Chapter 1228 - One Man Army! II
A unique scene was playing out in the Cosmic Battlefield as the image of a single figure floating gloriously in the midst of shattered boundaries of Galaxies and Universes could be seen.
"This…"
Such a scene was not just reflected among those being situated in the Cosmic Battlefield, but also being displayed for countless quintillions of beings that didn't have the authority to enter this Cosmic arena!
It was also being displayed to the opposing team that had yet to arrive, a Daolord whose body was filled with crackling Dao Lines looking at this scene with utter coldness...but with a hint of somberness.
He was Daolord Flamebright, an extremely old being that oversaw 10 Cosmos under the House of Stormdust with the aid of 18 other Daolords and thousands of Antiquities!
His eyes were fiery red just like his hair, a Mohawk rising up gloriously as it made him look unique. Such a being was filled with somberness as he knew the enemy they all were about to face very well.
When the Family Head had called upon him after the Writ of Challenge arrived, he was told how they had sent a Forefather against this being along with multiple other powerful Daolords...and all of these beings never returned!
A Forefather never returned!
'Just what is this creature…' Flamebright looked at the lone being that pulsed with battle intent as he prepared.
He wasn't disdainful or thinking this battle would be easy after knowing such information, but he was still confident- and even more so after seeing him come alone!
'Overconfidence is the death of many, you won't be the first…'
Flamebright has such a thought as he waved his hands to once more gaze upon a crimson sword that pulsed as if it had a heartbeat, this sword occasionally flickering in and out of existence as if it couldn't be grasped.
"With a Quasi-Cosmic Treasure from the Head and all the Daolords and Antiquities we have...this battle will be won!"
WAA!
He had spoken aloud as he turned behind him to glance upon the 18 Daolords and thousands of Antiquities, all of them returning his fervor as they bellowed out.
OOOOH!
The instructions the Family Head had given them were simple. Do not underestimate the enemy, and attack him as if your life was on the line because it actually was!
"The being we face may have power rivaling the strongest Forefathers...and we face him alone. He has glanced upon Edicts, and we face him alone!" Flamebright's words were strong as he faced his allies.
"Treat him as your life's worst enemy and burn as many Universes as you need to in order to survive. When we come out victorious, you will be compensated beyond your wildest dreams."
THRUM!
As he spoke, he waved his hands to pull out a more than half-devoured Grand Primordial Heart that caused the eyes of the surrounding Daolords and Antiquities to burn red!
They saw the Treasure before them.
Then they glanced at the lone enemy they had to defeat.
Their hearts burned with battle intent that continued to rise, the surroundings becoming filled with storms of vibrant essence as their figures began to disappear towards the Cosmic Battlefield!
This opposing side had their own speculations, and the prestigious audience seated at the edges of the Cosmic Battlefield had their own opinions.
"Appearing alone just to show off? You would think a Daolord that has lived millions of years would be smarter!"
From the Golden seats of the House of Havenbreaker, a Daolord spoke out loudly among his peers as many around him nodded with distasteful faces.
They didn't like that Princess Halcyon had given this being so much attention, and they didn't like him showing off now!
"We all received a wake up call on how to act over the years, this Daolord will just receive his today."
The others in the surroundings agreed, this sentiment being shared by most of those in the House of Springforge and Stormdust as well!
They all now knew that Daolord Osmont was strong, but someone's lone strength only ever went so far.
OOOOM!
They saw waves of essence cover the other side of the Cosmic Battlefield as the combatants from the House of Stormdust began to appear, these beings receiving knowledgeable nods from those watching as the total number of 18 Daolords led by Flamebright followed by thousands of Antiquities could now be gloriously seen.
"Little Halcyon, are you sure this is the guy you've been seeing? He seems just a tad bit overconfident…" In a hidden Realm, the powerful Springforge spoke to a calmly drinking Halcyon as they looked at an enormous illusory screen showing everything playing out in the Cosmic Battlefield!
Halcyon's eyes shimmered with their gold light as she only replied calmly.
"We'll all naturally have the answer in due time."
"Hmph." The verdant haired woman that still hadn't bothered to cloth herself increased the green flames that were cooking the Primordial Beast meat before them as these two unique beings continued to watch the battle that was about to unfold.
The audience had arrived and still continued to come! The combatants themselves were all there! Now, it was only the battle that was to begin!
The edges of the Cosmic Battlefield were lively as countless trillions of Paragons, Hegemonies, Antiquities, and Daolords all clustered together to watch the result of wild Writ of Challenge.
On the Blue seats that had just appeared, an Emperor Penguin had a pristine black bow tie on it as it carried two trays on both flippers that held popcorn and drinks, Adelaide and the others accepting the refreshments with a smile as they had zero worries for the battle to come!
The figures of King Augustus Marcus Tiberius, Lexis Marcus Tiberius, and many others from the Indigo Cosmos could also be seen on the glimmering Blue seats as their hearts became increasingly calm when they saw how laid back Noah's own subordinates were.
All eyes went to the center of the Cosmic Battlefield where both sides had now arrived, the illusory veil between the two sides erected and standing strong as it began to shine brightly, indicating the battle was about to begin!
