In the Empyrean Plane.
The mobilization of forces to look for the Disciple 'Chamberlayne' that was Noah's Subjugated Blessed who had taken the Legacy of the Usurper had never stopped.
Under the commands of the Hegemony of Gold that oversaw the Stellar Expanse of the Celestial Plane, nearly all of the forces of the Celestial Plane were stretched throughout turning over every world and Realm!
These being that had hundreds of thousands of years of history felt stifled at being given such a task for so many days, but under the power of a Universal Hegemony, they could do nothing but follow.
As for this Universal Hegemony himself? Gold was impossibly looking at a scene of a vast river of destiny and fate as he continued to look for possibilities there.
Any possibilities...anything that would lead him to the Legacy of the Great Usurper! His stout face was filled with frustration as the gold hair on his head flowed to his shoulders, his gold eyes shining with a light of brutality!
"Gold…"
His eyes rose as he received a mental communication around this time, this message actually coming from the Hegemony of Love as he replied to it gruffly.
"What is it?" His voice held a hint of distaste when he spoke, knowing that this woman had been entering the Galactic Filament Rank Dimensional Rifts for the last day with a Blessed of this same rank!
He considered her a loose thing that he would deal with when he got his hands on the Great Usurper's Legacy and achieved Antiquity, and he would show her just what men she should have aligned herself with.
Yet even to his distaste, Love's voice came out calmly.
"I've been following a lead on checking Dimensional Rifts as the hiding places of our little problem that is now proficient in anything to do with Dimensions with the Great Usurper's skills...and it is bearing some fruit. I've caught traces of him in one of the Rifts in the Celestial Plane!"
WAA!
"What?!" Gold rose up with shining eyes as many thoughts crossed his mind, where he had considered the fact that one could hide in a Dimensional Rift...but hadn't fully explored this thought as it would require too many forces to cover such a search.
But if Love had found some traces of it…
"His signature now leads down towards the Empyrean Plane. I can't do every fucking thing myself so you all start on the Rifts there. I'll see if I can locate him again as the next time I do...I'll call for backup so the little snake doesn't escape again."
Her sonorous words let out her frustration as Gold nodded, his eyes shining brightly as he thought at least this woman still had her uses!
"Good! Good!..."
His voice echoed out as he began to change the area of search, the Empyrean Plane once more becoming active as the search continued!
----
The tides of destiny churned as time passed, every single being moving with their own ideals and goals.
Across Dimensions, Noah's Subjugated Elder carrying his consciousness through the Authority of the Dominator worked with the Hegemony of Love to trek through the deadly Chronos Storms that could wipe away thousands of years in a blink of an eye.
They familiarized themselves with this plane that would be the trap which would befall a Hegemony, Noah's confidence growing as Love's fair face was wiping away sweat while she held on tightly onto Noah's hands.
She was holding on tightly as in this terrifying Apocalypse of Time Dimension, Noah was the only guide that could seemingly predict the coming Chronos Storms!
If one lost a guide, they might forever be lost in the Chronos Storms until they turned to ash.
"Is it enough?" Love called out lightly as her essence undulated to cover them both, wishing that they could leave this dangerous Plane already.
"Almost…" Noah replied with a twinkle in his eyes as he looked further ahead, almost seeing the location where the Great Usurper had hidden a portion of his Legacy!
He couldn't reach it yet, the further in they went becoming even more dangerous as he expected only after he obtained two Universal Rank Units or a single Unit and he himself entering the Universal Realm...only then would it be possible.
"You've prepared Gold?" His gaze turned to the woman with glimmering dark hair that was looking around the nearby Chronos Storms with a worried expression, her gaze staying on the storms as she replied to him.
"By now, he should have begun scouring the Dimensional Rift of the Empyrean Plane. The next time I send him a message just telling him that the one he is looking for is in a certain place...he'll rush towards it right away."
Her words were filled with confidence as Noah nodded with bright eyes! The plan was set and the little details were laid out, the only thing left to do at this moment being to enact it!
Of course, Noah was still watching the passage of time while collecting the loot from the 52 Galactic Filament Rank Dimensional Rifts, the Upgrade Crystals for one Unit's full upgrade having already been obtained as he now waited for the second unit.
He had a myriad of options to choose from for which two beasts he would fuse into a Universal Rank Rift Boss, and he had utilized the thousands of Rift Shards to summon a vast array of Beasts at the Galactic Filament Rank.
The rarest ones with many Grand Daos already inborn within them would be the ones he would fuse, with his choices currently revolving around a unique Dragoness that held the title of Tyrant of Destiny...and a Unit made entirely of the Grand Essence of Destruction called the Anomalous Galactic Destroyer.
These Units had the most collection of Grand Daos on them, Noah choosing them among the hundreds he could select from as there were multiple second and third options!
These options...would be the ones he would select for his future Universal Rank Units after he obtained more Upgrade Crystals.
But now, less than a day remained before he would have enough Upgrade Crystals to fuse a Universal Rank Unit and face a Hegemony!
