Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

"If even this is to fail...then we must proceed with the other method."

RUMBLE!

"If the Paragons and Legions of all of these beings that term themselves races of Supreme Bloodlines turn out to be useless, then we shall just send a Hegemony!"

WAA!

Words that directed actions capable of changing the course of destiny for many beings erupted out from the Hegemony of Slaughter, his gaze becoming exceedingly cold the more that he looked at the figure of the Tyrant Dragon that was now facing 10 Paragons alone without any sense of pressure.

Ambrose thought about his goals, and how close he was at this moment to accomplishing something that was in the works for a great deal of years! Yet...this randomly rising being was now halting the progress of his goals and causing everything to come to a halt, something that he never thought to be possible from the hands of someone that wasn't even a Hegemony!

His cold eyes left the figure of the Tyrant Dragon as they gazed over at Solerno's figure who was looking at him with a serious expression while deliberating his words.

This gaze reminded Ambrose of a memory from countless years ago, a memory that actually started all of this and caused him to be on the path that he was on right now. It was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and Solerno was looking at him with a similar expression at that time as well.

But at that time, Solerno wasn't alone as he was accompanied by multiple Hegemonies!

Ambrose's mind drifted as he was taken back into this memory hundreds of thousands of years ago…

s

"Your Dao of Slaughter is very unique, especially the concept of the Universal Construct you want to establish in your Universe."

The voice of a powerful being had entered Ambrose's ears, this powerhouse being a Hegemony with unmatched strength as Solerno and 2 other Hegemonies stood behind him with serious respectful expressions.

It was these 4 Hegemonies that stood in front of Ambrose in an isolated Realm hidden in the folds of space, golden waves of Annihilation, Phantasm, Destiny, Darkness, Fate...a myriad of Dao and Law essence fluctuating all around them as their conversation would not be heard by anyone aside from them!

At that time, Ambrose was merely a freshly rising Universal Hegemony, having just comprehended the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation and birthed his Dao of Slaughter when this group of powerful Hegemonies approached him for recruitment in something inconceivable!

Ambrose had looked at them carefully as he replied to the Hegemony at the very forefront that all others treated with respect.

"Who are you all? What would you want with the Universal Construct?"

At his words, the frontmost Hegemony smiled widely as his body trembled with power, multiple Cosmic Daos being sensed from this figure as he spoke out grandly.

"We are mere Hegemonies like you struggling to break the barrier stopping everyone in our Cosmos. We wish to reach Antiquity as we have looked at a variety of methods, but the incorporation of the Universal Construct you've thought of on top of what we can do...a method capable of allowing multiple of us to break into the Ranks of Antiquity will arise!"

RUMBLE!

Words of utter wonder erupted out as Ambrose was entirely hooked in, knowing how arduous and nearly impossible the task ahead was as after he took their bait, he continued to ask!

"The Universal Construct would only work to efficiently influence the inhabitants of a Universe...what would you do with it that would allow for a path to Antiquity?"

"..."

A lull of silence appeared when Ambrose asked this question, Solerno and the other 2 Hegemonies behind the powerful Hegemony all looking towards him as they knew sensitive information would have to be released if the being in front of them answered this question.

And with a smile filled with profound ancientness and wisdom, this being did just that!

"Yes. Your Construct would be capable of affecting your Universe and help you collect Marks of Antiquity somewhat faster. What we will do with it...is spread it to multiple Universes as with the proper usage, we will be able to carry out the Universal Amalgamation!"

THRUM!

Ambrose felt his heart palpate when he first heard these words, and he couldn't help but repeat them as they rang with a tinge of destiny every time they were spoken.

"Universal Amalgamation…"

"Yes. It might take hundreds of thousands of years but...when completed, it will bring forth opportunities one can only ever dream of. We are bound by our Cosmos as with the Sea of Ruination outside of it stops anyone unless they have comprehended its abstruse Cosmic Dao. The Universal Amalgamation will provide a way past this...it will call upon the one that brought me and many other Hegemonies together in this Primordial Cosmos, upon the one that unlike us, has long ago broken the shackles that bind us!"

WAA!

"What?!"

Ambrose had turned breathless at these words as the tremors of power released from this being only increased, his face glowing golden from an intense light of destiny and fortune as he nodded while saying a single word.

A word that didn't need any others to complement it as this word alone represented too much!

"Antiquity."

RUMBLE!

Antiquity!

"The Universal Amalgamation can be induced with your Universal Construct, and with our help, we can keep the righteous Oathkeeper and others from ever gazing your way as with its full completion, a period of Accumulation will start before...an Antiquity is birthed."

…!

Ambrose had played these words over and over again in his mind as he would go on to obsess about them!

Universal Amalgamation would lead to Accumulation, and Accumulation would lead to Antiquity!

WAA!

Hearing these words caused the expressions of Solerno and the other 2 Hegemonies to become utterly grim as soon after, they uttered something that Ambrose would himself come to utter in the hundreds of thousands of years to come.

"As it was, so shall it be!"

"As it was, so shall it be!"

…!

This was the day hundreds of thousands of years ago that something dreadful bloomed, Ambrose's hand grasping onto the mysterious Hegemony that was a being of the same caliber as Hegemonies like Oathkeeper- the heavyweights of the Primordial Cosmos!

This memory played in his mind briefly as Ambrose reminisced, coming back to his current time point where he was just waiting for another few hundred years before his Universal Construct within the Animus Universe would have been ready and the Universal Amalgamation could commence.

Even the Hegemony of Summoning wasn't his opponent as he was this close!

Yet...

ROAAAR!

The roar of a Tyrannical Dragon Emperor brought him back to reality as he saw this nonsensical creature receive 0 damage from 10 Paragons, chains of Annihilation erupting from all around him to lock onto the experts around him as he seemed ready to start another massacre.

At this scene, even Solerno sighed as he voiced out grimly.

"I shall call Hegemony Dark Shadow forward. We will need to ask his permission to proceed forward though!"

s

RUMBLE!

Solerno spoke as he mentioned Hegemony Dark Shadow- one of the Hegemonies that had been standing beside him when that person approached Ambrose all those years ago! It was the same Hegemony they had to ask permission from before making any huge moves!

Ambrose nodded as his eyes flashed with a light of cruelty.

"Very well."

…!
