In between this spam of suns, stars, and Aether rays were the hidden and the even more deadly Swords of Judgment, and the moment that a Portal of Terror exploded and caused a destabilization in the surrounding space, Noah used this chance to lay out a finishing strike!
Hidden amongst the destabilized space and baleful Aether, over 10 Swords of Judgment suddenly bloomed from a hidden branch as their tips reached the Fiend Ruler in an instant .
SHIING!
A grating sound of multiple illusory swords meant to only hurt the soul did just that . . . and they did so in an utterly stellar fashion as the Fiend let out a bellowing last cry, his head pointing up as his eyes blazed a golden light before they died down, the immense QUASAR within his origin coming to rest!
" . . . "
Dead! Dead! He was actually dead!
Silence permeated the battle field as even those in close combat came to a stop .
They looked at the scene of the Fiend Ruler floating listlessly in the starry space with disbelief as they did not even know how to react .
From the hands of someone that had just entered the Realm of Black Hole, a QUASAR ranked expert had fallen!
Many looked at this scene as they wanted to scream impossible, as they wanted to say it was improbable .
Not even the Stellar Ruler who was fighting another QUASAR Realm expert had been able to take him down . Nobody else on the battlefield had as many kills as him .
Yet he…
Did he have to be so outrageous?!
Chapter 681
How could it be so!
This was the thought crossing the minds of many, but it was the singular thought in the mind of the Fiend Ruler as he watched with disbelief as someone with the same rank as him had been killed .
OOOOH!
He bellowed out with rage and unwillingness as a command left his mouth soon after .
"Fight! Fight with all your strength! For the Great Master!"
He bellowed out the words as his command shook the hearts of the remaining Fiends, but they steeled them and followed as they rushed towards Yggdrasil that was still surrounded by many protectors like moths to a flame .
The Fiend Ruler knew that their Master would not accept such a failure, especially since their mission was much more important since it involved finding the treasure that their Master wanted .
If they could not get it, it was better to die here than to face the wrath and disappointment of their Master!
RUMBLE!
Fiends dashed down even though the state of the battle had become unfavorable to them, the Fiend Ruler raining down attacks towards the Stellar Ruler with even more vigor .
Meanwhile, near the Ancient Primeval Tree, Noah had just taken in the body of the dead Fiend Ruler as he saved the cores, a glistening QUASAR Ranked Skill Book, and then he watched the Skill Points shoot up by another few thousands while a red glow passing over the dead body of the fiend as he read through its memories!
Eyes of Truth told him a lot about the beings he came across, but nothing could compare to living the memories of the being themselves .
As he began to quickly process thousands of years worth of memories, his roots wriggled in the starry sky as his enormous body rumbled, the Manifested multicolored Black Hole rotating with immense power as he moved rapidly towards the other Fiend Ruler!
The movement of this mountainous form took many by surprise as the fiends on the way had a multitude of branches wrap around them, deadly swords piercing through them as the remaining QUASAR rank Fiend felt the presence nearing .
The look of the face of this Fiend Ruler was that of someone who had accepted death, and he did so in a stellar fashion as when he saw Yggdrasil nearing, he stopped attacking the Stellar Ruler and brought his arms to the side!
The Stellar Ruler looked at this as he used the opportunity to quickly land a deadly strike, but before he could even reach the Fiend, his fist stopped an inch away from him as an enormous force was beginning to erupt out .
When he felt this force, the Stellar Ruler turned ashen as he instantly turned around and ran in the other direction while screaming!
"Spread out! As far away from here as possible! He is imploding his Quasar!"
Shocking words left his mouth as many beings scrambled away, the Fiend Ruler that had accepted death for its failure actually choosing to go out with a bang, and it was in a stellar fashion at that .
At high stages like Black Hole and Quasar, experts could give out their most powerful attacks when they destroyed their own core, the destructive energies released from an imploding Black Hole or Quasar being something that could heavily injured or kill the enemy of the same rank .
This was especially so for Quasar, as it was nearly 100x more deadly than an implosion of a Black Hole!
This was because a Quasar had an active galactic nucleus, a level right before the formation of a Galaxy! Such a thing imploding would release a tremendous gravitational force that would rip apart space and everything in its surroundings to oblivion .
So the Stellar Ruler ran at this scene, while Anna and her protectors moved even further back to be safe . But many had widened eyes when they realized a single being was not running away as they even continued to rush towards the imploding Quasar faster!
Yggdrasil neared the terrifying force of an imploding Quasar as the body of the Fiend Ruler had begun to crack and melt, the space around him already ripping apart as a horrid gravitational force threatened to erupt out any second .
But Noah still went towards this exploding Quasar not because he was selfless or a Saint, but because of the loot!
He really could not let the loot of a Quasar ranked being go to waste!
So he went forward as he was also filled with a level of confidence . One of it was the fact that his Life Shield would erupt out at any moment, and the other was that he actually did not feel too much of a threat from the horrendous gravitational force spreading out from the Fiend- and the reason was his own archaic Manifested multicolored Black Hole .
