Chapter 572: Aldrich?!
The eyes of Noah's three bodies each locked on one of the three remaining Celestial Star Forgers as he began shooting towards them!
Those on the battlefield saw the rapid movement of the two monstrous star sized tentacular creatures, as well as a single golden shining figure on a much smaller scale all begin to head towards three panicking Celestials Commanders.
Those targeted also felt the threat of death as they tried to leave behind the enemies they faced and escape, their essence burning freely as they tried to pierce through the defenses of the enemy commanders and escape!
But would such a chance be given to them?
The answer was no!
Among his three bodies, his second clone was within reach of the enemy Celestial Commander within seconds as he teleported multiple times to near the spatial coordinates. This process was much slower for the enormous Aether Star Form that his main body and first clone were adopting, their enormous bodies rumbling with power as the star sized life forms pushed aside any nearby beings with an overpowering gravitational force while barreling towards their respective targets.
WAA!
It was a scene of grandeur and shock a one could distinctly observe a star flapping its golden wings and streaking forward, any beings in its path repulsed out as they uncontrollably moved across the void of space.
The commanders of Verittas Fortress saw these humongous forms barreling towards them as even they quickly pulled back, not even wanting to be near the monstrosity that was now targeting the three Celestial Star Forging Commanders they were just fighting.
In the distance, Athena's bloody hammer smashed into another Celestial as she carried out the command she was given while reflecting on the ongoing situation, her mind rapidly trying to make sense of the unfolding situation as time passed.
At this moment, she knew that somehow, Crixus and the 9th Infernal Lord were one and the same, this truth causing her to throw away any previous possibilities she had in place as this one was too outlandish to even imagine!
The 9th Infernal Lord that she had looked at before and even had the goal of defeating...the being that had currently cut down 5 of some of the most powerful beings in the Novus Galaxy as if they were chickens- this was the same being that played the role of her Junior Brother.
As she looked at the enormous masses of star sized abominations, she wondered whether there was really a possibility to attain true and actual order with the power this being displayed!
This question was yet to be answered as the situation continued to unfold in an even crazier fashion.
Noah's second clone that had reached the already worn down Celestial Star Forging Commander released a small area of Authority under the law of fate as pure fate essence overflowed within his body, his hands layering this with the essence of chaos as he formed a terrifyingly dense blade of pure chaos and fate essence that streaked towards his target!
SHLUCK!
The defenses of this worn-out commander were shredded instantly as the blade made of pure fate and chaos essence pierced through, his clone utilizing [Masterful Aether Control] as he released Aether to completely shred apart this enemy.
His eyes shone with light as he saw the addition of hundreds of thousands more Fate Lines, his stat panel showing this number rising up and changing constantly!
Next up, the first of his enormous Aether Star Forms to reach another Star Forging Commander was the one that had golden wings of light erupting out. The many tentacles of this Aether of Terror struck out as they deflected all the coming attacks from the frantic Celestial, enormous tentacles beginning to wrap around and constrict the being thereafter as Noah deployed multiple portals of terror within the confined space to further rupture the defenses of his enemy.
RUMBLE!
Star shaking might erupted out as yet another figure was defeated, many beings looking at this as they had long since gone past shock and were simply numb at this point.
The being causing all of this shock was currently feeling even more ecstatic as with the death of this 7th Celestial Star Forger, he actually gained another half a million Fate Lines from this being that had slightly over 4 million in total themselves, and this number pushed his own Fate Lines over 9 million!
Over 90% in the law of Fate!
The more shocking thing was how this had occurred in just a single battle, with him actually jumping from slightly over 50% and now proudly standing over 90%!
He could feel his connected heartbeats as he focused on the last remaining Celestial Star Forger that was trying his best to escape, the figure of his first clone in the Aether Star Form finally reaching him as the abundant tentacles reached out towards the Celestial.
With the defeat of this remaining Celestial Star Forger, he would be just a few hundred thousand Fate Lines away from completely comprehending a Universal Law, and a Supreme One at that!
The baleful tentacles filled with Aether thundered forth to clasp onto this Celestial, Noah already feeling this being falling into his hands when suddenly, there was a flash of gold.
Yes! Just a simple and pure flash of gold.
SHAA!
But this flash of gold arrived with an immensely powerful and domineering aura, an aura that overwhelmed any beings currently on the battlefield!
It was an aura filled with a shining light of coldness, a light that seemed to be filled with madness.
This single appearance of light thundered down in a dramatic fashion as it brought with it golden discs of light that were tens of miles in diameter, these discs multiplying numerous times as they easily went through the baleful tentacles of Noah's Aether Star Form clone, the tentacles never reached their intended target!
...!
SAA! SAA! SAA!
Like a knife passing through butter, these enormous gold discs of light miles long in diameter appeared to surround the over 200 miles long Young Cthulhu, descending unto him in but an instant as they shredded through all defenses as if they did not exist! These powerful discs of light were filled with an intense power and Authority, power at the level that Noah's clone currently had not reached as they dug into the enormous body and shredded it apart like nothing.
BOOM!
These sharply spinning golden discs actually located the core of the clone instantly, their domineering light crushing everything around it as Noah's first clone became a cut mass of tentacles, the entire body exploding into a shower of blood thereafter!
...
Silence reigned in the surrounding space as it was not shock or horror that many beings felt at this moment...just simply blankness.
WAA!
A moment later, the sharp golden discs disappeared as light particles came together and formed into the shape of a single man.
He appeared in front of the Celestial Star Forging Commander that was trying to run away from Noah's first clone, his appearance taking the eyes of every being on the battlefield.
Hair that seemed to be a mixture of white and gold. Eyes that shone with a powerful light of genius and madness which drew everything in. An expression that was normally calm and peaceful, yet currently it seemed to contain boundless wrath as it stared at Noah's main body far in the distance!
RUMBLE!
A domineering air that caused the origins of many beings to tremble spread out across the silent battlefield as the Founder of the Celestials, Aldrich- unexpectedly and shockingly made his appearance for the first time since the beginning of the Last War.
His first action was a single attack that utterly decimated a creature that had seemed immensely strong to all those watching the previous battle, a clone of Noah's being taken out the moment that Aldrich arrived!
His eyes that actually shone with a light of wrath focused on a single figure as the dynamic of the Last War were forever changed, entering into a stage nobody had expected!
