Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

In the Expansive Holy Land, it was even more bustling than normal as many qualified beings went towards the Dragon Head to observe the Holy Descendant Selection.

This time around, it was an extremely special one as the Holy Emperor himself would be attending, a grand occasion being announced as it coincided with the return of the Holy Princess Anastasia!

RUMBLE!

Unique waves of essence swirled around the Expansive Coliseum as the over 1 billion seats were soon filled up, auspicious clouds forming atop the wide Coliseum as there were simply too many beings with the swirling essence of the dao in this single location, causing for unique atmospheric phenomena to form.

Within this Expansive Coliseum, there was an elevated area designed to be the location where important personages sat, and this place was set apart from the similar 1 billion seats where all others were situated. With extravagant seats and a rich atmosphere, this was the location where the powerful beings that were the strength of the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter began to appear!

"There is Holy Prince Rudolf! My gosh, look at his peerless gaze…!"

"Who's that beside him? Could it be?!"

Discussions were abound as the noise made from over a billion beings gathered in one location was something shocking to experience, but they watched the exalted seats above them to be filled with esteemed personages as the image of Holy Prince Rudolf Frederick Windsor became apparent.

Near him though, many honed their eyes on two veiled women as they had many ideas!

"That should be the missing Holy Princess Anastasia, but who is that other woman beside here?"

"Who knows? We should be happy that the Holy Princess had been found and returned to us! Just her presence is…"

Fanaticism and reverence were all that the beings felt when they looked up the Windsor Royals that ruled over the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter!

This was a generation that had ruled in the past thousands of years, taking the reins of the powerful Dragonoid rulers over 10,000 years ago as they elevated the status of the human race higher in the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter.

In the elevated square-shaped area of the coliseum that these royals were situated at, many could see the guarding Holy Descendants that surrounded the area on all sides, as well as the archaic-looking chair at the very center that was currently empty. This was the seat the fearsome Holy Emperor would be taking, all other seats being occupied at this moment as everybody waited for this being to make an appearance.

ROAAR!

At this moment, a dragon's cry could be heard as from the skies above the Expansive Coliseum, a powerful aura at the Peak of the GALAXY Realm descended.

On the many illusory screens spread throughout the Expansive Coliseum, the image of the source of this dragon's cry was clearly displayed as many beings drew in their breaths!

It was a fearsome Dragon that had 6 heads, each of the shimmering with a different color as on top of one of them, a majestic man with a shining pristine white crown could be seen! This man actually stood on a powerful Animus Summon at the PRISMATIC rank as it released a grand aura that took the breaths of everyone away!

This was one of the few PRISMATIC Pets under the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter, one that was being controlled by the Holy Emperor himself as it appeared below him to assert a profound dominance.

The Holy Emperor himself was decked out all in white as he exuded power and elegance, the dragon below him that released an aura more powerful than many Entities that Noah had met before carefully carrying this being as it could only act as a mount at this moment.

One of the heads of the 6 Headed Dragon that the Holy Emperor stood on extended slowly towards the area where the Holy Children were located, this being stepping onto it grandly as silence descended onto the Expansive Coliseum.

Over 1 billion beings, and not a single one uttered a word with the entrance of this being. He had a light smile on his face as his feet landed, the enormous 6 headed dragon disappearing into a light that dove into his origin, all of the Holy Children on the stands and the over 1 billion beings rising so that they could bow towards him!

This was deep reverence that they all felt towards this ruler, reverence that was deep rooted in their hearts from this being that reigned over them for the past thousands of years! The eyes of many looked towards the exalted stand where the Holy Emperor, Prince, and Princess were located, their eyes seeing even the veiled Holy Princess Anastasia standing up to bow.

Yet in the next moment, their eyes constricted as they saw that unlike all of them, a single being did not even bother to stand up and give respect to the Holy Emperor.

RUMBLE!

Gasps could be seen as the eyes of many honed in on this being that was situated to the right of Holy Princess Anastasia, her veiled gaze seemingly only looking forward as she didn't even bother to stand up!

Even the Holy Emperor looked towards her as unlike the wrath many beings expected to see, a wide smile appeared on his face as he walked towards this being. His daughter had turned to her right as she nudged the veiled being to rise, but she stayed situated on the seat adamantly as she chose to still not to give respect to the most important personage of the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter!

The Holy Emperor walked towards her with a warm smile as many people held their breaths for what was about to happen, this ruler coming in front of this veiled woman as all the illusory screens of the Expansive Coliseum showed the scene of him using his hands to lift her veil while he uttered shocking words.

"My granddaughter, let this old man see you."

…!

BUZZZ!

"...!"

Shocked silence descended throughout the Coliseum as when the silence was lifted, crimson-colored hair overflowed as the exceedingly and impossibly gorgeous image of a woman in her prime showed itself!

Many people had to pinch themselves and run their essence throughout their bodies to make sure they weren't dreaming, this image of a shining fairy gracing them with their presence nearly sucking their souls out.

This was especially so since the being called the 'granddaughter' by the Holy Emperor was actually staring towards him with a fierce expression, her eyes carrying a hint of anger as she showed not even the littlest respect!

"As fierce and beautiful as your mother."

The Holy Emperor voiced out again as he smiled, many people glancing at the nearby Anastasia as they drew in cold breaths while realizing many things.

During this time, many of the watching beings missed a crucial feature when they glanced at the veiled Anastasia as their attention was drawn simply to her presence.

If one looked closely, they would be able to notice shimmering gold circlets that wrapped around both her hands. To others, they only increased her beauty but on the Holy Princess herself, they felt like chains as this was something her own father had placed on her after her return so that she would not so easily disappear again!

The circlets were a special item that had a very specific purpose, and they escaped the attention of all beings as the proceedings continued. Only the hands of Anastasia herself could feel how heavy they were as her saddened gaze was hidden beneath her veil.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor turned towards the over 1 billion beings as his face appeared on all the illusory screens of the Expansive Coliseum.

"My people! Welcome to this grand occasion where we celebrate the return of our Holy Princess Anastasia, as well as the introduction of my granddaughter- Anna!"

RUUMBLE!

Waves were sent with his words as in a grand hall of the Expansive Coliseum, Noah was looking at the illusory screen displayed to the contenders as the image of the Holy Emperor switched back to the gorgeous Anna that he knew as the Imperial Princess.

He smiled as he saw this scene, his mind working rapidly as he already saw his ticket to quickly insert himself in this Ancient Power as he elevated his strength and looked for the Ruination Core hidden within!
