From the wrathful eyes of the three Grandmasters, one could see a tinge of fear appearing as they fully realized the pace of the battle as the momentum of the Infernal Lord in front of them just continued to shoot higher, a single thought crossing their minds that began to only expedite the fear!
'Are we...are we actually going to lose?'
…!!!
Chapter 489 Overkill I
The watchers that were observing this first battle of a long war actually watched on in stunned silence at the scenes playing themselves out in front of their eyes.
Some portions of the battlefield could be considered what one should normally expect in a war, with beings of opposing but similar levels of power fighting against each other until the other side came out on top.
Yet on other portions of the battlefield, the things they were seeing were enough to shatter any known norms!
In one area, an Infernal Legion was cutting down any beings they came across as they sang a symphony of destruction with every swing of their weapons, their path paved wide open with nobody from the Celestial Legion to stop them as shockingly, the last World Rank Celestial Grandmaster was actually being held back in a tight battle against multiple Domain Rank armored beings!
RAA! RAA! RAA!
An Emperor Penguin valiantly took the strikes that held behind them the force of an entire World as he retaliated, his body shimmering with the dark aura of the Chaos Item Set while a Chaos Storm raged around him.
It was tinged with wisps of gold as the immense aura of Pride also leaked out, the abilities of the Sin of Pride being put in full display as his very being was amplified to greater heights because he stood against an enemy a level higher than him!
Kazuhiko and the other Harbingers used the gaps created by the Emperor Penguin to land terrible attacks as those who adorned the Fate Chaos Sets, in particular, were using the Set Boost to build up Fate Charges, and allowing for the appearance of numerous blades of liberation that should have been colored gold, but they held a mix of darkness as the abundant chaos essence they had from the Dark Guider ability freely flowed to their attacks.
The World Rank Expert had no chance to slack off as he withstood attacks left and right, but this wasn't the most shocking scene that was occurring across this battlefield!
The ongoing battle of an enormous Infernal Lord that towered over 250 meters, his body clad in an armor releasing wisps of chaos as well as the emission of baleful Aether- it was the battle with this single being at the center that took all the attention as he wildly fought against 3 beings at the same realm as him.
WAA!
The enormous trident he wielded smashed down towards the central figure of Onillus as the Grandmaster released Fate Essence to form into the shape of huge golden palms, his Fate Lines rumbling as the two palms grasped onto and stopped the descent of the vibrating weapon!
The other Grandmaster tried to use this chance to send out deadly attacks, but they seemed to simply be getting brushed off on the body of the mountainous figure as the numerous layers of armor he had on did almost all of the defending on his behalf.
The eyes of the Grandmasters held a tinge of unwilling fear as they knew what all of the far away watching forces knew as the battle continued- the three of them were actually on the path of a terrible defeat!
The Infernal Lord in front of them seemed to be jumping with boundless energy, his attacks relentless as he released one after another without any reservations. While on their side, their defenses were getting weaker and weaker as the abundant energy in their bodies was actually becoming depleted.
This meant that in the next few minutes, they would begin falling one by one if nothing changed!
Onillus knew this very well as his eyes battled the fear out to try and replace it with fury, his unwilling voice resounding out as his body began to burn a brilliant and even brighter gold color.
"Burn your Soul!"
"...!"
Unwilling looks appeared on the faces of the other two Grandmasters at these words, but they seemed to have no choice as they went to the only option that could provide them a possible victory- but at the cost of their burning their very Origins and heavily reducing their level of power permanently!
"Burn the Soul!"
"Ignite your Origin!"
RUMBLE!
They adopted valiant faces as the strong aura of fate descended towards them, their power beginning to rise rapidly as they prepared to release attacks more powerful than any they had been releasing in the past hour.
But would they really be given a chance?
For the first time ever, Noah had a cruel smile as he drenched himself in the aura of Chaos and baleful Aether, enjoying the all-around feeling of power as he went on to cast only 2 skills that would go on to figuratively cause the jaws of all those watching to drop to the floor.
The 2 skills were actually Unique Skills, ones that he had gained months ago when battling against the Demon Lords and Demon Kings of a now subjugated world.
He had not put them to much use in the past months as he had designated them to the constructed dungeons of his homeworld, their uses being further limited as they truly only worked best when he was battling enemies at the same realm as him. But any time in the past few months, he had always faced enemies that were a realm or two higher, the effectiveness of the two unique skills not being able to add much as he left them to continue their assigned tasks in his home world.
But now that he was at the World Rank, a rank that only true experts in the Novus Galaxy could enjoy, he saw himself putting these skills to use more and more in the future as he continued to test their effectiveness as well as their limitations!
RUMBLE!
Essence wildly erupted as his lips silently moved, the energy that the three Celestial Grandmasters were collecting being blown apart as around them, the figures of oppressively powerful beings were summoned with ease!
Two were large and fearsome, their bodies reeking of darkness as their eyes shone red, and three were actually fairly small and had curvaceous figures with their bodies palpating with wicked strength.
