Chapter 1086: A Race Against Time! I
The Apex Paragon would take it upon himself to destroy the remaining Universal Constructs and any Hegemonies that stood in his way!
The words were extremely grand as the Hegemonies that heard them would normally find them unbelievable...but they actually couldn't refute them at this time.
After all, they had just seen a scene of those exact actions occurring moments ago!
As for how he would do it with the limited amount of time he had? Naturally, Noah had already made plans that were being carried out at this instant.
Before he left the Chthonian Universe that he had managed to conclude the events of in less than an hour, Noah looked at the Great Old Nazzagath as his eyes flashed with a mysterious light.
This was a powerful Hegemony, and a sensible one as well as he had paved the way for Noah to gain the fealty of half the Universe with utter ease even before he met him. Towards such a being, Noah smiled mysteriously as he voiced out.
"Say...why don't you pledge Fealty to me? Your power can be increased multiple times over, and you'll even be able to see all the Chthonians from your Universe again."
"...!"
The Great Old Nazzagath looked towards Noah with utter stupor at such words, this powerful existence not even knowing how to answer!
He was actually given the same treatment as the few Quintillions of Chthonians had just received, but someone of his might and caliber naturally could not have the same answer.
Noah saw the troubled expression on the face of the Great Old Nazzagath as his body and the figure of the remaining Blue SLime began to be covered with a spatial light.
"Take your time and think about it. I'll ask you again when the time is right."
WAA!
With these words, Noah's figure disappeared as he left behind a befuddled Hegemony and many more outside of the universal boundary of the Chthonian Universe in shock.
For the conquest of the Chthonian Universe, not even an hour had passed before it was completed as Noah already forged ahead to the next one.
This was because he was racing against time before a terrifying Antiquity descended and did whatever he wanted to the entire Cosmos that his Dark Universe stemmed from!
At the same time Noah left the Chthonian Universe, his enemies were recuperating in the Liberated Universe after facing an appalling amount of successive losses.
The Liberated Universe was vast, with its nature being unique in the Primordial Cosmos as it was one where its existences established very clear lines of two factions throughout the Universe.
These factions were labeled Heroes and Villains as interestingly, the Hegemony that was the head of the faction of Heroes had sided with Chronos for their search of Antiquity!
After the shocking battle against the Oathkeeper and watching him destroy a Universal Construct, Chronos and the others left the Microbial Universe that didn't have the authority to keep out Hegemonies anymore as they arrived in the abode of the Heroic Hegemony that was right beside the Universal Construct within this Universe.
The mood was grim as these powerful beings were all on a glimmering flat star that shone with a red and gold luster, its surroundings beautifully matching with the Heroic Hegemony that had a costume with a cape shining with the same colors of red and gold.
It was a grim mood as it became grimmer soon after when Chronos seemingly stood up in shock, having received information as he looked towards the far away direction of the Chthonian Universe with unbridled stupor!
"The Universal Construct of the Chthonian Universe...has also been destroyed!"
...!
"What?!"
RUMBLE!
The atmosphere became extremely oppressive as powerful auras rose and question this stated reality, Chronos being surrounded by the figures of the Goliath, Heroic Hegemony, Cerulean Hegemony, Hegemony Dark Shadow, Microbial Hegemony...and multiple other Hegemony at this moment as the total number within this Liberated Universe actually towered over 20 Universal Realm experts.
None of them could believe the words of Chronos as the ancient voice of the Goliath rang out with somberness.
"Oathkeeper is this powerful with the Cosmic Treasure? To be capable of facing all of us and even resisting the authority of a Hegemony that he can so quickly destroy two Universal Constructs in such a short period of time?"
WAA!
The somber voice of this ancient being was actually filled with hidden amazement at such power, but Chronos quickly shook his head as he replied.
"No. It wasn't the Oathkeeper that destroyed the Universal Construct in the Chthonian Universe...but the Apex Paragon!"
...!
Ah!
The faces of all Hegemonies blanked out for a second as they absorbed the words, Chronos relaying the information that a Hegemony under him in a nearby Universe had observed within the Chthonian Universe as the reality was one that nobody listening could believe!
"The contracted Summon under him has somehow achieved Hegemony, with their battle power being enough to kill Great Old Kubo before they destroyed the Construct..."
Chronos has his hands massaging his forehead as he spoke, the sequence of events seemingly making this powerful being so frustrated that he had to do this humane action!
Still, his words could barely be believable when he said them as they seemed like rubbish to these powerful existences.
The Summon of a Paragon had risen to the Universal Realm and gone ahead to kill a Hegemony right after? Someone as old and powerful as Kubo?
Some would think it was a joke if it wasn't for the seriousness that Chronos said the words with!
As they all absorbed his words, Chronos had a terrifying light cross through his eyes as they became firm and decisive, turning towards all the Hegemonies and looking at them with calm eyes that seemed utterly devoid of emotion.
"The mission we have all worked very hard to achieve is right before our eyes, with the Great Usurper feeling the changes even faster than us as his authority within the occupied Universes has even increased, his descent being within a matter of hours!"
WAA!
Hours!
A measure of time that these Hegemonies considered nothing!
To beings like them that lived for millions of years, the set of hours within a day was akin to them blinking before they passed.
But in the coming hours, these powerful existences would come to feel as if the hours were stretched into years!
