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 forc
es 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.s.trous 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.
