the unique essence of a Grand Controller!

|Pierce|

BOOM!

The Trident of Sea thundered forth as it gained a terrifying new piercing force, blowing a chunk out of the golden staff that Aldrich wielded.

|Strengthen| |Destroy|

RIIIIP!

Two more qualities were layered on top as when it smashed towards Aldrich this time, the entire golden staff made of Fate Lines was ruptured apart!

Noah felt his heart rapidly beating as he utilized the essence of a Grand Controller more and more, his unlimited mana reserves not making him worry about managing his power as Aldrich was, and he simply continued to experiment on what he could do with this unique power in his hands!

Aldrich let go of the remainders of the shattered golden staff as he moved back emotionally, his hand stretching out as another staff reappeared in his hands. His mouth moved as he uttered unique words himself.

|Unbreakable|

BOOM!

The battle resumed once more as their two figures streaked across the skies, constantly shattering space as they weaved in and out of the void.

But in the middle of all of this, one would be able to notice that on all the moves exchanged- Noah was only testing things out so far and had not moved seriously, while Aldrich was slowly losing the edge in terms of momentum!

The more time that passed, the more familiar Noah became with his new power as his fearsome form of a horned Terror being reinforced by 4 different Law Authorities pressed towards the three-faced Celestial Emperor.

Occasionally, the purple Dagger in his left hand would shine with a purple light as Noah utilized the abilities of the Dagger of Time, and they afforded him an extra second or two where he could turn back time even with Aldrich actively defending against it!

BOOM!

At this juncture, Noah glanced at his surroundings as he saw that he had pushed Aldrich far from the earth of the Central Realm. They were now extremely high in the skies of this wondrous realm as they could both feel the boundaries of it.

This was a unique sight that only Controllers had, where they were powerful enough to see the bounds of a realm, and even capable enough to leave it that way, not needing to utilize portals or doorways!

As Noah saw the thick barrier of transparent light that represented the boundary of the Central Realm, he breathed out as his body bubbled with power, his enemy doing the same as an irreconcilable look of wrath and anger continued to permeate his three faces.

RUMBLE!

World shaking essence was utilized as Noah called forth for multiple intents from his essence.

|Explosive Strength| |Space Breaking| |Unavoidable|

WAA!

Aldrich's numerous pupils dilated as he observed the golden essence of a Grand Controller utilized so freely, the enemy in front of him continuing to senselessly use it multiple times as if the enormous energy requirement for such a thing did not exist!

He saw the three-pronged Trident streaking towards him as it carried horrendous qualities, with this attack not even being avoidable as it seemed to follow him wherever he went.

"Wretchedness! |DEFENSE|!"

BOOM!

The strike found its target as Aldrich could only hold on briefly, the enormous force behind the attack overpowering him thereafter as his figure shot forth like a cannonball, smashing into the boundary of the Central Realm!

...SWISH!

His figure actually did not stop as the force was terrifying enough to smash him through the layers of space, one of his faces shattering as shockingly...he passed through the boundary of the Central Realm and was actually flung out!

WAA!

Noah did not let up as his figure streaked towards the same area of the boundary Aldrich was forced through, also leaving the Central Realm as he located his enemy with dents and cracks throughout his 100 miles large body in the vast space of the Novus Galaxy!

Chapter 588 - Centuries of planning turned into nothing!

RUMBLE!

Wild essence still moved as Aldrich floated in the starry space, energy weaving across his body as he healed himself.

|Regeneration|

His body was rapidly healing as his eyes filled with the light of madness and wrath looked at the enemy in front of him, an enemy who seemed to not even be paying full attention to him as he looked towards their surroundings!

When they pierced through the boundary of the Central Realm, they actually did not appear in the Light or Dark Expanse, but had been flung out in the region of the Letalis Expanse!

Noah confirmed this as he sensed the unfamiliar air that was different from both the Light and Dark Expanse, as well as noticing the grandness of the surrounding stars that were unbelievably larger than many that he came across in the Light and Dark Expanse.

On this day, he had actually come into the Letalis Expanse, and it was because he left the Central Realm through forceful means as the coordinates they broke through were in the bounds of the Letalis Expanse!

"I just wanted one thing..."

RUMBLE!

Aldrich's voice boomed out as his body came back together, the voice carrying out a tinge of sadness amidst all the anger and wrath as he was flung out even further from his goal in the Central Realm.

"Why can you not let me be? Why can you not just be gone?!"

RUMBLE!

His figure shot forth as he released deadly attacks, Noah using his Trident of the Sea and Dagger of time to defend as looked towards Aldrich coldly.

This Celestial Founder had long ago felt the pace of the battle and how Noah seemed to be using abilities and the unique essence of a Grand Controller over and over again with ease, not even worrying about the usage of mana as if it wasn't even a factor to consider!

"For years I have strived..."

BOOM!

"For centuries I have planned!"

BOOM!

"Why is it that you can just come out of nowhere and take it all from me? Why?!"

His three faces were filled with wrath as he recklessly attacked, Noah defending all of his strikes as he saw that shockingly, this being at the Nebula Realm could be handled by him just from his identity as a Grand Controller and the use of a Nebula Rank skill tree while backed by his nearly Infinite Mana!

Thus, his curious heart wasted time no longer as he freely released his energy, his body beginning to expand as he became even larger than he currently was.

OOOM!

Mana was unreservedly used as it went into his Aether Star Form that was combined by numerous other transformations, his size expanding past 500 miles as he instantly became 5 times as large as Aldrich, and he just continued to expand ever higher as he took on a titanus form!

RUMBLE!

Aldrich watched on with apathetic eyes as the enemy prevented him from achieving his grand goals expanded even further in power, his heart pained at the level of unfairness as ultimately, the figure actually grew to be 10 times as large as him.

At this moment, he actually seemed small when comparing himself to this being, the red eyes staring at him with an obscene level of calm simply making him angrier as the seconds passed! But as if this was not enough, Aldrich felt the appearance of two new figures, each of them with identical faces as in the mystical Letalis Expanse they were in, two more figures carrying the same face of the 9th Infernal Lord he was battling appeared.

RUMBLE!

He observed as these creatures leaked out the same energy of a Grand Controller as the enormous being in front of him, the bodies of these two also exploding outwards as their power began rising towards the same level as the being Aldrich was just battling!

"Haha!"

At this point, Aldrich actually laughed angrily at the ridiculous sight opening up in front of him, at the complete nonsense of this creature that was sent to oppose him!

He was already only matching his enemy before he expanded in size, and now two more beings just like him had appeared simply, and he knew at this point that his aims would never be achieved.

It was a sad and extremely demoralizing moment as one realized that all of their life's effort, all the blood, sweat, and tears they put into their lives- all of them were turned null because of a single being!

"Truly ridiculous! Truly unfair!"

His gaze was irreconcilable as he said this, realizing why Fritz had given up when he knew their enemy was the Novus Galaxy. But he still wanted to try! He still wanted to obtain all the treasures within this galaxy before he broke out of the cage and explored the grander universe!

Yet...he was denied at every turn as at this moment, a nonsensical enemy that defied all reason was sent to stop him!

The light of madness in his eyes was slowly overtaking everything as he glanced at the three enormous figures around him, a forlorn sigh escaping his mouth as he voiced out sadly.

"So be it!"

RUMBLE!

|Extreme Speed|! |Acceleration|!

Aldrich used up a large amount of his mana as he utilized the essence of a Grand Controller twice, his body turning into a streak as he shot forth faster than the speed of light and continued even faster above the encirclement of three Noahs!

...!

Noah instantly shot out thereafter as he experienced the extreme speed and instant acceleration that allowed Aldrich to be hundreds of miles away instantly, his own bodies utilizing his unique essence as he chased towards him.

Far in front where Aldrich's figure continued to streak forth, he could hear a voice of complete madness and immense hatred ringing out.

"If I cannot have what I want, nobody else can."

RUMBLE!

Even more mana was being used as Aldrich accelerated forward even faster, Noah noticing that he was shooting forth in a particular direction that was actually extremely dangerous!

He termed it dangerous because at the speeds they were going, they would actually come to another barrier some time very soon.

This was a barrier that he normally would not even be able to sense or understand in the past, but as a Grand Controller, he knew exactly what it was!

It was the barrier that represented the bounds of the Novus Galaxy in the area they were at in the Letalis Expanse, a location where one could choose to pass through as they moved on to a grander stage.

But why exactly was Aldrich rushing towards the boundary of the Novus Galaxy while spewing out such foreboding words?!

RUMBLE!

"If it is destruction you want, then destruction you shall have!"

The wrathful voice of a Founder feeling extremely wronged rang out, his eyes blazing with light as he shot towards the bounds of the Novus Galaxy while planning something shocking!

Chapter 589 - The Bell Has Been Rung! I

In the Letalis Expanse, the powerful Terrors dwelling within had sensed the appearance of two auras at the same level as them, the auras of Controllers!

This in itself was a shocking finding as it meant that in their Novus Galaxy, more beings like them had appeared!

It would normally be a grand event and a cause for celebration, yet the Terrors actually felt a sense of foreboding when these auras appeared, their intuition telling them something they could not discern.

RUMBLE!

The enormous Terror of Aether opened its star-sized eyes as the aura it always released to monitor the boundaries of the Novus Galaxy in this Letalis Expanse where the barrier was actually the thinnest contracted slightly, trying to focus on the auras of the two appearing Controllers.

One of the auras was very similar, making the Terror feel as if he was looking at his own energy signature, but there were distinct differences with it. The other was foreign and had a distinct coldness that caused one to feel distaste.

The two Controllers had only appeared in one location briefly before two more energy signatures appeared, and then they all began shooting forth at high speeds!

The Terror of Aether had continued observing these figures briefly, but his gaze turned stern soon enough as he saw their direction was in a straight line towards the boundaries of the Novus Galaxy!

OOOOM

Essence erupted around the Terror as it adopted a stern expression, seeing these figures actually continuing in this direction as it affirmed its thoughts. The sense of foreboding seemed to come from this as the Terror trusted in its intuition and also began moving towards the same direction as the newly appearing Controllers.

Shockingly, the Terror of Aether was not the only one as the two other Terrors dwelling within the Letalis Expanse also began moving at this moment, all of their intuitions screaming something indiscernible to them!

RUMBLE!

Noah's three bodies continued to chase towards the figure of Aldrich, each of his bodies occasionally teleporting as they tried to get their hands on a being who was utilizing all of his essence as a Grand Controller to run.

Noah assumed that Aldrich had used his essence with the intent of speed, velocity, or something similar that allowed him to forget everything else as the figure of this Nebula Realm expert continued to slip from his hands!

His gaze was stern as he did not know what Aldrich wanted to do, so he simply continued to give chase while utilizing his unique essence.

|Extreme Speed| |Surpassing Light|

SHAA!

Streaks of light were the only things barely visible as they thundered forth even faster than light, Noah's hands flinging out as an ability was also cast!

[Star Caller].

RUMBLE!

The skill of the Terror of Aether activated as multiple unstable stars hundreds of miles in size began to appear in front of Aldrich, the Founder expertly avoiding them as his golden figure even smashed through one!

Skill after skill was used, but Aldrich continued to use his essence only for running as they soon neared the extremely thick boundary of the Novus Galaxy.

The boundary was among the thickest that Noah had ever seen so far, being tens of miles wide as it adopted a shimmering black color.

It was a barrier that seemed to blend in with the space around it, being extremely thick yet thin at the same time as only those at the level of Controllers could discern it or even do anything when it came to this barrier.

Having the identity of a Grand Controller allowed a being to be able to leave their galaxy and actually survive while traveling outside of it, so Noah moved even faster as his three bodies tried to grasp onto Aldrich before he came in contact with this barrier!

RUMBLE!

A golden light began to emulate from the body of the Celestial Founder at this moment as it seemed his power was rising even higher, Noah's senses shocked to find that Aldrich had without a second thought actually began burning his very Origin as a source of strength.

THUMP!

His hands reached the thick barrier at this moment as his enormous 100 miles incarnation holding three faces turned towards Noah, its body ballooning up as a small figure blazing in gold light came out from within!

Aldrich appeared in his human figure as his right hand lay on the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, his left hand pushing out the incarnation he had been in as it transformed into a thick golden barrier that covered Aldrich and the portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy he was in contact with. Noah was already near as he used his essence while forming an intent.

'|Break|!'

BOOM!

Noah's Trident of the Sea instantly smashed onto the golden barrier Alrich laid out as trembles spread across it, the power Aldrich was releasing right now as he burned his very Origin being extremely fearsome!

This was the burning of an Origin that was first at the Nebula Realm, and also of a being holding the title of Grand Controller! Noah had no doubt that Aldrich would have been able to heavily injure him if he directed attacks while burning his origin like this, but this Founder had actually chosen to run away as he came in contact with the barrier of the Novus Galaxy!

"Remember that it was you that pushed me to do this. That it was your own fault things ended like this!"

Aldrich's voice came out at this moment as it contained a mixture of sadness and extreme lunacy, his eyes shaking brightly as he pushed all of his power towards his hands while uttering a single intent.

"|SHATTER|"

RUMBLE!

...!

"What?!"

Noah looked towards the figure of Aldrich incredulously as this being was not actually trying to pierce through the veil and leave the Novus Galaxy, but was doing something far sinister as he apparently planned to shatter the portion of the boundary of the Novus Galaxy he was in contact with!

But...what would this accomplish?

Noah did not know what the aim of Aldrich was as he did this, but he utilized his immense mana reserves as he laid out his own intents while trying to break through the golden barrier of a Grand Controller that was burning his very Origin.

|Ultimate Penetration|! |Shatter|!

RUMBLE!

Enormous units of mana were absorbed in order to utilize his essence as a Grand Controller to make possible what his intent wanted, the Trident of the Sea shining with a piercing light as it smashed into Aldrich's golden barrier again, but Noah was actually able to hear the shattering of two barriers at this moment.

CRACK! CRACK!

One was the golden barrier he broke that Aldrich had set up, the other was the portion of the miles-long barrier that represented the boundary of the Novus Galaxy, where he could now see a portion of the barrier multiple miles long and in an octagonal shape...was actually shattered!

...!

Chapter 590 - The Bell Has Been Rung! II

At the very precipice of the Novus Galaxy, in the corner of the Letalis Expanse where only Controllers could discern an area where the bounds of this Galaxy passed, two figures were staring at a broken space.

"Haha! Haha!"

Wild laughter that reeked of madness flowed out from the one responsible as the area that he had destroyed vibrated intensely!

VOOOM!

An extremely strong absorbing force leaked out from the portion where Aldrich had broken the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, Noah's essence forming into tendrils of Aether and reaching out as it grabbed around Aldrich who was about to get sucked in through the octagonal shattered space.

"Haha! Do not blame me!"

Wrathful and incoherent laughter was all that came from Aldrich at this moment as his body seemed nearly depleted of essence after stopping Noah's advance and shattering a portion of a barrier of an entire Galaxy.

Noah looked towards the shattered octagonal space as what he saw behind it was truly terrifying, his awareness barely being able to spread out a few meters as all he saw was immense blackness!

The space immediately outside the bounds of the Novus Galaxy was terrifyingly empty and black!

"What did you do? What purpose does this serve?!"

Noah's voice rang out coldly towards Aldrich as the Founder currently had his arms and legs stretched out in four directions, the force from the void outside the Novus Galaxy threatening to swallow him whole and rip him apart the moment that Noah released him.

Aldrich did not nearly have enough essence that would allow him to actually utilize the abilities of a Grand Controller to traverse outside of it, yet Noah observed as this being actually continued to laugh with no fear, his gaze actually looking towards him mockingly!

"Haha! You do not know? I thought as the main puppet, you would know everything that was happening!"

RUMBLE!

Foreboding words were the only thing coming from Aldrich as Noah tugged at his essence, the tendrils of Aether that were holding Aldrich in place bringing him closer as Noah observed the wide-open octagonal shattered space.

There seemed to be a greater meaning to Aldrich's actions that Noah had not grasped yet, so he brought the figure of the Founder close to him until he landed on his palm, his enormous figure that was still over a hundred miles looking down with shining red eyes as his two clones flanked his left and right.

"What did you do?"

"I did the only thing I could when cornered to such a state, I called for the destruction of the enemy I could not defeat!"

Aldrich's reply came in between his maddened laughs, his words continuing as his image completely lost all dignity and he looked more and more like a raving lunatic.

"The destruction of my home...haha! A fitting end for the enemy that raised me up and then threw me away like nothing!"

Shocking words of destruction released from the Founder as Noah's eyes squinted, his gaze turning murderous as the palm he had Alrich on began closing.

"Haha! It is too late now! Even a puppet like you will not be able to stop it!"

Noah was prepared to stop listening as he wanted to simply eradicate Aldrich right away, absorbing his memories as he simply learned what the meaning of this creature's actions were.

"The bell has been rung!"

RUMBLE!

More raving screams left Aldrich even as he saw the enormous palm about to crush him, his words only repeating again.

"The bell has been rung, and they are coming! Haha! Haha!"

...!

Noah's intuition became more and more foreboding with every passing word as he prepared to crush Aldrich, when he instantly felt the nearing of three terrifyingly powerful auras that he had sensed from a very far away region not too long ago.

RUMBLE!

The unique signatures of Terrors neared as Noah only heard a space-shattering yell.

"YOU FOOLS!"

RUMBLE!

Two enormous red stars for eyes, massing coiling and moving tentacles that occupied hundreds of miles.

The Terror of Aether was at the forefront as he arrived while staring at the figure of Noah and his clones, as well as the raving lunatic of a being grasped within the palm of Noah's main body and about to be crushed.

Its enormous eyes then locked on the shattered octagonal area that represented the boundary of the Novus Galaxy as its body shook, the terrifying power of the Terror exploding out wildly as he spoke once more!

"You fools! Do you know what you have done?!"

RUMBLE!

"Haha!"

The only answer was the wild laughter of a particular Founder as the auras of two other Terrors made themselves visible, creating for a suffocating atmosphere that would have simply destroyed the origins of any weaker beings were they in the surroundings.

One was a being coming a bit over 1000 miles, his figure humanoid in nature as his body seemed to be made of extremely bright black crystals, even his eyes densely black as he released a cold air!

The Terror of the Void had appeared as his eyes coldly glanced at Noah and the small raving figure of Aldrich within his hands.

RUMBLE!

On another side, the third terror actually had a shape that Noah had seen before, a shape of the ancients that he could normally summon with the skills of the Blood Lord!

Also claiming a unique humanoid appearance with horns rising from its head as its head was filled with shimmering grey hair, this was the Ancient Terror that had actually borne the Ancient Races of the Letalis Expanse!

All three Terrors were looking towards Noah and then the figure of Alrich with extreme wrath in their eyes as they understood what the image of an octagonal broken area in the barrier of the Novus Galaxy represented.

"Haha, the other puppets are here as well. Very good, all of you can simply wait in helplessness before you-"

CRUNCH!

Noah's patience had run completely thin as he folded his palm entirely, destructive Aether rolling out as the Founder of Celestial perished as simply as if one crushed a bug.

A radiance of red erupted out as Noah absorbed the memories of this creature, having deactivated [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] at this point as he chose not to obtain Skill Points but instead obtain all the Cores and loot of the only Nebula Rank being he had killed in the Novus Galaxy, as they would allow him to make a greater advancement into the next realm!

Even the appearance of three powerful Terrors did not deter him as he read the many memories of Aldrich, wanting to know exactly what was the full meaning behind his actions? What had the breaking of a portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy done?

The full answer was something horrendous, and also the reason for the wrath that the Terrors felt!

Chapter 591 - A Signal!

Memories are a curious thing.

One can look fondly when going through memories of the past, or one can even try to forget them depending on what they contain. But when it came to stealing the memories of someone else, when it came to absorbing the memories of a being who had lived for close to two millennia...one could not even begin to describe such an experience!

While being surrounded by three wrathful Terrors, Noah had crushed Aldrich within his palm as he began absorbing all of his memories, giving this task to his two clones as his attention focused on the powerful entities that surrounded him while also trying to focus on memories pertaining to Aldrich's goals and what exactly was the full meaning of his actions just now.

"Foolish! Foolish! Foolish!"

RUMBLE!

The body of the Terror of Aether, Cthulhu, moved closer as its eyes focused on the octagonal broken area on the boundary of the Novus Galaxy. An oppressive force continued to leak outwards into an extremely black void that nobody but Grand Controllers could be able to survive in as the gaze of this Terror turned towards Noah's three bodies.

"Based on your essence signature, you should have stopped something like this from ever happening! What made you so useless?!"

The voice was wrathful as the body of Cthulhu continued coming ever closer, Noah feeling the intent of this Terror to push him away from the area of the shattered boundary as he did not resist, his mind having already located the most important and most pertaining memories of the current situation from the dead Aldrich as he sifted through shocking information!

Cthulhu came towards the shattered area of the boundary as his tentacles landed on the areas around it, a unique energy beginning to leave his body as his voice of wrath continued to come out.

"Such a thing...such a thing should not have been possible..."

Mysterious words were uttered as the other two Terrors came close, glancing towards Noah closely as a unique energy also released from them to go towards the shattered space, Noah observing that the miles-long shattered area was slowly beginning to reform at this moment!

"Unless..."

Words of hesitation leaked out of the Terror of Aether as his body began to shake while affirming its thoughts and observing the state of the shattered area, his enormous red star-sized eyes trembling as the wrath within them only became more potent, the voice he released only becoming grander!

"You allowed for this!"

RUMBLE!

His voice rang out clearly as it had an accusatory tone, the other two Terrors opening their eyes as understanding registered into them as well, the gazes of all these three powerful Terrors at the level of Controllers turning towards the direction that Noah and Aldrich had come from- each of them were glancing towards the Central Realm while the Terror of Aether released accusatory words!

"It was you! You allowed for this to happen! You would have sensed the moment the thoughts of that creature were aiming to harm you like this, and you would have sent us to stop him long before! You allowed for the barrier to be breached!"

WAA!

Shocking words were released from the booming mouth of the Terror of Aether as he actually looked towards the Central Realm while releasing words that seemed to be filled with pain and sorrow, and Noah would have not been able to understand their full meaning had he not just grasped the memories of Aldrich that pertained to this.

"That creature should not have even had the knowledge to do this unless you granted it to him! So why!"

Even more mysterious and shocking words left Cthulhu as the energy that he and the other two Terrors released went to reform the shattered portion of the barrier even faster.

Noah's own thoughts had turned chaotic as he actually grasped the full picture, being able to understand exactly what Aldrich had done and the significance such a thing had!

When Aldrich saw that he could not win the battle against him, his unwillingness and unfairness he felt for not being able to get his hands on the only thing he wanted drove his maddened mind towards one thing, and it was the thing he was screaming about- mutual destruction!

If he could not have what he believed to be the biggest treasures in the Novus Galaxy and he was about to fall under the hands of a being that had not even appeared before just a few months ago, he might as well perish along with the enemy that prevented him from achieving anything.

