Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse c1-705

by Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Game

  Shockingly, the Terror of Aether was not the only one as the two other Terrors dwelling within the Letalis Expanse also began moving at this moment, all of their intuitions screaming something indiscernible to them!

  ---

  RUMBLE!

  Noah's three bodies continued to chase towards the figure of Aldrich, each of his bodies occasionally teleporting as they tried to get their hands on a being who was utilizing all of his essence as a Grand Controller to run.

  Noah assumed that Aldrich had used his essence with the intent of speed, velocity, or something similar that allowed him to forget everything else as the figure of this Nebula Realm expert continued to slip from his hands!

  His gaze was stern as he did not know what Aldrich wanted to do, so he simply continued to give chase while utilizing his unique essence.

  |Extreme Speed| |Surpassing Light|

  SHAA!

  Streaks of light were the only things barely visible as they thundered forth even faster than light, Noah's hands flinging out as an ability was also cast!

  [Star Caller].

  RUMBLE!

  The skill of the Terror of Aether activated as multiple unstable stars hundreds of miles in size began to appear in front of Aldrich, the Founder expertly avoiding them as his golden figure even smashed through one!

  Skill after skill was used, but Aldrich continued to use his essence only for running as they soon neared the extremely thick boundary of the Novus Galaxy.

  The boundary was among the thickest that Noah had ever seen so far, being tens of miles wide as it adopted a shimmering black color.

  It was a barrier that seemed to blend in with the space around it, being extremely thick yet thin at the same time as only those at the level of Controllers could discern it or even do anything when it came to this barrier.

  Having the identity of a Grand Controller allowed a being to be able to leave their galaxy and actually survive while traveling outside of it, so Noah moved even faster as his three bodies tried to grasp onto Aldrich before he came in contact with this barrier!

  RUMBLE!

  A golden light began to emulate from the body of the Celestial Founder at this moment as it seemed his power was rising even higher, Noah's senses shocked to find that Aldrich had without a second thought actually began burning his very Origin as a source of strength.

  THUMP!

  His hands reached the thick barrier at this moment as his enormous 100 miles incarnation holding three faces turned towards Noah, its body ballooning up as a small figure blazing in gold light came out from within!

  Aldrich appeared in his human figure as his right hand lay on the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, his left hand pushing out the incarnation he had been in as it transformed into a thick golden barrier that covered Aldrich and the portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy he was in contact with. Noah was already near as he used his essence while forming an intent.

  '|Break|!'

  BOOM!

  Noah's Trident of the Sea instantly smashed onto the golden barrier Alrich laid out as trembles spread across it, the power Aldrich was releasing right now as he burned his very Origin being extremely fearsome!

  This was the burning of an Origin that was first at the Nebula Realm, and also of a being holding the title of Grand Controller! Noah had no doubt that Aldrich would have been able to heavily injure him if he directed attacks while burning his origin like this, but this Founder had actually chosen to run away as he came in contact with the barrier of the Novus Galaxy!

  "Remember that it was you that pushed me to do this. That it was your own fault things ended like this!"

  Aldrich's voice came out at this moment as it contained a mixture of sadness and extreme lunacy, his eyes shaking brightly as he pushed all of his power towards his hands while uttering a single intent.

  "|SHATTER|"

  RUMBLE!

  …!

  "What?!"

  Noah looked towards the figure of Aldrich incredulously as this being was not actually trying to pierce through the veil and leave the Novus Galaxy, but was doing something far sinister as he apparently planned to shatter the portion of the boundary of the Novus Galaxy he was in contact with!

  But...what would this accomplish?

  Noah did not know what the aim of Aldrich was as he did this, but he utilized his immense mana reserves as he laid out his own intents while trying to break through the golden barrier of a Grand Controller that was burning his very Origin.

  |Ultimate Penetration|! |Shatter|!

  RUMBLE!

  Enormous units of mana were absorbed in order to utilize his essence as a Grand Controller to make possible what his intent wanted, the Trident of the Sea shining with a piercing light as it smashed into Aldrich's golden barrier again, but Noah was actually able to hear the shattering of two barriers at this moment.

  CRACK! CRACK!

  One was the golden barrier he broke that Aldrich had set up, the other was the portion of the miles-long barrier that represented the boundary of the Novus Galaxy, where he could now see a portion of the barrier multiple miles long and in an octagonal shape...was actually shattered!

  …!!!

  Chapter 590 - The Bell Has Been Rung! II

  At the very precipice of the Novus Galaxy, in the corner of the Letalis Expanse where only Controllers could discern an area where the bounds of this Galaxy passed, two figures were staring at a broken space.

  "Haha! Haha!"

  Wild laughter that reeked of madness flowed out from the one responsible as the area that he had destroyed vibrated intensely!

  VOOOM!

  An extremely strong absorbing force leaked out from the portion where Aldrich had broken the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, Noah's essence forming into tendrils of Aether and reaching out as it grabbed around Aldrich who was about to get sucked in through the octagonal shattered space.

  "Haha! Do not blame me!"

