Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Chapter 582: Are you serious?!

In the Dark Expanse, Vladivostok had just finished communicating with the Grand Mage Edrusim as they oversaw the re-establishment of order across the areas affected by war.

Vladivostok's gaze was currently on Old Man Inuit as he was accompanying this Founder while he met with another Founder that stood in the way of Aldrich, Fritz!

The two old beings were drinking as they gazed at the wide expanse of space around them, Fritz turning towards Inuit as he spoke.

"What are we to do about Aldrich? He might do something horrendous once he achieved complete comprehension."

Inuit's gaze was cloudy as he heard this question, but he eventually smiled as he answered with a profound expression.

"Fate moves as it always has, and it seems our task will be completely shouldered by a single being."

"What?!"

Fritz looked towards Inuit with perplexed eyes as the Old Man relayed Noah's message that the final battle was something that his subordinates could not participate in, and that he would soon be facing Aldrich himself while accompanied by the Infernal Lords!

The two Founders themselves could not lift a hand to attack their own brother, nor did they have sufficient power to do so! Even Fritz was hesitant as he nearly collected the dredges of energy he had at the Nebula Realm to find where Aldrich would be going to.

"You do not need to worry. I sensed a type of strength that none of us had in the being you know as the 9th Infernal Lord. All that we need to do is to wait for the passage of time."

Old Man Inuit was actually at peace as he awaited for whatever results came, his gaze hopeful as he looked forward into the future! This was because he affirmed his beliefs in the few things he could still see while utilizing Karma and Fate.

The being that he was placing all this trust on had already achieved the title of a Controller, and was currently on the way towards a momentous event!

---

Numerous truths were being uncovered in the blink of an eye, with Noah watching as the 1st Infernal Lord placed her fair hand on his shoulder, his body being wrapped by a unique essence that was teleporting him into the same location as all the disappearing Infernals.

His surroundings changed instantly as he disappeared from the fourth Infernal Realm, his awareness spreading out as he sensed a familiar environment that he knew all too well!

The abundant essence of the Celestial Realm flooded towards him once more as he looked around, noticing that only the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lord were also floating on the skies around him.

Noah sensed the much more abundant environmental essence as he turned around to observe a powerful golden barrier, this being the impenetrable barrier that the Celestials could never cross, the thing that was Aldrich's obsession!

"The Fate Barrier. It's actually something that is selective on who can cross it, only those who have achieved complete comprehension in a Law being able to forcefully tear through it."

The voice of the 1st Infernal Lord rang out sweetly as she stood beside Noah. The other two Nebula Rank Infernal Lord looked in the opposite direction of the golden barrier as powerful essence began to bubble forth from them, abilities stemming from the law of Chaos and Fire beginning to surround them as they were the first to prepare, all of them already sensing an enemy coming in this direction!

But it seemed that Noah and the 1st Infernal Lord were not paying attention to this, Noah's hands reaching out towards the golden barrier as...they actually passed through with ease, as if no restriction or barrier existed there in the first place.

"If you had ventured far enough into the Central Realm in the past and come across this circular Fate Barrier, you would have actually been able to cross it with no problems as no such restrictions were placed on you."

Even more shocking information was revealed as Noah's eyes shone with luster, his hands being able to pass through the golden barrier even though he was not using his unique essence as a Grand Controller, shaking his head as apparently- if he had just ventured slightly further into the Celestial Realm in the past, he would have been able to see whatever lay behind this barrier that Aldrich strove for so much!

The 1st Infernal Lord looked around her as she spread her arms out, spinning melodiously in the skies as she had a content expression on her face.

"It has been too long since we left here, I had nearly forgotten how the air tasted."

The vibrant colors of gold and white around them painted for a fantastical paradisical surroundings that had actually begun to tremble at this moment, and it was because far in the distance, the aura of a terribly powerful being was fast approaching.

"But one final thing remains before we can move forward, and I'm ashamed to say that it will be mostly dependant on you, O 9th Infernal Lord."

The 1st Infernal Lord spoke melodiously as the space around them shook!

The only other Controller in the Novus Galaxy was approaching at this very moment, his power seemingly bubbling out at this moment as one could distinctly feel immense wrath and madness within it.

Noah understood a little about Aldrich's goal, but he did not know the madness of this being and the level of obsession he held towards it, and it was one of the reasons why such a palpating feeling of wrath was spreading out at this very moment.

After exploring the Celestial Realm and obtaining the treasures he obtained and rose in power, the golden barrier behind Noah was the one thing that Aldrich could never cross as he felt like he was locked out from something that should have been in his hands a long time ago!

It felt like something that was rightfully his was denied from him, his obsession growing stronger over time until he nearly had his goal in his grasp as he neared the golden barrier once more after obtaining the title of a Controller.

Yet as he neared, he actually felt the auras of four beings that were already there before him, individuals that had no business being there in the first place!

WAAA!

His figure materialized from golden lights as his golden eyes locked towards the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infernal Lords, and then finally landing on Noah himself.

"..."

"Are you fucking serious?"

Aldrich uttered wrathful words as he held an expression of incredulity and rage, his gaze focusing on Noah the most as even though his goal was right in front of him, even though the one thing he wanted the most was literally within reach- there were multiple beings there to stop him from getting it!

What caused the most incredulity and rage to overflow within him though was the fact that from the 9th Infernal Lord that he had made many drastic actions against, for this being that he had even destroyed all Celestials in the Novus Galaxy...he actually saw that this being had a similar aura as him!

He had the aura of a Controller!

RUMBLE!
