916: An Influence Above a Paragon!

An Influence Above a Paragon!

Tests have to be done every now and then to fully understand things, and Noah was doing just this when he sent four clones far above him where a Monarch had appeared.0

He wanted to know- exactly how much was the gap in strength?!

Each of the clones carried with them horrendous percentages as their strength was comparable to Great Sages that had already forged tens of millions of Galaxies, but he found that the power of a Monarch was inviolable as within seconds of the aoe skill that was termed [Nine-Tailed Hellfire Crucible] being cast, the defenses of the four clones were being ground down faster than they could regenerate!

Even as the essence of many Daos rumbled out to cast defensive barriers, it was no use as the horrifying pressure of the Hellfire Crucible called forth ground the defenses of the draconic clones as a second later...they were turned into mists of blood.

THRUM!

Such a scene caused Noah's eyes to shine brightly, 4 clones being taken out of commission as he didn't truly make any losses, but it brought to attention the fact that within his arsenal, aside from [Plot Armor] and the ability he had just cast, he didn't truly have an overpowered defensive skill to withstand powerful enemies!

"Such trash!"

BOOM!

The voice of the Monarch resounded out after he ground down the bodies of 4 clones, his aura spreading out to cover the entirety of the Stardew Valleys as his gaze came to lock upon...Noah's main body that held blue runic lines all over.

His fearsome body then began to shoot towards Noah, his eyes filled with a wrathful light that seemed to say the next ones to die would be in an even more painful manner!

Yet Noah's figure wasn't the least bit bothered as at this moment, the Nether Lich Emperor that had its Legion spread throughout the Stardew Valleys sent him a message that all the dragons had crossed through the Universal Gateways established throughout. 

His subordinates and summons...had also collected all the loot they needed as they were already back in the Pocket Universe! The events all coincidentally fell into place just seconds after he cast [Deus Ex Machina]!

As Noah looked towards the light that was a Monarch rushing towards his position though, he remained still as the light of destiny told him the effects of [Deus Ex Machina] were just getting started.

He was truly curious of the feeling he found these past minutes, and wanted to understand just what he was being led to. His life wasn't in any danger with the ability of Deus Ex Machina active, and he still had [Save Point] and [Plot Armor] to utilize if he wished! But he wanted to pierce through the mysteries of what the Grand Dao of Destiny was trying to tell him!

WAA!

The wrathful Monarch arrived towards his position in a matter of seconds, his eyes dancing with flames of anger as he glanced upon Noah.

"So it is you."

His voice was extremely heavy as Noah felt the surrounding space constrict and become locked down.

"Who sent you? Your reply determines whether you die quickly or excruciatingly slowly." With a domineering tone, Monarch Odo spoke out as essence burst from his, ready to move at any moment.

Yet he found that his opponent was only curiously staring towards him, looking over at the illusion of billions of galaxies that stood behind the force that the Monarch released!

Odo saw the being in front of him did not even bother to talk, his eyes falling with disappointment as he found he could not give an answer to the Royals of the Nine-Tailed Fox Race on exactly why one of their Princes had fallen within the Stardew Valleys.

"An excruciatingly slow death it is then."

RUMBLE!

His roiling essence coagulated to begin forming a terribly powerful Hellfire Crucible Noah had seen before, this Crucible seemingly ready to come to life and extinguish any beings within it when suddenly...the whole of Stardew Valleys came to a halt. 

…!

Not just the Stardew Valleys, but the entire Planet of Consanguinity that was the size of a galaxy...everything seemingly came to a halt!

Noah was able to feel this more closely than others as his clones that were back in the Pocket Universe and the one in the Ruination Realm felt the situation of their main body, and they could not exactly explain what was happening with it.

Even Monarch Odo was brought to a halt as after a second passed, everything resume again.

Yet the expression of the Monarch rapidly changed and turned ashen, the light coming back to his eyes as he looked around him to find...empty skies.

The location where a certain obsidian-blue Tyrant Dragon had been...was entirely empty as if he had never been there!

No spatial fluctuations, no essence that dealt with the void or space- nothing! The enemy he was about to eradicate seemingly just disappeared as if he had never been there in the first place.

The heart of Monarch Odo trembled as when faced with this terrifying situation, a shocking thought passed through his mind.

'That...was a power above a Monarch! Was it a Paragon, or a….!'

…!

Monarch Odo's eyes became heavy as he could hear his thumping heart beat, his face extremely cold as he voiced out towards the Great Sages and Sages that had come with him far above in the skies, neither of them being any wiser on what had just happened as to them, Monarch Odo had just disappeared from their sight to take care of the enemies below and now his voice was just ringing out again.

"Scour the Stardew Valleys for the enemies and kill any that remain on sight!"

OOOOH!

His command was heard as many powerful forces thundered down into the Stardew Valleys, but they would find to their shock that no enemies could be found across the 1 Light year region...as well as no dragons throughout the Stardew Valleys!

Just as reinforcements had arrived to provide aid, the battle had long since concluded as enemies left with what they came for, leaving behind only bombshells that would be spread to the higher ups of the Supreme Bloodline Races.

One of these bombshells would come from Monarch Odo...who experienced something that he knew could not be done by a Monarch or even a Paragon, but something even more monstrous!