At this moment, it seemed to be domineeringly screaming to him that the gravitational force being released by this imploding Quasar could not compare to the abilities of the Manifested Black Hole, and it threatened to prove this as the colorful Black Hole within Noah shone with a scintillating light!
The light seemed dominant and wild, converging to form an appalling gravitational force that went to restrict the imploding Fiend in front of Noah .
His branches flew out in a circular motion as they went to wrap all sides of the Fiend, the suppressive force being released by his own multicolored Galaxy actually stopping the advancing implosion of the Fiend as the terrifying gravitational force around it remaining restricted to him .
This was suppression! Utter and genuine suppression of a lower Realm with a higher one, and it was simply because the lower realm was made too resplendently with abilities that were lost over the eons of time!
The horrid gravitational force from the imploding Quasar never appeared, with Noah's branches carrying golden sword reaching and piercing this being from all around as a golden light burned in the closed eyes of the Fiend Ruler, his soul being cleansed with the judgment of fate as he perished .
" . . . "
A pervasive sight!
A heart rending battle!
Two QUASAR experts dead, and to someone that had recently broken through to Black Hole at that!
Chapter 682
In the chaotic void, a particularly restless Imperial Adjudicator was rushing out with an aura of a blazing sun as he made way towards the Stellar Sky Galaxy .
He used any teleportation rifts that he could to make the trip smaller, but as it normally took hours to make it from the Nexus Galaxy to Stellar Sky, it would take him at least half an hour if not slightly more as his shocking speed powered forward!
As he streaked across the chaotic void, he just hoped for the safety of his daughter .
He held the Medallion she had used
to contact him prior, only listening to see if any message would come out of it as he never sent one himself!
This was because he knew that his daughter could be in a deadly battle right now, and he would not do a single action that could break her concentration .
And he knew that whenever she was safe, she would immediately let him know! So he kept the Medallion as he thundered forth, wishing he could grow wings to move even faster .
What the Imperial Adjudicator did not know though, was that his daughter had passed over the terrible ordeal and was safe at this moment .
She just had not even thought about picking up the Medallion and letting her father know as her eyes, like the eyes of many, were still glued to the figure of an enormous green-gold tree butchering experts at the realms of Nebula, Black Hole, and Quasar as if he was simply snapping the necks of chickens!
---
With the fall of the last Fiend Ruler, the ranks of Fiend broke down as others tried to run, with even more choosing a similar action of self-implosion as the protectors had already run far away from them .
Meanwhile, Noah actively sought them out after he put the body of the Fiend Ruler away, his Manifested Black Hole releasing a suppressive force on any being that wanted to implode themselves and cause a horrendous gravitational storm, his branches reaping their lives thereafter!
The others saw this phenomenon as they shook their heads in amazement, thinking this righteous Life Law Master could not stand to leave even a single of these invading Fiends alive as he took care of them before they could deal any more damage .
But the truth was that Noah simply wanted all the loot that came with Nebula and Black Hole rank experts!
The skill books were many, the cores they granted were numerous, and he could find a way to transport them to the Novus Galaxy as he very easily increased the strength of the combatants there to Nebula Rank, and even make some of them experts at the Realm of Black Hole .
His subordinates would rise in strength even faster than him if they were power leveled with these cores, and Noah wanted them to achieve even higher realms of strength!
This was because he knew that deep inside their hearts, they felt a feeling of uselessness as they could not contribute to any of their goals because Noah's power outpaced them by so much .
If he could raise their strength to a sufficient enough level, the Harbingers of Sin and others could finally be put to use as they explored this vast Dark Universe!
This was also why even after locating the shocking Page of Ruination, the clone had put it away for further reading later as he continued to search for and collect Effulgent Star Pearls- all that would be loot he could use to power level his subordinates .
He was collecting the loot from Fiends and the loot from this Galaxy as he left nothing behind . One could never have too much loot!
His thoughts were abundant as he carried out his actions, the memories of the Fiend Rulers showing the shocking truth of even their mission that he had stumbled upon . He also got to know the identity of a fearsome backer of these Fiends, a being that had earned the title of an Entity!
He still did not know what this title truly meant as he pushed it in the back of his mind for now, dealing with the things immediate to him at this moment .
The battlefield had gradually become calm as he finished off the last of the Fiends, his form as an enormous tree taking the eyes and attention of all the beings in the surroundings as they gave him a variety of looks!
The Imperial Princess that had recovered some of her mana floated with the two Maids who could not hide their amazement, their eyes opening even wider as they saw the ancient tree shimmer with a green light as it began to reduce in size .
Soon enough, the image of a young man with dark hair appeared, his eyes still carrying a hint of blue and green as the abundant essence of life vibrantly pulsed from him .
As Anna stared at Alexander, she could not help but shake her head in wonder as on the body of this being, she and many others could still see the image of a manifested Black Hole!
He looked like a being glowing with multicolored lights as the illusory image of his profound Black Hole took over 80% of his body and glowed with power, his eyes noticing the gazes of the beings around him as Alexander turned to look at himself and see the situation first hand .