With this thought, Aldrich actually chose to go towards the bounds of the Novus Galaxy where a barrier that only Grand Controllers could affect existed, a barrier where one could pass through as they left behind their Galaxy to explore the wide Universe!

But his goal was not to simply pass through this barrier, but to shatter a portion of it as he did something no inhabitant of a Galaxy would ever do, but it was the only way he saw of causing the destruction of his enemy- the Novus Galaxy itself. Aldrich chose to shatter the barrier because it was the only way to invite beings stronger than him into this galaxy, it was the only way to release a signal to powerful entities in the outside Universe that a Galaxy still in its beginning stages existed in this area of space!

Aldrich's action of shattering the small portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy was simply that- a way to send out a signal to the outside Universe.

A way to invite unknown dangers towards the Novus Galaxy that had always been unknown and undiscovered this entire time!

This was why he had been screaming that the bell had been rung. That they were coming.

A native had actually sent a signal that invited the destruction of his own Galaxy!

Chapter 592 - Why?!

As Noah sifted through the memories, he also understood why the words of the Terrors were accusatory as they looked back towards the direction where he had expelled Aldrich from the Central Realm. These Terrors were glancing towards the location where the entity that could represent the Novus Galaxy resided as they accused this entity of actually calling for destruction itself!

The Terror of Aether had screamed that the creature known as Aldrich should have never had the knowledge that the capabilities of a Grand Controller would be able to shatter a portion of the barrier of their galaxy, nor should Aldrich had known what doing such an action represented.

Yet he had the information that did just that, and when he could not win, Aldrich made it his goal to simply call for the destruction of the Novus Galaxy through the hands of others!

Noah also understood where this information came from as while Aldrich was journeying throughout the Celestial Realm, the technologies of the Warsh.i.p.s and Realm Dreadnaughts as well as the techniques of the Law of Fate were not the only things given to him.

Noah used the word given because it was actually just that- all that Aldrich found during his exploration were simply things he was allowed to have, those he wasn't allowed to have being placed behind a golden barrier that he never crossed!

Information about Terrors and even the small tidbits of information about the Novus Galaxy itself and the working of the barrier protecting it...they were all spoonfed to him by a single entity- the Novus Galaxy itself.

This was why the Terror of Aether had turned towards the Central Realm while sending out accusatory words.

This was why he blamed the happening of the shattered area of the boundary of the galaxy...on the Novus Galaxy itself!

It was an event that sent a signal of their location to the wide and dangerous Universe full of things they had no knowledge about, and now that this signal had been sent out...something was coming!

"Why?! Why would you do such a thing!"

Noah continued sifting through the memories of Aldrich as the red eyes of the Terror shook while his voice continued to resound across space.

"Why subject us all to death?! Why seek for more? Are we not enough for you?!"

Words that were filled with extreme pain and shock left the Terror of Aether as the reality of what this event signified fully settled in all their hearts, their many questions wanting to at least be answered as they looked towards the Central Realm.

"What goal could you possibly have to invite such a disaster towards us..."

The voice of the Terror of Aether had turned dejected as the shattered space on the barrier became completely stitched up, the powerful gravitational force stopping as everything seemed to have gone back to normal.

But each of them knew that nothing would be normal again as in the foreseeable future, something they had no knowledge about would be descending upon them soon enough.

OOOM

The essence of the three Terrors was flowing wildly as with the closure of the shattered space, their eyes turned fully towards the Central Realm as they portrayed emotions of anger and frustration, emotions of unwillingness and non-understanding as Cthulhu's voice rang out once again.

"Why-"

[Quiet.]

RUUUUMBLE!

Space seemed to shake and tumble as the Terrors felt searing pains in their minds, Noah being in the same state as he felt like his head was burning the moment this voice erupted out!

That's right! It was a voice!

A voice that felt familiar in Noah's mind, yet at the same time, it felt extremely foreign! A voice that seemed to resonate with the very deepest parts of the Origins of the Terrors and even Noah!

...!

Noah's heart was beating wildly as this voice erupted out, the Terrors beside him turning mute as it was only Cthulhu with his shaking red eyes still actively moving, the enormous tendrils of Aether coiling around him shaking with wild destruction as he actually disobeyed this voice and continued.

"No! You have freely done unexplainable things for centuries and I have kept quiet while following orders! You have let unneeded wars and deaths occur by uncountable numbers on the same creatures living within you over the millenniums. This time I will not just sit idly by, this time I at least want answe-"

RUUUMBLE!

A magisterial energy erupted out of nowhere at this moment as it wrapped and bound the body of the Terror of Aether, his eyes trembling in shock as these energies ignored his balefully destructive Aether and even his identity as a Grand Controller, his enormous planet sized body being covered by these unique energies entirely as his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Gone!

Noah sensed the fluctuations of a huge spatial movement as the entire planet sized Terror of Aether, Cthulhu, was forcefully teleported away from this position instantly!

[Anyone else feel like talking?]

"..."

"..."

The Terror of the Void and the Ancient Terror shook fearfully in their position as they actually got into kneeling positions, their eyes bowing down as not a single word was heard from them.

Noah saw this shocking scenario as his own heart continued to beat wildly, his gaze still on the thousands of miles where a terrifying Cthulhu used to be, yet this same being was forcefully taken away in less than a second by the entity whole voice was permeating in the surroundings- by the Novus Galaxy itself!

[Go back to your posts.]

RUMBLE!

Without so much a millisecond delay, the remaining two Terrors moved away as they turned into streaks of lights, spreading to different directions as they went back to their original positions in the Letalis Expanse without so much as another word.

Noah floated at the same spot as he ridiculously just watched the shocking set of events playing out, waving his hands as he sent his two clones back to the Time Space of the Infinite Realm so that they could go through the memories of Aldrich faster, his gaze looking towards the void of space and the boundary of the Novus Galaxy near him as the shocking voice that seemed to cause searing pain in his mind every time it rang out expressed itself again.

[You have questions.]

"..."

Noah closed his eyes as he felt the searing pain in his mind dim little by little every time the voice spoke, his eyes squinting coldly as he looked towards the Central Realm while activating Apathy to calm his rapidly beating heart.

Damn right he had questions. He had a whole lot of f.u.c.k.i.n.g questions!

[The time is here for all the answers. Come...]

[...My Champion.]

Chapter 593 - What Lies Behind the Golden Barrier? I

Space was extremely huge and vast.

This was even more so when one looked at an entire galaxy that housed an uncountable number of planets and creatures, and it was even vaster if one took into account the unknown that lied outside of a galaxy!

Yet there existed a few specific beings that could effectively achieve a high enough level as they actually changed how vast things seemed to their perception, rising to such extreme lengths of power that even the vast distances of a Galaxy did not seem as vast as they were before.

This was the case with Noah after he achieved the level of a Grand Controller, the type of movements he could do within the Novus Galaxy expanding greatly to the point that he could not even compare it to his past self!

An example was how he and Aldrich had gone from the Central Realm and into the Letalis Expanse, and then just a few minutes later reached the bounds of the Novus Galaxy as the events that had already occurred took place.

With his position as a Controller, the vast Light, Dark, and Letalis Expanses could actually be explored by him in time as he would at most have to spend a few months or even a year or two to fully explore the entirety of the Novus Galaxy and everything that was lying within!

But at this moment...he had an enormous task ahead of him as he heard a shockingly powerful voice that had teleported away a Terror of Aether without its will, an entity that the Cthulhu had accused of bringing calamity to itself and all of them by allowing the actions of Aldrich to go through unstopped!

"You still know nothing about this?"

He sent his words towards his own Realm System, which was the integrated Infinite Realm that had all the worlds he was connected to put together as he sought for even a bit more guidance to try and understand what was about to happen.

[No. I am experiencing this at the same time as you.]

His System replied curtly, Noah analyzing the distinct differences between the voices in his mind as he affirmed they were different, that the commanding voice that had simply teleported Cthulhu away was much colder and emotionless, one feeling a distinct chill from it!

He glanced at the surroundings where the boundary of the Novus Galaxy had reformed, preparing himself fully as he used enormous amounts of mana to teleport directly to a single location.

Of course, his location was the wondrous Central Realm that he had left not too long ago, returning close to the golden barrier where he had left behind the Nebula Rank Infernal Lords.

The land around the Golden Barrier was already getting back to normal as the destruction his [Madness Hegemony] caused was slowly wiped away by the abundant essence of the Central Realm, the vegetation already regrowing. Noah saw the figure of the three Infernal Lord standing straight in front of the Barrier as the 1st Infernal Lord looked towards him with a smile.

"I trust it went smoothly?"

Her words were as melodious as always, Noah staring towards this woman as he nodded while speaking.

"Not necessarily. There's something about a bell being rung and all that."

His eyes were squinting as he tried to figure out the mysteries around him, wanting to see the full connection this 1st Infernal Lord had with the commanding voice that had called him a Champion, wanting to know the things that had been held in the dark for too long!

"I am in the same situation as you and many others, but I have received guidance that all the answers lie on the other side."

The 1st Infernal Lord bowed apologetically as she spoke, her hands pointing behind her as Noah saw a blinding golden light shining out, a blinding rectangular opening being created on the fearsome golden barrier that Aldrich had wanted to get behind for so long!

RUMBLE!

The golden barrier that he was completely kept out of was now opened towards Noah even though he could have just chosen to pass through it with his power as a Grand Controller.

[Communication will be much smoother the further in you are. Come.]

Noah turned his head in pain as he still felt a searing tinge every time the cold voice entered his mind, looking towards the three Infernal Lord that seemed to be waiting for him before they entered the golden rectangular opening that showed something entirely different than what Noah and many others were expecting.

He left behind his reservations as he floated down and walked through the opening, feeling like a film of light was peeling in front of his eyes the moment he passed through the golden barrier that Aldrich had wanted to get behind for long!

He began spreading his awareness out as the auras of the three Infernal Lord entered with him, his eyes opening wider at everything he was discovering as the contents within this barrier were really outside the expectations of many!

Aldrich and many other powerful Celestials had made passing this golden barrier their goal over centuries, imagining all the wondrous treasures they would be able to find in the hidden region as they used it to reach even greater heights of power.

Yet over all the years, they had never been able to achieve it as Noah was currently the only one to explore this mystery with his own eyes!

"This is what Aldrich spent his life trying to reach? This was the reason for all the chaos over the past hundreds of years...?"

Noah could not help but voice out as the Infernal Lord beside him let out a light laugh, an indistinguishable light shining in her eyes as she nodded.

"We often have wild delusions of grandeur on things we cannot get our hands on. What Aldrich sought...he would have never found here."

Noah shook his head with emotion at these words as he thought about the being that had lived over 2000 years while having the singular goal of passing through this golden barrier and putting his hands on all that lied within!

He shook his head as he confirmed with his own eyes that it was better he took away Aldrich's life with his hands, for if he had actually been able to pierce through the barrier and see what lies behind it...he might have just taken his own life right then and there!

Chapter 594 - What Lies Behind the Golden Barrier? II

Behind the golden barrier that Noah had crossed...was a spectacular environment that had 10 times the concentration of essence as the area immediately outside of it!

Noah's awareness at the level of a Grand Controller could spread out to cover an extremely wide distance, so even though he had just entered an area that covered the remaining portion of the Central Realm that had not been explored by anyone, he was able to notice many things in the immediate surroundings!

Shockingly, those he could sense the nearest were the droves of Infernals who had been spread out across the Novus Galaxy to stop the advancements of Celestials.

The auras of the remaining 6 Infernal Lords and the hundreds of billions of Infernals that had been in all the Infernal Realms had returned into the Central Realm, into the home they had originally deep behind the golden barrier!

But this was only the first thing that Noah noticed. As he rose to the skies and watched the mystical surroundings filled with extremely tall trees that further increased the aesthetics of this surrounding land to make it seem as if he was walking through an ancient primordial land, he saw even more shocking things.

Aside from the nearing Infernal Lords, the further out that Noah spread out his awareness, the more beings he came across as he actually saw their levels of power increase ever so higher!

Some looked like Behemoths, others were creatures he had never seen before, but the most unique thing was their realm of power.

Nearly all of them stood at the Star Forging Realm, without a single one being a rank lower!

That's right- aside from the Infernals with their varying levels in the immediate surroundings, Noah could only observe a truly large number of creatures that all had their Realms at the level of a Star Forger and nothing less.

As his awareness went out even further, he began coming across the auras of creatures at the level of the Nebula!

...!

Even further inland where his awareness could not reach and it became foggy, he could sense the aura of the powerful Aether of Terror that was forcefully teleported away from the Letalis Expanse not too long ago.

This was why he thought if Aldrich had really been able to cross the golden barrier, he might have just taken his own life as the things within were wholly different from what he expected!

"Are there actually any truly spectacular treasures in here...?"

He unconsciously asked the 1st Infernal Lord floating beside him as he focused his awareness on the smaller details of this area past the golden barrier. It actually wasn't wrong for many beings to think that there were countless treasures past the golden barrier, as his sharp eyes actually noticed a section a few hundred miles away that had something he had taken in the past that pushed him to the World Rank- the [Luminescent Rainbow Dew]!

He actually saw these Luminescent Rainbow Dews freely coming off of extremely tall trees as if they were fruits, and there was a large number of them that they would have made any beings in the Novus Galaxy to look towards them with greedy eyes.

Yet they peacefully swayed in the branches of these tall trees among this fantastical environment filled with an overabundance of essence, making Noah look around everywhere else for treasures he did not even know about.

"Of course, there is also an abundance of treasures. All the techniques that allow one to advance through normal and Supreme Laws, even unique laws like Aether that are just a small distance further ahead than Supreme. Of course, the other things which might not be considered treasures but are abundant in nature...are the Protectors you are seeing."

The 1st Infernal Lord replied to him as their figures floated further inside, stating that the beings which all seemed to be at the level of Star Forging were termed as Protectors!

"...and the multiple auras of Nebula Realm creatures?"

His awareness was focusing on seeking out exactly how many of such creatures laid within this place as he asked, another reply coming towards him. But this time it was from an extremely cold and monotone voice.

[Existences made for the sole purpose of Protecting. It is not hard to make many once you set restrictions on their Origins, with their greatest restrictions being bound by universal laws that they cannot escape.]

His head did not feel a searing pain anymore as he floated further and further past the area of the golden barrier, this voice being clearer as he began receiving answers from the entity itself!

[Lying just a level before Controllers, with their sole purpose to remain in the Central Realm for guard duty and nothing else. The moment they do anything else but that, their Origins implode.]

Concepts similar to what Noah had read when he achieved the Nebula Rank in the Terror of Aether skill tree rang out, an idea of how these beings came to be filling Noah's mind. He recalled the description of the ability as he continued flying towards the depths of this new land, flying over the droves of Infernals standing completely motionless below him.

[Terror of Aether] (5/5) :: An inborn ability granted to the special existences known as Terrors by the Novus Galaxy. For an extremely high price and restrictions, this ability normally granted 100% comprehension in the law of Aether. As the current user has not paid this price nor any of the restrictions and yet still holds this title, only 50% of comprehension in the Law of Aether shall be granted. The technique of cultivating Aether, [Disciple of Aether], is also granted.

Based on the description of this ability, the creatures within this area behind the golden barrier were granted their power at the Star Forging or Nebula Realm in exchange for huge restrictions from the universal laws themselves. But the ability to make these protectors as well as place the restrictions that allowed for their power...this ability was only something that the entity known as the Novus Galaxy could carry out!

Noah continued forward as he noticed the three Infernal Lords stopping behind him at a certain point, the 2nd and 3rd Infernal Lords descending down as only the 1st Infernal Lord remained in the skies with him. They had passed the area where hundreds of billions of Infernal Lords were motionlessly and noiselessly standing, with their figures about to enter further in where Noah saw multiple creatures at the level of Star Forging and even a few at the Nebula Realm moving.

[It should be much easier to communicate now at this point.]

He heard the voice of the powerful entity once more, but he had to turn his head this time around as it came from the figure right beside him- from the 1st Infernal Lord herself!

Her eyes had lost their blue light as they turned a blank white, becoming completely emotionless as they stared towards Noah while the two of them floated in space. The delightful expression and melodious words of the past Infernal Lord were gone, her cold gaze telling Noah he was currently talking directly to the entity known as the Novus Galaxy itself!

She waved her hands as the trees below them stretched up and formed two mystical chairs of identical stature and length. The body of the Infernal Lord floated down to one as she pointed her hands towards the other, Noah's body descending unto it as his eyes locked onto the figure in front of him.

[I'm sure you have many questions, but it would be even easier if you first listen to a story. It will answer many if not all of them, and shed light on exactly what is to come in a much smoother fashion.]

Noah glanced at the blank eyes of this creature in front of him as he nodded, the entity known as the Novus Galaxy beginning to narrate a grand tale.

A tale of how many things came to be!

Chapter 595 - The Novus Galaxy!

The Novus Galaxy was extremely vast and wide, but it was not always like this!

Like many things, it began somewhere, and ended somewhere!

[The answer to the question you heard the Terror of Aether spouting actually lies here.]

The monotone voice rang out in front of Noah as the tale began.

The accusatory questions that the Cthulhu had thrown towards the Central Realm indicated that even though Aldrich had carried out the actions of shattering a portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy and sending out a Signal to the unknown universe of exactly where their Galaxy was...the Cthulhu said that this dangerous action that would put them all at risk could only be made because the Novus Galaxy itself let it happen!

So why would this be? Why would a galaxy incite destruction to itself?!

[To understand this, you must realize the true nature of a Galaxy, as well as the workings behind it.]

[Over the many eons of time...the Novus Galaxy has actually risen and fallen numerous times.]

...!

Noah's eyes shook as he listened, hidden truth that nobody knew being revealed simply in front of him.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, and who knew how much further, the Novus Galaxy had actually come to be and then been destroyed multiple times!

[Each time was different. Whether by the hands of the natives, or by outside forces, or by something completely unknown.]

[But no matter what, every time there was complete destruction before everything restarted once more.]

RUMBLE!

Lines of fate seemed to be swirling around Noah as he learned this truth, the shocking reality that a Galaxy actually went through cycles of destruction and rebirth, the truth that trillions of beings would inexplicably be moving within at every cycle as they lived their lives before all of them were wiped away...only for the Galaxy to begin anew as the process repeated itself!

[I have gone through this process too many times to count.]

The voice coming out from the 1st Infernal Lord felt even colder and more emotionless at this moment, Noah beginning to understand exactly why that was so as he thought about just the idea of countless destructions and rebirth, of seeing trillions die over and over again!

[To try and prevent this, I strove to make strong Protectors over the eons that could withstand the challenges which ultimately led to my destruction, but even that was never successful.]

OOOM!

The first Infernal Lord waved her hands as an illusory screen appeared beside their two figures, Noah turning towards it as he saw numerous shocking scenes being played.

One scene showed multiple figures with the auras of Controllers releasing horrendously powerful attacks towards a shining white core.

[Whether it was by my own inhabitants...]

Another scene showed a shocking large-scale battle that involved creatures Noah had never seen before, of powerful beings that even caused Noah's heart to stir!

[Or by Outsiders who inadvertently found the location of the Novus Galaxy in this vast universe.]

No matter what happened, the conclusion was always the same- destruction!

But there existed a unique feature about Galaxies where they did not utterly face extinction, going into hibernation for countless years before enough essence can be absorbed for everything to restart yet again.

[Even more recently, I have been trying new methods of raising powerful Protectors with unique abilities that can stand against any coming forces, but even that failed.]

The scene changed as it portrayed five figures releasing auras at the level of a Grand Controller, these five figures facing unknown beings that were not shown clearly on the illusory screen.

Noah's eyes shook as he saw that at the forefront of the five figures, a single woman with dark hair was wildly leading the others with a cold expression. This figure was very prominent in his eyes as she looked to have a face that was very similar to Noah's, the features just slightly more feminine to match the body!

This being that looked just like him but had a different gender faced the unknown enemies as in the end...all five Grand Controllers fell!

[Every time. All that I could look forward to was destruction. That is...until something changed.]

Yes! Something had changed!

Noah's eyes looked towards the 1st Infernal Lord that carried a blank expression as he could feel his beating heart even though he had Apathy activated. He wanted to know exactly what change had occurred, but the cold voice skipped over it entirely as the story continued.

[After that change, I tried something new. I tried not to have multiple powerful Protectors that all seemed to lose in the end, I tried to forge a single Champion that I was confident could withstand anything that came.]

RUMBLE!

[That is where you come along. You are...that Champion.]

...!

After whatever Change she mentioned occurred, the Novus Galaxy had stopped focusing on making multiple powerful protectors who always fell in the end to either their own conflicts or to outside enemies, and she instead focused on forging a single powerful being who could possibly withstand any and all coming forces!

She wanted to forge a Champion of ultimate proportions, a being that could shoulder a task that nobody would dare put on their shoulder!

[Accomplishing this was not possible before, but the change allowed for me to be able to bend the Universal Laws even by a little, and it expanded the possibilities as I focused on a single aspect of strength that I saw over the eons of destruction and rebirth.]

[I observed this aspect on the Outsiders that occasionally caused my destruction, where the Outsiders had extreme strength and power in one aspect, a strength that culminated in giving them a tremendously powerful presence that is collected and termed into a single word...a Trait.]

RUMBLE!

A Trait!

[Some Outsiders had traits focusing on the extremes of Laws, some had Traits that allowed them to do unimaginably powerful things with ease, and others had so-so Traits as they could even be matched by the Controllers I made.]

But the one singular truth remained...and that truth was if someone had a strong enough Trait, an extreme of a law or something else that could overpower any other beings...they would be victorious!

[Because of this, I went forward with the goal of forging a Champion that had an unbeatable Trait, a Champion who could trample on all other beings regardless of the trait they held in the coming future.]

RUMBLE!

Space seemed to be shaking around them as the emotionless words of the Novus Galaxy continued to ring out!

[What do you think about Infinite Mana?]

...!

Chapter 596 - A Trait!

A Trait!

Noah's eyes opened wide as he heard this word, his mind going back months ago when he saw a dash in the stat panel when it came to his [Focus].

At that time, this dash that represented nothing meant that the amount of the attribute of focus- the amount of mana, could not be properly displayed as it was too exorbitant! He later found out that this was because of his connection with the planet he was on, and he even actively expanded this connection as time passed so that he could acc. even more mana!

[There were multiple trial and errors, but I am now seeing that the Trait of Infinite Mana ranks higher than any of the Traits I have come across before.]

RUMBLE!

[It is also a Trait that could not just be granted, but it had to be grown to the stage it is at currently, where even at this moment it has not achieved a full bloom to be properly called an official Trait. This is because you have only created a connection with a Realm, and to fully complete this Trait...a connection with something even larger is required.]

...!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Noah could feel his heartbeat as if it was the sound of a drum, shocking information about all that was occurring to him being displayed so freely at this time!

All the connections that he had formed with the many worlds, and even when all of these connections were combined into a single powerful Realm...all of this was still just progress he was making towards creating a particular Trait- the Trait known as Infinite Mana!

