Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

Two sides facing off as it seemed like a battle could break off at any moment, Noah's right hand beginning to shine with a glorious array of colors as the pressure of Runic Dao Lines caused waves of power to undulate from him!

The five verdant haired beings had their origins shimmering brightly as they seemed ready to go, their eyes calm as if they still didn't think Noah would make a move against them.

At such a crucial juncture, the wizened voice of an old man began to stretch out of the barrier of the Bluefield Universe.

"Envoys of the Primordial Empire, I'm sure there is no need for any of this."

WAA!

The aged voice of King Augustus stretched out, the bated eyes of many beings that were watching the show at the edge of their seats all turning to look towards him as they found this powerful Antiquity to actually be stepping out from the vast boundary of the Bluefield Universe!

"Father!"

Lexis called out in shock as she and all the others knew all too well that he had not comprehended the Primordial Dao or the Dao of Ruination. He could use his own power to ward off the Ruination Essence outside, but he wouldn't be able to do it for long as it could overwhelm him at any moment!

Yet he stepped out slowly as his while his body looked old and decrypt, his eyes glimmered with an intense light as a strong barrier of all the Dao Essences he controlled wrapped around his body tightly. His white hair shimmered in the crimson sea that was trying to devour him alive, his figure floating forward as he came to stand beside Noah and speaking out in a somber tone.

"A hundred thousand years ago, the Indigo Cosmos was found by the Envoys of the Springforge Household from the Primordial Empire, coming under their domain and protection. I understand very well the rules that whatever falls in the Springforge Domain is under your jurisdiction…but I also know that you do not take from your own people!"

RUMBLE!

The eyes of Augustus shone with innumerable lights as his gaze seemed to contain countless galaxies, his voice continuing to flow out.

"We are also a part of the Springforge Domain, and we have rights as such we can keep the spoils of battles to ourselves. This Daolord before you…is part of our Indigo Cosmos as his spoils are our spoils. The rules of the Primordial Empire are clear…with the Great Conqueror stating that the spoils that others worked hard to obtain cannot be deprived from them by pure force, and there are proper methods for this. I am sure that the renowned Envoys will not be open to stealing from your own people?"

…!

The eyes of the Antiquities that had called themselves the Protectors of the Bastion of Reality shone brightly at the words of King Augustus, Noah also gazing at this being and reevaluating this old man over and over again as he saw his stout essence continue to try and fight off the raging Ruination Sea around them, but the protection could fall at any moment as the Ruination Sea was too deadly!

His expression was impassive as if his essence wasn't being drained out of him at this very moment, where death could come at any moment…but he was placing his trust on Noah as he avoided conflict with existences that had Daolords, existences that stemmed from the Primordial Empire!

Noah's eyes flashed brightly as he placed his hand on the figure of Augustus, Ruination Essence beginning to wrap around him protectively as the seas that were trying to devour him became calm. Noah then gazed towards the Envoys of the Primordial Empire that continued to speak out coldly.

"Your son's words made it seem like this was a foreign existence that just happened to appear here. Are you sure you want to swear the future of your Cosmos for him?"

THRUM!

The air was palpating with power as Augustus's eyes dimmed at these words, turning towards his son as the light of disappointment flashed again as he spoke out slowly.

"My son is not privy to the secrets of the Indigo Cosmos, with the one groomed to be the next Ruler being my daughter. Of course, the knowledge of Daolord Osmont was not shared with him. But he has been with us all this time as he is a resident of the Indigo Cosmos that will soon be officially becoming a part of the Primordial Empire! The rules of the Great Conqueror have to be followed…I am sure the Envoys do not dare wish to blemish his name and authority."

WAA!

The words of the old man wire tight nit as no gaps could be seen, Alexus looking towards him in shock as his figure began to tremble, while the Envoys turned utterly silent at having the same exact words used against them at this time!

Many beings were brought to a stupor from the actions of the old King, the glimmering white hair on this being's head fluttering in the Ruination Sea as he effectively avoided conflict against powerhouses of the Springforge Household of the Primordial Empire.

Under the rules of Aegon the Conqueror, the possession of others could not be taken blatantly as there had to be proper methods taken between different powers and families for all those in the Empire! If Noah was a part of the Indigo Cosmos that was about to be fully tied to the Empire, they couldn't use their influence to simply take the Primordial Heart from him!

"..."

The surroundings were eerily quiet as no side spoke.

Noah kept his gaze locked with the 5 Envoys as they seemed indecisive, but their brows quickly raised in happiness as they looked towards a certain direction. Noah also looked in this direction even faster than them as his eyes constricted, seeing a flash of light coming before them as its voice stretched out before the figure even fully formed!

"Haha, what a good King Augustus! You're as wily as when I first discovered your Cosmos. You must be very blessed to produce a Daolord in just over a hundred thousand years."

RUMBLE!

Instantaneously, a terrifying new aura appeared before everyone, forming into the shape of…a kid that couldn't be any older than 13 or 14!

This existence looked like a mere boy, but half of his entire body was filled with glimmering Runic Dao Lines as he released waves and waves of pressure. A simple white and green robe covered him as the insignia of the golden sword and blooming green flower could be seen, his eyes shining with an iridescent glow. His verdant hair danced wildly above his head as he gave a cheeky smile towards King Augustus, his eyes locking with Noah as the Ruination Sea began to churn!
