Chapter 213: Dance to my tune! I

Love felt her heart flutter at what she was about to do. She closed her eyes and felt her Universal Origin pulse, felt the billions of Galaxies within this Universe as the vast mana within it brought her utter calm.

'It is not something new.' She opened her eyes as she thought as such, her mind reaching to everything she had done to get where she was now.

Her face hardened as she steeled her resolve. 'For the sake of Antiquity...I will do what must be done!'

For the sake of the stage of power above Universal Hegemony! For the sake of strength to protect herself from the men that were constantly eyeing her because of something she herself had created...she would do this.

WAA!

Essence fluctuated in the surroundings as her figure returned to the Empyrean Plane through an enormous Rift in space that remained there even after she came out.

This was the Rift leading to the Apocalypse of Time Dimension, the horrible place filled with Chaos Storms that she had just left and truly didn't want to go back into.

But she would have to go back again, and this time she would need to bring another Hegemony in tow.

'Well then…'

She pulled out a communication medallion that could easily send her voice across the void and reach the other person holding a similar medallion, her voice turning urgent as she is to put on play.

"Gold! I've caught the trail of Chamberlayne from one of the Rifts in the Empyrean Plane! He cannot slip past our fingers this time...hurry!"

THRUM! 

Unseen waves of fate and destiny echoed out as within the message, Love put the coordinates of her current location as Gold's reply came in waves.

"Do not spook him, wait for me to gather the oth-"

"He's seen me and is opening a Rift!" Before the words of Gold even finished, Love spoke into the medallion again as she could almost see the curses that Gold was laying out.

He didn't reply in the medallion after, but Love knew he was taking multiple long distance teleportations to get here as in no more than ten seconds…

BZZZT!

The area near her crackled with thunder and lightning as it split apart, the devilish figure of a toned golden haired man with a sharp jawline appearing from it as his aura spread around them madly!

She saw the Rift pulsing not too far from them as his essence quickly wrapped around it, his face turning towards Love angrily as he looked back and forth between her and the Rift.

Love kept her face outwardly that of urgency and anger as she studied Gold carefully, his raspy voice coming out as he looked into the Rift that even he could sense releasing dangerous waves.

"Why didn't you follow right away?" 

"What?" Love showed anger on her face as she pointed towards the Rift and continued. "I very much like my life, and I know even you can sense danger from that Rift. What if it's a trap? I'm not so keen on following this thief so fast. Let's just wait for everyone before we ente-"

BZZZT!

The surroundings trembled as before her words even finished, the Rift that Gold had wrapped around with his essence began to tremble unstably...showing that it was about to close at any moment!

Gold cursed under his breath as he knew just a few more seconds...just a few more and he would have multiple other Hegemonies here, but this Rift would close in the next second as his angered face full of greed for the Legacy of the Great Usurper shone, his essence billowing in waves as he grabbed Love and pushed her figure into the unstable Rift, his own body following behind a moment after!

…!

"You fucking…!"

Live was letting out expletives as they crossed the unstable waves of Dimensions, Gold's face turning hard as he kept a careful look around him, protecting his body against the raging spatial essence around them as within seconds, they came out of the Rift and arrived into where it led.

Love's words were still coming out in a berating fashion as she kept up her act even now. She had to after all, they were now so close after successfully bringing Gold into the Apocalypse of Time Dimension.

"How dare you pull me into such a place? This place that…"

Her words trailed off as she seemingly looked around them, Gold doing the same as his face hardened when he stared at the chaotic Chronos Storms in the distance.

"A woman like you talks too damn much without taking action." Gold's berating voice came out as he made sure there was no direct dangers near them, the essence of multiple Cosmic Dao Essences wrapping around him powerfully.

Love showed a wrathful expression as she counted the Cosmic Daos she knew this being to have.

Extinction just like hers that came from one of the three Universal Rank Dimensional Rifts they controlled, then there was the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation, and then the Cosmic Dao of Phantasm!

Along with this, Gold's body glistened with an even greater luster of this color as the Grand Dao that defined him as its architect...the Grand Dao of Gold wrapped around him protectively as his entire body turned purely into a man made of gold.

While berating Love, he took in everything around them as he bellowed out.

"Chamberlayne...where are you?! We have many things to discuss if you come out peacefully...you will not be attacked!"

His voice echoed out powerfully even among the chaotic Chronos Storms, seemingly ignoring Love's anger as he even came to stand beside her, a mental message echoing out in her mind from him.

"Just work together with me for now and you'll have whatever you want. I'll leave you to your own devices after we split the Legacy of the Usurper...but for now just heed my commands until we capture this Chamberlayne!"

His words were enticing as Love gritted her teeth while nodding, her heart settling with utter ease as her work was mostly done at this point.

Now, she wondered, just how would the being scheming all this be able to pull it off just from using the Chronos Storms and her?

She and Gold didn't have to wait long as a second later, the figure of Noah that was currently wearing the face of Chamberlayne who was publicly known as the one to take the Legacy of the Usurper appeared.

His figure floated only a few miles away from them, but he was near a powerful Chronos Storm that caused Gold to not teleport to his location right away as his eyes only shone with light and malice!

The two of them looked at the newly appearing figure that smiled brightly.

"Things to discuss...I do not have such time for that. I have to take the other portions of the Legacy and do not have time for you all!"

WAA!

His face had a mocking expression as he spoke, Gold's body lighting up even brighter at his appearance and the mention of another portion of the Legacy of the Great Usurper as like an arrow knocked on a bow...his figure shot towards Noah.

Love watched such a scene in slow motion as her face regained its calm and clarity, focusing on her bubbling Universal Origin once more as she was ready.

Gold moved, she moved, and then Noah made his own moves!

A dance had begun...a glorious and fantastical dance that only a single being was pulling the strings of, all others merely dancing to his tune!