Even at this moment in time, this trait was not complete as he still had work to do before it could officially manifest.

[When you take the final step and officially achieve this Trait, you can unequivocally say that you have Infinite Mana. This is because a completed Trait is forced to intertwine with the Universal Laws, whatever the trait is granting being made into a reality.]

When he officially completed this Trait, he would never have to worry about any mana he used at any stage he achieved! He would never have to worry about adding this planet or that planet in order to expand his reserves...he would for as long as he lived always have Infinite Mana!

Noah's eyes shone with l.u. as he reached this point, his heart nearly jumping out as he wanted to grasp this Trait in his hands right away! But this posed the question...of exactly how to complete this trait.

He glanced towards the white blank eyes of the 1st Infernal Lord that had been taken over by a separate entity as he had an idea of exactly what he had to do to achieve the completion of such a spectacular Trait. The eyes of this entity seemed to understand his thoughts as their monotone words continued!

[As it is a trait that I doubt has ever risen across the vast Universe, it is one with very strict requirements to bring to fruition.]

Yes! It was extremely hard and required many factors coming together to bring to light a Trait such as Infinite Mana! First, one had to begin with forming a dangerous connection between a world and a creature that had yet to even experience any forms of Mana, and then have this creature awaken to the workings of mana while keeping their lives during this whole time!

If they perished, the planet would perish. If somehow everything lined up and continued, the creature would then have to grow to enough power as they had to be able to traverse in the starry space as they formed even more connections and expanded the usage of this incomplete Trait, all the while none of the planets they were forming connections to had to also remain safe with no destruction.

Noah had shockingly gone through all of these stages as he arrived at the point where all the worlds he was connected to were combined into a single Realm, paving his path in an even smoother direction as it granted him a level of safety he did not have before!

[Now that you were able to form a Realm, the next steps are relatively easier as all you have to do is fuse into your Realm the Worlds present in the Light Expanse, Dark Expanse, and Letalis Expanse.]

"..."

Jaws would have dropped down if there were any other beings listening to this conversation, but Noah managed to release a question during this time.

"How many more Stars will have to be fused...?"

[This, I have not been able to confirm. There is a last stage you must still complete after the fusion of many worlds into your Realm. I will know if you are ready for that final stage as you fuse the worlds, and the Trait that shall stand against any enemies will be complete.]

A Trait unlike any other!

A Trait that would be able to stand against Outsiders and anything that had appeared before and destroyed the Novus Galaxy, causing it to experience rebirth over and over again until this current era!

As Noah arrived at this point and tried weaving everything together in his mind, he was reminded of the accusatory words of the Cthulhu, and the fact that the actions of Aldrich shattering a portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy had sent out a signal which actually let unknown beings know exactly where their Novus Galaxy was.

It was a signal that effectively called Outsiders over to them!

Noah locked his gaze with the apathetic eyes of the entity residing in the 1st Infernal Lord as he asked.

"If in the past eons you faced destruction and rebirth multiple times because of Outsiders or other sources...why allow for a signal that would invite disaster to be released by Aldrich this time around?"

He could feel the space around him beginning to shake as he asked this same question that the Cthulhu had asked and was forcefully teleported away for. He asked a question that demanded an answer!

RUMBLE!

Lines of Fate and chaotic particles began to swirl around them as Noah actually observed the emotionless and impassive face of the 1st Infernal Lord show emotion for the first time since this entity had taken over it and adopt an extremely enigmatic and cruel smile, a smile that would cause the spines of beings to curve as their very Origins trembled!

[Well...]

Chapter 597 - Multiple Law Inheritances!

Sometimes, too many shocking things can occur at once that one would often feel a sense of numbness after consecutive shock after shock.

Over an hour had passed, and Noah was currently feeling like this as he finished listening to shocking information from the entity that was the Novus Galaxy. He had asked for the reason as to why a Signal was allowed to be released to the outside Universe and invite destruction towards them, and the answer was a shocking one!

His head felt blank as he looked towards the face that had turned impassive once, any emotion it showed the moment he asked the question being completely gone as if it was never there.

[It will take some time, but I am confident in the Champion of this era.]

The voice of the Novus Galaxy was monotone, but held a hint of certainty as the blank while eyes stared at Noah.

[You are completing a Trait that requires the workings of an entire Galaxy to complete, whereas other creatures can only be granted Traits that are slightly exceptional or even normal by their Galaxies depending on what the river of fate tells them.]

The 1st Infernal Lord rose as she said this, looking around them while Noah continued to sit in a contemplative tone. This was because the bombshells dropped today had been too numerous, with their answers also being questionable!

[I know you may still not fully agree with or understand my reasoning as it jeopardizes the lives of all the creatures in this current era, but I did this after multiple cycles where creatures just like them faced complete destruction before everything started over again.]

The tone was somber as the concept of an entity watching as trillions died over and over again was brought up, the possible emotions behind it being something that very few could understand!

[You may feel emotional as you are connected to and know a few creatures in this Galaxy, but realize that I am connected to all of them! The emotions you feel are nothing compared to mine. If I still chose to undertake this route, it is naturally the route that I believe will give them the most chance to not be like the others in the past cycles that have destruction!]

RUMBLE!

Waves of fate and chaos rolled around as these words were said with certain strength, Noah looking up while still contemplating, looking at the many things around him that lay behind a certain golden barrier.

"What of Aldrich's words about puppets?"

His pondering gaze asked another question in his mind as the 1st Infernal Lord turned towards him and titled her head.

[Do you truly believe you are a puppet?]

It was a questioning tone that held a hint of surprise, Noah not needing to wait as the voice continued.

[Do not confuse the moving of the river of fate with someone controlling you. Any time in the past months, you could have chosen to do different things that would have led you on a completely different path. Fate does not lead to a singular location, it can change and shift at any time because of just a single being's actions. Even now after all this, you can choose to complete your Trait or not, you can choose to go forward with what I proposed or not. I cannot force you.]

Her blank gaze looked around the very deep areas of the Central Realm as she said this, Noah taking in the words as he half agreed with them and half didn't!

Even though it was something wondrous that he himself knew he wanted to achieve, he still wondered whether he could really say no to all of it! This was the paradox he found himself in, as when he thought about the fantastical concept of an Infinite Mana Trait- he wanted to complete it.

When he thought about saving himself and all those he was connected to from eventual destruction that the Novus Galaxy had faced multiple times in the past, he also wanted to do this.

The entity that was the Novus Galaxy also wanted the same things that he wanted, so was he really being controlled to do all these things, or were they all just his choices?

His gaze was that of pondering as he felt that he already had an answer, but he left this topic behind as his eyes glanced at the many Protectors around the area behind the golden barrier.

"Alright, we can leave this behind for now. I should get started if we want to see a chance of success in the coming weeks."

The blank face of the 1st Infernal Lord nodded as they began to float further into the inner area of the Central Realm as Noah followed along.

[Aside from your Trait, you also carry the attribute unique to this Galaxy that allows you to quantify your abilities and universal laws into visible numbers, this attribute also allowing you to very easily comprehend universal laws when paired with your Trait.]

Their figures currently went towards the inner depths as Noah observed the numerous creatures that were all at the Star Forging Realm, a few at the Nebula Rank that also acted as Protectors popping up!

[In this Inner Realm, I have been able to put together the techniques for advancing through the normal and Supreme Laws, as well as unique laws such as Aether that a creature born in this galaxy is proficient in. Aside from other treasures that will mostly be useful to the beings you choose to elevate the strength of as your subordinates, these techniques will be the things that will be the most useful to you.]

The entity currently residing in the 1st Infernal Lord said this as their figures dove down towards the ground, passing the many scintillating ancient trees around them that vibrated with essence as Noah came upon a circular clearing that held multiple pedestals.

These pedestals each shone with their own unique essence as an enormous Inheritance Crystal lay on top of them, each Inheritance Crystal representing a different law!

He saw the ones shining red and blue as he recognized the Inheritances of the Disciple of Fire and Water, and he saw that nearest to them were two huge Crystals that shone green and grey- representing Earth and Air.

There were even more Inheritance Crystals that represented the laws of Space, Time, Light, Dark, Fate, Chaos, Karma, and even Aether!

An abundance of Inheritances for him to choose from on where he wanted his journey in the Universal Laws to continue.

[They should continue overlaying even more boosts to your power as you gain Authority from each of them and eventually becoming a Controller of multiple laws. You should have also seen the path of advancement as a Controller, yes? This will be the toughest gap to close between the coming Outsiders, as they have long begun on that path.]

The entity that was the Novus Galaxy looked towards Noah as she said this, Noah's head nodding unconsciously as his eyes were fully focused on the many Inheritance Crystals in front of him.

He knew the path of advancement after gaining the title of Controller, and any enemies that could do anything to him would be those that already embarked on this path!

But he was leaving all of this for the future as he now focused on the abundant treasures lying before his eyes, as he went forward to learn the techniques of advancing through multiple universal laws so that he could fully put his clones to use in the Time Space of the Infinite Realm!

Chapter 598 - A Signal is Received!

At the circular clearing where enormously tall ancient trees shimmered with essence, Noah was going across every single Inheritance Crystal as he learned multiple techniques to traverse through universal laws.

Laws were the one thing that always continued to add more and more boosts to his strength, and it was one of the things he planned to focus on aside from completing his Trait!

He glanced at the description of a law comprehension technique that he had yet to start on.

{Disciple of Earth} :: A technique that allows one to form an Earth Origin Core. It comes with the techniques of the Herald of Earth.

{Disciple of Karma} :: Every action will have a reaction, every deed will have its consequences, every being will be surrounded by Karma. This technique allows the user to embark on a loosely understood law as they read and try to interfere with the workings of Karma while cultivating Karma Lines.

{Disciple of Air}...{Disciple of Light}...

All of the Inheritances that Noah could get his hands on...he did!

Once this was completed, he sat down at the center of the mystical clearing as he closed his eyes, all these new techniques he had obtained being reflected in the eyes of his clones currently residing in the Time Space of the Infinite Realm as he began cultivating numerous Laws at once.

Yes, simultaneously and without reservations!

RUMBLE!

Space quaked in the surroundings of the Time Space and the mystical area deep inside the golden barrier that Noah was in, the convergence of numerous elemental particles beginning to head towards him as he once more performed something that would shatter the common sense of others without so much as blinking an eye.

One could observe a hint of light green elements that repressed Earth swirling around Noah's body, the formation of an Earth Origin Core beginning seamlessly beside the Fire Origin Core and Water Origin Core.

At the same time, an Air Origin Core from the Disciple of Air appeared as Noah felt his central Core shaking!

RUMBLE!

The four commonly known and cultivated laws of Air, Earth, Water, and Fire were being comprehended simultaneously as they caused for a splendorous reaction that very few geniuses would be able to achieve!

Even if they could achieve it, it would only be brief and not as long as Noah was about to as he had the mana to keep on going for as long as wished.

Within his Origin, the slowly rotating Fire and Water Origin Cores seemed to have been lit by spark, soaring to life as they began to spin rapidly!

The newly appearing Earth and Air Origin Cores rapidly finished forming as they acted the same way, an outrageously beautiful congregation of blue, red, green, and white colors of elements beginning to form outside of Noah's body as he began a cultivation session of multiple laws!

As if these laws were not enough, mysterious particles of essence that represented Space, Time, Aether, Karma...all of them seamlessly rushed towards him as he fearlessly took all of them in, his eyes only opening to see his Stat Panel that was rapidly changing.

Aside from the four Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Fire, even more brilliant cores of Light and Dark had also appeared as milky waves of white and black freely ran rampant around Noah!

Not too far away from him, the figure of the 1st Infernal Lord still had another entity residing within, the blank white eyes looking towards Noah seeming to have a multitude of thoughts as they turned to look above.

These blank eyes pierced through the layers of the Central Realm and even the boundary of the Novus Galaxy, going on to observe the dangerous and chaotic void outside of it as they waited expectantly!

In the vastness of space, a great number of unknowns were constantly in motion.

The Universe was wide and vast, with many beings finding it hard to grasp the sheer size when discussing it, that the understood concepts of miles or kilometers had to be thrown away!

At this juncture, one had to look at a distance in terms of light-years!

For the knowledge creatures, there was an understanding that a single light-year was equivalent to 6 trillion miles, a distance that the majority of beings would never even dream of traversing throughout their lives.

Yet in this vast Universe, at a distance of an unknown number of light-years, a Signal was traveling along the waves of universal laws!

The unique thing about this signal was that it never traveled in one direction, the chaotic and deadly nature of the Void outside of galaxies throwing it around millions of miles of random distance every second.

The signal had been strong but was gradually growing more and more feeble over time as one could be led to believe that it could disappear completely any second. It was blinking on and off as it traversed the Chaotic Void where only Grand Controllers could travel across, occasionally passing powerful entities by a hair's breadth as it continued forward.

It traversed through the void directionless and soon enough, it came to stop at a certain point and disappeared completely!

It wasn't that the signal had grown weak and been snuffed out, it was that this signal had stumbled into an extremely large presence in the chaotic Void as it was sucked in right away.

This presence could be considered extremely large as it represented a Galaxy that had lived for who knew how many eons, a Galaxy whose very presence shook the surroundings of the Chaotic Void!

Inside this vast Galaxy, the sucked-in Signal was attracted towards a single location that was actually an extremely prominent feature.

This feature was enormous in size, actually being a shimmering portal that was hundreds of miles long as it shone with a rainbow-colored l.u. that would enamor the eyes of all that saw it!

The Signal sunk into this portal as a small vibration could be felt, this vibration being picked up by numerous beings not too far from this enormous portal, beings that had the title of Watchers!

"Hmm?"

One of these Watchers closed their eyes as they read the essence of the vibrations and the signal it received, a smile blooming on their face as they spoke with utter calmness.

"We might have just discord something new...though it is an extremely weak signal..."

RUMBLE!

Waves of fate distinctly rolled around the area surrounding this enormous rainbow-colored portal, a portal that was actually known by a different name among the locals of this Galaxy.

The area where the signal of the Novus Galaxy had reached was actually the location where a Universal Rift existed, a Universal Rift that was extremely rare to find or come across in the expansive Universe!

The Signal reached this Universal Rift as it signaled the beginning of something spectacular, of a Grand future that very few could never have even imagined!

Chapter 599 - A New Era

Among the knowledgeable forces of the Dark Expanse, shocking news had begun to spread that caused all those that heard it to stop in disbelief!

This news had passed from Noah to his forces and Old Man Inuit before he delved into a resplendent session of universal law cultivation as he really did not pay full attention to what the news represented.

When Old Man Inuit heard it, he tilted his head as he looked towards the solemn-looking Fritz absentmindedly, uttering the message he just received from Noah thereafter as the two brothers looked towards one another in shock!

"What do you mean it's all done? Aldrich is nearing complete completion of a universal law..."

"He's dead."

RUMBLE!

This shocking and unbelievable knowledge about the being that was considered a top tier expert in the Novus Galaxy, a being that had been able to interfere with more than half of the galaxy with his own ideal was hard to swallow by many!

It caused Old Man Inuit and Fritz to feel a grand weight lifted off their shoulders, and it caused Edrusim and the other forces in the Dark Expanse to breathe as they also accepted it incredulously.

Many commanders had thought the news was a ploy to let them lower their defenses, but as the source was a being like Old Man Inuit that they knew from the War of The Righteous, they accepted it with immense joy and celebrations began for the first time in many years throughout the Dark Expanse!

Can you imagine the feeling of being placed in a constant state of war where you feared for your life, only to be told that it was all over? All the fear that many people had begun to evaporate rapidly as they absorbed the news, with some forces taking this news in very differently.

In the Infinite Realm, Elena was floating in the skies of the lands that used to be the Ancient Blood World, Vladivostok floating beside her as they looked down towards masses of Vampyres below them. The gaze of Elena was chilly even amidst this victory as her voice rang out.

"The Progenitor avenged all our dead brethren from the War of the Righteous and the Last War, and you fools were stupid enough to begin celebrating!"

RUMBLE!

"What were you all doing as the Progenitor faced a powerful enemy by himself and saved us all? You were doing nothing!"

Elena was reproachful as she stared at the powerful forces of Vampyre Lord and lesser Vampyres around her, her status of being closer to the Progenitor than most earning her a high seat among the race of Vampyres as she actually floated above them commandingly.

"Do you know how many races there are in this Infinite Realm? Do you know just how grand and majestic the might of the Progenitor is going to continue expanding? As those directly sharing his blood, we cannot be falling behind in strength in this realm, and must live to be worthy of even uttering the name of the Progenitor, of the Overseer!"

OOOOOH!

The Vampyres could feel their blood pumping as they heard this, Elena's curvaceous body shining brilliantly in the skies as she pushed for the continued growth of her race- something that many beings were doing in the Infinite Realm as it wasn't just the forces of Vampyres doing this!

In the land that used to be Noah's home world, Steel Mikhail and Kazuhiko were addressing the forces of the past Blessed Empire and the United Federation with solemnity in this time of great joy.

"The Overseer came from our past world, and yet our forces are actually the weakest among the many in the Infinite Realm. Are you all content with that?!"

RUMBLE!

"NO!"

"Continue working hard to raise your strength! You have all the resources you can want, all the ideal environments in this wondrous Realm. Choose a path and stick to it as we elevate our power to not let down the Overseer!"

OOOOH!

In another location, The Inquisitor Athena had boarded the enormous Realm Dreadnaught with the Emperor Penguin and a few other Harbingers, these figures already setting off towards the destabilized Light Expanse where the gap left behind by the Celestials was causing chaos.

The Inquisitor was leading forces for the first time as she sought to re-establish order in the Light Expanse, the Emperor Penguin coming along as he felt stifled for not being of any use when battling a huge guy like Aldrich.

All around the Infinite Realm as the news spread that the powerful force of Celestials were dismantled, many beings overcame the initial joy as they made vows to get even stronger and began moving to stabilize the chaotic environment left behind by the Celestials.

None of them knew at this moment that an unknown threat was approaching, a threat that their own Galaxy called towards them as motions were in play for a shocking future!

In the depth of the Central Realm past the golden barrier, Noah's body rose as he shone with ridiculously colorful lights, his mouth breathing out as a multicolored rainbow essence flowed out with his breath- the cultivation session he had undergone being ridiculously multiplicative to his power! He could feel an overabundance of numerous essences of universal laws vibrating stably within his body, knowing his path as a Controller would be a much different one than many beings.

He was comprehending a number of laws that no beings would dare to comprehend, and he was even speeding through them at a rate that they could not even begin to imagine!

"Setting off?"

His thoughts were brought to a close as the voice of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out beside him. Her cheerful expression had returned as her eyes were back to shimmering blue, Noah nodding towards her as he glanced at the surrounding area and the even deeper area of this inner portion of the Central Realm that he had yet to explore.

Aside from the Inheritance Crystals that taught how to advance in laws, there were still abundant treasures in this area like the Luminescent Rainbow Dew and even more potent treasures that he wanted to give out to his forces to raise their strength.

During all of this, he was also about to move as continued towards the completion of a single Trait by continuing to fuse more worlds into his Realm...he went towards the completion of the Unranked Trait that would be the cause of much change in the coming years, the completion of the Trait of Infinite Mana!

Chapter 600 - Realm Expansion!

Hello.

It is your trusted Shadow Guard Night once more.

This is the 36th Journal Entry in the new Volume I've started since the day the Infinite Realm was established.

It has been an extremely busy period of time, with many beings moving around this wondrous Realm as they mostly harvested its abundant resources that did not seem to be ending.

Delegations were sent from numerous Lands that used to be Worlds, beings of different Races meeting as they began to work together towards a common goal. I was always present and protecting Queen Adelaide during these meetings, her delight as she handled any matters that would be helpful to the Esteemed Person being extremely visible every time.

During this busy time period, the Esteemed Person abruptly passed down the word that the biggest enemy was defeated. Just like that.

He didn't need an army with him or millions in order to come out victorious in such an ordeal, and this knowledge caused many of us within this Realm to feel a burning desire to get stronger- just so that this Esteemed Person would not leave us all behind!

We wanted to participate in the battles, you know? Be of some help as we received so many benefits that we never thought possible, you know?

Yet not too long thereafter, on what should have been a period of relaxation and resting...a change began to occur.

RUMBLE!

Ahh, it's actually just happened once more as I am writing this. Over the past few days, a tremor would pass throughout the Infinite Realm every now and then. Sometimes it came in a few minute intervals, sometimes just a few every hour. We didn't know what these tremors represented at first, but every time a tremor finished the extremely perceptive beings could notice that the atmospheric essence had risen once again.

This was an easy thing if you had been following the Esteemed Person for a while and was there was the Worlds ascended to higher ranks before ultimately forming into a Realm, and I noticed it right away as a shocking truth was confirmed right after as the changes became more noticeable and word passed down from the culprit in question!

It seemed that every time this tremor occurred, it signified that yet another World was joining the expansive Infinite Realm, that another few billion creatures had joined us once again!

It was such a shocking thing as we expected the Esteemed Person to rest for even a little, but it seemed like he could not sit still as every few minutes, another World was fused into this grand Realm filled with wonders.

RUMBLE!

Multiple worlds have already been fused as I am writing this Journal Entry, the task we have at hand to continue reaching out to the newly joining worlds and establish communications and governance only continuing to increase as many beings would have to be mobilized.

But this entire unbelievable and shocking issue of the Esteemed Person actively moving as he combined numerous worlds into this Realm made many of us who could think realize that something big was coming.

He would not be moving like this unless another enemy we do not even know about had risen, or maybe the Esteemed Person just enjoyed achieving ridiculously higher realms of power that he didn't wish to stop.

But either way, I was already preparing my mind to withstand any shock that the Esteemed Person wanted to send towards us next. Me being even surprised at the fact that a new world was being fused into this realm every few minutes was a loss on my mission, but I am now vowing with all my strength to never be shocked at the things this being did in the future.

I would wholly expect unbelievable and shocking things to continue to occur, and I will succeed in never having my jaw drop at the next unbelievable event.

Until then, there is an entire Realm to explore and numerous races to meet. I'll update next time on the progress of my mission, whenever the time comes that the Esteemed Person chooses to break all common sense again.

RUMBLE!

Yet another world seamlessly fused into the Infinite Realm as Noah used the feature of {World Integration}. He had stopped counting the hundreds of billions after a certain point as many beings found their worlds suddenly changed, his focus working overtime in the Infinite Realm as they stabilized any newly appearing fused lands and spoke to their people.

The billions of Vampyres that were spread out all over the Dark Expanse were those at the forefront of wanting to take on this task, trying to be of some help to their Progenitor as they moved diligently to make sure everything continued smoothly!

But just like this, Noah was able to seamlessly integrate many worlds as he first teleported across the Dark Expanse where he only had to let beings like the Grand Mage Edrusim know what he was doing as they only nodded in a stupor, already sending him messages of when their own Worlds being integrated into this wondrous Realm that only a few higher of ups of the Dark Expanse knew about.

