Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

"Haha! This is why I always liked you, Sargon!"

The voice of the Great Usurper shook everything in the unique mental space the two beings were in, a space that stretched across the rivers of spacetime and placed two unique beings together through their own methods.

The Antiquity wasn't bothered by the tone of the Hegemony of Chronos as he even seemed amused, but one could still detect the tone as if it was an adult being amused by the actions of a child!

"The Tools of Descent are acting properly, with my descent only being a few weeks away. Though I did notice a reduction in the rate of accumulation...what's happened?"

The voice returned to that of ancientness and majesty as Chronos nodded while replying calmly.

"An Apex Paragon has arisen from nowhere, his existence hitting us specifically by the fact that we cannot act against him due to the restriction we ourselves imposed for the proper establishment of Universal Amalgamation."

"This Paragon has been breaking apart the influence our Hegemonies have established in a matter of days as he conquers the Universes, to the point that even your released Aura and the power of Incarnations that have ingested a portion of an Origin of a Hegemony cannot take him down!"

BZZZT!

"If he continues without being stopped...the rate of accumulation will continue to reduce as nothing will be descending for months, the Universal Constructs breaking apart in a matter of time after that…"

His words seemed like a clap of thunder in the unique area of Spacetime, a thoughtful look appearing on the clouded face of the Antiquity as his voice rumbled out.

"An unbeatable Paragon...what name do they go by?"

An unexpected question came as Chronos looked towards the titanous figure above him and replied quizzically.

"Why does that matter?"

"Names are naturally very important. Across the many Cosmos and Dimensions...I've met a few beings with certain names that even I have grown to be wary of."

RUMBLE!

A shocking sentence came from the Antiquity as the consciousness of Chronos was jolted for the first time ever!

He thought carefully before he replied.

"He loves the moniker of 'Tyrannical', going by such names like Tyrannical Dragon Emperor and Tyrannical Lich Emperor in the respective Universes he is conquering. He is also a Paragon that has somehow birthed his own set of Lesser Daos before even reaching the rank of Hegemony, and he has comprehended the Cosmis Dao of Chronos."

All the information that Chronos knew was shared as the form of the terrifying Antiquity seemed to be thinking thoughtfully before his ancient voice came out.

"There are many unique existences across the Cosmos, geniuses being able to comprehend Supreme Tier Cosmic Daos and even being capable of birthing Lesser Daos appearing here and there. This Paragon...you've never heard of him referred to as Aegon? Or Noah? Or Ezekiel?"

RUMBLE!

A set of names came out from the Antiquity as Chronos only shook his head when he heard them. Yet, when the Antiquity mentioned these names, he seemed to give them a sense of importance and somberness he had never attached to anything else he had said so far!

"No. This being literally appeared from nowhere just days ago. No mentions of Aegon, Noah, or Ezekiel surround him. Why these names especially? There should be quintillions of beings with such names, they shouldn't have any significance."

"My dear Sargon...once again, names have great significance! After all, I met a version of you from a previous Lifetime that you stole their Origin and Soul to Reincarnate. Only then did you know of me!"

…!

"As for the three names I mentioned, I've come across beings like that too many times. Each of them always turned out to not be worth the trouble, the Destinies of these existences being too ridiculous. If a being with such a name isn't a prominent figure in your Primordial Cosmos...then it shouldn't be a problem."

WAA!

Power and majesty leaked from the Antiquity as the cerulean blue eyes he held shone with arcs of unknown light.

In the mind space, Chronos's expression was calm even while faced with such a shocking being, his words coming out calmly in a reply as he nodded.

"If it is no problem, then I came here for a solution. I know there is no such thing as a free lunch in existence, and that you have your own aims for coming down to the Primordial Cosmos. I care not whether you want to dominate the Cosmos or destroy it...all I care for is the method towards Antiquity!"

A cruel and calm light coursed through Chronos as these terrifying words were uttered, the Antiquity glancing at his minuscule figure with great amusement.

"What a cruel existence you are...but I can understand your search for Antiquity! After all, the things I did to achieve it...oh well. I am bound by the Tools of Descent you call the Universal Constructs. The conditions I proposed will have to be maintained if I am to successfully descend and stay, so you have nothing to worry about."

…!

"The path to Antiquity...I will show you the method that guarantees it in less than 10 Million Years!"

WAA!

Swirls of terrifying essence and might roiled around the terrifying form of the Antiquity, his eyes blazing with an intense light as he stared at Chronos.

"Antiquity...and even the untouchable Realms of Power those self righteous Existences have reached...that is my Destiny! I will go across Cosmos and do what needs to be done for it. Nobody can suppress it!"

RUMBLE!

"..."

The raging storm of essence continued.

The eyes of Chronos were placid as if it didn't matter to him what the Antiquity wanted, his voice simply coming out amidst the ancientness around him.

"What is the solution, Usurper?"

"...Bring 9 Paragons into the cores of the Universal Constructs. Preferably those that have ingested the essence of a Hegemony. It will be an extremely costly price for me to mobilize my authority early...but I will do it regardless. I will give you 9 Existences that cannot be taken down by anything other than a Hegemony. I will give you Subjugations of the Usurper that will hold a semblance of my abilities."

…!

"I'll even reduce my focus on other Cosmos and put more attention to this Primordial Cosmos to accelerate the rate of accumulation. With all that...my descent should not be too far away."

Tides of essence moved chaotically at the words as Chronos nodded with shining eyes!

The essence of Reincarnation around him fluctuated at this moment, Chronos looking at his own body as he knew it was time.

The risk he had taken this time was a dangerous one, but it had paid off as he thought about the words of the titanous being before him.

'Subjugations of the Usurper that cannot be killed by anything other than a Hegemony, huh?'

A light of destiny and cruelty flashed across his eyes as even Chronos didn't know the consequences of the events he was perpetrating!
