Chapter 669: 669
The defenders of the Stellar Sky Galaxy gathered under the QUASAR ranked Ruler of this Galaxy as they watched the unhindered Ancient Vessels of the Fiends rush towards them .
Many of them were fearful as they did not even have the will to attack first, seeing how outnumbered they were by the many Fiends .
They had over 200 beings in the Realm of Black Hole while they had slightly over 50 when the defenders of the Imperial Princess were combined, and while the number of Nebula rank individuals they had were in the hundreds, the Fiends were above 2000!
To top it all off, they only had a single QUASAR ranked expert while the other side had two! Faced with such a line up, who would not despair?
The answer was very few special beings!
One was the transformed Imperial Princess that had a shocking look of a being clad in scorching plasma, even the nearby Nebula rank individuals feeling this searing heat as they pulled back in fear . The wings made of plasma erupting behind her seemed to make her unique charm and power even more l.u.s.trous as they did not harm her one bit, the control this woman had over the minute atomic particles being extremely frightening .
The other being that wasn"t s.h.i.+tting his pants amidst all of this was naturally Noah!
He had heard the shaking words of the Fiends reverberating through the nearby stars, coming out of the Stellar Realm where he had continued to absorb numerous Effulgent Star Pearls as he forged more stars within his Nebula .
Currently, he was sitting over 16,000 stars as his Nebula felt extremely robust and vibrant, and the intrusion of these beings made him look around in surprise as he complained within .
These were extremely powerful enemies, with two that were shockingly two Realms above him!
He wasn"t fearful as he knew he could run away whenever he wished, and none of these beings were even aiming or looking at someone like him as he seemed to be a small figure in this expansive galaxy .
But was running ever part of his skill set? The answer was no!
He also could not turn tail and teleport away since the person with a singular ident.i.ty in the Nexus Galaxy had already connected herself to him, and he would be taking an easy path if he continued to stay near her as he went on to try and complete the Protagonist Trait that required him to play a central role in the Nexus Galaxy .
As he looked at all of these factors . . . he chose to stay and fight! He would fight, but of course, he would not throw his life away . So his mind had moved as a few plans formed, and he began adapting to the situation right away as he acted based on his thoughts .
The first thing he did was the moment after he left the Stellar Realm, two drops of blood dripped from him as they floated imperceptibly across the starry s.p.a.ce, hiddenly beginning to form into the shape of a humanoid being not too long after as for the first time as Alexander- the Ancient Blood Clones were reproduced!
An ability stemming from the [Blood Lord] skill tree continued to be just as useful as ever, making Noah keen on continuing this Skill Tree and even the ignored Law of Chaos skill tree .
The clones that stemmed from the ability fully formed as they had a singular mission- to continue searching for and absorbing the Effulgent Star Pearls on any Stellar Realms and Stellar Stars lying in the Stellar Sky Galaxy .
His goal was to push his number of forged stars as high as possible, and the situation in front of him . . . was extremely helpful towards that goal if he played it well!
There were over 2000 Fiends in the rank of Nebula aboard the Ancient Vessels, and 200 more in the Realm of Black Hole on top of that .
He did not even begin to think that he could take down the QUASAR ranked beings as was right now, so he focused on the Fiends of lower rank as he knew if he could take many of them down and absorb their cores . . . coupled with his clones searching for and absorbing the Effulgent Star Pearls, he was bound to have an explosive growth unlike any other!
He was not sure how hard of a fight it would be against the Fiends in the Realm of Black Hole, nor what his absorbing of the cores of these beings would provide in terms of forged stars . At these high Realms of Power, one needed to acc.u.mulate a large amount of essence before they could proceed forward, and Noah had yet to even confirm the path forward after establis.h.i.+ng his Black Hole .
But that would not prevent him from trying to take down experts of such a level as he tested exactly what they would give .
Cores! Skill Points! Whatever other loot they brought with them!
His eyes shone with a greedy light as he planned to use this terrifying ordeal that had many beings despairing and fearful into an opportunity!
The only reason he was somewhat confident besides the fact that he could easily teleport away . . . was when his thoughts went towards a certain skill that he had received from an Ultimate Law not too long ago . His eyes turned into slits as he stared into the stat panel to observe its shocking percentages once more .
[Yggdrasil](5/5) :: An ability that most beings cannot keep active for longer than a few minutes because of its immense mana requirements, but a worthy ability of a user of the Law of Life . Project your comprehension of the Law of Life outwards as you take on the form of an ancient tree lost in the vicissitudes of time . In this form, the user gains +3000% Physical and Soul Defense, +3000% to All Damage, +5000% Health and Mana Regeneration, +3000% Increased Area of Effect on all Abilities, +3000% Increased Attack Speed, +100% Universal Laws Resistance Penetration, +100% to all Universal Laws Resistance, +10% Vitality Returned Each Time an Enemy is. .h.i.t by an Attack . All enemies struck by your branches gain the [Withered] status effect . All Allies struck by your branches gain the [Boosted Life Force] status effect . The user will also gain a Life s.h.i.+eld after every 10 minutes this ability is kept active . (The skill is currently being enhanced by the [Life] ability . )
With such boosts of this ability that many others could not even keep active for a few minutes, he felt like he should be able to withstand Black Hole Realm experts while being able to butcher those in the Nebula Realm freely!
He could already take care of Nebula Rank Fiends with ease as he saw in the Devouring h.e.l.ls Realm of the Nexus Galaxy where some of them were imprisoned, and he was basing his plans on this .
The only thing he would have to watch out for and carefully navigate was the presence of the two QUASAR ranked Fiends . He did not have much information on the fearsome power of this Realm, nor did he know if the being known as the Ruler of the Stellar Sky Galaxy would be able to stand against one of the Fiends, much less two!
As he glanced at the image of the Imperial Princess clad in purple-blue wings of plasma, he could feel an unshaken gaze that let him know help might be coming because of the ident.i.ty of this being, but the words of the QUASAR Fiend also let him know that the Nexus Galaxy was most likely under attack .
Help would not be coming anytime soon, and they were most likely on their own!
As the Ancient Vessels of the Fiends neared and he sensed the s.p.a.ce shattering power of the two at the forefront, he breathed out calmly as his nerves settled and his mind turned clear .
He sensed the Imperial Princes and her maids not too far away, the protectors steeling their resolves to defend with their lives, and the defenders of the Stellar Sky Galaxy standing behind their Ruler as they prepared for a clash where their lives would most likely be lost .
His eyes then closed as he spread his arms out freely and called out .
[Yggdrasil] .
…
RUUUUUUUUMBLE!
At this moment, a Primeval Ancient Tree had taken root in the starry s.p.a.ce of the Stellar Sky Galaxy .