They were at the forefront of it as Old Man Inuit had told them the being who had so easily taken care of Aldrich and the billions of Celestials that nobody could find at this moment was the 9th Infernal Lord, a being that was moving for the peace of the Novus Galaxy!

All those with the tiniest bit of intelligence wanted to attach themselves to this being as Noah was able to bring in multiple powerful Prime Worlds in this manner.

Days passed like this as his main body integrated new worlds while his two clones continued cultivating multiple universal laws at once, the areas where these two clones stood turning into shockingly overabundant fields of essence as the mana of numerous laws freely swirled around.

RUMBLE!

His origin shook at this moment as he detected yet another change, reaching another stupidly grand milestone in a short span of time as one of his clones briefly opened his eyes to observe the changes in the stat panel.

[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant), Grand Controller(Fate)]

[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor]

[Aether Particles(s) : 5,526,932]

[Karma Line(s) : 502,492]

[Fate Line(s) : 10,000,000]

[Chaos Particle(s) : 5,192,265]

[Origin Core(s) : Light-1, Dark-1, Fire-8, Water-8, Earth-3, Air-3]

[Domain(s) : Aether, Karma, Fate, Chaos, Light, Dark, Space, Time, Fire, Water, Earth, Air]

[Vitality: STAR FORGER]

[Focus: - ]

[Strength: STAR FORGER]

[Law(s) : Aether- 55%, Karma-5%,Fate-100%,Chaos-51%, Light-8%, Dark-8%, Space-28%, Time-12%, Fire-83%, Water-83%, Earth-38%, Air-38%]

[Authority(s) : Aether Lord, Fate Lord, Chaos Lord, Flame Lord, Water Lord]

Beautiful numbers that were enough to make a grown man cry were displayed in front of him, the shocking speed of progress he had made in just a matter of days being visualized for the first time!

Multiple laws now littered his stat panel as he managed to break the 50% mark in the Law of Chaos, gaining yet another Authority aside from Aether that was just handed to him. Even more shocking was the rate of progress for the four laws that had amazing synergy- it was Fire, Water, Earth, and Air!

The synergy of cultivating these four laws at the same time allowed for him to simply speed run their advancements, the four Origin Cores of these laws spinning at such a rapid rate as they devoured all the essence they came across.

Yet as Noah stared at the new information on the laws of Karma, Aether, Light, Dark, Space, and Time...he couldn't help but bring a smile to his face while thinking of the future!

The Novus Galaxy had a grand plan aside from Noah completing his Infinite Mana trait, and it was a plan that Aldrich had helped to initiate as he sent out a signal to the chaotic Universe! Whatever this signal would bring to them...Noah had to be ready for it as it would determine the success or failure of the plan that his own Galaxy had concocted, and whether it faced another cycle of destruction and rebirth because of it!

It was a shocking and cruel plan when considering the lives of the creatures within this wide Novus Galaxy...yet Noah could not help but think back to the grand goal that the entity overseeing the Novus Galaxy had discussed with him back then, his face becoming firm as he chose to continue advancing his strength and make sure nothing went wrong.

Chapter 601 - A Party Sets Off

A brilliance that was reminiscent of gorgeous stars was continuously shining from an enormous Rift that stood at a central position of a Galaxy. This Rift towered over 100 miles in size, being something so ridiculously large that it could be seen from great distances away.

This rift was commonly known as the Universal Rift, a unique tool that the inhabitants of the Galaxy that just recently received a weak signal utilized!

Monitoring the signals coming through this rift was the job of the Watchers, a powerful group of beings chosen to tirelessly release their auras as they learned to communicate with this radiant Rift that allowed for them to reach the point they were at today.

The uses of the Universal Rift were many, and it made it possible for this Galaxy to stand strong over an unknown number of years as its inhabitants used this Universal Rift to explore the Chaotic Void of their Universe.

The first beings to utilize and test this Universal Rift realized that it had the capabilities to smoothly allow for the exploration of their Universe by allowing whoever stepped into it a smooth passage across the Chaotic Void!

A unique energy would surround the beings that passed through it, making them appear outside of the Galaxy as this unique essence given by the Universal Rift would surround them for an entire month before it disappeared.

This meant that one did not have to be a Grand Controller to be able to leave their Galaxy, where anyone bold enough to explore could do so!

Over the numerous years, the inhabitants of this Galaxy had done just that. Numerous explorations occurred as they rose to new heights and gained strength of colossal proportions, multiple Controllers and other powerful beings rising over the years.

More often than not, Grand Controllers were favored as they could traverse the Chaotic Void with ease, each party that was setting off for an exploration almost always leaving with one or two beings at the level of a Grand Controller.

But in this Galaxy, Controllers were not even the beings that were at the peak of power! Given the title of Law Masters, Controllers were actually just a powerful force that resided in this Galaxy and focused on the comprehension of Universal Laws. There was an even more terrifying force that was led by powerful beings that were directly chosen by this Galaxy and granted fearsome power to wield.

These were the beings that were granted Traits, beings that were known as Blessed!

The Blessed were powerful beings either born with a Trait or awaking to it in their prime, beings such as them becoming more and more prominent over the years as their Galaxy garnered more and more strength from their explorations.

It was like a feedback loop of elevating to higher levels of strength, where the inhabitants of the Galaxy went out to explore the unknown Universe and brought back spectacular treasures which enhanced the power of their Galaxy, this unique realm that had a Universal Rift within it continuing to rise over the eons as it now stood at an unshakable level of strength!

On this day though, another Exploration was about to occur as an advanced party was being sent to check out a weak Signal that Watchers had noticed being attracted to the Universal Rift. It was a Signal that was weaker than all the others they had come across, so the higher ups had simply given the task of checking out exactly what this signal was first.

Sometimes it was the signal of a Galaxy filled with treasures and wonders, other times it was a signal released by powerful entities seeking to devour unsuspecting beings for fun, or it could be an unknown treasure simply floating around the Chaotic Void of this vast Universe!

The Signal that was received recently would be checked out by a powerful group of Law Masters and Blessed, which consisted of multiple Controllers and beings with powerful Traits. Even though it was simply a scouting mission, all precautions were taken as the beings about to pass through this Universal Rift knew of dangers they could come across the Chaotic Void.

Near the Universal Rift, multiple beings adorned in regal attire walked across the golden floors below as they entered into an expansive chariot, this chariot having a shimmering starry blue barrier covering it as the animals that would be pulling it were fearsome creatures letting off an aura similar to that of a normal Controller.

This was known as an Imperial Vessel that was pulled by creatures commonly seen outside of Galaxies, creatures known as Void Beasts that could traverse through the Chaotic Void with ease!

These Void Beasts had wide dark wings swirling with runic circles as their bodies could very similarly be compared to a Gryphon, but their eyes oozed the power of Space and Chaos as they looked forward coldly, the reigns attaching them to the grand chariot making them shockingly seem like docile creatures.

Multiple figures entered this Imperial Vessel as a single stone-faced man sat at the forefront of this spectacular chariot, holding the reins as his essence of a Grand Controller fully tamed the Void Beasts that began releasing a powerful essence of Space and Chaos which caused the chariot to take to the skies.

RUMBLE!

The many Watchers and beings carefully observing and noting the changes of the Universal Rift gave their permission as the chariot pulled by Void Beasts flew forward, going into the Rift as they soundlessly disappeared!

On this day, a shimmering blue chariot pulled by Void Beasts entered a Universal Rift as they went on to search for a signal. Within this chariot known as an Imperial Vessel, three Law Masters and three Blessed took this exploration mission that would bring about unintended consequences.

This marked the first time that the Galaxy known as the Nexus Galaxy, a terrifyingly powerful realm that had survived eons and collected powerful beings of stupendous strength- it marked the first time that the forces of the Nexus Galaxy set off as they would come in contact with a being that would soon bring to fruition a spectacular Trait!

Chapter 602 - Into the Nebula Realm!

On another side of the Chaotic Void, a singular being in the Novus Galaxy continued to advance forward as multiple milestones were achieved.

The first milestone was the continued upgrade of his subordinates, the Harbingers of Sin and other powerful beings overseeing the Novus Galaxy actually being granted entrance past the golden barrier of the Central Realm!

Using the ability of Pocket Realm, Noah used it as a simple transfer portal as his subordinates came into the depths of the Central Realm with ease, their minds being shaken once more as they sensed an abundant atmospheric essence that was even greater than the Infinite Realm that was still expanding even now.

Noah had brought his subordinates over to the mystical clearing that had numerous Inheritance Crystals which contained the techniques of comprehending universal laws, and he gave them the option of choosing what law they wanted to follow!

Unlike him, none of them could afford to focus their attention on multiple laws, with his subordinates choosing the law that fit them best as they also embarked on their path to become future Controllers.

Kazuhiko's eyes shone when he glanced towards the Crystal containing the techniques of the Law of Chaos, looking at the dark glint as he rushed towards it right away. To him, he would finally be achieving his dream of releasing dark rays of chaotic light from his blade once he became proficient in the law of chaos!

Athena had only come into the Central Realm briefly as she sought to learn more of the truth of this realm that many Celestials fought for, being one of the last few remaining Celestials who had even been able to enter past the golden barrier. She remained on the path of the Law of Fate as her resolve became even stronger when looking at the level of strength her Junior Brother displayed, knowing that she had to work that much harder.

Others like the Kraken were humble as they remained comprehending the normal laws of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water. One particular Emperor Penguin was even bolder and more arrogant than the rest as he chose to study both the law of Time and Space, making it his goal to increase his spatial abilities and combining it with time to be even more deadly!

"RAA! RAA!"

Excitement was abound in the hearts of Noah's subordinates as they learned these techniques as well as the treasures of the Central Realm. Things like Luminescent Rainbow Dews that could upgrade one into the World Rank were free and many, with other treasures of similar potency or even stronger being able to be found in these deep areas of the realm.

Their goals of rapidly increasing in strength to catch up to Noah seemed to be possible at this moment as the next few days were spent with them making rapid progress!

The second milestone was the bringing another Skill Tree into the Star Forging Realm, Noah getting ready for whatever was coming as best as he could, and he chose the goal of bringing at least one more skill tree into the Nebula Realm before whoever received the released Signal came.

The skill trees he chose for this task were the Fate's Guardian skill trees! He chose Fate's Guardian naturally because the law of Fate was currently one of the only laws he had at 100%, and the skill tree would benefit greatly from its backing.

Over the past few days, the product of this skill tree at the Star Forging Realm had been produced as it added even more to his abilities, their skills seeming subpar at this point compared to Terror of Cthulhu skill tree currently at the Nebula Realm.

He gained another pair of skills that passively increased his comprehension of the law of Fate, as well as a skill termed Celestial King that was very similar to what Aldrich had used in the past battle!

But this skill tree was just one of the major things in Noah's mind, because he was currently focused on absorbing the Nebula Realm cores that he had obtained from the defeat of Aldrich.

He had chosen not to convert the Origin of Aldrich into skill points in order to obtain these cores, as the strength and resiliency of his level would matter just as much as the perks being given by becoming a Controller as he advanced to further stages!

From the stage of a Star Forger, one would have to destroy their very Origin that was in the shape of a star as they later used the shattered dust of this star to try and form a Nebula, an Origin that was so strong that it would contain multiple miniature small stars.

As Noah absorbed more and more Nebula Realm Cores, his Origin had continued vibrating at a high speed as it even caused the artificially formed Origin Cores of laws to bounce in excitement.

Within Noah's body, there existed not just his main Origin Core, but also the Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, and Dark Origin Cores!

He was shockingly walking around with multiple cores within his body, and his main one was about to dissolve into dust as it served as a base to build even more miniature stars in the future!

RUMBLE!

His main body was situated in a beautiful scenery of green as enormously tall ancient trees surrounded him, his position currently being in the depths of the Central Realm past the golden barrier as an overabundance of essence surrounded him.

Much of this essence was currently swirling towards him rapidly as he had already started the process of entering into the realm of a Nebula!

His Origin had been vibrating at a high frequency as a pained expression continued to deepen on his face, the process of essentially shattering one's own core before reforming into something grander being extremely dangerous.

CRACK! CRACK!

Lines of cracks spread throughout the Origin Core as Noah felt the other origins representing multiple laws rotate even faster, bringing a sense of stability as in the next millisecond...his main Origin shattered!

RUMBLE!

It felt as his Origin had been completely ground into dust, leaving behind a cloudy mass that began to circulate rapidly. This cloudy mass was the initial formation of a Nebula, and it needed enormous reserves of essence as it was circulating faster and faster while trying to birth multiple stars within.

Yet it turned out that at this time, the nearest sources of essence was the unique energy that the Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Dark Origin Cores that had been even more actively rotating and releasing essence as this multicolored assortment of energies rushed forward to build the stars within this Nebula!

The unique essence of Universal Laws themselves! Going towards building a single being's Nebula!

Such a thing was unheard of, and it would be the beginning of a shocking set of events as far from the Novus Galaxy where Noah was trying to condense his first stars, an entity that was freely floating in the Chaotic Void of the expansive Universe multiple light-years away opened his eyes the moment that Noah began establishing a new Core that was being built with the essence of Universal Laws themselves.

RUMBLE!

"After countless eons..."

WAA!

The body of the entity took a seated position as this moment as a shocking event played out light years away!

Chapter 603 - Too Many Eons!

The Entity floating amidst the Chaotic Void that would shred the defenses of any being that did not have a unique treasure or the essence of a Grand Controller had gotten to a seated position, his stature simply too enormous to even comment on how large it was, there being no suitable point of comparison in the current space he presided!

"Truly too many eons for such a being to rise again...hmm"

The Entity waves his hands as in front of it, a page that shone with the most gorgeous color of gold appeared.

This page had an archaic language written on it, the Entity reading the words of the page with a somber expression!

"A being with an Origin molded from the Universal Laws themselves...a being with multiple unique powers that will cause even the most powerful Void Beasts to tremble...Ah, why isn't there more information!"

RUMBLE!

The Entity grumbled with unhappiness as he waved his hands and caused the golden page to disappear, his gaze glancing around the chaotic void as he opened his mouth and began sucking in the surrounding void as if it was malleable, the Chaotic Void that could rip many beings apart actually being devoured by him rapidly as he patted his stomach thereafter and released a burp!

"Alright, guess I will continue searching for the remaining pages of this trash Book of Ruination. Such a pain..."

His body began moving through the Chaotic Void once more as this Entity continued forward while releasing shocking words.

"Too many eons have passed...too many..."

RUMBLE!

"If I just had more pages...maybe I would be able to locate you...Bah!"

OOOM!

This entity shockingly had the page of a treasure called the Book of Ruination, a treasure so extremely high that it should not even be talked about at this stage of the story!

This creature had been able to sense a change because it held a page from this book, noticing the advent of a being that had a core molded by the essence of the Universal Laws themselves!

Unbeknownst to many, this being moved!

Back in the Central Realm, a wondrous scene was occurring as amidst a forming nebula, the colors of red, blue, grey, green, white, and darkness that represented the numerous Law Origin Cores within Noah's body were freely flowing into the establishing nebula, the stars sprouting up having a spectacular array of colors as they shone with magnificence!

Within the spinning Nebula, colorful round stars had begun forming as one could count their numbers in tens!

This was an extremely shocking thing as those familiar with the process of stepping from the Star Forging Realm and into the Nebula Realm would know that normally, one would form a few stars within their new Nebula, with the norm being around 3 stars or geniuses forming close to 10 the moment they established their Nebula.

Yet Noah...! Noah had tens of stars forming within his Nebula during his first time condensing it, the starry nebula rotating heavily as if it was carrying enormous weight, the essence of numerous Universal Laws surging into it endlessly!

RUMBLE!

All the surrounding essence particles were also being sucked in rapidly as the many ancient trees around Noah lost their l.u. , even their essence being devoured as his Nebula took every source of essence that it could find.

BZZZ!

Its heavy rotations slowly got faster as this Nebula spun while absorbing even more energy, numerous small stars shimmering with color being seen within as a resplendent ray of multicolored light shot forth from Noah at this moment and pierced the skies of the Central Realm!

WAAA!

It was a magisterial sight of wonder that attracted the attention of the nearby Protectors and Infernals as they looked towards this sight with confounded shock.

Noah opened his eyes at this moment as he felt the rotating Nebula that drew in a ridiculous amount of energy at every rotation- energy from the Law Origin Cores, energy from his own body, and even atmospheric energy, all he could say as he felt this rotation was a feeling of unbound and wild strength!

This Nebula had a myriad of colors as it looked extremely beautiful, where one could actually get lost in it if they observed it long enough. The feeling of strength that this Nebula brought to him...was simply too much.

He felt like he could step out into the starry space as he threw out a fist towards a world...and this world would shatter!

He felt as if he could throw a punch in the skies and it would crack!

It was such a joyful feeling of strength as each of the cells within his body felt drunk by the unique essence floating through them, the 6 Origin Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Dark rotating even faster than when he was actively cultivating using their techniques...as if they were receiving an enormous pull from the Nebula they surrounded.

It was a shocking and much-welcomed development where even Noah did not understand the complete meaning of it!

[It seems a change has occurred with your very Origin, the essence of the Universal Laws becoming more closely entwined than they should be...]

He heard the voice of his own Realm System as he tried to sense the enormous changes within himself as well as his strength, but even he could not fully fathom it.

He released a breath as even his breath unconsciously released a colorful burst of mana, as if he was simply too full at this moment in time!

"How different is it from the breakthroughs of other Nebula Rank beings you've observed?"

Noah voiced out a question not towards his own Realm System, but towards the entity known as the Novus Galaxy as he received a reply soon after, the pain from hearing this voice being much dimmer after all this time.

[Completely different from what I have observed before. There should be a special property with your Nebula as it looks to be made of the unique essence of universal laws. I will see if it is possible to decipher it.]

RUMBLE!

Essence freely flowed from Noah in droves as he nodded, moving his body as explored this ridiculous feeling of strength while moving on to his next goal.

Shockingly, more than 50 Stars had formed within his Nebula at the time that he established it.

Fifty. F.u.c.k.i.n.g. Stars.

If the knowledgeable creatures of this expansive Universe heard this, they would tumble from their seats as they lost all hope in the meaning of what genius was!

Chapter 604 - The Requirements are Met!

As his main body ascended to new heights of power and ridiculous new possibilities he did not even fully know about yet, one of his clones was currently exploring the Letalis Expanse.

This was the same Letalis Expanse that was mysterious to him before as he moved while observing the positions of the Ancient Terror and the Terror of the Void that had gone back to their posts as commanded the day that Aldrich was defeated.

He could also sense the wild power of the Terror of Aether that had sulkingly returned back to its post after whatever the Novus Galaxy told it, but Noah could still feel boundless anger from the heart of the Cthulhu as it still was not convinced of why they invited doom over to themselves!

Even now as Noah thought about what the Novus Galaxy had told him, he had slight apprehension as it involved the lives of simply too many, but his apprehension was overshadowed by the possibilities that the Novus Galaxy spoke about as he resolved himself and continued forward.

He had been going around the Letalis Expanse the past few days as he connected more and more worlds from this Expanse while exploring the race of Ancients that he did not get the chance to interact with before.

Many of these Ancients actually stemmed from the Ancient Terror that stood at the level of a Controller, one of the three Terrors currently residing and watching the boundaries of the Novus Galaxy that were thinnest in this Expanse.

When one looked at a Galaxy, they could not just look at it as a circle with many things contained inside of it, but something that existed within its own space as it only had one side that could be seen as a door.

Using this analogy, the entirety of the Letalis Expanse could be considered as a door, the area that if one wanted to enter the Galaxy, it would have to be through here!

This was why the Three Terrors at the level of Controllers were stationed to monitor the boundary around the Letalis Expanse for the past thousands of years, and still the reason why they were there until now.

The rest of the Letalis Expanse had vibrant Prime Worlds that held the unique race of Ancients, with Noah coming across beings nearly the same as the ones he came across before when he used [Summon the Ancients] from the Blood Lord skill tree!

The Ancients living in the Letalis Expanse were very closely tied with the Terrors, their race being similar to the Infernals that had recently returned into the Central Realm as they also had the task to act as protectors.

The Vampyre Progenitor had originated from them, and this was why Noah believed that the [Blood Lord] skill tree that came with the bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor would lead to the abilities of the Ancient Terror when he made it into the Nebula Rank, very similar to how [Amorphous Space Beast] led to the abilities of the Terror of Aether!

Thus, he continued traversing the Letalis Expanse as he connected more of its worlds, the passing days allowing for the count of the Worlds integrating into the Infinite Realm to increase more and more rapidly.

RUMBLE!

At this moment, he had just finished the integration of another world when he felt a rumbling within his own Origin, his connection to the Infinite Realm communicating something to him as he stopped to pay attention.

[The time is nearing.]

OOOOM

His main body in the Central Realm heard the voice of the Novus Galaxy as he was still studying his newly built Nebula, the last World Integrated into the Infinite Realm causing some type of reaction as Noah could sense the entire Realm was overflowing with essence.

With the addition of this world, the goal of completing the Trait of Infinite Mana was actually nearing!

"You mentioned that you would know when the conditions are met?"

[Yes, the base requirement was for your Origin and Soul to be strong enough to withstand the last step, as well as your Realm being expanded into at least a Large Realm.]

The conditions were for him to achieve the Nebula Rank, which granted him a ridiculously strong Origin that was even more stupendous than even the Novus Galaxy expected with the unique formation where the essence of Universal Laws was now flowing within it, as well as his Realm being expanded multiple times as hundreds of Worlds were now integrated with it!

[All the hard parts are finished, and your Origin should be strong enough at this point to withstand the last step- which is establishing a connection...with the Novus Galaxy itself.]

RUMBLE!

To bring to fruition the Trait of Infinite Mana, he didn't need to spend months and years connecting and integrating every single World in the Novus Galaxy into his Realm, all he had to do was grow strong enough where he could withstand a connection with an entity at a much higher stage than him, and he would effectively share a connection with everything it was connected to!

[This will only be possible using your Infinite Realm as the intermediary for the connection, with it really being a three-way connection where I shall be connected to your Realm, and you are connected to it.]

Yes! Even though Noah had stepped into the Nebula Realm, the task of successfully forming a connection with an entire Galaxy was much too grand to even be thought about! But they could use other means to force a connection, and therein lay the use of the Infinite Realm!

"Good. Let us get started."

Noah's eyes shone with l.u. as he floated to the skies and went even deeper into the depths of the central realm. His face was calm as his heart beat soundly, not an ounce of nervousness appearing on his expression as he exuded strength and confidence.

This was the same being that was only a Rank F hunter a few months ago!

This was the same man that had been fighting with goblins in [Goblin King's Abode], the same man that was tussling with lowly Demon Lords in the Frozen Lands of the Beast World!

Yet now, he stood at the precipice of something grand as he set out to do something that others could not even imagine!