  Wrathful and incoherent laughter was all that came from Aldrich at this moment as his body seemed nearly depleted of essence after stopping Noah's advance and shattering a portion of a barrier of an entire Galaxy.

  Noah looked towards the shattered octagonal space as what he saw behind it was truly terrifying, his awareness barely being able to spread out a few meters as all he saw was immense blackness!

  The space immediately outside the bounds of the Novus Galaxy was terrifyingly empty and black!

  "What did you do? What purpose does this serve?!"

  Noah's voice rang out coldly towards Aldrich as the Founder currently had his arms and legs stretched out in four directions, the force from the void outside the Novus Galaxy threatening to swallow him whole and rip him apart the moment that Noah released him.

  Aldrich did not nearly have enough essence that would allow him to actually utilize the abilities of a Grand Controller to traverse outside of it, yet Noah observed as this being actually continued to laugh with no fear, his gaze actually looking towards him mockingly!

  "Haha! You do not know? I thought as the main puppet, you would know everything that was happening!"

  RUMBLE!

  Foreboding words were the only thing coming from Aldrich as Noah tugged at his essence, the tendrils of Aether that were holding Aldrich in place bringing him closer as Noah observed the wide-open octagonal shattered space.

  There seemed to be a greater meaning to Aldrich's actions that Noah had not grasped yet, so he brought the figure of the Founder close to him until he landed on his palm, his enormous figure that was still over a hundred miles looking down with shining red eyes as his two clones flanked his left and right.

  "What did you do?"

  "I did the only thing I could when cornered to such a state, I called for the destruction of the enemy I could not defeat!"

  Aldrich's reply came in between his maddened laughs, his words continuing as his image completely lost all dignity and he looked more and more like a raving lunatic.

  "The destruction of my home...haha!
A fitting end for the enemy that raised me up and then threw me away like nothing!"

  Shocking words of destruction released from the Founder as Noah's eyes squinted, his gaze turning murderous as the palm he had Alrich on began closing.

  "Haha! It is too late now! Even a puppet like you will not be able to stop it!"

  Noah was prepared to stop listening as he wanted to simply eradicate Aldrich right away, absorbing his memories as he simply learned what the meaning of this creature's actions were.

  "The bell has been rung!"

  RUMBLE!

  More raving screams left Aldrich even as he saw the enormous palm about to crush him, his words only repeating again.

  "The bell has been rung, and they are coming! Haha! Haha!!!"

  …!

  Noah's intuition became more and more foreboding with every passing word as he prepared to crush Aldrich, when he instantly felt the nearing of three terrifyingly powerful auras that he had sensed from a very far away region not too long ago.

  RUMBLE!

  The unique signatures of Terrors neared as Noah only heard a space-shattering yell.

  "YOU FOOLS!"

  RUMBLE!

  Two enormous red stars for eyes, massing coiling and moving tentacles that occupied hundreds of miles.

  The Terror of Aether was at the forefront as he arrived while staring at the figure of Noah and his clones, as well as the raving lunatic of a being grasped within the palm of Noah's main body and about to be crushed.

  Its enormous eyes then locked on the shattered octagonal area that represented the boundary of the Novus Galaxy as its body shook, the terrifying power of the Terror exploding out wildly as he spoke once more!

  "You fools! Do you know what you have done?!"

  RUMBLE!

  "Haha!"

  The only answer was the wild laughter of a particular Founder as the auras of two other Terrors made themselves visible, creating for a suffocating atmosphere that would have simply destroyed the origins of any weaker beings were they in the surroundings.

  One was a being coming a bit over 1000 miles, his figure humanoid in nature as his body seemed to be made of extremely bright black crystals, even his eyes densely black as he released a cold air!

  The Terror of the Void had appeared as his eyes coldly glanced at Noah and the small raving figure of Aldrich within his hands.

  RUMBLE!

  On another side, the third terror actually had a shape that Noah had seen before, a shape of the ancients that he could normally summon with the skills of the Blood Lord!

  Also claiming a unique humanoid appearance with horns rising from its head as its head was filled with shimmering grey hair, this was the Ancient Terror that had actually borne the Ancient Races of the Letalis Expanse!

  All three Terrors were looking towards Noah and then the figure of Alrich with extreme wrath in their eyes as they understood what the image of an octagonal broken area in the barrier of the Novus Galaxy represented.

  "Haha, the other puppets are here as well. Very good, all of you can simply wait in helplessness before you-"

  CRUNCH!

  Noah's patience had run completely thin as he folded his palm entirely, destructive Aether rolling out as the Founder of Celestial perished as simply as if one crushed a bug.

  A radiance of red erupted out as Noah absorbed the memories of this creature, having deactivated [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] at this point as he chose not to obtain Skill Points but instead obtain all the Cores and loot of the only Nebula Rank being he had killed in the Novus Galaxy, as they would allow him to make a greater advancement into the next realm!

  Even the appearance of three powerful Terrors did not deter him as he read the many memories of Aldrich, wanting to know exactly what was the full meaning behind his actions? What had the breaking of a portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy done?

  The full answer was something horrendous, and also the reason for the wrath that the Terrors felt!

  Chapter 591 - A Signal!

