One might themselves asking for what reason the Spirit Race would hold such immense confidence?
There were actually a variety of answers for this question, but they could not be revealed so easily as one of the answers came in the form of a Grand Dao- one that was particularly ranked high among the many Grand Daos out there...it was the Grand Dao of Destiny!
A Dao that allowed a being to pierce through the abstruse mysteries of the fates of others and the forces moving either with them or against them...a Dao that would take too many pages to explain just from its sheer mysteriousness.
Through this Dao, the Sages of the Spirit Race knew that the Master of Ruination was coming!
They knew of the forces he was bringing!
They also knew...of the eventual result they had calculated.
Through all of this, they weren’t filled with fear as instead, overwhelming confidence leaked through every part of their orifices!
Even though towards the past few days when they had not been able to glean any more data from the Master of Ruination, they calculated that his strength would not rise that drastically for him to escape their calculations.
Mind you, the last time they could glean information about Noah was the moment before his battle with the Sword Emperor, right before he assimilated all Universal Laws and obtained the Cosmic Dao that was the reason for their stoppage of information!
It was only a day or at most 2 days since then.
For what could change in such a short period of time?
The uncountable number of Spirit Race filling up the chaotic void were in an orderly state, all of them forming nest lines as their bodies thrummed with power.
The ones lined up ranged from Low Tier GALAXY all the way to Peak, Entities and Sages filling the ranks at the very forefront!
The Sages took the lead as beings that looked extremely similar to each other formed a small line to stand in front of the innumerable army.
Each of the Sages had a shimmering blue crown that matched the hazy shape of their bodies, these blue crows spinning wondrously atop their heads as they pulsed with essence.
They would occasionally speak amongst themselves every few minutes.
"We cannot discern the Master of Ruination, but those around him are no problem. The Sword Emperor is weakened to a large extent, most likely in a bid to increase the strength of the Master of Ruination. The childish Sage is at the same level, while another Sage has risen from the ranks of beings around our target."
The Sage that had first come in contact with Noah through Sister Gold smiled.
"The target...the Master of Ruination..."
"If he hadn’t come into the picture for just a few more months, the goal would have been achieved with surety."
The sonorous voice of another Sage rang out, and one would even find it hard to distinguish their voices apart!
"The theory we pushed aside as the cause for him being hidden from us may actually be true though."
"...possibly, after all- it is in his title. How unfair the Cosmos would be if that were the case."
RUMBLE!
Shocking words filled with clues came out from these terrifying beings, their eerie conversation continuing!
"Haha, when have the Cosmos ever been fair? It is why we must do things this way. We cannot depend on things to be handed down to us like the others."
"Until we can forge our own path..."
"Until we have achieved it ourselves!"
THRUM!
Dao essences swirled around them, shimmering with gold as it represented Destiny- but there were a great deal of other Dao essences swarming around them!
At this moment, they went quiet as from a few hundred miles away, they began to sense reverberations ringing out from the chaotic void.
Gradually, the image of a magisterial throne appeared on the horizon, a man domineeringly situated on this throne as his eyes released glorious beams of red light!
A bouncing Blue Slime could be seen by the side as an arrogant Emperor Penguin also came into the picture. Behind them, the shocking auras of 5 Sages appeared as they floated protectively around being atop the Throne.
THRUUUM!
The shocking figures of his Summons floated around him, the shimmering Golden Crow causing all the others to be seen vibrantly.
Next, the terrifying figure of the Nether Lich Emperor appeared, followed by an enormous Undead Legion that was led by 100 Entities- the Necrolords that comprehended the Grand Dao of Decadence!
It was only then that the raucous Legions from the Infinite Galaxy made their appearance.
The leaders of the Ancient Powers Noah had absorbed.
The Sword Emperor and Morgana!
The Holy Emperor, Old Man Khan, Imperial Adjudicator, Anna...
The Harbingers of Sin that carried with them their own resplendent Animus Summons as Barbatos was seen with a shimmering Monkey King, the Sword King Kazuhiko sitting atop a Galaxy Devouring Wolf!
Nearly all the powerhouses of the Infinite Galaxy appeared grandly as they all rallied behind Noah who floated with his throne towards the Sages of the Spirit Race.
The two sides closed in on each other as essence thrummed gloriously, yet the innumerable and incorporeal beings of the Spirit Race remained still!
The Spirit Race Sages at the forefront broke the silence as they actually talked amongst each other once again.
"He is actually a Sage himself..."
"Not a weak one at that. And those things connected to him...interesting!"
"What’s even more interesting is the Essence he is giving off!"
RUMBLE!
The eyes of the Sages of the Spirit Rave were actually shining as they stared at the numerous Legions, but moreover focused on the being atop the Throne of Ruination.
"Hmm, it truly was the theory we pushed aside. Truly unfair!"
...!
Even while faced with a terrifying force that they had largely not foreseen, the Sages of the Spirit Race actually did not lose their composure!
Far off in the distance, Noah sat upon his throne as he stared at this scene with sharp eyes that glimmered with blazing light...
