Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 197 - A True Apocalypse! I

In the newly appearing ship above the space of the Lost World of Atlantis.

The exquisitely built ship actually only had a few figures piloting it. It was a tool used for mass destruction by a group that many worlds feared across the Universe.

At the helm, there were only three figures taking command, with the one at the forefront tampering with a command panel that was causing the changes that the inhabitants of the world below them were feeling.

"The verdict for this ’Lost World’ has been discussed and cleared, Athena. Why do you hesitate?"

A figure to the right, who wore golden robes and had the image of an important being with arrogance ingrained in their bones asked the dark-skinned Athena that was taking command today.

"I was trying to see what the beings of this word would think if they knew what they brought down to themselves and their world, but I guess it doesn’t matter."

The woman, Athena, who couldn’t be any older than 25, answered with a nonchalant expression as she continued on with the command panel and activated the World Cannons.

"No, it does not matter. They tampered with forces outside of their boundaries and caused an increase in Chaos. It is simply our job to correct that, to bring back the balance caused by their disruption"

Another reply came from the figure left of Athena, this one looking like an aged old man that was wearing resplendent purple robes.

Athena nodded at this as she typed the commands to activate the weapons after covering the world with a restrictive barrier that would prevent any being from leaving.

"We do the things that many cannot, in order to serve the greater purpose. We work in the shadows to maintain order and rule in the Universe. We may destroy billions here, but we will save a trillion more over the course of time."

The aged voice of the old man continued to ring out as destructive red beams of light began to shoot out from the interstellar warship.

Athena felt something she didn’t yet understand as she watched the destructive red rays of light land on the blue planet and she nodded towards the old man.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

The three beings then watched a process they were familiar with as an oppressive feeling of strength came from each of them. Their ranks of power were not close to PHANTASMAL, but far above it.

They were beings that Noah had inadvertently mentioned from the many stolen memories when he first met Barbatos.

They were the Celestials, and they brought law and order across the Universe.

---

It was a scene of chaos and confusion. Nobody knew what exactly was going on as they felt a stifling pressure and a foreboding feeling.

Noah ignored the figures of despairing Rulers that had a few PHANTASMAL ranks left with them as his figure moved across the waters because he found to his dismay that he could not teleport anymore.

He was sending messages to the Kraken and rushing down towards the location where the Ocean Master was surrounded by Atlanteans and Merfolk. They looked towards the striking figure of the Hydra holding the Trident with confusion and fear in their eyes as his booming voice came.

"There is no time, Ocean Master. Don’t resist and come into my space treasure."

Noah could feel his heart sinking as he saw the Ocean Master had on a fearful expression. This was a PHANTASMAL ranked being who was at the peak of power in the Lost World, and yet similar to the Calamities, his face was fully drained of color.

The reason for this was the saddening cry he and the other PHANTASMAL beings in the Lost World continued to hear. It was a saddening cry that could only be heard by them first, but was gradually getting louder and would soon be heard by every being on the Lost World.

From the ship that had appeared in the space above the Lost World, never before seen destructive rays of red light had begun shooting out, heading down and piercing the layers of water as they descended down further and further.

RUMBLE!

Land and sea around the Lost World began to shake and tremble as an attack was released from this foreign ship with no word.

Noah felt the red beams of light that were not even near them, but he could feel their horrendous power even at the location he was standing in. His heart continued to drop as he let out another shout towards the ashen Ocean Master, who looked at him in despair.

He shook his head as the trident floating on around him flew out at a blazing speed and smacked onto the head on the distraught Ocean Master, knocking him out as Noah transferred him into the Spiritual Land. He couldn’t teleport around since the advent of the stifling pressure that pressed down on them, but he could still use the function of transferring beings in and out of his Spiritual Land.

"The rest of you, quickly, don’t resist. I’m trying to save you!"

He moved rapidly as he transferred the many Atlanteans and Merfolk that were looking around in confusion and fear as he continued to move. He didn’t even look at the figures of Rulers that would have given him more loot as he now rushed towards the direction of Atlantis.

The Kraken seemed to have finally come out of its stupor as its red eyes had streaks of dark tears appearing, but its large body still moved quickly as the reality none of them had expected finally registered in their minds.

A terrifying enemy none of them knew had appeared above their planet. From the pressure that even made the PHANTASMAL ranked beings feel stifled, from the cries they continued to hear from the strong voice of the world they were used to, they finally registered and terrifyingly accepted a possible reality none of them wanted.

They could not stand against the newly arriving enemy, and something horrendous would be occurring to their home.

It was a scene of chaos and confusion as many still did not know what was happening. Even Noah barely had an idea as he passed on the words of the Sect Master to the Kraken. He continued to move rapidly around the City of Atlantis as he transferred any beings he came across into his Spiritual Land.

The cries that could only be heard by the PHANTASMAL beings with this world as their home were now getting into Noah’s ears as he felt emotions he had never had in a long time appear. The cries seemed to induce sadness as he unconsciously felt tears release from even him.

It was the cries of a world.

The cries of a world that knew it was coming to an end.
