From the stupendous strength of the Antiquity, authority descended down like a tide as it followed the thick cylindrical connection he held with the Primordial Cosmos, this line of connection burning crimson gold with the essence of three more Universes burning through them!
In the Primordial Cosmos, these changes were that much more pronounced as the 6 remaining Universes which held the Universal Constructs were pulled in closer together, the process of Amalgamation fully underway as at this moment, the barriers of these Universes had already fully melded together.
After this melding, they began to slowly disappear as when these boundaries between the Universes faded, the Antiquity would have arrived!
The authority of this being came out in even more terrifying waves from the Universal Constructs as Noah had at this moment just teleported to the Automaton Universe, raising his head towards the Construct not too far from him that was protected by a few Hegemonies.
Looking at the newly increased intensity of the waves of power it released, his eyes shone with the light of destiny as he discerned a few things and found out that...they now had a few hours and not merely the day before the descent of the Great Usurper!
They truly just had a few hours before an Antiquity descended...before another Apocalypse came to be as nobody knew the designs of this descending being.
Noah's eyes shone sharply at this development as a myriad of thoughts crossed his mind.
The fact that the Antiquity would descend in even less time caused his heart to tighten somewhat, and it did this because one of the many cards that gave him confidence was the fact that the cooldown of Plot Armor was a few days away, but Deus Ex Machina could already be used as if the Antiquity ever truly descended...he would have to use this!
Of course, if he was efficient enough to obtain the remaining 20 Billion Marks of Antiquity before the descent of this Antiquity, he would be able to become a Hegemony himself. But he didn't know whether such a power would be enough against a being that had multiple Universes established in his Origin.
But yes, he actually only had 20 Billion Marks of Antiquity remaining to collect before he reached the 50 Billion Mark, and another 50 Billion after that to make all 100 Billion Galaxies into Dao Galaxies as he became a genuine Antiquity and became capable of birthing more Universes!
His subordinates and the clones of the 4 Slimes he sent to the Euthenia, Abyssal, Omicron, and Liberated Universes had been moving with immense efficiency as they collectively had 25% of all of these Universes already pledging fealty to Noah.
This was what bumped his numbers of Marks of Antiquity crazily as even at this moment, he was gaining tens of millions of Marks every single second!
His main body had to isolate itself in the skies as clouds of gold had already gathered around him while the Marks of Antiquity descended one after another, making him look like a primordial being undergoing a fantastical trial.
With his subordinates and the Clones of the Blue Slimes causing others to swear fealty to him and getting him closer towards Hegemony, Noah could continue attacking the Universal Constructs protected by Hegemonies as he now appeared near the one in the Automaton Universe that was protected by 3 Hegemonies!
The Mechanical Hegemony had its metallic gears vibrating intensely at Noah's appearance, the other two Hegemonies being an enormous existence that was known as the World Tree from the Euthenia Universe, and a huge demonic looking creature that was the Hegemony of Brutality from the Abyssal Universe.
These three Hegemonies actually remained back near the barrier they enacted around the Universal Construct, not going forward to face Noah as they had received the news of how this being and his Blue Slime had actually decimated 6 Hegemonies in a matter of seconds in the Animus Universe!
These beings actually cursed their luck that Noah came into this Automaton Universe next, and they would have to put their lives on their line and even potentially face destruction against this being that they didn't understand.
Noah was still in his Cthulhu form as he stood atop the Blue Slime, edging closer to the Universal Construct and seeing the hesitation on the faces of the Hegemonies as he smiled and spoke out.
"Are you all...actually afraid?"
RUMBLE!
A shocking sentence that the galactic Ctuhlhu said with utter dominance!
Yet the 3 Hegemonies didn't reply to such an insult as at this moment, they were communicating rapidly with Chronos.
"What are we to do?! If you don't send reinforcements, we won't be able to hold this being down!"
The Mechanical Hegemony was furious as he sent many mental messages to Chronos, not wanting his existence to be another set of news that gets passed to others on how he and the other 2 Hegemonies around him were somehow defeated by the unexplainable being before them.
Towards all of the mental messages he sent, the Mechanical Hegemony didn't receive anything back until only a few seconds later when Chronos's impassive voice reached him.
"Hang on for just a minute and reinforcements will come. You can achieve that against a single Paragon and Hegemony, right?!"
…!
Frustrations and conflict were running rampant within this group of beings that only banded together for the sake of Antiquity, and it was showing at this moment as the Mechanical Hegemony turned his red robotic eyes towards Noah after hearing the reassurance of Chronos, his voice ringing out.
"No, Apex Paragon...we are not afraid!"
THRUM!
His words came with a wild eruption of power as his body changed shape and size, mechanical gears moving in and out as this Hegemony soon became a planetary sized robotic being that held deadly weapons that could easily vaporize the molecules of a Paragon with a hit!
The World Tree and the Hegemony of Brutality beside him also received the assurances of Chronos as they roared out malevolently, these Universal experts finally showing off their teeth against a being they actually dreaded to face at this moment!
