But the newfound strength of Vampyres was first shown in this battle in the Mist Domain, and many would come to realize that such a level of strength was actually widespread among the Vampyres, the strongholds they protected being those where the Celestials would face the most losses in the future to come!
Chapter 528 - {{Authority}}
As battles unfolded all around the Novus Galaxy, Noah's second clone continued to make ridiculously fast progress in the Time Space of the Spiritual World.
Currently, the Spiritual World was acting like a huge factory that churned out Item Sets, Medicinal Herbs, and potions as every now and then, the second clone attended to the many medicinal fields to rapidly cause the maturing of plants while the Spiritual World System worked to harvest and process the medicinal plants into Potions in the [Alchemy Hall].
Such potions would then be distributed to all of Noah's forces as they were equipped with things that many would be envious of for their effectiveness in the field of battle! This was also one of the reasons that contributed to the dominance of the Vampyres in the coming battlefields aside from the boosts of the Guider Type Abilities.
Currently, the Second Clone had already finished the rounds of the maturation of medicinal fields as he returned to the Time Space and resumed cultivating the universal laws as well as raise the proficiencies of skills trees when something shocking happened just a few minutes in.
Noah's main body was actually the one feeling all the shocking changes as it was occurring in his Origin where two additional cores were rotating peacefully, his awareness watching as the Fire and Water Origin Core actually had cracks spreading out all around them before they instantly shone resplendently. As if something was blooming, even brighter cores that trembled with power showed themselves, making one think the previous ones were quite dull in comparison!
Noah understood what had occurred as through the efforts of his second clone, he had actually been able to raise the proficiency in the Laws of Fire and Water past 50%, effectively mastering half of two universal laws!

His stat panel beautifully displayed in front of his eyes, showing the rapid progress in all the laws as his Chaos Particles had also broken past the 1 million mark, his Fate Lines also rising by more than 300,000 in the span of a few days from his cultivation and the actions he had taken with the Vampyres.
The alteration and changing of fate would continue as he collected more and more Fate Lines over the coming months as the war dragged on. But the most important thing currently were the normal laws of Fire and Water that he had comprehended more than 50% of, the origin cores becoming Stage 5 as the abilities under <
This alone created for an amazing boon, but it was nothing compared to the addition of a new section at the bottom of the stat panel, a section that listed the type of Authority he could use now that he had comprehended more than 50% of a law.
His eyes shone as he glanced at the details of this {{Authority}}!
{{Flame Lord's Authority}} :: With your command, the surrounding miles are placed under a fiery and inviolable authority that has the effects of Cast Disruption, Mana Interference, Flame Manifestation, Atmospheric Regulation, as well as increasing the effectiveness of all flame related abilities by 500% and reducing their mana cost by 90%. This authority is a manifestation of will power that will overpower any who do not stand on the same level, but the mana cost for its usage is simply terrible. Its uses are many and versatile, with those that continue advancing in the law of fire will find themselves being able to use this authority to apply the Flame Lord's Armament across their body. Such an armament cannot be pierced through unless another being with similar law comprehension or exceedingly powerful strength appears.
A fairly lengthy description of the {{Flame Lord Authority}} was displayed in front of Noah as his mind rapidly moved to absorb everything. The {{Water Lord's Authority}} had nearly the same description, the only changes being water where flames were in the long set of words.
The description mentioned that the usage of such an authority were many, and these words were very true as there were many abilities contained in this single use of authority!
Similar to when Noah first became exposed to it in the Celestial Realm, this {{Authority}} allowed one to actually interfere with the mana of those it encompassed, being able to disrupt their casting of skills and much more.
There were the abilities of Flame Manifestation and Atmospheric Regulation that he could use to create a hellishly blazing domain under the area covered by this {{Authority}}, his fire abilities elevated to a whole other level as his eyes honed in towards the aforementioned [Flame Lord's Armament].
Those that were proficient in the Law of Fire could encase their bodies with this authoritative armament that actually allowed one to remain invincible if they faced an enemy that had not comprehended any law past 50%, their bodies only ever being reached if a freak of nature with exceeding strength that overpowered the laws appeared!
Noah's eyes shone as he felt like he was entering a brand new area of strength that came with its own separate rules, his heart beginning to beat even faster as he applied this new knowledge of authority to the law of fate.
As this was a Supreme Law, its effectiveness and uniqueness should be even grander, and this was a terrifying thought to have when he applied it to the Founder of Celestials, Aldrich!
If even a normal law had something like the {{Flame Lord's Armament}} that made someone nearly invincible unless another being proficient in laws stood against them, just how ridiculously powerful was the Founder who neared 100% under the law of fate and could use what Noah assumed to be {{Fate Lord's Authority}} with more control than anyone else in the Novus Galaxy?
It was a terrifying thought to have as even though Noah broke through into another stage and obtained a fearsome new power, his heart became even colder as he got back to training with his second clone right away.
