His eyes blazed with the light of anger as he saw this, his figure beginning to flicker into particles of light as a maddened voice rang out.
"Good! Good! Let's play dirty then!"
RUMBLE!
His figure rapidly disappeared as this monstrous genius who had nearly mastered a law actually began teleporting towards a particular region in the Dark Expanse, his foresight actually showing him a dreadful scene where his enemy, the Novus Galaxy, was actually making use of his own forces as fuel to create something to stand against him!
His foresight told him to quickly move the Celestials away to stop this birth of an Abomination who seemed to not have any of the restrictions of Terrors...
Chapter 571: 8 Million!
In the starry space above the Verittas Fortress, all the attention was on the appearance of two enormous star sized forms of a being with wriggling tentacles that thrummed with the power of Aether!
I'm the eyes of the watching beings, there seemed to be a plot afoot as the forces of Celestials looked to be in disorder.
A being clad in golden armament that many beings were rubbing their eyes to confirm it was the image of the War Princess- this being was actually attacking her own forces as her golden luster was becoming bathed in blood!
At the position where the being known as Crixus the Destroyer used to be, one of the monstrous star sized Young Terrors had also appeared, the force of three Star Forging Celestial Commanders going missing there after! And now, the same monstrosity had appeared in the space where three beings with Authority were battling, this time having the addition of brilliant wings of light being attached to this moving star, a Palpatine dangerous energy constantly vibrating out of it.
Disorder in the ranks of Celestials, terribly powerful beings appearing on the battlefield. At the center of it all was a single being that continued to break all known norms, and h currently trapped two Star Forging Celestials that were actually Fate Lords within the bounds of his body!
These were genuine Fate Lords, each one having mastered more than 50% of the Law of Fate, and this meant that they had more than 5 million fate lines.
Just from a conservative estimate on the effect of the Fate Stealer ability taking away 12% of the amassed Fate Lines of these beings, that meant Noah would gain more than 600,000 Fate Lines from just a single one of them.
And this was exactly what happened as he released baleful Rays of Aether while utilizing [Masterful Aether Control] around his spiked and slimy tentacles to constrict the one known as Commander Lylle to death, this Star Forger being the first to go as he released a resplendent amount of Fate Lines towards Noah.
"Brother!"
Commander Verdant was crying out painfully as he witnessed this, never imagining that he would ever be in this precarious position when they had prepared so much!
Just what could have gone wrong? Where did everything begin to fall apart?!
No answer was waiting for him as the only reason he still kept his life was because of his mastery in the law of earth as well, the green film of light reinforcing his golden essence of fate being his saving grace as he was able to survive a few seconds longer.
But it truly was not sustainable. This was because in the constantly shrinking area Commander Verdant was in, Noah was releasing attacks from the Dark Guider skill tree along with the abilities of the Young Cthulhu and the respective skills from the Herald of Fire and Water skill trees, mixing up the attacks this being received as he was faced with constantly changing attacks.
His mental defenses further could not remain as Noah released [Madness Descension], his soul fighting strongly to keep his consciousness active as it continued to slip away from him!
"You...will never succeed…!"
Commander Verdant spat out painful last words as the golden and green light around him faded, even his laid out Authority that was canceled with the three Authorities that Noah laid out not being able to save him as his body began to be ripped apart by fearsome tentacles!
RIIIP!
Blood and gore were all that remained in a matter of seconds, Noah's main body trembling as hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines rushed towards him again.
In the Realm Dreadnaught where his second clone was holding on to the body of the maddened Grandmaster Vredral, an eerie silence permeated in the control room as well as the entire Realm Dreadnaught!
This was because Noah had spread out his energy any Celestials that were taking post within the enormous Vessel were killed, him and Vredral being the only two beings remaining in it.
"Your Fate Lords have fallen, along with three Star Forgers from the help of your first disciple."
Noah's clone spoke out as he kneeled down and placed his palm on the floor of the enormous Realm Dreadnaught, his voice continuing as his energy spread out once again.
"As much as I would love to make you watch even more, there is something else much more important that I need to be doing now. I'll see you again after a bit, Master."
Noah's second clone waved his other hand towards Vredral as his body disappeared, teleported away without his permission as the Realm Dreadnaught below the clone also began to fade away!
RUMBLE!
Waves of essence erupted out as Noah wrapped his essence around the entirety of the Vessel, warping it as he placed all of it into his Expansive Space.
"..."
Those nearby and could still have the energy to pay attention saw the disappearance of the continental-sized Realm Dreadnaught, the only thing appearing in its place being a devilishly handsome figure who could barely be discerned from a far distance.
But the eyes of the figure, of Noah's second clone- actually had an intense light as they were focusing on to a single being far across the expanse of the battlefield!
It would actually be apt to say that he was looking at three figures, as each of his bodies actually had their eyes locked on towards the three remaining Star Forging Celestial Commanders that were fighting in panic with the forces of the Verittas Fortress.