Chapter 605 - Trait: Infinite Mana I

The wings of change were rapidly blowing as many beings were taken into a grand new era.

The dynamics of the Light and Dark Expanse had changed greatly just over the span of the last few days, the name of the Overseer known as Noah Osmont beginning to spread around the two Expanses as he went around integrating worlds into his Realm.

Many beings came to know that a wondrous Realm called the Infinite Realm existed, and that this being that had quite literally wiped Celestials off the face of the Galaxy was the one controlling this Realm!

In just a matter of days as many worlds were integrated from the Expanses, the dynamics of power shifted greatly as many realized the strength they carried could not even be held in comparison.

Yet even before the beings could absorb this change as they learned to adapt to this starting of a new Era, Noah was changing things once again as his main body appeared in front of a huge blue door!

This door was near the position where his home world used to be, and it was also the door that led into the Infinite Realm.

Noah's hands rested upon this shimmering blue door as he utilized a feature of the Infinite Realm that would make possible what he wanted to do!

[Realm Gateway] :: A shimmering blue archaic door of light is all that remains of the Infinite Realm to the outside universe as it exists in its own spatial space. This Gateway can be shifted under the will of the Infinite Realm Master, as well as set restrictions for the beings allowed in or out.

RUMBLE!

His mana rushed into it as the gateway shone with l.u. , disappearing along with him as he transported it towards the Central Realm.

This blue door was the only official entrance of the Infinite Realm that was located in its own spatial space, and this space could be easily accessed by the Novus Galaxy when Noah brought its gateway into another Realm!

He reappeared at the depth of the area past the golden barrier as he moved forward, creating for a spectacular scene as the Protectors and Infernals all around the area turned their heads upwards to observe a shocking scene.

They observed a single being with his hand placed on an archaic blue door, and this being was flying through the skies as he dragged this archaic blue door with him!

It was a majestic sight to come across as Noah continued going deeper into the Central Realm, his surroundings gradually changing as more and more vegetation came to be, even the numbers of Protectors reducing as it was becoming quieter and quieter.

He continued forward while dragging the archaic blue door behind him, following the guidance of the Novus Galaxy as he came upon a small grove of thick ancient trees in a circular formation.

The Ancient Trees seemed to be surrounding something, their leaves wriggling and shifting as Noah neared and created an opening.

Noah patted the door that he was dragging as it became smaller in size, entering through the area where the ancient trees created an entrance as he appeared in what could be considered an entirely different space.

His eyes shone as within the encirclement of the ancient grove of trees where no outside light could penetrate, it shimmered brightly as colorful particles of elements were abundantly floating around. Essence of all colors freely overflowed in a gorgeous array of green, red, blue, white, and gold as they danced around a single black core!

This core was unlike anything that Noah had come across before, observing it being completely still as it made no movements at all since he appeared! It had a glossy obsidian black color that actually reflected Noah's own devilishly handsome face, showing his figure and the outline of the shimmering archaic blue door he dragged with him.

Shockingly, as he came across what should be the core of an entire galaxy, there weren't some brilliantly rotating miles long core that was at the deepest depths of a hard to get location- it was simply an obsidian core staying entirely still in the middle of an ancient grove of trees!

The only thing different was the fact that there was an extremely dense amount of universal law essences in this area, where Noah could feel all the particles of different laws visibly move even in liquid form the nearer they were to the obsidian dark core.

[At the end of it all, everything returns to simplicity. Galaxies have a tremendous amount of power, but they also have grand restrictions that make them extremely vulnerable.]

RUMBLE!

[If an enemy had somehow managed to break through the boundaries of the Letalis Expanse, and then the golden barrier was breached, and then all my Protectors failed to stop their advance...they would be able to pry open the trees around me and do as they wish.]

The words of the Novus Galaxy revealed more and more information as Noah let the blue archaic door representing the entrance of his realm float alongside the river of universal law essences around this mystical obsidian black core, his hands instinctively reaching towards it as it looked very enticing!

[Careful, even a small touch or mistake can cause the deaths of trillions. The cores of Galaxies are some of the most fragile things in existence, which is a ridiculous paradox when considering what they are able to do.]

His hands pulled back as he adopted a serious expression and contained his wonder inside of him.

"What do I need to do?"

[At this point, focus on your connection with the Infinite Realm. The singular connection that you share with it. During this whole process, you will need to focus on the stability of this connection the most as I open up a channel between myself and your Realm.]

RUMBLE!

[I will share a connection with your Realm and not you directly, but just this action will be enough to fully bring the Trait of Infinite Mana into a reality as I will have met all conditions to grant it at that stage.]

Yes! Traits had requirements that had to be fulfilled if they were crazy powerful, and the requirement of the ridiculous Trait of Infinite Mana was for one to really have a source where they could use as much mana as they wished without ever having to worry!

The Universe would be forced to acknowledge and grant this trait when a being who would actually share a connection with an entire galaxy appeared, as no matter what he did in his lifetime- he truly would never be able to run out of energy! Thus, Infinite Mana would be fully bright into fruition!

Chapter 606 - Trait: Infinite Mana II

In the ancient grove where the essence of universal laws was freely flowing around an obsidian core, Noah took a deep breath as he sat down while closing his eyes, his entire mind focusing on his Infinite Realm as he even utilized [Skill Creation] to make two new skills to support his thoughts and make sure that everything went smoothly.

After spending 30 Skill Points in total, the skills [Ultra Speed Computing] and [Parallel Though Enhancement Support] came to be as his mind was further enhanced, grasping all the minute details that would have made any being's head hurt!

RUMBLE!

The moment that he was able to fully focus on the connection he shared with his Infinite Realm, a change finally occurred as the obsidian core that represented the core of an entire Galaxy shone with a distinct light, a black line released from it as it latched onto the archaic blue door that represented the entrance of this realm.

This black line briefly stopped on the surface of the blue door before it pierced through instantly, entering into a different spatial area as a shocking sight occurred in the Infinite Realm on this day.

Many beings within the realm were able to observe it with their eyes just briefly, and from the stories played out in the future, some said they saw a flash of a dark line that shot from the skies and pierced deep into the Infinite Realm!

This was actually what happened, this thin black line being the connection that the Novus Galaxy was forming as it found the core of Noah's Infinite Realm as it smashed into it with a purpose!

RUMBLE!

[Connection initiating.]

Noah heard the words of his System that had now begun resonating with the cold voice of the Novus Galaxy, the voices ringing out in conjunction within his mind as he focused all his mental faculties on keeping his connection with the Infinite Realm.

Within the Realm itself though, great changes were occurring as the back like that had appeared and disappeared briefly had begun causing great changes, the establishing of a connection between a Galaxy and a Realm creating for a wondrous exchange of essence as the atmospheric levels of mana in the Infinite Realm began rising crazily once again.

In the Infinite Realm, the Harbingers had exasperated expressions as they truly did not even know what was happening now!

So many shocking events after shocking events continued to occur that they thought they were ready for anything, but they were proven wrong at every turn.

At this moment, the inhabitants of the Infinite Realm felt strong waves of essence vibrating and permeating throughout as it went yet another grand change.

[No errors have occurred. Beginning Synchronization.]

RUMBLE!

In the ancient groove of the Central Realm where the obsidian core of the Novus Galaxy existed, Noah heard this voice again as his brow began sweating, feeling the connection he shared with his Realm rapidly expanding!

The line of connection that could be observed by him in a cylindrical manner was expanding more and more, ballooning to greater sizes as a connection was formed between his Infinite Realm and the Novus Galaxy.

RIIING!

The black light that represented the connection shooting forth from the Novus Galaxy seemed like a tout string that had found an anchor on both sides, vibrating rapidly as the atmospheric essence of the Infinite Realm began to rise ever so greater!

[Synchronization successful.]

[Connection established. Beginning the process of granting a Trait.]

RUMBLE!

When Noah thought the process would slow down or even pause briefly as he sensed the enormous cylindrical line within his mind that actually still continued to expand even after the connection between his Realm and the Novus Galaxy continued- the process sped up even faster as the Novus Galaxy initiated the culmination of the Trait right away, Noah unconsciously raising his head to the skies as he felt a burning sensation with his very Origin!

This sensation was actually a branding, a ritual where a certain trait was being attached to his very Origin and Soul, a process of a Trait being granted to him!

This would be the first Trait that the Novus Galaxy granted to any creature, and this entity had chosen to do this purposefully so because the being granted the first Trait was special- being granted their abilities in the most optimum and powerful form.

For the past thousands of years since its last cycles of destruction, not a single trait had been granted to any creatures in the Novus Galaxy as most only fumbled through the levels of power and dabbled into laws. Yet today, the first being to have a trait would be born in the Novus Galaxy as it gained its first Blessed!

[Trait culmination and harmony confirmed.]

RUMBLE!

Noah felt the branding on his soul heat up as he felt a sense of tremendous calm and accomplishment, feeling 'something' appearing within him that wasn't fully there before, this 'something' granting him an enormous sense of freedom and power!

[A New Trait has been born.]

OOOOM!

A magisterial sight played out around Noah at this moment as his body subconsciously lifted off the ground, the color blue dominantly spreading out from him as his body shone brightly!

CRACK!

As this mana was senselessly leaking from his body, the surrounding earth below him cracked at the pressure as the soil became ground to dust, an awe-inspiring presence shooting forth from him as crackles of blue energy coiled around his body.

This was mana! Pure and una.d.u. mana!

Mana that he could choose to do whatever he wanted with as at this point, no matter what realm of power he achieved- he would never ever have to worry about his reserves of energy!

It did not matter if he stayed at the Nebula Rank or somehow crossed ten ranks above it, for as long as he lived he would always have what his trait foretold- Infinite Mana!

RUMBLE!

His eyes opened at this moment as resplendent and gorgeous arcs of blue light permeated out from them, his form at this moment looking extremely ethereal as there was such an overabundance of mana that it was leaking from his eyes as they took on a form of shining blue lights with arcs of mana occasionally flashing out.

OOOOOOH!

He released a primal below that shook the skies and earth as he announced the arrival of something grand, the arrival of a Trait that would comfortably stand above many Traits in this unexplored universe.

He was announcing the arrival of Infinite Mana!

Chapter 607 - What are your traits?

As Noah completed a new trait in the Novus Galaxy, a grand chariot was being pulled across the chaotic void of the Universe by two fierce Void Beasts.

This chariot caused for a mystical sight to play out as these ferocious beasts seamlessly trudged along the chaotic void and carried along with them the inhabitants that were coming from the Nexus Galaxy.

The bodies of these Void Beasts released a mystical aura of chaos and space, this chaotic void actually making them feel as if they were home as they happily moved forward while directed by the essence of a Grand Controller!

Inside this carriage, two Law Masters aside from the Grand Controller and three Blessed were sitting in contemplation or talking with each other.

At this time, one of the Law Masters, a being that comprehended the law of fire in its entirety- glanced towards the three Blessed as an envious light flashed through his eyes. He couldn't help but ask out carefully as the colorful essence of fire danced around him.

"So...what are you guys' Traits?"

The question was a simple one, but it caused for a weird atmosphere to develop inside of the magnificent Imperial Vessel as it dealt with the unique powers of the beings they were working with!

But the Blessed at the very forefront smiled as he spoke out mildly, his extremely white hair and frosty appearance adding on to a mysterious air about him.

"My Trait is [Ice Man]. I can utilize the element of ice even better than a controller of the law of water to the point that I'm capable of turning my entire body into a pure form of ice as no physical attacks can even reach me."

RUMBLE!

The envy in the eyes of the fire Law Master only increased as he heard these powerful words, his eyes going towards the other two Blessed that also had smiling expressions as if they knew of their high status!

The man at the forefront continued as they pointed towards the other two Blessed beside him.

"This one has the trait that is called [Supernova], where each one of her strikes always releases the explosive force of a dying star."

The Blessed holding the Trait of [Ice Man] pointed to a curvaceous woman beside him as another shocking trait was revealed, with the voice of the frosty Blessed continuing to ring out!

"Lastly, my friend here has the trait called [Ability Mimic] that effectively allows him to mimic and display the abilities of his opponents."

Every single word that left the Blessed's mouth on what trait he and his two partners held had only caused the envy of the Fire Law Controllers eyes to increase, only the eyes of the other Controllers trying to remain without a change as the majestic chariot continued to traverse the chaotic void.

The Grand Controller that was at the forefront of the chariot and releasing his essence to steer the Void Beasts listened to this conversation as he only smiled, speaking out towards the five others inside the chariot at this moment.

"With this signal that we are exploring, we don't really know what we might come across. So your Traits and our masteries in the Universal Laws will work together nicely to defend against anything that we come across."

His voice was magnetic as it held a sense of power that only Grand Controllers that fully comprehended a Supreme Law could feel!

The others nodded at the words of the Grand Controller as even the three Blessed took on serious looks. This was because even they could not simply look down upon a being that had mastered a Supreme Law, and this being steering the Imperial Vessel had comprehended the Supreme Law of Chaos!

"We were lucky so far to not have come across too many powerful Void Beasts, where all of the ones that appeared I could easily take care of. But keep your minds sharp as anything can happen!"

The eyes of the Grand Controller were vigilant as the aura of chaos spread out from him calmly, sensing the many happenings of the Chaotic Void around him as he used his unique essence of a Grand Controller to continue steering the two Void Beasts pulling the Imperial Vessel forward.

"What if we are unlucky and the signal was a powerful entity?"

At this point, the frosty Blessed posed a question as the Grand Controller laughed warily.

"Haha, we can only try to run at that point. Only a few parties have been unlucky enough to come across dangerous entities that cared enough to act against them, and we never heard from them again."

His expression was portraying calm, but he knew there was a level of danger with the task they were undertaking where anything could go wrong!

"Anyways, I assume that you three should have been given some life-saving Talismans from the Imperials, yes?"

The Grand Controller said this to the three Blessed as they scratched their heads with smiles.

"The life-saving measures are only enough to survive against an extremely powerful Grand Controller's or a Beginner Assimilator's attacks for a short period of time as we try to make an escape."

The frosty Blessed holding the Trait of [Ice Man] said this as he shook his head, a somber atmosphere occupying the inside of the majestic chariot.

"We shall see. Normally a signal reaching the Universal Rift should not be something too dangerous or too meaningless."

The Grand Controller voiced his words as the Imperial Vessel continued traversing across the chaotic void with even more speed, only a streak of light being visible in the utter darkness of the terrifying void.

These beings from the Nexus Galaxy were heading towards a singular location. The location where a Grand Controller of Fate had actually shattered a portion of the boundary of his own galaxy and released the signal that reached them!

As these beings traversed towards the source of this signal, towards the Novus Galaxy, one would wonder exactly what they planned to do once they found it!

Chapter 608 - Why stop at one?!

In the Novus Galaxy, Noah was floating in the skies of the Central Realm as his body took in the feeling of strength and power that his newly granted Trait gave him.

The Trait of Infinite Mana didn't reinforce his body or grant him strength in any visible way, but it gave him the feeling of power that made him think he could do anything he wanted!

This was a unique feeling the very few beings could come across, and Noah was feeling it because of the fact that from now on until whatever stage he reached in his journey, he would always have Infinite Mana!

[With the success of granting this Trait, you have fully taken the mantle of the Champion off this galaxy.]

RUMBLE!

The voice of the entity that controlled the Novus Galaxy rang out in his mind as Noah sensed the connection that was now added to his Infinite Realm.

He shared a connection with the Infinite Realm, and now the Infinite Realm shared a connection with the Novus Galaxy itself!

He could continuously observe new changes continue to occur as every second passed in the Infinite Realm, and all of these changes could be attributed to the singular black line that represented the connection that this realm now shared.

[The lives of the trillions in this galaxy. Those you know, and those that you do not know. They are now all intertwined with your future actions and mine.]

[Whether we succeed or undergo another cycle of destruction and rebirth will depend on our actions from here on.

As Noah heard these heavy words, he shook his head as he completely wiped away any feelings of weakness or uncertainty from his mind. His thoughts became calm and he affirmed to himself that he would succeed!

He glanced at the blinking Stat Panel in front of his eyes as new changes displayed themselves, but he focused on a single row that displayed new information.

He saw that a new section had appeared which displayed his Trait of Infinite Mana!

[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant), Grand Controller(Fate)]

[Trait(s) : Infinite Mana]

[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor]

...

He simply stared at the top of the stat panel as he focused on the newly appearing section with shining eyes. If one was perceptive enough, they would be able to notice the way that the stat panel was structured held its own meaning.

When one looked at the section that displayed the titles, it showed [Title(s)] that put an 'S' in the parentheses which indicated that one could start with one title and gain many, thus having the singular and plural form of the word displayed on the Stat Panel!

The same applied to the section listing [Bloodline(s)] as at this moment, in the section that displayed Noah's Infinite Mana Trait, one could also see the singular word Trait with the parentheses of 's' attached to them!

This shocking hidden clue actually showed that in the future there was a possibility not just for one Trait, but multiple!

RUMBLE!

Noah's eyes became even firmer as he stared at the word of Traits on the stat panel and thought about the words of the Novus Galaxy days ago when he confronted it and asked for the reason why she let Aldrich release a signal that would effectively endanger all of them. This memory was very vivid in his mind!

At that time, the words of the Novus Galaxy had shocked him!

[I have undergone multiple cycles of destruction and rebirth. I am tired of it, and I never want to experience that again. Thus when the change happened, I vowed to make a Champion that wouldn't just stand above other beings, but a champion that would completely and unilaterally be able to smash all of them into nothingness.]

While talking through the 1st Infernal Lord, a cruel and wicked enchanting smile had appeared on what would be a normally blank face, the Novus Galaxy feeling very strongly about this issue!

[Infinite Mana as a Trait was only the first stage of this. It was a trait that granted the Champion all the mana for them to do whatever they wanted, and it was such a shocking trait that it could raise one to be a future powerful entity in this unexplored Universe.]

At that time when Noah heard these words, his heart was shaken as he realized that the plans of the Novus galaxy did not just finish at one trait!

[Since one trait can give you such a power, why not another? Why not a third? Why not a fourth? What if...what if we continue along this path as we create something that will be able to trample on any being that ever thought about standing in our way. Why stop here?]

RUMBLE!

The words of the Novus Galaxy were extremely cold and dominating when she talked about this, as Noah sensed a variety of emotions in them that were surging with confidence and arrogance!

But the more he heard them, the more that his heart beat even faster as those same thoughts began to occupy his mind.

If a single trait that required so many conditions just to be bought to fruition would be able to create a future entity that would be powerful enough to stand among the ranks of the unknown entities of the unexplored universe, what if you simply had another trait just as powerful as it?

What if he had three or four?! This shocking thought occupied his mind as it seemed to be the only thing he could see, but of course, there were rules that restricted such things to be brought to fruition! As the universal laws would have it...a being could only have a single trait!

That is why only Galaxies could grant Traits to their inhabitants, and the Traits were branded into their very origin and soul. It was because of this problem, because of this universal restriction, that the Novus Galaxy let a signal be released into the outside universe.

The Novus Galaxy had actually invited unknown forces that would hopefully be from another galaxy in order to just bypass just this single restriction!

She had a grand plan that involved bypassing the restriction of the galaxy only being able to grant a single trait to a being residing within! She had thrown out the bait of the signal to whatever galaxy caught it as she planned to do something terrifying to whatever force they sent in order to achieve her goals.

[If I cannot grant you another Trait because of such stupid restrictions, then I will simply have another Galaxy do it for you...]

[For the goal of creating an unbeatable Champion...for the sake of gaining strength to withstand all the terrifying unknowns waiting for us...this will succeed!]

RUMBLE!

A terrifying plan! A scheming Novus Galaxy! Just what exactly would come out of all this?!

Chapter 609 - Peace

As Noah completed the terrifying Trait of Infinite Mana, the beings connected to him simply experienced the huge changes of the Infinite Realm that continued to get denser and denser atmospheric essence as it further strengthened their resolve to get stronger.

In the core area of the Infinite Realm where the central continent of the Spiritual World used to be, an arrogant penguin had his beak raised high as he faced thousands of beasts, beings that the penguin considered his brothers and sisters!

The area they were currently in was filled with the universal essence of space as it was very conducive to cultivating the Law of Space, and the Emperor Penguin was currently acting as the teacher as he faced the crowd of beasts.

This arrogant Penguin was floating at the forefront as one could see that in order to fit into the role of a teacher more, this penguin had adorned a nice fitting white suit that shone with great contrast to his sleek black feathers, the appearance of a bow tie being even more prominent as it gave the Emperor Penguin an appearance that would make many beings stop on their tracks!

"RAA!"

He released a bellow that relayed his intentions to the many beasts, each of them activating [Disciple of Space] as they tried to comprehend this law around them, some of them beginning to display their skills as they bowed to the Emperor Penguin and sought guidance.

It was a carefree and peaceful scene of these beings only striving their best to get stronger, because even though the Overseer of the Infinite Realm had not relayed them any information that made them feel any sense of danger, many of them were still striving to improve their strength as they saw the continued changes of the Infinite Realm every day!

Noah had not yet told anyone else about the events that occurred at the boundary of the Novus Galaxy and the Signal sent out, or that a force could be making its way towards here at this moment. He knew that his subordinates would grow to be extremely powerful in time as they used the resources of the Infinite Realm and the Novus Galaxy, but they were currently nowhere near being ready to face beings that could traverse the Chaotic Void.

He knew the knowledge that because the Novus Galaxy had finally granted him the first Trait of this Galaxy, it could now begin to awaken Traits on those that met the qualifications or those who were destined for them as many beings would gain even greater forms of power in the coming future!

But the battle to come, Noah would most likely be fighting it alone, only supported by the fearsome Terrors that held the titles of Controllers. Thus, his subordinates had no idea of what was coming, but they still instinctively continued to train with even more vigor.

Aside from the Emperor Penguin who was working to improve the strength of the high ranking beasts of the Infinite Realm, there were also Barbatos, Athena, Elena, and many others that were doing just the same!

In one region of the Infinite Realm that was filled with the essence of Chaos, Barbatos was sitting on a throne of bones releasing a distinct black hue that continuously strengthened thousands of high ranking Undead of a powerful Legion that she herself was creating, this legion being reinforced by the power of Chaos as she chose to comprehend this law.

Her gaze was distant as her fingers unconsciously released essence, her thoughts rotating around a single being as she felt the continuing changes of the Infinite Realm and sighed!

"Ah, Little Fish..."

She thought of a single man who seemed to be elevating himself to greater and greater heights each day, her resolve of getting stronger only increasing as she sought to go towards the same level of power as this being! To just be able to stand alongside him while raising her head high!

Barbatos was not the only one with these emotions as in another location, Athena was actually facing the three remaining Mythical Beasts of the Beast World, some of the Demon Lords from the Demon World, and various other beings all over the Infinite Realm that sought to learn the law of Fate.

One could also see Old Man Inuit and Fritz by the side giving their own guidance, these old beings looking at their surroundings in shock and awe still as the fantastical sights continued to play around them.