The feeling of pressure of someone immensely powerful than him was only becoming clearer in his eyes, his heart pushing himself to do even more than what he was currently doing as he moved forward and sought even more strength!
Chapter 529 - War Princess!
Across the starry expanse of space, the forces of Celestials were slowly all coming in contact with the defensive line of the defenders of the Dark Expanse. Battles had fully begun in many regions as some ended in a matter of minutes, while others went on to take days!
This all depended on which Celestial Legions were on the move, and exactly how the power of the defending side matched with them.
Among the clashes between the two forces of Light and Dark Expanse, the Celestials were finding it particularly harder to pierce through regions protected by the force of Vampyres!
This was because of the immense firepower they showed that had never been seen before, their bodies fighting even to their last breath as they seemed to have renewed vigor. In the few days preceding the full start of the Last War, it was the topics of the newly found strength of Vampyres, Crixus the Destroyer, and the 9th Infernal Lord protecting the Verittas Fortress that took the center of many being's thoughts.
On this day though, yet another figure was about to make themselves known as the playback of their assault was being seen with increasing eyes. The figure that grandly made her name known this time around was the one known as the War Princess, Athena!
In the unique environment of war, many got the
chance to see exactly why she held the title of the War Princess.
Athena had led the assault on a stronghold where Mages and Vampyres were protecting, and her assault had shockingly led to the first battles that a stronghold in the Dark Expanse being protected by Vampyres faced.
The reason for the War Princess' shocking victory was something that only she and very few Celestials knew of- her Unique Ability that was called {Precognition}!
This was the ability that first granted her the title of War Princess, and also the ability that shone with great splendor on the battlefield.
Athena displayed a shocking scene where she singularly led a single Celestial Legion that only had her at the World Rank, facing against a stronghold that was protected by a World Rank Vampyre and World Rank Mage commanders.
A battle of two against one, with many people finding it difficult for the defending Vampyres and Mages to lose given the track record since the beginning of the war. Athena proved this belief wrong as she valiantly appeared and controlled the pace of the battle in a manner that only the most proficient generals could!
She floated in the expanse of space as her eyes shone with splendor, a proud old man floating beside her as she was encased in a golden armament that only made her brilliance shine brighter. With every wave of her hand, numerous commands were released from her forces as they utilized the technology of the Prime Warsh.i.p.s and their own group attacks, fluidly withstanding the fearsome Vampyres and Mages as the War Princess then went on to match against the two World Rank Commanders by herself.
Singularly and brilliantly!
Her unique ability let her foresee even more things as she rose to higher ranks, predicting the movements and attacks of her enemies as she showed a battle that attracted the eyes of all those watching simply because of one thing- Dominance!
It was this type of beautiful dominance that only the most seasoned Commander would show in a war, but it was being displayed by a newly risen Celestial Commander.
This was a being holding the title of Noble Fate. This was the War Princess, Athena!

In the Verittas Fortress, Noah was watching the brilliant display of Athena's battle as his gaze remained calm.
His first clone was currently holding the defensive position of defending Verittas Fortress as the 9th Infernal Lord, his Legion floating in space with palpating pressure as they waited patiently for any signs of Celestials.
Commanding Mage Turner and the Dark Wizard Shanora were still defending alongside him, with the addition of two World Rank Vampyres that Vladivostok wanted besides their progenitor to further reinforce them.
The figures of the Harbingers could be seen among the Vampyres, along with many Spiritual World Beasts and Noah's first pet, Draco. A particularly pristine Emperor Penguin with sparkling dark and silver colors was floating around as he acted like a commander of the forces of Vampyres, Elena shaking her head with a smile as Barbatos looked at this in an annoyed manner while she waved her hands to summon her undead legion.
She and all of his subordinates were currently trying to digest their gains from the last battle where they obtained World Rank Cores and skill books, wanting to break into the next realm as soon as possible!
Noah also saw this as an inevitability as all the cores he gained were also prioritized to the Spiritual World Beasts and Harbingers, the levels of these beings continuing to shoot up at insane degrees. This was to more quickly achieve his goal of upgrading into a realm, and to make sure that his people would be strong enough to not lose their battles in the fights to come.
RUMBLE!
A wave of power spread out at this instant as Noah came out of his thoughts, the Infernal Legion in front of him waving their weapons down and signaling the aura of beings they were particularly sensitive to nearing.
Resolute expressions formed on the faces of the defenders of the Verittas Fortress as they prepared to face another assault, knowing that the stronghold they were occupying could not fall simply because of its importance.
Noah's eyes pierced through the starry expanse of space as the veils slowly lifted, his eyes landing on a collection of truly numerous sh.i.p.s heading towards the Verittas Fortress. The sh.i.p.s were truly many as he confirmed with his own eyes what he already knew from his knowledge as a Celestial Commander- and that was the information that this time around, two Celestial Legions would be leading the assault on the Verittas Fortress!