This was because the moment Noah killed the 2 Fate Lords and made his kill count of the Star Forgers 5, his Fate Lines had unbelievably shot up towards 8 million!
8 million!!!
The two Fate Lords alone had given him close to 1.5 million because of their comprehension in the Law Of Fate and having a bit over 6 million Fate Lines, the prior three Celestial Star Forgers who had not yet gained the title of Fate Lord also granting him a similar amount.
This meant that in the span of a few minutes, he had actually snatched over 3 million Fate Lines, his progression abruptly shooting over 8 million.
It was utterly ridiculous and went against every possible logic, and yet he was still able to do it!
Now, his eyes honed in on the three remaining Star Forgers as he knew if he could just have these remaining Celestials...he might just actually be able to achieve something nearly impossible!
Chapter 572: Aldrich?!
The eyes of Noah's three bodies each locked on one of the three remaining Celestial Star Forgers as he began shooting towards them!
Those on the battlefield saw the rapid movement of the two monstrous star sized tentacular creatures, as well as a single golden shining figure on a much smaller scale all begin to head towards three panicking Celestials Commanders.
Those targeted also felt the threat of death as they tried to leave behind the enemies they faced and escape, their essence burning freely as they tried to pierce through the defenses of the enemy commanders and escape!
But would such a chance be given to them?
The answer was no!
Among his three bodies, his second clone was within reach of the enemy Celestial Commander within seconds as he teleported multiple times to near the spatial coordinates. This process was much slower for the enormous Aether Star Form that his main body and first clone were adopting, their enormous bodies rumbling with power as the star sized life forms pushed aside any nearby beings with an overpowering gra
vitational force while barreling towards their respective targets.
WAA!
It was a scene of grandeur and shock a one could distinctly observe a star flapping its golden wings and streaking forward, any beings in its path repulsed out as they uncontrollably moved across the void of space.
The commanders of Verittas Fortress saw these humongous forms barreling towards them as even they quickly pulled back, not even wanting to be near the monstrosity that was now targeting the three Celestial Star Forging Commanders they were just fighting.
In the distance, Athena's bloody hammer smashed into another Celestial as she carried out the command she was given while reflecting on the ongoing situation, her mind rapidly trying to make sense of the unfolding situation as time passed.
At this moment, she knew that somehow, Crixus and the 9th Infernal Lord were one and the same, this truth causing her to throw away any previous possibilities she had in place as this one was too outlandish to even imagine!
The 9th Infernal Lord that she had looked at before and even had the goal of defeating...the being that had currently cut down 5 of some of the most powerful beings in the Novus Galaxy as if they were chickens- this was the same being that played the role of her Junior Brother.
As she looked at the enormous masses of star sized abominations, she wondered whether there was really a possibility to attain true and actual order with the power this being displayed!
This question was yet to be answered as the situation continued to unfold in an even crazier fashion.
Noah's second clone that had reached the already worn down Celestial Star Forging Commander released a small area of Authority under the law of fate as pure fate essence overflowed within his body, his hands layering this with the essence of chaos as he formed a terrifyingly dense blade of pure chaos and fate essence that streaked towards his target!
SHLUCK!
The defenses of this worn-out commander were shredded instantly as the blade made of pure fate and chaos essence pierced through, his clone utilizing [Masterful Aether Control] as he released Aether to completely shred apart this enemy.
His eyes shone with light as he saw the addition of hundreds of thousands more Fate Lines, his stat panel showing this number rising up and changing constantly!
Next up, the first of his enormous Aether Star Forms to reach another Star Forging Commander was the one that had golden wings of light erupting out. The many tentacles of this Aether of Terror struck out as they deflected all the coming attacks from the frantic Celestial, enormous tentacles beginning to wrap around and constrict the being thereafter as Noah deployed multiple portals of terror within the confined space to further rupture the defenses of his enemy.
RUMBLE!
Star shaking might erupted out as yet another figure was defeated, many beings looking at this as they had long since gone past shock and were simply numb at this point.
The being causing all of this shock was currently feeling even more ecstatic as with the death of this 7th Celestial Star Forger, he actually gained another half a million Fate Lines from this being that had slightly over 4 million in total themselves, and this number pushed his own Fate Lines over 9 million!
Over 90% in the law of Fate!
The more shocking thing was how this had occurred in just a single battle, with him actually jumping from slightly over 50% and now proudly standing over 90%!
He could feel his connected heartbeats as he focused on the last remaining Celestial Star Forger that was trying his best to escape, the figure of his first clone in the Aether Star Form finally reaching him as the abundant tentacles reached out towards the Celestial.
With the defeat of this remaining Celestial Star Forger, he would be just a few hundred thousand Fate Lines away from completely comprehending a Universal Law, and a Supreme One at that!
The baleful tentacles filled with Aether thundered forth to clasp onto this Celestial, Noah already feeling this being falling into his hands when suddenly, there was a flash of gold.
