Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Chapter 658: 658

Faced against all of his allies, Kazuhiko fearlessly roared out without any shame - [Dark Emperor]!

[Dark Emperor](EPSILON) :: A Trait that allows the user to turn their body and origin into a unique essence of Darkness, becoming a conflagration of dark smoke as they gain a 100% reduction in Physical Damage, 50% reduction in soul damage, and the ability to utilize their new forms in many unimaginable ways as they only become more proficient in time .

Worthy of EPSILON rank! A Trait that gave the user complete reduction to Physical Damage, and went even further to reduce Soul Damage by half, while also changing their form into a conflagration of darkness . Worthy of a Trait!

RUMBLE!

Kazuhiko's body erupted into tendrils of palpating darkness as it barreled towards the Harbingers menacingly, and one could distinctly begin to see the formation of katanas and serrated blades from this extremely dark smog as they thundered towards the Harbingers and threatened to overwhelm them .

The Undead under Barbatos slashed their weapons as others cast skills filled with the aura of death, but all of them seamlessly passed through the dark smoke that was Kazuhiko as this darkness went on to enter the orifices of the undead, the creatures becoming immobilized!

"RAA! RAA! RAA!"

A piercing cry erupted out at this moment as a gargantuan Emperor Penguin landed among the dark smoke, his flippers filled with the dense essence of space and time as it clashed with the smoke .

The essence of laws was the only thing capable of dealing damage to the body of a being utilizing [Dark Emperor], but the range of Kazuhiko's body was currently too enormous as he not only focused on the Emperor Penguin, but he was surrounding many of the other Harbingers while facing his utmost attention on a single being- a dark skinned woman with glistening hair, the Inquisitor that held a terrifying DELTA Trait called [Extinction Flames] which was wiping away his form of darkness rapidly every time Athena waved her hands!

OOOOH!

A bellow erupted from the dark smog that was Kazuhiko, barreling towards everything and everyone as he actually stood on par with multiple beings at the same rank as him without any issues .

As long as he withstood and avoided the attacks which could deal Soul Damage, his complete immunity to Physical Damage in this state would make him a terrifying combatant on any battlefield!

Of course, if someone like Noah who held terrifying abilities that purely dealt Soul Damage came, it would be a different case entirely .

Minutes passed as many looked towards the powerful darkness with envy, wondering if they would get such a Trait as this . It continued to surround them like a dark smoke as Kazuhiko separated them to stop them from working together, his attention placed on those proficient with laws that could deal even a hint of soul damage to him .

He continued to show a dominating presence in the sparring field, but it was also at this moment that this dark smoke came to a stop, a shocked voice of Kazuhiko ringing out as this smoke began to recede towards one location .

"Stop stop stop!" The shout was slightly hurried as Kazuhiko saw the others had many powerful skills ready to be thrown his way as they continued to test his invincibility and the extent of his Trait .

"I . . . I'm running out of mana…haaa . " He released a defeated sigh after standing against many powerful beings, realizing the high cost of keeping his Trait active as he sought to increase his Realm and have more essence to use!

As the dark smoke which had spread to hundreds of meters receded to become his single human body, one could see a determined expression on Kazuhiko as a dashing smile could be seen on his face, his heart set on getting stronger as he saw rapid progress with the addition of this Trait .

If one looked around at the scene of Harbingers in this sparring field, they would observe determined expressions on all of them as they pushed themselves to work even harder!

In the Chaotic Void, the three Imperial Vessels had passed through numerous teleportation stations as they neared the position of the Stellar Sky Galaxy, spending a bit over 7 hours on this journey!

Noah's eyes shimmered as they reached the last relay station set up by the Imperials in the Chaotic Void, his senses observing the beginning of a boundary of a glimmering Galaxy .

"An average Galaxy through and through, but its position was heavily elevated because of the Effulgent Star Pearls that could be found in it . "

Maya had become more talkative over the trip as she spoke out with shining eyes, the four of them in the Imperial Vessel of the Dannicus Household observing the bounds of the Stellar Sky Galaxy with expectant eyes .

"Let's go!" An excited command was released from the Imperial Princess as the Void Pegasi streaked forward, the station set up by Imperials outside the boundary of the galaxy not doing a thing to stop them as they very well knew their identity, only sending acknowledgment their way .

RUMBLE!

The Void Beasts seamlessly passed through the shimmering barrier without any issues, three Vessels successfully passing through from the Void and into a Galaxy! These three vessels came to a stop near the boundary as the beings within stepped out, looking into the new galaxy as a welcome party was there to greet them .

The figures acting as the welcoming party were numerous as a shockingly handsome man was at the forefront with a bright smile, the light of fate coursing through his eyes as they honed in on the veiled Imperial Princess while giving glances to the two Maids and Noah .

"Imperial Princess, I welcome you to our everything . . . I welcome you to our Stellar Sky Galaxy . "

OOOOOH!

Triumphant horns of celebration bellowed out as it seemed an entire show was brought to this welcome reception, Noah already using Eyes of Truth on anything he saw as he began gathering tons of information .

Among the welcome party, multiple beings carrying the emblems of Imperials could be seen as they also bowed their heads towards the Imperial Princess with a warm welcome . But the man in focus at the moment has shining blue hair somehow waving in the starry space, Anna glancing towards this being with a nod .

"You must be…?" Anna spoke with a calm tone as their party moved forward, the 10 Black Hole experts and 20 Nebula Rank guards standing not too far behind them releasing an oppressive pressure all around .

"I am the only son of the Ruler of the Stellar Sky Galaxy that bends to the Imperial Adjudicator, Andreas Von Husen!"

A grand announcement was made as the son of the ruler of this Galaxy that was under the rule of Imperials came to welcome the Imperial Princess . Light greetings were exchanged between them as they began moving across the starry space of this new Galaxy, leaving the Imperial Vessels behind as they took in the time to enjoy the new sights .

"The word we received mentioned your purpose was the Effulgent Star Pearls?" Andreas spoke with an inquisitive face as a smile remained on him at all times .

"Yes, Our Lady wishes to use these treasures to quickly move through the Nebula Realm and approach the creation of a Black Hole . " Maya replied to him passively as glimmering stars began to appear within their sights .

A sigh could be heard from Andreas at these words as he spoke out with melancholy . "That may be a bit problematic at this time, Your Highness . We have been trying to locate and mine the Effulgent Star Pearls on any of the millions of Stars and thousands of Realms over the years, with the known locations running dry and the Pearls themselves being distributed for use the moment they are mined . I'm afraid there won't be too many at this time . . . unless you are okay with spending a few weeks in our small Galaxy until a few hundred are collected . "

The smile remained on Andreas as his dashing face seemed to exude the sadness he felt at not being able to provide for what the Imperial Princess wanted, and Noah only smiled as he looked at this character's description with the Eyes of Truth as he understood his true nature!

A son of the Ruler of the Stellar Sky Galaxy! Someone who should have inherited and ruled something so vast and wide that very few could claim the title of it in the Dark Universe .

Yet all of this was taken away by the Imperials as he had to now even attend to a mere Princess with a smiling expression! The true emotions that Andreas felt as well as his true nature . . . all of it was visible under Noah's eyes as they arrived in the Stellar Sky Galaxy and met some of its inhabitants, a new adventure underway as an interesting treasure was their goal- the Effulgent Star Pearl!