Athena was currently following the routine where she aided those needing to see the techniques of Fate in the Infinite Realm for half of her day, using the other half of the day to traverse the Light and Dark Expanse with Old Man Inuit and Fritz as they continued to oversee the healing period for these two Expanses.

Her goal of seeking Order was still just as steadfast as she also had another reason to seek for strength at this time.

ROAR!

In another location of the Infinite Realm, one could observe a fearsome Draconic Fire Behemoth nearing 100 meters in size, the pet known as Draco having grown to the powerful peak of the World Rank as it sparred with Elena and hundreds of other Vampyres.

Scenes like these were abundant all over the Infinite Realm as many beings strengthened themselves while feeling a period of peace.

This sense of peace was enhanced even more when they looked at the nearly endless resources of the Infinite Realm!

Anytime they wished, they could walk to a nearby field that would be filled with wondrous medicinal herbs or fruits that were potent with essence, aiding them in regenerating their strength or even advancing through ranks as they enjoyed an atmosphere that very few could come across!

Even while feeling this peace, many of the top commanders under Noah were nearing the rank of Star Forgers as time passed while they also began traversing in the path of laws. Being in an environment where they could dedicate all of their time to training while keeping calm hearts, it was actually the perfect recipe to create powerful soldiers that would grow their strength at terrifying speeds.

Even if they would be nowhere near as close as Noah when it came to their breakthroughs and even with comprehending laws, it would not take them hundreds of years like their predecessors for them to achieve high levels of strength!

Just a few years would be enough to produce multiple experts, and Noah even expected to have multiple Controllers in around 10 years or less as he thought about his subordinates and all the opportunities they had access to!

But for all of this to come to fruition, he had to make sure that the plan of the Novus Galaxy was carried out seamlessly, that whatever they invited would be taken care of with no problems as he would then continue on this grand journey!

Chapter 610 - [Controller](Fire, Water)

As Noah repeated the words of Novus Galaxy in his mind over and over again, he was staring at the description of his Trait while continuing to sense the confounding sense of power from his Origin that had birthed a Nebula.

[Infinite Mana] (Unranked) :: Its uses are pure and simple, granting exactly what the trait says. The holder of this Trait can cast as many abilities as he wants for however long he wants, with mana never being an issue for them. It is currently unranked as there is very limited knowledge of where it might stand amongst the numerous Traits in the outside galaxies.

Noah glanced at the details of the Trait as he smiled, knowing that on this day, he could full well look down upon all others when it comes to the reserves of mana as he can confidently ask- Mana depletion? What's that?

His smile was wide as he glanced at the description of this trait with vigor, only being taken out of this trance when he felt his Origin begin to vibrate with power!

He sent his awareness in as he found the now over 50 stars in his Nebula floating in a mystical formation, each of these stars contributing to granting him stupid levels of attack and defensive power.

If beings in the Star Forging Realm were powerful because they had a star supporting them in their Origin, one would only have to think a little to understand the realm of power where a being at the Nebula Rank had multiple stars that were doing just the same!

This created for a vast gulf for beings in the Nebula Rank, where one could have tens of stars while others only had two or three- the former being able to trample on the one holding fewer stars with ease!

But currently, the reason that Noah's origin was shaking was because extremely pure streams of essence continued to come from the law Origin Cores surrounding his Nebula, but the current flow of universal essence was even stronger from two particular Origin Cores- the Fire and Water Origin Cores.

This was because the comprehension of these two laws...were about to hit 100%!

RUMBLE!

Tremors spread out because of the majestic energy as the size of the red and blue cores were the second largest after Noah's Nebula, where they were glowing even brighter than the Light and Dark Origin cores that were a level higher in terms of laws.

Their rotation only increased as the seconds passed, and Noah felt their vibrations reach a breaking point as the two Origin Cores came to halt instantly...thereafter exploding into a shower of colors as they were both ground into dust!

Similar to how his Nebula formed, the Origin Cores of Fire and Water had dissolved into milky red and blue particles as they actually formed the base of a Nebula, extremely small red and blue stars beginning to erupt from these Nebulae as Noah felt an even more intense rush of universal essence washing over his own Origin.

This was an extremely interesting sight to come across as in the vast Galaxies, Nebulae were huge cl.u. of gas and dust in space that come about from the supernova of a dying star, and they are also the regions where new stars begin to form as they were actually termed the Nursery of Stars!

Seeing the Origins of two laws forming into a Nebula at this moment represented a grand future that showed the path of these laws was only just beginning.

The two newly appearing Nebulae that represented the comprehension of law of Fire and Water vibrated with essence as they began to float around Noah's main Nebula in a circular motion, following the same path as the four other Origin Cores of Air, Earth, Light, and Dark that were all still singular circular origin cores!

But the essence they released towards Noah's Origin was ten times what the other cored released, Noah feeling this awe-inspiring sense of strength as he looked at his Stat Panel.

[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant), Grand Controller(Fate), Controller(Fire, Water)]

[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor]

[Aether Particles(s) : 6,294,563]

[Authority(s) : Aether Lord, Fate Lord, Chaos Lord, Flame Lord, Water Lord]

Shockingly, he had just seamlessly advanced forward as he became a Controller in another two universal laws, where he now stood at the level where he had complete comprehension of 3 laws!

He focused his attention towards the two newly appearing titles of Controller.

[Controller](Fire) :: A title granted to those with complete comprehension of the law of Fire. All fire-related skills will exhibit their power at the level of a Controller regardless of their rank, the user beginning to embark on truly understanding the essence of Fire. The essence of a Fire Controller allows them to be immune to any fire-based attacks of those at lower stages of the Law of Fire.

[Controller](Water) :: A title granted to those with complete comprehension of the law of Water. All water-related skills will exhibit their power at the level of a Controller regardless of their rank, the user beginning to embark on truly understanding the essence of Water. The essence of a Water Controller allows them to be immune to any water-based attacks of those at lower stages of the Law of Water.

Nearly identical descriptions with the only changes being whether it was fire or water were displayed in his eyes, Noah gaining two more Laws that granted him the title of a Controller as he could actually claim Immunity to any beings with less advancement in the two laws!

Another even more ecstatic thing was the fact that being a Controller of the laws of Fire and Water allowed one to display the immense power of such a level on all possible cast skills of the user.

This made Noah's eyes shine with l.u. as he imagined a shocking sight of him defeating powerful enemies with skills of the lowest tier!

"Haha!"

He gave a boisterous laugh as he was not the least beast fearful of whatever was coming, his main body letting his clones continue their advancement in the laws and proficiencies of a particular skill tree that would soon enter into the ranks of Nebula as he went off towards the Letalis Expanse.

His 100% comprehension in the law of Fate told him that whatever was coming would be upon them in just a day or two, thus he went towards the only location that any Outsiders could enter- and that was the Letalis Expanse where three Terrors were stationed!

Chapter 611 - I Want Their Origins!

The vast Letalis Expanse was eerily quiet at this time, the progeny of the Ancient Terror living within sensing the winds of change as they knew something was coming!

These were the only creatures of the Novus Galaxy to sense anything amiss, with only a few others in the Light and Dark Expanse being able to notice something. Some of these beings included Old Man Inuit and Fritz, who had some proficiency in the laws of Karma and Fate as they recently felt a sense of foreboding that came and passed infrequently!

Old Man Inuit had asked Noah about this just to be sure, and Noah had told him that it was not anything for them to worry about, not revealing the shocking truths behind what was to soon happen.

Since they were not strong enough at this moment, Noah wanted to let the beings of the Novus Galaxy continue to expand their skills and increase their power, as they could fight all they wanted in the future!

As long as he and the Novus Galaxy succeeded in their scheme the next few days, it would set up for a grand future where wars for the beings of the Novus Galaxy to join would only be an inevitability. When this time came and they were sufficiently strong enough, he would let them freely fight as much as they wanted.

At this moment though, his figure appeared in an unstable location in the Letalis Expanse where one could feel a dreadful amount of Aether dancing around, Noah actually coming to the location where the Cthulhu was normally stationed as he prepared to intercept whoever came.

RUMBLE!

The Cthulhu felt his presence as its star-sized red eyes opened slightly, only turning into slits before they closed fully thereafter as if it did not even want to glance towards Noah!

Noah smiled at this as he saw the majesty of the Terror of Aether while also understanding its emotions. Made for the purpose of protecting the Novus Galaxy, yet its Master continued to conduct unexplainable things over and over again until now, an unknown force was coming towards them because of it.

Even after listening to the Novus Galaxy, the Cthulhu still kept to its belief that they did not need to provoke the hornets' nest, and they could have continued peacefully while slowly amassing their strength to only protect themselves if they needed to! This was why the Cthulhu did not look favorably towards Noah, even with the knowledge that he was this Galaxy's chosen Champion!

There was a stark silence in the dreadful space filled with Aether as Noah looked like a grain of sand in the starry space when next to the star sized Cthulhu.

"..."

"Can you not go patrol somewhere else?"

The Cthulhu's words were unruly as even while knowing full well that it was speaking to the Galaxy's Champion, it showed its distaste as its numerous tentacles wriggled dangerously. Noah let out a light laugh at the words of this being he adopted the power of through the Terror of Aether Skill Tree, replying as his eyes stared at the blank space all around them until they landed on the boundary of the Novus Galaxy far away.

"I wanted to be next to someone I admired. Your abilities got me where I am today."

"Hmph."

The red star sized eyes of the Cthulhu opened as they showed the immense power within, its rumbling voice sounding out again.

"Another one of me is not nearly enough to stop whatever you all invited towards us."

"I am not just another one of you, though."

Noah replied quickly as he looked into the huge eyes of the Terror of Aether that took up the surrounding hundreds of miles, his voice continuing to ring out.

"The first Trait holder in the Novus Galaxy, the first natural Grand Controller, the first to hold multiple completed universal law comprehensions..."

RUMBLE!

Noah listed out his achievements as the eyes of the Cthulhu shone with a red light, listening silently before they turned towards the starry space above them!

"Even with all that, even if you win...her plan is simply..."

The red light in the eyes of Cthulhu intensified as it thought of the apparent plan that Noah was told not too long ago. This plan of the Novus Galaxy was truly a terrifying one, with many hidden things that were not revealed even until now.

They very closely dealt with whatever Outsiders came searching for the signal they sent out, and it was actually tied even closer to Traits!

To understand exactly what was in store, one must grasp what a Trait actually meant.

The origin of Traits stemmed from a Galaxy towards its inhabitants, where a single being would only ever hold a single Trait throughout their lives. Yet the Novus Galaxy wanted a Champion who held multiple Traits, a being that could look down upon any enemies that came with extreme strength.

Noah recalled the words of the Novus Galaxy as he floated near the baleful area of Aether next to the Cthulhu.

[To do this, to even have the possibility of making this plan possible, I will need the origins of the powerful beings that are hopefully from another Galaxy. If they are powerful entities from the Chaotic Void, it would be a failure as we would have to try again, given that we survive that entity of course.]

RUMBLE!

The terrifying plan of the Novus Galaxy was revealed at that point as one could feel a maddened hunger for power and survival, a hunger of a being that had undergone multiple cycles of destruction and rebirth! This hunger was caused by the fact that this entity did not want to go through it again!

Such a plan bordered on the extreme, and it was the reason why Cthulhu disagreed with it! Yes...Noah actually found himself looking forward to it as he thought of the many unknown possibilities.

They were simply too many wondrous things in this Galaxy, and in the larger unexplored Universe that he had yet to step out to. As he accomplished his trait of Infinite Mana, his eyes were looking towards even grander horizons that he had yet to even see as he wondered just what else was out there!

As for whatever the released signal would call towards them? Well, he was getting ready for this as well as even at this moment his clones were working hard to push another Skill Tree into the rank of Nebula. But in the coming battle, all he wanted to do was freely go rampant as he utilized his Trait to the fullest! He wanted to spam whatever enemy acting against them to death! He wanted to do many things as he sought to see the limit of where he could reach with the power he held.

"I really think it will all be fine."

Calm words rang out in the space filled with Aether as the eyes of the Cthulhu locked towards Noah's extremely small figure, the eyes trying to see behind this being that the Cthulhu had sensed multiple times when he was just a fledgling!

Cthulhu stared at this creature as he saw a devilishly handsome and confident smile appear on his face, a smile that actually caused the powerful Cthulhu to feel an unknown sense of pressure!

Chapter 612 - Outsiders! I

The man and Cthulhu observed the stars littering the Letalis Expanse as their awareness spread out to cover the boundaries of this Expanse and thus the mystical Novus Galaxy, continuing to monitor everything as they waited patiently.

At the same time, less than a light year away from the Novus Galaxy, an Imperial Vessel from the Nexus Galaxy was rapidly nearing their positions as it contained within it three Law Masters and three Blessed!

The powerful Grand Controller steering the Void Beasts forward had a careful look as the Imperial Vessel tore through the chaotic void, knowing that they were rapidly nearing the location where their Universal Rift had felt the signal.

The body of this Grand Controller undulated with power as one could feel particles of chaos seamlessly floating around him, a profound feeling being felt from him as those knowledgeable would know that this being was not simply at the stage of a Grand Controller!

He had already begun embarking on the path above that, a path that the Blessed moving with him in this Imperial Vessel had mentioned before- the path of an Assimilator!

Yet even the two Law Masters beside him and the three Blessed did not fully grasp this yet as they went forward, where they were now nearing the location of the signal.

RUMBLE!

The essence of the Grand Controller erupted out as he began slowing the speed of the Void Beasts, their Imperial Vessel that was shooting forth at the speed of light slowing down the extreme blackness of the chaotic void registered around them.

The six beings had looks of care as they each spread out their awareness while moving forward, choosing the route of extreme care as they did not know exactly what they would come across! Their bodies bubbled with power as they apprehensively prepared for anything, the Grand Controller keeping his energy ready to go at any time in case they were intruding upon a powerful Entity's space!

"..."

The Imperial Vessel slowly moved forward as they came just a few miles away from the signal, the eyes of the Grand Controller opening wide as his body began to tremble, joy appearing on his face as he voiced out with great vigor.

"It's...another Galaxy! Haha, we've actually found another galaxy!"

RUMBLE!

"What!"

"This!"

Ecstatic joy was on the faces of the other 5 beings from the Nexus Galaxy as their awareness went forth, noticing the imperceptible spatial boundary that would never be noticed by a passing being unless they were an extremely powerful entity of if they knew of the location in advance.

"Judging by the undulations and power of the boundary...it actually seems to only be a Millenium Galaxy, with a range of maybe 10,000-20,000 years! This..."

The face of the Grand Controller was becoming more and more ecstatic as he thought about what their finding truly meant!

The beings of the Nexus Galaxy were great explorers of the unknown Universe through the use of the Universal Rift, and the powerful force controlling everything in the Nexus Galaxy made it their goal to locate and explore new Galaxies! They had been fairly successful over the years and grown to the height they were currently at, but coming across a Galaxy such as this one which was termed a Millenium Galaxy was extremely rare.

This was because Galaxies were extremely hard to perceive when they had just undergone a cycle of destruction and reformation, where many Galaxies could only be located with ease after they had reached 50,000 years or more.

But at this point, a Galaxy might have powerful Inhabitants that would give even the forces of the Nexus Galaxy a headache to take care of. But when it came to Millenium Galaxies that had not reached the 50,000 years timestamp...this was the type of finding favored the most!

The three Blessed in the mystical chariot felt their hearts pounding as the significance sunk in, one of them hesitantly speaking out.

"We...can report it right away and be swiftly promoted among the ranks of Imperials..."

His voice shook many out of their stupor as they turned to him, the face of the Grand Controller squinting as he looked back. He spoke a second later as a weird atmosphere overtook the Imperial Vessel.

"We can. But...if we enter and explore it for ourselves, can you imagine the possibilities of other rewards that might be waiting for us? The inhabitants of this Millenium Galaxy should have at most achieved Controllers and a few Blessed, maybe a few Grand Controllers at most. It is such a rare finding that we..."

He left the last words unspoken as the faces of the other 2 Law Masters and three Blessed shone with light, thinking back to the resources that the Imperials controlled in the Nexus Galaxy, and imagining these same types of resources simply waiting for them in this Millenium Galaxy in front of them!

"In the case we do explore and find that one of the treasures that the Imperial Adjudicator seeks happens to be in this Galaxy...can you imagine the rewards if we personally present it?"

The voice of the Grand Controller rang out again as it seemed extremely sweet and layered with honey, making the rest of the party looking forward with shining eyes.

Their minds seemed to be made up as they looked at each other and nodded, neither of them choosing to send word back right away that they had reached the target of the signal released, and that it was actually a new galaxy still in its beginning stages that they had not come across before!

The three Blessed holding the Traits of [Ice Man], [Supernova], and [Ability Mimicry] looked at each other with looks of resolve as they nodded towards the three Law Masters led by the Grand Controller.

"Let's do it!"

RUMBLE!

Imperceptible waves of fate spread out as these six beings made their decision, a decision that would put in motion a shocking set of events!

Chapter 613 - Outsiders! II

The Novus Galaxy was in an extremely peaceful era where many of the creatures in the Light and Dark Expanse were forging new lives as they recovered from the terror of constant war with the disappearance of the Celestials.

Not many knew the truth that the leader of this organization had actually exterminated this enormous force himself, and they lived in blissful ignorance as they continued on with their lives! Even at this moment as for the first time in the history of this Novus Galaxy when Outsiders were about to enter, only a few creatures in this Galaxy knew or felt it!

RUMBLE!

In the Letalis Expanse where the boundary of the Novus Galaxy could be seen, an Imperial Vessel could be seen squeezing through the miles long boundary with ease as it was covered by a unique energy.

This energy stemmed from a single being- the one at the forefront who was a Grand Controller of Chaos, and actually had the essence required to freely travel through the Chaotic Void as well as easily pass through the boundaries of galaxies, or even shatter or portion of such boundaries if they wished!

But the Grand Controller was moving with caution this time as they were undertaking a fairly dangerous task of entering another Galaxy. The problem at this moment lay in the unknowns, where even though they knew that this Galaxy should only be a Millenium Galaxy with at most a few Controllers, they still had to move carefully to make sure nothing went wrong.

SAAA!

The mystical chariot that was the Imperial Vessel passed through the boundary as it appeared in the Novus Galaxy for the first time, the three Law Masters and Blessed within the chariot stepping out and floating alongside it as the Void Beasts breathed in the new atmosphere with vigor!

"This..."

The eyes of the Outsiders from the Nexus Galaxy shone with l.u. light as they sensed the surrounding space, their awareness confirming with them the truth of this galaxy as they affirmed it really was less than fifty thousand years old!

They knew this because this was not the only outside Galaxy they were stepping in aside from their Nexus Galaxy. They had been sent on missions before that required them to step into fearsome galaxies of close stature to their own, and a few that were at lower levels.

But during all this time, they always explored Galaxies where their predecessors were there before them! This new Galaxy they stepped in...they saw that they were actually the first as they sensed the peaceful nature and movement of essence!

RUMBLE!

At this point, essence rumbled out from the body of the Grand Controller, the unique essence of chaos permeating out as his voice resounded.

"Continue to be careful and do not celebrate yet. This Galaxy must have its own protectors, and as all Galaxies sense foreign objects and beings entering them, they will be sending their protectors over to us at any moment."

OOOM!

His words carried immense weight as the others nodded and their bodies began permeating with power, the Fire Law Master and the Space Law Master beside the Grand Controller actually lighting up as their bodies released powerful Authorities to surround the Imperial Vessel in a defensive manner!

They had to do this because as mentioned before, a Galaxy could always sense foreign beings that did not belong to it, causing any outside forces entering any galaxy to be sensed right away as if it contained powerful enough Protectors, these Outsiders could be defeated and thrown out with ease!

"I am confident after entering this galaxy that they have a few Controllers or powerful Blessed, and at most, two or three Grand Controllers. We will test whatever is sent our way first before we decide to act."

The eyes of the Grand Controller were shining with greed as they stared at the foreign space around them, all he could feel from it being its young age as his heart looked forward to the treasures of this Galaxy!

RUMBLE!

Before his voice could even settle in the ears of others, they felt a strong aura propel towards them rapidly as the first thing they could see were its extremely large star-sized eyes.

WAA!

This strong aura rushed towards them as they could feel intense emotions of anger from its eyes, its enormous size stopping hundreds of miles away from them as the red eyes locked onto their party atop the Imperial Vessel.

The Cthulhu had made an appearance as the six beings looked at it carefully, their eyes not changing as they simply floated and kept their energy ready to go without moving!

This was because they were waiting...they were waiting to see just how many protectors this Galaxy could afford to send towards them!

RUMBLE!

A second later, another two auras appeared, their sizes just as large as they were in the thousands of miles. The Ancient Terror and the Terror of the Void appeared with cold looks as they also stared at the outsiders from a distance of a few hundred miles away.

It was an extremely tense situation as the Outsiders from the Nexus Galaxy waited a few seconds longer, the frosty Blessed who held the Trait of [Ice Man] not being able to hold himself back as an ecstatic expression actually appeared on his face!

"Haha, this is all? It looks like this venture will be extremely worthwhile!"

Shocking words were heard from the Outsiders by the three Terrors as they were filled with immense disdain. This was because the Outsiders could sense the auras of Grand Controllers on the three Protectors, with this aura being strongest around the Cthulhu that wriggled with baleful tentacles filled with Aether.

Even the face of the Grand Controller of Chaos was filled with light as he waited a few seconds longer before confirming they had really struck it rich to be entering a Galaxy that had so few Protectors!

"Outsiders, you are not welcomed here!"

RUMBLE!

The voice of the Terror of Aether rang out as it was filled with anger and unwillingness, the thing it did not want the most to happen actually taking place at this moment! But the Outsiders he spoke paid him no need as the frosty Blessed laughed while stepping forward, the authorities of the two Law Masters still actively surrounding the force of six Outsiders.

"Boorish creature, has nobody ever told you size is not everything?"

The words of the Blessed were filled with confidence as even while sensing that the creature in front of him was a Grand Controller of the Law of Aether, he stepped forward fearlessly and spoke down towards it!

OOOM!

A unique feeling of power released from this Blessed as he freely activated his Trait, [Ice Man].

SHAA!

For the surrounding thousands of miles, the starry space instantly became a realm of ice as the being that was the cause of it all flung his arms out with a wide smile and spoke.

"A galaxy in its infancy just waiting for us to explore...ahh!"

RUMBLE!

An enormous area of complete white permeated for thousands of miles in the Letalis Expanse near the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, six outsiders appearing as they disdainfully looked down at the natives sent to stand on their way!

Chapter 614 - [Fireball]!

Going back a few seconds, Noah had been talking with a not so pleased Terror of Aether when they felt the abrupt change in the barrier they were observing as well as the appearance of 6 new auras of power.

Three of them felt familiar to Noah, as they each had a hint of law where Noah knew it was two Controllers and a single Grand Controller that also seemed to have a unique aura included with him! The other three were even more unique as the aura Noah felt from them was unlike anything he had come across before!