Yes! Just a simple and pure flash of gold.
SHAA!
But this flash of gold arrived with an immensely powerful and domineering aura, an aura that overwhelmed any beings currently on the battlefield!
It was an aura filled with a shining light of coldness, a light that seemed to be filled with madness.
This single appearance of light thundered down in a dramatic fashion as it brought with it golden discs of light that were tens of miles in diameter, these discs multiplying numerous times as they easily went through the baleful tentacles of Noah's Aether Star Form clone, the tentacles never reached their intended target!
…!
SAA! SAA! SAA!
Like a knife passing through butter, these enormous gold discs of light miles long in diameter appeared to surround the over 200 miles long Young Cthulhu, descending unto him in but an instant as they shredded through all defenses as if they did not exist! These powerful discs of light were filled with an intense power and Authority, power at the level that Noah's clone currently had not reached as they dug into the enormous body and shredded it apart like nothing.
BOOM!
These sharply spinning golden discs actually located the core of the clone instantly, their domineering light crushing everything around it as Noah's first clone became a cut mass of tentacles, the entire body exploding into a shower of blood thereafter!
…
Silence reigned in the surrounding space as it was not shock or horror that many beings felt at this moment...just simply blankness.
WAA!
A moment later, the sharp golden discs disappeared as light particles came together and formed into the shape of a single man.
He appeared in front of the Celestial Star Forging Commander that was trying to run away from Noah's first clone, his appearance taking the eyes of every being on the battlefield.
Hair that seemed to be a mixture of white and gold. Eyes that shone with a powerful light of genius and madness which drew everything in. An expression that was normally calm and peaceful, yet currently it seemed to contain boundless wrath as it stared at Noah's main body far in the distance!
RUMBLE!
A domineering air that caused the origins of many beings to tremble spread out across the silent battlefield as the Founder of the Celestials, Aldrich- unexpectedly and shockingly made his appearance for the first time since the beginning of the Last War.
His first action was a single attack that utterly decimated a creature that had seemed immensely strong to all those watching the previous battle, a clone of Noah's being taken out the moment that Aldrich arrived!
His eyes that actually shone with a light of wrath focused on a single figure as the dynamic of the Last War were forever changed, entering into a stage nobody had expected!
Chapter 573: Are you sure? Now?
Many times throughout history, events that are otherwise uncontrollable occur.
When such events occur, all that someone can control is how they react to them!
Currently, an unexpected and uncontrollable event where the Founder of Celestials, Aldrich, had actually appeared on the battlefield at the Verittas Fortress occurred. His entrance was a grand one that announced his power for all to see, releasing a single attack that pulverized a creature that had given the image of terror to all those watching.
Many beings were still in a state of shock as not a single figure moved the second after Aldrich's arrival. The eyes of this being were currently locked on to two figures- the golden winged Aether Star Form that was Noah's main body, as well as the devilishly handsome second clone that was standing with a cold expression while staring back!
The man he locked eyes on with an unwilling expression was a genuine expert at the Nebula Realm, a realm where one forged numerous stars within their Origin as they expanded into a Nebula!
Such a realm had varying levels of power, where a new expert that had just broken through could be defeated with a being that had
been in the same Nebula Rank with a single move- just as long as they had been cultivating in that realm for many more years.
So even on the same level, there could be huge gaps in strength as one being could only have 3 Stars forged within their Origin, while an older one could have 20 Stars that were backing their strength!
This realm made it so that anyone ranked lower could not even begin imagining the possibility of matching those in the Nebula Realm, and yet now...Noah was looking at such a being with an unwilling expression. His eyes were cold as many thoughts came and went, multiple options opening themselves up to him as to what path he could take as he saw Aldrich raise his hand.
RUMBLE!
The first attack of this being had decimated his first clone, and he now made a move to release another without so much so as a word!
"Brother. Please, stop."
WAA!
It was at this moment though, that a tired voice rang out across the expanse of space, an aged figure materializing from particles of light not too far from Aldrich!
This newly appearing being did not release any ounce of energy, yet the eyes of Aldrich that locked onto him had their light of wrath and madness slightly dim as his raised hand came down, his gaze reluctantly shifting entirely to this new being.
"You...abandoning me for so long and only appearing to get in my way again?"
Aldrich's cold voice rang out as shockingly, another being at the Nebula Realm descended! This time, it was the third Founder that had just returned from seeking out a Terror in the Letalis Expanse, a tired being that released an expression of helplessness and sorrow anytime you looked at him.
RUMBLE!
But this wasn't all as a second later, multiple more auras at the Nebula Realm descended madly, many lower-ranked being losing consciousness and beginning to float in the expanse of space as others nearly felt like their bodies were folding within themselves!
The rarest beings in the Novus Galaxy, those that stood at the highest realm of power that anybody had achieved in this galaxy- five had shockingly appeared in this one central location.
