Their shock about this being's Mana reserves aside, there was also the reality of him defeating 6 Hegemonies all at once!
This shock was perceived more not by Oathkeeper's group, but Chronos's group that was getting ready to focus on their big battle with the Oathkeeper.
Currently, Chronos had a blank expression as the Black Hole on the face of the Goliath swirled silently.
These powerful beings could barely absorb the fact that somehow, 6 of their people were dead within minutes of them being sent out to stand against a mere Paragon and the Hegemony he controlled!
None of them could fathom what the hell had happened, Chronos being the only one capable of speaking a moment later as his eyes still seemed blank.
"This...this existence must be the true chosen weapon of the Primordial Cosmos...he has to be!"
RUMBLE
"He came out of nowhere, and now he displayed such unrealistic and impossible battle power that one might even mistake for him to have the Cosmic Treasure and not the Oathkeeper!"
…!
Chronos actually came close to the truth as his black face adopted a pained expression, the heart of this being actually thinking of the unfairness of it all as he looked at this situation.
All he wanted was the method of Antiquity.
After so many Reincarnations and living so many lives, he just wanted to progress forward and didn't want his path to be restricted to just Hegemony!
But why...why would his own home stand against him so much? Why would the Primordial Cosmos break its own natural rules to bring forth existences that could stand in his way like this?
The being questioned inside, but he received no answer as the others could only blankly stare while thinking of the news they just heard.
Aside from the Goliath and Chronos, the other Hegemonies were actually feeling a myriad of emotions as among them...was fear!
Fear from looking at the fact that most of them were on the same level if not weaker than beings like the Heroic Hegemony and Ambrose who had birthed their own Grand Dao, and yet they heard how all these beings were collectively killed in such a short period of time by this Apex Paragon.
They began to feel fearful as when the news spread to the other 4 Universes where the clones of the Blue Slime and Noah's subordinates were moving across for Conquest, the Hegemonies actually didn't proactively go to stand against the terrifying Blue Slime!
All they had to do was protect the Universal Construct, and the Blue Slimes were only leading Noah's forces on a speedy path of Conquest across the Galaxy Clusters of these Universes so that Noah could quickly gain immense numbers of the Marks of Antiquity.
The 2 or 3 Hegemonies within these Universes actually didn't move a single step away from the Universal Construct to stop the clones of the slimes, even hoping that they would not target the Construct that they were protecting!
This was how shocking the result of Noah's actions of killing the 6 Hegemonies were!
"Should….should we still be preparing and waiting for the Oathkeeper's move, or should we go to stand against the Apex Paragon wherever he appears next…?"
…!
A careful voice of a Hegemony known as the Hegemony of Thunder stretched out amongst Chronos and the group of Hegemonies around him.
"..."
His words actually received no answer as these beings were actually evaluating the strongest threat between Oathkeeper and Noah..and they actually couldn't arrive at an answer!
But as they reeled themselves in with the recent actions, so did another being that was much more powerful than them.
Across the vastness of space and time, even across timelines and Dimensions!
The consciousness of an Antiquity that had just burned a Splendiferous Universe was looking at the thick cylindrical line of connection he had with a far away Cosmos coldly.
He sensed the consequent downfall of 2 more Universal Constructs one after another, as if it was to challenge his authority after he burned an entire Universe to speed up his descent!
The Antiquity eyes became exceedingly cold at such an outcome as he looked within his Origin and gazed upon the myriad of Universes within it.
His cerulean blue eyes flashed emotionlessly as between the normal Universes filled with the bright 100 Billion normal Galaxies or the Splendiferous Universes filled with 100 Billion Dao Galaxies...his eyes actually chose 3 Universes at this moment as they also began to burn!
Without a second pause or delay, this being had actually chosen to burn not one, but three Universes to act as the fuel for his descent! Two were normal Universes shimmering calmly, while the third was another Splendiferous Universe that shone beautifully with Dao Galaxies.
Ye. In response to the increasing reality of him being stopped from obtaining a Cosmic Treasure- something that only those in the Cosmic Realm enjoyed...the Great Usurper chose to burn these 3 Universes without even a pause.
He was a being that had lived for too many millions of years and had experienced too much! The sacrifices he could make were things that even other average Antiquities could not understand, and he had reached the upper stages of this level of Nirvanic Antiquity as he was very close to the Cosmic Level!
His methods of searching for Cosmos not by traversing the Ruination Sea but through the unique means he was using right now was actually the secret that Chronos wanted to find out, and his success had always been achieved smoothly apart from a few losses.
The only losses suffered were caused by a set of beings stretched out across the Cosmos that uniquely shared similar names, but the Great Usurper didn't consider these existences normal as he waved off these losses!
But...in this Primordial Cosmos that had no such a being holding a high rank of power? How could he lose such a Cosmos that even had a Cosmic Treasure?!
RUMBLE!
As three Universes burnt and became a fuel to further increase the rate of his descent, the Antiquity merely looked on coldly as he couldn't wait to glance upon all the faces of the beings within this Cosmos.
They would learn of the unrelenting will of the Great Usurper.
They would learn it very clearly as he would make sure to descend no matter what!
