Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

As the heads of many turned with the new information of the grand realms ahead of them, Noah nodded his head simply as he replied while looking deeply into the wrathful eyes of the Queen Dowager.

"Great Sages, Monarchs, Paragons, or even anyone in the Universal Realm...I don't know the extent of their power, but it matters not!"

RUMBLE!

Essence rumbled out from Noah's words as others could not help but look towards him in a mesmerizing fashion.

Their hearts and eyes were pulled towards this being that now had an aura of an Entity, the air he released being extremely unique as his words seemed like they deserved to be heard!

"I myself have many beings I need to find and seek answers from not just in a single Universe, but many of the universes that make up the Primordial Cosmos. This entire Dark Universe we are in...it is headed towards destruction as we speak from the actions of Sages and Great Sages that were forced by the experts of nearby Universes to use a Tool they had no idea how to utilize...this tool allowing them to separate our Universe from the Primordial Cosmos as it placed us in grave danger…"

OOOOM!

Shocking revelations were released from Noah to everyone else at this moment as he chose to use this time to let them all know of the future that lay before them. He explained how the Great Sages had utilized a Cosmic Treasure they did not fully understand to cause the separation of the Dark Universe from the Primordial Cosmos, and exactly what this meant as this Universe was at this moment headed towards destruction!

…!

The Imperial Adjudicator had a blank gaze that was shared by many, their recent power ups that made them feel like masters of their own destinies waning as they realized the truth.

At the same time, Tiamat had a shocked expression while listening to Noah's story, her eyes trembling with excitement as she couldn't help but call out!

"This is the Lost Sundered Universe from all those years ago? The Universe that had a Cosmic Treasure born in it?!"

The gaze of Tiamat was heated as she came close to Noah, her bountiful c.h.e.s.t shaking as she sought to confirm something from Noah!

Noah himself was looking at this being that used to be one of the Ruling Forces of the Animus Universe as he knew she must have a deep history and be extremely knowledgeable! Her words connected to the truth as he replied slowly.

"It should be one and the same."

Tiamat's body thrummed with power at this reply as she voiced out with excitement.

"Good! We have to find that Cosmic Treasure! With it, I can raise past even Great Sage with ease as I make my way back to the top…"

She seemed lost in thought as she paced in the skies, Noah hiding his knowing smile as he probed for more information.

"What do you know about the Lost Sundered Universe?"

"The name only became widely renowned in the Primordial Cosmos after its exploits of withstanding the powers of multiple nearby Universes were spread. It became even more famous after it was somehow separated from the Primordial Cosmos as it became known as the Lost Sundered Universe…"

As she paced, Tiamat continued to reply without too much thought.

"It was a shame for this Universe to be lost as it held a Cosmic Treasure, something so rare that if the truly powerful Universes had heard about it first...a Universal Realm expert would have descended onto the Universe to wipe out all the Great Sages as they took the treasure for themselves with ease!"

RUMBLE!

"But the surrounding Universes that knew of the possibility of this Cosmic Treasure kept this information from spreading for many years, with many only finding out after it was somehow separated from the Primordial Cosmos...Ah!"

Tiamat seemed to be reminiscing as she talked of a great deal of things, Noah's eyes shining more and more as he heard of the information. He had some questions himself as he couldn't help but ask.

"This should be that same Sundered Universe, but since we are separated from the Primordial Cosmos, I have always been curious about how beings utilizing a mere Lesser Dao of Summoning have been able to summon creatures from the Animus Universe that should still be a part of the Primordial Cosmos!"

Tiamat was listening carefully as she waved her hands dismissively at the end.

"Oh, that? This is because of a powerful Universal Realm expert that birthed the Dao of Summoning made it so that the summoned creatures could only come from his Universe, the creatures being able to traverse through Realms and achieve Grand Completion with ease the moment they are given the status of Summons!"

"So even with the Lost Sundered Universe being parted from the Primordial Cosmos, utilizing the Dao of Summoning still means the creatures have to come from the Animus Universe, with the price of summoning being paid by the one who birthed the Dao to begin with as that Universal Realm being gains more understanding of the mysteries of the Primordial Cosmos…"

…!

Noah was nearly speechless at the information as he asked in shock.

"When you achieve a high enough Realm...you can birth your own Dao?!"

"...Yes. But only if you are at a truly powerful stage." The gaze of Tiamat turned mysterious as she seemed to be lost in thought, all the others listening in also reflecting as they felt like their minds were expanded!

The surrounding space turned quiet before the piercing voice of the Emperor Penguin rang out.

"What I don't get is how the Dao of Summoning is considered a Lesser Dao after all that, it seems much stronger than something like Withering and even seems on par with the Grand Daos we have just witnessed!"

The words of the Emperor Penguin made the eyes of many light up as they turned towards Tiamat questiongly.

The Queen Dowager seemed to have gradually returned to her old self as she waved her hands while replying.

"The classification of Daos is based on to what extent they can push the power of the user. Something like Summoning that relies on others will have a bottleneck where the user finds it hard to achieve the stages of Monarch, Paragon, or even the Universe Realm at that."

"Grand Daos such as Destruction or Vastness, or even something like the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation...those will truly allow one to reach the peaks of power!"

RUMBLE!

Noah took in Tiamat's words carefully as he didn't necessarily agree with them.

The Dao of Summoning had been such a huge boost to him that he would even consider it better than some Grand Daos, but he knew it was because of his own unique circ.u.mstances that he was able to utilize this Dao with such extreme efficiency and usefulness!

Even the entire Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter with its Entities that studied it could not compare to him, so he somewhat understood what Tiamat was talking about.

He digested the many bundles of information while he spoke to his people.

"You all absorb the Dao Crystals first. Keep in mind our path is thorny and filled with danger, and I even have a solution to the coming Apocalypse that you all will know in time."

…!

The eyes of the beings in the surroundings shone at these words as they looked at each other incredulously while also feeling a heavy weight lifted off their shoulders.

They had just found out they were all heading towards an Apocalypse, only to have Noah tell them he could solve it much later after they accepted their existential crisis. It was truly a rollercoaster of emotions as the words had a different meaning to Tiamat!

Her shining eyes nearly blurted out her question before she chose to telepathically ask Noah.

'You've gotten your hands on the lost Cosmic Treasure?!'

Tiamat's gaze was shining as she stared at Noah, her eyes seemingly trying to devour him as he only smiled.

He only had a portion of the Cosmic Treasure called Ruination!

He had a single Ruination Core as he wanted to collect another from the Holy Emperor of the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter! After that...he would track down all the rest as he undertook a grand task, his journey truly beginning at that time!
