The abilities seemed to be more geared towards support as they bolstered her defense, her body occasionally releasing sharp swords of white light that were soon reflected by Noah's boisterous defense.
"The winners of the two fights seem to already be decided."
Grandmaster Onillus whispered to himself in the skies as his sharp eyes squinted, a light passing through them that nobody else would understand!
He watched as in the matches, the genius Crixus gained more and more of an edge while cornering the Special Existence, Light, who could not get through his defenses even though she held much more Fate Lines and understood 2 laws.
"This Crixus seems to be more of a genius, he hasn't even shown his Aether abilities in this match. He believes in himself to win this match and use all his abilities in the final match? Hmm…"
A look of pondering appeared on Grandmaster Onillus as he turned his gaze to the other field, where he could already see who the victor that would stand against Crixus in the final match would be.
Even as Athena brought the battle to her pace by continuously dodging the strikes of the Three-Eyed Fate Child, this was all she could do- just dodge!
Her energy and mental energies required to keep up her constant movements were soon drained as the victor on this battlefield would also soon be decided.
"The pair of disciples are about to have different results in their battles…"
Yes! In the two fields where two battles were on going and nearing their conclusions, for the disciples of Grandmaster Vredral- they were about to have very different results!
Noah was moving valiantly with numerous golden shields and hammers surrounding him, even more blades of liberation descending from the skies to portray the image of a grand being with Noble Fate, the victory of the battle soon going to him.
Athena had her armament wrapping around her as she moved around with closed eyes, showing the image of a valiant War Princess, but this War Princess would soon be overpowered by the Special Existence that was proficient in two Supreme Laws.
Two battles, but there would be different results!
OOOOH!
Those watching felt their blood boil as they were given a show of resplendent abilities, many looking forward to the last match that would give a glorious victor taking the title of Strongest Genius. This would be the victor that would obtain the named treasure, the [Luminescent Rainbow Dew] that was capable of creating a World Realm expert.
Unbeknownst to many of them, their wishes for a final battle...will never be fulfilled as something even more shocking was about to occur!
Chapter 460 - Magisterial!!!
In the clear and expansive field to the east of the Sanctum where the docile Earth Behemoths could be found, tens of thousands of beings had gathered as they watched two battles near their glorious end.
Among those in the crowd, the forces from the Dark Expanse watched with hungry eyes at the power these young genius Celestials showed, and this was especially so for the one called Crixus!
They knew Crixus to actually be on their side, so the higher he rose in the rankings and obtained valuable treasures, the better.
Malthus the Spatial Magician was standing stably as he fixated the dark pearl on his robe to continue sending the feed of the entire field in front of them to the Dark Expanse, the beings in the Mage's Tower of the Scholars Guild continuing to watch while discussing carefully.
"If this Crixus actually gains the number one ranking, it will mean he will soon be brought to the World Realm by the Celestials!"
The Grand Mage Edrusim spoke with shining eyes as he thought about gaining a World Realm powerhouse, and one that was actually raised by their enemy at that.
The 2nd Infernal Lord looked with slight interest with his gaze focused on Noah, his mind convincing himself that he found some sort of secret with this being because of the abilities he showed before.
Meanwhile, the Vampyre Ruler was looking on with a happy expression as he knew this Crixus held a Vampyre Bloodline, and he could control anyone with such a bloodline!
There were very few beings alive that held the same level of bloodline purity as him, Elena and a few others being special cases as the masses of Vampyres could be brought under his command no matter their power level, the uniqueness of bloodlines running this deep.
He himself was a Star Forging Realm Expert, an entire realm above World- so he looked forward to gaining such a genius subordinate in the future.
The beings in the Dark Expanse and those in the Celestial Realm, all of them watched the fourth round matches with rapt attention as they neared their conclusion.
The Special Existence that was known as Grandmaster Light was gradually getting more and more cornered by Noah's attacks, his relentless golden hammers and blades of liberation that moved with their own wills as well as his own attacks not giving the woman made of light even a chance to retaliate.
Her Fate Lines that towered over 200,000 were no use over the Noah that was boosted by numerous passive and active skills, each of them with their own powerful boosts that would rack up huge percentages if one were to fully count them all.
One would only have to talk about the boosts from [Child of Space], and then from the singular boosts that just one Empyrean Guard gave when they were absorbed into his body using Empyrean Armament. Just these two alone were enough to add up percentages that would shock a mathematician!
RUMBLE!
His body shone with a golden glint as he moved even fiercer against Grandmaster Light, his counterpart in the other field of battled doing the same as the Three-Eyed Fate Child increased his attacks against Athena, the War Princess not being able to keep up any longer as the attacks filled with the power of Spacetime and Fate smashed into her relentlessly.
Two beings filled with power, each of them gradually cornering two powerful beings that were giving it their all.
OOOOH!
Reverberations of power spread out as Grandmaster Light was smashed away by a convergence of blades of liberation and golden hammers, something similar occurring in the other field as the War Princess was smashed head on with an attack from the Three-Eyed Fate Child.