The jaws of many beings figuratively dropped to the floor with the appearance of these five figures as each of them...held the power of the World Realm!
What followed thereafter...was simply overkill!
Chapter 490 Overkill II
Overkill!
Overkill to an insane degree as with the appearance of 5 new World Rank Experts, all color drained from the faces of the Celestial Grandmasters.
The ones that were in their own battles against the Experts of the Verittas Fortress or the single World Rank Celestial that was actually in a sorry state while being matched against an arrogant Emperor Penguin and other armored beasts- none of them could provide any help and support as they watched on helplessly!
This was because the worlds were many, the Novus Galaxy being extremely wide. So many beings knew that many skills existed all around, but even they had not yet come across the abilities that this Infernal Lord portrayed, especially ones that allowed him to simply summon 5 combatants at the World Realm.
Many were first asking themselves, what kind of an ability was that? But the most important question to them was the natural universal law that required essence in exchange for abilities, so they knew that logically to somehow summon creatures at the level of the World Realm, the mana requirement was enormous! How could this being that was already releasing skills as freely as he could over the past hour still be able to do something as ridiculous as this?!
As the shock of those watching only increased, the beings in the actual predicament were trembling as the 5 summoned creatures at the World Rank released attacks towards them right away.
Noah himself did not relent as he went for a joined attack that would obliterate the three Grandmasters instantly, his eyes glistening as destructive Portals of Terror began to appear en masse in a circular fashion around their figures. This was on top of the rays of Dar
k Aether that were also thundering down, ready to chain between the bodies of the three Grandmasters as many times as they could!
Many beings watched the unfolding of all of these skills as if they were in slow motion, the other fighting Celestials trying to make their way over to the position of the Infernal Lord, but they were kept at bay by their enemies so they could only watch!
BOOOOM!!!
A space rending cry erupted out as the eardrums of any nearby beings burst, the weaker ones dying from the impact right away as their brains turned to mush.
"..."
Silence reigned in the battlefield as the surrounding miles around the Infernal Lord were eerily quiet. A mountainous Infernal Lord of over 250 meters floated in space, surrounded by two Abyss Phoenixes and 3 World Rank Witch Slaves. In the mile around them, only the bloodied and lifeless bodies of numerous beings floated in the void of space.
"..."
The silence continued as the destructive energies around them cleared, the scene of where the three World Grandmaster used to be opening itself to the eyes of many as a horrendous sight played out. Portions of dismembered body parts could be seen in a gory show of blood and bones, the only thing remotely recognizable remaining being the disfigured body of Grandmaster Onillus.
He had lost half of his body as one could notice distinct golden lines of fate trying to recreate the other half unsuccessfully, his bloody mouth where a few teeth remained moving in an incoherent fashion as only the nearest being, Noah, could hear what he was saying.
"...my name...was going to spread across the...Novus Galaxy."
Noah's eyes coldly glanced at the World Rank Grandmaster that had appeared in the skies of the Celestial Realm not even two weeks ago. He was a whole realm higher than him then, with his strength seeming oppressive and out of reach. Yet this same being was lying disfigured in the void of space just a few days later, the time of his death nearing, and by his hands at that!
"I- I read the flow of fate...it is not supposed to go this way…"
The words seemed to be coming from a being that had his soul taken away, seeming devoid of any feeling and emotion as they just felt like ramblings. Noah looked forth as his eyes turned bright red, casting the wondrous ability of [Domination] on this heavily injured being as he spoke out.
"Your name will not be remembered, and things rarely go the way we plan. You can die knowing you achieved nothing."
The light of Domination erupted out as it reflected on Onillus's dead eyes, his muscles spasming as they calmed down completely thereafter, his soul completely being dominated!
Noah's eyes then shone once more as he gave a command, the body of the World Rank Celestial Grandmaster exploding in a shower of blood that soon flowed towards him enticingly!
Celestials and those from the Dark Expanse alike watched in shock and horror as in a matter of minutes, three World Rank Experts were completely decimated, all that remained of them being bits of blood and bones.
…!
Chapter 491 A Grand Symphony of Chaos I
The death of three World Rank Experts all at once carried a heavy toll for the Celestial Legion, the eerie silence continuing for a few seconds before they all saw the body of the Infernal Lord...actually vibrating as it began to release an even more fearsome aura of power.
Incredulous looks appeared on Commanding Mage Turner and on the expressions of many of the beings of the battlefield, their faces simply carrying sheer disbelief and confusion at this point!
What they didn't know was that the burst of power from Noah was coming from the fact that he was at this moment gaining hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines all at once from the deaths of the three World Rank Celestial Grandmasters!
This immense flow of strength that was given as comprehension of a Supreme Law made his already fearsome power feel even more oppressive, as the number he was gaining all at once was simply too much.
From Onillus alone, he was a being that held 3,505,800 Fate Lines. 12% of this was 420,696.
420,696 Fate Lines from Onillus alone!
