Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

At the very precipice of the Novus Galaxy, in the corner of the Letalis Expanse where only Controllers could discern an area where the bounds of this Galaxy passed, two figures were staring at a broken space.

"Haha! Haha!"

Wild laughter that reeked of madness flowed out from the one responsible as the area that he had destroyed vibrated intensely!

VOOOM!

An extremely strong absorbing force leaked out from the portion where Aldrich had broken the barrier of the Novus Galaxy, Noah's essence forming into tendrils of Aether and reaching out as it grabbed around Aldrich who was about to get sucked in through the octagonal shattered space.

"Haha! Do not blame me!"

Wrathful and incoherent laughter was all that came from Aldrich at this moment as his body seemed nearly depleted of essence after stopping Noah's advance and shattering a portion of a barrier of an entire Galaxy.

Noah looked towards the shattered octagonal space as what he saw behind it was truly terrifying, his awareness barely being able to spread out a few meters as all he saw was immense blackness!

The space immediately outside the bounds of the Novus Galaxy was terrifyingly empty and black!

"What did you do? What purpose does this serve?!"

Noah's voice rang out coldly towards Aldrich as the Founder currently had his arms and legs stretched out in four directions, the force from the void outside the Novus Galaxy threatening to swallow him whole and rip him apart the moment that Noah released him.

Aldrich did not nearly have enough essence that would allow him to actually utilize the abilities of a Grand Controller to traverse outside of it, yet Noah observed as this being actually continued to laugh with no fear, his gaze actually looking towards him mockingly!

"Haha! You do not know? I thought as the main puppet, you would know everything that was happening!"

RUMBLE!

Foreboding words were the only thing coming from Aldrich as Noah tugged at his essence, the tendrils of Aether that were holding Aldrich in place bringing him closer as Noah observed the wide-open octagonal shattered space.

There seemed to be a greater meaning to Aldrich's actions that Noah had not grasped yet, so he brought the figure of the Founder close to him until he landed on his palm, his enormous figure that was still over a hundred miles looking down with shining red eyes as his two clones flanked his left and right.

"What did you do?"

"I did the only thing I could when cornered to such a state, I called for the destruction of the enemy I could not defeat!"

Aldrich's reply came in between his maddened laughs, his words continuing as his image completely lost all dignity and he looked more and more like a raving lunatic.

"The destruction of my home...haha! A fitting end for the enemy that raised me up and then threw me away like nothing!"

Shocking words of destruction released from the Founder as Noah's eyes squinted, his gaze turning murderous as the palm he had Alrich on began closing.

"Haha! It is too late now! Even a puppet like you will not be able to stop it!"

Noah was prepared to stop listening as he wanted to simply eradicate Aldrich right away, absorbing his memories as he simply learned what the meaning of this creature's actions were.

"The bell has been rung!"

RUMBLE!

More raving screams left Aldrich even as he saw the enormous palm about to crush him, his words only repeating again.

"The bell has been rung, and they are coming! Haha! Haha!!!"

…!

Noah's intuition became more and more foreboding with every passing word as he prepared to crush Aldrich, when he instantly felt the nearing of three terrifyingly powerful auras that he had sensed from a very far away region not too long ago.

RUMBLE!

The unique signatures of Terrors neared as Noah only heard a space-shattering yell.

"YOU FOOLS!"

RUMBLE!

Two enormous red stars for eyes, massing coiling and moving tentacles that occupied hundreds of miles.

The Terror of Aether was at the forefront as he arrived while staring at the figure of Noah and his clones, as well as the raving lunatic of a being grasped within the palm of Noah's main body and about to be crushed.

Its enormous eyes then locked on the shattered octagonal area that represented the boundary of the Novus Galaxy as its body shook, the terrifying power of the Terror exploding out wildly as he spoke once more!

"You fools! Do you know what you have done?!"

RUMBLE!

"Haha!"

The only answer was the wild laughter of a particular Founder as the auras of two other Terrors made themselves visible, creating for a suffocating atmosphere that would have simply destroyed the origins of any weaker beings were they in the surroundings.

One was a being coming a bit over 1000 miles, his figure humanoid in nature as his body seemed to be made of extremely bright black crystals, even his eyes densely black as he released a cold air!

The Terror of the Void had appeared as his eyes coldly glanced at Noah and the small raving figure of Aldrich within his hands.

RUMBLE!

On another side, the third terror actually had a shape that Noah had seen before, a shape of the ancients that he could normally summon with the skills of the Blood Lord!

Also claiming a unique humanoid appearance with horns rising from its head as its head was filled with shimmering grey hair, this was the Ancient Terror that had actually borne the Ancient Races of the Letalis Expanse!

All three Terrors were looking towards Noah and then the figure of Alrich with extreme wrath in their eyes as they understood what the image of an octagonal broken area in the barrier of the Novus Galaxy represented.

"Haha, the other puppets are here as well. Very good, all of you can simply wait in helplessness before you-"

CRUNCH!

Noah's patience had run completely thin as he folded his palm entirely, destructive Aether rolling out as the Founder of Celestial perished as simply as if one crushed a bug.

A radiance of red erupted out as Noah absorbed the memories of this creature, having deactivated [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] at this point as he chose not to obtain Skill Points but instead obtain all the Cores and loot of the only Nebula Rank being he had killed in the Novus Galaxy, as they would allow him to make a greater advancement into the next realm!

Even the appearance of three powerful Terrors did not deter him as he read the many memories of Aldrich, wanting to know exactly what was the full meaning behind his actions? What had the breaking of a portion of the barrier of the Novus Galaxy done?

The full answer was something horrendous, and also the reason for the wrath that the Terrors felt!
