Chapter 1097: Mere Hours Before an Apocalypse Arrives! II
Ah!
How far one could advance on their path of power!
Noah thought such a thing as he looked at the Hegemonies that actually turned hesitant to his arrival, only to bolster their courage a second later as if they received reassuring words from somewhere.
He actually made an entire group of Hegemonies fear him before he himself became a Hegemony, such a feat making Noah smile as he looked mockingly towards his enemies while his body began to bubble forth with power once more!
"No...it definitely looked like you guys were scared just a second ago. Did you hear about how 6 dudes in the same realm as you perished just a few minutes ago?"
RUMBLE!
He spoke nonchalantly as immense waves of mana emanate from him, the Mechanical Hegemonies and the other 2 Hegemonies feeling their hearts turn cold at his nonchalant words as they didn't know whether to focus on the Paragon or the Blue Slime that wasn't even moving below him!
"Do you want to know how they died? I'm about to recreate it right now."
...!
His body vibrated like an unstable bomb about to be let loose, his figure lifting from the Blue Slime as his right hand pulled back and seemed ready to punch.
Such a stance caused the eyes of the Hegemonies to shake, and this was because they had received a description of the manner that this being attacked as they didn't want such a scene to be recreated with them in it!
Chronos had just told them to hold off for one minute before reinforcements arrived, so the figure of the Mechanical Hegemony flashed with light as he continued to speak, simply trying to buy that little more time.
"We can pause and talk a bit like equals, Apex Paragon. We can share with you what we are doing here and how it can benefit you to also become an Antiquity..."
His ancient voice was as slow as possible, waiting for Noah to converse with him as the essence of his body was undulating around him powerfully so he could be ready for anything!
But the reply he received...
"I have no need for methods of Antiquity. After all, I can become one in just a matter of days!"
RUMBLE!
The moment that his words finished, Noah's figure flashed.
His pulsing body that had been accumulating essence within itself and in the Cosmic Treasure exploded out as he appeared a few miles away from the enormous figure of the Mechanical Hegemony, his punch flying out as he once again used the capabilities of the Cosmic Treasure to initiate a rupture of the folds of the Universe he was in!
No more talk, just action!
BOOM...RIIIP!
The rupture began to spread with him at the center as the figures of the Mechanical Hegemony and others bellowed out, their bodies lighting up with powerful waves of essence as they got prepared to fight whatever was to come.
But their hearts were actually shaking as the words of the Apex Paragon rang out in their ears and even the ears of all eyes that were now directed within this universe.
It was the words of this Apex Paragon that actually said he could become an Antiquity in a matter of days!
Such arrogant words would have made them scoff and not take such a being seriously, but when it came to this mysterious Apex Paragon..were they actually a lie, or was this being actually capable of this?!
As they found themselves grappling with this question, a rupture tore apart tens of thousands of miles as it completely devoured the figure of the Mechanical Hegemony that Noah wasn't too far from. As for the World Tree and the Hegemony of Brutality, these beings had turned into streaks of light that shot off in different directions to try and outrun the expansion of the deadly rift they could only see as an all devouring black hole!
But could existences in the Universal Realm really escape from the speed that a Cosmic Treasure unfurled a Universe?
The answer was no as shockingly, it seemed like the black hole had sentience as the main rupture split in two and set out branching ruptures in the different directions these beings were running towards, the two of them becoming embedded in it a moment later.
WAA!
Each of them felt like they had fallen into a quagmire as it was already hard enough for anyone without RUINATION to move around in the Ruination Sea, but they despaired a second later when they felt the descent of the essence of Chronos wrap around them and hold them down even more!
The Blue Slime had now made a move as his voice stretched out for all of them to hear.
"Temporal Halt."
...!
A shimmering blue clock had inexplicably appeared in the space above them as these three beings were locked in place, their hearts screaming in anger and denial as their fear fully exploded at this moment! Even though they knew it was coming! Even though they thought they were prepared! They still fell into the Sea of Ruination as their Origins began to be eaten up while a lone Slime moved towards them.
Noah looked on at this scene coldly as his gaze was on the Universal Construct that now lay unprotected, just waiting for the Blue Slime to finish devouring these 3 Hegemonies before he proceeded forward to other Universes and entirely prevented the descent of the Antiquity!
But...this was when he felt waves of spatial essence stretch out a few hundred miles away, his eyes turning towards a certain direction as they were able to hone in and observe 3 newly appearing figures.
If it was just the reinforcements of another 3 Hegemonies, Noah would even bat an eye as he would simply consider them another set of cannon fodder. But from the three, the one at the very forefront had a vibrating black hole as his entire body shook with the profound essence of Extinction!
The Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos- the being that was one of the oldest who was still alive today...this being had actually appeared to stand against Noah today!
"Hmmm?"
Noah's red eyes shone gloriously at such a development, a devilish smile appearing on his terrifying Cthulhu-like face as within the newly formed Ruination Sea, the Blue Slime had already swallowed the terrified Mechanical Hegemony and was rushing towards the other two Universal experts without even batting an eye towards the arriving reinforcements!
