Chapter 554 - Reinforcements, A Narrow Focus!
In the Verittas Fortress, a buzz of activity was going on as a large number of reinforcements were continuously arriving.
The Old Man Inuit had foreseen of what was to come as many pieces were moved towards the Verittas Fortress, the auras of multiple Star Forging experts being added as time passed. This arrival of multiple new Star Forging experts was not the most surprising thing to happen at the Verittas Fortress though, as many beings watched in a stupor when the realm of the 9th Infernal Lord was revealed the moment he returned!
His devilish handsomeness seemed to have increased as he reappeared next to his Infernal Legion, his aura actually standing stably at the Star Forging Realm as the Legion which waited for him at the Verittas Fortress welcomed this new level of strength with even more vigor.
"Ready to serve!"
"Ready to destroy!"
OOOH!
Soon after, the appearance of the powerful beasts that followed the Infernal Lord reappeared, with their realms shockingly being at the World Rank.
Many of the beings at the Verittas Fortress nearly doubted their eyes at this scene as they knew they saw these beasts at the Domain Realm just in the last battle, and yet now just a day later multiple of them returned at the World Realm!
Was it so easy for one to advance realms nowadays?!
Did World Rank experts grow on trees?!
They watched on with disbelieving gazes as an arrogant Emperor Penguin flaunted his aura at the World Rank, its beady eyes watching the newly arriving reinforcements with its beak raised high.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
Cries that seemed to foretell of future victories rang out as more beings packed the defensive stronghold that was the Verittas Fortress. Commanding Mage Turner who had been overseeing this stronghold for the past months was currently relinquishing his control over to the newly arriving Star Forging Grand Mage that Edrusim sent over, this powerful figure learning all about the defenses of the Fortress as they prepared for an attack unlike anything they had faced before in this war.
This was because they had received the crucial information that an enormous Legion was being formed on the Celestial’s side made up of multiple Star Forging individuals, terrible beings like the War Princess Athena, Crixus the Destroyer, and even Special Existences joining this Legion!
This wasn’t to mention the Star Forging Golden Commanders, two of which would be piloting a Realm Dreadnaught that was known for wiping away planets with ease while using the terribly powerful weapons on this vessel.
Thus, the side of the Dark Expanse was preparing as the defenses were reinforced, a Star Forging Vampyre Lord and the 6th Infernal Lord at the Star Forging Realm both leading their Legions to the Verittas Fortress.
OOOOH!
The fearsome chants of the Infernals could be heard as the mindset of many of the beings in the Verittas Fortress was actually not fearful, many of them feeling confident even with the news that a Realm Dreadnaught would be heading their way sooner or later.
This was because they all knew the single being who held too many surprises protecting them- the 9th Infernal Lord that had actually trashed two Star Forging Celestials when his realm was still at the World Rank!
Now that his strength seemed to have grown a whole other level, the confidence in the hearts of the defenders of the Dark Expanse was actually bolstered even more.
Noah saw the eyes watching him on the battlefield as they all emanated hope while looking towards him, his heart remaining firm as he continued to enhance his strength in order to remain confident himself. This was not turning out to be an issue as his second clone continued to work hard in the Time Space of the Infinite Realm, the first skill tree in his tool kit advancing into the Star Forging Rank.
As he continued to advance forward and saw the scarceness of the Skill Points with their increasing uses in both Skill Points and when unlocking skill trees, he was planning on focusing on a few specific skill trees! He was planning on focusing on the Skill Trees of the Supreme Laws, as well as the Skill Tree dealing with the abilities of a Terror!
Instead of raising multiple skill trees and spreading his scarce Skill Points across multiple trees that would just be at the Star Forging Realm, he planned to focus on two, or at most three- as he planned to raise them to the powerful Nebula Realm.
This led for his clone to fully shift his focus onto a single tree as its proficiencies were wrapped up efficiently, the first Skill Tree to step into the Star Forging Realm being the Lesser Cthulhu tree!
From the small stage of Lesser Cthulhu until reaching the World Rank Juvenile Terror, Noah chose the next upgrade of this skill tree to be...[Terror of Aether- Cthulhu(Young)].
RUMBLE!
As soon as the requirements were met and the sacrificial skills required given, a unique energy signature erupted out even though he had yet to even activate any of the new abilities of this skill tree!
When he went forward to upgrade this skill tree, the Terror that was trying to return to slumber while spreading his expansive senses out in order to return to his job was woken up once more, a grumble of annoyance ringing out from him!
His eyes that were the size of stars opened slowly once more as he was interrupted for the 2nd time today, the annoyance palpable as the destructive Aether rolled around him.
This was not the first time the Terror of Aether had sensed its unique energy signature being displayed elsewhere. Every time this signature appeared, the Terror had paid it very little heed as it was very weak. Yet today, it felt extremely potent- to the point that the Terror could say it felt like the energy he released when he was first born!
The enormous red eyes for stars twinkled in the vastness of space as they seemed to be in thought, closing to return to slumber once more as the Terror ignored all distractions to focus on the job he was assigned. Yet, he could not stop letting a thought pass through.
’Must you always experiment with more? Can you not be happy with all of us right now...?’
A question was asked from the mind of one of the most powerful beings in the Novus Galaxy, but he received no answer as the river of time continued forward!
One could sense loneliness and feelings of neglect in these thoughts, the history they carried being something very few could understand!
