Chapter 1043 - A Mere Glimpse Of Antiquity! I
The Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos had given 100 Seeds of Chaos to the Hegemony of Necromancy, and he had gone to the Automaton Universe where Noah's subordinates were moving to give a hundred more to the Mechanical Hegemony.
The races of mechanical beings within the vast Automaton Universe were more closely interconnected as there would even be entire galaxies where a single central machine mass produced the Androids or Automaton Sentinels. Naturally, the Paragons moving throughout were much more interconnected as well, the number ingesting the Seeds of Chaos and becoming Incarnations also being 20 for the first wave that the Mechanical Hegemony sent forward!
The Android and Automaton Sentinel Paragons to arrive on the battlefield had shown immense battle power as the Clones of Emperor Penguin, Anna, the Sword Emperor...the clones of many of Noah's subordinates were wiped out before the battlefield was brought under control by no other beings than Noah's own Animus Summons.
Being connected to Noah, each of them could display the Cosmic Dao of Ruination when his clones fused with them, his summons being the only combatants that could withstand the robotic Incarnations of Chaos that utilized Lasers filled with the essence of Extinction and nuclear photon bombs that blew apart entire regions a few seconds in the past and future as they utilized the Dao of Chronos to land sure hit attacks!
Only Noah's summons could handle them at this moment, and even they were put on the defensive for the first few minutes of the battle as they alone kept the attention of 20 Android and Automaton Sentinel Incarnations of Chaos. That is...until Noah underwent the process of Emergence and obtained a brand new Cosmic Dao..
A glorious set of events unfolded thereafter, but we actually only need to focus on a single one.
It was the actions of a certain being that was even declared a taboo in the Primordial Cosmos, a being that could disrupt certain rules that very few could even imagine breaking!
RUMBLE!
In the vastness of existence, there were certain absolute laws and rules that held everything in place- things that existed to make possible a semblance of balance in the wide expanse of chaos.
An example of this was the concept of Cosmic Daos, and how they could only be obtainable through certain methods as they held extremely heavy restrictions around them!
For Noah to be able to bring to fruition the [Cosmic Dao Essence Integration and Emergence] ability, he utilized the quantifiable essence that he gained from reaping the lives of billions of other existences- the 130 Billion skill points...to bring this ability to fruition.
It was a hard and terrifying number to wrap one's head around, but it gave Noah a backdoor to bend the rules and give him the capability to obtain Cosmic Daos in a relatively smooth manner.
But...there existed other beings that had the potential to be even more terrifying than Noah.
Beings that possessed ridiculous abilities innately as they could overturn the balance of many things...and it just so happened that one of such beings was contracted to Noah!
RUMBLE!
The cerulean blue eyes of the childish figure of the Universal Emperor Slime hid in the folds of space as he watched the scenes of the shocking power of the Incarnations of Chaos- Android and Automaton Sentinel Paragons that had swallowed a portion of the Origin Essence of a Universal Hegemony.
This Blue Slime had a skill unique to its race and its race alone, a skill that made them existences with terrifying potential! It was of course, their ability of <Universal Devouring> that was starkly different from the [Devouring] that the Sin of Gluttony held, so different that they were many classes apart!
<<Universal Devouring>> :: Any life form that is devoured will be fully assimilated seamlessly as their abilities, Realm, Law Comprehensions, Dao Comprehensions, and anything else within their existence will be obtained. This is an ability unique to the Universal Emperor Slimes.
This was the description of the skill that Noah had read when he first contracted with the Blue Slime, and it remained the same at this point in time as it held wondrous implications when he gazed at the Incarnations of Chaos in this Automaton Universe.
Their bodies glimmered with a metallic glint as the Automaton Sentinel Paragons were massive, their faces being a blank metal canvas that shone with a deadly luster. The Automaton Android had humanoid bodies that would change every so often to reveal deadly weapons hidden throughout.
They battled with the other Animus Summons as the assassin hidden in the dark was ready to make a move.
The Universal Emperor Slime looked at these existences with a hungry gaze that could only be satiated after something was devoured! And the chance for this had arrived as a brand new Cosmic Dao had just landed on Noah's lap.
One of Noah's clones was fused to the body of the blue slime as he wondered, just what results would come out of this creature utilizing <Universal Devouring>?
As the skill description stated, would it truly do what it said? Was the innate ability of this Blue Slime that terrifying?!
It was a question that had to be answered, so the master and summon moved forward as they instantly appeared behind an Automaton Sentinel, the small hands of the Blue Slime waving mystically as he was the first of the Summons to use the essence of Chronos through Noah and cast a [Temporal Halt]!
BZZZT!
From the bodies of Tiamat, Calamity Bear...and all the other summons, the glorious luster of the essence of Chronos also erupted out as they targeted the other 19 Incarnations of Chaos.
In front of the Blue Slime, a gorgeous color of purple and red erupted out around the body of the Automaton Sentinel. Its figure creaked and shook powerfully as the essence of Chronos had already begun to erupt from it as well, but the Blue Slime only needed barely a second of this being staying in place for him to do what he wanted.
WAA!
A glimmer of blue shone as the body of the blue slime ballooned rapidly, instantly covering the enormous figure of the Automaton Sentinel Incarnation of Chaos that held within it...a portion of an Origin Essence of a Hegemony!
Something that Noah nor this Blue Slime would have ever had the chance to even come across if the Goliath had not done what he did!
The Sentinel's red eyes merely shook as its senses told it of a horrendous future that it could not stop.
<<Universal Devouring>>
WAP!
…!
A bright blue light shone out.
An Incarnation of Chaos disappeared.
The childish body of a blue haired boy reappeared calmly in the void of space as a second later...something even more terrifying was born!
From its body, there was the eruption of the unstable auras of the essence of the Cosmic Daos of Chronos...Extinction...Phantasm...all of the Dao Essences present in the Seeds of Chaos that the Incarnations ingested.
All of them. All of them without question!
…!
