CHAPTER 1003 - A UNIVERSAL BANQUET! I
Within the Dark Universe.
Noah's main body remained floating amidst the fields of verdant gold greenery while all around him, rivers of fortune and destiny were swirling around brightly, his hands gradually plucking off strings of destiny as he tried to understand his path forward.
At the same time, spatial fluctuations began to erupt not too far from him as his languid eyes turned towards this direction, the appearance of one of his clones coming to fruition as with him...was the slender figure of a captivating woman!
A woman whose aura alone caused the space around her to shake, her dark eyes that could draw in the souls of weak men opening as her aura spread out all around her- her gaze becoming that of increasing shock before her eyes focused on a particular being that was wantonly releasing the Fortune and Destiny he wielded!
Noah's clone faded away as it achieved the task of bringing a powerful Hegemony into the Dark Universe, this Hegemony herself locking her gaze towards Noah as her eyes shone like bright lanterns.
"This...isn't the Primordial Cosmos!"
THRUM!
This powerful being sensed it right away, looking towards Noah with shock as the implications of what she found were truly grand!
Amidst the golden rivers of fortune and destiny, Noah smiled lightly as he nodded.
"Yes. It is the Lost Universe that was fractured from the Primordial Cosmos some time ago, the Dark Universe that is currently under my control."
…!
The eyes of Valentina constricted into slits at these calm yet boastful words as she brought herself to purely focus on Noah at this moment.
Truth be told, she didn't even know how to interact with this being as the situation surrounding him was just too special. She had her status as a powerful Hegemony, yet this being in front of her was a mere Paragon...and at the same time the one that she had pledged fealty to and become a Vassal!
'Well, at least that is even bigger than before.'
She tried to simplify her thoughts as she focused on Noah's vast fortune that had become rivers about to form into seas at this moment, her body moving faster than light as she appeared in front of him an instant later and locked eyes with him from a few inches away.
She saw his calm eyes that didn't even flutter, eyes that seemed to show no fear even in front of a Hegemony as he merely looked towards her with a smile! Valentina sighed in defeat as she stared at this being and spoke out.
"I cannot see through you. What exactly is it that you want? What is driving you to do everything you're doing right now?"
She tried to understand the being she had pledged her Fealty to at this moment as she wondered what would happen in the future, and she watched as Noah ignored her question and wave his hands to the verdant golden greenery below them, Fruits filled with the essence of laws being plucked and rising towards them a second later as Noah offered her some.
His gaze seemed far away as he thought about her question before he replied.
"I actually can't give a proper answer to that as my goals have constantly changed over the weeks…"
Valentina raised her eyes at this as she expected someone to at least say their goals had changed over the years, but she said nothing as she continued to listen!
"In the past, I moved for the sake of securing my safety, and I later moved for the sake of others where even my entrance in the Animus Universe was for Tiamat. But…"
A myriad of thoughts crossed Noah's mind as Valentina's question had made him reflective! He thought about the Apocalypses he got past and against the enemies he found, even his current goals where he planned to go on the Conquest of multiple universes!
He might say it was to try and stop the actions of the terrifying Hegemonies following Chronos and whatever they were trying to bring to fruition within the Primordial Cosmos but...even though this was something he wanted to do, he saw it as part of what drove him to make the goal of Universal Conquest.
The even larger part that caused his heart to blaze with ambition...was Antiquity!
It was power!
As he thought about this, he found himself coming up with too many answered as he merely shook his head while looking towards Valentina.
"Well, it doesn't really matter what my past goals were. For now and in the coming future...my goal is the Conquest of the Universes affected by the Universal Amalgamation that Ambrose and the others carried out, it is to increase my influence at a scale that even Hegemonies could not even dream of as in a matter of weeks or months...I will form my Universal Seed and rip apart whatever plans these beings have."
"...!" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
RUMBLE!
Valentina's eyes shook as she saw the rivers of Fortune above this being churn at just his words- words that were so domineering that even this Hegemony found herself taking a step back!
A claim of conquering Universes as he achieved the Rank of a Hegemony within months.
Not the hundreds of thousands of years it took others, but within weeks or months!
Valentina wanted to call this claim a mere dream but she couldn't bring herself to, gathering herself as she recalled how this being had jumped from Great Sage to Paragon in seconds.
She looked at him seriously as she didn't refute his words and merely nodded. With such a vast fortune swirling around him, who was to say what he could and could not do?!
"On the way here, Oathkeeper sent a message that in three days, a Universal Banquet will be held in the Elysian Universe to discuss the events surrounding Chronos and the others, as well as the gathering of information on what to do about it!"
RUMBLE!
Noa's eyes shone brightly at these words as he looked towards the gorgeous figure of Valentina that was looking at him with bright eyes.
" It will be nearly all of the Hegemonies within the Primordial Cosmos, including many beings that weren't present during the events that occurred today. Among those attending, the invitation was extended to the Tyrant Dragon Paragon that was moving around in the midst of Hegemonies like nothing today."
…!