BOOM! BOOM!
Their two figures coincidentally flew towards each other as Athena and Light neared the borders where their respective arenas were, smashing towards the ground and forming craters not too far from each other!
Their bodies were riddled with injuries as they got up in a difficult manner from the craters, their gazes looking at their opponents who were no longer looking at them.
Noah floated in the air above Grandmaster Light as he stared into the arena where Athena and the Three-Eyed Fate Child were fighting, his gaze not even glancing towards Grandmaster Light as he stared at the being also floating in the air in front of him.
The Three-Eyed Fate Child was looking coldly at Noah, his gaze completely passing over Athena as the two victors both looked towards the opponent they would have to face in the Final Round.
One had the dark energies of Spacetime rolling around his body, wisps of golden fate lines showing every now and then as his three eyes locked forward.
The other was a winged being surrounded by rotating golden shields and hammers, enormous blades of liberation pointing themselves towards the being with three eyes as they were ready to strike at any moment.
WAAA!
Their sheer presence was shocking to see as a majestic scene of two powerhouses grandly played itself for all to see.
"These are the geniuses of this generation? Not too bad I suppose."
RUMBLE!
At this moment, an oppressive voice that seemed to be coming from all sides reverberated across the expansive area where every single being was watching the matches of the Celestials geniuses.
This voice was not just oppressive, it contained a hint of authority that made those who heard it tremble deep in their souls!
In the skies, Grandmaster Onillus heard this voice as his face immediatel
y changed, his figure shooting down from the skies as he landed on the ground and kneeled.
That's right, kneeled!
With him as the first, all the numerous Grandmasters that were on the few Prime Warsh.i.p.s surrounding the expansive arena all teleported or turned into streaks of light as they appeared on the ground, all kneeling!
The lesser ranked Celestials and Celestial Disciples looked at the behavior of the Grandmasters as they followed it themselves, their hearts feeling a sense of terror they had never felt before.
Noah was still floating in the skies as he shockingly looked around for the source of his voice when he suddenly felt an overpowering force also pulling him down, a pressure beginning to appear all around them that called out to be respected!
In the skies, an enormous figure of a mountainous Celestial Behemoth appeared, an indistinct being that was even smaller than the minute hairs of this behemoth standing powerfully atop the head. This being was indistinct, but all the beings around could make out that he was there as the oppressive and overwhelming pressure released from him.
The Celestial Behemoth shone with a golden hue, its eyes blank as it held a shining horn piercing the skies and expansive wings covering the earth. The mixture of a pegasus and a unicorn shone with splendor as its power that stood a level above the World Rank, stably at the Star Forging Realm, was completely overshadowed by the being standing on it!
The Alicorn, a Supreme Behemoth that was ridden on by a single being had arrived and cast a shadow on every single area occupied below.
The being standing atop it could be sensed by all as he arrived with a magisterial pressure, a pressure that caused all those in the skies to descend down to kneel, a pressure that accepted no other beings in the skies when he was there!
Noah's eyes looked up in shock as the image of the overwhelming being became clear on the mountainous Alicorn, the figure of someone that should have not made their appearance any time soon actually stepping into the limelight...
Chapter 461 - Magisterial!!! II
From the aura released, one would only be able to feel emotions about this being that would scream out one word- Magisterial!
It was a feeling of majesty from someone that had great accomplishments, of someone in a realm that very few could claim in the Novus Galaxy!
"Your skills are sufficient enough as the new weapons to be forged, but that is actually not what interests me more."
His voice was the only one ringing out over the expansive area of beings as they picked up another thing that caused them the feeling of terror they were experiencing.
From the voice of this being, they could feel extreme apathy, a tonation of a being that portrayed to have no emotions whatsoever as he spoke. It was akin to the way a human would speak to an ant, their hierarchy being extremely clear as one knew they could step on the other easily whenever they wished.
It was this feeling of being looked at as if they could be stepped on whenever this being wished that filled them with terror!
His image was clear in the eyes of many, his hair being a unique light gold color, his eyes as dark as night. His body was only adorned in vibrant white pants with his chest bare as one could sense the aura of wildness around him.
"What interests me are the few rats that have taken the bait to sneak into my realm, and are even bold enough to believe that I would not know about it. The geniuses shall be rewarded after these rats are taken care of."
His apathetic voice now contained a direction as his gaze turned towards the ring of tens of thousands of beings, landing in a particular location where the forces of the Dark Expanse that Malthus moved with were situated.
"The filthy aura of the Dark Expanse is strongly bouncing off of you, you know?"
"...!"
Many beings watched as the figure floated off the expansive Alicorn that covered everything in their sight, standing generously in the air as he stared towards the frozen figures of numerous beings from the Dark Expanse that had adopted horrified expressions!
Noah's main body had a reverent expression on the outside, but he was shocked at the development of events as the next ones made the situation even more drastic.
