Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

The face of the Hegemony of Slaughter was particularly cloudy as even after exerting a great deal of pressure to cause the randomized matching of the Universal Construct to adhere to his will on one specific being, he still wasn't getting the expected results against the puny being that was ruining the plans of his influence in the Animus Universe!

'Is his Universal Fortune that much bigger? That I cannot even discern the best way to deal with such a small creature?'

As many thoughts swirled in his mind on exactly what to do, Ambrose lifted his face as he looked at the space a few meters away from him in the unique space he was in where he could view an illusory image of the Universal Construct.

At this space, a spatial light weaved out as a humanoid figure that held a sharp white horn on his forehead appeared! His face held a light smile as he nodded towards Ambrose with shining eyes.

"You've come across a problem even you cannot fix, Ambrose? At such a time as well?"

RUMBLE!

The being that came emanated power just as vibrant as Ambrose, being another Universal Realm Hegemony!

Ambrose nodded towards this being with a sharp light as he turned his eyes towards the illusory image of the Universal Construct while replying.

"Just a minor character that is backed by the small Hegemony in the Animus Universe, you don't need to worry about him, Salerno. He seems to have a very specific Golden Destiny for this Cosmos as many of the things that I do end up helping him or showing him in a better light."

…!

The powerful Hegemony admitted what he was observing as Salerno, the newly arriving Hegemony, nodded with a sharp light!

"The Animus Universe is the last fulcrum we need to have the Slaughter Star Monolith fully anchored, and it is close to completion too...we cannot let it be jeopardized!"

RUMBLE

A shocking conversation was about to occur between two beings of powerful stature, a conversation that actually consisted of immense secrets and plots to which very few were privy to.

It was such a closely kept secret between certain Hegemonies that any talks between it didn't even occur in the bounds of any Universes, but in their own domains hidden in the folds of space!

It would be a shame if such a closely guarded secret...was to be heard by someone else.

A shame indeed!

--- POV Shift

The feeling of power released from my Origin.

The now 8 Billion Galaxies that continued to be forged endlessly as core after core was drained even as I faced opponents within this Construct.

The now 574,037 Dao Galaxies that were branded with the Marks of Antiquity that were releasing pressure five times that of a normal Galaxy!

The essence of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination and the many Dao Essence flowing through my body constantly with endless mana bringing it all together...this feeling of limitless power flowed through me as I felt every second of it, and even then it didn't seem enough!

"Why am I only being matched with weaklings? Where are the powerful fighters across the Cosmos I was promised?!"

WAA!

My voice reverberated out to all those watching, but more so to the Hegemony that was pulling the strings and setting me up with peak Great Sage creatures that gave too many benefits when they died.

The feeling of the enhancement of the soul was still one of the best things I've felt in a while, even better than drinking from the golden rivers flowing in the starry space of my Universal Core...even better than the feeling of sex if I'm being honest!

I wanted more of it so I bellowed out, and the reply I got…

THRUM!

The third opponent since entering the Slaughter Star Monolith.

It was a human with a clear white robe draping over him, his identity displayed clearly above his head with his appearance.

[ 500 :: Carr Bon Zigan- Cerulean Universe]

A Great Sage with a calm expression, his number of forged Galaxies exceeding 41 Billion as he didn't have any blatant weaknesses like the Sun Devourer or the Amalgamation of Blood I could exploit!

A genuine Great Sage nearing the Monarch stage, his bright blue hair flowing beautifully as the light of Slaughter around him swirled with power! In his hands, a Mage's Staff with a brilliant blue crystal shone with immense power as this enemy...would prove to be somewhat of a challenge, with the boons from defeating him being even more stupendous!

"Good!"

THRUM!

The feeling of initiation of the many Dao Essences within my body flowed again, but I didn't move towards the enemy yet.

"It's as good a time as any."

I could feel the golden swirls of fortune and Destiny all around me at this moment giving me the go ahead to do something I pushed off for a few hours now.

Of course, it had to do with the fact that a ridiculously powerful being was chosen to appear in front of me, and how I had a specific ability I could utilize in such a situation to benefit me in a major way!

I could have done it since the moment my eyes landed on him, but the wondrous Destiny and Fortune I had come across recently told me it was not the best time to use it yet! At this juncture right before I faced a powerful Peak Great Sage, the golden lines I could read with ease now shone brightly as a smile broke from my face.

It was time for another addition to boost my strength, because you see, I wasn't nearly as powerful as I should be!

[Protagonist's Bookmark].

RUMBLE!

Maddening invisible essence from a ridiculous Trait flowed out, the target selected already as I was curious why Destiny chose this time as the most opportune one for me.

This body of the Primordial Ruination Clone initiated the skill, but it was a portion of the soul of my main body in the Dark Universe that lifter off and crossed spacetime, entering the Primordial Cosmos in seconds as it delved into a certain Universe, and then it delved into a fold in space that was hiding a terrifying Hegemony!

It was of course the Hegemony of Slaughter, his magisterial stature that nearly reached mine looking at an illusory image of the Slaughter Star Monolith as he discussed something with...hah, actually another Hegemony!

Very well.

Let it begin.

Let's add another Cosmic Dao to the list, this time...being the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation!

It was time for Protagonist's Bookmark to shine again!
