Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The Founder was still calmly enjoying exquisite meats that came from the bodies of Supreme Behemoths while he sat alone in the expansive golden hall atop a regal chair.

As he saw the chaotic scenes of the battle where three World Rank Celestial Grandmasters had just lost their lives, all he did was pause briefly before bringing another piece of a glistening thigh towards his mouth, his mouth slowly moving in a soliloquy thereafter!

"I see. So that's what that feeling was all about."

His gaze was as apathetic as ever as he nodded, his eyes shining gold as they focused on the figure of the Infernal Lord that was now going around destroying the Prime Warships and any of those that wanted to board them, the eyes of the Founder also focusing on the figures of World Rank beings summoned by the Infernal Lord as the golden light only became brighter.

"The coming of this so-called 9th Infernal Lord was touted as such a big thing by Fate, that his appearance meant the beginning of the Last War and blah blah blah. But isn't this just subpar?"

Shocking words of extreme disdain released from him easily as his eyes observed the movements of the Infernal Lord and uncovered numerous secrets!

"Proficient in multiple laws, sure. Transformation abilities to boost his power output, and he's even dabbling in the law of fate as well. All made possible by your intrusion I'm sure, but the final attack he used to take out those three weaklings is just a failure, don't you think?"

It felt like he was talking to himself, yet he also wasn't at the same time as his eyes shone with splendor, analyzing things in a manner that very few would be able to in their entire lifetimes!

"A final skill that summons 5 beings at the same rank as himself. Seems scary enough, but if you peel through all the bravado and falsehoods...you can see that these beings are simply husks with no souls nor any accomplishments in the universal laws. If this creature you've made ever comes near me with such failure of abilities, he'll die right away you know? Although the abilities stemming from the law of Chaos seem proficient enough, but this really is a waste of my forces to test what exactly you would throw at me as I begin this Last War."

Words that would cause the sent Celestials to despair released from him, his thoughts revealing this initial Legion sent forth into the Dark Expanse being only a test to observe exactly what was in store for the coming war!

"I must say, it was thoroughly disappointing. At this point, I think your best bet would have been to strengthen the old Infernal Lords and bring a few more of them up to the Nebula Realm. Maybe then they could match me in a worthy final battle before I break out of this cage. But this little present you've prepared? Hah!"

Contempt was vibrant on his face as mysteries unknown to many unfolded from him, a slight smile appearing on his apathetic face as he enjoyed his sumptuous meal while watching a battle where thousands of beings from the Light Expanse and hundreds of his Celestials were dying every second!

Yet as all of this continued, indistinct Fate Line after Fate Lines were descending from the skies and coming to tightly wrap around him, his gaze not leaving the feed showing what was occurring at the Verittas Fortress as the decimation of his forces continued!

"Your earlier moves were very cunning. Using love to turn one of my brothers against me and making the other lose all hope as he senselessly wanders along the Letalis Expanse. But this 9th Infernal Lord that Fate is being all bubbly about...ah let's just watch and see, maybe there is still something I haven't seen hmm?"

The apathetic founder continued on with his monologues in the Celestial Realm as in a completely different location, in one of the most hellish Infernal Realms where the powerful Infernal Lords resided, a singular figure clad in a white robe was floating peacefully in the blazing red skies, their gaze happily watching a similar scene as the Founder as they observed with great interest!

The figure was dressed in a white robe that was an extremely stark contrast with the hellish and chaotic atmosphere of the Infernal Realm, but it seemed to be very fitting as it matched the flowing white hair and blue eyes of this being, the happy smile being one that would cause the hearts of many to flutter.

"Not too shabby, but still a long way to go."

A clear and sonorous voice rang out from her as she changed her position, waving her hands towards the illusory screen showing the ongoing battle as it faded. To her, this battle was already considered finished, all that was left thereafter being the unfortunate scene of Chaos that came from these wars, blood continuing to flow freely in the vast expanse of space.

For the truly powerful figures of the Novus Galaxy that bothered to watch the scenes at the Verittas Fortress, the first battle of the long coming war was effectively over, and they had discerned a few important things from it.

One was the appearance of the 9th Infernal Lord foretold by Fate, the other was naturally the directions of the winds of victory of this war actually going to the side nobody expected- the Dark Expanse!

In the first battle initiated by the Celestials, it actually looked like they would be taking a huge loss!

The Grand Mage Edrusim was watching the ongoing scenes of the battle with a shocked smile as he laughed jovially, the Mage's Tower he was in turning particularly rowdy as they observed the happenings of the Verittas Fortress.

In another location, the Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok should have also been happy, but he held a troubled expression as he saw the power of this Infernal Lord that was somehow connected to the Vampyre Ancestors.

He had to find out exactly what was going on around this issue, steeling his heart as his power at the Star Forging Realm exploded, setting out to confront this Infernal Lord right away for answers!

Some were joyful, some gaining a new sense of fear, but the results remained the same.

Back in the battlefield, the symphony of Chaos continued as Noah spread his senses out wide, sweeping it across the void of space as he confirmed not a single Celestial remained.

Complete massacre!

OOOH!

He sent a command to the Infernal Legion to stand down and stop needlessly taking the lives of the surrendering beings of the Prime Worlds that accompanied the Celestial Legion, his body that was thrumming with power settling down as he looked around to the only places where battles were still ongoing.

Only the single Celestial Grandmaster matched against the Dark Wizard Shanora still stood, all the other World Rank Grandmasters facing their death! It was actually Grandmaster Ramiel who controlled the 7th Celestial Star, his character being so meaningless that he was only being mentioned now, his defeat not even needing to be expressed with more words!

The only other World Rank Expert that stemmed from the Prime Worlds, Master Brightstar, had surrendered with his gaze that of confusion and despair as Commanding Mage Turner had his essence tightly binding him.

The World Rank Summons that Noah commanded had helped rapidly bring the battlefield into order, their entrance accelerating and stopping most of the battles as only a single World Rank Grandmaster remained, the gaze of Ramiel being that of despair as he felt the auras of numerous World Rank beings coming towards him!

Noah's eyes focused on this remaining World Rank Grandmaster as his figure teleported right away, intent on fully finishing this grand battle as he counted the enormous gains!
