It was an extremely unique situation where even though the authority of an Antiquity had disappeared, these Hegemonies still didn’t enter the boundary of the Universe as if another invisible barrier existed that prevented them from doing so!
Of course, it was the presence of the 5 clones of the Blue Slimes that were currently releasing waves of power and essence across the Chthonian Universe, the Star of Conquest above them and on the Apex Paragon shining brilliantly as their auras pristinely emanated out.
This was power.
This was might!
Being capable of causing an entire group of Hegemonies to not even dare to step into the same Universe as a being that had just advanced to the Realm of a Hegemony minutes ago.
Minutes after the advancement...they also butchered another being that had lived millions of more years more than them!
Ah!
Within the Chthonian Universe, Noah was focused on gaining fealty at this moment, the terrible waves of power and prompts were appearing on the few quintillion Chthonians within this universe as with his display of power, they all acquiesced.
As he gained the recognition and fealty of more and more beings, he gradually approached the same Realm that his summon had already reached, the number of Marks of Antiquity he held currently surpassing 22 million!
He was more than halfway there as the number still increased, many calculations crossing through his mind as a few minutes passed.
WAA!
The eyes of his Primordial Clone then blazed open as they released gorgeous crimson-gold light, uttering forth coldly.
"All the quintillions of Chthonians have pledged fealty, now..."
The moment his words finished, even more mana flew out of him as if he was uncomfortable if he wasn’t spending insane units of mana constantly, this time the essence being that of the spatial type as it flew out faster than light to wrap the quintillions of beings that had just pledged their Fealty to him!
He located them all nigh instantaneously with them being his Vassals, the bodies of enormous Chthonians of all types being wrapped by this silver spatial light.
First was them becoming Vassals, and thereafter it was transporting them into the Dark Universe so that Noah could go towards the goal of upgrading the Universal Core!
He required 100 Quintillion existences, and he would obtain them without fail within the Primordial Cosmos.
In the case of the Chthonians, he had already begun utilizing the [Architecture] feature of the Universal Core that had moved on from just being able to design buildings and landmass to now being able to design entire star systems and galaxies.
In preparation for bringing these Chthonians into the Dark Universe, his main body had already been using this feature in the past day to design enormous Galaxies and star systems that fit with the Chthonians!
The glorious Universal Core simply pulled in the boundless mana and essence it was able to call upon from Noah as things were shocking done with utter ease.
As these Chthonians were transported into another Universe...they would find that it doesn’t look all that different from their old homes!
"..."
The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of the surging essence around Noah’s body.
Outside the boundary of the Chthonian Universe, Great Old Nazzagath watched as those he had influenced or lorded over in the past pledging fealty to someone else and even being taken away thereafter.
Towards such a thing...he did nothing as he simply looked at such a scene with a reminiscent expression!
His bright eyes shone a bright golden luster of destiny as he didn’t stop Noah’s actions, this being’s monstrous form actually being the first to begin walking towards the boundary as he looked to be the only one brave enough to enter!
His Chthonian form of an enormous crimson star shaped monstrosity with purple flames constantly burning throughout its vibrant fleshly mass seamlessly passed through the Universal barrier as he entered into the Universe he called his home.
Unlike others, he wasn’t fearful. After all, he held the moniker of a Great Old One, the Star of Destruction, and the Hegemony of Venerable Chaos!
RUMBLE!
Towards his speedy descent, Noah’s eyes only raised up to watch this being slightly as he continued with his work of teleporting all the remaining existences within this Universe into his Dark Universe.
The star shaped Chthonian traveled a myriad of light years as he soon arrived near Noah and the figures of the 5 Blue Slimes and all the other Animus Summons. His focus was on the Blue Slimes as his eyes flashed with a regal purple light, his voice resounding out.
"Hegemony of Devouring...it is my honor to be among the many that witnessed your birth!"
WAA!
The body of Blue Slimes released a lustrous blue light as he was given a title from this ancient Hegemony, and it truly fit him so as he specialized in the aspect of devouring! The pressure that the Blue Slime was releasing eased up when it came to this being after such a compliment as the Great Old Nazzagath then turned towards Noah.
Towards the being that actually controlled a terrifying Hegemony!
"You’re taking them to a safe place."
...!
He spoke slowly, but he was naturally speaking of the few Quintillions of existences that Noah had just snatched away.
He also spoke as if he was sure of it, causing Noah to turn his Cthulhu form towards him as he gave a light nod while wrapping up the last few trillions of beings. The Great Old Nazzagath nodded at this as he didn’t question what his own light of destiny told him, simply questioning again.
"What will you do now?"
"..."
A simple question, but it was one with immense implications!
The essence coming from Noah was reeled in at this moment as he finished his work, leaving an empty Universe behind as he turned towards the questioning ancient being- the only inhabitant of the Chthonian Universe that wasn’t taken away by him.
"Chronos and whatever Antiquity he called forth are getting desperate...with the descent of the Antiquity not being too far away."
RUMBLE!
His gaze was filled with power and might as he rose while waving his hands, causing the disappearance of the other Animus Summons and 4 clones of the Blue Slime as only he and one other Blue Slime Clone remained.
"We only have a time limit of a day, so I will be taking it upon myself to decimate the remaining Universal Constructs and any Hegemonies standing in my way until the descent of this Antiquity is stopped."
...!
A glorious answer to a simple question, the figure of the Great Old Nazzagath trembling as he stared at the unbound confidence and demeanor of this Apex Paragon that seemed above that of any Hegemonies!
This being...wasn’t even at the Universal Realm, and yet the way he carried himself was as if he was even beyond it in power!
Ah!
