Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

Noah's eyes landed on the Sages of the Spirit Race as they constricted tightly.

It was because of the fact that he counted 10 of them!

These beings had humanoid forms, but their bodies were incorporeal as they almost looked like Spirits of the Dead!

But the Sages of the Spirit Race were much more refined as each of them held a shimmering blue crown floating atop their heads, these crowns screaming their status as big bosses while they grandly floated in the chaotic void.

Seeing their composure even while facing off such an enormous force, he looked at them deeply as he wanted to discern exactly what they were!

Yet...he actually found nothing! Noah's eyes trembled as for the first time ever since he obtained the Protagonist Trait, something was actually blocked from him when his eyes landed on all the Sages of the Spirit Race.

His eyes then turned to the Entities and GALAXY experts of the Spirit Race as with them, he could discern their information with no issues! Beings like Sister Gold that stood behind the Sages...he could see their information just fine when he utilized Eyes of Truth.

But as for these Sages?

[Spirit Race Sage] :: -----------...

[Spirit Race Sage] :: ----------...

For each of them, all 10 of them...he found nothing!

It was a truly curious case as he would have wondered what the reason was and spent a great deal of time on it in the past, but as he now carried a tremendous force of power and Legions of beings behind him, he cared not as he raised his voice towards the Spirit Race in a domineering manner!

"If I ask nicely, will you just hand the Ruination Cores to me?"

"..."

His voice only received black expressions from the Sages of the Spirit Race as the one at the very forefront spoke clearly, the two forces in a stand off as they could erupt at any time.

"Handing over the Ruination Cores to you would interfere with our plans, so it cannot be done, Child."

The voice was extremely condescending and arrogant, akin to an adult talking to a young child! As if the voice had lived countless more times than the being they talked to, as if they knew more than the other party by a large amount!

Noah's eyes shone at this sort of tone as he nodded, vibrant red essence erupting from him as his aura began to rise towards the peak.

"And the reason why you all do not wish for the Dark Universe to rejoin the Primordial Cosmos?"

A deafening silence appeared as even the Sages of the Spirit Race had not expected Noah to be so straightforward. They looked amongst each other as wondrous smiles formed on their lips, the one at the forefront replying lightly.

"A fairly simple reason, but it is not time for you to know it as again...it shall interfere with the plan!"

…!

"Plans, plans, plans...in the face of ultimate strength, what do your plans amount to?"

RUMBLE

Noah's eyes turned cold as his Throne of Ruination moved forward alone, unhindered!

Even the Emperor Penguin stayed behind as the Throne only carried Noah and the Blue Slime situated on it towards the terrifying figures of 10 Spirit Race Sages and all the innumerable beings behind them.

He went forward as he came close to these beings because with over 15% Purification...he didn't fear them!

With his body rumbling with the strength of a Cosmic Dao, he didn't consider these Sages to be anything much with the aura of multiple Grand Daos Swirling around them.

So his magisterial throne crossed the few miles distance of the Chaotic Void as his eyes that blazed with luminous red light actually came to gaze upon all the Sages of the Spirit Race up close, with the throne only being a few inches away from them!

WAAA!

A sense of majesty and wonder flooded out from this scene, Noah elevating his throne to be a few inches higher as the eyes of the Spirit Race Sages had to rise to meet him.

Neither side moved at this shocking scene as far in the back, Morgana was tugging on the Sword Emperor's sleeve in shock at the domineering scene!

Even Noah's own forces were shocked as the innumerable numbers of the Spirit Race also floated still. Not a single move was made as the Emperor on the Ruination Throne stared at the 10 Sages.

The Spirit Race Sage at the very forefront glanced towards Noah with a light smile as he spoke.

"There is no path where you win."

THRUM!

"We have accounted for everything, every possible path that could be taken and anything that could go wrong. Through all of it, our plan succeeds."

…!

Noah's eyes remained placid at these words, his bright eyes looking at these beings from up close as he found them truly detestable.

His throne thrummed with Ruination Essence as his body now had tendrils of such Essence coursing through it, his full strength had the boost of over 15% Purification exploding out!

The Sages of the Spirit Race stared at this scene silently as their own bodies began to explode with power, each of the 10 showing strength that shockingly equaled to a Sage that had reached the cap of 10% Purification while utilizing Primordial Essence!

"You think you have accounted for anything and everything...but you have not truly accounted for me."

THRUM!

Noah raised his head arrogantly upon the throne as Ruination Essence exploded out, threatening to swallow and destroy everything in its sight!

"OOOOOH"

The Legions behind him saw this scene as they roared out grandly, their bodies glimmering with light as they pierced through the chaotic void.

DING!

The staff of the Nether Lich Emperor smashed down onto the chaotic void as a sound that ushered the advancement of the Undead Legion commenced!

OOOOOH!

Tiamat, Jörmungandr, the Golden Crow...all of Noah's pets shone with an immense crimson brilliance as the clones already merged with them, their bodies releasing terrifying strength at the level of a Sage as they thundered forward!

The glittering bodies of the innumerable numbers of Spirit Race before them whose weakest were in the Low Tier GALAXY and the strongest were Sages...they seemed like the most pristine loot they could come across as they charged forward with vigor!

The Final War for the Dark Universe had officially begun!