"Others may not be able to notice it, but coming from someone that has nearly mastered a Supreme Law, I must tell you that it is too obvious."
His gaze moved from Malthus as he was talking, going to the side as he stared directly at the nearby Elena that was looking upwards with a fearless expression. Her face trembled at the pressure that was directed towards them even more, but she remained fearless nonetheless!
"The most powerful Vampyre here seems to also be from the Dark Expanse? Let's see...Ah from the Underworld. Treacherous creatures as always, I shall start with you for your race's eventual extinction."
...
Shocking!
Drastic!
Fastly deteriorating!
The situation became worse and worse as this singular being, one of the Founders of the Celestials, stretched out his hands towards the forces of the Dark Expanse along with the Vampyres that Elena was surrounded with.
This also included the vampyric beasts that were the Emperor Penguin, Barbatos, and other beings from Noah's Spiritual World!
The watching Grandmasters and Celestial Geniuses from the sidelines had also woken up from their stupor as their bodies glittered in gold, their strong eyes turning towards the collection of beings pointed out by their Founder as the bright light of skills began to be cast.
Noah himself shimmered with bright light as he turned his gaze filled with hostility towards those exposed as from the Dark Expanse, but his mind was moving rapidly as he sent numerous commands to his subordinates, the backup plans he never thought would see the light of day being initiated!
Things had changed just too fast! This was not the way that he expected anything to be progressing, but he would try to adapt as fast as he could.
RUMBLE!
Essence converged as the white hand of the Founder crossed miles, nearly reaching the position of the forces of the Dark Expanse in an instant.
It was at this moment where many figures were still frozen in shock with very few even being capable of using their essence that between the forces of the Dark Expanse and the dangerous white hand, a figure of a dark-haired man appeared!
Noah's Ancient Blood Clone with a grim look and a vibrating body grandiosity appeared as he saw the palm descending down, a palm that he knew even his main body would not be able of withstanding if he was directly hit.
His mind worked rapidly as he looked at how fast the palm was approaching, and he knew that he would not even have the chance to teleport one or two of his subordinates before this palm came down and pulverized the rest!
His heart was grim as he went with the first plan that would buy him time for a second, the plan of spamming!
[Destabilize][Portals of Terror][Dawn of the Blood Lord][Blood World][Nightmarish Descent][Blood Rage][Arch Demon Lord Transformation][Lesser Cthulhu][Ancient Blood Scion][Blood Rage]...[Blood Sea]!!!
RUMBLE!
The activation of numerous skills that caused the bubbling of erupting essence akin to an exploding volcano occurred, a stupendous sight of numerous transformations taking place as a disfigured giant rapidly took form, numerous terrible portals releasing destructive elements and destabilizing space, a bloody moon appearing in the skies as a veil of blood erupted outwards, and eventually an expansive blood sea began expanding outwards!
It was an entire array of abilities cast wildly, something that no normal being would be able to do from the influx of mana that it required.
But all of these abilities were cast just to stand against a single palm!
A strong, domineering palm!
RUMBLE!
The beings around watched in shock as the white palm came in contact with the expanding sea of blood and the conflagration of a being that was bubbling within it, this single palm utterly erasing everything it came in contact with a
s the rumbling portals of terror faded into nothingness and nearly 90% of the sea of blood was wiped away in an instant.
The Founder had an apathetic face as he stared at the remainder of the intruding being, his eyes shining brightly as his voice reverberated again.
"A chimera of demons, ancients, and vampyres...with an aura of a Terror? Interesting."
He said blandly with a cold voice as Noah felt the life force of his Ancient Blood Clone being nearly depleted with one strike, even with all of the transformation abilities and even skills like [Blood Sea] that negated 50% of all physical damage, the single palm of this being that was not even acting seriously nearly taking the life of his clone!
Only a wriggling mass of flesh remained as it formed into a head and a hand!
OOOOOM!
His reformed eyes watched in slow motion as a bright light of a domain unlike anything he had ever seen before begin to release from the body of the founder, his mind moving on to another back up plan as he realized him stopping the advancement of the palm did not bring himself even a second required to take away the Emperor Penguin and others from here.
Watching the slowly expanding domain, a purple-colored dagger covered in a sheath appeared in his only reformed hand, his mind going towards the plan of reversing the situation if it had deteriorated this much already!
Chapter 462 - Inviolable!
Seeing the appearance of the dagger, the eyes of the Founder shone with more light as he felt a unique energy be released from it, this unique energy of Time going on to wrap everything around the area as the enormous Domain he was releasing began to recede into his body.
He then began moving backwards in time as the events that took place slowly reversed, time unwinding as this majestic being actually chuckled!
"Standing against me with just an item? Truly brave."
RUMBLE!
In the reversing time, his voice reverberated in Noah's ears as his main body and clone both moved in reverse along with everyone else, many of the powerful being feeling this weird sensation but not being able to do anything about it.
