As the group with Chronos monitored and planned, another group was also observing Noah's movements carefully!
The group of Hegemonies that had all sworn an Oath under Oathkeeper were keeping watch over the happenings of the 9 affected Universes, and two Hegemonies were doing so for the Animus and the Necrotic Universe.
They had seen the nearly completed Conquest of the Animus Universe, and now a Hegemony watched the movements of a certain Tyrannical Lich Emperor as it began Conquest in the Necrotic Universe!
Through the [Wings of Primordial Destiny] that the Oathkeeper had just forged, a message was sent as this situation became known by many Hegemonies.
Not too long after, a spatial light erupted out from the Wings of Primordial Destiny that the Hegemony currently outside of the boundary of the Necrotic Universe held, the oppressive and domineering powerhouse that was Oathkeeeper himself appearing soon after!
His eyes squinted as his golden hair flowed beautifully, looking at the scene in the small corner of the Necrotic Universe where a terrible swirling mass of death surrounded billions of Undead that just shattered entire Legions in seconds.
Oathkeeper looked at this as he raised his Wings of Primordial Destiny and spoke into it.
"Is this your work in the Necrotic Universe?"
The message crossed the vast distance as it reached a singular being…Noah himself!
He had stashed away the Wings of Primordial Destiny into his Expansive Space as it rang out and he heard it clearly, his brow rising up at the straightforward manner of this powerful being as he replied with but a single word.
"Yes."
RUMBLE!
He hadn't particularly tried to hide what he was doing, and he had no need to do so as with the current reality, no Hegemonies could touch him!
The ones in the 9 targeted Universes could not, and he used his clones for any time he traversed in the Primordial Cosmos. His main body was stashed away in the Dark Universe that was floating peacefully in the Sea of Ruination, and he even had a Save Point active in case of any mysterious or sudden deaths.
Simply put…he wasn't afraid!
But he also didn't want to border on the side of arrogance and shoot himself in the foot, so he took things as they came and evaluated them while changing plans along the way.
The plans of Conquest…they would in no way be affected by the fact that others knew it was him doing it.
It would actually be even better if his notoriety spread, where even the Universes he targeted next would know of him so that his might can be something as magisterial as beings like Oathkeeper, Chronos, and the Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos!
With a mention of their names…even Hegemonies turned somber!
So he replied simply towards Oathkeeper, and as for the reason he was going from the Animus Universe and then the Necrotic Universe in a campaign of Conquest?
He would just bullshit his way across as they didn't know he was doing it to collect Marks of Antiquity!
"Yes, this is my method to help take down Chronos and his followers…to reduce the influence they hold over the natives of all 9 universes as this should reduce their power over the Universal Constructs- as it seemed influence was very crucial to even begin the Universal Amalgamation!"
RUMBLE!
Noah's words caused Oathkeeper's eyes to shine brightly as what he thought was just a pile of bull was actually very close to the mark! They seemed so logical that Oathkeeper nodded his head as he recalled the scenes of the Universal War in the Draconic Holy Lands, and now this same being began to wage war in another Universe as he seemed to be on a path of Conquest!
"Conquest…"
Oathkeeper uttered these words slowly as he became lost in thought, coming back to focus a second later as he sent back a message to Noah before he disappeared from the boundary of the Necrotic Universe.
"Share this type of information with others earlier as we're all going for the same goal. Also, the natives of the 9 Universes…they are existences with homes and families as well, I hope you can bear the responsibility of your actions depending on how far you go with your Conquest!"
…!
Noah received the message clearly as his eyes glimmered with a bright light of conviction and strength.
Conquest leading to Marks of Antiquity.
Marks of Antiquity leading to a Universal Seed that would bloom into a Universe!
From a Universe and into a stage nobody had reached in the Primordial Cosmos…it was the Universal Filamanets that would pave the way towards Nirvanic Antiquity, towards the Cosmic Realm!
This was the path he had chosen. He could not veer off from it!
RUMBLE!
His eyes turned up as he saw his rivers of Fortune and Destiny still as bright as ever, the Marks of Antiquity continuing to increase at an even faster pace as this was around the time that the Emperor Penguin, Barbatos, Morgana, the Sword Emperor…all of his Subordinates- it was around this time that they fully dominated all of the densely populated Clusters of Galaxies within the Animus Universe.
Every location they went to, the call of Fealty spread as Noah's clones were there overseeing everything, where the majority of powerhouses within this one Universe could now be considered under Noah.
That was an uncountable number of trillions!
WAA!
Around the figure of his main body in the Dark Universe, a glorious amount of golden Marks of Antiquity raged as Valentina looked at this scene while shaking her head at its sheer ridiculousness.
They weren't alone as their setting had changed in the Dark Universe, the rigid mind of Valentina being won over by a relentless Adelaide as at this moment, Noah was sitting down in a meditating position at the roof of a high rise building that was made entirely of glistening diamond glass that he designed with the [Architecture] feature of the Universal Core.
It looked like a building one would find in a technologically advanced world far in the future, Noah currently being on the highest floor of this high-rise building as one could see a wide pool lined up by glass that was filled with hot steaming water!
Not too far from the steaming pool was a table containing an overabundance of fruits, and an enormous fluffy bed that could fit over 10 people was on another side of the roof of this high-rise building that touched the pristine clouds in the skies.
Within this roof, one could see the figure of the original bodies of Barbatos enjoying the steaming pool with an annoyed expression, Adelaide lying on the bed alluringly as Valentina was dressed with a graceful white robe while staring at Noah's figure as he was submerged with the Marks of Antiquity!
At this time, Noah opened his eyes as he looked towards Valentina with a smile and asked.
"The Conquest of the Animus Universe can be considered complete. You want to get started with the probing attacks?"
…!
A devilish smile could be seen on his face as he said this, revealing another part of his plans aside from Conquest as it involved utilizing the Hegemony that had become a part of his forces!
Valentina now held many things as part of his forces, but the most important one remained the fact that she could now utilize clones.
The other method Noah planned to use to dismantle the Universal Constructs and the plans of Ambrose and Chronos involved Valentina using her clones to rush into the only Universe she could enter as she laid out relentless attacks, where even the deaths of the Clones were inconsequential as all she would need to do was to wait until her mana reserves refilled to Summon more clones and hound the defending Hegemonies within the Animus Universe constantly!
Valentina stared at Noah with shining eyes as she nodded, her body buzzing with essence as she seemed ready for war! Her face was filled with a light of someone that didn't accept defeat as she spoke while waving her fingers forward, releasing an attractive force as Noah's figure began to be propelled towards her as she spoke.
"I'll have the clones make a move but during that…I don't believe the stamina of a Paragon can compare to a Hegemony!"
RUMBLE!
A shocking scene that would be the envy of all beings played on within a high rise building somewhere in the Universal Core of the Dark Universe, Noah's original body and the original bodies of those close to him enjoying their time in an isolated Universe as their clones were the only ones moving in the Primordial Cosmos!
It was multi-tasking to an extreme as many things were being done while the Conquest of many Universes was underway….
