Apocryphal meant something false.
Something of doubtful authenticity that was also seen as true!
At this moment, a unique species of a Universal Emperor Slime had unlocked a false path of Antiquity, but it had Antiquity attached to it nonetheless.
THRUM!
Its main body and clones harmonized as while Noah held the Blue Slime in his hands in the Dark Universe, his eyes followed the beautiful glimmer of a Blue pillar of light that shot to the skies, the ends of this pillar illuminating two vibrant Universes!
One had 80% of its Galaxies converged into Dao Galaxies as it was a few away from becoming a Splendiferous Universe, another Universe was newly built from the sacrifices of multiple Hegemonies.
They both shone with magisterial light as they brought down with them a shocking authority that even made Noah feel suffocated when it first appeared!
But he grasped on tightly onto the Blue Slime as this existence felt his thoughts, the pressure that he and many others in the Universal Core felt receding as the Blue pillar of light quickly faded.
In the Liberated Universe, the three pillars that each illuminated two bright Universes remained as they released a stifling feeling in the surroundings, but before anything could occur…a particular Hegemony bellowed out a guttural cry in the Ruination Sea as his body shone with a terrifying purple and unique green-white light!
It was the figure of Chronos where in the midst of this glorious arrival of an Apocryphal Antiquity, he actually became an existence that tried to shine just as brightly as the essence of both Reincarnation and Chronos roiled around him.
The unique mixture of Chronos and the essence of a Cosmic Dao that was almost always passively used permeated within the formed Ruination Sea, spreading out to the folds of the Liberated Universe that had yet to be ripped apart as they actually carried out a unique action!
OOOOOH!
The bellows of Chronos continued to resound out as he seemed to be pushing his Origin to the limit, something shocking actually occurring whoever his mixture of Reincarnation and Chronos passed.
The ripped apart fabric of the Universe actually seemed to be receding, as if they were being inverted back to a state they were in before they were ripped apart!
…!
This existence that uniquely comprehended Reincarnation and was the first to learn the essence of Chronos could actually close the ruptures of the Ruination Sea, inverting the entire area around them to a state it was before as he drained himself to make it possible.
THRUM!
In a short period of time, the ruptures wound back in time as this being that was closest to completely comprehending the Cosmic Dao of Chronos made a grand show of power.
"…"
The area was entirely silent as the 10 remaining Hegemonies still felt the Origins shaking, the feeling of being in a terrifying Ruination Sea still present at this very moment!
Their eyes towards Noah and the Blue Slime held hints of fear and disbelief as it was the singular figure of Chronos that had his hair flying around madly, his entire body clad in the aura of Reincarnation and Chronos as he looked towards Noah with utter fury and disbelief.
"That…was Ruination!"
RUMBLE!
This being uttered out these words as even he was in shock and didn't seem to believe them even as he said them!
But he couldn't mistake the feeling he had just now as he had actually gone through it a few times in the past! In previous timelines, he had at many times tried to see if he could survive the environment outside of the Primordial Cosmos, and he would die at each time without fail as multiple Lifetimes were ended in this manner.
Yet in this lifetime before he even left the Primordial Cosmos…he felt this same feeling again as it was induced by a being!
His words caused the surrounding Hegemonies to gape in shock, Noah's eyes looking at Chronos coldly as he didn't confirm or deny this being's conjecture.
All he did…was look at the Blue Slime.
Apocryphal Antiquity…just what was it?
WAAA!
At his thoughts, the eyes of the 3 Slime clones opened as they released bright rays of starry blue light, their bodies finally regaining movement as the Blue pillar of light that shot to the skies converged around his head.
When the gorgeous show of light ended, one could only see two beautiful Universes floating soundly above the bodies of the Blue Slimes, these Universes presenting something that others only ever sought for but never achieved!
Chronos was still shocked by the knowledge that a Paragon had induced a Sea of Ruination to form, his attention barely being able to look at the Blue Slime that seemed to have achieved the formation of another Universe.
A signature of Antiquity!
And with it came…authority.
THRUM!
Just a single body of the Blue Slime lit up as above it, two illusory universes rotated beautifully and gave off a shocking sense of power, his voice coming out as it seemed undeniable.
"Revert."
…!
A mere word, and yet the space that had just undergone a Temporal Inversion by Chronos was once more returned to how it was.
It even seemed Instantaneous as before the Hegemonies could even celebrate Chronos's shocking feat, it was erased right away with a single word from the Blue Slime as the Ruination Sea was instantly reinstated!
They once again fell under hellish conditions as the Blue Slime eyed them coldly, the 2 Universes above it beginning to spin rapidly as they undulated with power.
OOOOH!
Chronos saw this shocking situation as his eyes shone unwillingly, his body beginning to burst with essence as he wanted to do again what he had just done before!
He wanted to use the combination of Reincarnation and Chronos to erase the Ruination Sea once more but he found that at this time, no matter how much mana he burned…nothing changed.
Not a single millimeter of space changed as no matter how much mana he released in the form of Dao Essence, he couldn't change the surroundings!
This was because at this time, the Authority of Antiquity lingered in the surroundings after one such existence cast a skill.
Even though it was a false Antiquity as its power might be lesser, it was still Antiquity!
And such an authority could not be denied by a Hegemony!
