A blank void isolated from space and time.
In this darkness, the enormous figure of the Great Usurper watched as the small shape of Chronos faded with a flicker of the essence of Reincarnation.
"Reincarnation…"
His ancient voice rumbled out as his form began to vibrate with an intense light. His eyes seemed reminiscent, but he quickly shook them as he focused on the direction that Chronos's soul was flowing back to.
Back to a certain river of time far different than the one he currently resided in!
Within this river of time were 9 anchors that currently stretched out dimly across spacetime, stretching across the uncrossable sea of Ruination...stretching even across Dimensions as it was reaching out towards the Great Usurper.
They looked like thin strands that could break at any moment, but they held a stupendous amount of power as it also seemed they were unbreakable..
His essence had already bloomed from these anchors, these Tools of Descent- these Universal Constructs...as he had more leeway on what he could do at this moment!
His eyes flickered with thought as his huge hand moved, plucking onto each of the 9 strings as a mass of obsidian crimson essence began to flow from him and course through them.
"At least it will be worth it…"
His ancient voice rang out again as while he played with the 9 strings and allowed his essence to gush forth, he was looking in another direction as his eyes could already visualize something there.
It was actually multiple of them floating across the vast Seas of Ruination, the picture and names of certain Cosmos floating across the mind of the Great Usurper as his focus returned on the one in front of him soon after!
The Primordial Cosmos that was unique...as there was even a Cosmic Treasure born within it!
Among many things, this Ancient Antiquity was also aiming for this.
"With a Cosmic Treasure capable of commanding Primordial Essence...I won't have to use this long and tedious method to find more Cosmos. Oh, my dear Sargon...you truly don't know what important tools your home has, searching for Antiquity when a method for it is right in front of you!"
RUMBLE!
The cerulean blue eyes of the Usurper flashed with wild light as he focused on a singular Primordial Cosmos. On the place that his ravenous might would descend on next as he forged his path of power.
Not a single thing would be able to stand in the way of his insuppressible destiny!
---
BZZZT!
A colorful and glorious essence of blue gold color that had been buzzing around Chronos's unconscious body began to recede.
The Dao of Reincarnation sunk back into the depths of the Origin of this being as he had not achieved a state of death and did not need to be reincarnated, the eyes of Chronos opening up soon after!
WAA!
The Goliath stopped his flow of the Cosmic essence of Extinction as he looked at the rising figure of Chronos whose dried and sunken skin began to rapidly heal.
The black hole swirling on the head of the Goliath looked over at Chronos mutely, this Hegemony that had just finished having a discussion with an Antiquity staring back at him as he opened his mouth slowly.
"There shouldn't be any issues. Tools capable of stopping the obstacle will be in place soon."
RUMBLE!
His words didn't even finish before the space around them began to tremble and twist!
Even in the hidden folds of space they were in, they felt the unique pressure and might that occurred not too long ago to start spreading wildly once again.
One of the promises of the Great Usurper was that he would direct a large amount of his focus to the Primordial Cosmos, and this promise was on its way to being fulfilled right now.
From the 9 Universal Constructs, the menacing crimson light shooting out increased by more than double as terrifying, bloody webs erupted out to cover these Constructs that were larger than galaxies and formed even more pronounced cocoons!
THUMP!
They resonated with the beat of a heart as the 9 Universes they were connected to...actually resonated with their beat for the first time ever as something shocking happened.
The Universal Barriers around these Universes...trembled as they began to be squeezed into each other.
Squeezed! As if they were coming together, as if multiple circles that were near each other at this moment...began the process of fusing!
Amalgamation.
This term has been used many times in the past, but what did it truly mean?
It was the action or process of combining! Of merging and fusing! Since the beginning, the goal of the Universal Constructs was Universal Amalgamation, and this process had ensued in full at this moment as the might of the Antiquity allowed to release his authority fully displayed itself in the Primordial Cosmos!
The Inhabitants of these 9 Universes felt this terrifying might first hand as the pressure descended around every existence powerfully.
Noah was wrapping up the ridiculously short battle in the Necrotic Universe as he put away 35 Seeds of Chaos, his powerful eyes lifting up somberly to stare towards the direction of the Universal Construct that was a few light years away from his current position.
There, he could sense the terrifying waves emanating from these Constructs, as well as the aura of the Hegemony of Necromancy that was entirely unaffected by it all!
His gaze hardened as he felt the shackles around the Necrotic Universe wrap around everything ever tighter.

Noah looked at the terrible debuffs in front of him as his eyes began to blaze with a light of anger!
