Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Aegon's body gave off palpable waves of power as he seemed like an ancient saint passing down judgment, nearly every being gazing towards him in awe as even though Noah was the one sitting lavishly on a throne, the Great Conqueror was the only one that the powerful inhabitants all around the Cosmic Battlefield could see as a Ruler in their eyes!

Noah gazed at the being before him with calm and curious eyes as he took in his words.

What he stood for was the protection of Reality as he did everything with this basis. He didn't attack him because he was someone that could withstand Primordial Beasts, so he elevated the protection of their Reality as this matched with Aegon's views!

Such a view was very contrasting to what Halcyon had spoken about, with Noah curious as to how things would play out along the line.

'How do you come to be the one trying to exterminate Reality? How will you make such a hard shift to the opposite direction of your mission?'

Such a question rose in Noah's mind as while he had many possibilities for what would occur, he didn't know of which path everything would settle in as he gazed at this Champion of Reality before him.

After that whole speech from Aegon, they all watched as Noah sat straight upon the Throne of Tyranny and raised his head as with shining eyes, he spoke.

And…it wasn't something that those watching expected!

"The rewards of the Writ of Challenge…how exactly will these be handled now?"

…!

Noah had a deep smile hidden behind his Ephemeral Helm as his eyes flashed with a sharp light. The Cosmos that were up for grabs for the Writ of Challenge that started it all! The Primordial Light of Authority had not returned to Noah after the battle, nor had the Light of Authority that Stormdust released returned to him!

Both of these things remained floating and intermixed with each other at the peak center of the Cosmic Battlefield due to the command of nobody but Aegon.

"..."

Silence descended across the Cosmic Battlefield.

Others were worried just how this would play out, whether a powerful combatant would be wiped out by the Great Conqueror or spared, and yet this being…he was so bold to bring up the Writ of Challenge and the 1000 Cosmos owed to him!

THRUM!

The body of Aegon released bursts of light that caused the very surrounding Reality to tremble. His sharp eyes seemed to be ready to break his convictions when this being before him still continued to be unruly and not respect his authority!

"AEGON!" From afar, Springforge gritted her teeth as her essence of Amelioration wrapped around her body, forcefully edging close to the figures of the two beings as she floated before Aegon with Noah protected behind her back!

"This must stop…we all knew about Stormdust and did nothing. Osmont here was wise enough to take the steps to oust him as now, we can forge out Primordial Empire to be stronger than ever! We can all just-"

"You were his helper?"

WAA!

Aegon's eyes flashed sharply as he cut off Springforge's words while gazing at her calmly.

Towards his questioning gaze and Springforge who had begun to glare at him angrily, another sonorous voice rang out as another being came into the picture to stand in front of Noah…and face the pressure of the terrifying Champion of Reality!

"Not a helper, Father. Just someone of the same mindset. Just someone…who wishes to save their Reality."

The voice of Halcyon echoed out as her golden hair danced calmly on her shoulders.

A verdant haired woman and a golden haired woman now floated in front of Noah's as they actually bore the pressure of the Great Conqueror!

Behind Aegon, Havenbreaker came by his side as she gazed towards Halcyon coldly, her red lips parting out venomously.

"You little whor-"

BZZT!

The right hand of Aegon was raised as everything came to a halt. Nobody spoke as the Great Conqueror gazed deeply into Halcyon's eyes, his calm back hair beginning to dance wildly on his shoulders as his regal voice replied.

"This is the first time in over a million years that you called me with that title…and you did it for him?"

The air surged with palpable friction and essence as the eyes of the Champion had begun to be filled with many turbulent emotions!

In his heart, a sense of betrayal rose as he gazed at his own daughter and the woman that occupied a position as one of his oldest friends.

Yet now, the two of them stood to defend a foreign being that had not even been in the Empire for too long!

This feeling of betrayal…it was enough to cause one to do drastic things as before that could occur, Aegon raised his hand and placed it on his chest…a white light flashing across his body as instantly, his eyes turned blank and became void of emotion.

The change caused the hearts of Halcyon and Springforge to tremble as behind them, Noah looked forward with extreme curiosity- the now emotionless voice of the Champion coming out!

