Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

"It's definitely because I'm an anomaly. After all, only Universal Realm Hegemonies such as yourself can birth Daos, right?"

Valentina's eyes became curved as her smile deepened, her fair hands clapping as she nodded!​​

"Right, right! An anomaly that helped me increase my Universal Fortune when I needed it the most...and the one that my Destiny is telling me to side with for aid of my victory in the Animus Universe."

RUMBLE!

"Your victory? What challenge could a being like you be facing in the Animus Universe that I can do anything against?" Noah's eyes constricted at the rapidly advancing page of this woman as he asked.

"To understand this, you have to understand something about the Animus Universe...as well as Universal Realm Hegemonies and what they do to increase their power…"

In the latter stages of power, everything came down to the Dao. After a being was capable enough to forge their own Universe, their next goal was to be able to birth a Dao! That was the only way they could move forward in strength, the avenue of manufacturing their own Daos granting them huge boosts and access to a special power that no other creatures could touch.

That special power was [Universal Fortune] and [Golden Destiny]!

"With the creation of the Dao of Summoning and me being such a genius to make it applicable to the creatures of the entire Animus Universe, I elevated my strength quite a bit in the ranks of Universal Hegemonies, you know?"

A mere lesser dao that allowed willing beings in the Animus Universe to become contracted by those living with the same universe or those outside of it...it was a Dao that was extremely useful and actually loved by those in the early stages of power, granting them a huge boost and protection if they had the talent to summon powerful creatures.

This mere Dao was one that greatly increased Valintina's power and standing, putting her on track to be one of the more powerful beings within the Primordial Cosmos!

"But of course, when you have someone shining too brightly...you always have others becoming jealous and wanting a piece of it. This is where my problem came. A universal Hegemony looking at my feats and all I had achieved...and deciding to have a piece of it himself."

RUMBLE!

The smile was wiped away from her face when she talked about this, her eyes becoming exceedingly cold as the entire space they were in seemingly darkened and became cloudy!

"Over a hundred thousand years ago, one of the most powerful Universal Realm Hegemonies decided to descend onto this Animus Universe, seeing my success with the Dao of Summoning and thinking there was something unique with this place- he chose to settle in and began to extend his influence while spreading his own Dao."

…!

"It's actually connected to the powerful identity of a Dragon you're contracted to, the one that you just had the battle for, I'm assuming? That old geezer entered the Animus Universe and extended his influence onto the Bloodline Races, a few of them agreeing to him as he gave them his own designed Dao- the Grand Dao of Slaughter! The events of the fall of the Supreme Race of Dragons began here as the most important edict of his Dao was carried out...senseless Slaughter."

Noah's heart shook as Tiamat's words were affirmed, the hand of the Universal expert that she said was behind everything becoming clear!

"5 of the Bloodline Races had fallen to his influence, and by the time I began to influence the others, the Progenitor of Dragons that held great talent and had even been lucky enough to step on the path of a Cosmic Dao- a Paragon of unparalleled strength...this being fell to the betrayal of the 5 Races as since then, Slaughter has continued to permeate throughout the Animus Universe."

The face of the Universal expert actually seemed pitiful, Noah shaking himself out of this feeling as he continued to focus!

"I've been working to deepen my influence on the remaining Bloodline Races and stop Slaughter from advancing throughout over the years, but it was a losing battle as the majority of the powerful forces of the Universe had already fallen under the hands of that geezer. My Universal Fortune began to wane as my advances slowed, and I didn't know what I could do for a long time...that is until there was a burst to my fortune due to a certain someone, until now...Destiny tells me you are the key."

RUMBLE!

Her gaze returned to being cheerful again as she walked towards Noah's large draconic body, her hands landing on his obsidian scales as she continued!

"Will you be able to step up to the task? One of the most powerful old men of this Primordial Cosmos decided to bully a poor little girl like me when he saw the good thing I had going in the Animus Universe."

Her expression seemed like a pitiful animal that had to be protected, but of course Noah knew better as he remained silent while listening to her story!

Her voice continued to ring out when she saw Noah did not reply.

"Of course, it's only natural that I give the champion who will aid me a great deal of things. We can start with knowledge...and of course how we can take care of the blazing golden beacon of light that is your Universal Fortune. The beacon of light that if any other Universal Realm Hegemony saw it...I can't imagine what those desperate geezers would do to you in trying to understand your mysteries…"

RUMBLE!

The words of the Universal Realm Hegemony only became more and more shocking as time passed, Noah going over everything as he thought of the biggest enemy behind everything- the Universal Realm expert that spread his influence to the 5 Supreme Bloodline Races.

The one behind the massacre of the Dragon Race that even continued to this day, the one who was also the enemy of the powerful being that was standing in front of him…

At this juncture, was there even a need to deny the help of a Universal Realm Hegemony?!

"Oh! My Universal Fortune increased yet again, did you make a decision on something?"

"..."

The mysterious and terrifying expert voiced out happily while clapping her hands, the meeting of two beings extremely far apart in levels and power continuing to take place as it did not bode well for certain beings!
