Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 579: Racing to 100%!

While carrying many thoughts and emotions, Noah decided to forge towards the path he was following as he spent some time to resolve the issue of Athena and get her up to speed on all the wondrous things in the Infinite Realm.

After that, he disappeared from the Infinite Realm just as quickly as he had arrived, heading towards the Fourth Realm of Hell as he knew that time was a factor in what was to come!

While he did this, he checked all the things he had gained in the recent battle aside from the implosion of Fate Lines. The next best thing was the Skill Points, where the ability [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] shined for the first time as he actually obtained 354 Skill Points from the 7 Star Forgers he had taken down.

This meant he had recovered all the skill points he used to obtain the skill, and had now gained another 54 to use as he wished!

The usefulness of [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] would only continue to increase from here as he got back on track to obtaining more and more skill points.

Aside from the Star Forging Cores that he had already given out most of to his subordinates, the Skill Books weren't anything worth talking about as they did not even come close to matching the effectiveness of the skills under his skill trees.

It was these same skill trees that he had actually made a decision about, where he knew he had to narrow his focus greatly in order to have a powerful enough skill tree to stand against Aldrich. The battle against this being that he thought would not come for weeks or months seemed like it would occur in a matter of days, or even shorter!

Thus, he most definitely needed to have at least one skill tree at the Nebula Rank before that time, and he was of course going with the only skill tree he had advanced to the Star Forging Rank so far- The Terror of Aether!

His next best options were the skill trees revolving around Fate and Chaos, but they were far behind at this point as he placed his focus on the skill tree that was only a stage away. In an ideal situation, he would have strived to have his skill tree that relied on the Chaos element near its peak to face the fate that Aldrich utilized, but the power of a Terror seemed to be just as deadly if not more.

Even in the Infinite Realm, Fate and Chaos were unlocked first, with Aether being unlocked after! This led Noah to believe that there was something unique about this element, its tier maybe even being elevated higher than the other two!

So even if he had to utilize some skill points in order to bring the proficiency to a required level in order to upgrade the Terror of Aether skill tree, he would do it! His gaze was sharp as his figure appeared in the skies of the Fourth Infernal Realm.

When he appeared in this unique realm, he could actually feel a sense of calmness amidst all of this, his gaze going towards the powerful energy signatures in the ancient metropolis cities as his figure descended down.

He could sense the aura of the 1st Infernal Lord in the clearing behind the enormous archaic castle he had arrived in before, his figure lying down on this clearing as he saw multiple beings turn their eyes towards him.

All the Infernal Lords were here, with the 1st Infernal Lord looking towards him with a smile as she pointed to a group of bound beings in front of them!

Noah's eyes focused on these figures as he sensed the strong fate essence from them, each of these figures holding varying amounts of Fate Lines as they were the Celestial Commanders that the Infernal Lords captured before the events that occurred today took place.

This was the objective that the 1st Infernal Lord had given to all the Lords some time ago, and Noah would reap the rewards of it now as he would actually be able to complete his comprehension of the Law of Fate through it!

"Fate works in mysterious ways. Even I could not have predicted for things to play out this way."

The melodious voice of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out as Noah activated Apathy while going towards the bound Celestial Commanders. He knew what he had to in order to be able to stand against Aldrich, and he stepped forward as he claimed the hundreds of thousands of Fate Lines he needed to achieve 100% of law comprehension in fate!

On the other side of the Novus Galaxy, Aldrich was floating in the skies of the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm peacefully as he glanced down beneath him.

If one glanced at the Sanctum at this moment, they would notice the golden landscapes to be bathed in a bloody red color, a horrific scene of millions dying unexpected deaths present in the Celestial Realm!

Aldrich had actually continued his cruel actions after he made up his mind, continuing to reap the lives of the force he had created for hundreds of years because he now saw them as useless!

Keeping them alive only meant that they would continue to be fuel for an abominable enemy that actually advanced through the law of fate as easily as one could, while dismembering the organization he created and reaping their lives for himself actually granted him more Fate Lines himself, where he actually neared his goal at this very moment.

As he forever changed the fates of millions of powerful Celestials and influenced both the Light Expanse and Dark Expanse because of it, hundreds of Fate Lines were descending towards him every time he reaped the lives of more Celestials that he commanded to retreat to the Celestial Realm.

RUMBLE!

Another Legion entered and appeared in the Sanctum as Aldrich waved his hands one more, a bone-chilling light being carried with it as all the arriving Celestials were killed even before they knew what happened, more blood dying the normally golden Sanctum.

The cold light of apathy and madness in Aldrich's eyes only continued to grow stronger as he saw fewer than 10,000 Fate Lines remaining before he achieved 10 million, his gaze shining with powerful light as he continued to destroy the organization he created with sweat, blood, and tears over the years in order to achieve his own goals!
