Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1109 - To Be, Or Not To Be I

"You all...gave me a lot of trouble."

…!

Like a thunderclap descending down, the voice jolted everyone as their eyes were forced to focus on the being that had erupted out of the Universal Construct!

His dark hair fell to his shoulders as his blue eyes illuminated the surroundings a cerulean color, his body enclosed by a black robe that screamed power and regality.

The cerulean planetary-sized eyes moved faster than light as they took in everything, landing on the bodies of the Blue Slime as they lingered here with interest before they quickly locked on to the figure of the Oathkeeper!

The existence that had Primordial Essence practically leaking out of him as he held a Cosmic Treasure on one hand a Sword of Primordial Essence on the other.

The Antiquity saw one of the most important things he had to gain from this trip as the instant he locked onto the Oathkeeper's figure, his hand that eclipsed all of them began to move forward!

He had just arrived as without wasting even a second, he made a move and thrust out a palm forward!

Due to its sheer size, it didn't seem like it was just going for the Oathkeeper as it looked like an enormous palm that would smash into every single one of the Hegemonies in the surroundings.

At such a juncture, the black hole on the Goliath's head shone vibrantly as his voice actually echoed out in a fearless fashion towards the Antiquity.

"Great Usurper! The condition was for us to be shown the path towards Antiquity...and the guarantee of our lives!"

RUMBLE!

"None of us here can face death under your hands...the moment you do so would mean revoking the rights of your descent!"

…!

Even with Chronos gone, the Goliath knew enough to voice this out fearlessly as the enormous palm of the Antiquity...did not pause.

"Death...huh?"

The foreign Antiquity spoke out in a mighty tone as his eyes concealed many things.

The number of Universes he had to burn to get here. The sacrifices he had to make. Ultimately...his plans for this Cosmos after he took the Cosmic Treasure before him!

All of them reflected on his eyes before his eyes as he found it laughable that these beings before him would even talk about death at this moment!

"To live or die...to be, or not to be...a famous poet once said these words. But...when it comes to you all, death is much too simple, and it is not the only path!"

RUMBLE!

His words echoed out as they meant nothing to Oathekeeper and the others, but to Noah...it was like a clap of thunder smashing down!

'What the fuck?'

His mind buzzed with shock and awe as he heard something that should have only stemmed from his homeworld, that only a being that had lived on a certain blue planet should be able to know!

A famous poet! To be or not to be!

He knew these words all too well as he very quickly linked them to something back in his homeworld, and he didn't think such specific things could be heard from others that did not live and experience certain events in the same world as him!

How did...a monstrous being not even from the same Universe or Cosmos as him be able to utter such words?! How did an Antiquity that stemmed from some vast Cosmos far away speak so freely about such things?

Even as his mind buzzed with questions, he still made his moves silently as the Antiquity continued without pause.

"Something that you all don't know is that aside from life and death, aside from being or not being...there is also an in-between. There is also...Subjugation."

Ah!

The gaze of the Goliath and the Hegemonies around him turned ashen at such words, replaying them over and over again in their minds as it was not something they expected.

Aside from life and death...there were other states they could fall into!

This...was not something that these Hegemonies accounted for.

The figure of the Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos shook at such a reality as he continued to watch the extending hand.

"Life is filled with pain and misery, with you all constantly struggling to make ends meet as you search for what? Power? Antiquity?"

…!

"After Antiquity, then what? You will always come to find out there is a higher power, and then there is an even higher power after the one you thought was the highest. So why struggle so much? Why not...just allow me to give you peace? Why not allow me to subjugate you all?"

WAA!

The voice was mesmerizing and filled with authority, making the listening Hegemonies fall into a slumber as their eyes turned hazy!

Even the pulsing black hole that was on the Goliath turned dimmer at this moment.

The palm of the Antiquity came ever closer as he spoke, almost reaching their bodies as its true target actually began to be lifted off and fly towards this palm!

The body of the Oathkeeper...began to fly towards the hands of the Antiquity as the Cosmic Treasure within his hands glimmered brightly.

Then there was Noah and the Blue Slime.

Under the authority of the Apocryphal Antiquity that Noah could barely access from the Blue Slime, he was able to stay awake as he watched this terrifying being speak while moving his enormous hand towards the shaking figure of the Oathkeeper!

BZZZT!

His body and mind creaked as he allowed the essence of Ruination and the authority of an Apocryphal Antiquity to course through him, his voice ringing out.

"I quite like being alive and well!"

…!

His voice echoed out vibrantly as it was filled with the authority of the Blue Slime stretching out, causing the figure of the Oathkeeper and others to wake from their stupor as the Oathkeeper had an ashen expression while holding on to his Primordial Disk!
