Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 626 - You see, I actually wasn't that OP before I

The river of time waited for no one as it moved along, the workings of fate continuing as they should as events perpetuated one after another across the unknown Universe.

In the expansive Nexus Galaxy where a certain Origin Embryo was heading towards, a certain event was occurring as it was obscured from the eyes of many.

A dashing young man was talking to a shadowy figure in front of him.

"How many new participants rose this round?"

"We have gathered information on 443 unaccounted new Blessed that have signed up and are moving across Imperial Citadel, Master Andrews."

The shadowy figure brimming with power replied as the young man called Andrews nodded, his gaze turning cold as he sent out shocking words.

"The Blessed Imperial Selection this year is much different compared to previous ones, where the Imperial Adjudicator is actually allowing the Imperial Princess to join. We cannot have too many rugrats filling in the count and surrounding the only daughter of the Imperial Adjudicator if something dangerous were to happen in this selection."

"You mean...?"

The shadow figure asked hesitatingly as he foresaw the extreme measure his Young Master wanted to take for the being that was normally hidden behind layers of protection and guards who would actually be participating in the yearly Blessed Imperial Selection that allowed one to become a high Imperial!

"Yes, thin out the coming participants. We shall act as the first layer of the Trial to thin out unworthy beings. Get rid of the ones with trash Traits that are even thinking of dirtying the presence of the Imperial Adjudicator’s daughter."

RUMBLE!

A command was given out as the shadowy figure only paused for a second and then nodded, disappearing thereafter as he sent out word to the others and went to undertake the task they were given!

In his mind though, he was shaking his head disappointedly at the commands of the young master that also chose to participate in this Blessed Imperial Selection because of the news that the Imperial Princess would be participating.

His young master was going out of his way to harm others just because he didn’t want what he considered weak beings with trash traits to be around the Princess when the Selection Trials were underway, when the Imperial Princess herself most likely did not even know his young master or even spare a thought about him before!

But since he came from a prominent family in the Imperial Citadel, he could command guards at the Peak of the Nebula Realm or even low-tier Controllers! The shadowy figure sighed again as he weaved across the brightly lit areas of the Imperial Citadel, a paper appearing in his hands as he checked off and crossed multiple names based on their Traits.

The Imperial Citadel earned its name as it was at the very center of power of the Brightgold Monarchy Realm, this ’citadel’ alone being larger than most continents or even high ranking Realms.

In one of the parts of this city, multiple shadowy figures followed the commands of their Young Master as they tracked down the newly appearing Blessed who planned to join the Blessed Imperial Selection trials, taking out the ones with weak Traits as they would not even be able to make it to the starting point of this yearly Trial!

"What...!"

"Why?!"

Pained cries silently rang out silently in the night as some fell down as they were walking across the sparkling streets, others not opening their eyes from their meditation, and some being stopped in the middle of their meals!

This shocking event continued in the shadows of the Imperial Citadel as one of the shadowy figures looked at one last name that was crossed out on the list and matched it to the being he was tailing currently.

[Alexander- Auxiliary Trait, Alpha Rank.]

The lowest rank of a Trait, and one that wasn’t offensive or defensive at that! The shadowy figure sighed as he tailed this unsuspecting being, and the moment he passed through a near Alley, a gravitational force suddenly pulled him towards this dark alley as the shadowy figure finished his given mission for the night!

His bloody hand that pierced through this shocked Blessed’s body was pulled out as he saw the light gradually disappearing from their eyes, the figure disappearing in a conflagration of shadows as he moved.

Such was life! Such was the fate of those weak, as their lives could be altered on the whims of someone slightly stronger than them!

But the river of fate worked in mysterious ways as at this same time, an Origin Embryo that had been streaking across the Chaotic Void for days had finally reached its destination, piercing through the boundaries of the Nexus Galaxy without a hitch as it silently and grandly entered.

This Origin Embro continued streaking silently across the vast space of the Nexus Galaxy, ignoring the many Realms and worlds spread around it as it searched, before waves of golden light covered it as it came to a stop and then began shooting towards a specific direction!

It was towards a certain Brightgold Monarchy Realm that was publicly known as the largest Realm in the Nexus Galaxy, the Realm where the ruling force of Imperials that had consolidated power throughout the Nexus Galaxy resided!

This imperceptible streak of light thundered forth silently as a unique power wrapped around it, where even the Nexus Galaxy itself could not feel anything out of sorts at this moment.

It easily pierced through the barrier of the Brightgold Monarchy Realm as it continued forward, seemingly set towards a specific direction as it passed numerous continents in this expansive realm and went towards the Central one.

The Origin Embryo actually continued towards the Imperial Citadel that was bustling with activity and power, the largest area of this Brightgold Monarchy Realm as well as the area where powerful Imperials resided!

It only stopped momentarily above this continental Citadel before it zoomed towards a certain section of it, an area currently clouded in the darkness of the night as it appeared in an alleyway where a being was rapidly nearing death.

The Origin Embryo stopped above this being that had been dealt a deathly blow not too long ago by a shadow figure, a golden wave of fate erupting out silently before the Origin Embryo drilled towards the dying being!

RUMBLE!

As if his body had received an enormous shock, the figure began convulsing vigorously as the dying light of his Origin was rapidly revived while fusing with something else, this process being completed in a split second as the figure became completely still thereafter.

"..."

OOOOM

A golden light appeared to cover the figure at this moment as it floated a few meters towards the sky, this golden light permeating throughout the body as it healed all injuries before carefuly bringing it towards the ground again...but this time it was standing on its own two feet!

"Ahhhh..."

A deep breath was taken by the rejuvenated figure as his eyes opened, streaks of blue and gold-colored lights coursing within these eyes as he looked at his arms while his face was that full of wonder.

"Hmm, Alexander?"

The words were more of a confirmation than a question as imperceptible changes continued to occur in the body of the being that was marked for death, someone else taking over this being’s identity as silently, Noah had arrived in the Nexus Galaxy without any issues!