  Memories are a curious thing.

  One can look fondly when going through memories of the past, or one can even try to forget them depending on what they contain. But when it came to stealing the memories of someone else, when it came to absorbing the memories of a being who had lived for close to two millennia...one could not even begin to describe such an experience!

  While being surrounded by three wrathful Terrors, Noah had crushed Aldrich within his palm as he began absorbing all of his memories, giving this task to his two clones as his attention focused on the powerful entities that surrounded him while also trying to focus on memories pertaining to Aldrich's goals and what exactly was the full meaning of his actions just now.

  "Foolish! Foolish! Foolish!"

  RUMBLE!

  The body of the Terror of Aether, Cthulhu, moved closer as its eyes focused on the octagonal broken area on the boundary of the Novus Galaxy. An oppressive force continued to leak outwards into an extremely black void that nobody but Grand Controllers could be able to survive in as the gaze of this Terror turned towards Noah's three bodies.

  "Based on your essence signature, you should have stopped something like this from ever happening! What made you so useless?!"

  The voice was wrathful as the body of Cthulhu continued coming ever closer, Noah feeling the intent of this Terror to push him away from the area of the shattered boundary as he did not resist, his mind having already located the most important and most pertaining memories of the current situation from the dead Aldrich as he sifted through shocking information!

  Cthulhu came towards the shattered area of the boundary as his tentacles landed on the areas around it, a unique energy beginning to leave his body as his voice of wrath continued to come out.

  "Such a thing...such a thing should not have been possible…"

  Mysterious words were uttered as the other two Terrors came close, glancing towards Noah closely as a unique energy also released from them to go towards the shattered space, Noah observing that the miles-long shattered area was slowly beginning to reform at this moment!

  "Unless…"

  Words of hesitation leaked out of the Terror of Aether as his body began to shake while affirming its thoughts and observing the state of the shattered area, his enormous red star-sized eyes trembling as the wrath within them only became more potent, the voice he released only becoming grander!

  "You allowed for this!"

  RUMBLE!

  His voice rang out clearly as it had an accusatory tone, the other two Terrors opening their eyes as understanding registered into them as well, the gazes of all these three powerful Terrors at the level of Controllers turning towards the direction that Noah and Aldrich had come from- each of them were glancing towards the Central Realm while the Terror of Aether released accusatory words!

  "It was you! You allowed for this to happen! You would have sensed the moment the thoughts of that creature were aiming to harm you like this, and you would have sent us to stop him long before! You allowed for the barrier to be breached!"

  WAA!

  Shocking words were released from the booming mouth of the Terror of Aether as he actually looked towards the Central Realm while releasing words that seemed to be filled with pain and sorrow, and Noah would have not been able to understand their full meaning had he not just grasped the memories of Aldrich that pertained to this.

  "That creature should not have even had the knowledge to do this unless you granted it to him! So why!"

  Even more mysterious and shocking words left Cthulhu as the energy that he and the other two Terrors released went to reform the shattered portion of the barrier even faster.

  Noah's own thoughts had turned chaotic as he actually grasped the full picture, being able to understand exactly what Aldrich had done and the significance such a thing had!

  When Aldrich saw that he could not win the battle against him, his unwillingness and unfairness he felt for not being able to get h
is hands on the only thing he wanted drove his maddened mind towards one thing, and it was the thing he was screaming about- mutual destruction!

  If he could not have what he believed to be the biggest treasures in the Novus Galaxy and he was about to fall under the hands of a being that had not even appeared before just a few months ago, he might as well perish along with the enemy that prevented him from achieving anything.

  With this thought, Aldrich actually chose to go towards the bounds of the Novus Galaxy where a barrier that only Grand Controllers could affect existed, a barrier where one could pass through as they left behind their Galaxy to explore the wide Universe!

  But his goal was not to simply pass through this barrier, but to shatter a portion of it as he did something no inhabitant of a Galaxy would ever do, but it was the only way he saw of causing the destruction of his enemy- the Novus Galaxy itself. Aldrich chose to shatter the barrier because it was the only way to invite beings stronger than him into this galaxy, it was the only way to release a signal to powerful entities in the outside Universe that a Galaxy still in its beginning stages existed in this area of space!

  Aldrich's action of shattering the small portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy was simply that- a way to send out a signal to the outside Universe.

  A way to invite unknown dangers towards the Novus Galaxy that had always been unknown and undiscovered this entire time!

  This was why he had been screaming that the bell had been rung. That they were coming.

  A native had actually sent a signal that invited the destruction of his own Galaxy!

  Chapter 592 - Why?!

  As Noah sifted through the memories, he also understood why the words of the Terrors were accusatory as they looked back towards the direction where he had expelled Aldrich from the Central Realm. These Terrors were glancing towards the location where the entity that could represent the Novus Galaxy resided as they accused this entity of actually calling for destruction itself!

  The Terror of Aether had screamed that the creature known as Aldrich should have never had the knowledge that the capabilities of a Grand Controller would be able to shatter a portion of the barrier of their galaxy, nor should Aldrich had known what doing such an action represented.
