Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 521 - What are you...?

It was a shocking revelation, but it was a welcomed one as Noah would never say no to receiving free Fate Lines!

This was especially so since it would be Celestial Commanders who would most likely be at the World Rank with an abundant amount of Fate Lines, with many of them being more experienced as Commanders like Athena, the Three-Eyed Fate Child, and Grandmaster Light were rare.

Noah’s mind wandered as the Infernal Lords in front of him obliged to the commands of the 1st Infernal Lord right away, their eyes now filled with interest looking towards this 9th Infernal Lord that held such a ridiculous talent of comprehending Universal Laws.

As these beings were occupied with this, Noah himself had his mind wandering towards the subject of the 1st Infernal Lord that held the same face as the being that his homeworld had chosen as a representative!

[I’ve discerned all I could, I still do not see a correlation, but it is definitely there.]

’You’re being blocked again?’

[...]

Noah had to let out an emotional sigh at this moment as even though the depth and understanding of his System was rapidly increasing the past few weeks, when it came to this specific subject- it was always stumped!

This subject once again involved ’Something’- a concept that he was apparently not allowed to know of yet. It seemed ridiculous to him as he had already come this far, turning his introspective mind towards the 1st Infernal Lord as he wanted to ask her directly to clear some of his doubts.

"Aside from this, Little 9th was unique and smart enough to even insert himself into the forces of Celestials, and even I’m curious to see how he will play this card in the future to come."

The mysterious being spoke once more as she saw Noah’s expression, revealing his identity as Crixus which made knowing lights shine on the faces of the Infernal Lords as they looked at him. The 1st Infernal Lord then waved her hands towards them as her cold voice returned.

"Return to your Legions and move to your respective positions, remember my words and be efficient!"

"Yes!"

RUMBLE!

The fluctuations of essence erupted out as the figures of Infernal Lords disappeared, leaving behind only Noah and the 1st Infernal Lord as she looked towards him with a smile.

"You seem to have many questions."

Her gaze was that of great interest as she waved her hands and caused the elevation of a regal chair, sitting upon it as she stared out from the terrace and into the calm metropolis.

"Your face-"

"All I have are memories. Just like how you gained new memories when you gained your status as an Infernal Lord, so did I. Whatever mystery your fate involves, I do not know it."

Noah was interrupted before he could even ask as the stunning figure of the 1st Infernal Lord said, her gaze looking out as an unknown light coursed through her eyes.

Noah squinted his eyes as he gave an emotional sigh of frustration, but his mind was captured once more as the clear voice rang out again.

"What I do know is that you will have all the answers you want after the defeat of Aldrich. That is if you succeed...can you imagine a future if you don’t?"

Her eyes twinkled playfully as she said this, Noah seeing he would be getting nothing from this being here today as he bowed.

"If you will excuse me then, I shall get ready myself."

A nod came from the 1st Infernal Lord as she continued to stare out into the vast metropolis of the Fourth Infernal Realm, Noah’s figure turning into particles of light behind her as he completely disappeared as well!

All that was left behind was a single being, her eyes curving into a smile as words that only she could hear rang out.

"Not quite yet."

---

Noah disappeared from the Fourth Infernal Realm as the first place he went to was his Homeworld, his figure above the vast blue seas as he floated in the skies.

On top of the Sea, there was an enormous floating city where the light of mana was constantly shining. One could see the bodies of Atlanteans moving busily as they worked on multiple projects, this location being one of the areas where the beings from Atlantis worked to create more innovations.

Currently, the appearance of a miniature vessel being made for the purposes of moving through the void of space was clear, the Atlanteans working efficiently to replicate more technologies aside from weapons and World Engines.

Within this vast Floating City, the figure of the one Noah knew as Sophia was talking with the Ocean Master when she glanced towards Noah’s small figure far away in the skies, smiling as he materialized in front of them with an awe-inspiring aura he didn’t know he released.

The Ocean Master received a big shock at this unexpected surprise, but Noah was only closely looking at Sophia with careful eyes!

"I truly do not know either, Big Brother."

The exact replica of the 1st Infernal Lord he was talking to replied, her facial expression and body only seeming a few years younger! Even before Noah had arrived here, the System had already tried to discern the mystery with Sophia, and they were all kept in the dark about this issue!

Noah shook his head exasperatedly as the voice of the System rang out in his mind.

[We already have our assumptions which should be fairly accurate, with all that is left being to confirm it. Leave this to me as you focus on what is to come.]

Noah listened to the voice of the System and the smiling Sophia in front of him as he nodded with a sigh, looking over to the scared Ocean Master as he briefly discussed the small scale events occurring throughout his homeworld and other connected worlds before he chose to leave yet again.

He would leave the mystery behind for later, as he knew sooner or later his assumptions would be confirmed. If all it took was the death of a single Nebula Rank being, then so be it!

His thoughts moved away from this issue as he thought about the one directly in front of him. His main body was currently acting as Commander Crixus, his Second Clone still deep in the Spiritual World training skill trees and comprehending laws.

This First Clone that just met with the Infernal Lords continued to move as he prepared to take the mantle of the 9th Infernal Lord once more, soon going into battle. But he already knew that it would not be the 9th Infernal Lord that would see the first battle of this War. Instead, it would actually be his identity as Commander Crixus of the Celestials!

This brought forth what one would consider a conundrum as his main body led a Celestial Legion already filled with beings from the selected Prime Worlds of Light Expanse, soon to come in contact with the defensive forces of the Dark Expanse.

The conundrum was his own actions- what exactly would he do when he was leading an entire Legions towards beings that were only defending their homes against tyrants?!