RUMBLE!

The enormous body of the Cthulhu began to move the moment the auras appeared, leaving behind wrathful words that showed its thoughts at this moment.

"The result of the actions you condone has come, let us hope it is not the doom for us all!"

Noah gave a light smile at the strong words of the Cthulhu, sensing the other two Terrors far away from them also converged towards six newly appearing signatures as he also made his way.

"A galaxy in its infancy just waiting for us to explore...ahh!"

He appeared just in time as the Outsider at the forefront had an ecstatic look on his face while observing Cthulhu and the other two Terrors, Noah's body finally become visible in their eyes as they also looked towards him, his appearance actually making them look even happier as it apparently furthered their belief that this galaxy was nothing much!

Noah's eyes shone as he looked towards the Grand Controller letting out an aura of Chaos, as well as the other two Law Masters released auras of Fire and Space. These beings he could sense the auras of and understand, but the other three gave him a unique feeling of strength that he could attribute one thing- Traits!

He glanced at the being at the forefront who had wavy frosted hair as his body released extremely cold elements that turned the surrounding miles into a frozen space. He observed this unique being using his power, realizing that this being was utilizing a trait while his body only gave off the essence of someone at the Nebula Rank, but no law masteries whatsoever!

Yet this being was able to cause the surrounding thousands of miles to be filled with cold elemental particles that actually reduced the movements of Controllers and even slowed them down.

This was a being with a Trait, this was a Blessed!

Noah's small figure stepped forward amidst all of this as the three Terrors had their essence ready to erupt at any moment, his eyes shimmering with strength as he appeared fully in front of the six Outsiders.

The Outsiders squinted their eyes as they actually could not observe any sense of danger from Noah's small body, their confidence levels only rising as they confirmed these beings in front of them really were the only Protectors that this Galaxy could send out!

"It seems like our journey will be extremely rewarding this time around."

The other two Blessed holding the traits of [Supernova] and [Ability Mimic] spoke to each other with smiles as they were actually protected by the Authorities that two Law Masters released as well as the field of frozen ice that the strongest Blessed laid out, not treating Noah as anything much!

Noah did not mind this as he simply wanted to open up a new chapter and fully start the terrifying plan that the Novus Galaxy had concocted, and he wanted to start off this new stage in the most spectacular way possible.

He did not want to exchange any words or play games with these Outsiders, he only wanted to start off his new path in one way! He wanted to do so in the same way when he first awakened...and it was with a single skill!

After becoming a Controller of the Law of Fire, Noah had carefully read the description that said how any rank of skills could display power at the level of Controller, and he had many ideas when he saw this!

The first thought that came to his mind was his first skill, the skill that actually started his path as an Awakened until he reached the position he did today.

It was a skill with an extremely fast casting time because of it being the lowest ranked skill- it was the Rank F+ Fireball!

His hand stretched out in front of him towards the unbothered Outsiders that had only begun releasing their energy more rampantly, preparing to see what the native of this Galaxy would throw before they fully committed to doing as they wished.

It would be an utter surprise for them when they heard a simple word!

"[Fireball]."

...

BRRRRRRRR!

Like the sound of a gatling gun, tens of balls of fire bloomed out from Noah as events had to be described in a manner as if time was slowed down!

When describing the 'balls of fire' being released from him, it did not really capture what they were fully because their sheer size was simply too enormous! These so called Fireballs were actually tens of miles large, where each one was larger than Noah's current human form by thousands of times!

They were not really fire balls, but genuine scorching suns that were nearing the size of stars! The heat they released as they were utilized by a controller caused undulations in the surrounding space as they threatened to melt anything in sight, and it was these genuine suns that were shooting out in the tens just from Noah casting [Fireball] once.

It was a skill maxed in proficiency as Noah even added to it 5 Skill Points, this simple beginner skill at this moment actually being able to shoot out multiple scorching suns at a speed unbefitting of their sheer size and stature!

"..."

OOOM!

The Blessed with the [Ice Man] trait had his eyes dilate as he discovered hundreds of miles long suns rushing towards them at ridiculous speeds, his body glowing in a powerful blue light as he screamed out while wiping away the unbothered expression.

"Ice Age!"

RUMBLE!

He was not alone as the face of the Fire Law Master hardened, his body also stepping forward as he actually utilized |Intent| using his power as a Controller.

|Protect|!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Sun after sun smashed towards them in a shower of searing heat and molten flames, each explosion causing the frosty Blessed to tremble as the Ice Age he was spreading out was rapidly eaten up!

BOOM!

Yet another sun smashed and exploded as a hazy red barrier formed from the Intent of the Fire Law Master stopped it, their faces finally becoming serious as they stared at this being in front of them.

Waves of heat washed over to them as the hand of the Blessed with the [Ice Man] trait was trembling, the eyes of the Fire Law Master cold as he stared at this being that was apparently just like him!

Even the Grand Controller nodded with a careful expression as it seemed this was in the bounds that he expected this Galaxy to send out, beginning to send messages to the other 5 Outsiders at this moment, but his words would get drowned out soon after!

"They seem to have some skills, but this should be an easy fight. Reinforce each other's streng-"

RUMBLE!

His words were cut short as they consecutively heard the same words for the skill that had just made their expression serious, the words of the Grand Controller veering off as they looked towards the Protectors of this Galaxy with wide eyes.

"[Fireball]. [Fireball]. [Fireball].[Fireball]. [Fireball]. [Fireball]. [Fireball]..."

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Time seemed to be moving extremely slow as near Noah, the Terrors tumbled away!

Space seemed to fold from the searing heat!

A color of red overtook the starry space!

A shocking and majestic sight erupted as tens of suns began to appear in front of Noah.

On the other side, the Grand Controller of Chaos had an incredulous face as his powerful essence finally moved and swept out as he sensed this overpowering appearance of an ability used too many times, an Authority of Chaos emerging out as it held a hint of something else- it was the aura of someone that was a Beginner Assimilator!

But even this Assimilator had a gaze full of shock as he stared at the appearance of hundreds of suns that covered the entirety of their sights from all around them, each of these suns carrying with them a power of a peak Fire Controller as they thundered towards them at speeds not matching their miles long sizes!

It was shocking!

It was ridiculous!

It was the spamming of a low rank skill that had an extremely fast casting speed while carrying the immense prowess of a Controller!

It was the rank F [Fireball], and it opened up yet another stage in Noah's life!

Chapter 615 - Assimilator!

Have you ever come across tens of exploding suns?

Deep in the center of these explosions as well, each of the scorching heat of these suns actually being directed at you as they seemed to endlessly rush forward? It was a terrifying sight to say the least!

BOOOM!

The Grand Controller of Chaos was taking the central position of defending as he was backed on his right by the Fire Law Master and on his left by the Blessed with the [Ice Man] Trait.

Their gazes were finally serious as the essence of the Grand Controller of Chaos expertly moved to create a thick black barrier, this barrier being covered by freezing ice in front and a layer of a flaming barrier in the back as the three beings worked together to withstand a barrage of exploding suns!

BOOM! BOOM!

The suns seemed nearly endless as the face of the Grand Controller became extremely serious, his voice ringing out to the others as they made their moves.

"Sajar, Johnny Boy, you're with me in taking on this small being. He should be the strongest protector in this Galaxy, yet seems to not understand the concept of preserving one's mana with such reckless attacks."

His words were careful as they were directed to the Fire Law Masters in his party and the Blessed holding the [Ice Man] Trait. All the meanwhile, he slowly analyzed the situation before them while the barriers they erected were able to stop the barrage of suns that continued to explode with searing heat in front of them!

"You three, take on the oversized creatures behind him, and don't hesitate to use your life-saving Talismans in case something unexpected happens, I will rush in to resolve anything else."

He then spoke towards the two other Blessed beings and Space Law Master as the one holding the Trait of [Ability Mimic] nodded with vigor.

The words of the Grand Controller were filled with strength as he breathed in after finishing his commands, the other 5 Outsiders nodding in understanding as they saw the unique power bubbling on his body!

This was a power that they did not expect this Grand Controller to have, a power that showed he had actually already embarked on the path of an Assimilator!

This made their resolve even stronger as in the next moment, two words filled with intent left the mouth of the Grand Controller of Chaos.

|Chaotic Dispersal|

RUMBLE!

A star shaking might erupted out with these words, the intent of a Beginner Assimilator rushing towards the endless suns as it carried with it a unique authority, this essence wiping away all the coming suns as if they didn't exist in the first place!

This intent continued forward until it found the source of the enormous balls of fire, only being stopped as it clashed with another intent that Noah released!

BZZZT!

An impasse came to be as the two sides were able to see each other once more, the Outsiders seeing the figure of Noah calmly observing them as a distinct smile was visible on his face, apparently very pleased at the way his opening attack had gone.

The Grand Controller of Chaos locked onto Noah's figure as the party he was with followed his words!

The Space Law Master became a white streak of light as he shot towards the Terror of the Void, the one holding the Trait of [Supernova] going to match Cthulhu, and the one with the [Ability Mimic] Trait actually locking eyes with Noah first as her body shone with an Incandescent light before she went over to match the Ancient Terror.

Others might not have known, but the incandescent light on the Outsider's body when she locked eyes with Noah was her actually using her trait as she became able to mimic the terrifying skill he had used, the Outsider wanting them to have a taste of their own medicine when she went to match the Ancient Terror!

This left the Grand Controller of Chaos, the Blessed holding the [Ice Man] trait called Johnny Boy, and the Fire Law Controller to face Noah himself, these beings moving carefully as they did not want any mistakes after finding such an opportune galaxy.

"You don't seem to have even embarked on the path past a Controller yet, Native. Why don't we have a talk where I might even show you the way?"

The voice of the Grand Controller who could also be called a Beginner Assimilator rang out towards Noah, the unique essence he used to completely wipe away tens of scorching suns being extremely potent as his right hand pointed forward!

The other two Outsiders backed away from him as one moved with their Authority and the other released terrifying coldness, this Beginner Assimilator continuing to talk as his aura only shot up higher.

"You see, after completely comprehending a Universal Law and becoming a Controller, one must then Assimilate their law comprehension where the ultimate goal..."

OOOOM!

His hand released a milky black aura as Noah could see it was an extremely potent essence of Chaos, and it seemed to be moving in conjunction with the Beginner Assimilator's intentions as it wrapped around his body before he completely disappeared in a flash of chaotic light!

"...is becoming one with the very Universal laws themselves."

The Beginner Assimilator actually appeared instantly behind Noah, his fist covered with this extremely potent chaotic essence as it smashed into Noah before he could even react!

BOOM!

The light of chaos overflowed as a blow was dealt by the Outsiders for the first time, even the eyes of the Terrors looking towards Noah's figure that had been shot forward like a cannonball towards the other two Outsiders.

WAA!

Halfway through before Noah even reached the Law Master of Fire and Johnny Boy that were already preparing their attacks, his body came to a stop as a tinge of golden light began to cover him, his face shining in the dark space as one could actually see an expression of joy on his face!

This was because he had affirmed the path forward that he knew of after becoming a Controller, and he had felt the strength of this stage as the strike that had smashed into him from this Grand Controller that had begun Assimilating his comprehensions was enough to injure him!

But that was all- just enough to injure him as the two Outsiders behind him could observe his back that was a gory mess of blood rapidly healing as good as new, the distinct gold light that represented fate beginning to fully release from him.

His eyes were full of joy as he stared at the Beginner Assimilator as if he had found a rare treasure, his mind already seeing the path of laws laid out in front of him.

First, you comprehend the laws, and then you become one with them!

Assimilate them!

This was the stage above a Controller, this was the stage where beings sought to become intertwined with the Universal Laws as they freely used them to do their bidding!

Chapter 616 - Three Versus One!

As Noah faced a Beginner Assimilator with palpating levels of chaos surrounding his body as well as a Blessed and a Fire Law Master, the Terrors were facing their own enemies as the three Outsiders went to match them!

The Blessed holding the Trait of [Supernova] fearlessly went towards the terrifying Cthulhu that wriggled with Aether as her hands were covered by a red glow. The Cthulhu saw this figure with his star sized eyes as he cast a skill instantly, calling forth numerous stars to materialize and rush towards this Outsider as he utilized [Star Caller].

BOOOM!

The Blessed saw the newly appearing stars as she met the forefront one with her fist, a fearsome explosion occurring as the star was shattered into pieces, her body weaving through the rubble as her fist smashed into all the other coming stars while she advanced towards the Cthulhu!

This was the being holding the trait of [Supernova], a being that released the power of a dying star with every strike she landed! Her body shone with the l.u. of the essence of someone at the Nebula Realm as tens of stars swirled within her Origin.

The Cthulhu's red eyes focused on this being as he cast yet another ability and caused baleful Aether to envelope the surroundings, the battle fully underway in this location as in another two spots, the other Two Terrors were facing their own enemies!

The Space Law Master was weaving through the layers of space as he began releasing attacks on the Terror of the Void, this powerful terror also being proficient in this space as a fearsome battle began.

The other battle worthy of note was the one where the Blessed holding the [Ability Mimic] trait was facing the silent Ancient Terror, a smile apparent on her face as prior to this, she had used her ability to mimic the terrifying skill that the small human that was being surrounded by three Outsiders cast, and she wanted to use this same skill as she showed them a taste of their own medicine!

The Blessed threw out her hands as she cast the fearsome skill- [Fireball]!

Rumble~

"..."

Small fluctuations of power were released as a few fireballs a few inches in diameter flew towards the Ancient Terror, their power diminishing before they could even reach the Terror as they disappeared simply because of the sheer pressure this being released.

The Blessed that knew for sure she had mimicked the ability of that being correctly looked forward incredulously at this scene!

The lesson of abilities being utilized very differently depending on the user was learned on this day as the same skill that allowed scorching suns to erupt out from the hands of one being were only small balls of fire in the hands of another!

The Ancient Terror ignored this embarrassing moment as from it, a Blood World bloomed that completely encased it and the Blessed with it, nobody else being able to know what was happening within this Blood World.

OOOM!

With these three battles occurring in their own spaces, we can now look back to the stage where a Beginner Assimilator, a Fire Law Controller, and an icy Blessed were in a triangular formation as they blocked off all sides and rushed towards Noah.

The most danger could be felt from the body of the Assimilator, as the essence of chaos could actually rip apart the defenses of a Grand Controller that Noah always had surrounding his body, the abilities of the Fire Law Master and the Blessed called Johnny Boy being much lesser worries!

As their three figures rushed towards him, Noah gave a light smile as he also cast [Blood World], an enormous veil of blood erupting with him at the very center as it threatened to cover the three Outsiders in the surrounding space.

Their bodies shone with their own unique power as they protected themselves from what they assumed was an area of attack ability, but this Blood World did not harm them one bit as it simply passed through them and continued expanding, covering the area of tens of miles around them as only the three of them and Noah were within this Blood World!

They found at this moment that they could not sense the outside world, nor could they communicate with others as well- this ability fully creating an isolated space where nothing could go in or out! The gaze of the Beginner Assimilator was passive as he nodded towards the other two Outsiders, the battle fully beginning as dazzling skills flew out.

From the hands of Johnny Boy, pulsing Frost Orbs that held enough power to threaten any Controller were released as he utilized the [Ice Man] Trait, the area he occupied becoming fully covered in white as he threw out long distance attacks!

The two Law Masters continued to rush towards Noah as they wanted close combat to pin their enemy down, especially the Assimilator that could easily injure Noah's body with the essence of chaos fluidly moving through him.

It seemed like it was bound to be a long and difficult battle as these powerful Outsiders faced the native Protectors of the Novus Galaxy, but would it really be like this? The answer was no! And it was a shocking no as a smile bloomed from Noah in the next moment, the aura of two more beings that looked just like him appearing in the veiled Blood World!

RUMBLE!

"What!"

"|Defend|"

"Ice Fortress!"

The three outsiders reacted in their own ways as one of Noah's clones appeared above Johnny Boy as cast [Madness Hegemony], the surrounding space changing to that of baleful Aether as terrifying Portals of Terror began to bloom around the Blessed holding the [Ice Man] Trait.

Another clone appeared in front of the Fire Law Master as he did not cast any flashy abilities, but actually something simple from the abilities of the Absolute Sin. From the Sin of Gluttony, Noah tested out the usefulness of [Devouring] as a black circle went on to wrap around this Controller!

The ability of Devouring allowed him to devour his enemies and even their memories, with the mana requirement varying from who exactly he was trying to devour. If a being he was targeting did not have the prowess to break through the black circle that represented [Devouring], then with his Infinite Mana...Noah should be able to devour that being in their entirety as their defenses were slowly ground down!

This ability would only work on someone on the same level as him or weaker as they would not be able to escape the black circle that represented [Devouring], so Noah simply tried it as one of the Outsiders became completely encased in the light of Gluttony.

"Sajar!"

The Grand Controller saw this insidious skill where his companion did not seem to be breaking out of as his body tried to change directions, but Noah's main body stood in his way at this time as a few words left his mouth.

"[Incandescent Emperor]."

RUMBLE!

A new skill was cast from Noah for the first time as a brilliant golden glow erupted from him and blinded the Assimilator for a brief moment, an ability from the newest skill tree that had just stepped into the Nebula Rank through the hard work of his clones just minutes ago being utilized as Noah single-handedly took on three beings at the Nebula Realm- one an Assimilator, one a Controller, and the other a Blessed being!

Chapter 617 - I Cant Take Any Damage!

Right before his two clones had appeared and blindsided the Outsiders, they had finished maxing the proficiency of the [Fate's Guardian] skill tree as Noah also met all the other requirements to upgrade it to the rank of Nebula!

Unlike the Nebula Rank Terror of Aether Skill Tree, only 5 new skills were laid out in front of his eyes.

...NEBULA [Incandescent Ruler- Fate's Guardian] :: [Incandescent Emperor](5/5), [Holy Fire](5/5), [Fate's Guardian](5/5), [Aura of Redemption](5/5), [Sword of Judgment](5/5)

[Incandescent Emperor](5/5) :: The stature of the Incandescent Ruler is adorned as the user adopt a regal armament. While active, Incandescent Emperor grants +1000% to Damage, Attack Speed, Cast Speed, Law Resistances, Defence, as well as +50% Decreased Damage Taken from all sources.

[Holy Fire](5/5) Golden raging fires of Fate thunder down towards the user's enemies as they scorch everything with righteous terror, with the greatest burning damage dealt to their enemies' souls.

[Fate's Guardian](5/5) :: The fate lines representing other creatures the user is connected to can be observed as their futures can be guided to the most optimum path.

[Aura of Redemption](5/5) :: A circular aura that surrounds the user and grants them constant health regeneration where any damage dealt can be healed instantly for as long as the ability is kept active.

[Sword of Judgment](5/5) :: A unique sword capable of tearing apart space itself is called upon to be wielded only by the user. The Sword of Judgment deals 0 Physical Damage in exchange for dealing a tremendous amount of Soul Damage.

Skills with grand names befitting the rank of the skill tree appeared, and each of them fought the others for supremacy! Noah particularly liked Incandescent Emperor and Sword of Judgment, Holy Fire coming in close third as they all pertained to him being able to deal crazy amounts of damage to his enemies.

This was why he had cast [Incandescent Emperor] as he faced the Beginner Assimilator in front of him, a golden light erupting out as his human form gained the mantle of a regal Emperor!

Royal robes shimmering with golden lights dr.a. over him, and one could see a distinct golden crown fall upon his head as it sat and shone with complete arrogance while releasing a light of domination. His devilishly handsome face was even further extenuated as his human form looked like the shiniest golden crowned being one could ever come across.

But this form that hugged his body shape granted him +1000% in Damage, Attack Speed, Cast Speed, Law Resistances, Defense, and even a +50% Decreased Damage Taken from all his enemies!

The Beginner Assimilator in front of him noticed how Noah's aura had become greatly sharper, a dangerous edge that even he was threatened by coming to light. The eyes of the Assimilator turned serious as the liquid chaos essence around him began bubbling, beginning to wrap around his body as a black armor formed around him.

He glanced towards the frosty Blessed, Johnny Boy, who was currently releasing extremely cold waves of essence to keep at bay dreadful Portals of Terror, as well as the Fire Law Master that actually had not been able to escape from the terrifying black light of [Devouring] yet! The Assimilator glanced at all this as he prepared to go toe to toe with this unexpected enemy while saving his comrades! But would he really get the chance?

In the Blood World that nobody could see inside of, one of Noah's clones was floating above Johnny Boy who released dreadfully cold ice essence, this Outsider shouting out powerful words soon after.

"Pure Ice Form!"

RUMBLE!

Blasts of cold erupted out as Noah was able to see this being change fully into a white-blue creature, even his light skin tone disappearing as he became a man of ice!

The cold eyes of this Outsider locked onto Noah as he waved his hands and released the barrier of cold light that was stopping the destructive elements of the Portals of Terror, the attacks actually going towards Johnny Boy as they reached him and...nothing happened!

"Ignorant Native, I have taken a pure form of ice that even a Water Law Controller cannot obtain. It is something only possible from my Trait, and you cannot deal any physical damage to me!"

The Blessed shockingly revealed his ability and what it could do with ease, Noah looking towards him quizzically as he took in the said words and nodded, opening his hand out as he called out a skill.

[Sword of Judgment].

SHIIING!

A ray of golden light fell down as a gorgeous looking serrated golden blade of light appeared in the clone's hands.

One of the skills from the newly advanced Nebula skill tree was cast as Noah listened to the words that this pure ice form this being had taken prevented all physical damage, so he chose a skill that dealt 0 physical damage and an enormous amount of Soul Damage, grasping the golden blade of light as he slashed down towards the icy Blessed!

SAAA!

The golden blade left waves of light behind it as it swung, and the target, Johnny Boy, did not even move as he stared arrogantly at the coming blade. He was extremely confident in his Trait, as he had been able to stand to powerful Controllers in the past the moment he took on his Pure Ice Form.

He wanted to show the native in front of him that his body could not even be hurt as he would lay out terrifying attacks thereafter!

But this was where he would be terribly mistaken.

"Dodge you fool!"

The words of the powerfully shining Assimilator rang out as his figure streaked towards Noah's golden armored body, his eyes locking on to the non-descript golden blade carried by Noah's clone as this Outsider was more in tune with laws and could sense the terrifying damage that could be dealt by the sword!

These words shook Johnny Boy out of his stupor as he immediately sensed something wrong, his hand waving as he wanted to pull out his life-saving Talisman right away just in case.

But it was too late!

WOOSH!

Like a mere streak of light, the Sword of Judgment passed through his body from top to bottom seamlessly.

"..."

CRACK!

A terrifying sound occurred thereafter instantly, the blue light shining brilliantly in the eyes of this frosty Blessed died out, his Origin having undertaken enormous Soul Damage with zero protections as even his Rank at the Nebula did not save him!

"Johnny Boy!"