"Those you stand to protect are those that you truly care about…you can join the one you protect in his exile!"

WAA!

"Just know…that you would not be able to take with you any of the fruits that I have established!"

…!

Springforge's eyes flashed as they were filled with anger when looking at Aegon, while Halcyon had an impassive expression as if this was not new to her- as if she had seen it all.

The surroundings quieted down once more.

Noah had received his answer. He would not be able to take the fruits established by the Great Conqueror, but he did not truly need them as there were a vast array of Cosmos to be found across the Ruination Sea, with him approaching the number that he expected to cause a significant change in the Infinite Cosmos!

Collecting Cosmos under him to create an Empire…Noah was already doing this at this point in time! If a champion could forge a glorious Empire, then what about him who could rival their ridiculousness even without their Systems? It was a thought among many as he continued to focus on Aegon.

He wondered what ability it was that this being had cast to give himself into an emotionless state as he could look at his own daughter and friend while telling them to get out of his grand empire!

"Each of you have your own Edicts and can withstand Primordial Beasts. Go forge your own paths elsewhere…but not here."

The stance of the Emperor was reiterated! Halcyon had no words as her golden eyes took in the figures of Aegon and her mother beside him. Springforge's verdant hair danced angrily as she gazed towards them and then towards the billions of Paragons, Hegemonies, Antiquities, and Daolords that were still sprawled out across the Cosmic Battlefield.

She then gazed at hundreds of Cosmos from afar that were under the house in her name, a sense of profound emotion coursing through her as she spoke out angrily!

"The House of Springforge…"

"None of the fruits of labor from this Empire can be taken away. Scatter. Scatter before I change my mind!" With his eyes flashing emotionlessly, his will imposed itself in the surroundings as he stated blandly.

Gradually, the Great Conqueror was running out of patience and time as the being on the Throne of Tyranny tapped his finger on its armrest, his essence surging out as the Primordial Sentinels were wrapped with a light of teleportation and began to fade away.

The figures of King Augustus and others from the first Cosmos Noah had arrived in also disappeared along with anyone in the few Cosmos Noah had under him that had become his Vassals! Springforge also turned defiant as she raised her hands towards her Daolords and Antiquities, her voice echoing out.

"Any of those that do not resist…will be able to come with me!"

SHAA!

A verdant light spread from her and covered the most powerful figures from the House of Springforge, more than half of them fading away as the other half…gritted their teeth while letting the green only pass through their bodies.

Many unexplainable emotions coursed through the hearts of all those watching as after a minute passed with constant teleportations, it came down to the Tyrant situated upon the Throne of Tyranny and the two women beside him. 

With a gaze of anger, Springforge shook her head while locking eyes with the golden haired Havenbreaker staring down towards them coldly. Halcyon remained impassive as Noah…his helm disappeared from his head as his devilishly handsome face became clear for all to see!

"I enjoyed the experience of the Primordial Empire…O Champion of Reality!" His voice rang out grandly as the regality and defiance within could be felt clearly, Aegon's eyes sharpening as he looked ready to change his mind at any second…but the figures of the three beings around him began to be wrapped up with a silver spatial light. 

Noah's multicolored eyes, Springforge's verdant eyes, and Halcyon's golden eyes all reflected onto the faces of Aegon and Havenbreaker as a few seconds later…they all faded!

Faded as at this moment, they were cut off from the Primordial Empire!

As their figures faded…Havenbreaker came beside the majestic bost of Aegon as she wrapped her arms around him from behind, her face filled with apparent love as she voiced out.

"I will never leave you, my Champion…"

…!

Her golden hair and eyes caused her to look dazzling as she said this, her fair hands taking Aegon's chin and turning him to gaze deep into her eyes as she repeated herself.

"Me and you…against the enemies of Reality!"

A proclamation of love! The cold Aegon gazed into the eyes of Havenbreaker as his face softened, his vibrant origin shining brilliantly as he turned to gaze towards the crimson wound that now affected his Empire as he repeated what he just heard.

"Against the enemies of Reality…"

The destiny of different beings weaved and churned into a myriad of directions…nobody being the wiser on where everything was heading even at this moment!

Nobody…but possibly a single being!
