Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-897

Hours passed as the Sages and Great Sages of the Dark Universe congregated and discussed!

Noah only brought up Tiamat's ordeal and mission, leaving out the terrifying identity of the Universal Emperor Slime that he would actually have to not display so freely in the Primordial Cosmos- not unless he wanted all the experts to rush towards him anyways.

Something worthy of note that seemed to foretell of a difficult future was the enormous body of Jormungandr stepping forward, its booming voice ringing out.

"I was a weak thing in the Animus Universe before you summoned me...but I do know that the state of the Dragon Race has fallen from what it used to be! I haven't been to the Holy Lands of the 9 Supreme Bloodlines, but the scenes there might not be something any of us expect!"

THRUM!

The Galaxy Devouring Serpent said this while glancing at Tiamat, preparing her and Noah for whatever they would find when they arrive in the Animus Universe!

Tiamat had a solemn expression as she expected this somewhat since she who was the Ruler of Dragons fell, but she still held hope that the Great Sages and Monarchs of her race had continued to fight for the status of her bloodline.

Many things continued to be mentioned as after extensive discussions and preparations, Noah felt he had prepared sufficiently enough as he was ready to set off!

The meeting was dissolved as others made their own preparations, Noah coming into the glimmering crimson chaotic void as he stared at its new beauty.

He had achieved his goal of protecting his Universe and preventing its apocalypse, where it now faced no threats as it floated amidst the Sea of Ruination that was not harmful to it.

At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of the Primordial Cosmos and all the Universes within them.

Aside from the Animus Universe, Noah also put the Necrotic Universe and the...Cerulean Universe on his radar!

This was because the Blue Slime shared with him the memories it had obtained after it absorbed the sliver of soul that was the Half-a-Step Great Spirit Sage.

From this, he knew that the terrifying being that had targeted and been on the Dark Universe for the last tens of thousands of years was in the Cerulean Universe, and just how terrifying his level of power was!

Maybe in the future when Noah had risen to a similar level of power and was confident enough….he would pay a visit to the Cerulean Universe…

The contrasting image of the Blue Cerulean Universe passed through his mind as he looked at his own Dark Universe. Its formerly dark chaotic void now shone with auroras of crimson, the void of space being lit up brightly as the dark universe...wasn't so dark anymore!

The contrast put a smile on Noah's face as he held the Cosmic Treasure that voiced out lightly.

[Ready?]

The Cosmic Treasure asked for affirmation if Noah was ready as their next action...was to utilize the [Universe Piercer] feature to make a Gateway to a Universe the treasure had come across- their target being the Animus Universe!

Attached to Noah at this time was a [Pocket Universe] that held a Universal Gateway back into the Universal Core of the Dark Universe where he could access his subordinates within any time he wished, and he could also enter it to appear back in the Dark Universe whenever he wanted. He would enter the Animus Universe himself first before he called out any of the Sages within his Universal Core in this manner.

"Ready!"

THRUM!

He replied to the Cosmic Treasure that initiated Universal Piercer right away, Noah's body being wrapped by a crimson red light as he disappeared!

From the Dark Universe...he was shuttled into the Ruination Sea as a wondrous spatial light wrapped around him, his destination being the Primordial Cosmos!

As he warped through the Ruination Sea and towards the Animus Universe, Noah thought about the Information that Tiamat and the other Animus Summons shared about their Universe and...the larger Primordial Cosmos!

The Primordial Cosmos with its multitude of Universes was extremely old.

Its actual age was very hard to ascertain even now as within it...a great deal of powerful beings had risen.

Some beings achieved such powerful Realms of power that their very strengths could disrupt the lives of Quadrillions of beings if they battled or acted freely on their wishes!

This was why in the Primordial Cosmos, there existed an Absolute Rule that was maintained throughout.

An Absolute Rule that was rarely ever broken, a rule that upheld the era of balance and prosperity for the eons that passed within the Cosmos.

It was the Rule that Hegemonies within the Universal Realm...could not move to act against those in the lower Realms, and nor could they act against each other for small conflicts!

It was such a tremendously stringent rule that for it to be kept...an extremely powerful Universal Realm Hegemony called the Oathkeeper had stepped up to oversee it!

Through the Lesser Dao of the Oath Keeper that this being had created, all rising and current Universal Realm Hegemonies would have to make an oath in front of him that would be inscribed into the very souls of each party.

This reality was supported by all current Universal Realm experts as the being that denied making the oath...would not be able to keep their lives for much longer!

That was how Absolute the rule of Universal experts not moving against themselves for small conflicts or moving against those in the lower Realms was.

That a Lesser Dao was made by a terrifying creature just for it, and all Universal experts had to make an oath under this Dao that if they broke...the Oathkeeper would know right away as the wrath of all the collective Universal Realm Hegemonies in the Cosmos would descend upon the Oath Breaker.

This being one of the main things that kept the Prosperity of the Cosmos...made Noah extremely excited when he heard of it from Tiamat!

Of course, he also knew that nothing was set in stone as just weeks prior, he had faced a negligible sliver of a soul from a being had just reached the bounds of the Universal Realm in the Cerulean Universe...and yet this being had been able to act against them!

Whether it was due to their actual body and strength not acting, or the fact that it stayed within the boundary of the Realms within the Galaxy...whatever the reason was, Noah saw that this Absolute Rule that was maintained with such stringency...had loopholes to play with here and there.

'The most powerful experts cannot move against me…'

This thought carried him with confidence as the voice of the Cosmic Treasure passed through his mind.

[We're arriving, Master.]

RUMBLE!

Noah spread out his senses as he was about to arrive into the Animus Universe.

It was the place his Summons stemmed from, a Universe that he would soon come to know as a place with brutality and fantastical creatures each with their own histories!

The Universe where the 9 Supreme Bloodlines ruled through pure strength and power...the Animus Universe!
