…!

Ambrose stood up abruptly the moment Noah released the essence of a Cosmic Dao.

A Cosmic Dao!

His eyes flashed with an intense light as a second later, he saw this being actually utilize this essence expertly as a skill was cast with it!

The surrounding miles of the area where Noah's Tyrant Dragon and the Cerulean Warlock were located in suddenly trembled, the earth and skies beginning to crack as if it was a piece of glass, destructive anomalous essence of universal laws beginning to run rampant as the essence of many daos turned wild, threatening to swallow any beings within it as Ambrose called out the name of the ability himself!

"Apocalypse…"

A skill he knew all too well as it was one that he designed, even though what was being displayed right now was a much lesser version of it as its full power could not be displayed with a Great Sage.

Yet...it was still a skill that only he should know!

"What is this…"

RUMBLE!

His expression was cloudy as beside him, Salerno had a serious expression as both of these powerful Hegemonies looked closely at Noah and the terrifying essence of a Cosmic Dao he released.

"It's as if he has studied the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation for thousands of years, his comprehension in it not being low!"

Ambrose's expression became utterly grim as he seemed to have made up his mind when Solerno's words rang out, his cold voice reverberating out.

"I'll give the command for my influenced forces in the Animus Universe to move against the remaining Dragons...I'll spark a war and draw him out of the Bloody Battlefields Galaxy Clusters and have him assassinated by Monarchs or Paragons! If even that fails… Hegemony Dark Shadow will have to directly make a move and break his oath, having to hide from Oathkeeperr and the others just until The Universal Amalgamation is complete…"

…!

A shocking conclusion just moments after he observed his target to actually be such a genius that he had already comprehended a Cosmic Dao at the stage of a Great Sage!

Salerno nodded with a serious expression at this as he voiced out strongly with immense conviction.

"As it was, so it shall be."

At such abstruse words, Ambrose nodded back as he spoke with even more conviction!

"As it was, so it shall be!"

RUMBLE!

Swirls of destiny erupted out thereafter as the tides of time continued to churn...

---

[Apocalypse].

THRUM!

The surroundings shook fearfully as my bright eyes reveled in the shocking destruction I could call forth.

Though I wasn't done as in the next moment [Galactic Devastation] and [Chains of Annihilation] were also cast!

WAA!

All over the scales of my draconic form, a layer of annihilation galaxies tinged with the essence of Ruination appeared, my sheer might causing the air and space around me to creak as all around me, thick black-red chains erupted out while rushing towards the Cerulean Warlock.

A Great Sage ranked 500th in the Slaughter Star Monolith, sure. But could he really stand up against the force of the essence of two Cosmic Daos? Could the difference of 30 Billion something galaxies he had forged not be caught up by the fact that I had both the purification of Ruination and Primordial Essence?!

The answer was that this difference could be breached when such a vast array of things were put together!

RUMBLE!

Even as his blue staff shone with a brilliant light, the Grand and Lesser Daos he used were torn down by the Cosmic Dao Essence that was swirling around in abundance, the shocking effects of [Apocalypse] only increasing as the area around us had turned into molten earth that spewed out scorching dao essence of destruction, Ruination, Annihilation, and many more Daos that I had fully assimilated.

In the skies, space continued to shatter and splinter as even more unstable destructive dao essences thundered out...all of them centered around the Cerulean Warlock as in the midst of all this, the Chains of Annihilation were able to wrap around his legs as they very quickly wrapped all around his body!

…!

His expression was ashen as his mouth was about to open...was it to admit defeat?

But my draconic body had already flashed on top of him as with the might capable of shattering an entire galaxy with a mere punch provided by the exuberant amount of annihilation essence of [Galactic Devastation], my claw smashed into his body as any layers of defense were torn with muscles and bones being turned to paste!

BOOM...SPLAT!

A deadly scene played out within this wondrous red star, yet another enemy lying dead as a pristine red essence leaked out to reinforce my very soul.

This beautiful scene was shown to many, but nobody more important than my main body in the Dark Universe that had a light smile as the scenes of the Primordial Ruination Clone's immense strength were simply too wondrous to not enjoy!

It would also come in handy in the days to come as while the battle in the Slaughter Star Monolith ended, my main body pulled out Valentina's Golden Mirror in the Dark Universe to once more talk with the exquisite Hegemony.

"Ambrose plans to start a war between the Paragons and Monarchs of the Bloodline Races, all to most likely draw me out when he sees that even his machinations in the Slaughter Star Monolith won't work out."

"..."

The dark hair on this ridiculously gorgeous woman that had lived who knew how long cascaded down her shoulders, her expression serious as she looked at me through the mirror with eyes that threatened to swallow anyone whole.

"You hold more Universal Fortune than me. What does destiny tell you?"

Ho? Leaving the decision of it to me? I'll gladly take it!

I glanced at the strings of destiny and fate flowing all around me, pulling on a few of them as my enormous swirling Universal Fortune vibrated all around me.

Let's see.

Just what was in store for the future to come?
