Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

In the courtyard of the expertly built fortress reminiscent of the architecture in the Nexus Galaxy, Noah stared at the mountain of cores and skill books as the top combatants in his Infinite Realm came close.

"Come! Let us partake in loot as I tell you all a story!"

His voice was vibrant as he was in good mood, choosing this time to be as good as any to let them know of the forces outside of the Novus Galaxy while his other bodies used their boons to elevate their Realms to even greater levels.

Off to the side, the Nebula Rank Kazuhiko could not help but tremble while looking at the four Animus Summons that surrounded Noah's multiple bodies!

"This...what are they?!" His voice was tinged with excitement as he glanced at the terrifying pressure the Animus Pets released, Noah smiling towards him as he replied,

"Pets. Similar to Draco, but much more powerful! I'll tell you guys about them as well."

Noah's main body remained for the job of spreading out the treasures and talking with his people as the Three-Legged Fate Crow and the Void Serpent disappeared with the body of Alexander.

This party of Alexander reappeared in a Time Space of the Infinite Realm in an area only privy for him, waving his hands once more as a pile of cores ranging from Black Hole to GALAXY appeared in front of him!

There were many things to be done, but raising his strength came first as with the raising of it there came many surprises and a vast increase in his power!

This was more clearly displayed when one thought about the fact that he would be able to summon two more Animus Pets when he entered the QUASAR Realm, and another 2 more after he touched the GALAXY Realm.

His thoughts moved as from the 6 Planetary Bodies of the Vital Life Water that he stole from the Burning Domains Galaxy, he removed a circular portion with the diameter of 6 meters from the single planetary body he kept to himself to come outside and drench him as he enjoyed the +200% speed in Realm progression that the Fiends had been enjoying for so long!

With such a thing, he was confident in breaking through to the next level, even if the GALAXY Realm might remain out of reach after he absorbed even the few cores of the beings at this level.

The main body of Alexander had already begun devouring the Black Hole rank cores first as he would move on to QUASAR...consuming them until his body released the signal that he could advance into the next Realm while keeping himself at Grand Completion.

Meanwhile, the clone of Alexander was taking the questions of the Animus Summons that were shocked out of their minds!

"Are you a chosen Dao Child? Do you have a Dao Treasure? How were we not hurt when facing the attacks of an Entity?"

"CAA! CAA! CAA!"

The ancient voice of the Void Serpent could finally not help it as it asked, while the future Golden Crow screeched loudly as she remembered her majestic figure taking the hits of Entity and coming out unharmed.

Noah smiled as he began discussing with his Pets some truths about himself, trusting these creatures as they were contracted with him and a part of his strength!

So a multitude of discussions were taking place with Noah as the central character, his clones and main bodies each doing their own tasks as he considered the most important one to be the task of Alexander consuming cores like pieces of candy.

RUMBLE!

His black hole continued to expand and actually became ever brighter as it attempted to form a Quasar. The Quasar itself was an extremely luminous supermassive black hole that was surrounded by a powerfully gaseous accretion disk!

In trying to understand the term 'accretion', it is the acc.u.mulation of miniaturized small particles into a massive gravitational mass like a Black Hole, and this acc.u.mulation of particles attracts more matter in the gaseous form as it forms a disk around a Black Hole. Such was an "Accretion Disk", such was the shocking event that was occurring within Noah's Origin at this moment.

It was the stage of Quasar where the active galactic nucleus would be formed, the stage that made one prepare to form their own GALAXY.

An hour passed as he had swallowed all of the Black Hole and QUASAR Rank Cores, his body feeling vibrant and nearly full as he downed the cores of hundreds of Fiends at the same rank as him or greater. But he still did not have that final piece of the puzzle that gave him the signal of reaching Grand Acc.u.mulation of this Realm before he broke through into QUASAR!

This made his eyes turn towards the shimmering GALAXY Cores that were the size of his head, each of them shining with a miniature Galaxy as they seemed extremely enticing to him, his very Origin calling out to them.

He was at the Realm of Black Hole, but he would be consuming a core of a being 2 Realms above him in order to break through! Such was the difficulty of achieving Grand Completion in one's Realm…

His hands grasped onto the GALAXY Core without any more wait as a brilliant light shined out, his body sucking in the essence of a ridiculously powerful core for his level as the gaseous mixture forming into a disk around his Black Hole became ever so denser, a blinding aurora of a gorgeous red, orange, and purple light beginning to emanate out as the process of forming a QUASAR fully went underway!

THRUUM

His body felt extremely full as he let out a wild cry, keeping his Realm at Grand Completion as he now advanced into the next Realm. The accretion disk expanded and spun crazily as it drew in the atmospheric essence and the essence of the GALAXY core, the potent energies causing its formation to be extremely rapid as in a matter of seconds, Noah's body unconsciously and grandly began to float in the glimmering skies of the Infinite Realm.

On his body, one would distinctly be able to notice an astronomical body of extremely high luminosity, an astral body that would normally be found at the centers of Galaxies! Being powered by gaseous matter spiraling at appallingly high velocities as they surrounded a Black Hole, this was a Quasar!

QUASAR!

A vibrant and thrumming QUASAR was manifested on his body in a stellar fashion as the gravitational forces around him went into a tumultuous fervor. His aura was that of someone in the Quasar Rank, but its oppressive force was more than 10 times what others in the same Realm would release. And this was before he even employed his strength.

As he sensed the profound strength within him as well as the majestic Quasar manifested throughout his body, the body of Alexander looked like an ancient treasure that even Ancient Powers would protect as a grand smile could be seen on his face!

Others took years to advance through these Realms, while he merely took days! Just days!

His bubbling excitement only increased as while sensing this power, he felt a shackle being lifted as it told him he could utilize <<Archaic Animus Summoning>> once more to bring about another Pet...
