Chapter 1058 - Influence Across Universes! III
A Paragon raising their hand to attack a Hegemony!
Such a scene was a rare one to come across, especially since the gap in power was simply too vast to cross.
Yet Noah...wanted to try!
This was because he held multiple Cosmic Daos, and he wanted to see if this would be enough to overcome the large gap in strength.
THRUM!
The enormous clock spun crazily as the essence of Chronos came down in droves, forming into a sharp point as it swirled dangerously in a serpentine fashion. It carried with it the desolate of time as anything hit with it would face the effects of [Instantaneous Age Regression and Progression]. Contained within this swirling strike was seemingly the crimson essence of Annihilation, but it was actually a mixture of Annihilation and Ruination as three Cosmic Daos twisted around each other to strike down the deathly figure of the Hegemony of Necromancy.
The genuine Universal Realm expert looked at this strike as the dark flames within its sockets flickered..
The obsidian barrier covering the vast Universal Construct behind him shone as it became even thicker, his own body obtaining a similar barrier as against the terrifying killing strike that would decimate any Incarnation...he did nothing but make the natural barrier of a Hegemony more prominent around his body!
BOOM!...BZZZZT!
The sharp cluster of three Cosmic Essences struck the obsidian barrier of the Hegemony as the flames in his sockets blazed brighter momentarily, but they calmed down soon after as even while space deteriorated and folded around him, this Hegemony remained spotless as his barrier wasn't breached.
…!
Yet the mind of the Hegemony was shaken as they almost sensed a penetrative force stronger than anything he imagined to nearly devour a portion of the protective field he constructed that no Paragon should even be able to damage!
'The fuck was that?!'
His dead heart nearly beat faster for a millisecond before it calmed down.
The Hegemony did not know this, but this was due to the terrifying Dao of Ruination!
Noah looked at this scene with calm eyes as he called out slowly.
[Temporal Halt].
WAA!
[Temporal Looping].
…!
The essence of Chronos wrapped around the skeletal figure of the Hegemony of Necromancy as it threatened to bring the time around it to a stand still while putting him in a constant frozen loop of time!
But...the Hegemony had now learned to be careful as he didn't underestimate this ridiculous being!
As the runic circles brimming with the essence of time swarmed around him to try and do their intended purpose...dark obsidian skeletal hands reached out as with the force that only Universal Realm experts could wield.
The skeletal hands touched the swirling runic circles of Chronos as they brought them to a stop, and then they ripped the essence of this Cosmic Dao apart as the surroundings of the Hegemony were soon filled with the Cosmic Essence of Necromancy!
…!
The pure force of a Universal Realm expert pulsed out as it ripped apart the Cosmic Essence utilized by a Paragon a level below!
Even though the quality of the Cosmic Dao was extremely high...it still could not withstand the force of an existence that could wield the force of a Universe within their Origins. Paired with them reinforcing their bodies with another Cosmic Dao, even if it was of lesser quality- they could seamlessly stand against Noah at this moment.
The enormous clock releasing the essence of Chronos glimmered above them as Noah stared calmly at the Hegemony after all skills were broken.
Even at this moment, the Hegemony did not make a move against Noah.
He could defend and set up barriers, but he could not attack!
Noah returned to his bony throne as he didn't continue, even though he had other methods of attacking that he would have to reveal some of his major secrets if he employed.
He didn't plan to utilize these yet.
When he did utilize them and expose his secret of A Cosmic Treasure and the Cosmic Dao of Ruination, he wanted to do it while guaranteeing the death of a certain Hegemony!
As of right now, with just pure power...he couldn't break the might and defenses of a Hegemony.
Not yet.
Maybe even not him, as his eyes wandered to the Blue Slime in the Automaton Universe that was putting to an end the conquest of the third Universe within the Primordial Cosmos.
At this moment, this Blue Slime was Devouring the other 35 Seeds of Chaos that Noah just sent over, and there were 80 more that he obtained from the 80 Incarnations of Chaos that were sent into this Universe!
As Noah saw and felt the terrifying level of power of the Blue Slime that only continued to rise, as well as the number of connected Galaxies crossing 20 Billion this very second...he wondered if the first existence to become a Hegemony would even be him in the near future!
He wondered if he was the one with the Trait of [Protagonist], as this Blue Slime was rising in connecting his Galaxies even faster than he was without the need to collect Marks of Antiquity and form his Dao Galaxies yet.
At this moment, the Blue Slime was roaring out dominantly across the battlefield of the Automaton Universe where 80 Incarnations had fallen, its eyes glimmering with power as from its body and the bodies of the other Animus Summons Noah was fused to, the essence of the Dao of Fealty began to spread from them and emulate out to the surrounding millions of miles- stretching themselves for light years as the light of Conquest was closing in the Automaton Universe as well!
Without an enemy capable of standing against them in sight, Noah's influence now extended across multiple universes as the Necrotic and Automaton Universes were brought into his fold.
The number of Marks of Antiquity such actions brought him were grand, his main body in the Dark Universe swimming in a golden luster at this moment as even his surroundings were tinted a gorgeous gold!
In the Necrotic Universe, the Primordial Ruination Clone returned to his bony throne as he stared at the yet to be taken down Hegemony of Necromancy, the skeletal hands of this clone rising up as he didn't throw out another attack, but a unique spatial essence spread out from him as it went on to cover the trillions of Undead in the Legions behind him.
Many beings looked at his actions as he wondered what he was doing now!
A type of essence began to expand from the skeletal fingers at this moment as Noah's voice rang out.
"My attacks cannot reach you now...but this won't be the case the next time that I attack you again!"
RUMBLE!
"Similar to how I can butcher Paragons and your Incarnations as if they were mere vegetables while I am in the same Realm...I will be giving the same treatment to Hegemonies like you when I establish my Universe."
…!
A promise!
A promise was uttered out in the eyes of all as in the next instant, the essence that Noah was utilizing was revealed as its target...was actually the Legions behind him, a spatial essence beginning to wrap around them!
