Chapter 97 - An Invitation!
The stars are vast and innumerable.
If one ever got a chance to explore the starry space, they would find themselves faced with an increasingly dark void of endless possibilities, and it was only brightened by the glimmer of planets, stars, suns, and many more vibrant planetary bodies moving throughout!
Occasionally, one might even come across the marvelous luster of a Realm.
Within the Chaotic Universe, Realms were extremely unique as they were special pockets hidden in space, pockets that one could not find too easily unless they knew what they were looking for!
For some, Realms were their home- places they considered their only world as they lived their entire life in ignorance and happiness.? For others, Realms represented something else entirely.
They were a stage above what one considered a planetary body, their high ranking being due to their spatial isolation and the fact that within them were boundless treasures! These treasures were of course in the allure of Dimensional rifts, these unique constructs always and forever remaining the number one thing that every single being sought for in the Chaotic Universe.
At this moment in time within a small Galaxy in the vast Chaotic Universe, a being draped in a fascinating set of golden armaments was floating in the skies of a certain Realm as his gaze emanated immense power!
The Realm he was in was extremely unique, the skies themselves being tinged with a fiery crimson light as the particles of fire within this Realm were exceedingly abundant!
Below the feet of this being, red particles of fire could be seen dancing as they seamlessly held him in place, with his eyes currently being locked onto the shapes of two Dimensional Rift gateways below him.
The rifts shimmered with an intense milky white luster as they represented Diamond ranked dimensional rifts, and the being draped in a golden armament had a light smile as he saw the various parties of powerful beings entering these deadly rifts,? nodding in accomplishment as he was about to move away!
He would go to another region as he oversaw the workings of many rifts, just like this across a myriad of Realms and planetary bodies, yet he came to a stop a second later with a confused expression as he looked at his ring finger- at the space storage ring that was buzzing with a blue light.
THRUM!
There was actually something that was emitting mana fluctuations within the ring, the being waving his hands as he brought it out.? His confusion was only lifted a few seconds later as his eyes locked on to a certain communication medallion and he finally remembered something from many years ago.
"Well, well, well. Look at this!"
His eyes became sharp as a twisted smile appeared on his face, his mana moving as it entered the communication medallion and heard a voice come out from it! The voice was cold and sounded as if it came from someone that had seemingly lost everything.
"Hello."
RUMBLE
It was a simple word,? but this simple word was an introduction for something dreadful to come! It was the introduction of the Crown Prince of a certain Ethereal Realm to a powerful being that was part of a terrifying force, an introduction that moved the waves of fate towards a certain direction!
The being wrapped in the gold armament continued to pour mana into the communication medallion as his other hand pulsed with a purple light that released from it and wrapped around the medallion, causing a thin line beginning to form from it and shooting out past the skies of the Realm he was in!
"To what do I owe the pleasure of having someone reply to this medallion after so many years?"
…!
As he did something the other party did not know about, he asked a simple question as he waited for a reply that only came a few seconds later!
"I know who you are and what it means for me to use this medallion, we do not need to play any games. I want to make a deal!"
RUMBLE!
A dense twisted smile appeared on the being draped with a golden armament, his other hand continuing to pulse with purple mana as the line beginning from the communication medallion only became brighter and brighter, shooting towards a certain location that only he would know about.
He listened to the Crown Prince at the opposite end of the medallion as an apalling thought appeared in his mind!
'Finally...I'm looking forward to increasing my quota and adding another Realm Colony, especially one that has an Elemental Rift!'
THRUM!
----
Back in the ethereal realm, Noah was dominating all of the Diamond ranked blessed of the Light Continent by using the terrifying power of his rift bosses along with the subjugated diamond blessed.
Annalise and Rose were watching on top of the Luminous Unicorn as at this moment,? nearly all of the protectors of the Light Continent had already fallen. Noah remained on top of the Aether Dragon as he merely waved his hands to enact an attractive force as he pulled in the defeated experts towards him and he then subjugated them!
At this moment, he was going through their memories in the middle of the battle trying to glean more information about his current situation, his face becoming brighter when he came across the information about the Diamond ranked rift these beings had been delving in, excitement welling up inside him as he thoroughly planned to delve into it in the very near future!
But when he arrived across a certain memory from the subjugated protector Chen, his eyes opened wide in shock! It was the memory of the last message that a certain Ethereal Emperor left.
A message of distressing significance along with the communication medallion left behind in the Imperial Castle!
RUMBLE!
Many thoughts crossed his mind as his eyes very quickly honed in on the figure of the Crown Prince. Seeing his dead eyes as he was one of the last few remaining in the skies, his mana wildly raged as he waved his fingers and caused an attraction field to wrap around the body of the crown prince and bring it towards him at a fast speed.
BOOM!
He grasped onto the neck of the body of the crown prince as he looked deep into his eyes, his expression very quickly changing as he saw Subjugation was not even applicable to this being at this time!
Paired up with the memories of Protector Chen who actually knew the inherent skill of the Crown Prince, Noah's face turned trim as his body quickly moved and landed on the luminous unicorn that Annalise and Rose were sitting on.
"Let's go!"
WAA!
He left behind the other rift bosses to finish up the few remaining diamond experts as the luminous unicorn shot like a streak of light towards the imperial castle!
Noah would normally not know where he was going, but after assimilating the memories of many of the local experts who moved within this castle, it seemed like the back of his hand as he very quickly arrived on the balcony of a certain area of the castle. The mana of the luminous unicorn blasted put in droves as the balcony was blasted apart, showing a hall that Noah flew towards.
His mental energies wrapped around Annalise and Rose to bring them along with him as he had a foreboding feeling! His mental energies spread out from him and covered the entire Imperial Castle looking for the aura of the real body of the Crown Prince after he had thrown away his clone.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Annalise looked towards him while asking, but Noah only moved faster after his mental energies caught the aura of the Crown Prince in a certain location.
BOOM!
The three figures weaved across the imperial castle as they blasted through the doors of a certain study where the Crown Prince was holding on to a communication medallion that had a monstrously powerful voice ringing out of it!
"A deal is a deal. Keep this medallion active for another few minutes and I'll know exactly where your beautiful little realm that produced an Elemental Platinum Ranked being…"
…!
"Haha, a rare Elemental Rift that has a chance to drop Universal Law Crystals...I can't wait!"
RUMBLE!
Noah's face turned extremely twisted and wrathful at this as the mana of the telekinetic emperor rushed out in droves at the Crown Prince that had turned his eyes towards them- his lifeless empty eyes that had actually sold them to a terrifying being!
BOOM
The hand of the crown prince was torn from his body just from the sheer energy that Noah released. His hand was disconnected from the medallion as the source of the mana flowing into it was cut off, Noah grabbing it as he saw the dying light fading from it, a white aura erupting from him to crush the medallion within his hands!
When the scene cleared, the Crown Prince could be seen tattered on the floor, an arm missing and his expression twisted.
His eyes filled with many emotions as Rose looked towards him in horror.
"What have you done? What have you done?!"
RUMBLE!