The other two Grandmasters had Fate Lines ranging slightly above 2 million, each of them giving Noah around 300,000 Fate Lines. This was an addition of more than 1 million Fate Lines instantly, increasing the percentage next to the Law of Fate by another 10% as it now stood at 28%!!!
And this was only mentioning the benefits in the Law of Fate. There were also the invisible streams of light that was the loot from the bodies of the three World Rank beings that shot forth into Noah's [Expansive Space] right away, granting him numerous World Rank Cores and techniques of the same realm. There was also the disorder caused by the death of these three beings bringing their own bursts of chaos as numerous Chaos Particles were converging towards Noah senselessly.
OOOOH!
The eerie silence everyone was enthralled in was broken as the Infernal Legion felt the grand movement of chaos energies, their bodies calling forth for more destruction as they resumed their slaughter!
"Ready to Serve!" "Ready to Destroy!"
RUMBLE!
Everyone was soon returned to the foray of the battlefield as the forces of the Celestial Legion were now fighting disorderly, the loss of three Grandmasters being horrendous.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
The Emperor Penguin moved with even more vigor when he saw his Master had taken down 3 World Rank Experts, his only thoughts at the moment being,
'Am I so weak that I cannot kill even one?!'
RAA!
His attacks became more relentless as the other Harbingers piled on with even more vigor, the four remaining Celestial Grandmasters finding themselves in tight battles as their hearts were now filled with terror!
This was because they knew that the single Infernal Lord who had taken down three of them was now free and alone on the battle field.
This meant...he would be moving to choose his next targets soon, and this act would hit the nail in the coffin for this battle!
It was even more horrendous as ridiculously, there were 5 figures at the World Rank standing protectively around the Infernal Lord who at this moment...raised his head as his eyes shone a splendor of deep red.
His body felt vigorous and coursing with strength, the feeling of nearing the 50% mark of a Supreme Law, even if 22% remained to get there, made him tremble with excitement as his eyes scanned the battlefield.
He saw the figures of fighting Harbingers, the Dark Wizard Shanora, Commanding Mage Turner, and even the Royal Vampyre Rokku. All of them were fighting their own battles as Noah had already finished his!
His eyes then turned to the scrambling remaining forces of Celestials that were near their Prime Warships, some of them already rushing towards them as fear had overcome them and they wanted to run.
His lips curled up in a smile as he did not want to let any loot escape his grasp, the cruel thought he had causing his body to teleport right away towards the Prime Warships that could destroy Worlds while sending commands to the Primal Spirits and Witch Slaves to go to different directions!
The fearfully scrambling figures of Celestials rushing to their Warships felt the descent of the overpowering aura as space instantly became destabilized, chaos beginning to rain down as a grand symphony of chaos continued!
The forces from the numerous Prime World watched on helplessly as even the beings that had taken them from their homes to fight were trying to flee, yet what could they do?
Defectors had already started to appear as they laid down their weapons when faced by the tens of thousands of forces from the Dark Expanse, with others being unlucky as those that were against the Infernal Legion or the terrible dragon Draco were cut down no matter if they were holding weapons or not!
This was a war, and war...War never changes!
It was a scene of carnage that one could call cruel, but it caused the battlefield to become even more bloody as in one region, another Grandmaster was about to fall.
The World Rank Expert surrounded by an arrogan
t Emperor Penguin and other armored figures had expended nearly all of his energy, his expression that of hopelessness as the battle was nearing its end the moment a World Rank Witch Slave began to head his way!
He began burning his Soul unwillingly for more strength, but this was the time when tens of Blades of Liberation from the Fate Item Sets that Kazuhiko and the others wore rushed down, as well as blinding suns from the Emperor Penguin, and numerous other final attacks raining down as the Harbingers wanted to finish the battle before the aid of their Master could even arrive.
BOOM!
The life of another World Rank Celestial Grandmaster was ended as the loot from him was distributed in rapid forms of light that shot into the bodies of those that had been attacking him, the ones dealing the most damage receiving Skill Books of the World Rank as well as Cores of the same level!
RAAA!
A victorious cry emerged from a particular Emperor Penguin as it spread across the void of space and acted like the sound of the horn of the end for the Celestial Legion!
Chapter 492 A Grand Symphony of Chaos II
The Founder was still calmly enjoying exquisite meats that came from the bodies of Supreme Behemoths while he sat alone in the expansive golden hall atop a regal chair.
As he saw the chaotic scenes of the battle where three World Rank Celestial Grandmasters had just lost their lives, all he did was pause briefly before bringing another piece of a glistening thigh towards his mouth, his mouth slowly moving in a soliloquy thereafter!
"I see. So that's what that feeling was all about."
His gaze was as apathetic as ever as he nodded, his eyes shining gold as they focused on the figure of the Infernal Lord that was now going around destroying the Prime Warships and any of those that wanted to board them, the eyes of the Founder also focusing on the figures of World Rank beings summoned by the Infernal Lord as the golden light only became brighter.