He seemed to smile as he gave a command, the illusory Manifested Black Hole on his body becoming dimmer and dimmer until it could barely be discerned! This was a mark to identify the beings on a spectacular path of power, and would light up brilliantly whenever he used his essence in the future!
As he finished all of this, his gaze was calm as he went towards the direction of the Imperial Princess . Many of the people around did not even know how to approach and act towards him as only the Stellar Ruler was laughing boldly while going towards him .
"Princess," Noah called out with a slight smile as the veiled Anna turned her face to the side curiously, speaking out words filled with interest and a hint of inquisitiveness!
"Who are you?" This was a question that many beings had, among the thoughts of thankfulness for saving them!
Noah already prepared multiple ways of answering but at this moment, all the beings here felt the nearing of a ridiculously powerful aura, an aura of power that was even greater than the QUASAR ranked Fiends that were just defeated .
The eyes of many nearly lost their light as they saw a blazing sun pierce the boundary of the Stellar Sky Galaxy and rush towards them, a bellow coming out from it that shook the starry space itself!
"Vile Fiends!"
RUMBLE!
Some were scared, while some that recognized the aura and the voice like Anna smiled brightly as the man himself, The Imperial Adjudicator, finally arrived to give aid to the Stellar Sky Galaxy .
His immense aura spread out as he noticed the scene of battle and prepared to release deadly attacks, but was shocked to find bodies of a few Fiends littering the space, those present only being the protectors of the Stellar Sky Galaxy as well as some Imperials and . . . his daughter!
The Imperial Adjudicator glanced towards the direction of his daughter as he arrived to save her, finding a mysterious man standing beside her and looking towards him with eyes of curiosity .
He had arrived to save them, and yet it seemed nobody needed saving!
Was this not the Galaxy that needed saving? Did it not have numerous Fiends of high Realms that completely outnumbered them? 2 in the QUASAR Realm? 200 at the Realm of Black Hole? What exactly had happened?!
Chapter 683
The scene of the battlefield in the Stellar Sky Galaxy was one of cheering and happiness, this state being increased even more as the identity of the recently appearing Adjudicator was confirmed .
Many were happy to escape death as they threw away their feelings of despair, looking toward Noah's direction as he was the only one they had to thank for this .
The Imperial Adjudicator went towards his daughter as his perceptive eyes caught this scene, nearing her in an instant as he questioned for her well being and exactly what had occurred .
Anna changed to her sweet tone as she talked to her father, Noah standing by the side as he was too busy reading the information about this being from Eyes of Truth!
If he could put it in one word, the information from this being was- vast!
There were many things worthy of note and some shocking secrets, but those on the surface was the fact that this being was half a step into the GALAXY Realm, and he also had an EPSILON ranked Trait similar to his daughter while also being an Assimilator of the Law of Chaos and Space, and a Law Master of the Law of Death .
Many titles with a lot of hard work required to bring them to life, but Noah's shone as he saw that the identity of this being as a Father was the most important!
Eyes of Truth were showing him shocking information about the being that this Adjudicator was connected to, the one who would be the Imperial Princess's mother! Noah's thoughts m
oved rapidly as he learned more about the Imperial Adjudicator more than anyone, this being turning towards him after he heard the story from his daughter .
"You have my genuine thanks for going out of your way to save my daughter and the people of the Stellar Sky Galaxy!"
OOM!
The voice of the Adjudicator was filled with power as he said this, his eyes looking towards Noah with thankfulness as they also held a hint of questioning and coldness, as Noah was too mysterious .
When listening to her daughter's story, his instincts as a father were glaring whenever Anna mentioned Noah as a friend she made when she went out to the Blessed Imperial Selection not too long ago .
When she told how he had killed the QUASAR raked Fiend Rulers, the Imperial Adjudicator had nearly disputed her words with disbelief!
"As a citizen of the Brightgold Monarchy Realm, I was only doing my job to protect the Princess . " He replied while bowing, his actions receiving eye rolls from the two maids as the Imperial Princess felt the same, her voice ringing out thereafter .
"I can't stomach this . Dad, don't we have to go? There should be many things we need to get done!"
The words of the Imperial Princess returned many to the present as the Adjudicator nodded, turning his attention to the Stellar Ruler as he spoke to him briefly .
The knowledge that multiple Galaxies were under attack was now widely known as they knew much work was still needed!
They moved to fortify the defenses of the Stellar Sky Galaxy as the Adjudicator even gave the commands to leave the Imperial Protectors that came with Anna to remain, with him choosing to take his daughter and her party back towards the Nexus Galaxy where an Elder Fiend was being over powered .
After he knew his daughter was safe, he planned to reinforce the rest of his forces that had moved out to help the other besieged Galaxies as they put this matter to rest for good!
RUMBLE!
A wave of essence erupted out as it wrapped around Anna and her two maids, the princess nodding her head towards her father as she looked towards Noah, this essence wrapping around him also as all four of them shot out from the Stellar Sky Galaxy .