The Assimilator looked forward with brazen shock at this unexpected scene as he could not even believe his eyes!

At this time waves of fate spread out from the spot of the Blessed's death as Noah's clone saw the statue of the ice man in front of him beginning to crack, a unique energy from the surroundings actually gathering on the body of the Blessed he had so easily taken down as a shocking sight played out.

This unique energy wrapping around the dead Blessed was actually from the Novus Galaxy itself, this energy going on to preserve the dead Origin of this Outsider for the future grand plan of this Galaxy!

Noah's clone observed as the body of the Outsider actually folded in on itself, being crumpled together as it came to form a singular black mass that remained stationary in the hidden Blood World.

At this time, Noah felt a change in his Stat Panel as he opened in to observe his Skill Points shooting up by a few hundred, his eyes shining with light as he was finally able to defeat a separate existence to grant him an enormous number of skill points! This being at the Nebula Rank and holding a Trait had gifted him with hundreds of Skill Points just a few minutes into this battle!

The gaze of the clone that just took down this powerful but stupid Blessed now turned towards the shocked Assimilator as he went to assist his main body, terrifying words leaving his mouth as he did so.

"That's one."

...!

The words were calm and nonexpressive, making one think what was just done was as easy as anything could be!

Chapter 618 - My Specialty is Actually Spamming

Shockingly, a Blessed had fallen in a matter of minutes since the battle began!

Only the Assimilator observed this horrendous situation as his body began to burn with an extremely black color, the aura of chaos permeating through as powerful black chaos shadows began to rise around the Assimilator.

These chaos shadows shone with a dark l.u. as each of them held the power of a Controller, the gaze of the Assimilator cold as he went all out!

Meanwhile, in the area where Noah's clone had trapped the Fire Law Master, the black circle that represented the ability of [Devouring] opened, the sight inside making the eyes of the Assimilator even colder!

Inside the opening aura of Gluttony, the husk of a being could be seen as all essence and life force was drained out, the eyes of this Nebula Rank Fire Controller losing their light a second later as Noah had actually defeated this being with a single skill that just drained him out entirely.

A unique essence from the surrounding space went on to wrap around the husk of a being as it folded in itself, forming a second black mass that represented the Origin of this being from another Galaxy!

Noah also watched his stat panel that showed the number of skill points rising rapidly, both of his clones having finished their opponents the moment they appeared as at this moment, his three bodies went towards surrounding the singular remaining enemy in the hidden Blood World.

The Grand Controller of Chaos was looking towards the spots where his companions had died, only an eerie black mass remaining in these positions as it created for a terrifying atmosphere!

He had thought they found a young galaxy with weak Protectors and chose to enter and take most of the riches for themselves, choosing to not even send word back to the Watchers assigned to him for this mission. Now, an unexplainable enemy had appeared as he lost a Blessed and a Controller.

He breathed out as his body thrummed with power, reminding himself that he had already embarked on the path of strength after a Controller, and this being in front of him showed no indication of it. All he could see was that somehow, he was proficient in multiple laws, where he might even be a Controller in each of them as well!

"It was a mistake to enter and antagonize you like this. Do you think we can let bygones be bygones?"

More and more chaotic dark shadows that held the auras of Controllers appeared around the Assimilator as he said these careful words, going for possible diplomacy before he went all out against this mysterious enemy.

Noah only smiled at these words as his three bodies surrounded all sides of the Outsider, replying thereafter with a calm tone.

"Outsider, similar to how you have the unique power of an Assimilator or how your friends have their Traits, I have my own unique power you know."

His words seemed to be resonating with the surrounding space as the Assimilator continued to prepare, the numerous chaotic shadows floating protectively around him as an unbound aura of chaos threatened to spill out at any moment with the command of this Assimilator!

|Protect|, |Defend|, |Strengthen|, |Fluid Teamwork|, |Enhanced Chaos|

RUMBLE!

Numerous |Intents| were used by the Outsider as the summoned chaotic shadows around him became more and more solid, the aura of Chaos palpable as these shadowy figures screeched towards Noah's three bodies!

"My power lies in mana, where my specialty is actually just spamming."

Noah's eyes honed in on the powerful chaotic figures that numbered over ten, each of them glowing with the aura of a Peak Controller as in the middle of them, an Assimilator was tightly protected!

The Outsider was taking all precautions after seeing the deaths of his two companions, where he now used an ability that summoned more than 10 figures with the power of Controllers as he planned to carry out a long and prolonged battle with Noah.

...or so he expected.

But Noah planned to do something entirely different, where he wanted to fully use his Trait of Infinite Mana as it deserved to be used...with constant and repetitive spamming of powerful skills that required enormous amounts of mana to be used!

RUMBLE!

The surrounding space had begun to tremble as it felt a premonition of what was to come, the face of the Assimilator turning colder as he bellowed out while commanding his summoned creatures to rush forward!

[Madness Hegemony].

Noah's main body called forth a skill that changed the surrounding space and caused it to be filled with numerous Portals of Terrors, streaks of Aether Rays appearing as they began to shoot towards the many chaotic figures and the Assimilator.

[Holy Fire].

WAAA!

One of his clones called out as from the space above, illuminant golden flames that burned the surrounding space itself began to appear as they rained down with a merciful light that threatened to burn everything it touched!

[Fireball].

BRRRRRRR!

His other clone called out the name of the Rank F+ skill as Noah condensed the balls of star sized suns into just a few meters, increasing their explosive force as they thundered forth towards the protected Assimilator like rapid bullets.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The rays of Aether, Portals of Terror, scorching golden flames, and terribly explosive fireballs all smashed into the protected Assimilator as the chaotic figures he summoned took the brunt of the damage, but he survived with no problems as he prepared to retaliate at this moment, expecting his opponent to have used up a lot of his energy as he used this gap to finally deal some damage! But as he prepared to move out, he heard the same words repeat again!

[Madness Hegemony]. [Holy Fire]. [Fireball]. [Madness Hegemony] [Holy Fire]. [Fireball]...

Reinforced by the powerful skill of [Incandescent Emperor] which granted +1000% to many things, but the two qualities of Attack Speed and Cast Speed that were also reinforced by 1000% made a terrifying scene where all of these cast skills were being cast and rushing forth at a nightmarish speed that would cause one to tremble in fear.

RUUUMBLE!

Space itself shook from the ridiculous amount of mana being used as layers after layers of Portals of Terror, Aether Rays, golden flames, and destructive small suns all began to appear en masse around a singular Assimilator!

[Madness Hegemony]. [Holy Fire]. [Fireball]. [Madness Hegemony] [Holy Fire]. [Fireball]...

This Assimilator's eyes opened wildly in shock as he couldn't help but ask in his mind-

'How do you have the mana for all this?!'

But his question would never be answered as the barrage of colorful and destructive abilities rained down thunderously.

At this point, Noah was not even doing any work, but he was simply calling out skill names as he spammed over and over again!

It was against an enemy that had embarked on a path even higher than a Controller, but with barely a small rank above him, would that be enough to withstand against endless abilities swarming on all sides?

The answer was a dreadful no as a particular Outsider had already begun sweating as his summoned chaos soldiers began to be wiped away by the horrendous damage as all these endless attacks targeted him!

BRRRRR!

On this day, Noah learned the joys of repetitively using powerful skills with no consequences as a true spammer was born!

Chapter 619 - Let's wrap it up

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A constant flood of destructive skills rained down endlessly towards a singular Assimilator, the many chaos guards he summoned being wiped away in a matter of seconds as the flood of skills continued.

Terrifyingly scorching fireballs with the potency of suns, destructive Portals of Terror and Aether Rays, scorching Holy Fire that even scorched the surrounding space!

All of these horrendous abilities rained down endlessly as Noah spammed his many skills with ease and without stopping!

He had Infinite Mana, so there was nothing stopping him from being able to overwhelm someone much stronger than he was through these methods.

So what if this Outsider was an Assimilator? What if he had begun assimilating the Supreme Law of Chaos to himself as his usage of this law was even greater than his fully comprehended Law of Fate? None of it mattered when he went ahead and did something that defied all reason!

"OOOOOH!"

The Assimilator roared out as he continued defending against the barrage of attacks, pulling his aura back entirely as one could see a circular liquid barrier of chaotic light protectively hugging his body. This barrier took the brunt of the damage from the destructive skills as he tried to move across the chaotic space!

His Chaos Lord Authority was closely wrapping around him as his body thrummed with power.

His figure tried shifting left and right constantly, but each area he appeared in either had scorching fireballs or he was chased by destructive rays of Aether that would bloom Portals of Terror whenever they smashed into his barrier!

It was a terrifying situation where any place he went to, shockingly dreadful abilities awaited on both sides as he could not escape.

"Native!"

RUMBLE!

His voice rang out with an enchanting chaotic light as within his hands, a dark halberd made of the essence of chaos appeared as he slashed away the incoming attacks, his brow visibly sweating while he tried to reach out to Noah.

"It was our mistake, I have no problem admitting this! Let us talk!"

BRRRRR!

Among the barrage of fireballs with the damage of actual suns, the Outsider tried to bring this battle to a stop as Noah's three bodies acted as if they had not heard anything, skills continuing to be called out as they thundered down!

"I am just an Assimilator in charge of an exploration party from the Nexus Galaxy, there are many like me!"

BRRRR!

"My life is not worth much, but I can connect you to the force of Imperials that rule the Nexus Galaxy and many more Galaxies, I can work with you!"

The Assimilator continued to plead out as he unbelievably saw the attacks continuing to rain down, shock running through his mind as he wondered whether this being in front of him had endless energy.

One could not simply spam skills like this, they had to run out sooner or later!

But seeing how his words did not seem to have any effect, the Assimilator gritted his teeth while deflecting the numerous terrible skills, moving from pleading to threats.

"If my party is wiped away without us sending word to the Watchers assigned to us, they will see this as an anomaly as a powerful force will be sent to this location!"

RUMBLE!

Shocking threats were released as the Assimilator continued.

"We are a disposable party, that's why we were sent first to check out an unknown signal! But the next force will not be the same, it will have multiple Imperial Assimilators and even Beta Ranked Blessed that are nothing like the Alpha Blessed you defeated!"

Information freely flowed from the Outsider that was cornered at this moment, even his rank as a Beginner Assimilator actually not being able to help him as he faced a being that constantly spammed powerful skills capable of injuring Controllers over and over again.

The Outsider talked of Alpha and Beta Ranked Blessed, introducing some of the distinctions between the different ranks of Traits that individuals could be lucky enough to obtain throughout their lifetimes!

But...Noah had already begun to obtain this knowledge from the Fire Law Master that he had cast [Devouring] on, his mind working overtime as he senselessly continued to spam his skills while learning more about the Galaxy these beings came from.

"I...I can even send back a message that we just came across a powerful entity and lost a few of us, it doesn't have to end like this!"

The words of the Assimilator were getting more desperate as he shockingly found even with his rank a level higher, his chaos barrier was beginning to crack as the essence he could supply to it was actually running dry.

This being in front of him...was actually driving him to exhaustion!

But all of his words were ignored as he despairing heard an impassive voice ring out amidst the exploding suns and bursting portals of terror.

"Let's wrap this up, why don't we?"

RUMBLE!

The dreadful skills seemed to actually be rushing down even faster as both of Noah's clones were now dr.a. in the armaments of the [Incandescent Emperor] ability, the +1000% cast and attack speed causing the flood of abilities to get even wilder as the defenses of the Assimilator began to crack!

|Faster Casting|, |Extreme Speed|, |Duplication|.

But this wasn't all as Noah dreadfully added the Intents of his essence as a Controller, the speeds of the barrage of skills simply becoming insane as they even doubled with the last Intent!

"No!"

The Assimilator was unwilling as he did not expect to lose his life in a Millenium Galaxy, in such a young galaxy that should not have had such a terrifying figure!

As he glanced at this enemy that seemed to have endless energy to cast his skills over and over again, he realized that his strength did not lie in the essence of fate or fire that made him a genius Controller of two laws, but it was shockingly the trait that somehow allowed him to endlessly cast these horrible abilities so many times.

As this Outsider was faced with a spamming of abilities he wondered- just what Trait did this creature have to give him power like this?!

Just what was the rank of such a Trait that he could handle him and two others with ease?!

CRACK!

The answer would not be known by this being nor Noah for quite some time as the Chaos Barrier this Assimilator cast finally cracked, the flood of skills rushing towards his strong body as they began to ravage him apart.

"They will come to this signal again...!"

"They will come!"

RUMBLE!

His words were drowned out by the barrage of fire and aether as a being that had already embarked on the path past a Controller faced his end.

The cause of his death? Someone was spamming too much!

Chapter 620 - Origins from another Galaxy!

In the hidden Blood World where no eyes could pry in, Noah had actually defeated three Outsiders! One was an Assimilator, another a Fire law Controller, and lastly the Blessed who was called Johnny Boy.

His three bodies stopped the constant spamming of skills as they each held the ability of the [Incandescent Emperor] still active. This allowed for a regal aura to show on all his three bodies as they were adorned with a golden crown and royal golden robes that shone with majesty!

But his expression was impassive, where one could only observe a light smile as Noah simply watched the condensing of the black circular masses that represented the origins of these dead outsiders. These origins were the things that his Nexus Galaxy needed in order to carry out a terrifying plan.

The circular black masses remained stagnant as they floated in space held up by the unique essence of the Novus Galaxy itself. Noah did not even touch these Origins as he had already obtained the skill points he wanted from taking down separate existences, but no other loot like skill books or cores were given to him this time around!

All of these things were retained within the origins that were floating in space as they made up the core of the Origins of these Outsiders.

But one of the bigger rewards that he had obtained from these three outsiders was actually the memories of the one that he had devoured. These memories told him about a grand Galaxy! A Galaxy filled with trillions of beings, a galaxy that had its reaches spreading out across this unexplored Universe!

His heart beat slightly faster as he absorbed all of this new information and contemplated the future, and he then placed all of it aside for now as there were still three other Outsiders that the terrors were facing outside of the Blood World he had erected.

The Terror of Aether was facing the Blessed with the [Supernova] trait as this being utilized his essence at the nebula rank along with his trait to release explosive strikes that each held an extreme power of a supernova!

But just this was not enough to withstand The Terror of Aether who released an ability much similar to Madness Hegemony as the rounding space became filled with the baleful power of Aether as the Portals of Terror and chaotic rays of ether freely floated around. The state of this Blessed was pitiful as they were barely keeping up their defenses amidst the attacks of the Cthulhu.

The Blessed with the [Ability Mimicry] was in an even worse state as she had mimicked the ability known as [Fireball], hoping to use this fearsome skill to punish the natives of this galaxy. Yet to her dismay, all that this ability released from her hands was a few flimsy fireballs and not the humongous suns that Noah had released prior!

Her Trait was currently still on a cooldown after the first few minutes of using it, and so this meant they did not have as many viable and powerful abilities to use while facing the Ancient Terror! This meant that this Blessed was also on dire straits in this battle as nobody else could even observe her situation as she was wrapped in the Blood World of the Ancient Terror.

The only Outsider who seemed to still be standing head-on as the Space Law Master who was facing the Terror of the Void. His body was constantly shifting and moving across the space as his eyes looked to the battle of his other companion that was on the losing side. He was not even able to observe the states of battle for his other four companions as they were contained in isolated worlds!

His gaze looked hurried as he waited for the Assimilator that should have been contained in Noah's Blood World to come out, and this was because he expected the powerful Grand Controller to have easily been able to defeat the singular native that he faced with Johnny Boy and the Fire Law Master.

Yet to his shock as a few minutes passed by, not a single being came out of the expansive Blood World as his worries only piled up!

RUMBLE!

This was only so until this moment, when this isolated world dissolved and they shockingly saw the scene within as a single being came out of it alive.

The appearance of Noah's three bodies with the same exact regal armament of an Incandescent Emperor gave terror to the two outsiders that could see him as they were actually not able to observe the beginner Assimilator who should have been powerful enough to defeat this being with the support of their other two companions!

As they could already barely hang on to their own battles, this change made them despair!

The Terror of Aether used this chance when the Blessed with the [Supernova] Trait was distracted as he released and compiled multiple portals of terror, his tentacles flooding out and beginning to constrict the space around this Outsider, her fate actually being decided at this instant.

The other Blessed that was facing the Ancient Terror in her own Blood World also could not hang on at this time, not even knowing what was happening to her companions as her defeat also happened in the next few seconds! This only left the Space Law Master who had grown increasingly panicked as he shook his head in stupefaction and fear, his figure starting to turn into a streak of light as he tried to run towards the boundary of the Novus Galaxy!

The Terror of the Void released its own terrifying skills to stop this, but it did not even need to as Noah himself flashed above the space where this Outsider was running towards as he cast yet a simple spell.

[Fireball].

BRRRRRRR!

Scorching suns bloomed in front of Noah from the simple cast of a low-ranking skill as they shot forth like a barrage of bullets, these tens of miles-long suns going on to smash into the body of the worn-out controller as they were able to utterly obliterate his defenses!

OOOM!

The scene that had occurred multiple times before happened again, where yet another origin began to condense in the space of the Novus Galaxy as simultaneously, three more black masses formed.

These black masses of Origins represented the six Outsiders that had come to observe the signal received by the Universal Rift of the Nexus Galaxy, and these six Outsiders had all so easily and ridiculously been taken down in less than half an hour!

All that remained of these Outsiders were small circular black masses that represented the Origins of existences of another galaxy, as well as the Imperial Chariot being pulled along by two Void Beasts that remained stationary far in the distance.

[Now...we can begin.]

RUMBLE!

The nonchalant voice of the Novus Galaxy rang out at this moment as the unique energy that wrapped around the six origins shone with a bright black and white light at this instance, the plan that this terrifying entity had crafted starting to be carried out at this moment!

Chapter 621 - What is making all of this possible?

The Terrors watched on in silence as they saw the Outsiders called into the Novus Galaxy so easily defeated, their eyes locking towards Noah as he was the one to actually stand against half of them and come out unscathed in even less time than it took for them to defeat their enemies!

But Noah was not paying attention to these gazes, his eyes being focused on the Origins of the Outsiders that came from a place called the Nexus Galaxy.

These Origins had begun to shine with light as they moved close to each other, Noah watching closely as the essence of the Novus Galaxy itself wrapped around them and caused them to spin in a circular motion around each other!

What was happening now might not have any meaning to anybody else watching, but it held a great meaning to Noah as he recalled the plan of the Novus Galaxy to raise a dominating champion that would utterly obliterate any enemies they came across.

The first step was the completion of the Infinite Mana Trait, with the next step being to directly begin the culmination of another Trait that would also take time to come to fruition.

In order to do this, the essence of another Galaxy was required! This was because a Galaxy was the only thing capable of granting Traits, and it could only grant these traits once to the inhabitants residing within it.

A single being could only ever receive one Trait, which meant that if Noah wanted another Trait, he had to be considered a native of another Galaxy!

He could not just barge into another Galaxy like the 6 defeated Outsiders had done, as that would only cause that Galaxy to notice their existence that was different from the natives as the Protectors of that Galaxy would all swarm towards this Outsider to eliminate them.

So the only solution meant that a being had to be considered a native, and this was the plan that the Novus Galaxy devised and needed the Origins of beings of another galaxy for!

As Noah watched the 6 spinning orbs that represented the Origins of the beings from the Nexus Galaxy, the cold voice rang out again.

[The first step in culminating another powerful Trait is for me to carry out a procedure that will send half of your Origin into another Galaxy, your Origin being covered by the potent aura of the natives of that galaxy as it completely evades the senses of the Galaxy Core, that entity treating you as if you were their own.]

Yes!

The plan was to use the Origins of the natives to mask his own, and somehow succeed in transferring himself into the Galaxy as he was recognized as a native!

[If successful, your transferred Origin will be able to find a vessel in that Galaxy that resonates with your soul as we force a fusion with their Origin and yours, with the most likely scenario being you finding a vessel that is near death.]

The shocking words of the Novus Galaxy continued as they showed a clearly laid out plan to send half of Noah's Origin into another Galaxy, this process being able to happen undetected as his Origin found a vessel of a being to occupy, thereby being considered a native as he embarked on a journey to culminate his second trait in that Galaxy!

But...such a thing was far-fetched and should not be possible!

Being capable of somehow using the Origins of the natives of that galaxy to mask Noah's, somehow sending his Origin to traverse the chaotic void and be able to arrive into the new galaxy, and even the process of successfully finding a vessel that his Origin would occupy...all of these were impossible things to achieve as universal laws existed which prevented such a thing from ever becoming a reality.

Yet, the Novus Galaxy had done many things that defied universal laws, and this yet another impossibility it planned to overcome.

Noah's eyes shone as he thought about this, seeing the six rapidly rotating Origins come close to each other as they began fusing together, a milky white color spreading out as a singular white and black mass was slowly forming.

He was thinking of what made it possible for the Novus Galaxy to continue doing things that defied Universal Laws, and it could all be attributed to the "Change" she mentioned previously, but never explained to him!

Somehow, this "Change" made it possible for her to culminate a being with a Trait such as Infinite Mana that completely went against natural laws, and now she was doing another impossible thing as she planned to transmigrate the Origin of this same being seamlessly into another Galaxy.

Noah could not help but ask as he watched the formation of the milky black and white core made of the 6 Origins of the Outsiders as he prepared himself.

"What exactly is making this possible? How can you be able to undertake events to allow a successful transmigration into a vessel of another Galaxy with such confidence?"

He asked how any of this was probable as the 6 Origins of Outsiders fused into one, a spectacularly shining milky mass being observed by the eyes of Terror and Noah in the starry space of the Novus Galaxy!

[Bring the Origin Embryo into the Central Realm, I will show the 'Change' that makes all this possible.]

The voice of the Novus Galaxy rang out as the Terrors looked at each other, returning to their posts as Noah's hands delicately reached out to the milky white mass called Origin Embryo. He carefully wrapped his essence around it as his figure disappeared from this location and teleported into the Central Realm!

Not just the Central Realm, but the location where a mystical grove of ancient trees resided, the obsidian core of the Novus Galaxy lay! He reappeared within this mystical location as the thick essence of universal laws surrounded him again, the Origin Embryo he arrived floating in the air between him and the obsidian core of the Novus Galaxy.

[It was a change that occurred when I underwent the last cycle of destruction and reformation, the reason why all of this is possible.]

The voice of the Novus Galaxy rang out as Noah shockingly saw the smooth obsidian core shine with a dark light as something with a terrifying aura came out of it!

This aura was terrifying because it made his very Origin tremble as his knees nearly buckled from the weight of the pressure released, the 'thing' coming out of the obsidian core of the Novus Galaxy being this shocking!

[This is what made it all possible, something that I found with me the second my consciousness returned after the last destruction.]

An aura of colors erupted in the mystical ancient grove as Noah's eyes trembled while observing the appearance of something so powerful it felt like his entire origin could be obliterated in a second!

The thing that made it possible for the Novus Galaxy to defy so many natural laws had appeared!
