"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 ba
rrier 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.
