A Tool of Descent disappeared soundlessly as only a single Blue Slime remained.
Its body glimmered beautifully in the void as within its Origin, 15 Billion Dao Galaxies were added instead of the usual 10 Billion that were added per Universal Construct! This was because the Antiquity had burned another Splendiferous Universe as his essence became even more condensed and pervasive!
This put the total number of Dao Galaxies the Blue Slime held at 35 Billion as he continued forward at a pace that was actually faster than even Noah.
THRUM!
The ruptures that Noah created to hinder and try to swallow the Goliath and other two Hegemonies disappeared, these powerful existences looking towards the area that the Universal Construct used to be as their faces were those of utter wrath and shame.
Only the Goliath could not be read as he floated soundlessly in the Void, these powerful beings actually not being able to stop a Paragon and his contracted summon!
Noah's galactic Cthulhu figure flashed as he appeared above the Blue Slime once more, his figure becoming situated comfortably above the viscuous head as he spoke out nonchalantly.
"It's a shame, really."
RUMBLE!
"A shame that I don't have more time to waste, otherwise I would entertain the great Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos and see just how long it takes until your Extinction runs out and you fall like everyone else."
…!
Shocking words came from Noah's mouth as they felt like thunderclaps descending down, his figure and the figure of the Blue Slime becoming enveloped in a spatial light as they disappeared!
They only left behind 3 somber Hegemonies that still couldn't accept what they just saw within their own eyes.
When Noah and the Blue Slime reappeared, they were in the last Universe that he emptied out of its existences- the Necrotic Universe.
He was currently moving at a fast pace as it seemed like the Antiquity was rushing…and so would he!
After the destruction of one Universal Construct, he went to another just as quickly as he arrived a few miles away from the Construct that was being protected by the Hegemony of Necromancy and three other Hegemonies he didn't know.
To him, it didn't matter as this time around, his body was already bubbling with power and might as his fist was ready, his Cosmic Treasure being even more prepared as Noah was a streak of light that glimmered towards the Hegemony of Necromancy and those around him!
Only his voice could be heard before the void ruptured as he tore open the very fabric of the Universe.
"I told you that you'd taste death just as easily as the Paragons in this Universe faced, didn't I?"
WAA!
His voice was the harbinger of death as the Hegemony of Necromancy had only just looked towards him in shock as his body began to erupt with power, the three Hegemonies near him doing the same as a second later…
RIIP!
All of them fell into the Ruination Sea that bloomed from Noah's fist!
"Ah…!"
The shocked bellows began as Noah paid it no heed, the Slime already moving in position as an enormous blue clock gushed out the essence of Chronos and wrapped around the 4 Hegemonies.
What happened thereafter was just history repeating itself as these beings could simply not defend against a combination of the Sea of Ruination and the essence of Chronos that was enhanced by the Dao of Conquest!
Within less than a minute, the Hegemonies were devoured as the Universal Construct followed.
It now made it so that Noah and the Blue Slime had taken down 4 Universal Constructs on their own!
With the one in the Microbial Universe that Oathkeeeper had personally destroyed, that made it a total of 4 Universal Constructs that had undergone complete Annihilation.
Only 4 Universes remained under the influence of the Antiquity at this moment, and of these…
RUUMBLE!
Noah's main body felt his Origin explode with Marks of Antiquity as it signified one of these Universes falling completely under his reign as the existences within all pledged Fealty!
It was the Euthenia Universe that was filled with all sorts of plant like races, the Universe where the now devoured World Tree stemmed from.
The other Universes aside from Euthenia weren't too far off as his subordinates and the clones of the Blue Slime continued their relentless advance, more than half of these Universes already being conquered as the current Marks of Antiquity Noah held…were knocking on the door of 40 Billion.
Just 10 Billion more until he reached Hegemony!
Within the next hour as his forces continued…this would all but be guaranteed.
Meanwhile, the Blue Slime had now breached 50 Billion Dao Galaxies after the 4th Universal Construct, being just 50 Billion away from becoming a genuine Antiquity.
But before that happened, Noah could already see that the illusory second Universe the Blue Slime had gained was becoming ever real, and that this being would most likely experience the title of an Apocryphal Antiquity before a genuine one!
All of this…depended on time and how fast they moved.
So Noah moved with glorious efficiency as the moment the 5th Universal Construct fell, they disappeared from the Necrotic Universe as they made their way to the Euthenia Universe!
And the moment they left, multiple figures of the Goliath and other powerful Hegemonies appeared, only to see the devastating scene of an empty area where the Universal Construct used to be.
"…"
A pervasive silence descended onto the group of Hegemonies as they didn't even know how to feel.
Under the relentless assault of the Apex Paragon that seemed to have endless energy, they were actually facing loss after loss as they didn't even know what to do!
But there was another being that had a much stronger form of will than them, the one that had currently put everything in play and was trying to descend at this very moment.
Under the consecutive losses as he sensed the fall of the 5th Tool of Descent, the Antiquity turned entirely expressionless across the boundaries of spacetime, his Origin merely lighting up again as yet another Splendiferous Universe and 3 other normal Universes burned with a crimson light.
…!
It was an extremely heavy price to pay, even for a being like him.
Yet when he saw the thick line of connection burn bloody with his authority, he only uttered forth with an ancient and emotionless voice!
"A mere hour remains…Chronos, don't fail me with just this!"
RUMBLE!
After the burning of numerous Universes, the days of Descent that had been weeks were reduced to days and then to hours, and now….only 60 minutes remained before the Antiquity made his entrance!
