The capability to form a clone wasn't an exclusive or never before heard of ability within the ranks of Paragons or Hegemonies.
In most instances though, it was an ability that could only create something half as strong as the Original, and the few that could do it didn't focus on such an area of their ability as the mana requirement to call forth a clone at the same stage of a Universe were simply too taxing!
So many Hegemonies focused on other aspects of their power, but they had their eyes open as they glanced at the image of Valentina's second clone crossing the Universal barrier as she thundered towards the figure of the calm Chronos once more.
Towards the lifeform that had reincarnated too many times and thought he knew everything, but this development of Valentina that should have never been a possibility was now plaguing him along with a certain problematic Paragon!
As he saw the figure of Valentina coming down with intense might a notch higher than many Hegemonies, his body circulated with essence as the enormous purple clock swirling in space moved.
THRUM!
The essence of the Cosmic Dao of Chronos permeated throughout once more as Valentina's fearless figure approached them, her body exploding into many dazzling attacks as she tried to get through the powerful might that Chronos displayed unsuccessfully!
Even with her power being increased multiple times over, she couldn't get over the boundary of the type of Daos that her enemy cultivated!
After the death of the second clone of Valentina within the Animus Universe, things seemingly became calm again.
Chronos's eyes were languid as he stared at the beings outside the boundary, Oathkeeper staring back at him with utter coldness as his body vibrated with power.
The being releasing the regal purple aura then focused onto Ambrose and Solerno who were still healing from the attacks of the first clone of Valentina's.
"That woman has become proficient in cloning and will continue to return to this Universe. Since the two of you cannot stand her, go and oversee the Chthonian and Liberated Universes for now, I will stay here."
…!
He sent a mental message towards Ambrose and Solerno as the two beings nodded with grim looks, the Hegemony of Slaughter looking particularly wrathful as he imagined countless ways he could destroy the figure of a certain woman!
SHAA!
Their figures disappeared as a second later, only Chronos was left in front of the enormous Universal Construct, his eyes carrying a trace of regality and wisdom as he looked like a being that was carrying the weight of many Universes on his shoulders.
Outside the boundary of the Animus Universe, Oathkeeeper and a few other Hegemonies watched this scene while listening to a message that Valentina sent out to them at this moment!
"I'll keep on forging clones and sending them over into this Galaxy to hinder them and learn about their skills as much as I can in the future. I'll let everyone know in advance if you all want to observe and come up with methods to stand against these beings!"
…!
Valentina spoke with strength and power as she was one of the few Hegemonies who could do anything against Chronos and his people at the moment, her words being taken seriously as Oathkeeper's figure flashed away from the boundary of the Animus Universe while he continued to send messages to Valentina to discuss a few more things.
This instance created for a new reality where Chronos alone guarded the Animus Universe while Ambrose and Solerno were spread to the Chthonian and Liberated Universes, the only existences being able to make significant moves being Valentina and a certain Paragon bent on Conquest!
The seas of Universal Fortune above Noah churned as his Destiny shone brightly, a devilish smile apparent on his face as his eyes shone with the reflection of events in the Necrotic Universe.
There, the Tyrannical Lich Emperor made its way across the deathly chaotic void of this Universe filled with Undead as at this moment, he led the terrifying presences of the Manifested Seven Deadly Sins along with the terrifying Undead Legions that had a swirling ring of death around them!
The clans of Undead he met...had no path of resistance as even the terrifying Undead Draconic Vampyres could do nothing but fall as their Paragons alone could not withstand the terrifying sight of the abomination of the Sin of Gluttony crossing the chaotic void to devour everything- even she void itself.
The terror of the Sins spread amongst the Undead from Noah's battles as while he moved and conquered vast regions of the Necrotic Galaxy without a single existence being able to stop him, a week passed!
Over 7 days of Noah relentlessly moving within the Necrotic Universe as his terrifying force of Undead had grown to ridiculous numbers, the Sins acting as Generals as they fought at the very forefront.
Noah had traversed through half of the Necrotic Universe in this period of time, taking over the Galaxy Clusters of many regions at the terror of the Tyrannical Lich Emperor had spread throughout, and Noah wasn't the only one as his Subordinates were also making progress within the Automaton Universe!
It seemed like everything was going smoothly for them as in a short period of time they would break the influence of the Hegemonies within these Universes and greatly decrease the amount of essence that the Universal Constructs were drawing in.
But...were things ever that easy?
In response to Noah's and the movements of his forces, certain beings had also been making plans and progress in the past week.
Across the Universal boundaries, there was a certain existence that was currently hidden in the Microbial Universe. This being had a swirling black hole for a head as his entire body was entirely a mass of the essence of chaos, his power shaking the very surroundings his body occupied!
At this moment, this being raised his head as in front of him, the terrifying image of miniaturized forms of himself that numbered in the hundreds were displayed- their bodies releasing a unique power as the Goliath spoke out in a raspy voice.
"It is done…"
....!
