Chapter 519 - You...?!

Noah’s Gaze met the curvaceous Azula that was smiling brightly, her demeanor not at all that of a peak World Rank expert!

"Little 9th, how fortunate that you get to meet everyone before...well, before something grand happens."

Her eyes twinkled with light as she spoke, the 8th Infernal Lord beside her simply nodding as their figures began to descend down towards a spectacular metropolis.

One could feel a few auras that signified Infernal Lords which stood out the strongest, but the signatures of numerous Infernals at the Soul and Domain Rank were abundant.

The 4th Infernal Realm had its own style of architecture, Noah finding it very close to the castles on the 2nd Infernal Realm with a few unique features.

It felt like he was looking at a long forgotten city that lost across the ages. His figure and the figures of the accompanying Infernal Lords were all headed towards a piercingly tall castle, the powerful auras of the other Infernal Lords they could sense being on an expansive terrace of this castle.

The three of them continued down until the view of the terrace became clear to them, their feet landing down as the sight in front of their eyes was startling to say the least.

Three Infernal Lords that were at the Star Forging Realm were bowing with their heads down towards a singular direction, and they remained in this stance even as the seconds passed. These three were the 6th, 5th, and 4th Infernal Lords that normally resided in the Third Infernal Realm!

But this wasn’t the most startling thing, it was that similar to these 3 Infernal Lords, there were another two that stood at the Nebula Realm doing the exact same thing! All of them, no matter their rank, were paying respects to the 1st Infernal Lord that Noah could not even sense the aura of.

When his eyes landed on this Infernal Lord though, he had to come to a complete stop as his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

White hair that fell down her shoulders, sparkling blue eyes that drew everything in her direction. Noah’s surprise didn’t come from the beauty of this being nor was he suddenly smitten, it came from the fact that he had actually seen this face before!

It was a face that he had seen multiple times at that too as his widening eyes watched this 1st Infernal Lord glance towards them in a smile, Azula and the 8th Infernal Lord falling in line and bowing similar to the others as Noah was the only one left dumbfounded.

He used his eyes and mana to confirm and the face remained the same...it was the face of Sophia, the Guide that his Homeworld was using as a representative!

"..."

[What is this...?]

Noah heard the voice of his homeworld in his mind as he almost released an exasperated sigh, this being the question he wanted to ask, and apparently even the System itself did not know!

"You look as if you’ve seen a ghost."

The clear voice that only confirmed Noah’s thoughts rang out as all the boxes were checked in his mind. Same face, same voice, and just a slightly different body that looked a few years older.

The words of the 1st Infernal Lord caused the powerful bowing beings to look over at Noah with annoyed eyes, with the 2nd Infernal Lord being the one to voice out in a commanding tone.

"9th, you should have at least gained the memories on decorum, what are you doing?"

The voice that seemed to be disciplining a child rang out as Noah continued to glance at the smiling woman that he had definitely seen before, her voice ringing out again right before his head bowed down.

"Now now, cut the new Infernal Lord some slack. Rise."

The 1st Infernal Lord waved her hands as the 8 beings rose, falling back and standing in a straight line as they each looked forward with respect.

The only one among the 8 who still had eyes swimming with questions was Noah, his mind communicating with his Homeworld over the last few seconds as unbelievably, it was as stumped as him for the similitude of this being to the one they knew!

Noah directly threw away the stupid thought of it being a coincidence or some random chance as the implications of the appearance of this being were shocking, numerous possibilities coursing through his mind as they led him towards something explosive.

Not giving him time to think, the 1st Infernal Lord began speaking towards the 8 that were standing in front of her with serious faces.

"Tell me now, what is our purpose?"

"Destruction!"

RUMBLE!

Replies erupted out from the 8 Infernal Lord the moment her words finished, even Noah’s lips moving by themselves as the questioning continued.

"When are we permitted to carry out our purpose?"

"Now!"

The blue eyes of the 1st Infernal Lord shone as she continued.

"Why are we meeting at this very moment?"

"..."

Silence descended as nobody had an answer, the eyes of the 1st Infernal Lord squinting as she smiled, her eyes moving across the confused Infernal Lords until they landed on a particular one.

"Naturally, we are gathered here today because of the new Infernal Lord to join our ranks. The one promised by fate...Noah Osmont. Step forward!"

RUMBLE!

The words had a strong pull with them as Noah felt his legs inadvertently moving, his figure stepping away from the line of Infernal Lords as he moved forward, getting close to the smiling being whose realm was the highest of all who were here!

Azula and the other Infernal Lords looked at this scene with stupefaction as it continued to play out. The 1st Infernal Lord looked over Noah up and down as she nodded and then put her hand on his shoulder, Noah feeling the weight of the world pressing down on him as her voice rang out again.

"Now which of you can tell me the importance of the 9th Infernal Lord?"

"..."

A stark silence was all that met the question as the 1st Infernal Lord brilliantly smiled, her mouth opening once more as a shocking scene continued to play out in the Fourth Infernal Realm!
