Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

An introduction was made as Noah laid his eyes on those mentioned. The two siblings- Alexus and Lexis, all had prominent glimmering white hair, this being even more prominent on Lexis that had this white hair cascading down her shoulders and even being long enough to cover her bountiful chest.

Her expression was one filled with an intelligent light as her eyes were gazing thoughtfully at Noah and all those around him!

Alexus had a careful expression as he looked forward with an impassive expression, this being looking like a suave middle aged man as his black robe covered expertly built muscles underneath it.

But as he looked at Noah who seemed even younger than him and the sense of power he wielded, a myriad of emotions passed through this being as he kept them hidden underneath!

The ones that King Augustus termed compatriots were powerful Antiquities that similar to Augustus and his children, had dozens of Universes glimmering brightly within their Origins.

The two of them gave polite bows to Noah as they expressed their thanks, Augustus waving invitingly towards Noah as he spoke to the Antiquities behind them.

"You all take care of everything here as I welcome Daolord Osmont. Lexis, come and help get things ready!"

His eyes gave many commands as he spoke, motioning for his son, Charles, and Viola to oversee the boundaries and areas of the destroyed Universe as well as the army behind them while he took in Noah and his party further into the Indigo Cosmos.

Noah was looking and feeling the atmosphere of the Universe and Cosmos around him as it truly felt uniquely different from the one he knew, this current universe he was in actually being filled with wisps of blue as he could actually see vast sparkling cerulean rivers stretching out across the void of space!

Bodies of water...snaking across the void of space!

Each of them glimmered brightly as unique lifeforms at the level of the Void Rank and above could be seen within.

King Augustus saw the scene of Noah marveling at the surroundings as he was about to speak, but his daughter beat him to it as with eyes flashing with a thoughtful light, she spoke.

"Seeing as you must be a visitor from a faraway Cosmos, we can introduce somethings to Daolord Osmont. We're currently in the Bluefield Universe, one of the many universes within the Indigo Cosmos that shared the unique feature of vast bodies of water stretching out across the void and within its Galaxies…"

With an elegant demeanor, Lexis Marcus Tiberius began to introduce the new land before Noah as behind them, the figure of Alexus looked at this scene closely as he began to give orders, he and the other 2 Antiquities beginning to move busily!

Noah was listening carefully to the introduction he was being given, nodding here and there as soon enough, he posed his own question as they floated past the boundary of the Bluefield Universe and entered another.

"You mentioned the Primordial Empire?"

His question was directed to the King in front of him as he smiled lightly, an unknown light crossing through his eyes as he actually sighed before he spoke.

"Yes. The Primordial Empire. The force that oversees a myriad of Cosmos- this one included, and the ones we sent word for help when the Primordial Beast first appeared. In exchange for our...allegiance, the Daolords and Antiquities of the Primordial Empire will come to our aid whenever they are called upon!"

His eyes carried a myriad of emotions when he said this, a light of anger crossing through his and his daughter's eyes at the fact that even now, these beings they sent word to help had not appeared!

Augustus had a thoughtful look as he floated forward, his aged eyes thinking of many things before they turned decisive, turning around and facing Noah as he spoke.

"For the account of saving us from making any sacrifices against the Primordial Beast, I can share some knowledge with Daolord Osmont...as I know that is what you want the most!"

WAA!

Noah's eyes flashed as he reevaluated the old man before him once more, nodding his head as he saw the daughter of this King Augustus begin to emanate waves of power that released an Isolation Field around all of them.

This was a unique power of hers that allowed them to disappear into multiple layers of folded space, none of them being able to be perceived or seen in the outside space as whatever they talked about would be that of utter secrecy!

In this space, King Augustus breathed out as if a heavy weight was on his shoulders, glancing at Noah with a serious tone as he asked.

"Daolord...if I were to ask you on what you think the most precious resource in a Cosmos is, what would you say?"

The most precious resource in a Cosmos!

Noah had not expected such a question as he thought deeply, evaluating what he had experienced himself in the Primordial Cosmos as Tiamat voiced out an answer behind him that caused King Augustus to smile in an apologetic manner.

"Of course, it is the Hegemonies and Antiquities that can defend the Cosmos in times like today!"

"Ah...I'm afraid not, my Lady!"

The reply from Augustus caused Tiamat to raise her brows, turning towards Noah as she saw him reply with a smile.

"It is the uncountable Quintillions of existences within it."

RUMBLE!

Yes!

For the many instances, the most precious resource within a Cosmos was not not its experts or a unique treasure that was found within it, but it was actually the myriad of beings that littered the Cosmos in large numbers!

"Yes." The gaze of King Augustus had turned serious as he spoke. "The existences within a Cosmos are the most important...and this is because all Hegemonies and Antiquities need them to achieve greater Realms of Power."

The eyes of Tiamat and the other summons shone sharply as a lesson began to be given by the king of another Cosmos.

For one to achieve Antiquity, they had to step into the Universal Filament Realm that could only be done after they transformed their Origin fully with 100 Billion Marks of Antiquity. 

Everytime they wanted to increase their strength thereafter, they had to utilize another 100 Billion Marks of Antiquity to create Splendiferous Universes, their path to power always being limited by the number of Marks of Antiquity!

If one could obtain a precious treasure like a Primordial Heart, such an ordeal would be surpassed as they could forge multiple Splendiferous Universes with it, but those who could freely obtain such treasures already had thousands of Universes or were already in the Cosmic Realm!

So for the vast majority of existences...they had to obtain their strength from amassing Marks of Antiquities, and the most direct and efficient way to do this was to oversee and influence quintillions of beings across a myriad of Universes...or even Cosmos.

"Ruling over and influencing countless quintillions of existences gives a huge boost in the Marks of Antiquity in the beginning, and the Marks continue to form over the years as one would just accumulate strength as time passes."

King Augustus spoke as he stared out across the hidden folds of space they were in and spoke shocking words.

"This truth is what brings about our current situation...this truth is the reason behind everything that occurs in the Primordial Empire, in the Empire that Aegon the Conqueror forged!"

…!
