Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Chapter 298 - The Title of an Infernal Lord

In the vastness of the Novus Galaxy, at a particularly obscure location in the Letalis Expanse, there was a small asteroid floating in space. This asteroid was only a couple of miles in diameter, and would normally be orbiting around a star. Yet at this moment, it seemed to be stationed in space as it simply floated.

The cause of this was the only two beings situated upon this rock who were extremely focused on a board game in front of them. In this void of space, a being with a humanoid appearance, but having multiple horns erupting out of its head in the form of a crown was scrunching his face in annoyance.

The being sitting opposite him was clad in a dark robe and a uniquely shimmering pointed hat, this one actually being a human and holding a wizened old jovial expression as he was winning the game that was being played.

"Haha, you'll have to relinquish two worlds after you lose this game!"

The voice of the aged human in a pointed hat boomed out in the vastness of space as he taunted the being in front of him, who looked up in annoyance as the crown formed from his own horns shimmered.

"Hmph, the loss of two worlds is nothing to worry about. Why don't we-"

The crowned being came to a stop unexpectedly as he placed his hand on his chest briefly, before a wide smile erupted from his face as all the annoyance from the loss he just took went away. The old man in a pointed hat observed this as he spoke with a questioning tone.

"What exactly made you so happy, Voldred?"

The crowned being stood up as he patted his clothes with a smile, the board he was just playing on disappearing as he replied.

"It seems like fate is really due for a correction in the near future. I've received two signals in the past days of a possible qualifier taking the last remaining seat. It seems that the ally that will break this stalemate will join us sooner than expected!"

"What?!"

Rumbling erupted on the stationary asteroid as the old man in a conical hat stood up abruptly, his gaze becoming stern as his old body palpitated with power.

"The eight of you aren't enough that an extra one has to be thrown into the midst?"

The old man spoke in a semi threatening voice as the one called Voldred laughed and shrugged off a reply.

"The one to take this seat will be the last. Why even act like that? You should be very clear by now about the reason for our existence."

"Hmph."

The game ended abruptly as the two beings stood up and looked at each other closely, Voldred speaking out again.

"You've bested me yet again, young Edrusim. You can have the World of Eradell and the 4th Twilight Realm for my loss today. I have to get back to my little abode and prepare for the coming war."

Dangerous words were said with a light smile as one being simply gave another the ownership of two worlds, and mentioned something as foreboding as a war to finish it off!

The old being with a wizened expression that was just called a young man, Edrusim, scoffed as his body began to be littered with auroras of lights.

"A Realm that you've already milked dry and a world with extremely weak creatures. You're as cheap as always, O Great Infernal Lord."

Edrusim finished his words mockingly as he watched the Infernal Lord in front of him laugh, his devilish figure disappearing in a blinding red light as only Edrusim was left on the stationary asteroid!

A cold and impassive look passed over Edrusim as the colorful aurora of lights around his body intensified, his figure disappearing soon after from the asteroid as it began to move through the void of space yet again.

Both of these two beings appeared briefly on this small rock and played a game, leaving thereafter as a shocking piece of information would soon begin to spread amongst the knowledgeable forces in the Letalis Expanse and the Dark Expanse of the Novus Galaxy. This information was contained among the higher ups, never meeting the light of day for any beings that other than the extremely powerful. It was a simple piece of information that held shocking meaning.

The information was none other than- The rise of a new Infernal Lord was on the horizon!

This shocking piece of information would spread in the Letalis and the Dark Expanse, with the Light Expanse receiving this information much quicker than most as in the 7th Celestial Star where a brand new Celestial Disciple would soon descend into, a particular Celestial Grandmaster stood up from his resplendent monastery as his face became grim.

Multiple lines of fate were rushing into his eyes as he used an unknown technique, his face becoming darker by the second as he stood up and left the monastery, going towards a deeper location in the Celestial Star where other Celestial Grandmasters were cl.u.s.tered, busy with their own jobs and stations.

The wizened Celestial Grandmaster shot towards a central location as he spoke softly, his voice traveling to a unique golden medallion he held in his hand.

"I hereby call forth an emergency meeting of all the Grandmasters on the 7th Celestial Star.

The voice was calm yet filled with grimness as it called forth, numerous auras of ridiculous powerhouses erupting out from the 7th Celestial Star.

Back to the First Realm of Hell where a majestic Lesser Cthulhu floated in the fiery skies, Noah continued to observe the title of Infernal Lord whose description could not be read, but a single 1% was visible next to it.

The qualification he had gained was one percent complete, and he would have to bring this percentage all the way to 100 if he wanted to actually obtain this title of an Infernal Lord.

As for the way to do it? His lips curved into a smile as he organized the information that came with this qualification and glanced towards the quivering Infernals in the distance. The same way he had gained the qualification to begin with, he had to build up the unique energy signature of the Infernals, the unique essence that was termed Skill Points by the Planetary System, to extreme amounts before this qualification could turn into a full-fledged title!

There was a tremendous amount of mysteries surrounding the Infernals that he needed to solve, along with finding out how a being like the Lesser Cthulhu came into the picture of all of this, or if there were any other things that allowed for this qualification to be made possible to a being like him.

There were many unanswered questions, but he knew what he had to do in order to get the answers he needed. He would follow the path that was opening in front of his eyes to completion until he reached the finish line!
