The Ancient Powers were only the clusters of power houses within the Dark Universe as they resided within Galactic Filaments, and they only took over a minute small portion of such a vast area!

A majority of the millions of Galaxies within the Universe were similar to Noah's- isolated and never having even heard about other Galaxies or Ancient Powers.

Even with Noah traveling a negligible portion of the Universe in the past weeks, he came across over thousands of Galaxies that were spread out far apart!

At this moment, he had commanded his Cosmic Treasure to cast an absolute skill that covered this entire Universe that even he himself had barely discovered the edge of!

The wave of red essence traveled out rapidly as it covered many light years every millisecond, the Fractures that were spreading out across the affected area of the Universe all fading the moment this red light passed through them!

This was because it was the command under the skill of ! The deadly Ruination Essence could do nothing but obey the will of the Cosmic Treasure and its Master.

So the light of the Cosmic Treasure continued to cross the hundreds of thousands of light years quickly!

The Dark Universe was vast, being over 100 BILLION Light Years before one could come across the edge of the observable Universe and find themselves faced with a never ending Ruination Sea.

Within it, the Galactic Filaments like the ones that made up Ancient Powers were many, but lone Galaxies spreading throughout were even more numerous!

How many of them fell under the decimating damage of the Sea of Ruination was unknown, but millions of Galaxies were kept safe and sound as the light of a Cosmic Treasure wiped out all the essence of Ruination.

The light covered 10 billion light years.

Then 50 billion.

Ultimately...over 100 Billion light years of the Dark Universe glimmered with the light of the Cosmic Treasure that was using the mana reserves of a being that had an infinite amount of!

RUMBLE

Noah still sat on the Ruination Throne as he experienced a unique feeling. He didn't feel drained of energy or anything as to him, it didn't even feel like he cast an ability that affected the whole Universe!

[All the ruptures caused by Ruination Essence have been closed, with the Universe protected from the Ruination Sea outside.]

Noah heard the shocking words of the Cosmic Treasure as he smiled.

"That easy?"

[That easy, Master. Though the kids that tried using me before to cause a portion of the Ruination Sea to rip apart this Universe from its Primordial Cosmos created a situation where even if the Ruination Essence outside does not ravage this Universe, it still does not have the essence to sustain itself.]

RUMBLE!

A shocking truth was released from the Cosmic Treasure as it called Sages and Great Sages kids along the way.

Noah's expression was thoughtful as the light of Destiny and many other Dao Essence swirled in his mind.

"What sustains the Primordial Cosmos?"

[...the Primordial Essence. I know what you are thinking, Master, but it will be nearly impossible to sustain this Universe with Ruination Essence. It was born from Primordial Essence that is of a different nature.]

[The only solution is to reconnect the Universe back to the Primordial Cosmos- like a piece of a puzzle completing the whole picture. Only then can the Universe be rejuvenated by its Primordial Essence. As of right now, the reason why it could no longer protect itself from Ruination Essence is because the reserves of Primordial Essence sustaining it have reduced greatly the past tens of thousands of years. Even now, after my protection from the Ruination Sea...this Universe will only last a few hundred years before it breaks down entirely!]

RUMBLE!

The cold truth from the Cosmic Treasure would make anyone despair, but Noah only had a light smile as he tapped his finger upon his throne.

"A few hundred years…"

His eyes were filled with an intense light as he thought of many things!

He was thinking of the terrifying expert he had just killed, knowing that the moment the Dark Universe was reconnected to the Primordial Cosmos, the beings within it would be alerted as the fate thereafter was something left in the air.

But the Dark Universe could not just continue floating in the Ruination Sea as it needed Primordial Essence as its source of energy! Even when Noah's thoughts jumped to using Ruination Essence as the replacement, the Cosmic Treasure denied this possibility!

His eyes shimmered with light as he looked at the shining Cosmic Treasure that contained an image of innumerable Galaxies within it.

Through their connection, he sent information about his Infinite Galaxy to this newly reborn Treasure while he spoke.

"What if I change the nature of the Universe? What if I devour all the galaxies within it? What if I locate whatever the core of this Universe is and I form a connection with it, and through my connection to the Infinite Galaxy...change the source of the essence of the Universe to accept Ruination?"

RUMBLE!

A shocking idea!

A shocking assertion!

[I...well damn. I mean, maybe?]

Even the Cosmic Treasure had entered a state of stupor at the domineering claim as Noah nodded with a smiling expression.

"Good! We have much work to do!"

RUMBLE!

The shocking Cosmic Treasure was absorbed back into his chest as he looked at the nearby chaotic void that had the listless body of the Spirit Race that felt like they had lost their souls, looking even deeper into the Spirit Domains that contained who knew how many more of these beings.

The presence of the being outside the Universe had disappeared as the power of this Race of beings...fell by more than 99%!

A debate on the fate of these beings passed through Noah's mind as with a heavy heart and a sigh, numerous Ruination Galaxy Spirit Bombs bloomed in front of him. They thundered towards the listless remaining army of the Spirit Race as for Noah, there was still too many unknowns with the enemy that had its mind take over these beings.

His heart was heavy as he watched the destructive scenes that played out next with the explosions of the Ruination Galaxy Spirit Bombs, waving his hands to collect the loot after a few minutes passed!

WAP!

He disappeared from the chaotic void as his Ruination Throne appeared inside the Infinite Galaxy. It was on a starry space where the Legions were placed in waiting for word, all of their eyes turning towards Noah when he appeared!

They looked at the fearsome looking being on the throne as they heard his words reverberate out.

"We were victorious!"

RUMBLE!

It was but a few words. But they were words that contained a great deal of information!

"OHHHH!"

"VICTORY!"

"For the Dark Universe!"

"For the Tyrannical Emperor!"

THRUM!

Reverberations began spreading throughout as shocking celebrations erupted, the Sword Emperor shaking with emotions as Morgana was only staring at Noah with continued shock and disbelief on the side.

"Our Master's dream…!"

The emotional Sword Emperor was surrounded by his Sword Kings as they looked upon the enthroned Noah with shining eyes full of wonder.

Barbatos and the other Harbingers of Sin came close to celebrate as further away from this area in the stellar space, a wondrous Blue Slime was upgrading to become a Half-a-Step Great Sage as the two clones Noah had absorbing Dao and Assimilation Crystals were in front of it watching the process for when he did it himself!

He released the other 7 pets from their merged state with him as they would join for the coming celebrations, but he had a great deal of things to do himself as his attention was turned towards the Cosmic Treasure.

He had only looked at its feature of that stopped the advancement of the destruction of Ruination Essence into the Dark Universe, just how monstrous were its other features?!

It had many features he could use and explore, but his heart couldn't take it as he had to peek at one that he couldn't believe just from its name.

:: From destruction comes rebirth. With the exception of very few things, any item placed within Ruination will be deconstructed and then duplicated.

"..."

It truly was just as ridiculous as he thought!
