Chapter 1087 - A Race Against Time! II
In the Liberated Universe, the voice of Chronos continued to resound out as he looked at many powerful Hegemonies.
"Within the remaining hours of this day...all of us will have to put our lives on the line to defend the remaining Universal Construct."
His gaze was somber as his eyes were devoid of emotion, but his voice captured their hearts as it held with it something they all dearly wanted!
"We all want Antiquity, and now it is time to put that want to the test. If you can risk your life for Antiquity as we pass through these few hours within a day, the process of Amalgamation will be complete as the Antiquity will descend."
"The enemies that stand against us are few, but they are most likely the weapons of the Primordial Cosmos themselves to prevent us from getting what we want! There is the Oathkeeper with his Cosmic Treasure, and then the Apex Paragon that controls a Hegemony!"
RUMBLE!
"Stand against them for just a matter of hours...and we succeed."
His words finished as the faces of all the Hegemonies were filled with an intense light.
Only a matter of hours.
This was all they had to do to defend!
Sometimes, the battles of Universal Realm experts could even be drawn out to days depending on how they fought, so them standing against a Hegemony that was under the control of a Paragon should not be too much of an issue.
As for the Oathkeeper…
"The Oathkeeper will not be able to make another move until at least some hours from now, which gives us ample time for preparation. Whichever Universe he appears in next, the majority of us will head there and stop his descent into it as much as we can."
As if he could read their minds, Chronos spoke with an impassive expression and continued.
"Same thing for the Hegemony under the Apex Paragon. It is a Universal Emperor Slime that I nearly eradicated with you all before, we will just have to do it again. This one should be even easier to deal with as they just newly advanced. Dark Shadow, you can reinforce Ambrose in the Animus Universe when the time comes. Microbial Hegemony…"
Chronos began delegating tasks and how they should move when the eyes of the Cerulean Hegemony began to tremble off to the side.
He recalled the words he just heard from Chronos as he was first confused, and then they opened in shock as he remembered a particularly unique scene a few months back in a Universe that had detached itself from the Primordial Cosmos!
He thought of a certain existence that had actually gotten his hands on the pieces of a Cosmic Treasure and had utilized his contracted summon- a Blue Slime, to actually destroy a minor piece of his soul in the end.
He recalled this very clearly as he had cursed at how a being could get his hands on a Cosmic Treasure and an existence like a Universal Emperor Slime at the same time, promising to rip them apart if the time ever came!
But not too long after, all Hegemonies felt the cry of the Primordial Cosmos as the Dark Universe should have been destroyed, and the Cosmic Treasure RUINATION should have been lost in the Ruination Sea.
But as the Cerulean Hegemony heard the words of a Blue Slime that was also under the control of another being...as he put many pieces together and the fact that the entire race of Universal Emperor Slimes should be eradicated, the Cerulean Hegemony actually arrived at the conclusion that somehow, the Noah Osmont of the Dark Universe had survived!
He had survived along with his contracted summons as the Blue Slime with the special devouring ability that even killed him had somehow come into the Primordial Cosmos!
…!
His shocked gaze only became more and more immense as put many things together, a singular thought appearing in his mind.
It was the thought of a second Cosmic Treasure actually being in the hands of a newly risen Hegemony, a second Cosmic Treasure appearing in the Primordial Cosmos once more!
Coming to such a conclusion, the shocked light gradually faded from the eyes of the Cerulean Hegemony as it was replaced with immense greed.
His expression became normal as he wiped away his shock, actually choosing not to share his shocking findings with the other Hegemonies around him as he actually rose and spoke up powerfully.
"I will lead the force against the Apex Paragon and the Hegemony he controls!"
WAA!
His actions caused many being to look towards him unhappily, many of them and especially Chronos recalling the fact that this being was right in front of the Universal Construct when the Oathkeeper struck, but he was frozen in fear as he couldn't even make a move, and he ran even faster than the rest of them after the Construct was destroyed.
Chronos looked at the Cerulean Hegemony with disappointed eyes as he spoke out.
"You'll be in the team that the Heroic Hegemony will lead against the Universal Emperor Slime and the Apex Paragon, not leading it!"
…!
Even with such an admonishment, the Cerulean Hegemony smiled and nodded as he returned to himself, many thoughts crossing his mind as it had begun to buzz with many ideas of a Cosmic Treasure.
A Cosmic Treasure that could allow one to survive in the Ruination Sea!
When he got his hands on it, what prevented him from leaving the Primordial Cosmos and exploring the vast Ruination Sea?
As for the Apex Paragon and the Universal Emperor Slime...they would have to face his main body and the multiple other Hegemonies this time around, so the Cerulean Hegemony concluded they would have no chance!
'Noah Osmont...I won't let it end the same way a second time!'
RUMBLE!
A Hegemony plotted at this time as Noah's enemies paved a plan to counter a defensive, this Hegemony not sharing crucial details that would have changed many things.
The sharing of knowledge about the Cosmic Treasure RUINATION being in the hands of a Paragon was dangerous enough for his teammates.
But the withholding of knowledge about this Paragon himself? Withholding the name of [Noah] that even an Antiquity was extremely cautious of and had warned Chronos about beings with such names in any Cosmos?
This was actually the most dangerous thing!