His eyes curved into a delighted smile at this as it meant more and more food delivering itself to him, his hands waving in front of him as he called for the activation of a recently upgraded skill tree, summoning the [Abyssal Lich] who could play with millions of undead as he wanted to show them a different type of despair...
Chapter 530 - Two Legions!
RUMBLE!
Waves of dreary and deathly essence spread out as an enormous black runic circle materialized above the 9th Infernal Lord, the many Mages looking towards this curiously as they had startled eyes, their proficiency in runes letting them know how truly intricate and complex this whole summoning was.
WAAA!
Dark essence erupted outwards as the summoned being appeared, the back robed [Abyssal Lich] holding a pristine skull staff that shone with piercing golden eyes appearing in front of them!
This Lich released an immensely powerful aura of death as it bowed to Noah, then turning its head towards the enemies that would soon come towards its master as it waved the skull staff it carried forward.
The golden eyes of the staff shone with a luminous assortment of colors as they released a gold and dark light, the summoning on a multitude of undead in droves beginning to appear all across the void of space!
These Undead caught the eyes of many as they had distinct dark and gold colors, the [Abyssal Lich] using the ability [Elemental Undead] to imbue an entire Undead Legion with Fate and Chaos Essence!
OOOH!
Baleful roars began to ring out from the undead as more and more of them appeared, the Abyssal Witch waving his staff like a symphony as even larger runic circles that released enormous undead were materializing.
The forces of the Verittas Fortress watched on with shaking eyes as the appearance of the enormous Abyssal Undead made their debut into the battle field, many rubbing their eyes as they saw 50-meter tall Undead Dragons that shone with the l.u.s.ter of chaos or fate.
They were under the impression that the 9th Infernal Lord had shown nearly all of his abilities in the past battle, but they never thought he could pull vastly different ones and at such a grand scale!
They watched with amazed eyes as he also waved his hands and summoned 5 beings that released the aura of World Rank experts, the figures of summons that many recognized making their appearance as an enormous force bulked up around the 9th Infernal Lord.
The numerous Prime Warsh.i.p.s of two Celestial Legion made themselves apparent in front of the eyes of the defenders of the Verittas Fortress soon as the tension palpated between the two sides.
---
In one of the largest vessels of the two Celestial Legions, two Celestial Commanders that stood at the peak of the World Rank were discussing in a calm manner as they gazed at the resplendent abilities of the 9th Infernal Lord that was summoning tens of thousands of undead in droves.
"Everything is ready?"
One of the Commanders squinted his eyes as he asked, receiving a nod and a sharp reply that made one's ears ring.
"They have sent word that they are fully ready. These savages will not know what hit them."
The eyes of this commander were cold as they shone dangerously, the sight of the 9th Infernal Lord that had taken down 7 World Rank Commanders from the first Celestial Legion sent to the Verittas Fortress actually not making them feel an ounce of fear!
This was because they came prepared. Not just with two legions, but with something else that would shock the entire state of battle!
Wide smiles were on the faces of the two Commanders in
this single vessel as they looked towards the 9th Infernal Lord. Even while filled with all the knowledge about this being's battle prowess and strength, their eyes were those that already considered the being in front of them as good as dead.
OOOH!
The horns of war resounded as the majestic forces of the two Celestial Legions were on full display, the hundreds of thousands in numbers beginning to spread out from the Prime Warsh.i.p.s like ants as they formed a tidal wave in the expanse of space.
The commanders of these two Celestial Legions then took center stage as they stepped to the forefront of the army, the defenders of the Verittas Fortress being able to see the assembly of World Rank Commanders as their eyes turned sharp.
Aside from the two commanders that were having secretive discussions in the largest vessel, they were accompanied on both sides by five World Rank Experts each!
This meant that in total, there were 12 World Rank Celestials participating in this battle, their gazes that of great confidence as they stared down towards the Verittas Fortress.
The Celestial Commander at the forefront smiled as he spoke out to those around him.
"We do not leave this stronghold unless it is with the head of the 9th Infernal Lord, understood?"
"Yes!"
RUMBLE!
Waves of power stretched out as the aura of fate erupted, the gazes of all twelve commanders honing in on a particularly calm Infernal Lord who seemed to be more interested in watching the summoning of tens of thousands of undead by an Abyssal Lich.
The forces of the Undead Legion made up of chaos and fate element undead had their voracious gazes at the sight of the Celestials, Noah giving a light smile as he didn't give any grand declarations or words, simply motioning for the Abyssal Lich to move as he initiated the battle right away.
OOOH!
Space rumbled as the tens of thousands of undead began to roll forward, the Abyssal Undead towering over 50 meters in size being even more eye catching as they fearlessly charged towards the celestial army.
